STARVING IN NEW YORK.

Hundreds of Refugees From Cuba Stated
to Be in Want in Gotham.
New YORK. Dec. 1.-The Journal
and Advertiser says: Weyler's policy
of determination that he called ''recon.
centration," has resulted in an enor.
nous influx Of Cubans into New York.
Hundreds if not thousands of them are
dying Of hunger here. The number Of
these refugees is variously estimated at
from $4,000 to 10000. Perhaps, the
great minority are absolutely without
means. There are men and women
among them who were worth hun.
dreds Of thousands of dollars before the
war began, but who are now penniless.
Some of these are working as walters,
porters or seamstresses.
Emilio ~Aggramonte, president of the
Marti Charity association, says that
many of them have actually died from
starvation, and that the majority have
preferred to live quietly in misery
rather than let their desperate wants be
known t those who could help them
but who have in the past known then
to be people Of wealth, influence and
refinement.

fall of that proposition OF President
Mckinley and his cotorie Of jingoes on

are with the people on this subject as
they are with the people on the money
question, for we believe that both on
the annexation question and on the
adoption of the single gold standard, the
people of the United States by a large
majority are opposed to both. The
United States is large enough for one
country now. To get these islands away
off the continent would simply he get

The liquor traffic is the cause of most
of the poverty in u country. This is
the testimony of all who come in contact
with the poor. They all say that if the
poor would save what they spend in
drink, they would bevsstly better off
than they are.
Where does most Of our crime come
from? From those who drink to excess.
Go to any Of our prisons and ask for the
history of the criminals there, and you
| will find that this is true. Nearly all of
them will confess that, if it had not been
for drink, they would not be where they
are. Drink has led them into evil asso-
Citations, and this has produced the Oft
repeated results. Take away liquor, and
the vast majority of our criminals would
be so no longer.
What Is the cause of most of the MUIR
ders? Again We reply with the same
word, drink. Men inaame their passions
with strong drink, and then m the
quarrel which is followed with murder.
1 do not say that all murderers are
drunkards, but ! do say that the ma
jority of such. crimes are instigated by
alcohol.
Where ir any community will you find
the toughest specimens of humanity?
In the saloon. There is where they
most naturally c~ongregate, SO that the
chances are nine out of ten that If you
want to find any disreputable man you
will find him in the rum-shop. The sa-
loon is not the place where you look for
the best, but for the worst men n the
community.-Dr, Schautfler.

A Good Yachting Season.

There will be no international yachting
contest during the season of 1897, but
yachtsmen need not give themselves over
to gloomy forebodings on that account. As
n matter of fact, the outlook Is most prom
ising The absence of the big feature will
give more time and opportunity for individ
ual effort and spirited rivalry In less pre-
tentious lines of racing. IL Is probable that
before the coming season closes combina.

cludc all the yacht clubs from Canada 10
the gulf and from Newfoundland to the
Golden Gate will have been effected. This
thought In itself should act as tonic upon
the spirit of emulation that lies In the
breasts of all true sportsmen.
There will bc racing In some new classes
during the coming season. These will be
expected to bring ont number OF new
boats and lead up to some hot contests.
Most of the racing, however, will still con
