Ernest II. wiilett. the erratic English
man who was spoken OF in the Posf-Ia-
teIligencer some tine ago as desiring po-
lice protection 70 keep an expresSman
from kidnapping him. Was again in evidence
yesterday.
He called up Mayor Wood early in the
morning and told him that hls life was n
danger. He said that some mysterious
men had been az work removing the bricks
from the chimney at his house and that
there was a plot to do away with aim
The mayor was glad TO have him seek as
sistanee from the police. Willett lowered
around the station until O'Clock In the
afternoon, when Capt. Hogie had HIN
locked up on the charge OF insanity. Later
in the day he was removed 10 the county
jail. He viii be taken before Judge Moore

in al official manner
WiIllet1 told Detective Phillips that Mrs.
WiIlett. or the woman he speaks OF as his
wife, was treating him In q really shock
ing manner, and that she answered him in
language that would make a policeman
blush. He does not deny that he uses
morphine ard cocaine. but says he limits
himself TO ave grains q day. The police
think that he must take several times that
amount. as his actions are very strange
and he has all kinds Of Authorizations.

THE CUBAN HORROR.

Not even the insignia of the Red Cross
association is sacred from the attack of
Weyler's butchers in the Inflated island
of Cuba The press has already chroni-
c1ed the Staying of innocent women and
children SO often that the country has
ceased to lock upon the fact as horror.
But when the Red Cross, recognized by
every civilized country on the globe as
more sacred object than the white flag,
an insignia which has besn seen on every
battlefield of late years and even regard
ed with a sacredness equal to veneratioR
by savages, is fired upon, then warfare
becomes far more horrible than the saw
age warfare of the days of the colonies.
The press reports sent out from New
York as specials to the Journal, has the
following, which would cause the blood
of every freeman the world over to cry
out in just indignation to the powers that
be to put down the butchery while yet
there is time:
The hospital, once reached, was at
tackled on all sides. y DR.. Soler, the patriot
surgeon, came out waving white nag
and bearing the insignia of the Red Cross
to ask for mercy. He was met by vol
ley of Spanish bullets, and fell wounded.
He was dispatched few minutes later
by the machete.
A sick American in one of the buildings,
assisted by two wounded Cubans, raised
the stars and stripes. This act Infatuated
the Spanish commander, and was mace
the signal for a general charge.
The work of Spanish bayonets ana
machetes was short and bloody. NOT
prisoner was taken, not even women
nurses were spared.
When the dreadful work of cold-blooded
assassination was over and the piteous
but vain appeals of the sick for mercy
and the means of the wounded and dying
were hushed, the government commander
before retiring from the scene or MS
victory set fire to the hospital and sur
rounding buildings, burning them down
over the bodies of his victims.
Never, perhaps, in the history of civil
cation, has there been recorded such an
ect of brutality as the above. There is
lust cause for action by the United
States government in more instances
than the above, namely: First-The Red
Cross was ignored; the white flag of truce
was treated in like manner; women
nureses were butchered like hogs and
| last, but by no means least the stars and
| stripes, so dear to all Americans, in the
hands Of a man upon a cot suffering and
unable to assist himself, was shot away
! as if it were a target for the Infatuated
demons in human form.
Admitting the correctness of Attorney
| General Olney's statement that in the
President alone rested the right to de-
clare the Cubans belligerents, would 1t
not be far more manly in the executive to
remain at home for season and let the
| ducks rest awhile" and give an ear to the
suffering men, women and children of the
| Inflated isle? Declare the island in a
state Of belligerency and let the worst

ONE WISE sILyERITE.

Many of the northern papers which
have set themselves the unpleasant and
Improbable task of preaching calamity,
ruin and desolation for the coming four
years, which are attempting to cry down
enterprise, and to put damper on every
endeavor to revive industry, can profit
from the course of the Birmingham, Ala,
State Herald. That paper says:
The State Herald has determined to
ignore politics for the present year so
far as it is possible to do so. The pres
ent conditions demand that everybody
devote their attention to figuring out the
best plan to meet the conditions with
which we are surrounded. and the public
mind should not be diverted to matters
that cannot be rectified by agitation. Be-
sides many questions are likely to arise
that may change the status of things al
together. If there ever was a time to
saw wood, in our humble opinion, now is
the time. IT is neither pleasant nor
profitable to change fronts or take back
water.
The attitude of this editor is correct
and sensible. No amount of weeping is
going to alter the fact that for four
years al least gold is to be the standard
of this country. Possibly the friends of
silver may be right and the gold stand
ard a mistake. In that case we shall dis
cover the fact in due time. In every
situation, however, the man who makes
himself to better himself, and does what
NE can to help others, is not only a more
cheerful companion than one who wastes
his time in vain repinings and decries
the efforts of others but is also a more
successful man of affairs. After all, as
the State Herald intfmates, experience
may demonstrate that the gold standard
is not mistake, and in that case the
man who has been neglecting present OPP
portunities in order to avoid possible
catastrophy, to spite others or to en-
phasze belief in certain theories, may
find himself so far behind the procession
that he can never catch up with 1t.
The Birmingham paper has also chosen
well politically. If, after four years of
consistent effort, acceptance of the situ-
alton and strict attention to business it
shall be able to show that the gold
standard is a mistake, it will be able to
argue much more convincingly than If 1t
had united with others to hamper busi-
ness and refused to give the policy a fair
opportunity to demonstrate Its advant-
ages.
A few Michigan papers now acting as a
drag on the enterprise and industry OF
their localities would do we'll to think
over the State Hera1d's words very seri-
ously.-Evening Press, Grand Rapids,
Mich

THE UNrTED CHARITIES.


Now that the hard weather has struck
the city. and as a natural result suffer-
ing will follow, the good Samaritans
should look about them carefully and
see that the unfortunates are provided
for. The United Charities has been sys-
temauzed and is now in working order.
There is ample assistance for all who ac-
tually need help. The greatest suffer-
ers are those who will not apply for
charity, and will starve before they will
steal. They huddle up in cottages and
shut the deor on all charitable help. Ev-
cry citizen should make 1t a point to see
If there is not such a case near him.
1t Is not enough that you have contribute
ed to the Unitsd Charities-you must
give some of your personal pity and
thought to the poor.
Careless their merits or their faults to
scan
His pity gave ere charity began"
The element that sanctifies charity Is
love- Though a man give all his goods to
tile poor and have not love he is as a
tinkling cymbol or sounding brass.

ANNUAL STATEMENTS OF STATE
BANKS.

Comptroller Eckels has sent a letter to
state Governors asking that the legisla-
ture be requested to enact law requir-
ing state banks to send in an annual
statement to the state auditor. The state
auditor would then send these statements
to the federal comptroller of the currency,
who could use the informant thus OBJ
tanned in his annual report of the condi-
ton of national banks and financial mat
tiers In general. Several years ago Ala
bama enacted a law embrace the idea
suggested by Mr. Eckels. The state
banks in Alabama furnished the county
tax assessor a statement of their condi-
ton on the first of January, and the as
SCISSOR transmits it to the state auditor.
Many of the state and private banks also
publish their statements in the newspa-
pers, as national banks are required to do,
thus informing the public of their condi-
ton and strengthening the faith of their
depositors

NO LAUGHING MATTER.

The Grand Rapids, Mich, Evening
Press, speaking of a resolution offered
by an alderman of that city, prohibiting
the wearing of hats in places of public
entertainment, says:
In the days of the Puritan fathers and
the Connecticut blue laws a village ordi-
nance regulating the size of the hats Wo-
men should wear in public places would
have excited no establishment, but In
these days of alleged progress and en-
iightenment 1t ought to, If it does not.
Reference to the comfort of others and
respect for their rights are supposed to be
the natural accompaniment OF progress
and enlightenment, and the astonlsnnenI
occasioned by such ordinances as the one
to be presented by Alderman Wurzburg
is caused not so much by the law itself,
as by the fact that there should be women
so destitute of the sense OF propriety ana
so lacking in courtesy as to make 1t nee
essary.
When it was first moved in one of the
state legislatures to make the wearing OF
a. large hat at the theater an offense pun
ishable by fine the whole country laughed
at the author as a crank. AS the onend-
ing hats became larger and larger, how
ever and theater goers became accus-
toned to the thought the idea gained APP
prevail 1t is no longer the country MEM
bers who propose such laws, but the
residents of the cities, and we find even
the great city of Chicago adopting strin-
gent regulations In other cities the the
alters themselves have taken the matter
in hand and ushers require ladies to re-
move their Objectionable headgear be-
fore entering their seats. Big hat ordi-
nances are no longer jokes, but highly
popular measures against a public nuis-
ance.
The argument against the large hats
is unanswerable. 1t is an infringement
upon the rights of those who pay the adj
mission fee to witness the play when all
chance of viewing the stage is cut off by
one of them. and the wearer Is unques-
tionably guilty of an offense worthy Of
punishment. The persistence with which
the women have chung to fashion so OBJ
jectionable Is surprising, and while 1t is
better as rule to let such matters regu-
ate themselves. there Is no doubt that
