Without considering the question OF
a civilized nations right to prevent
the continuance Of the barbarous
crimes by foreigner against foreigner,
the United States has now most eogent
reasons OF its own for calling q halt to
the inhuman march of Spain.
The investigation into the u Of
death OF Dr.. Ruiz, an American citi-
zen, shows that he died from conges-
ton OF the brain, caused by a blow on
his head with some blunt instrument T;
that he had been arrested on a false
charge, and imprisoned for 3l5 hours
in a solitary cell, in direct violation of
his treaty rights. He was given no
opportunity whatever Of proving his
innocence. Spain's officials in Cuba
snap their thumbs at the treaty rights
OF the United States. They arrest our
citizens without warrant OF law, give
them no hearing, and throw them into
prison where they must perish for
lack Of food and care. Our Govern
ment should take immediate and
effective steps to restrain Spain's law
less persecution OF our citizens in
Cuba.

And seeing how the multitude had

ing and went up in the White House.
And when l was seated and had
tapped a fresh bottle OF ale, | opened
my mouth and taught my disciples,
saying:
Blessed are the poor for they shall
be poorer.
Blessed are the rich for they shall
be made richer, and shall taste OF the
good things of this world.
Blessed are those who expect moth
ing for they shall not be disappointed.
Blessed is the campaign liar, for he
is my main dependence.
Blessed are the weak. for they shall
be kicked off the face Of the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger, for
they shall have plenty of company.
Blessed are ye when men revile
you and ~persecute you for my sake,
for you shall eat official pie at my
hands.
Blessed is the man that shall bring
me another bottle of ale, for this one is
all gone.
Blessed is the man who contributed
to the campaign fund, for he shall re-
ceive an hundred fold more than he
gave.
Blessed are the politicians, for we
are in the same boat.
Blessed is the thief, for he shall
have abundant opportunities to steal.
Blessed is the lobbyist, for he shall
have the fat Of the land.
Blessed is the banker, for his is the
kingdom of earth.
Ye are the salt of the earth; there
fore salt down everything in sight.
Ye are the light OF the earth, for you
carry torchlights in every procession.
Let your torchlights SO shine before
men that they can see the eagle on
your hat and glorify me, who art

Take heed that you provide soup
houses for the poor, for a hungry man
is liable to blow you up with dynamite.
