The story of 81 Cnntnin.

IF I hadn't seen it with my own
eyes" said the old forty-niner, according
to the Detroit Free Prass, Il wouldn't
be a tellin it. In our camp we had got
kinder civerlized and unless a fellow was
strung up immediate fur liftin dust what
didn't belong ter him. or ridin' off with a
boss not havin' title ter tn same, we
locked him up and held him fur a fair
trial. We had Ter officers an guards,
an the convicts had ter work gettin' in
wood an cleanin' up round camp
zone hne-lookin' Teller came in there
with his wife, an she war finer Iookin'
nor he was. l never knowed yet whether
he done it or not but it war charged that
he was caught crawlin' out from a tent
with his pardner's swag. We caught him
an put him inter tn worSin' gang till the
gran jury could set on him. He had a
mighty fine boss that a lot OF us wanted
ter buy, but his wife wouldn't sell. an
took care of him as good as a man could
do.
ION Saturday night that Teller broke
guard. While we was chasin' round a
Chinerman noterfied us as how tn man
was at home with his wife. They must
have heerd us comm, fur there was a

The Cuba Middle.

II is alleged by certain senator's in con-
gress that advices have been received
from Consul General Lee TO the effect
that the Cuban insurgents are not decreas-
ing in numbers, but, on the other hand,
are more numerous now than they were
when he was sent to the island; that they
have as good a chance for success as they
ever had, and are no better organized
than they are for the reason that it does
not suit their plans to adopt what may
be termed modern warfare. And for this
reason, say these senators, the govern
ment of the United States should recognize
their belhgerency.
On the other hand there are other
senators, formerly rampant jingoes, but
now as tame and harmless as sucking
doves, who dispute the proposition. This
element is under the leadership of Sen
ator Davis, now chairman of the foreign
relations committee. Hold on; let's in
quire into this thing before we take ac-
ton" say these ex-iingoes, there has
been a change. When we we're ready for
blood and war both Gomez and Maceo
had big armies and were marching up
and down the island at viii. Now Maceo
is dead and his army dispersed, and Co
mez is at the head of only a small band.
We still favor Cuba; but there has been
a change"
The fact probably is that there has been
more of a change in Washington than in
Cuba, and that it is the change in Wash
ington which has brought about the trans
formation in the republican jingoes. So
long as Cleveland was President, and they
had no responsibility, the republicans felt
at liberty to paw the earth and below
about Cuban liberty and war with Spain
Their purpose was not so much to help
Cuba as to annoy Cleveland. Now, how
ever, the responsibility is shifted. And
the republicans are abe to see "a change
in Cuba" Responsibility is a most re-
markable sedative

It is now openly charged that the sugar
schedule Of the Senate tariff bill was
known to several persons outside the COM
mlttee al least two days before the bill
was made public. A New York paper says
a broker named white. who successfully
negotiated with the aid OF Russell Sage
the purchase Of a million dollars worth Of
the last Issue of government bonds on a
total investment Of IS cents for postage
could probably throw considerable light
on the dealings OF the senator's In Wall
street and that he personally prohted by
the advance information on the sugar
schedule. IL appears that the august
senators have not been shrewd enough to
avoid another sugar scandal. and in the
face Of Il all there is talk Of pardoning
those who refused to testify at the inves-
tigation Of three years ago.
