The record-union., 1897-11-08

Since then there have been daily sto-
rles OF death and suffering among these
innocent and unhappy people. A re-
cent dispatch has been given to the
press stating that General Blanco, i'm
mediately on his arrival issued a pro-
clamation permitting these miserable
people to return to their farms under
certain prudent restrictions This in
itself is confession of the brutality of
Weyier's order. Just what the re-
strictions are, we have not been ad-
vised.
But 1t Is reasonable to suppose. that
as their stock has been driven off or
has starved TO death; as their dwell
lngs have been destroyed, and as the
poor creatures are now weak from sick
ness and starvation they are not in a
condition to return to the cultivation of
their land holdings.
1t is SO pitiable a case that if half is
true that is related by the Worlds
correspondent it demands intervention
by friendly Powers on the sole ground
OF humanity; such Intervention as will
enable these suffering people to be
nourlshed by good food in plenty, and
sheltered until strong enough to re-
turn to work. America would respond
with shiploads of provisions for these
poor wretches. Would Spain forbid the
extension of such common charity?

A MOST PITIFUL STORY.

A dispatch to the New York
World" from it's special reporter in
Cuba, and which was published yester-
| day in several papers, is of the most
startling character; indeed the recita-
tons Of the dispatch cause the reader
to shudder with horror. The state
ments in the main are that the suffer-
ing among the non -combatants in Cuba.
whom Weyler drove from their farms.
lease holdings and plantations into the
most dreadful character.
The correspondent wires his paper
that he siekens at the sights witnessed
in the last four days--filthy skeletons
children driven into small towns by
Spanish soldiers in accordance with
General Weyler's inhuman policy of
Concentration" to starve, helpless de-
pendents of Cuban insurgents whom
Spain's 100000 soldiers cannot kill.
Within a few hours travel of the pal
ace at Havana these helpless women
and children and non n-combatants are
daily perishing by hundreds from star
walton. and the suffering is awful. 1t
is worse than Indfa's bubonic plague.
The poor victims show the same awful
emaoiation, suffer the same pangs and
die by the hundreds under the eyes of
the soldiers. l have seen mothers. too
weak to stand, trying to force non-ex-
istent milk from their breasts for other
tiny skeletons among the dying ones
after their own young had perished
Well-informed Cubans claim that 40
per cent Of the peaceable inhabitants
have already starved to death. Deaths
from starvation alone have been nearly
thousand day during this rainy sea-
son.
Whether these figures are accurate
or not, 1t is plain to any one that the
whole rural population would be COM
pleteiy exterminated in a few months
if the Spanish policy were not changed
That was General Weyler's plan-.'to
exte1ninate the breed.
We know that there Is this much of
foundation for this dramatic and most
pitfful tale. First that last April Wey-
Ter did order the cultivators of the soil.
the small holders and workers from
their fields into the towns. on the plea
that by culdvating the land these non
combatants gave succor to the insur-
gents. who would seize the produce as
1t ripened. even If the non-combatants
did not give it up willingly. Secondly,
that General Weyler made no provis-
ion whatever for the support of these
unhappy men, women and children.
driven from their homes to starve In
the towns. Third. that in the ref
uges.'' so-cailed, there was no house
room for these people, and that they
have been living in holes in the ground
in miserable makestiifts for shelter, in
barns and mere lean-tos."

MICROBES IN INK.
Germs Find an Abiding Place Even
in That Fluid

Microbes everywhere: not only in
drinking water is bacteria to be found
but the alarm has been sounded con
cerning an entirely new source OF dan
ger. for they are said TO exist in ink.
But as most inks are made from nut
gals and tincture of iron, the latter Of
of which is antiseptic, the danger is not
really alarming.
Several of the yeasts are said TO fur
nish quite distinct races or varieties of
micro5e or bacteria in breweries in diff
ferelt parts of the world.
Physicians declare that all microbes
are not bad or dangerous and that their
Wholesale determination could only re-
suit IN evil for mankind, in much the
same manner as the wholesale slaugh-
ter of insect life by birds has been
found detrimental TO fruit and other
crops
At the meeting of savants in Toron-
TO recently ii was claimed that lit is
the light in the solar rays, and not the
high temperature, which gives to those
rays their well known power TO limit
the life of the bacteria in our streets
and rivers and makes the sun our most
powerful seavenger. Hence so far from
bacteria being synonymous with dis
ease germs, the majority of these or
ganisms appear to be beneficial instead

to provide them alone, though those

Of maintaining schools and courts, hos.

Acquainted With a Cure.

There was a merry crowd IN the
gilded restaurant where they serve a
table d'hote dinner with wine for ou
cents, or 40 cents without. One of the
gay revelers, a Bohemian from Kan
sas City, was pouring out another glass
of red ink for himself and his blonde
haired vis-a-vis, when the inevitable
good man who visits such places TO
study the depraved side of metropolitan
life, approached and touched him on
the shoulder.

THE STRESS OF THE wHALERs.

A number of the whaling fleet, car
rying more than 800 men, are impris-
oned IN the fee in Arctic waters on the
American side. An appeal has been
forwarded to the President and the
Secretary of the Navy to send at heavy
Government cost and Immediately q
properly equipped expedition to the res
cue of these men.
For the fear is entertained that un-
less speedily rescued the ships will be
crushed in the ice. and that the mer
Will die of cold and starvation or by
drowning. OF course in this case the
relief in some form, from some source
should be given no matter what the
cost 1t is a call of humanity tc
which the deaf ear cannot be turned
But this ice locking occurs too often
Whalers too frequently become objects
of pity by such mischance, to style il
mildly. They ought to know and dc
know when to clear from the Arctic
They should not be encouraged to re.
main to the last second of time, an6
then chance it" with the weather
No doubt the belief that if caught II
the pack of ice the Government, or hu.
manity represented in commercial cir
cles, will come to their relief, has 6
tendency to make these whalers ven
turesome beyond the limits of reason
able caution. 1t should be given oui
hereafter, that Whalers must leave the
Arctic by a given date, and that they
must put the margin of chance on tht
side of clear sea, and that unless
they do so they will not in the future
receive the measure of human sympa-
thy now accorded because of their dire
distress.
1t might we'll be the subject of inter
national agreement, that whaling ships
on the high seas in the Arctic regions
must leave those waters by a certain
date under threat of seizure, arrest anc
punishment. Whaling promoters shoulC
not be permitted to take such chances
as place the lives of the men under
them in great peril by reason Of the
closing of Arctic waters.

THE PRESTON SCHOOL SCANDAL

The Record Union published very
fully several reports of alleged cruelties
and acknowledgement at lone many
weeks ago. 1t was the first interior
paper, indeed, TO do so. At that time
it also editoriaily pointed out that these
troubles at State institutions are the
logical result of displacing tried COM
potency IN administration, and the
placement of the reform schools and
other State asylunls under political
management.
Since then the charges have become
SO explicit. where before lacking in
definiteness, that this journal felt that
the time had come when an investiga-
tfon was absolutely necessary. To that
end it called, on Friday last, for official
inquiry in the open, and investigation
by other than the Board of Trustees of
the Preston School.
Information is now at hand that the
Senatorial Committee of Investigation,
which is a hold over body, has organ
ized for the purpose of prosecuting pre-
cisely such investigation as is needed.
Unhappily the time fixed for entering
upon this work has been put off until
the last of the present month. This is
error. The time to prosecute such in
quiry as is demanded is the present,
when the iron is hot: when the wit
nesses are easily found before it is
likely that they can be tampered with;
when the facts are fresh in memory of
all concerned.
In another column will be found a
dispatch from Nevada City in which is
a letter from Trustee Preston of the
lone School, IN reply to letter from
Trustee Tyrrell of Sacramento, asking
that an investigation of the lone scan
dals be prosecuted in public.
Trustee Preston objects to a public
investigation on the ground of the
heavy cost which will cripple the
schools fund, because the Board of
Trustees is competent TO correct any
abuses, and can conduct any inquiry
in its ewn way; but mainly because a
public investigation, in his opinion,
Will SO demoralize the school that it
will require a regiment of sentinels to
surround it to keep the boys from es-
| Gaping.
But. adds the Trustee to his coll
league, with marked significance, if a
public investigation is ordered by his
board he WIFI go into it on the distinct
| understanding that it shall reach back
into every corner of the administration
of the school, and into the political
change made in its control, the causes
therefor, by whom discharges and ap-
pointments have been dictated, and
that it shall, in short, go to the' polit-
ical, social and school bottom of the
whole business. since the Trustee indi-
! Gates that his belief is that all the
trouble, or most of it, grows out of po-
litical intermeddling and outside inter-
ference with the administration of the
school.
