AN ENGLISH VIEW OF CUBA.

Of late there has been notable
tendency in the English press to be
somewhat captious in its comments
ON American affairs, especially in re-
gard to the attitude of the American
people. The one notable exception
has been the National Review, and the
exception is the more noteworthy be-
cause of the reputed connection be-
tween that conservative political
monthly and the principal members OF
the present Conservative government.
In the November number it criticises
this attitude of the English press, and
particularly the failure to appreciate
the very natural desire of the Amer
lean people to rescue what remains
of Cuba from perdition." The British,
it suggests, chad similar desire to
rescue Armenia, which was baffied by
the European concert. American
wishes, on the other hand. are baff1ed
by the imperviousness Of the federal
administration, Influenced, rumor adds.
by the nervousness of the Navy De-
partment and the fears of the Treas
ury." The indignation of the American
people, 1t thinks, is more Ineligible
and creditable than the Indifference
of the administration which is be-
lieved to be firmly welded to a policy
of mastery inactivity. British news
papers, it holds, have mo excuse for
misunderstanding the righteous wrath
of our American cousins
The National Review thinks that
Sagasta's autonomy craze has
"about as much practical application
to the Cuban problem as it has to the
course of the stars" and is convinced
that Spain cannot conquer Cuba, nor
can even hold her own there, in spite
of her vast army of 100000 men.
Consequently she is mo longer in
position to offer home rude, for her
sovereignty has practically passed
away from her." The soundness of
this Judgment will, we believe, be dem
onstrated before many months, it may
be only weeks, have passed. The end
is rapidly approaching.

SMOKED OUT.

We have finally smoked out into the
cpen the City Hall editor of the Incl
hgencer. AS he disclaims being the
writing editor we will have to designate
him the City Hall managing editor Of
the Intellgencer. He is City Collector
James X. Hall.
Editor Hall published card in his
paper Saturday over his signature in
of writing the editorial in question that
appeared in the City Hall ring organ on
the subject of the refunding ordinance,
and which in substance had appeared
the day before in the evening organ Of
the refunding schemers. He admits
furnishing the figures for it, but says
he did not write it.
But will Mr.. Hall-beg pardon, Edi-
tor Hall-deny that he took this In
telligencer editorial, before it was
finally placed in the forms of that faith
full organ, and read it to a gathering
of the City Hall leaders, who are en-
cheering the refunding scheme, for
their decision and approval? We do
not mean to say that there was any
thing at all improper in this from Edi-
tor Halls standpoint; no. indeed. As
engineer of job like this refunding
business and journalistic spokesman for
the jobbers in general, it was Editor
Halls duty to act in good faith and
submit his efforts to the other mem
bers of the close little City Hall corpo-
ration.
But Editor Hall says he is entirely
disinterested, that there is nothing in it
for him. In fact he declares he will
make more out of it if the ordinance
is defeated, because, then, he says,
taxes will have to be raised and he will
get his neat little rake-off. We quote
Editor Hall on this point:
AS far as the refunding ordinance is con-
interests if l were to consult my personal
interests. would probably do as some of
the stockholders of the Register are doing,
ask my friends as a personal favor to vote
against the ordnance, hoping by It's de-

THE OHIO RETURNS.

To the Editor Of the Register. u.
Would it be too much trouble Tor you g
publish again the official returns OF the
Ohio election and contrast them with the
vote of 1886? / think you will find some
things that are worthy OF S c1m WSpTrr
Cameron, November 90
AS our correspondent says, the OFF,
cial vote in Ohio. when compared with
the vote of 1896, shows some curious
results. The legislative vote shows a
popular Dmocratic majority and is an
evidence of how the State felt towards
Boss Hanna.
Bushnell's plurality is 2S,101 against
the plurality of Mckinley last year OF
51,109. The loss is 23,008, or As per
cent
The Republican vote fell off 96.175
and the Democratic vote 76,167. This
was a Republican shrinkage OF over
Is per cent. and Democratic shrink
age of less than 16 per cent.
All the smaller parties made gains
on last years vote except the Gold
Democrats. Their vote fell from L.
S5S to 1861 in the present month,
shrinkage of 16 per cent. Last year
the Gold Democrats were next to the
bottom of the list, the Socialist Labor
vote being nearly 700 votes below that
of the Gold Democrats. This year
only the Negro Protective vote IS
less, all the others being largely ahead
of the Gold Democrats. The Socialist
Labor vote jumped from 1,165 to A.
242, a gain of 265 per cent; the Peo-
pies party from 2,615 to 6,254, a gain
of 139 per cent; the Prohibition vote
from 5,068 to 1858, a gain of 40 per
cent; the Liberty Prohibitionists from
2,716 to 3,107, gain of IA per cent.
The Negro Protectives polled AT

what there is in it. In this he is
quite as immaculate as the rest of the
folks up at the City Hall. These gen
tlemen are all Tin it, for the benefit
OF the people and Of the city and incl
dentally for their health.
But we wish to call attention to an
other point that Editor Hall touches
upon. He says if he would consult his
personal interests he would probably
do as some of the stockholders of the
Register are doing, ask my friends as
personal favor to vote against the ordi-
nance"
OF course, Editor Hall is qualified to
make an assertion on this point-he
has made so many of them. Now if
these stockholders of the Register" are
going about working against the re-
funding ordinance on account of the
city bonds Editor Hall alleges they
OWE, they must be accompanied on
their rounds by the manager of the
Intelligencer and his banking associ-
ates who own a very large amount of
these bonds.
But Editor Hall need not be afraid
that his disinterested patriotism in
working for the refunding ordinance
might stand in the way of the enlarge
ment of his bank account. The boys
up at the City Hall say they want the
money the refunding ordinance will
give them, by stopping payment on the
principle of our city debt for ten years,
for improvements. This, however, is
one of the little pleasantries to which
the boys are addicted and in common
parlance is given currency to Jolly"
the people. The fact remains that if
any improvements of note are to be
made in the next few years, refunding
ordinace or no refunding ordinance,
taxes will have to be increased and,
therefore, Editor Hall will get his little
rake-off just the same. This disinter-
ested journalist is in a position to
"ketch 'em a-'gwine an a-comin'"
He is much better fixed than the rest
of the boys whose mutton will be in tle
soup if the refunding scheme does not
go through-which it certainly will
not.

SINCE WHENo

The records and the figures are just as
open to the Register as they are 70 the
Intellgencer, or any private clt1zen.-lntel-
Ngencer.
Since when? In December, 1895, the
representative of the Register was re-
fused, at the office of the City Clerk
of the city of Wheeling, as innocent and
commonplace document as the an
nual report of the fines and fees re-
turned by the City Sergeant of the City
of WheeEng-a public document, which
"any private citizen" had right to see.
In the same month of the same year
the representative Of the Register was
refused a copy of the monthly state
ment of the City Clerk to Council, a
document, entirely public in its nature,
and which "any citizen" had a right to
see. And for more than year there
after the representative of the Register
refused any and all figures at the
office of the City Clerk of the City of
Wheeling. These documents the
Register had to obtain through
other sources. The fact is no
torious, and has often been referred to
in these columns, and commented upon
by the public, and has never been de-
MED, because it cannot be truthfully
denied. And the Intelligencer knows
the fact as well as other people.
Later on, under the administration of
the present City Clerk, this policy was
changed,-but it was changed because
of the character of the present City
Clerk, and not because of any change
of heart or of method on the part of
the powers that be at the City Hall.
Will the Intelligencer, which has
raised this question anew, explain to its
readers why it was that the represen-
tative of this paper, for more than
year, was debarred from the privileges
common to every taxpayer, and justify
the refusal of access to the two papers
mere routine reports-here specifically
referred to? Can it be possible that
something shady was going on even Ut
that early date, and that the Register
was feared?

"MONEY LENDERS" AND THE RE-
FINDING .I0R

One of the organs of the refunding
schemers makes the remarkable state
ment that no one but the money
lenders" is opposing the refunding or
dinance. This organ has had enough
to do with money lenders to know their
ways better than to believe any such
thing Money lenders are very shrewd
and selfish people and have an eye to
the main chance in the future at all
times.
The city bonds which it is proposed
to refund bear five and six per cent. in
terest, but are being paid off so rap
idly that in a few years-say four
the interest charge will be so reduced
as to be no longer a burden on the
people. while in ten years the whole
debt will have been practically wiped
off the city's slate. On the other hand,
it is proposed by the refunding schem-
ers to take up this whole debt and re-
fund it in such way that the money
lenders" would have a safe four per
cent. investment for thirty-four years
not a bond to be touched for the next
ten years. d.
1t does not require a financial expert
to figure it out that thirty -four year
four per cent. investment is better by
a large majority than five per cent
or a six per cent. investment that is
being cut down annually and at such
a rapid rate as to leave it altogether
nil at the end of ten years.

bine would rise to the level of the

The patient is Michael j. Wright, a

supposed he contracted the disease
from the soldier Krieg, who died in

in the garrison have all been moved
out of the barracks into a camp mile
away. No other case has developed in
this city. An inspection of every house
in the city was completed last night,
