He KEEPS His Cabin And There Is No
Demonstration.
He Took Home With Him 900 Dis
ablei Soldiers And Let No
Others Aboard.

New York, Nov. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Corruna, Spain,
says:
Your correspondent has just return
ed from on board the Monserrat which
anchored in this port with Gen. Weyler.
The new quay was crowded with an
immense multitude, but the crowd was
perfectly undemonstrative. 1t may be
said that Gen. Weyler's reception so
far as showing the feeling of the
Spanish people for him, was a COM
plete fiasco.
He did not appear on deck, but he
remained locked in his cabin, refusing
absolutely to see anybody except the
government authorities, but he made
short speech in reply to commits
sion.
His remarks were perfectly compli-
mentary and devoid Of political signi-
ficance.
The Marquis De Ahumada stated
that they had fair voyage, but refus-
ed all other information.
An influential passenger on board
said that a pump broke and necessita-
ted putting in at Gibrara, but he fiat
Iy denies the reported demonstration
there in weyler's favor, saying that he
saw nothing of it and saying that he
disbelieves that the same honors were
paid to Gen. Weyler as though he were
still captain general OF Cuba. Weyler
went ashore at Porto Rico, but no
demonstration was made there. Gen.
weyler, he said, after he left Havana
reserved the right to allow or refuse
passage Sentries were posted at all
parts of the ship night and day and
only those authorized by Gen. Weyler
could pass on board. 1t is said the
Marquis de Comllas, who is head of
the Spanish transatlantic company,
practically gave the boat to Gen. Wey-
Ter for the present journey, although
the general only pays three firstclass
fares. In consequence he scarcely al
lowed anyone but the militia to take
passage, and many civilians were re-
fused permission to make the voyage.
The Monserrat goes from here direct
to Barcelona, so the passengers and
cargo for Santander or Cadiz, must go
overland. This arrangements co-incid-
es with Gen. Weyler's wishes, since he
is anxious to land at Barcelona because
his family is there, and it is thought
that he will not come ashore.
Several committees of sympathizers
were on board steam launches with
bands and fireworks, but owing to

FIRE RAGING.

London, Nov. 19.-The most serious
fire in several years is now raging here.
In several streets adjacent to the gen.
eral postoffice here blocks of buildings
are ablaze on both sides of the streets,
have collapsed and fifteen warehouses
are already destroyed. The buildings
are ablaze on both sides of the STREETS,
thus preventing the firemen from
reaching the burning structures. Fire

What The People Are Saying

What The People Are Saying.
A recent Geographic account of a riot
in an Arkansas public school caused
by the lgnominious whipping of a IL
year old lad, should attract national at
tention. The school marin, a Miss
Jones, thrashed the boy for some in
fraction of the rules. The boy took
the punishment, but a deep revenge
for the disgrace took possession of his
being. and at recess set fire to the
premises.
The brutal punishment had made a
fiend of the boy. 1t aroused the very
devil of his nature, and he was ready
to take his own life rather than live
with the stripes on his back.
Then the male whipper of the school
undertook to whip young Alley. This
was a horse of a different color; he
didn't wear petticoats; the boys chiv-
alric nature no longer restrained him.
He beat the professors face into
jelly - Splendid. The young Am
erlcan was not Helot.
The boys father came to the rescue
and a free fight occurred. 1t seems
that in Arkansas there are fathers
who will not stand by and see their
children assaulted.
The results of this brutal whipping
is summed up, that the boys father is
in Jail. the boy expelled from the school
and the so-called professor" is laid
up and in a dangerous condition.
1t took the fortitude of an merican
sailor. who had been whipped on board
of a man of war to sever his right
hand rather than again serve a gov
eminent that tolerated the whipping
of its sailors. Congress abolished
whippings in the navy
The brutal practice of whipping chilA
dren in our schools must be stopped.
1 would rather witness the burning Of
every school house in the land than the
whipping in the navy.
The whipping business makes liars
and thieves and criminals, if it does

Gen. Weyler refusing to show himself
their proceedings lacked Importance.
The Monserrat brings 600 troops all
sick, and will proceed to Barcelona at
once.
Don Fernando, Gen. Weyler's son,
who came here to meet his father, was
treated to a serenade by a group of
serenaders, who assembled outside the
Hotel d'Europe, where he is staying.
At the conclusion of the serenade a
body of people, 1,500 strong, paraded
the street crying "vive Weyler," and
hooting at La Vose de Galicia, the Lib
eral newspaper which has been speak
ing strongly against demonstrations in
weyler's honor. The mob tried to get
at the offices of the newspapers, but
were prevented by a Gordon of police.
No violence was done. Elaborate
preparations are being made by Wey-
ler's adherents to give him an enthusi-
astic welcome.

anything. 1t comes of inefficiency
and incompetency of teachers.
The idea of a young school marin
whipping II year old lad, or great
over grown school master collaring and
beating child of tender years!
1t is only a relic of barbarism, blot
upon our educational methods.
The idea that the authority of a
school teacher Is above the laws of
the land; assault upon a child is pun
ishable under the law. A parent has
no right to commit an aggravated as
sault and battery upon his helpless
child.
If our public schools cannot be sup
piled with humane, able teachers who
understand how to govern without the
use of the lash, then let them be closed
up, because they only boone the grad
uating centers of criminals and cow
ards.
The boys Of today are the men of to-
morrow; the girls of today are the wo-
men of tomorrow. They know the
faults and shortcomings of their ell
ders; they see through the hypocracy;
the false character, the inefficiency OF
those placed over them as teachers, or
they recognize nobility of nature, true
manhood, true womanhood, true mas
tiers. The lash is an abomination,
a disgrace, a shame.

What the People Are Saying.

Everybody is sympathizing with
Maj. n. H. Henderson; he attempted
to convince the Express that any ef-
fort to restore the old wool market of
San Antonio would cause a riot in the
west, and the Express makes fun of
the major.
Major Henderson is a great believer
in the Express and the sarcasm used
in the editorial columns to crush the
major will be one of the hardest
blows" of the season.
WE'LL after all, the major has secured
considerable advertisement, and as a
rowing wool buyer he will be regarded
with love and affection by all the little
cities between here and the Rio
Bravo.
The argument, or rather contention,
of Major Henderson is that San An
tonic dare not attempt to establish a
wool market, because it would take the
wool business away from the small
towns west Of u.s.
tonic and are enabled to do so because
of their wool business.
According to the major it is crime
to build up large commercial centre;
it is wrong to have cotton, wool and
grain exchanges.
In fact, according to the major, it is
a sin for any one to buy wool unless
they do it right off the Sleeps back.
But it is all right for the major to
buy wool and ship it to Boston and
have it stored there until it brings
him a top price.
The sheep grower has no business to
monkey with wool markets, according
to the majors idea he must monkey
only with the major and his fellow
travelling buyers.
The restoring of a wool market at
this place would be of great advantage
to our western towns; they would have
a top market at home, at their doors.
Possibly they might miss the genial
presence of the major once or twice a
year, but they would not miss dollar
of their trade.
If cotton has to be brought to the
compress why not bring wool to the
securing mill.
The revival of our wool growing in
dustry will make our city an impor-
tant market. Our banking ability;
our storage capacity, favors such a
market.
Our western towns have grown up
in spite of the fact that the wool bus
ness was killed years ago by DEM
ocratic free trade legislation.
Our wool growers are shrewd, intelli-
gent, we'll posted men, and take ad-
vantage of every facility to get the
best price for their product.
They need no advice from the wool
buyers. If San Antonio can AFFORD
them advantages as a wool market
they will come here, and not other
wise.
There is no intention on the part of
our business men to move the sheep
growers and their ranches. They will
remain in the vicinity of our frontier
cities, and continue to buy their mer-
chandise of their local merchants,
whether they sell to Maj. Henderson or
to some gentleman from Philadelphia
or direct to some firm in Yankeeland.
1t is the ability to sell our products
at good figure that brings prosperity
to the whole land. Greater New York
shares with Del Rio and Kerrville and
Comstock and Wilsonville alias San
dreson in the revival of our home in
dustries.

sHoUP. MANTLE. AND CANNON

The interests of the West are being
carefully attended to in Congress by
Senators Shoup, who is addressing him
self particularly to protection for lead;
Mantle of Montana, who is looking
after wool and recently delivered an
able speech in behalf of that industry;
and Cannon of Utah, who seems to be
heartily CO. cooperating with Shoup and
Mantle. These gentlemen combined
no doubt hold the key to the situation
and are able to control the event. 1t is
gratifying to note that Senators Mantle
and Cannon have risen above the anti
election cry of free silver or nothing,
and propose to stand by protection un-
til times are more promising for urging
silver. In this course they will be 10y.
ally supported by a majority of their
constituents, and this display of broad
er craftsmanship will forever redOuned
to their credit. After the country is
given sound protective tariff, and it is
settled fact that silver Republicans
propose to stand by it, the result of a
campaign with silver as the sole issue
might be very different from the result
when vote for silver meant abandon
ment of protection. The Republican
party will do we'll to keep the thought
in mind that no silver campaign has
yet been waged on a Republican plat
form, and do well to also consider that
Democracy is now cut loose from all
its ancient moorings; and, as it stole
Populist principles last July, may ap-
propriate Republican doctrines year
and half hence. 1t is not at all GER
tain that any great proportion of the
Bryan Democrats are antagonistic to
fair protective tariff Indeed there
plenty Of reason to believe that they
are nearly ready to combine protection
and free silver. Should that be done,
it would probably result in a combina-
ton of all the bimetallic forces against
the gold standard, and the probabilities
are that such combination would
carry nine tenths of the States. Sena-
tors Mantle and Cannon do well to put
themselves squarely on record for pro
lection. Senator Shoup has already done
so and now these three Western Sena-
tors, respecting the great issues, stand
upon the same platform.

THE COMING INDUSTRY.

The farmers want to begin thinking
and studying about sugar beets' Never
before was such general interest in,
and discussion of, this question. 1t is
settled beyond doubt that sugar beets
can be proftably raised in the greater
part OF Idaho. But it requires know
ledge of beet culture to insure success.
There are sugar beets and sugar beets
and the character of the beets depends
almost entirely upon the culture. Two
men side by side may cultivate beets
and one will produce an article yielding
II or IS per cent. sugar while the other
will produce beets with or per cent.
of sugar. The one will make money
and live on the fat of the land while
the other will make mortgages and live
on anarchy and discomfort. Every
farmer should earnestly take up the
study of sugar beets and learn all that
can be learned of it by next spring,
and then he should devote an acre or so
to experimentation. There is no risk;
the beets make excellent stock feed and
and would pay expenses of raising for
that purpose. If next spring it be
well demonstrated that the farmers
here have learned how to produce a
good sugar beet, before the following
season is over sugar factories will be
erected and a new and mighty industry
will have been established. The net
profit, after paying land rental, wages.
taxes and everything else is from So
to S12 per acre of beets. Where else
can such returns be found? Farmers,
go to thinking, and thinking hard, about
sugar beets. 1t is the coming industry
and the beauty of it is it can not be
overdone in your time.

THE DUTY OF SILVER MEN

We advise all good silver men to read
the following article reproduced from
that giant of silver apostles, the Salt
Lake Tribune. And while they are
reading it, we want them to consider
how trifing was the real difference last
fall between the Republicans and sill
yer Republicans. Take note of this
passage in the Tribune's article: "The
Tribune. though Republican in senti-
ment, supported Mr.. Bryan ON the sill
yer issue alone, trusting that If he
could be elected Congress o0ouZd pre-
cent some Of the CGgGrieS Of his plat
form from c1yStalLizjng into laa0S."
The italics are ours. There were a
good many Republicans who did not
feel that it would be safe to repose any
such trust in Congress elected upon
the Bryan platform, and there were a
good many Republicans who had less
faith in Mr.. Bryan himself than any
Congress it would be possible to
elect. And the result of it was
that bimetailism and the vagaries
of the Chicago platform were
pitted against each other, and the
men who were trustful of Democracy
abandoning its vagaries went with
Bryan and those who trusted that the
Republicans would carry out their plat
form to the letter, went with Mckinley.
But read the Salt Lake Tribune's able
rticle:
ave beg to say to the Tintic Miner,
that in our judgment any newspaper
published i'll the silver producing re-
giOn that will not give its influence to
any Administration that is trying to
restore silver, is unjust to its readers, |
and, down deep, is far more anxious |
for the success of the party to which it |
belongs, than for the rehabilitation of |
silver. 1t was believed by the most |
eminent silver advocates in this |
country, that during Mr.. Cleveland's |
administration he, himself, was the !
chief lion blockading the path that leads |
up to silver restoration. But singu- |
lar enough, now that his successor is |
trying to come to a conclusion with |
foreign powers, these same men and |
the press behind them, not only keep |
up a senseleSs TRADE that it is no use,
but impugn the motives of those who |
have a generous word for the efforts
being mazda, In this respect the so
called silver press of the West is in
perfect accord with the extreme gold
press of the East, which it seems to us
is neither sensible nor fair. The Trib-
une, though Republican in sentiment,
supported Mr.. Bryan on the silver issue
alone, trusting that if he could be elect
ed Congress would prevent SONS of the
of his platform from crystal
