wrong in principle, and is ac-
tuated by the same spirit as
capitalism. Grant all these
propositions. Labor is not faced
by theory, but by conditions.
Labor creates all wealth. Under
unjust conditions that, creation
is taken from it's creator and
accumulated by capital. The
lines are so closely drawn now
that it is simply a short step
from the accumulation of the
products of labor to the enslave-
ment Of the laborer. The tax

will soon end in the slavery of
the creator. It is no longer a

No man can feel for the com
mon people who has not been
among them, lived with them
and suffered their woes. The.
most perfect type Of American
manhood, an individual who
lives as one Of the immortals Of
history, is Abraham Lincoln.
He was sneered atas a common
clod-hopper by the plutocratic
leaders Of the nation. He was
gaunt, ungainly and knew not
how to preside at a fashionable
banquet. He was one of the
proletariat common Illinois
lawyer, whose clothes did not
fit him, yet because he was one
Of the common people, with
their cause at heart, he reached
the highest place ever touched
in our national life. It is not
mere sentimental SIN, i is a fact
in history that only those who
come from the common people
become cendant. The pow
er to govern is with these every
day citizens, and if other. heroes
Of the Lincoln type do not arise
it is the fault Of the commoners,

4 SPN'S SUICIDE.

Ihere seems no possible doubt of the
| guilt of George Downing alias Rawlings.
the man arrested last Sunday upon the
! charge of being spy in the service of
Spain. and who hanged himself at the
Washington barracks Thursday. Down
ing had been in our navy. and was dis
charged with "nOn-recommendation
endorsement on his papers. While in the
service he was very inquisitive and his
conduct was such as to be recalled later
with suspicion, and upon being discharged
he made threats Of getting even. Suisse
quently he sought to get the endorse
ment on his papers removed, but this was
refused.
He arrived in Washington Saturday
night, and his arrest was based on care
ful inquiry by secret-service officials. who
had been shadowing him for some time
1t was learned that about a week before
he was taken into custody ne told his
landlady that he was going on a visit
TO Virginia, but went instead direct 10
Canada, where. it is said. he had a con-
ference with agents OF the Spanish Gov
'iiiHiNi'' ~ iHt''' IL II supposed, he
gave general information regarding our
navy and plans of the United States
cruiser Brooklyn, upon which vessel he
had served as chief yeoman.
Soon after his return from Canada
Downing was seen TO mail letter ad-
dressed 10 Montreal, which being inter-
cepted, was found to contain damaging
evidence against him. 1t was signed with
the initials G.. D., but there was no doubt
about its authorship, and in it was the
promise Of valuable information in the
future, such as evidence regarding the
trial of the submarineboat Holland 4
search of DOwning's room ~ his board
ing-house also resulted in important dis
coyeries. There was found, among other
things a satchel containing cipher code
and many envelopes addressed TO the
same name in Montreal 10 which the in
tercepted letter was addressed. The Mon
treal addressee is supposed by the secret
service agents TO have acted as the rep
resentative of Lieutenant Carranzas,
Span's principal in the transaction with
Downing. The suicide was an English
man by birth, and in speaking to an Off
Ger Wednesday touching the charges
against him said that there was little
chance of his acquittal. as he had no
friends or relatives in this country.

BIG NAVAL Hattie EXPECTED.

a change i'm our governments plans
with reference 10 the invasion OF Cuba
has been made on account Of the appear
ance of the enemy's Cape Verde feet at
Fort de France. Martinique. \ sail of
400 miles will bring the Spaniards to San
Juan. Porto Rico. where Commodore
Sampson has boen engaged in batterlng
down Che forthcations of that place.
But whether the Spanish vessels are
headed for San Juan or Habana is not
known. In either event, it would be
unwise for us to attempt 10 land an army
in Cuba.
When the programme was adopted look
ing TO the sending of two or three
Of our army corps to Cuba, 1t was be-
lievcd that the fleet just reported at
Martinique was at Cadiz Now that that
feet appears to be upon this side of the
Atlantic. We think we venture nothing
I'm saying the descent Of our forces upon
Habana will he postponed until it is dis
posed of-until it is chased away or de-
stroyed.
Not only Is a Spanish fleet said TO be
within twenty-four hours sail of Samp-
sons ships. bat Spanish cruisers and tor
pedo-boats are reported to have been
seen off Nantucket, and i'm the track of
the Ocean-lineTs. This information comes
from the captain Of a British merchant
man. 1t must have made great i'm
preston upon our War Department, for
night before last the harbor of New York
was locked tightly against all outgoing
links in the chain of torpedo defences
were hastily supplied.
The American public Is now on the tip
toe Of expectation with reference to a
meeting between Simpsons feet and the
Cape Verde fleet. and as to whether
there really are Spanish cruisers in the
North Atlantic. Meanwhile. our flying
squadron has sailed fIom Hampton
Roads. 1t is supposed to be en- route for
the vicinity OF Habana, to strengthen our
fleet there and TO block the Spaniards'
game should they leave San Juan to their
right and make for the Cuban capital I'm
portant, If not sensational, news may be
expected at any moment. The Spaniards
were able TO throw us of the track with
respect To the movements of their Cape
Verde fleet, and now our government is
very anxious, indeed to warn Commo-
dore Sampson of the enemy's where
abouts; but we do not doubt that that
jolly old tar Is on the lookout for all
Corners and we do not believe he viii
allow himself to be taken by surprise.
Nor. on the other hand, do we think that
the Spanish fleet can reach Habana
ahead of our flying squadron.
