The New England holders of Cuban
investments pulled the string and Nc
Kinley responded. Would to God, man
hood and patriotism could get as ready
response. We have not believed very
much In war. We cannot make our
selves believe now that the killing Of
mankind is a good thing. The only rea-
son we have for favoring it at all Is be-
cause there is war already upon us;
war that is killing more people than a
genuine war with foreign nation would
or could. The spirit of allowing the
sheriff OF Hazelton to shoot down strik-
ers, the spirit that allows Spain to blow
up the Maine into eternity, the spirit that
allows Carnegie to get up Homestead
fights, the spirit that subverts our laws
and permits corporations to murder our
people, by reason of inadequate machin-
cry and life-saving devices, is warlika
and murderous spirit that means death
and destruction to not only American
people but the republic as we'll. The
cowardly, sneaking message sent in by
would take the matter into it's own hands
and declare war on Spain. At any rate
drive Spain out of American waters. Bet
ter this be done than to carry on our
old scheme Of numbering our own people.

SENSIBLE THOUGHT.

There is growing feeling among the
members of the Populist party that we
are nursing within our ranks brood Of
political bosses. Those fellows can be

tions, but 1t must be remembered that
the people who stay at home never sit

STRIKING THOUGHTS.

A hundred and thirty thousand peo-
pie now hold 88 per cent of the nations
Wealth-or $1,000 million dollars; and
their plunder is increasing at the rate of
nearly 5000 millions a year, while the
wealth of the whole people is gaining
less than 1000 millions. What idle
balderdash-what kindergarten nom
sense for any one to talk Of free silver
as remedy for such wrong; or any
financial legislation except such as will
appropriate some of these fabulous piles
OF treasure for the employment of the
idle, and thereby raise the wages of all
who labor. The financial policy of gov
ernment is not the paramount question:
but even if it was, any changes in cur
rency laws, while few thousand mil
lionaires own most of the country, will
be made in their interest. If the sys-
TEN is changed while they possess the
power they do, the changes will benefit
them first. Under a readjusting pro-
cess Of taxation. the changes in finan-
cial laws will come naturally. Every
bod will want them. The millionaires
will want free silver or something
equally initiating; and the employment
OF three or four million people now idle,
on public improvements, will require the
use of large amount Of currency.
Jeffersonion Democracy was a grand
creed; but the party that once made it's
record resplendent by enforcing it, has
been among the mummies of political
history for years, and the prodigal son
who wears it's toga has been feted and
duped by the Borgias, dosed by the Bour-
bons and drugged by the beasts and
money changers of Tammany till he is
too dumb to distinguish money except
by the jingle.
say of the new party and it's mantle?
The child was precocious; but his
teeth and learned to walk young. Had
ambitious nurses. Got bow-legged and
wobbled. And tripping on his mantle
fell down stairs. And the fall, and the
horsebacks of dross in the strata of re-
form, and the Kansas breezes, have
made some bad rents in his mantle of
promise; and his guardians with a
variety Of patches, have tried to conceal
even from themselves, it's true condi-
tion. They don't dare to or care to
know how badly it is torn.
Partly machinery and the alteration
or infatuation for the wormy, Shiny
labels alone prevent unification of the
sincere supporters Of Jeffersonian the
cries which are the ostensible founda-
tion of all of these party organizations
and the true foundation of all republi-
can governments.
In such an emergency as the pres
ent, and amid such a general demand
for reorganization, what should the
masses do who would as soon be called
Nazarenes as Roman, and who have
more cause, not only to suspect but TO
spurn all present party compacts than
they have to revere any of their idioms
or banners?
Should they wait for cue from Of
fice-holders who are shackled by fear
Of impairing their chances for a re-

ANXIOUS TO WED A WIDOW.
Alleged Rich New York Woman
Fooled Ohio SuitOrs.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press
Cleveland, Jan. H.-The elimination to
romance that may have been worked
up artfully by a shrewd detective who
wanted free advertising and on the other
hand may have reached it's climax legiti-
mately took place to-day when Private
Detective Jake Mintz of this city took
out a marriage license and welded Mrs
Laura Caroline Henry who is said to be
a millionaire widow of a New York finan>
cier, who, in his lifetime, was one of the
principal holders of Manhattan Railway
stock.
About threegeeks ago Mintz announced
that he had received a commission from
a wealthy New York widow to find hus-
band for her. 1t wasn't long before ap-
plcations for the place began to pour in,
and Mintz's mail assumed tremendous pro-
portions while his Office was besieged
day and evening by all sorts and condi-
tons of men, each of whom thought he
would make the ideal husband for mill
lion-dollar widow, whose only incumbrance
was a daughter. 10 years old.
On Thursday Mintz announced that the
widow would arrive on Friday morning to
pick out a bridegroom from a batch of 200
carefully selected applicants. who had re-
ceived the stamp of approval from Mr..
pear in their best clothes, and the widow
would make the final selection in person
Sure enough, the 10 a. m. train from the
East brought a dark-eyed, buxom wo-
man about IS years old, who was met by
Mintz and at once taken to the Stillman,-
one of the principal hotels of the city,
where she was installed in a fine suite of
rooms. The news of her arrival spread,
and her callers were soon numbered by the
score.
She received all applicants in the pres
ence of two female friends, who accom-
panied her from New York. She heard
their tales of love, and dismissed them
with the promise that the man she chose
for her husband would be informed on Sat
urday. Meantime Mintz had held several
private conversations with the widow and
seemed to be much smitten with her,
though he asserts that he never saw her
prior TO her arrival in this city.
This morning he obtained a marriage
license. and shortly after o'clock he and
the widow entered a cab at the hotel and
were driven toward the eastern end of
the city.
Just before the p. m. New York train
was about to pull out Of the Erie station
AIintz and the widow drove up and board
ed the train. Mintz said he and the wo-
man had been married and were going to
New York
Meantime the Stllman House had been
thronged with an angry crowd of disap
nointed suitors, who vowed vengeance up
on Mintz.
There is much doubt expressed as to the
commences of the romance" but that
the scheme was a success from the detec-
tive's viewpoint is the one fact that
stands out distinctly.
