the fact that Santiago de Cuba Is recog-
nized as a great fever focus as far as
Rio Santos. or over 1900 wounded treated
in the division hospital only two have

company ana regiment, who succumbed
TO a brain operation. Both were buried
this morning. after religious services.
+ There have been no cases OF blood pols-
oning. The behavior Of the patients and
wounded IS heroic. There Is not a moan
or murmur among the whole 100. Last
night many were lying on the hard
ground outside the tents. Surgeons and
nurses worked increasingly for As hours
without rest or meals, and there are 20
wounded yet 10 come from the field. The
hospital corps Is short handed, and doc
tors from the vessels OF the feet are
working day and night.
The wounds show that the Span.ards
are not only using explosive bullets but
also brass covered bullets with the ends

oarbed wire. The Spanish sharpshooters
are firing at the Red Cross Society people
and at the ambulances. They shot one
driver who was badly wounded.
The raging surf makes shipment of the
wounded to the transport and hospital
ships very difficult. as there is no pier
and the landing facilities are very
meagre

A Much Need d Law.

Under this heading a few weeks ago
we published a short editorial setting
forth our reasons for the necessity of a
law which requires criminal who had
been sentenced to death to be at once
transported to the penitentiary, and
there executed. We advocate this on
account of the saving in expense it
will be to the State. We advocate it
in order to do away with public execu-
tions, which are in our opinion demon
alizing, we advocate it to prevent
the lynching of criminals, and lastly
we advote it to prevent escapes of
murderers. In W. Va. whose jails are
usually shade better than ours, we
learn there have been in twelve
months twenty-seven escapes of per-
sons who were condemned to be hung.
In many OF these cases immense ex-
penses have been heaped on the State,
and in several of them the rewards
offered by the State have run up into
the thousands. A few have been re-
captured of course, and Others may
be, but at great cost. Some will escape
entirely. This is an easy law tc draft
and to pass we think. Its passage
would violate no constitutional pr.vi'
lege, and it has everything to recon-
mend it to public favor, as it will be
measure in the interest of economy
and moral elevation.

Mr. Hams In Trouble.

1t is thought that Mr.. Marcus A.
Hanna. the political magnate, is dead.
Ii not dead he has surely received
some ugly stabs in the house OF his
friends. Both houses of the Ohio Leg
islature have been organized against
him. The Senate standing IS to H.,
and the house Sc to SO anti Hanna.
If this organization is maintained he
is dead. But all the powers OF earth
and possibly those of some other name
less country are being brought to bear
upon the recalcitant Republicans, and
no one knows what may happen be-
fore the 18th, the day the vote is to be
taken. Even Mr.. Mckinley may be
found in Columbus before that time,
and number of his bencemen are
there now using every available infu-
ence possessed by the administration
in Mr.. Hanna's behalf. There has not
been such political excitement in
Ohio in years, if ever before, and
fights and depunciations go regularly
on. 1t will be a terrible blow to the
Mckinley administration if the owner
OF it fails in his pet scheme, but there
will be manv dry eyes in other quar-
tiers.

The Blind Leading the Blind.

The almost unanimous opposition of
the Bank managers of this country
last year to free silver coinage led
many, who thought they ought to
know what was best, to join in the
antagonism. They forgot that expert
q man as a bank manager is no more
a guarantee that he knows anything
about finance, { the fact that he is
the humblest clei n the bank. Bank
presidents. as a rule, ara not chosen
for their kno wiedge of finance, but for
far different reasons-what deposits
they can influence, their kno Wedge of
the finaucial standing of individuals,
the fact that they can be of use to in
finential stockholders, and the like.
VIM NJ. Singerly, the editor of the
Philadelphia Record, an active and in
fluential member of the small Demo
cratic party that exists in Pennsyl-
vania, is man OF integrity but,
though the President of the Chestnut
Street National Bank of Philadelphia,
and also of the Chestnut Street Trust
and Savings Company Of the same city,
had little knowle ye of finance. He
was, as most bank presidents, blind
victim to the dictates of Wall street.
He was extremely bitter on the Demo-
cratic party and platform after he de-
serted, few newspapers were more SO,
and his editorials were marvels of
financial wisdom. Last week both of
the financial institutions of which he
is at the head, broke He had not
ness, he who had been instructing the
country. He also had talked so much
of an irresponsible currency, and of
fifty cent dollars, but not thought it
bad finance to lend i'm mense sums from
his two institutions on securities which
to day only represent two-cent dollars.
Like an honest man he has given up
all his property to partially repair the
damage done, and is about to devote the
closing years Of his life to economy
enough to still further repair it.
This ought to be lesson to the PEG
pie as to the weight they should give a
mans financial views simply because
his trade is to deal in money. Mr..
Singeriy's two hanks have come to an
untimely end while the country is on
a gold basis, and therefore silver had
no hand in it. 1t ls also certain that
in the present depressed condition of
the codntry there is not great deal of
business for his banks to do, and that,
as in all other departments of com
merce, their number will have to be
reduced. The attitude the banks have
assumed towards free coinage is sim
ply one of suicide as they will find out
sooner or later. They are, so to speak,
following Mr.. Singerly to the grave, a
case Of the blind leading the blind.

The Checks Explained

The checks which figured irfthe tria
of Maj. ]. N. Stubs ana about the
possession of which so much has been
said, have been explained by Mr..
Greer FL. Baughman who turned them
over to Maj. N. V. Randolph. who il
turn placed them ia the hands of III 2
committee.
Mr.. Baughman told the grand jury
that he had been given the checks by
Mir. Montgomery West, OF the firm of
West, Johnston " Co., which failed
some time since.
Some years ago Mr.. J. w. Wonack
had desk room in the store of West.
Johnston & Co. located On Maia street
When he removed his quarters there
was left behind great deal of waste
paper. which was cleared out when the
firm failed. Then it was that these
checks caught the eye of Mr. West
That gentleman knowing Col. Stub :

Government BY Injunction,

There was no wiser plank in the Ma
tional Democratic platform at Chica
go than its protest against government
by injunction. No one can tell how
far the judiciary will stretch its power
In that direction. The State of Ten
nessee has just been made to feel it.
This year the assessment OF railroad
property In this State was increased SO
that the aggregate tax paid by the
roads will be S225, 600 instead of $125.
poo. Judge Clarke of the o. 8. District
Court has, at the prayer OF the rail
roads, granted perpetual injunction
the State authorities from
collecting the increased tax. II 1t
comes to this, that Slate cannot assess
lh~ operty within its limits, then the
istence of state Is put in

ourts have power over its taxation. We
