The crew of the Colon had landed
with the rest of the prisoners and with
them came Capt. Moreu, who assisted
Col. Forney Of the marine corps, in his
labors as mastering officer and asked
permission to say d few parting words
to the men who had so nobly stood by
him.
The request was readily granted,
but Capt. Moreu instead of making a
formal and eloquent address to the
long, walked up to the man at the
head of it, and taking him warmly by
the hand, tenderly kissed the grim
sailor on the cheek.
When the men saw the action of the
commander, they wept as If their
hearts would break, and as the captain
walked down the line shaking hands
with each, and kissing each sun
burned cheek as if it had been that of
the most beautiful senorita in Spain,
each man threw his arms around his
commanders neck and gave him a
most hearty embrace.

words of farewell TO the crew. AS he

One Of our western exchanges, which
supported the Chicago ticket in 1896. and
which has since that time been working
with the party organization, comments
on the fact that "Coin" Harvey in q
recent speech in Cincinnati delivered for
the purpose OF booming his scheme 10
raise free silver campaign fund. told
his hearers that all subscriptions to the
fund are to be sent TO the Union Trust
Company's bank.
II Harveys scheme is TO be carried out,
II ne is to receive 81 from each of the
persons who voted for free coinage, the
sum raised Will amount to something Ike
$3.50 10000. And yet this man. who repre-
sents the antitrust people OF this coun-
try, wants to withdraw this vast sum
OF money from circulation and put 10 I'm
the hands of a trust company for the
purpose Of advancing the cause Of the
plain people.
1t will be argued, OF course. that II is
necessary 20 fight the devil with fire %
TO use a favorite phrase with MI Harvey
and his fellows. and that there must be
q large sum OF money 10 combat the
money power" But will these reform
ers do evil that good may come? Abolish
