Paris, Nov. 12.-Madam Dreyfus, it
is said, applied at the office of the
colonial minister Friday for permission
to send her husband some warm cloth
ing for his return home. Her request
was refused on the ground that the
government would do whatever was
necessary. At the same time the au-
thorities read to her letter from her
husband to the effect that, having for
five months addressed appeals for a
revision to Gen. De Boisdeffre without
getting any reply and being wearied
by his useless appeals, he would write
no more to anybody. He described
himself as i'll and dying and bequeath-
ed to the generosity of my country
the care of rehabilitating my mem
ory."
Mme Dreyfus then asked permission
to telegraph her husband the decision
of the court of cessation. This request
also was refused. Then, through a
friend, she appealed to President
Faure, but with no better results. Her
counsel will bring the matter before
the court of cessation.

London, Nov. 1O.-The Paris cores
pondent of the Telegraph says: There
is much anxiety in government circles
here as to the Spanish situation. This
is not because there is any fear that
peace will not be concluded, for it is
held that Spain and the United States
are bound to agree sooner or later,
though now it is said the Spaniards
require ISOLATION of $3.50, 900, 900 for the

considers $50, 600, 900 ample. 1t is the
Spanish domestic situation that in
spires alarm. Sagasta's government is
tottering. Anarchy, civil war and
military dictatorship are candidates
for the succession to parliamentary

present at the polling places at Phoenix
for the purpose of witnessing the atti-

of the constitution. My brother took
no part in the management OF the
polling place, which was in the hands
of democrats. He sat on the piazza OF
Mr.. Lakes house and witnessed the
afidavits given him, depositing these
affidavits in box.
'Mr. Ethridge, the white man who
was killed, was an election manager at
a precinct two miles away. He left his
precinct and with party of men went
to Phoenix. He walked up with his
party to where my brother was sitting
at table and kicked over the table
and box in which were the certificates.
Then he assaulted my brother. Then
democrat voters who were in the same
house rushed out and commenced
shooting into the crowd. The negroes
fed. My brother told me that Ethridge
was killed by shots from his own
friends. My brother did not have a

TIMES CHANGES.

Arthur Hamlin, grandson of Hanni-
bal Hamlin, vice president of the United
States when Lincoln was president, was
arrested in this city on Monday last and
charged with vagrancy. Hunger drove
him to desperation, SO he went into
restaurant, and, after eating hearty
meal, left with out paying. The pro-
prietor of the place made the charge.
The "culprit's" defense was that he was
without either money or friends, had not
eaten for days, and could not obtain en-
ployment, which he had earnestly sought
for long time. Judge Conlan very
properly dismissed him, but probably
ironically commanded him to secure
situation" Can the judge secure 1t
for him? Hundreds come into our Of

thing, and We can say-because we know
that even most highly educated and
refined men are grateful if they can Sc

money lender is not popular with the peO-
pie and he has not many votes. The
bond plan is the cheapest plan for the
tax payer, and those who fight for their
country should be paid in the best money
of the world. He substitutes the tax
payer and soldier in time of war for the
laborer, pensioner and loan savings bank
widow in times of peace. In neither case
is the money lender any where in sight:
the niger rejoices that no man sus-
poets the possibilities in his particular
wood pile.
AS to the soldier, possibly the money
good enough for fighting the civil war
is good enough for fighting the Spanish,
war. But if his dollars won't buy enough
give him more of them. 1t will be a
losing business for both gold and tax
payer If in freeing Cubans they enslave
their selves to the money power. AS to
the taxpayers "Cheapness" is very rela-
tive matter. The bond plan would per-
haps cost him fewer dollars. The bond
more property and labor And in the
bond plan he enslaves himself in in
terest, which he never gets done paying.
1t never pays to theorize about any mat
ter when experience is avoidable. We
now have the gold standard. and the
average man knows how difficult 1t is to
pay small debts and low taxes. ANY
man who lived just after the civil war
knows how easy it was then to pay large
debts and high taxes. Besides he knows
that all business was then on boom,
whereas now all is stagnation except
with the money lender. If you are not
old enough to remember these things ask
some old man in whom you have con-
confidence. And if you are Republican
don't whack off your memory to keep
from remembering. That is carrying
party discipline to an extreme.
It is said that it would now REQUIRE
more wheat or cotton to pay the balance
of the civil war debt than would have
paid the whole debt when the war end
ed. ooh, but much of this is interest"
Just so, but that is not reason why we
should pay interest on this war from the
word 60.
''But times and conditions have chang
ed" Strange, how we'll you guess it. We
had bimetallism and greenbacks then:
now We have the gold standard and ma
tional banks. Money lenders have manip-
ulated times and conditions;" suppose
the people now tried their hand by way
of change and a rest.

GREENBACKS OR BONDS9

The mOney-lender never asks for any
legislation for himself. Oh, no! he is
not popular with the people, who have in
some way got the idea that what is good
for the money lender is not good for
them. The Republican manager there
fore keeps the money lender in the back
ground and pushes the laborer, the pen
sioner and the poor savings bank widow
to the front. He, however, fights for
the money lender behind this breastwork
all the same, and the wonder is that So
many voters fail to see the "nigger in
the woodpile." The Republican manager
Of course, knows that the vote of the
money lender would go but little way
toward keeping the party in power and
that his only chance is to deceive others
into voting the interests Of the money
lender and against their own without let
ting them know that they do it.
1t is clearly in the interest
of money lenders to have the
sinews Of war raised by the
sale of bonds and on the gold stand
ard basis. This not only gives him new
bonds. but keeps up the value of old
bonds. He does not particularly object
to internal revenue taxation, for that
adds nothing to the volume Of money,
simply transfers 1t from the people to
the government and in no wise inter-
fers with the gold standard. OF course

THE IOWA POPULISTS.
They Speak Wisely md Well.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 15.--Strong
resolutions advocating vigorous meas
ures against Spain were adopted here
yesterday by the middle-Of-the-ro
Populist state committee. The commit
tee declared in writing that the plat
form pledges for Cuban independence
must be regarded and carried out with
out delay, which delay goes by the
name diplomacy" and that the party
would give its hearty support to the
government in vigorous policy toward
Spain. It was asserted that the re-
sponsfbility for the horrible destruction
of the battleship Maine had been fixed
beyond reasonable doubt" and that
Spain, the guilty party, ought to be
forced to pay the penalty for her deed.
How to conduct the war financially was
told In detail, in a long resolution. The
committee held that gold bonds, bond
syndicates, and spectators of all kinds
should not be used to carry on the con-
f1ict; instead irredeemable treasury
notes ought to be issued by the ma
tional government.
Alleged cooperation, styled FUSION"
was denounced as confusion. All true
members of the original Populist party
were adjured to "refuse to fuse or to
swap votes" in national. state or local
election. If the Peoples party was
right, as was maintained, 1t ought to
stand alone; if it was not right its
members ought to join some other par
ty. The Omaha and st. Louis plat
forms were reaffirmed. All Democrats
were said to be incapable of being Pop
