The reception given Col. Bryan
by democratic senators and repre-
sentatives shows very plainly that
he is still recognized by them as
the party leader. One probable
result of Col. Brysn's visit to
Washington will be that with one
or two possible exceptions, demo-
cratic senator's will offer no oppo-
sition to the prompt ratification of
the treaty of peace by the senate
they having, after talking the mat
ter over agreed with Col. Bryan
that the question of expansion was
not involved in the treaty and will
not necessarily be affected by that
document. Col. Bryan is very
emphatic in expressing his belief
that We should accord the same
treatment to the Philippines that
will be given to Cuba. Represen-
tative Swanson of Virginia, goes
further than Col. Bryan in oppo-
sing expansion. He said while
discussing Mr.. McKinley's Allan
ia speech, in which he asked "Who
would haul down the flag? in the
Philippines" I am one of the
men in Dixie who would haul down
the flag over the Philippines. 1
would rather establish q republic
in the Orient than destroy one in
the Occident. The Philippines
should be turned loose and their
people should be allowed to esta-
blish and maintain their own 60
vernment But there are other
democrats who favor expapsion.I
tor instance, Representative KinA3
Of Utah, who hopes soon to be- 81
senator, said: THE democratic |,
party will never go on record as q
party opposed to expansion. We
will oppose imperialism, but not
'xpension, and We will advocate
giving all persons under the So
'ereignity of the United States
he greatest degree of self govern
nent of which they are capable,

Bryan tried to convince me that I
vas wrong, but I firmly believe
hat the United States should not

BRAVE RESCUE OF

Boston, Dec. 27-Twenty- or thirty
young people broke through the ice on

Roxbury and Brookline people are prais-

ice broke and the boy, too. went under.
Wallace jumped into the freezing water
and struck out toward the little ones. He

with difficulty, took the brave youngster on
his back and started for the girl.
AS he neared the firm ice someone threw
a life-preserver upon which Wallace plac-
ed the girl. Still keeping firm hold on
the boy, he called for the men to haul in
the rope. A few tugs and the rope broke
and all three went down and out of sight.
Wallace. whose swim had been long

clothing, had begun TO show signs of col
lapse. At last, still clinging to the two

soon accomplished.
Ten years ago Wallace rescued three

HACKENSACK MEADOWS
WILL BE RECLAIMED

New York, Dec. 27-Plans for the recla-
nation of the Hackensack Meadows were
prepared this morning by the New Jersey
Land Reclamation and Improvement Com
pany. which filed articles of Incorporation
last week, with capital stock of Sl25, 900.
The first steps in the direction of re
claiming the meadows viii be to secure
the ashes from several towns in the vi
cinity of Hacensac Meadows. Regular
agreements to that effect are TO be drawn
UP between the company and the town
authorities. The company will pay for the
carriage of the ashes to the meadows.
The company has already secured con-
troll of large tracts of meadow land. AS
rapidly as a section of the marsh land is
filled in it is to be turned over TO manu-
facturers, who are to be induced to es
tablish plants there. Dykes and drains are
also 10 be built TO assist in the proper
drainage. Cornelius c. Vermeule, of Or
ange, is the leading spirit in this enter
prise.

But there is nearly complete roster held in

Righteous Vengeance.

Perhaps il is natural that thoughtlzss
persons should demand OF the Cubans ex-
acuy the forbearance and moderation in
dealing with Spanish soldiers that the
proclamation OF the American Commits
sioners urges on them. Unfortunately for
1hoir plans Of courtesy from Cuban to
SPauiard, the men who fought for three
years for independence and who were re
fused the treatment usually accorded to
human beings: who saw their families
butchered or their women outraged or
women and children starved TO death in
a deliberate policy of annihilation-unfor-
tunately, they have human qualities
They are not disposed 10 forgive fends
who do not ask pardon or TO embrace
treacherous enemies who have a knife
ready for stab in the back. a Cuban
no should feel toward the Spaniards as
80 Commissioners suggest. and who
should treat them as guests or as any
thing but the monsters of iniquity they
are, does not deserve the freedom he
fought to secure. He is forced to tolerate
the Spanish soldiers there for the moment,
but that he should cease to hate them with
his whole soul is neither TO be expected
nor desired. As matter of common sense
and for his own protection. he should keep
out of their way, but if he happens to be
insulted by one OF them, he should not be
blamed ii he kills him. No men alive have
any such cause Of hatred as the Cubans.
To say that because they do not treat the
Spaniards, soldiers or civilians, with cour-
uesy they should not be allowed to take
part in a celebration of freed Cuba, is to
punish them for righteous wrath, with
out which they would be lower than dogs
The Spanish citizens of Havana are all
Meylerites, and did more than Spanish
soldiers to- promote the tyranny of Spain.
They are worthy only of hatred, and any
who happen TO fall by Cuban bullets only
get their deserts. OF course the Ameri-
cans are bound to preserve order, and to
do it they must suppress Cuban ven-
geance; but this does not imply that the
Cubans are wrong in their bitterness.
There is not single home left on the
island outside the cities, and one-half the
population has been killed or starved to
death by the Turkish Spaniards-nearly
three times the number of all the people
of the District of Columbia, men, women
and children.

RICH STRIKE IN AN
ABANDONED GOLD MINE

Denver. Col, Dec. 27.-The Bassick gold
mine, of Fremont County, Col, owned by
the Bassiek estate. OF Waterbury, Conn.
has struck vein of gold which runs S4.-
O00 ton. This mine formerly produced
a million dollars a year, but has been
twelve years in court.
After the death of E. F. Bassick. dis
coverer and owner of the mine, his heirs
effected compromise by which the prop
erty was to be reopened. In prosecuting
the preliminary work the new strike was
made, indicating that the old bonanza is
still rich in high grade gold ore. The
time has been too short for extensive ex-
animation, but 1t is said by people in this
city who saw the ore and are familiar
with the mine that there are indications
of large quantities of the rich ore in the
connecting tunnel.
Hugh Butler, attorney for the Bassck
Company acknowledges the truth of the
report of rich returns from the new strike.
1t was a great surprise. and the new ore
body would. he said. be opened up at
once TO ascertain it's extent.

DIVER M0ORE'S STORY
OF HIDDEN SPANISH GOLD
WEALTH BURIED AT SANTIAGO
Vast sum Alleged to Have Been on
CerNera's Ships When They
Went Down.

Lima. Ohio, Dec. 27.-Capt. S. NJ. Briee
talked freely yesterday about the treas
ure, Harry Moore who committed suicide
in Philadelphia, is reported TO have said
was buried at Santiago. He said:
Harry Moore was employed by the Mer-
ritt < Chapman Company on the Maine
and in the investigation of the sunken
Spanish ships. He quarreled with the
Merritt people and lost his job. He came
to me in Havana and l got his passage to
New York / frequently assisted the man
and he told me there was lots of money
on the Spanish boats; that most OF the
money of the Santiago banks had been car
ried away by Cervera's fleet.
''On the trip home and several times
since Moore wanted me to advance money
so he could get an outfit and return to
Cuba. l told him he must make a con-
tract with the Government Moore inti-
mated TO me that one OF the vessels con-
tanned a large amount of Spanish money
to be used in paying the soldiers and sail
ors, which the officers were unable to carry
with them, when the vessel went down.

.
the cortical substance of the brain. There
is notable tendency among medical men
10 relieve mankind of responsibility for
folly and wickedress. That man Is a
creature of inherited defects OF character,
so wholly without initiative as to be un-
able TO resist their influence 10 any con-
siderable degree, Is a doctrine held by
many intelligent persons, but the masses
of mankind are not. prepared to accept all
that is implied i'm this. There are obsta-
cies in the way of adopting it in practical
life. AT present, anyhow, society will not
believe all criminals are blameless. even
though it is unable 10 refute the argu
ments of specialists.
IL we assume that inebriety is always u
disease for which the victim is not to be
held accountable. then we must regard
all forms of folly as the outward symp-
toms of a diseased state. We know that
men drink to excess chiefly for two rea-
sons. The first. and perhaps the most
common. is 10 be sociab!e. A man with
no desire for drink, who would not draw
a cork If left alone may go to bar and
drink with friend according to recos-
nized custom. To be more sociable, meet
ing more friends. he may drink to excess
and become intoxicated. To postpone the
pains that follow he may continue to
drink until somebody takes him in hand
This process may be repeated so often as
to lead at last to an inordinate desire for
the effects of drink which the specialist
classes as a disease. The other reason
why men drink too much is that it pro-
duces what Thackeray calls a state of
don observation-disclosures. 1t suspends
the operation of the moral sense, which.
being the last and highest acquisition of
the mind, is always the first TO disappear
in disease and drunkenness. Some men.
when they are in trouble. when they are
angry, chagrined or otherwise distressed
find relief in this suspension of certain
mental qualities and become less and less
able to endure their troubled or prosaic
normal conditions. Thousands who have
become confirmed drunkards in this way
have reformed suddenly and absolutely
and permanently ON a mere change OF cir
cumsrances or through some personal in
fiuence.
1t does not seem reasonable 10 refer To
that sentiment of sociability which leads
men to conform to the custom of drink
ing together, or that disposition to escape
worry by drinking. as pathological-as
constituting physical disease. The last
state of men who allow such a
sentiment or such moral coward
ice 10 carry them into confirmed
drunkenness may be called diseased with
some show of reason, but that would hard
ly justify the enactment of laws to pro-
hibit all social drin--.ng. 1t would be a
good tnns if treating could be abolished.
Public sentiment could do much to Danish
it. for it is an absurdity al best. But al;
experience shows that a statute. without
the full sympathy OF the public. Will be
evaded. and that an anu-treating law
would only be another dead-ietter To en-
| courage a spirit OF defiance of all laws
to promote public morals.
