READ OUT THE PARTY.

Senator Butler. of N. c., chairman Of
the Populist National Committee,
formally read Senator Kyle out of the
populist party because he voted for
the war revenue bill. The reading
out process did not appear TO worry
Senator Kyle, who stated that he was
responsible to his conscience and his
constituents, and not 90 Butler, for his
official actions. Mr.. Kyle disposed of
some statements concerning him made
by SENATOR Pettigrew by denouncing
them as Intentional and malicious
falsehoods."

Trusts and Their Denouncers.

America is the only country in the
world in which it is regarded by one
part of the population a crime against
labor to amalgamate for safeguarding
the financial interests which are in
volvcd in great commercial undertake
ings. A trust is no more antagonistic
to the rights of labor than the rights of
labor are antagonistic to trusts. Labor
and capital rise and fall together.
Their interests are identical; and these
are not far to seek. Profit is the re-
ward of investment and direction, as
wages are that of labor. No capitalist
will invest his money in an undertake
ing that does not bring him immediate
or potential profit; no laborer will work
without the wages of labor. The idea
of labor has been restricted by ignor-
ant demagogues and esotistical jour
nal!sts to manual or mechanical labor;
whereas labor, in the strict economical
serse of the term, is unqualified by
conditions of production, whether it is
the result of hand, or eye, or brain, or
intelligence. A man who has nothing
to bring but his unskilled labor into
the market must accept the lowest liv-
ms wage, because he is placed in COM
petition with an unlimited supply of
the same productive force to limited
demand. 1t is useless for men of his
class to form combination or trust or
union, because the supply of manual
labor is ineAhaustible in countries
where industrial life has become set
tied. Where labor is skilled, and con-
sequently limited, we find Industrial
unions or trusts. These are on all
fouls with commercial trusts. They
are formed to keep wages at a certain
standard, rigidly laid down by the Gre
dentials of the trade. They seek to
minimize the force of competition in
that particular trade, and consequently
to maintain the highest wages procur.
able. This is exactly what trust or
combination, or amalgamation of man.
ufacturers does. They form a trust
| or union for the good of each, for the
good of all 1t seems ineXplicohle that
the foresight that is SC highly COM
and reprehersble in the manufacturer
or producer. In either case the ques-
tion of innocence or guilt depends for
its answer upon whether the strength
thus concentrated is directed to good or
bad ends.

Let Us Have the Truth.

While the matter is not now one of
the first Importance, yet in the inter-
est of fair play a definite understand
ing should be reached with reference
TO what passed between Generals Shaf-
ter and Garcia during their co-opera-
ton at Santiago. Versions widely diff
ferent in purport are now in circula-
tiOn and it is desirable from many
standpoints that the truth should be
known.
General Shafter, for instance, says
Garcia got mad and withdrew because
the Americans would not make him
governor of Santiago. He says this
was why Garcia declined to be pres
ent on the occasion of Toral's surrender
and he says that during the invest
ment of the city the Cuban forces
showed their worthlessness by permit
ting 1000 Spanish reinforcements to
pass through their lines and enter the
city. Admiral Sampson, on the other
hand, pays the highest compliments
to Garcia and intimates that the rea-
son why Garcia did not join Shafter
in witnessing Santiagos surrender was
because Shafter did not invite him to.
In this assertion Admiral Sampson is
corroborated by the Cuban brigadier
general, Joaquin ID. Castillo, who was
an officer in the American navy. Cen
eral Castillo says:
Personally, / must say that General
Shafter has always treated me with the
greatest courtesy. His misunderstanding
with General Garcia was occasioned by
the fact that specific promises had been
made to the latter which General Shaftcr
either would not or could not carry out.
Before the American forces landed Gem
eral Shafter and Admiral Sampson met
General Garcia at Aserraderos for a con-
ference, at which l was present, GEN.
eral Shafter there, of his own accord,
promised General Garcia that on the sur
render of the city 1t would be turned
over to him. So late as the day before
the surrender General Sha fter told me
that the Spanish prisoners would be
marched outside of the city, and that the
Cubans would be allowed to enter. How
ever, when the surrender came we were
told that we could not enter, General
Shafter summing up the situation
finally by saying, "After all. this Is
American territory, captured by Ameri-
can arms This statement, taken IN
connection with the fact that not a sin
gle Cuban flag wts allowed to be raised
and that General Garcia was not in
vited to be present at the surrender, nat
urally caused indignation among our
forces. II appeared that all consideration
was being paid to the wishes of the Span
iards, and the Cubans treated as out
casts. The only words said by Shafter
to Garcia concerning the surrender
were, General. I guess you will be glad
TO see some of your friends tomorrow"
The failure to invite Garcia was as de-
liberate as the failure to invite Admiral
Sampson.
General Castillo adds:
1t is said that the Cubsns did not fight,
but only attacked the provisions. General

Garcia had no pack animals, and to feed
his 5,OOO men, who under orders of Gem
eral Shafter were always to occupy the
right of General Luwtons and General
Ludlow's forces, he detailed go men to
| carry the provisions from Siboney eight
miles to the frCnt. The result was that
a continuous stream of Cubans appeared
walking through. the American lines
heavily laden with supplies. The Amer
lean soldiers, ignorant of the mission of
| these carriers, naturally charged them
with selfshness and gluttony when they
themselves were waiting for commissary
supplies at the front. l do not doubt that
many OF the pacifcos. half starved and
nearly naked, picked up food and clothing
which was found scattered by the way
side. To therefore charge the entire Gu
ban people with being dishonest is as un-
just as 1t would be to make similar charge
against the American forces because
seven OF them committed robbery at
Jewelry store In Santiago. for which they
are imprisoned. AS to the Cubans not
hghting or working, we have the letters
of Generals Lawton and Ludlow, who
alone are able to judge, because their
forces only were near the Cubans, that
the Cubans worked hard and fought we'll.
The trenches on the right, occupied by
their FORCES, were built by the Cubans.
General Garcia in all things subordinated
himself to the orders of General Shafter.
lie advised the latter that to cut off re
ipforcements he was desirous of going
further into the country, so that, even
though the Spaniards should force their
way, there would be ample time for Am
erican forces to come up and catch them
between two fl es. General Shafter an
swered, Let them come into the town.
That VIII only augment the distress
there This is also vouched for by Gem
eral o. o. Howard. The only orders
Garcia had were to keep constantly TO
General Lawton's right, and these orders
he obeyed to the letter. That the Gu
bans fought is proved by the large num-
Der OF Killed and wounded.
Here are certain specific statements
which are either true or false and the
question of their truth or falsity can
readily be answered If proper inquiry
be Instituted. If Shafter told Garcia
in SIMPSONS presence that Garcia was
to occupy Santiago Sampson will re-
member the fact. One word from him
on that score will settle the matter.
Again, If Shafter told Garcia not to
mind about cutting the Spanish REIN
fJrcements off, somebody must have
heard him say this-somebody whose
testimony will be accepted as conclu-
sive
Let the public be informed as to the
truth in this matter so that false i'm
pressions, if any have been made, may
be corrected.

A LESSON FOR CERVERA.


From the Lancaster Examiner.
Admiral CerNe era has won the admir-
alton of the American people by his
chivalrous courtesy to Horson and his
men, and they have returned the COM
pliment by giving him everywhere that
hearty reception which brave hearts
feel the whole world round for 'he
fearless. The admiral represents the
best elements of civilization-bravery
generosity and enlightened humanity.
Perhaps he never was cheered more
heartily in his own country than here,
wherever he visited. This is all heroic
on our part, sin ply because it is the
most intense expression of Christian and
civilized feeling. Admiral Cervera says
he intends to come back to US. lie wants
to study the country and the institu-
tions that have made 1t so great and
so generous. 1t will be profitable study
for so intelligent "A Spaniard to make.
And when he sees how the school house
crowns every hill, and learns that every
man in the fleet and army that so COM
pletely overwhelmed the Spanish power
has had opportunity to educate his mind
the great Spanish admiral may have some
good advice to give to his country, II per
cent. of whose population are unable to
read or write. And he may learn some
thing also of the results of our absolute
divorce of church and state, of our jcal
Gus guardianship of personal liberty and
of our supreme regard for manhood. lie
may not work immediate reforms amid
the medieval minds of his Countrymen
but he can still sow some thing which, like
seed cast on Indifferent ground. may IN
time reproduce itself and fertlizc a lan1
The best object lesson he can have will
be the liberal government we will in
augurate in Cuba and Porto Rico. and
perhaps in several of the philippine
Islands, The old countries will find
that the school house leads to the very
foundation of civilization-liberty of ac-
ton and freedom in thinking and speak
ing.

and resolved that we should treat the
conquered peoples as wards, should not
return them to Spain, and after estab-
fishing a protectorate should give them
chance ultimately to set up house
keeping for themselves or come into the
United States by permanent annexation.

OF course, the anti-imperialists will
now declare that they never expected
anything to come from the Saratoga
convention, anyhow. But in view of the
loud-sounding declarations as to the
purity of their intentions and the ad-
vance explanations that they did not in
tend to embarrass the administration,
their complete rout is amusing. 1t IS,
In fact, the most divertng episode of
the war. Forgetting the humors of the
situation, however, the action taken is
most inspiriting. 1t shows that such
men as William Dudley Foulke and
Chancellor McCra cken are not recreant
to the demands of the hour. Not ignor-
ant of the difficulties that confront their
country. they repudiate the groveling
pessimism that louts their manhood
and would meet the new responsibilities

not want for men nor the problems a
