anger Is on every face. -Four strands
OF barb wire surely never fenced In so
much gloom before.
Not all of the prisoners can pass the
time as they please within the inclos-
ure. Woe to the vanQuished! They
must work. Fifty OF them, divided in
to sullen squads OF ten, each suuad
guarded by two vigIlant privates with
loaded rifles, are policing the village.
With rakes and shovels they are gatll-
ering up the decaying refuse that the
livid land crabs have proved unequal
to, raking and scraping the foul ac-
cumulatiOn of years of Cuban neglect
into l0athsome heaps, presently to be
burned, with stencil indescribable
and abOminable.
The Cubans, when requested to per-
form some light and agreeable task
FOR the accommodation or assistance
of their American saviors, often re-
spond with more or less hauteur that
they are not servants, porters or hos
pltal attendants, us the case may be,
but fighters. 1t is generally admitted
by our men that the Spaniards are
fighters-in their poor, weak way-so
that 1t is quite likely that they object
to becoming scavengers, Spanish pride
being no less than Cuban pride. This
may account for the gloom.
However, the work IL necessity.
and IL the Spanish prisoners were not
available 1t Is certain that the Cuban
Fighter" could not be induced to un-
dertake it-he would sooner have vel
low fever-so that the task would
devOlve upon Private Thomas Ameri-
canus. Moreover, 1t Is more Disagree
able than artluous, and though 1t may
hurt Castilian pride little 1t raises
no blisters.
Then there is the all-cOmpensating
ration-the full ration as issued to the
American sOldier-corned beef, bacon,
hard tack, sugar and coffee to re
pletion or to something very near 1t.
Small wonder that the half-starved
wretches declined to be exchanged.
The presence of the Spanish in this
particular situation Is evidently
source of high qualification to the in
surgent soldiery, though 1t is evident
that they do not approve of the con-
sideratiOn with which the prisoners
are treated. They are not allowed by
the guards to approach the inclosure
or to annoy the former Oppressors in
any way that can be prevented, but
they make the most of their privilege
of gazing from afar. 1t is n huge joke
for these black men.
Back of the inclosure and halfway
up the hillside n blOckhOuse has been

fsh wounded. There are seven of them
in there now under the personal charge
of DIR. Lesser. who pOurs carbolized
balm and steriliZed oil into their hurts
with an unsparing hand. 1t is touch
Ing to witness the expression of sur
prise and gratitude on their wasted
and pain-,lrawn faces when they real
lie for the first time that they are not
going to be slaughtered, but cared for
with skill and Kindness. On the whole
they are more cheerful in the block
house than In the inclOsure below
which is to say they are occasionally
cheerful.

Issue and Candidate.

The Newark Sunday Call thinks that the
cannot be other than corporate control and
corporate taxation, and it pertinently says:
The Republicans have forced the cues
ton. not only by putting corporation men
to the front but by their legislation and
appointments since they secured State
control. Jersey City, in the grasp of the
East Jersey monopoly ; Paterson, rebellious
against the same concern; Newark, over
ridden by the trolley power and baked in
its efforts to abolish grade crossings
Union county, also trolley ridden; Camden
suffering from railroad politicians who
have given it evil government for years
in fact, each centre of population has it's
grievance. The taunts of Kansas Popu-
lists in Congress at the use OF New Jerseys
name for the advancement OF corporate
interests elsewhere in the country are not
forgotten, and the stinging of the filings has
not been successfully concealed. Finally
the Legislature has under Republican rule
justified the worst that could be said. A
minority party could hardly avoid making
the best of such situation, and the New
Jersey Democrats will not be slow TO
accept their opportunities, unless all signs
fall
The unconcealed domination of corpora
tions at Trenton last Winter would have
been ludicrous but f r the humiliation
that every independent Jerseyman felt
at that spectacle. Their lobby agents
took possession of the floor in both Houses
of the Legislature and openly directed its
proceedings. Governor Voorhees,, from
whom better things were expected on ac-
count of his past record, knuckled to the
power which controls the Republican
organization in New jersey, and every
corporation measure has been approved by
him, including the infamous Pole bill
which depyiyes citizens of substantial
rights. The Democrats can unquestionably
carry the State next Fall on the corpora
tion issue if they nominate the right man
for Governor. That is Christian Braun.
Of Pa ersor, who as Mayor and State
Senator has uniformly and fearlessly
defied the pretensions and resisted The
entertainments of powerful corporations.
For many reasons he is the most available
candidate, and could poll more votes than
any other Democrat who might be named,
His nomination would give Essex county
TO the party, and ensure the election of
Democratic Assembly to choose a United
States Senator. The Democracy NAV win
with another candidate, but its triumph
will be certain under the leadership of
Christian Braun. Paterson Guardian.

William j. Bryan, like many other
American citizens, desired to do what lay
in his power for the country in the present
emergency. He offered his services to the
President but received not even the cour-
tesy of an acknowledgment. Then he
raised regiment of Nebraska volunteers,
but there was disposition to prevent its
acceptance by the Government. The New
York World sarcastically says of this case !:
Mr.. Bryan is not the son of Cabinet
officer, nor of a Senator, nor of member
of Congress, nor of a millionaire; be is
not even nephew of Governor nor of an
ex-COngressman. He has absolutely no
claim whatever to a commission on an
cestral grounds, and the trifiing circum
stances that something more THAI six
millions of his fellow citizens considered
him qualified to serve as COMMANDMENT
Chief of the Army and Navy of the United
States is so far from recommending him
that it is probably the reason why he has
been persistently snubbed in his modest
effort to be of service to his country.

ALMoNEssoN.

Children's Day service will take place in
our church next Sunday. An interesting
program has been prepared, and the church
will be decorated with flowers, and Old
Glory.
Pea picking and strawberry picking are
engaging the juvenile attention now, in
stead of school
Perhaps not since the trolley road has
been built. has the Company run its cars
on such an inconvenient schedule as it is
now, and has since the last change was
made. Every Sunday crowds walk out
here and back TO Woodbury., preferriDg to
do that than wait two hours for a trolley.
Last Sunday by actual count there were
sixteen persons in one crowd who am
bulated to our village. 1t is apparent it
would pay to run another car or two,
especially on Sunday.
Our public SHOOT closes next Friday for
the Summer vacation. The children who

previous history.
