SAYS the PoSt-Dispatch: 1T is the
voice of humanity that is pleading for
Cuba. 1t is louder than the chink oil
the almighty dollar" We are glad
to hear that there is something able to
drown the voice of greed, but from eX-
perience greatly do we doubt the state
ment. In the affairs of the United
States the almighty dollar" has for
many years chinked loud enough to
drown the voice of pleading humanity
it has sounded high over the plea oil
liberty against the injunction; 1t has
overcome the crack of the Winchester
at Latimer. 1t is chinking in the pull
pit, on the bench. and in the forum,
and no concord of sweet sounds was
ever so enticing as its all-perYading
monotone. We are gratifed to learn
that its power is limited to our own
shores-that the vastly deep promises
to be its impossible gulf.

never been done before in a Potost

ONE of the most prominent candi-
dates for the Supreme Judgeship is
Leroy B. Vallian: of St. Louis. His
ability is acknowledged and his Integ-
rity unquestioned. If chosen he will
not be found warping the law TO fit the
desire of corporations, nor setting
them above the State whose creatures
they are; but he will deal justly and
fearlessly in all cases: rendering unto
Caesar the things that are rightfully
Caesars, and giving Pompey the butt
end OF the law when the blind goddess
so directs.

The German Empire is enduring a
tyranny that is unprecedented in her
history. 1t has abolished freedom OF
speech and thought upon political
questions, and as q consequence the
patient German grows FESTIVE. Added
to the suppression of liberty, the Ger
man finds that be is slowly but surely
being crowded from the land of his
fathers, the farming population of
the German Empire having decreased
nearly thirteen per cent. in the last
twelve years, and the total population
showing recently slight but distinct
diminution.
England, as the REGISTER has before
pointed out, has become parasite
upon other countries, depending al
most entirely upon them for food for
her crowded working population. She
has expatriated her food producing

foreign war might cause collapse of
the British Empire at any time. Her
army recently went to pieces before
the tribesmen on her northwestern
Indian frontier. 1t was driven igno-
miniously from country where it was
thought no considerable resistance
could be offered.
Russia is suffering from famine
through many of her provinces. Spain
is hopelessly bankrupt and is afflicted
with bread riots almost to the same
extent as Italy.
The fact is, the blessings OF the gold
standard are too modest by half; they
refuse to appear to the eyes of the
anxious worshipers at the shrine of
the golden calf. Their coyness, their
desire for solitude, their reluctance to
appear before a barbarous public in
either hemisphere, is a thing to be
deplored. 1t were vastly better that
they should abandon their seclusion
even at the cost of a blush or two.
The small oligarchy of bankers that
dominates the countries of the Old
World is almost equally powerful
upon this side of the Atlantic. The
house of Rothschild, with its allies,
holds the Mckinley administration in
the hollow of its hand. What it will
be permitted TO do by its masters no
man can forecast. If the money oil
garchy that dominates both hemis-
phere concludes that its interests would
suffer greater injury from having the
present administration turned out of
power than from a war with Spain,
then a war with Spain may confidently
be looked for. If these people think
that a war would work greater injury

THE anxiety of our friend, the bond
holder, to get possession of government
bonds may be readily understood from
the following figures: A million dol
lars of thirty-year four-per-cent. bonds
will cost the investor one million one
hundred and eighty thousand dollars,
at IS per cent. premium. These, in
thirty years, will produce one million
two hundred thousand dollars in inter-
est, so that at the end of that time he
will have received in interest twenty
thousand dollars more than his origi-
nal investment, and the government
will still owe him one million dollars.
These bonds are not subject to taxation
in any form, so that the investor is
free from annoyance and cost from
this source. If he is so disposed he
can establish a national bank, deposit
his million dollars in bonds with the
Treasury Department, and haYe turned
over to him eight hundred and ninety
| thousand dollars in national bank notes
to loan to the public-still continuing
to draw forty thousand dollars interest
| per year from his bonds in the hands
of the Treasury Department. He has
to pay one per cent. on the amount of
the national bank notes the govern
ment issues to him, to pay the expense
of printing them, etc. This sum.
amounting to ten thousand dollars, he
may pay in advance or have deducted
from the bank notes issued. If moth
ing was charged for printing these
notes, he would be entitled to the en-
tire nine hundred thousand dollars.
The whole matter may be briefly sum-
married. as follows:
Original investment, 81, 1890
Interest at 4 per cent. for thirty
years on bonds, $1,20O,OOO.
Amount of bank notes furnished him,
net. 1890, 900.
Interest on same for thirty years at
5 per cent, 1885, 900.
Total apparent investment, $780,
900.
Total actual investment, $290,0O0.
Total profits, not including COM
pound interest. $685. 900.
The actual Investment is ascertained
by subtracting from the value of the
bonds 81, $50, OOO-the $500, 900 in
national bank notes issued by the gov
eminent that are given to do business
upon. At the expiration of the thirty
years, or at the time of going out of
business, the banker returns his bank
notes or their equivalent to the gov
eminent, before he is entitled to take
down his million dollars in bonds, or
the money that they call for. We
think all lost or destroyed bank notes
accrue to the government, but we are
not sure about this. The above figures
explain why our bonds are sought for
by people from the ends of the earth.
Every banker in the land will tell you
it is the best banking scheme ever con-
ceived by the mind of manor the
devil.

THE START FOR SANTIAGO
A Great Game of Warfare Being Played
to Capture or Destroy
Cervera's Fleet

Key West, May pa newspaper
dispatch boat has arrived here with
the story of the movements of Ad-
miral Simpsons fleet, which on Mon
day last was lying directly opposite the
entrance to Havana harbor, about ten
miles off shore A meeting of the
commanding officers was held on board
the flagship, Rnd Immediately there
after the fleet set sail to cooperate
with Commodore Schley's fleet in pre-
venting Ceryera's escape from Santiago
de Cuba.
A number of vessels were left be-
hind on blockade duty. the acting flag
ship flying a blue pennant About
two hours later a large double masted
and double funneled cruiser came
steaming under fun hcadWay from the
westward. When within hatling dis
tance, and without slackening her
speed, she exchanged signals with the
acting flagship off Havana. A string
of Colored bunting was hoisted aloft
on the flagship halliards and the
cruiser pushed ON at full speed After
wards the squadron was in tie Nicho-
las channel, off Cardenas heading for
the old Bahama channel The squad
ron was proceeding with care, for Adj
miral Cevera had not yet actually
been bottled up, and care must be
taken lest the fox turn and dash out
of Santiago around the east end of
Cuba, up through the Windward pas
sage, and north to attack the cities OF
the Atlantic coast of the United States.
In all likelihood Commodore Schley
was able to spring the trap, and then
Rear Admiral Sampson probably has
tened to Santiago. A great game is
being played, and the situation is one
of extreme suspense. After Admiral
Ceryera is sealed up in Santiago har-
Dor the problem will be, as in the case
of a "yarmint" caught in trap
whether to shoot or starve him. In
any event Admiral Cerycra, it is be.
lieved, cannot reach Havana. Two
powerful fleets, each having fast YES
sells, as well as heavy ones and each
able to destroy him, have closed in
upon him. Naval officers here believe
that the battleship Oregon will be or
dered to get in the Rear of Admiral

Key West, May 26.-What threatened
to develop into an ugly affair, if not
a lynching, occurred last night. A re-
port was circulated that a marine had
been shot and killed by a negro from
second story window. The report
reached the sailors and marines, the
latter Of whom were enjoying their
first days liberty since arrival here,
and they formed into two battalions
Rld marched to the Jail with loaded re-
rolvers. They searched the jail, but
could not find the alleged assailant, al
though some wanted to lynch a negro
on principle. Finally the sailors were
returned to their ships and the marines
taken into camp by the troops. 1t now
transpres that there was no shooting
although two seamen We're shot by a
negro Tuesday night There is much
bad blood between the negroes and
"jackies"
