DOLLAR WHEAT
WAS COMMON THEN.
And Wages and Work Were on
n Par With Wheat-It's Dir
ferent Now.


A late issue of that bright little
paper, the Superior Sun. says: "It
was no uncommon thing when sill
yer was on an equality with gold,
for wheat to zeach a dollar or dol
lar and quarter. and the wages of
the laboring men were according
and all at work. Now, with a war
and total crop failure abroad, our
supply nearly exhausted and al
most completely in the control of a
few spectators. the entire Repub-
hcan party is dancing ghost dance
because wheat has for the first
time in years touched the dollar
point, and the spectators who pur
chased the same for from sixty to
seventy cents are now unloading it
at dollar and seventy cents, and
the laboring man out of work or
on half wages, are paying the fid-
dler. Restore silver and wages
will advance and wheat will hover
around the dollar as it used to,
continually.
The report now is that Havana
is to be isolated. The report was

Mole St Nicholas. Haiti. May 3d.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived here from the corresponds with
the American feet of Santiago de Gu
ba, under date of May 20: Commo-
dore Schley and the flying squadron
has the Spanish feet bottled up In the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba.
ssBy the most clever manouvering.
the Commodore allowed the Spaniards
to think he had left in disgust They
took the bait and ran into the harbor-
"Commodore Schley moved 9owns
and at a. M, going close to the har=
Dor he saw the ChristobaI Colon, the
Maria Teresa and two torpedo boats
Commodore Schley was acting on
his own information and Judgment for
the past six days, and believes the
whole Spanish feet is there.
Gle sat on the after triangle of the
BROOKLYN until after the discovery OF
the feet, and then he went to break
fast saying: Il have got them, and
they will never get home.'"
The United States auxiliary cruiser
ST. Paul arrived here and was sent to
the Mole ST. Nicholas with dispatches.
She captured coal ship, which was
sent to Key West by Captain Sigsbee,
in charge of a prize crew. The coal
was undoubtedly intended for the
Spanish feet. 1t is believed there is
not much coal at Santiago de Cuba.
The officers and men of the flying
squadron are jubilant over the fact
that the location of the Spanish feet
has finally been definitely established.
The temperature is 100 degrees in
the shade, and in the steel turrets the
heat is actually beyond the power of
imagination.
The American ships here are the
Brooklyn, Texas, Massachusetts, Iowa.
Marblehead and Vixen, an auxiliary
torpedo gunboat.

KIND OF DEMOCRACY
THAT BRYAN WANTS.

Mr.. Bryan recently made q
speech before the Mohawk Club of
Detroit, which is worth preserving
as MASTERPIECES of oratory. In
the following brief extract he gives
us his ideas of true Democracy:
81 want Democracy of the
fathers, a Democracy that shall
know no difference between indi-
viduals, Democracy that says to
the poor man, you shall have what
you earn that says to the rich
man, You shall possess what you
earn, also I want a Democracy
that will protect the little that the
little man has, and protect the
great amount that the great man
las. I want Democracy that
shall say to the poor man, You
shall not lay hostile hands upon
that which industry has procured
and which economy has laid away,
and I want Democracy that shall
say to avarice, Thus far shalt thou
go and no farther; you shall not
take the bread that you have not
earned That is our idea of de-
mocraoy and it is because it is a
true idea, it is because it is a just
idea. it is because it is righteous
idea, that it will appeal to more and
more and will at last prevail"

The Spanish fleet, Sampson has
been hunting for so long, it is said
is securely bottled up by Commo-
dore Schley in the harbor at San
tiago de Cuba. But how to get at
them with our fleet, is worrying
the Navy Department. at Washing
ton. The entrance to the harbor
is full of contact mines and tor
pedoes. Yankee ingenuity will
find way to root them out.
