later. Spain replied that they
were willing to do whatever
was proper-which is polite
generalization-but they could
not see their way clear to Cub
an independence. That meant
a fight.
But the president has Sc
cured delay from time to time
and Spain shows signs of dis
covering the loneliness of it's
position and it's helplessness.
Friends of both parties,
friends of the bondholding sort,
are coming forward now with
proposals of every kind. They
want to have the United States
guarantee Cuban indemnities,
and they will undertake to pull
Spain off. The rights of Cuba,
the forfeited claims of Spain do
not concern them; they only
want to see that the bondhold-
ers' rights are protected. That
ought to be the last concern of
the United States. We may in
terpose on the grounds of hui
mainly, though it is an inter
ference that may easily become
meddlesome. But to interpose
in behalf of property is the
furthest from our business.
This country is not appoint
ing itself receiver for Cuba for
the benefit of bondholders who
own the country, who hold a
mortgage placed there by
Spain. The Cubans who pre-
fer liberty or death to such a
condition have a right to the
choice and we should be only
one degree better than the
Spanish-without the excuse
of Spanish preoccupation-to
trample on them: .

THE SACRED FEDERAL COURT.

Why do we spend thought on
Cuba when our own institu-
tons are daily imperil1ed more
and more?. Why do we con
Germ ourselves with the unfit
ness of Spain. to command
when we have the first lessons
of self-rule yet to learn? What
right have we to think of free
ing Cuba when we cannot keep
our own freedom? ..@ ~.-@>.t
Yes, it is the sacred federal
court that has made another
decision. AZ u 49,
This time it is in Tennessee. ;:
The state authorities decided
that the railroads were not pay
ing their share of the taxes.
The assessors made a careful
calculation of the market value
of the railroad properties.
They knew how much stock
was out and how much it was
worth; they knew how many
bonds were out and how much
they were worth. The total was
the value of the railroad proper
ties, possessions and franchises.
Divide by two, because all
property is assessed at half it's
value-contrary to law, by the
way land you have the as
sessed valuation. -,><
The railroads protested. The
result was double what they
had ever paid before. They
had the right of appeal to the
state court but they had also
the right of appeal to the feder-
al court, as nOn-res1dents OF the
state. They preferred the fed
eral court.
Now comes Judge Clark with
the decision that the assess
ment cannot stand, for these
sacred reasons: It is way above
anything the railroads ever
had to pay before. And every
body knows the stocks and
bonds of a railroad outstand-

Milwaukee has elected a new
administration on a platform
pledging municipal ownership
of public utilities. That is the
best municipal platform that
can be devised. It happens
that the new men are Bryan

mainly are everywhere. That,
in municipal affairs, doesn't
matter one way or the other.
It's doesn't signify what a man
thinks about the tariff or silver.

Strikes have begun again in

took a battle sternly waged all
summer to win a truce that

are a necessary part of labor's
struggle but they bring no per-

help the worker materially
while the control of natural and
commercial monopolies is in
private hands.

A MAsTERLY BRAIN IS sTILLED.
Brann, the Iconoclast, is
dead, killed in a duel. He
lived a stormy life, buffeted,
mobbed, threatened, villified,
dragged through the street by
a rope about his neck, fighting
always, fearlessly defiant, I'M
faltering in his hatred of hum
bug and sham, unwavering in
his denunciation of hypocrisy
and fa1sehood. It would have
been strange if such a life had
not ended by violence. ~
Brann in his home was like
other men, gentle and kindly.
Toward the public he was an
uncomfortable sort of person.
Pungency was his quality
above all, pungency and ag-
gressiveness. Like ammonia
it is an excellent disinfectant,
but it is not favored as a per
fume. Brann was a good deal
of social disinfectant and it
did not NAL him friends with
those whose nostrils he at
tackled. g ill.,.
Better work may be done. by
better ways. Jesus, the great
est teacher of men, spoke often
encouragingly, once only it is
recorded with scorn. The Icon
clast was fierce in every line;
wholesome, as ammonia is
wholesome, but never winning.
Truth at the point of a bayonet
makes a few genuine converts.
Brann is dead and the Icono-
clast perishes with him; he
leaves no successor whether
any tries to take up his work
or not. He was unique per-
sonality, a daring type, a use
full excoriator. We shall do
we'll if we hate lie as earnest
ly, thoroughly, genuinely as he
did, if we venerate what is rot
ten as little, if we hold to what
is true as steadfastly and if we
care not what becomes of our
own little selves so we do the
work for; which we are appoint
ed as he did: His invective,
approaching vituperation, is
easily initiated by many who
have not his mastery flow of
scorn, sarcasm and speech.
His finer traits are not 50 read

ing are no measure of it's cost.
Therefore it is not an equita bic
assessment.
Consider minute. The
court discovers that the con-
stitutional right of trial by
jury does not apply; the court
has ample jurisdiction. Pres
emily the case of Texas against
Rockefeller is presented; the
court holds that the federal
jurisdiction does not begin UNI
til the state has exhausted it's
resources; therefore Rookie
Teller has committed no offense
against the antitrust law that
they can contemplate.
And now this case of the
railroads appealing from the
state of Tennessee-certainly;
jurisdiction to burn; relief OF
any kind granted while you
wait. The states assessment
is an inpert1nance because it
was never like that before, and
anyway the road didn't cost
what it would sell for. And
for such frivolous reasons the
court oversets all the labor and
study that the assessors have
given and serenely stalks
across the states authority.
And we talk about going to
war for the sake of Cuba.

Whether there is any plot or
not, good many property hold

tax on every piece put up.

A Hint to Women They VIII Not BE
Slow TO Fake.

Women win husbands by their beau
ty. 1t is mistake to think that man
does not pay much attention to his wife's
beauty after marriage. He is always
charmed by her good looks, vivacity
and bright appearance.
These attributes of beauty depend en-
tirely on her maintaining good health.
The prudent wife, therefore, will not al
low her personal attractions to fade.
She will not permit her complexion to
lose it's roses, her face to become sal
low, her lips purple or colorless, her
eyes heavy and crows feet to appear
under the eyelids through the weakness,
nervousness, ailments, and the cares
and worries so common to women. She
cannot be bright, joyous and happy
with the weight of female weakness and
disease dragging her down with its
train of weakening and exhausting
symptoms headache, backache and ner-
vouS exhaustion.

Champion Rat Catching Dog Failed to
Catch-The Rodents Scared to Death.
A considerable crowd collected yester-
day afternoon about O'Clock in York
Square, near Broadway, to witness a
rat killing. A large cage containing
four big rats that had been caught in a
nearby store was taken into the street
and dog famous in the neighborhood
as a rat catcher was called into requisi-
ton. The cage was opened few
inches and amid the breathless silence
of the crowd rat was loosed. AS he
jumped from the cage the dog looked
serenely on while his ratship scurried
for safety The crowd took up the
chase which the dog refused and with
clubs, canes grips and sundry deadly
weapons Of like nature started for the
terrified rat, which was finally scared
to DEATH A like process was followed
in the slaughter of the other three rats,
the champion rat catching dog of the
Ninth ward refusing to catch and gazed
on the fracas with evident enjoyment.
