Virden, Ill., Oct. 17.-Willlam Patton,

made o land here the Alabama negroes
whose coming resulted in the loss of so
many lives.
There is under consideration, accord
ing to Mr.. Patton, an attempt to fix the
responsibility for the tragedy upon the
governor of Illinois. The lawyer de-
clares that 1t is the intention of the
coal company to press the matter, and
IT will be for the grand jury of Ma
coupin county to say whether Cover
nor Tanner shall answer in court.
Inside the stockade Saturday Coro-
ner art resumed the inquest over the
bodies of the victims. Three witnesses
were examined, all ex-guards of the
company.
They admitted that they were pres
ent in the fight, but denied having ta-
ken part in the battle. One witness
swore that he came here to help build
the stockade, and afterward was en-
ployed as cook. said that he, togeth-
er with about twenty five others, was
sworn in by Sheriff Davenport as dep
uties, and, so far as he knew, he was
still serving in that capacity.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II, 1898.
1t was fitting that Mr.. Perry Heath,
who is acting Postmaster General
while the Postmaster General is on
the stump, and who owes his present
position to Boss Hanna, should be
the mouthpiece of the administration
in informing the Federal oficeholders
that they are expected to pitch in and
take an active part in the Congress
sional campaign. Being newspaper
man himself, Mr.. Heath knew that
this information could be more
adroitly given through the newspapers
than by means of personal communi-
cations to the officeholders. He gave
out a carefully prepared interview
with himself, last week, in which he
invited the officeholders to come to
the rescue of the G. o. P.

1t will be as useless as that of Secre-

will probably fill in the time until af-
ter the elections.
That the authorities do not intend
to punish those guilty of neglecting
their duties in connection with the
care of our soldiers, even when their
guilt is plainly shown, is made plain
by the recommendation of Surgeon
General Sternberg in the case of Con-
tract Surgeon Tabor, who was charged
with having caused the death of Pri-
vate Hugh Parrett, at Camp Wikoff,
by his neglect and Incompetence.
The evidence taken by board of in
quiry is understood to have left no
doubt of the truth of the charge. In
stead of recommending some fitting
punishment, or that the sergeon be
declared exonerated, in accordance
with his guilt or innocence, Surgeon
General Sternberg merely recon-
mends that DR.. Tabor's contract as an
army surgeon be cancelled, which is,
in effect, declaring him guilty and then
letting him 20 without punishment.

TO attend races where the entries are

that eighty entries have been closed for

The attention of gentlemen who in
sisted that the adoption of a protec-
tive tariff would increase prices to
consumers is respectfully called to the
fact that a late report from Boston
shows that print cloths are selling lat
the lowest point ever known in the
trade, Is cents for regular 64x64
cuts. Add to this the fact that the
largest sales of shoes ever known
have been made this year, that prices
of shoes, lumber, tin plate, iron, steel,
coal, and many other articles are
quoted at less than a year ago, and
you find how little reliance can be
placed upon the statements and argu
ments of those opposing the protec-
tive tariff system under which such
stimulus has just been given to the
business interests of the country. and
under which such prosperity has pre-
vailed in former years.

rhe Presidents MESSAGE.

President McKinley's message on
the American Cuban Spanish ques-
ton was submitted 10 Congress Mon
day noon.
The message is dignifed and con-
sentative in tone, as becomes the Of
tcial utterances of the chief executive
of this great nation But the very
temperatures which commends the
message to conservative. thinking
men, has aroused the antagonism of
jingoes. An unfortunate result of this
has been an apparent inclination to
make political issue of the question.
In the present crisis, when the ques-
ton in point is of such vital interest
to the American press and people,
and the feeling is so intense, the best
way to obtain an impartial opinion of
the message is to go abroad.
How is the message received
abroad? Almost without exception
the foreign press-Spain of course
eXcepted-regard the message as able
and forcible, but what is more import
ant to us, they look upon it as justi-
flying the position taken by the United
States in this issue with Spain, and as
giving good and sufficient reason why
We resort to arms. That is the i'm
partial view of the Presidents mes
sage; that is the view we would have
future generations take of it.
The President, after stating the
question clearly and COMPREHENSIVE,
says in effect: This is the situation.
Diplomacy has been exhausted; it be-
comes necessary to adopt more siren
uous measures. The war in Cuba
must be terminated. | recommend
armed Intervention and ask Congress
for its support in that direction.
The most serious division threat
ened in Congress on the message, was
on the question of recognizing Cuban
independence. which the message did
not recommend in terms This dan
ger of division is greatly lessened by
later Interpretation Of the message.
Yesterday Congressman Grosvenor,
Of Ohio, who is recognized as the
Presidents spokesman on the floor of
the House, interpreted the recon-
mendation of the President to mean
request for authority to establish in
Cuba a government independent of
Spain.
AS THE AMERICAN goes to press
Congress is graphing with the issue
1t is believed the Presidents recon-
mendations will be adopted in sub
stance.
Armed intervention in Cuba means
war with Spain.

What Would Happen.

A bluff old Rockiand sea captain re-
turned recently from a Cuban port where
among other experiences he had a short
interview with a Spanish officer. The
latter appeared to think that the attitude
of Uncle Sam in even dreaming of war
with such a powerful country as Spain
was an audacious act.
why said he to the captain, "w hat
would you Yankees do if %, 900 of our
troops should land in New York city?

captain, why d it, sir, the police
would arrest EN-.
