THE CONVICTION OF lola.

If the sentimental traveller had wit
messed the proceedings in the lola trial
he would have said they order these
things better in England and America.
To an American the lola trial has ap-
peared to be nothing but travesty
upon justice. Zolas guilt was assumed
from the first. and upon him was
placed the burden of proving his in
nocence. He would willingly have
proven his charges, and probably could,
but was not allowed to. Whenever an
important witness, such as General
Pellieux or Major Esterhazy, was
placed in the witness box, Zolas coun-
sci was not permitted to ask any ques-
ton that tended TO elicit information
going to prove anything for Zola The
witnesses were permitted to make what
are known in this country as stump
speeches, and to even denounce the de-
PENDANT. Zola may have been seeking
advertisement. but he has behaved
himself wonderfully like a man deeply
sensible that great wrong had been
done an innocent man. and that the
preparation of that wrong was a
peril TO France herself So far as the
court and the jury and the people in
the court room were concerned, every
mans hand was against him. He seems
to have had about as fair a trial as
a negro in the hands of a mob of lynch
ers. He has been convicted, but all
sense of right and justice has been
outraged to secure his conviction: he
stands before the world today more
than a convicted man; he stands forth
a victim of the rage of a Partisan mob
and a military de5potism. The future
will justify lola and condemn France.
Honor to Emile lola. who championed
the cause of freedom and justice in
France.

CUBAN INSURGENTS AND AN
NEXATION.

| That the Cuban insurgents have been
very willing for the United States to
pull the chestnuts out of the fire for
them has been evident right along; it
has also been quite as certain, but not
quite SO evident, that they did not
want the United States to keep any of
the chestnuts. 1t is most likely that at
the present time the insurgents are
somewhat aporehensive they will lose
all the chestnuts in the event of war
between this country and Spain, as the
annexation Of Cuba would be one in
evitable result of such a war. A Mr..
Martinez a Cuban residing in st. Louis,
and who is reputed to be in close touch
with the Cuban junta, says: I'VE do
not want to see the United States de-
clare war against Spain. We can win
our own independence now, and need
no Intervention. Spain realizes it, and
the Sagasta party is anxious for war
in the interests of its own selfshness,
and as the only one means left by
which it can perpetuate itself in view
of the impending crisis in Cuba"
Naturally he would be too polite to
make any mention of fears about an
nexation when speaking of the ability
of the insurgents to gain their own in
dependence, and all unaided. What Mr..
Martinez says is reinforced by what a
Cuban exile. formerly an autonomist,
but now q strong anneXationist, living
in Washington, said to the correspond
ent of the Chicago Record only last
Monday. Asked if he thought there
was the slightest possibility that the
Spanish government would consider a
proposition to sell Cuba TO the United
States, he answered:
If autonomy is a failure, IS 1 fear it
will be unless the United States gives
the present government in Cuba an
open and strong support, if Spain Is
convinced that her fight is lost, she may
perhaps sell TO the United States, but it
Will be for annexation, and not for IL
dependence.
dow would the insurgents take it?
They would accept independence, of
course, provided they were allowed to
rule the country, for that is what they
are lighting for, but they do not want
annexation any more than autonomy
under Spanish jurisdiction; that would
be the defeat Of their purpose They
say it would be a disgracefuI solution
of the problem; that 1t would be half
a victory for Spain. There is now a
contest between Spain and the insur-
gents as to which shall plumber Cuba.
There is not particle of patriotism on
either side; only personal ambition and
ave-:ce.
Could the United States subdue the
insurgents?
After determination. The Cuban
jIrta in New York. most of whom are
American citizens. and the insurgent
leaders in the field, with a few excep- |
tions, hate us as bitterly as they hate
Spain.
The Cuban insurgents want indie
pendence ard not annexation. A war
with Spain would result in annexation, |
and annexation to the United States
would forever crush all hope Of Cuban /
independence. 1t is not to be wondered |
at if the Cuban insurgents are not |
over-anxious for war between this
country and Spain.

THE BATTLE FOR FREE SILVER.

Mr.. d. II. Moffat, the Denver banker,
was in Washington the other day and
had something to say about silver. He
said that in Colorado there was no
weakening of the sentiment for the free
coinage of silver. not even in the great
mining camp of Cripple Creek, which
produces gold exclusively. In his opin-
ion, he said. this country is strong
enough to go forward and coin silver
Independently; and it was his belief
that such action on our part would
force Europe to join with us in a BIZ
metallic policy. 1T is to be regretted"
said he, that the battle for silver is
to be fought by the. Democratic party,
for those of us who believe in Republic
can principles would greatly prefer to
see silver reha bilitated under Republi-
can auspices. But it is an issue that
will not. down, and my belief is that in
1900 the verdict will be rendered in IA
vor of the white metal"
The battle for silver is to be fought
by the Democratic party, and all true
friends of silver should rally to it's
standard. As the Democratic party is
10 Dattle Tor SILVER SO the kepuDl1can
party will battle against silver and for
the single gold standard.
Today advocacy of the single gold
standard is the distinguishing feature
who favor that standard should go,
leaving behind them their old time
Today advocacy of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1 is the distinguishing
feature of the Democratic party, and
to it all who favor free silver should
go, leaving behind them their old time
AS Mr.. Moffat says. the battle for
free silver is to be fought by the Dem
party. Let all who intend to
battle for free silver do battle under
the Democratic standard.
