SUICIDE AND FAILURE
Follow injudicious and Secret Loaning of

PHILADELPHIA Pa, March 25.-The
sudden death yesterday of John S. Hop
kins. cashier Of the Peoples Bank, and
Guarantors Finance Company, We're fol-
lowed to-day by disclosures which showed
an important connection between the two
events.
The coroner's investigation this after
noon developed the fact hitherto con-
cealed by the family that Hopkins had
committed suicide by shooting himself,
Peoples Bank by its officers, resulted in
the revelation that Hopkins had, during
the past two years, loaned the bank 5
funds in large amounts to Richard F.
Lopez. general manager Of the Guaran-
tors Finance Company. These loans,
which remain unpaid, and aggregate, il
is said, over six hundred thousand dol
lars, were made wholly without the
knowledge of the officers and directors of
the bank. The securities given by Lopez
as collateral for the loans We're found.
according TO the statement of one of the
bank officials, to have very little value.
In consequence of these relations, the
bank to-day closed its doors Indefinitely.
1t is the general belief in financial
circles hat the bank will pay dollar for
dollar to it's creditors. President Me-
Names is reputed to be worth at least
ten million dollars, and he is credited
with the statement that he would see
that no creditor of the bank lost a cent.

THE STORY OF THE STEERAGE.

There is a vast difference" said
an officer of a Cunard steamship, be
tween the appearance of Storage pas
sengers returning to Europe and
those coming to America.
"On the westward voyage the faces
of the immigrants are bright with ex-
pectancy and hope. Some of them
have doubtless lain awake at night
dreaming of the new land. You can
see that they have been inspired by
the roseate visions painted for them
by their friends and relatives who
have succeeded on this side of the
water Those who go back to stay
are not many. You can pick them out
by their detected looks. They have
not succeeded. They have found that
hard work is just as necessary to get
along in the States as it is in Europe.
The great majority of the immi-
grants stay. From my observations
for the last fifteen years aboard ship,
| think | am competent to say that
America gets the very best of the
European blood Dawdlers stay at
home. 1t is usually only the ener-
getic and adventurous that cut loose
from ties in the Old World. Forty-siX
per cent of the steerage passengers
have their steerage passage TO Amer
lea paid by their relatives and friends
who have in measure succeeded over

a rule, they have won it by we'll di-

WHAT CUE. NEEDS OF Us,

Mckinley proposes to eliminate the

ton except as an incident That may,
therefore. be considered as disposed Of.
E1e proposes to declare that Ameri-
cans will carry food and clothing to

pose Spain says she has no objection
to this display of humanity That fea-
ture will be disposed Of
We can carry food and clothing to
the Cubans indefinitely, while Spain
continues her heartless warfare against
freedom and humanity, and in no way
does anything to better conditions
With Uncle Sam feeding the Cuban
subjects of Spain, that country will be
in all the better condition to give her
attention to murder and rapine while
American interests continue to suffer
and Cuban freedom becomes prospect
more remote.
We do not want to feed the Cubans,
date necessities make such work
Christian charity. What the American
people want is to see Cuba free and
able to feed herself A declaration for
Cuban freedom coupled with declara-
ton of our intention to succor the dy-
ing is the only sort of policy that
Americans will tolerate.

good faith by Spain. what will he


do?
The people are tired Of waiting
They are tired of hearing of the awful
conditions in Cuba. They are willing
to succor the starving Cubans, but
they want the conditions which render
the giving of aims necessary, re-
moved
If Spain agrees to allow this country
to send aid to Cuba, it will knock ont
at once all of Mckinley's schemes
for forcing an issue, but the real
issue, the freedom Of Cuba and the
rehabilitation of American interests
in Cuba will remain, and the admin
istration will be compelled to seek a
new point from which to attack the
Spanish policy.
1t would be better to come to the
point. There's no use beating about
the bush What Americans want is
the freedom of Cuba and immediate
discontinuance of the starvation, bru-
talitv. bloodshed and murder on the
island.
1t has got to come sooner or later,
and it is not likely to come without
something more forcible than diplo-
matte hedging and see-sawing.
II is the administration duty to ex-
press the wish of the American people,
and declare that Cuba is to be free
Immediately even if the American
army and navy are needed to bring it
about.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the famous
wOman's rights advocate, is pushing
remonstrance before the New York
Board of Health against the crying of
three children belonging to a family
that occupies a fiat near her. She
wants the crying stopped, and declares
that her nerves are terribly unstrung
By the wailing OF the little ones. 1t is
not alleged that crying is caused by
cruelty on the part of the parents, and
it is not TO be inferred that there is
more crying in that household than in
the average household of three small
children. It would seem that normal
woman who championed women's
rights would at the same time. as a
natural consequence, champion the
rights of children, and who can deny,
if he has had any experience, that to
cry is one Of the natural and inherent
rights of early childhood. To say the
least, Elizabeth is inconsistent.
