Silverites Assemble.

Local Democrats held rally Tuesday
evening '.just to keep up interest," but
incidentally to do some loud shouting
for free silver, and this they did to the
perfect satisfaction of the fifty or less
Bryanites who assembled. Rev. Fred.
Cutler, president of the club. opened the
meeting with stirring appeal to the
members ito keep together and in
troduced the speakers who were ex-
Senator R. S. Kuhl of Pennington. Hon.
Amos Evans and J r. Salmon of Boon
ton. Their speeches were of the usual
red-hot silverite order; founded upon the
Chicago platform Of '96.

AT THE meeting of the Fourth Con-
gressional District Democrats held in this
city on Tuesday night it was apparent
that the Free Silver element would con
troll the party in Morris, as well as in
Warren, Hunterdon and Sussex counties.
Ex-senator Kuhls' speech would have
pleased the most ardent Bryanite, while
the whole tenor of the gathering favored
organization along the lines of the cam
paign of '96. With the Hon. Johnston
Cornish Congressional candidate, Mr..
Sslmons' anti-monoply speech will prove
interesting reading.

The MEMORIAL DAY oBsERvANcgs


We cordially agree with many of our
exchanges in declaring the general cele-
brations of Memorial Day throughout
the country on Monday last to have been
more animated, and perhaps more inter
esting, than in any previous year. The
same, we believe. may be said OF its OBJ
seryance at Morristown and vicinity. To
the exercises here we give considerable
space in other columns.
A feature of the occasion was the nm
mistakable atmosphere of sturdy and con
ident Americanism. broad-minded and
buoyant, that asserted its pre- eminence
everywhere. The war veterans. into
whose ranks the seythe of the Reaper is
annually cutting wide swaths, marched,
it seemed, with more than former elast
icity. and the drums and the music mace
ont clearer and more inspiring notes than
before. All over the country the odes,
orations. songs and addresses breathed of
the war and burned with themes of re-
united nationality and renewed love of
country. The silent outposts of the Gem
eteries, that forever stand sentry about
the eternal camps of the country's dead,
would have rejoiced, were not their
pulseless hearts forever stilled, to know
that the living of the land they died for
are today afeId and afoat. moving to ac-
ton as one man, marching to the airs
they knew, and making for the glory of
the nation and the flag they served.

CUBAN COOPERATION.

Much, very much, was undoubtedly
expected by the country, in the way of
effective armed cooperation with the
Cuban invading army, from the insur-
gent forces always represented to be
numerous and many of them equipped
for important combats under superior
leadership and with American assistance.
Those of the Cubans deficient in muskets
were said to be wild for guns TO meet
and master the battalions of Spain. In
deed, some enthusiastic official of the
Junta declared that if the insurgents
were given arms and ammunition there
would be no need for an American sol
der to touch Cuban soil, since the hosts
of Gomez could wipe the Spaniard off
the earth.
We are bound to believe that these
persistent and repeated representations
influenced the earlier plans and prepare
lions of the national authorities looking
to military operations either in or in ref
erenee to Cuba. and that. its discovery
that some of the essential things relied on
do not in truth exist has had to do with
the apparent INDIGESTION and delays of the
movement toward invasion.
We recall that a week or two ago an
American vessel with arms, munitions
and supplies for the insurgents for days
beat about the Cuban coast at points well
known to be within the insurgent lines,
all the while straining her eyes for the
signal to land, that no living sign was
made. and that she had to put back into
Key West from a tedious and fruitless
cruise. In neither of our naval sorties at
points remote from the immediate arma-
ments of the enemy has the American
eye once been cheered by an insurgent
ensign shaken out from ever so safe and
distant height. Certainly, it would APP
pear, if there are any real insurgents in
all the vast stretch of mountainous inte-
rior claimed for them to be their invul-
nerable possession the thunder guns of
Uncle Sam should have awakened and
hurried one or two to the hilltops.
From these and like premises we rea-
son that the administration, though deli
cately avoiding all outward token of
natural disappointment at the paucity Of
Cuban co-operatives in the war, is still
thoroughly cognizant of the fact and will
rely hereafter as it would undoubtedly
have preferred to do at all times solely
on American courage, tactics and guns
for the successes of the war.
And we are accordingly impressed with
a presentiment that no invasion of Hav-
ana will be undertaken for months, if in
deed at all, since the trend of events fore
shadows, we think, an early cessation of
the struggle. If the American navy con-
tinues to bottle up Spanish fleets and to
batter down Spanish forts Spain will be
left no means to defend her sea islands,
and will have none to defend, for that
matter. 1t will come hard, no doubt, to
surrender a hundred thousand troops in
Havana, and especially without show
of fight, but we think that under the Sc
ductive spell of our captivating naval
attentions at Manila, San Juan and San
tiago, Spain might be persuaded to hand
over Havana without holes in it.

CERvERA.


The erratic maneuverings of CeFvera's
Spanish fleet for many days were fit
tingly capped by his plunge into the
sealed harbor of Santiago Whether
this Spaniard shall continue to funk or
whether he shall be forced at last to bat
tie, his head will have to answer to the
heartless nation in whose name he has
been consuming coal and garlic. While
by dark, swift and elusive tactics he was
puzzling the naval world he kept it high
in expectancy of some sudden and daz-
zling feat. His fracture of all admiration
through contemplate refuge in land
locked port after such buster and folly
has afforded dismal background upon
which is now being projected the empty
record of his journeyings from Cape
Verde to Cuba. He has never fired a
cartridge nor made capture. He has
never made show of fight. Through
his fleet or past its tanks at least four
American ships have made their way I'M
seen or unhindered, namely, the Paris,
the Oregon, the Marietta and the Nicthe-
roy. Cervera's career has been fruitless
and short, and his body will be head
shorter when Spain makes up the reck-
oning of his naval stewardship.

THE Chinese, according to the style of
their warrior forefathers. equipped their
legions with wood pulp fans and bamboo
parasoIs, and then dared Japan to battle.
The peculiar armament of the Chinaman
interested the world at the same time
that with modern rifles Japan was inter-
esting the Chinaman. On the sea, how
ever, forsaking her junks for armorclads,
China put up a pretty smart fight, at
Yalu, for instance. Her commodore
didn't, like the Spaniard Cervera. pre-
fer bottling TO battling. He didn't tale
any Santiago in his'n.

J. WILLIAM BURNS.

j. William Burns, who has lived all
his life in Morristown. committed suicide
at his home on Mt. Kemble avenue on
Wednesday by inhaling Illuminating
gas. 1t appears that Mr.. Burns had
been i'll for a considerable time and
greatly feared paresis, which his family
physician had informed him was
impending. On Tuesday night he arrang-
ed with Mrs. Burns to go to Newark the
following morning to transact some bus
mess for him, sending his little daughter
to spend the day with relative. When
the family had left the house on Wed
nesday he connected a rubber tubing to
a gas fixture in the library, inserting the
other end in his mouth, and then laid
down upon couch where his lifeless
body was found by Mrs. Burns on her
return about o'clock. death having APP
parently ensued several hours before.
Coroner Wilkinson was called, who de-
cided that an inquest was unnecessary.
The act was clearly committed while he
was laboring under temporary insanity
Mr.. Burns was well known in Morris
town. For several years he was in Run
yon's book store. afterwards filling an
1 important position in the postoffice. For
many years he had been an agent for the
Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York.

AGAIN the dispatches tell us that the
Spaniard is about to sue for peace. Pitt
able imbecilei Does he imagine he can
have shocked the centuries with un-
namable enormities, have Redeemed the
seas by piratical conquests, dealt horror
and death to Gods people everywhere,
and yet hope TO escape the retrlbution set
apart for just such monstersl And now,
having enthusiastically plucked the beard
of Uncle Sam and ranked him to reluc-
tant war, the crafty Spaniard dreams to
avert the inevitable, to bamboozle fate,
to save his ships, his colonies and his hide
by suing for peace before we've got a
solid grip on his nape! Not bit of it.
