The following is an extract from
the presidents speech delivered Jan
uary q, at the feast of the gold
standard plutocracy Of new York:
There is another duty resting
upon the national government-to
coin money and regulate the value
thereof This duty requires that our
government shall regulate the value
of its money by the highest stand
ards OF commercial honesty and ma
tional honor. The money of the
United States is, and must forever
be, unquestioned and unassailable.
II doubts remain they must be re-
moved. If weak places are discov-
cred they must be strengthened.
Nothing should ever tempt us-noth-
ing ever will tempt us-to scale
down tine sacred debt of the nation
through legal technically. What
ever may be the language OF the con-
tract, the United States will dis
charge all its obligations in the
currency recognized as the best
throughout the civilized world at the
time Of payment. Nor will we ever
consent that the wages Of labor or
its frugal savings shall be scaled
down, BY permitting payment in dol
lars Of less value than the dollars
accepted as the best in every en-
lightened nation of the earth.
"Under existing conditions our
citizens cannot be excused if they do
not redOuble their efforts to secure
such financial legislation as will
place their honorable intentions be-
yond dispute. All those who repre>
sent, as you know, the great conser,
vatIve and the progressive business
interests of the country, owe it not
only to themselves, but to the people,
to insist upon the settlement of this
great question now, or else to face
the alternative that it must be again
submitted for arbitration al the
polls. This is our plain duty to
more than seven million voters who

Every day or 50 the kilograms from
Oklahoma recount the arrest of some
cotton raiser for "in.stacking" or
"water-weighing," and these terms
have no doubt puzzled the wheat and
corn growers of Kansas. Frank Mont
gomerY explains this odd nOmencla-
ture: 'In-Stacking' means that a
dishonest seller has burrowed hole
in his cotton bale and filled it with
stones or old iron. "Water.weighing''
means the same thing, except that
the center Of the bale is saturated
with water To make it more clear,
it may be said that it is pretty nearly
the same process as that employed by
the Kansas farmer who molds a thin
veneer around lump of salt and sells
it for a pound Of butter.

Spain's First Move.

London. April 30.-The departure of
the Spanish fleet from the Cape Verde
islands Is regarded as the first really
important news of the war. No further
information has been received here as
To it's destination. but II is considered
not unlikely hat IL will go to the
Canary stands to- await reinforcements
from Cadiz. without which IL is con-
sidered a hopeless task to attempt to
attack Rear Admiral SIMPSONS feet.
IL Is also supposed that IL may at
tempt to intercept the American cruis-

tempt To lombard the United states

Apart from admiration of the courage
that ventures upon a conflict with an
overwhelmingly superior antagonist.
Russia has received a severe blow in
the suspected friendly agreement be-

The Russians don't forget placing their

are bitterly aggrieved that the United

Will Fight Under Gomez.

New York. April pa special to the
Press from Key West says: A big ex-
petition of independent Cubans will
leave here on Friday for the eastern
part of Cuba. The expedition is COM
posed of men who for some weeks have
been anxious to reach Garcia's army
with the hope that they will be in at
the wind-up of the eastern cities. A
portion of them We're i'm an expedition
which was to go before val was de-
clared. They refrained from going only
because of the strict watch kept on
them.
Since war has been declared they
have peer thoroughly organized and
are now equipped and drilled for serv-
ice in the field. MANY of them have
heretofore refrained from going to
Cuba becaus they Were of more serv-
ice i'm this country, aiding the cuban
party by contributions. They will take
a quantity of guns and ammunition
and land where hey a connect at
once with Garcia or General Mendocal.
The expedition is not a filibuster ex-
petition. The Cubans In ii desired To
enlist i'm the United states army, but
decided IL was better to go in first.
They will be followed by other parties
who are preparing to go, and will, in
reality. be the vanguard of the Cubans
returning to fight under Gomez, Garcia
and others.
In a few days the Nunez expedition.
which will be sanctioned by the United
States and conveyed by gunboats, VIII
leave for some point on the coast.
MANY of those now going believe that
the proper thing To do is to get across
the gulf before SPANS fleet reaches
his side and thus guard against pos
sible cider
