Az ugly rumor obtains 10 the effect
that j. Pierpont Morgan and other
notorious financial sharks, with large
Interests in Spanish bonds, secured
by concessions on Cuba, are moving
heaven and earth to secure finding
by the court of inquiry that will be
against the theory of Spanish treach-
cry and guilt. With such a finding
they hope to make proposition
through President Mckinley where
by this government will offer to buy
Cuba, paying the Spaniards $500, OOO,-
600 therefor. La other words this
Morgan " Co., want the United States
government to betray the confidence
of every man enlisted under the Stars
and Stripes, and doomed to everlast-
ing disgrace, SO that they may re-
ceive their money out of the millions
they would have Uncle Sam pay for
the war dessolatcd island. Nothing
is said as to how the patriot Cubans
would take to such a program. 1t
has been supposed they were fighting
for independence and not merely for
change of ownership. -Postvllle

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900.
Mark Hanna Against War.

The owner of President Mckinley,
who occupies seat in the United
States Senate by purchase, says there
will not be war with Spain on ac-
count of the Maine disaater or any
other cause. He thinks the murder
of women and children in Cuba is not
crime that calls for movement in
the United States for its suppression.
Mark Hanna is simply a cold blooded
corrupt politician having no admira-
tian for anything outside of trust.
But the people of this government
are learning the despicable character
of the Mark Hannas. They have be-
gun to understand that the Office
power are too closely allied to be en-
trusted with a longer lease of legisla-
tive and administrative power; that
they are unpatriotic and dishonest.
Had the United States recognized
the belligerency of the Cuban Repub-
lie two years ago, there would be no
war on that island today and at least
five hundred thousand lives would
have been saved. The Maine would
not have been blown up, and there
could be no cause for war between
this country and Spain. Therefore
for the present condition, and the
starvation and cruel murders in Gu
ba, the United States is responsible,
as it will be for the expense of the
war almost sure to come. 1t is too
grave an outcome of neglected duty
to warrant precipitancy now. What
ever time is necessary to get ready
for the conflict should be taken. In
this the administration is exhibiting
some capacity; but when ready no
delay must be made. The Spanish
4 government and its butchers have no
right to expect delay and must be
taught to respect the rights of hu-
manity. 1t is the most uncivilized
government on the globe except Tur-
key.-National Republican.

/. An UnpunishabIe swindle.

There is something new in The line of
swindling and it is successful. The
swindlers get possession of a lot of
counterfeit lottery tickets with blank
spaces for numbers. When there is
lottery drawing in Europe or elsewhere
they obtain the printed lists of winning
tickets, the numbers of which are then
inserted In the blank spaces. They
make no attempt to palm these tickets
off upon the lottery companies. That
would lead to immediate detection, as
the genuine tickets are all registered.
The plan is to sell the counterfeits at
discount or to pledge them as security
for loans. AS dealing in lottery tickets
is violation of the law in this country,
the victims of the swindle have little
chance of obtaining redress through the
courts. The swindle has been worked
successfully in all the large cities of the
country during the last year, and the
victims are numbered by the thousand,
in spite of the almost daily warnings
IL NSEdpCI iepufiS concerning III
sorts of bunko games. One of the swim
dlers who made the mistake of sending
tickets to victims by mail has been ar
rested in Cleveland, on a charge of us
ing the mails for fraudulent purposes.
After 90 years of legal fighting, main
ly in the federal courts, a Lenvenworth,
Kan, woman, who was bound to recover
the insurance on her husbands life, got
the state administration to back her in
sui, in the Kansas state courts. and at
last secured $22, lG0, which included in
tercst on the policies of one company.
OF this sum the lawyers got half, UNI
der he original contract made when the
suit was first instituted. During the
pendency of the suit the woman mar
red again. She says that the company
from which she recovered had been
"sandhagged" by its own Kansas attor-
neys She expects now that other COM
panies concerned will pay up.

the mind in such way that they will hover
