THERE ARE MANY OF THEM

This is the way that &c. K" in
the Sacramento Bee dishes up a
class of men who are numerous in
every community:
We may be wrong-we do not
claim to be in touch with the Lord
we are not so blasphemous as to
believe that the inner workings of
His marvellous plans have been re-
vealed to us-we do not know what
may be the thoughts of Infinity
upon that subject-but we do think
that the highest crime in the sight
of heaven should be hypocrisy. We
have admiration for vigorous,
sturdy specimen of masculinity-
great in his few vices, may be, but
magnificent in his friendship, grand
in his manhood, ever in the sun
light, a good friend to his friends,
and square fighter to enemies
such a man is to us an admiration
and beau-ideal. His sins become
white in the waters of his sincerity,
and he stands a man among men,
lion in the great path of human
natures daily walks. But a man
who is vacillating-a man who
courts the shadows-a man who
greets friend and foe alike-a man
who gives smile to his benefactor
in the sunshine, and turns to him
the lips of Judas as the darkness
gathers around-a man who sneers
at religion with the publicans and
beats his breast with the Pharisees
such man is to US as repugnant
as venomous snake.
And yet it is too often just that
kind of men who succeed in this
world, men upon whose carcasses
the scalpel would not indicate the
trace of gizzard, nor reveal the
prior existence Of drop of blood.
Still it is doubtful ifin their heart
of hearts they really think they
have voluntarily conferred upon
all decent men the right to despise
them.

Ex-GovERNoR CoLooRD, in a re-
cent interview published in the
Washington Post, is credited with
saying that during his travels in
the past few weeks he has found the
most bitter opposition everywhere
to the Republican gold standard
policy and intimates that the party
cannot win on that issue in the
campaign of 1900.
Well, what is the Governor and
his friends OF the Republican faith
in Nevada going to do aboutit. The
actions of Mr.. Colcord in politics in
this State and the above statement
from him shows that about all his
class thinks of any party is to get
what they can out of it in the shape
OF patronage.

A BIG BLUFF.

Congress has passed, unanimous
ly, bill appropriating $50,000,000
for war purposes. AS it is not at
all likely that there will be war,
this act can be considered as a great
bluff. Should it be possible that a
little scrimmage should occur, the
money will be spent quickly. Con-
tractors will get fat for time and a
few of the unemployed thousands
will get work. 1t is good thing to
spend the money. The appropria-
ton ought to be raised to S50O,OOO,-
600 or double that. About the time
it was spent this country would be
convinced that it could not do bust
ness and carry on war on gold
basis, and silver States would then
be recognized as of some importance.
The Silver States, Nevada particu-
larly, made it possible for the gov
eminent to pay its war claims in
the time of the war of the rebellion,
and if there is war now they will
ultimately be called upon to fur
nish the spondulix to settle the
costs with.

Long Island CranberrIes.

Ihe cranberry growers of the east
ern end of Long Island are now har-
Vesting the crop Of 1897, which prom
ises to be an unusually large one. The
berries are also very fine, being large
and sound and have an excellent flavor.
This section of the island has quite
number of marshes, most all of them
being under constant cultivation and
growing large quantities of berries.
Long Island cranberries always find a
ready market and at good figure. The
price paid this year will undoubtedly
be at least So per bushel. A cranberry
marsh needs little or no fertilizer, the
most essential point being to see that
the marsh is flooded with water at the
right time and drawn off with equal
precision. In consequence of this there
Is very little labor and less still Of
capital needed in conducting a cram
perry marsh after the ground is pre-
pared, the plants set out, and the
marsh Is in growing condition. This, of
couse, is expected during the harvest
ing period, when for the space of six
weeks or two months the owner is busy
looking after his crop. The largest
cranberry grower on the island is Syl-
Vester N. Woodruff of Riverhead.
About twelve years ago he prepared
twenty-five acres of seemingly value
less low land as cranberry field and
II now yields as great a profit as any
equal acreage in Suffolk county. This
year Mr.. Woodruff will spend about
$4,000 in harvesting his crop, while as
return he will secure upward of So
0O0.-Long Islander.

To the Editor:-The affairs of Cuba
have reached a crisis. Spain tries by
perhdious diplomacy to win where her
sword has failed, The offer of au-
tonomy is a device to change Ene pa
trlotic sentiment of America, and to
betray Cuba by false promises. In
this way she triumphed twenty years
ago, This time she must fail. Au-
tonomy is another term for imposi-
ton and fraud. The Cuban League of
the United States has long since ex-
posed and condemned this hypocrisy.
Since then more interested forces have
supplemented this opinion. The states
men of Cuba repudiate it. The COM
mandeTs in the field say "Indcpend-
enco or Death" The late American
minister to Spain proclaims it to be
an impraeticable sham. More than all
this, in the city of New York recently
a meeting of Cubans, who together
represented more than one-half the
property values of the entire island,
merchants, bankers and planters in
exile, who today bear the burdens of
the war by their contributions to its
treasury, in very decided language de-
clared that no offer from Spain will
be considered short of absolute indie
pendence. All that remains is that we
should now move steadily onward to
the assured victory which this league
has heretofore pledged. Our duty is
to influence the representatives in
congress to grant belligerent rights.
The senate has already done so. Be-
fore the New Year is ushered in may
the lower house respond. Then log
ioally follows independence. The pres
ident must not falter now, and it is
the duty of this league to see to it
that he shall not. Win you give this

An assassin made an attempt upon
the life of the President of Mexico He
was arrested and held in confinement.
By the connivance of the chief of po-
lice, a mob gained possession Of his
person and put him to DEATH Their
act of violence was intended as an act
Of devotion TO, and affection for, a wise
and good ruler. To the president him
self the form of the compliment robbed
1t of its value. It's lawlessness de-
feated his purpose to give the criminal
a fair trial. He held those who took
the mans life in a vulgar fury to be
guilty of murder. Accordingly he
caused the arrest of the chief of police,
who, after confessing his fault, com
mitted suicide in prison Other per-
sons in authority, who had approved
or failed to resist the attack upon the
assassin, were promptly deposed from
office; and twenty-one participants in
the actual killing Of the man were ar
rested and held for trial. This is the
way President Diaz deals with lynchers
and their abetters. 1t is a good way.
1t emphasizes the fact that mob ven
geance, while it may seem an act of
justice in the abstract, really defeats
justice and imperils society by it's
method.
