CHAUNCEN VI. DEPEW ON PES
SINlISNI

u is a great pity that The Hon. Chaun-
Of himself. lie is man OF great ability
and OF the most genial nature. kind
hearted and considerable If no had never
told a joke or made a pun he would to-
day be a great power for good. But as 1t
is few persons take him seriously when
he wants 20 be so considered. and most
persons pass by anything they see his
name connected with as something frivo-
lous and trihing. Of course.
It rs the earnest and serious man who
impresses men. and the joker passes Of
the stage. grinning under his cap, and
juggling his bells.
But. as we have said, Depew is man
Of ability and Of fine impulses. and we
have met with nothing OF late more timely
than his speech last Saturday night in
New York city at the Montauk Club upon
the pessimism Of tho men Of the day
who are always declaiming upon the de-
cadence Of our citizenship that the accu-
cumulations Of wealth are bringing about.
Most wisely and we'll ola Mr. Depew
point out that the whole people Of the
United States were never so powerful or
so prosperous, or. collectively and indi-
vdually possessed so much in oppor-
tunity. I'm liberty in education. in employ
ment. I'm wages, of men who from nothing
have become powers in the community.
and boys who from poverty have secured
education and attained competence as to-
day.
And how are our people who have no,
thing to better their condition through
the exercise Of their talents and energies
IL there are no stores Of accumulated
wealth? Elk nihilo. nihn fit. You can't
make money unless there is money TO be
made The man with nothing will never
make something out Of men who, like
himself. have nothing. II Is the men Of
means from whom he must expect 70
secure that which will elevate him I'm life
and bring him comfort and happiness.
His brains and his energies are useless to
him unless he can get the aid Of capital;
but give him the assistance OF that and
he attacks conditions successfully and.
becomes well provided for cyhen he would
have remained in misery and want.
But the philosophers Of the pesslmst
school say this eager pursuit Of wealth
degrades character and debauches our
citizenship. We utterly deny it. We in
sist that the Anglo-Saxon race have never
had as fine development as it has this
day i'm the United States. The women
are chaste and matronly and the men
are virile and equal TO any test. When
our war with Spain called our young men
to the front none rushed forward more
eagerly than the sons Of our wealthy
men, and none were reader to endure
every hardship and offer their lives as a
sacrifice to their country than they. 1t is
a libel upon our people to say that they
are retrograding and the wealthy main
tain the high place Of the race as cred
itably as any other part Of the popula-
ton.

MAY ABOLISH THE SYSTEM.
IncOmmunicadO Rule Doesn't Go
with Americans.

Havana, March S1--The whole question
of Imprisonment incommunieado by the
Cuban authorities has been brought con-
spicuously to the attention of Gov. Gen.
Brooke by such experiences as that Of the
American. Dr. c. c. Jollifre. recently ar
rested for practicing medicine without a
license who was kept incommunicado for
two days.
This method of administering justice,
with others equally harsh. such as the ar
rest of witnesses and the absence of trial
by jury is still regularly resorted TO un-
der the new regime, as under the old and
the very Cubans who used to complain
bitterly of the mcommunlcado imprison-
ment under the Spanish domination, now
apply it with all its rigors.
Chief of Police Menocal, the judges ana
the court jailors have been protesting
against the refusal Of Gov. Gen. Brooke
to allow them TO keep DR.. Jolliffe and MIR.
Barton, another American. and friend
of Jolliffe, incommunicado; and the mill
itary administration now contemplates is
suing decree abollshing the ineommuni-
cado system.
Gen. Brooke will abolish the local tri-
Ounal of administrative contentious, com
posed OF certain judges and officials who
have had the determination of a special
class of legal questions. and the litigation
that formerly came within the jurisdiction
of this court Is hereafter TO be dealt with
by the civil branch of the audienca OF
Havana.
The governor general win also abolish
the dues heretofore paid 10 the govern
ment for issuing professional and academic
degrees, which are TO be issued hereafter
free of cost.
Gen, Gomez has received liter from the
Taadrld brothers, well known merchants

murderers, and asking him to advise them

sition he has no official authority TO take

BODY OF MISS HOFFMAN.
Supposed TO Have Been Recovered
From Windsor's Ruins.

New York, April lat 1:S0 O'Clock this
morning the workmen in the ruins of the
Windsor Hotel discovered the body of a
woman, which was almost intact.
When the body was raised a gold watch
fell from it. On the outside OF the watch
case was the word Dora"
It is belied the body is that OF Miss Dora
Hoffman Of Baltimore Miss Hoffman was
a guest at the hotel at the time OF the
fire and has been counted among the miss
ing since then.
Shortly after the body, which is supposed
to be that of Miss Hoffman was found, an
other body, which, to all appearances is
that of an old woman, was discovered. IL
is well preserved and Is supposed to be
that of the woman who lived with Miss
Hoffman.
The total dead Of the Windsor Hotel fire
now numbers 43. or these 80 are unidenti-
fled bodies.
The funeral Of the victims of the fire
will take place on Monday or Tuesday next

GUS and broken-down. At the hotel II

A boat in charge of the chief officer cap

The steamer Honfieur returned Tonight
after having made the circle OF the cas-

Many pathetic incidents are reported. In
several cases men lifted their wives and
children into the boats and then perished
themselves in their presence. One wife,
who was thus bereaved, lost her reason.
A large number of the survivors arrived
here without any clothing, clad only in
blankets.
