There is something startling in the
announcement that Spreokelsville is to
be moved The transfer of a whole COM
munity from one location to another in
wolves the sacrifice of a good deal that
has become satisfactory because habit
ual, and much that is cherished through
association. But industry is an iconoc-
last. 1t is ruthless when it comes to
nothing but power capable of being
harnessed to work, and forthwith it
harnesses it. 1t may shatter associa-
tiOns but it increases the sum of human
happiness. Ever since the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company chang
ed control some months ago, and chang
ed its policy, as it has been described
from raising cane" to raising sugar
increase of production has been the po-
Icy. Six hundred thousand dollars is
to be spent in new mill. Such a sum
could not be prudently spent without
full consideration of its relations to 9TH
er contemplated improvements. The re-
suit has been a decision to erect it in
a new location. And though this In
wolves the removal of an entire village,
the loss of much that has a monetary
as well as a sentimental value it is
hardly to be doubted that in the end it
will prove d wise move.

Now it is proposed to establish civil
self-government and finally independ-
ence With the census as basis, cleo
lions for local government are to be
held in the provinces, and as fast as the
local civil government proves itself
capable of preserving order the troops
viii be withdrawn. As the local gov
ernments are established they will be
consolidated, so that cuba will be in
dependent and lf-governing, and her
people uninfuenced by foreign inter
vention can decide for themselves what
shall ultimately be their state.

M'KINLEY AND CUBA.

President Mckinley has in nothing
shown his greatness more clearly than
in the composure and serenity with
which he pursues great purposes and
meets the great responsibilities thrust
upon him. His proclamation in regard
to Cuba, which, according to the latest
press dispatches, he has just signed,
shows this cOnspicuously.
1t would be hard to formulate in pre-
else language just what was the
thought of the American people in re-
gard to Cuba at the time war was de-
clared against Spain. A condition, not
a theory confronted them. Cuba, whose
people had shown valor, fortitude and
constancy, against oppression, were be-
ing made the prey of relentless tyran-
ny. Their sufferings appealed to the
chivalry and liberty loving instincts Of
America. The destruction of the Maine
was the electric spark which fired the
suppressed indignation of a great peo-
pie Without clearly discerning all the
results that might follow, and without
needing the international complications
in their chivalry forced the Government
into war with Spain. To rescue Cuba
and the Cubans was their animating
thought.
1t was left to Congress and to Pres-
dent Mckinley to reconstruct from the
wreck of systems and institutions. Con-
gress without abdicating its functions
10 hm Of al
reconstruction to President Mckinley.
He has taken up the work with the
calmnes and certainty of one taking up
IA daily task. The first thing to be done
was to restore and preserve order; To
set the people of Cuba at work; to
create conditions of physical health; to
allow the passions and turmoil and rest
lessness of years of war and insurrec-
ton to subside. In spite of bitter crit
icism at home, and covert threats from
abroad, he chose as the instrument of
this work the military arm of the Gov
eminent, as the most efficient. There
were those who honestly saw in this a
subversiOn Of the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority. There were
those who believed it the mere begin
ming and pretext for taking from the
Cubans the independence we had prom
Used, and making of the war with Spain
a war for ACKNOWLEDGMENT instead of a
war for human liberty. But without be-
ing moved by the denunciations against
him whether they were actuated by
honest or merely partisan motives, he
pursued with firmness the course he
had marked out, Order was established.
The, whees of industry began to move.
The sanitary condition of the country
was improved The restless activities
of the insurgent became enlisted in the
energies of industry. The military
arm had done its work.

is necessary that the goods must be sold to
make room for the wOrkmen. To do this
he directed that an Immense Alteration Sale

A Communication.

Editor IIeader-In Mr.. Dale's com"
munication in Saturdays Leader he
makes several assertions Of fact, but
they all argue against giving Butler
street to the B. G. o. S. w. and not in
favor of it, as Mr.. Dale would have us
think.
The situation has indeed changed
since the time the Union Depot was
built The low ground is surely much
more valuable than it was, but 1t
must be remembered that streets in
crease in value faster than the lots
that abut on them.
Butler street is the only cross town
street for a quarter Of mile below
Putnam, and while it may not be much
needed now, it will be needed as busi-
ness in that section increases.
True enough, 1--WE can't do business
without the railroads and the rail-
roads can't do business without facil-
ities;" neither can the railroads do
business without us and our cities.
Cities were built and grew large be-
fore railroads were fought of, but a
railroad without city is absurd. If
the railroads need greater facilities,
they can buy them, just as others have
to do. Anybody who knows any
thing knows that the B. & o. S. w.
will not do anything for Marietta.
Whatever they may do is for their
own interest. They do not give us
good passenger service, but give us the
poorest on the road. They do not com
ply with the terms of concessions
granted them, as is witnessed by the
switch near Front street, the blocking
of streets, etc. 1t is evident enough
that the only reason the B. & o. S. w.
want to extend their tracks on Butler
street is to get valuable freight yard
for less than it is worth. There is
plenty of other convenient ground to
be had.
AS it is now that part of Butler
street between Third and Fourth is
used as a freight depot where cars
stand to be unloaded, and if the track
is extended to Fifth street they will
have $50 feet mere depot room, which
will be of no use whatever as a street,
but will make another track across
Fourth street to impede travel there
If the railroad can not buy private
ground for freight yards and must
have Butler street, let them pay the
city what it is worth; burt when they
pay let the price be paid into the city
treasury and not into the pockets of
individual councilmen. E.

The Lafayette Dollar.

Chicago, Nov. 25, 1899
To the Public
Within the next few days there will
be struck at the United States Mint in
Philadelphia the most unique and sig
nificant coin issued in modern times
1t is the Layfaette Dollar authorized
by Congress in aid of the Lafayette
Monument.
This coin, which is a legal tender
dollar. bears upon its face in bas-re-
lief double medallion of the heads of
Washington and Lafayette, and upon
its reverse a miniature reproduction
of the equestrian statue of Lafayette
used for the Monument. The inscrlp-
tion on the dollar explains its pur-
pose (struck in commemoration of
Monument erected by school youth of
United States to General Lafayette,
Paris France, 1900
The Lafayette dollar thus serves not
only to aid the memorial work, but
forms new and beautiful tie between
the two great republics of Europe and
America and therefore the coin must
lie regarded as an international en-
blem. 1t constitutes a most desirable
souvenir and memento of the Child
ren's Monument to the Knight of
Liberty" the Universal Exposition of
1900 at Paris, and the opening of the
twentieth century. The limited num-
ber issued will make these coins ex-
tremely rare and in very great demand
For each 1900 Of our population there
is ratio of but one Lafayette Dollar.
The first coin to be struck of the
$4,000 will be presented by the Presi-
dent of the United States to the Pres
ident fthe French Republic.
Popular subscriptions for these coins
will now be entered and honored in
the order received. The price fixed on
them by the Commission is two dollars.
All orders for coins to be considered
must be accompanied by payment in
full and be in the hands of the Com
mission on or before December Is.
1893, on which date the popular sub

to limit the number OF coins allotted
to each subscriber. Students of schools
and colleges, who wish coins, should

CLASH
Between Governor and Judge Over
Hatfeld's Sentence.

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. 27,--A clash
of authority has arisen between the
Governor and Judge Dool1ttle of the
eighth judicial circuit. The Judge is
determined that Elias Hatfield shall
go to the penEentlary and the Cover
nor is determined that he shall not.
Hatfield, who surrendered to the
Governor in person several months
ago, was sentenced to 10 years in the
peniGentiary, but got stay of execu-
tion. for 80 days in which to take an
appeal. The time expired on Saturday
and upon the representations of ex-
Governor Wilson, Hatfleld's counsel,
that his stenograhper had been unable
TO complete the record in the case. the
Governor granted an additional stay
Of execution for 80 days more. Judge
Doollttle refused to recognize the stay
and directed the sheriff to take Hat
field to the penitentiary.
Sheriff Peck concluded to obey the
ofuer OF Ine court, ratner Jnan tnaJ OF
the Governor and started Saturday
night to the penitentiary with his
prisoner. The Governor stated that he
did not think Warden Hawk would
receive the prisoner and the question
IS, what will become of Hatfield?
Nothing has been heard here yet as to
his action, Lut the spectacle is likely
to be presented of one of the Hatflelds
convicted of murder and sentenced to
12 years Imprisonment being prevent
ed from entering the pen by the Gov
ernor and his appolntee, and a man
damus may be necessary to get him to
prison.

A Golden Fib.

The ancients really had very little
gold" said Col. /. M. Campbell, of Cal
ifornia, at Chamberlain's to a Wash
ington Post reporter. "The stories of
acter as Croesus are purely mythical.
If all the gold that Josephus and other
early historians tell us went into Solo
mons temple had actually been used
in that building, the King would have
been possessed of enough of the prec-
ious stuff to have built 10 houses of
the size of the temple of solid gold
It's nothing but fiction. There is to-
day in the United States treasury at
Washington more gold than all the
nations of antiquity combined poses
sed. The reason Of this is obvious,
seeing tha in olden days men could
only get the metal by using the most
primitive methods, which wasted more
than was saved.
"Gold never was produced in any
lafge quantity until the inventive gen.
ius of man in modern times learned
the secret of extracting it from the
quar,z. Placer mining was a slow
process, but when iron stamp mills
came into operation the output was
enormously increased. All of the i'm
proved processes that have tended to
cheaper the cost Of production and en-
large the yield have originated in the
United States. If 1t had not been for
the discovery of the cyanide process,
the rich gold filed of South Africa
could never have been worked to any
advantage Owing to the peculiar
combination in which he said of the
Transvaal is found, this treatment is
available, but by any other process it
would cost more to get the gold out
out of the mines at johannesburg than
it would he worth.
In my first mining experience, ore
tnat didn't produce as much as SIS to
the ton wasn't thought worth bother
ing with, but with the chlorination and
cyanide methods it pays now to handle
it when it doesn't yield over SO ton,
and even less. At the celebrated
Homestake mine, in Jouth Dakota the
ore is a very low grade, hardly run
ming over So, and yet owing to the
enormous macAlnery in use there is
handled daily 800 tons of material,
which gives a very handsome month
ly profit to the owners.
Gold is the only metal that will
ever be a standard of value, for in all
human probability the demand for it
will always exceed the supply. If the
supply of silver hadn gone away
ahead of the worlds demand, it would
be worth S1.29 an ounce this morning.
When used to get $1.29 for it the an
nual output was about $50, 900.
From 1871-72 this moderate yield was
displaced by a production of $3.50, ,000,-
900, causing a deluge of silver all over
tne world for series of years, until
in accordance with the inexorable law
of supply and demand, prices fell to a
point where silver mining was no
longer profitable. Legislation has no
more to do with regulating the value
of silver than of wheat, and it is as
foolish to try it in one case as in the
other Silver is going to advance in
price after while solely on account of
the increased population and com
merce of the world"
