HOW CUBANS LIE,


4 Truth II Concerned r., z~sS.
It is often hard to tell whether q
Cuban lies to you from ignorance or
malice, says Herbert Pelham Williams
In the Atlantic. On ordinary occasions
and about matters that do not promise
to affect himself, he Is fairly truthful,
but he seem to know no reason why
he shouldn't tell a lie If he wants to.
To the average Cuban who has always
lived on his own island lie is a thing
to tell whenever it will serve any use
ful purpose-such as getting him out
OF scrape, or securing an advantage,
or getting money out of somebody, or
conciliating some one, or creating a
good Impression: Here the absence OF
moral sense becomes apparent, With
the Cuban lying is not matter OF
right, but of policy, his short-sighted-
ness preventing him from perceiving
that today's advantage may sbe to-;
morrow's loss. - The statement, COM.
mon among Americans who have lived
in Cuba, that the Cubans are all liars,
Is much nearer the truth than most
geneTalfzations : Though they usually
tell the truth, nearly all of them dis
seminate or eQuivocate whenever they
see occasion. Hence It is not always
easy to tell what Cuban thinks or
how he feels: about the future Of the
island. He sometimes tells you what
he thinks you WANT to hear. Every
man of property wants Cuba to be un-
der American control, but he: will not
admit it before crowd, or even to an
other Cuban, unless convinced that he,
too, is heartily in favor of it.: The
trait appears, likewise, in accounts of
the Cuban army. However, it IS only
fair to say that the glowing descrip-
tions given by the iCubans Of the per-
formances and the glorious victories
OF that somewhat mythical force are
not Intentional, deliberate, cold-blood-
ed lies Carried away by imaginations
as fertile as the soil of their island,
they actually believe their own mon
strous inventions. For, after all, the
Cuban loves better than. all other
things on earth to strike an attitude,
to pose, to strut and brag and make
nlmself out great man and his gen.
tie fellow-islands great nation.
Thousands Of Cubans really believe
that there was once a band of men
worthy to be called Cuban army, and
that they fought battles. Others ad-
NIT that there were merely little COM
panles OF starving stragglers, who
sometimes fired their two cartridges
apiece from ambush at Spanish scout
ing parties and then scattered But
they all think they did great execution.
Get some American or Englishman
who was with. them to tell you his view
Of 1t. 1t will be discouragingly differ

war" soldiers, braggadocio mock he- !
roes who never got within earshot Of

We do not wish to be called a crank
on any subject, but we do contend
that too much space is wasted in
the columns of many newspapers
these days, especially is this the
case with most of the big city news
paper, in sensational and senseless
matters, for the sole purpose OF
attracting the attention of their
readers away from the impending
danger ahead-in regard to financial
legislation 1t must be borne in
mind by all that the first great
reform necessary in this country
is to restore the money of the
constitution, to crush the gold
octopus. Give us gold, silver aud
paper money-all issued by the
government and all a full legal
tender for all debts and obligations
then the incubator of all the trusts
and the worst oppressor of the hu-
man race will be squeIched in this
country, we trust for all time
All the other questions now being
cussed and discussed are mere
pigmies in comparison with the
money question, After this matter
is settled, and settled right, then
the others will be easy to handle.
Crush the gold clique of vampires
that are eating away the very
foundations Of our government.
Make this once more a government
for all the people and not for the
gold gamblers alone.

Lem Muldow, a well known col
ored character who figured as a
hotel porter here in the early days
of our city, and who had quite a
political pull with the negroes on
election days, died at Hope, Arkan-
sas, a few days ago. Lem was a
useful negro, and was generally
controlled by the white people, and
he in turn controlled the col0red
man, and would have to this day
been useful as a middle man" had
he let whiskey alone. Some eight
or ten years ago he acquired the
habit of getting drunk and staying
thus at all times, and he was dis
charged from one hotel and taken
up by another until finally he could
not secure a place at all, on ac-
count of his love for whiskey. He
left here, and news has reached us
of his death.
