WHO APPOINTED nlMY

The appointment Of Ralph De Soto
is disgrace to the Mckinley admin
istration; an insult to every member
OF the First Delaware Regiment, and
the conference Of an honor and
emolunient upon one oftheveriestcow-
ards and poltroons in the staae dur
ing the last war. He Is sent from
Wilmington to Havana to represent
the United States In the custom house
OF that city, while brave ana intelh-
gent Delaware boys who volunteered
10 FIGHT for the United States and
Cuba are LETT at home to elze out aliying
az hard labor. He obtains an office
carrying with II substantial emom-
ments and but little work as reward
for his cowardice. and they get moth
ing for rushing TO the support OF the
president In the grave national crisis.
They not only get nothing, but have
insult added to injury while the tan
OF the field Is yet on their cheek, and
the reoollections OF the hardships they
endured are fresh in their minds. The
hero gets nothing for his heroism; the
coward gds something for his cow
ardice. The blatant-mouthed hre-eater
in time OF peace and the skullling pol
troon in time Of war is given prefer
ence over young Republicans whu
showed their manlness at a most criti-
cal period in our nations history.
Ralph DE soto Is a Cuban He pro-
feesed TO be man devoted TO the
cause Of Cuban liberty. He ana his
brothers were the mainstays Of the To-
cal Cuban junta. They maze more
inhammatory speeches against Spain
than all the members OF Congress
combined. They got up Cuban teas
and Cuban bazaars. and played upon
the sympathies of Wilmingtonians
who believed that they were what they
professed to be. When war was de-
clared everyone expected TO see these
same De SOtos rush to the front tc
assist In driving the Spanish tyrants
from their beloved island. But they
did nothing Of the kind. When wal
became an actuallty they ceased talk
Ing about II and snea1ed out OF sight
leaving others to do the fighting. No
one OF the whole junta volunteered
The entire outfit shulked After man,

have another going 10 Havana as thI
accredited representative OF the Unite,
States. Who recommended the cowar,
for the place? That Is question
which every Delaware yoiuutee
should inquire, and after It has been
ascertalned the demand for the revo
cation or the fellows cofnmissie,
should be so pointed tnat it canno
be denied. If any OF these lucrativ
