The president came oil the way from
Canton to Washington TO welcome the
Cuban sehool-teachers who have been
visiting in this country,
Many Of these teachers are men,
They were brought here al consider
able expense In order TO impress them
favorably with the institutions OF this
country and the way government Is ad-
mlnlstered by President Mckinley.
II was another republican dlsNppolDt-
ment. The Cuban visitors Ore cnthu-
elastlc democrats, and do not hesitate
TO gay that the Mckinley adminisWa-
tion has failed TO keep It's solemn
pledges made to Cuba,
The Cuban teachers attended nwhite
house reception and were permitted to
shake the hand of ImperIallst VIII
liam, but not a word Of commendation
could be extracted from them In re-
gard TO the administrations manage
ment In Cuba,
"The resources OF our beautiful Is
land have been drained to pay n lot Of
American officials who are more
naughty and insolent than our former
Spanlsh masters said one Cuban.
sour island Is Ges0,ate, The people are
too poor to go into farming or manu-
featuring for themselves and there Is
no encouragement for the investment
ofoutside capital. We have had enough
OF McKinleylsm. The Cubans hope to
see Bryan elected, lie will carry out in
good faith the pledges made by the
United States.
"Our people would not have been so
bitter against Mckinley" continued
this Cuban, man Of high intelligence
and fine culture, "ir he had shown any
disposition to investigate the postal
frauds and punish the offenders But
whit has been done? The committee
appointed by the senate contenisitseIt
by calling on the war department for
Il detailed account Of all disbursements
and tRen adiounS to meet at the call
of the chairman. There Is no indica-
tion that the war department Is prepar-
ingany such report ltisclcar that the
postal scandals are not TO be inNestI'
grated before election, Nicely is to stay
in New York and Maj, Rathhone Is liy-
ing in luxury in Havana Things OF
this sort make the Cubuns discomfort
ed. We put our trust in the United
States, and It's chief executive makes
no move TO protect MS when we are
robbed by his servants" This criticism
is just but It was not what the Od'
minlstration expected when II took
such trouble TO welcome the Cuban
teachers to Washington,
Unpopular with Labor,
The industrial commission is begin
ming to realize that II is not popular
with organized labor, The commission
sent an agent from Washington to in
terview the Central Labor union Of New
York about wages and conditions Of
employment, The agent was met with
a fat refusal to give any information
which might, and probably would be,
used to the disadvantage Of organized
labor, The representatives OF the va
rious unions called attention to the ed
iting of testimony by the commission
and its attempt to justify the atrocities
of the bull pen in Idaho, Senator Kyle
the head of the commission, made him
self conspicuous by his opposition to
the eight-hour bill in congress
The carefully edited reports of the
Industrial commission are being sent
out by the republican campaign man
ayers with view TO convincing the
working people that the information
was gathered by persons friendly to
their interests. 1t will not do. Wage
workers have known for more than
year chat the industrial commission,
like the bureau Of statistics and the
census, Is only an adjunct to the re-
publican national committee Its re-
ports are neither impartial nor accu-
rate.
NoOseVelt's Apology.
Roosevelt has been made TO under
stand by Boss Hanna that his ST. Paul
speech was very hurtful to the repub-
licans, His Wholesale denunciation of
the democrats stirred up even Gen,
Palmer, candidate of the gold demo-
crats in '0G. Gen, Palmer objected to
being labeled as one of class who
"StOnd for lawlCssness and disorder, for
dishonesty and dishonor, for license
and disaster at home and cowardly
