A dispatch from Havana shows how in
sidiously the American authorities are
working to establish in Cuba the kind of
tyranny that Mr.. Bryan says they propose
to establish in the Philippines. The dis
patch says that Governor General Wood
has issued an order that on next Dec. the
habeas corpus act shall go into force
throughout Cuba. The intervening time is
given to enable the Cuban public to become
familiar with the scope of the act and what
its enforcement will involve. All Amer
leans know in a general way what habeas
corpus is. Even if not lawyers the know
that it is one of the greatest safeguards of
personal rights and liberty in our system
OF law. 1t was extorted from the crown by
the British people after a long struggle, it's
foundation being found in Magma Charta.
Briefly, 1t affords complete protection for
the individual against arbitrary arrest or
false imprisonment or detention. and fur
nishes an easy road TO freedom for any
person so arbitrarily arrested or wrongly
imprisoned. This great writ belongs only
TO English and American law. 1t issues of
right, cannot be refused by a court. is per-
emptory and must be obeyed Immediately.
1t is unknown TO the Roman law, some
times called civil law, which prevails in all
Latin countries. including all Spanish col
onies. and. of course, Cuba and the Philip
pines. In the absence of this writ under
Spanish rule persons in Cuba and the Phil
ippines could be arrested and imprisoned
and kept in prison indefinitely without
knowing the cause of their arrest or being
| confronted with their accuser or permitted
to plead. Thousands Of such cases have &C.

A number Of people have written the
Journal, some desiring further information
concerning the statement that Mr.. Bryan,
In a recent speech, declared that God was a
Democrat, while others doubt the accuracy
of the report. On Oct. 6 Mr.. Bryan deliv-
cred a speech at Linton. Ind, in which,
as reported in the Indianapolis Sentinel Of
Oct. z, he said:
When you place a tax upon consumption
you make men pay according to what they
want. not according to what they have,
and mems wants are more nearly equal
than their possessions, because God gave
US our wants and He was Democratic and
gave us about the same wants. but the
Republican party Is largely responsible for
the possessions of people and for the in
equality of possessions, and they are not
Democratic.

The great strike of anthracite coal miners
ends by the operators and railroads grant
ing the demands of the miners that the
10 per cent. increase of wages be guaran-
teed for six months and the sliding scale
be abolished. As these two points cover
the ultimatum of the miners the strike
will probably be called of at once. The
public will rejoice. not only at the ending
of the strike, which would soon have
caused much suffering and interruption of
business, but that it has ended In a sub
stantial victory for the miners. 1t was
fast approaching the danger point, and
while the miners have shown c~ommendable
self-control and moderation, serious trouble
would doubtless have arisen If the strike
had lasted much longer. AS it is the
miners are sure Of steady employment at
advanced wages for at least six months to
come.

HIS PRESENCE EXPECTED TO BE
PRODUCTIVE OF GOOD.
City-some Political Gossip
of Interest.

Elmer Crockett. Of South Bend. Repub-
lean chairman OF the Thirteenth district.
was I'm the city yesterday consulting with
Chairman Hernly, Of the State committee.
One Of the two speeches which Senator
NJ. A. Hanna will make in Indiana will be
made at South Bend. and Mr.. Crockett
says that city will give the national chair
man an ovation. 1t has not been definitely
determined yet. but it is thought that
Senator Hanna will make his two speeches
at Goshen in the afternoon of that day. and
1t is the plan to have the South Bend meet
Ing take place that night.
The Goshen people were TO have Sem
ator Thurston recently and got UP a big
demonstration i'm his honor. He failed ID
arrive and they were greatly disappointed.
1t is the desire now TO give the people OF
that place an opportunity of getting up
another demonstration for a distinguished
man, and 1t is felt that Senator Hanna
will about fill the bill. Mr.. Crockett says
that South Bend will do the handsome
thing by the national chairman. and will
get out a big crowd for him. Next Mon
day. Oct. %. South Bend is to have a
farmers rally" when Senator Fairbanks
will be the orator of the day. On Oct.
2I the following Saturday. Senator j. 6.
Burrows, of Michigan, will be at South
Bend.
The Republicans Oh the State believe that
Senator Hanna's presence in Indiana viii
be productive of much good for the party.
Many people who have never seen the sem
ator have formed their ideas of him from
the cartoons IN the humorous periodicals
OF the attacks on him by the Democratic
PRESS. In appearance he is so different
from the ideas people get of him from the
cartoons that he is bound 10 create a favor
able impression. This was illustrated by
a conversation between two men. evident
ly farmers, at Delphi. on the occasion Of
Senator Hanna's visit 10 that place a few
weeks ago. These men were discussing
the meeting after il was over and one
remarked that he was glad he had come.
He said he had always believed Mr.. Hanna
was a mean man from what he had read OF
him, but since he had seen him he had
gained an entirely different impression OF
him. Since hearing Mr.. Hanna speak he
had come to the conclusion he WIS the
very opposite of what the Democratic news
papers had pictured him.

One of the best laws for labor in this
State is that creating a state board Of ar

of labor controversies. AS a member of
the Judiciary committee in the Senate
Frank B. Burke reported the bill back with
the recommendation that 1t be indefinitely

would have done so. The Senate, however,
took a different view and the bill was
passed, and has proved of great benefit
