LITTLE DOG.
Didn't Know Why He Was Punished


Two dogs and boy with tear
shooter created . diversion for the
passers by on San Antonio street abou {
seven o'clock this morning. The dogs
were evidently homeless waits who had
sought each others company for the
sake Of a social conversation
The small one; was lying down be-
tween the outspread paws of the big
dog and the two had their noses close
together in sweet communion when
the boy with the bean shooter took a
chance shot at the water pipe aud hit
the large dog fairly on the tip OF the
nose.
The big fellow looked at his young
companion with an injured air, AID
then seriously and deliberately
picked him mp in his mouth, shook
him two or three times, replaced him
in the gutter, and cuffed his ears

thing meant anyhow.

M'KINLEYISM IN CUBA.
CorruptIon in Office of Administered
tiOn AppOintees in the Cuban
Postal Department.

One Of the chief grounds of com
plant against Spanish colonial rule
was the corruption which permitted
men like Weyler TO assume office in
comparative poverty, and retire with
large wealth. Indeed, the Spaniards
treated their colonies as Klondikes, to
be worked for the benefit of the officials
fortunate enough to be appointed to
the posts of autf ority in those places.
This fact was well known in New York,
where exporters OF articles needed in
Cuba had to take into account the pc
culiar methods of the Spanish custom
house authorities.
1t was hoped that when the island of
Cuba fell under American control, to
be fitted for independence by American
precept ind example the methods of ad-
ministration would be such is to prove
to the Cubans the superiority of the
United States over Spain in all the at
tributes of free government, and espe-
cially in honest dealing with the funds
which of right belong to the Cuban
people, and are supposed to be collected
and expended for their benefit. Every
patriotic American, irrespective of
party, desired that Americans intrust-
ed with authority in Cuba would make
an honorable record for themselves and
their country.
And now it appears that under the
Mckinley plan of appointing men to of
flee, without regard to character, pro-
vided they have the backing of the po-
litical ring which holds the president
in trust, thefts have been perpetrated
in the postal department in Cuba which
amount to many thousands and may

astounding disclosure under special
consideration, and it is asserted that
there will be thorough investigation
into the system of plumber which has
evidently been organized in the postal
departments, and perhap0s in other de-
partments of the Mckinley administra-
tion in Cuba.
1t is a most shameful affair, and pc
culiarly distressing to all Americans
who are concerned in the honor of the
American flag and the good name Of
the republic. 1t is worse than similar
plundering would be at home, for it is
the robbing of trust fund; it is en-
bezzlement from the estates af help
less ward who is in our care and whose
very weakness should excite our SYM
pathy. The training of the Cubans for
self-government must 60 on, but it is
manifest that, if continued under re-
publican auspices, the lesson they re-
ceive will not be of sort calculated to
promote honesty in the administration
of public affairs, or to increase the re-
spect of Cubans for their Washington
rulers and plunderers.-N. Y. News
The Winslow mail., 1900-07-05
IN THE CONCRETE.
An Illustrative Instance of the short
sightedness of Republican
SpeIIbinders.

Senator Shoup, of Idaho, gives us
an illustration of the way in which
the prosperity argument is going to
be worked in his part of the country.
He takes lead for the purpose of
presenting the argument in the con-
crete.
During the Harrison administra-
ton, he says, the price was from $4.2O
to S4.3O. Under Cleveland it tumbled
all the way along down from $4.3O to
So. 80. But when Mckinley took hold
and waved his magic wand up shot
lead to $4.70.
That is bound to fetch 'em. Every
lead producer is sure to fling his hat
aloft and yell: "Whoop! Hurrah for
Mckinley and prosperity"
'Now, take sheep says the sena-
tor. Under Harrison sheep were
bringing from 1928 to $3.50 per head
in Idaho. Under Cleveland they went
down. down to $1.27 But under Nc
Kinley they have bounded away up to
$3.50. So there you are again. Is any
shepherd going to throw Mckinley
over and take his chances with a
democratic president again? Not if
he appreciates the force of republic
an logic.
Our people are not FOOLS" says the
Idaho senator. "They know what is
good for them" Which implies that
they know that when the democrats
are in power they put prices down
and when the republicans are in pow
er they put prices up.
The assumption is anything but
complimentary to the popular intelli-
gence. But, granting it to be true
for the sake of the argument, what
may we suppose the people who use
