cooapetetempmenestansiermnae ee —— BAe i eatin ome cries WANAMAKER’S HOT SHOT. The Power ef Patriotism Cannot he Fired by Long Speeches Made upof Fine Words. WANAMAKER'SS EPIGRAN. Speaking ‘of the Breken Republican) Promises, He Says That the Lead- ers Should do Something and not Talk Month after Menth A correspondent of the New York Herald interview Hon. John Wana- maker, of Philadelphia, on the 6th and the distinguished Penasylvanian discussed politics and expressed his views honestly and fearlessly. In speaking of bis recent speech to the business men of Philadelphia he was particularly pointed. “I chose two arguments,” Mr. Wanamaker said, “to convince them that they should stand up, and keep on working for the public good. “First, because of their ante-elec- tion promising speechs, which should be kept in good faith. “Second, because of the creeping paralysis of business and bitter want of the unemployed. “What I said was addressed te Pennsylvanians, and much of it bore solely on State politics. Much as I love quietness and peace it is not possible for me to be indifferent or silent in the present conditien of af- fairs. Neither can I take nor give opiates. “In these times,campaign speeches are only empty ehells, without ker. nels. However well meaning,or who ever it is who thinks he does good by them, must be forgetting that a million of workman and their child- ren are hungry. The man who looks for bread in such speeches will not have much to eat. “The public heart cannot be fired by eloquence in this way just now, for the powder ef patriotism is wet with the tears of suffering unem- ployed. Give me hold of somebody's hand who will do something, not talk about it month after month. “To keep work for the six thoue- and and more persons in my employ and turn away frem the several hun- dred who apply daily and beg for the privilege of labor to keep the wolf from the door drives me into a fever, and I must speak. Any citi- zen has that right. 7 Deacon Bros, & Co, i [LOWER THAN THE LOWEST PRICED. | GROCERY, HARDWARE, STOVE | AND IMPLEMENT STORE IN BUTLER.

SPAIN’S FEAR. “I cannot sit on a fence with aatiff wind blowing and whistle for pros- perity,the yanished bird of beautiful plumage, to come back. “We ought to have a new, a better tariff; but if we cannot got it, let us settle down on the old one and ad- just ourselves to it as best we can. If we cannot move out of the old house, we might build a wing to it or add annother story. (This reference to the “old house” is a dig at President McKinley who reminded Mr. Wanamaker in a recent speech that “we csnnot move out of the old house until the new ove is ready. ’) “A Republican House has been in session since last December, and its riddled tariff bill still tosses about at the other end of the Capitol “If to be impatient 1s unpatriotic, when the delays are so protracted and seemingly unnecesssry in adjus ting those two great questions up. permest in the public mind, then I must ask to be forgiven for miscount ing the pulse of most of the people that I meet. “There are not a few who believe that eince the war no such exigency fell upon the country as that which preceded the election of November | ~ 1896. “The spirit which moved the peo- ple then is still alive. It will neither be ignored nor dallied with. The tariff, money, economy of expendi- tures must be arranged fairly and promptly if we are to find content. ment or prosperity. “Gathering ourselves to gether on the monetary question cannot be done too soon. There is no use of sending delegations to foreign na- tions until we have some definite proposition to make. “Let authority be given immedi. ately fora monetary commission to determine what the United States want to do with the money question, then let us go after it and getit as promptly as possible.” Truths Tersely Told. Situation in Santiago Province. Is Alarming. Gen. Weyler is Obliged to Remain in Havana —His Officers Afraid to Attack the Cu- bans—They Want the Captain General to be Present in Case They Are Defeated. Havana, June 17. -The situation in Santiago Province is greatly alarm- ing to the Spanish government. At- tacks are feared on important cities and towns. Weyler has telegraphed to Madrid that he is obliged for the moment to remain in Havana, and the Spanish generale in the Province do not care to attack the insurgents unless Weyler is on the ground. The insurgents control the pro- vince and the Spavish generals fear that if they fail in the effort to re- conquer it for Spain Weyler will lay the blame wholly at their deors. They want him in Santiago de Cuba to share the responsibility. TERRIBLE CRIMES. At Guines, Havana Province, the Spanish battalion of Barbastro is committing terrible crimes, assassin- ating and robbing the inhabitants. me Spaniards here have protested in behalf of the poor eountrymen, but Mayer Aldecoa has told them that he has striet orders from Weyler to exterminate the pacifieos by the machete or by huager. The destruction of Catalina de Guines, in Havana Provinee was a great victory for the Cubans. Gen. Alejanro Rodriguez, Cuban Commander in Havana Province, led the attack of the patriots. Here Spanish gave up the fight in the house of a friend, where he dined. Pa.,who exp HEADS FALLS AT THE SOLDIER'S HOME Investigation Into the Wrecking of Colonel Smith's House Commenced.

President, COLONIZATION BAD. | The secretary is reliably reported | to have told the minister that he thought the treaty very bad; that an- nexation was, in his opinion, wrong, and that the United States ought to quit meddling in colonization or vigorous foreign policies, as there were enough questions at home re- quiring settlement to monopolize all the time and energies of the Ameri- can people. Mr. Sherman said he hoped the treaty would not be rati- fied. To the British, French and Ger- man ambassadors, the Chinese Min- ister and others who called upon him to.day, Mr. Sherman is declared to have made similar professions of apathy. T C.

He had hardly expected to hearsuch views express. ed by the man who bai charge of the foreign affairs of the United States, and whose views would nat- urally be supposed to coincide with those of McKinley. Mr. Shermia told him that his Opposition to annexation was not based entirely on the propriety of the annexation of the island, but be- cause other queations affecting the diplomatic relations were of much greater moment. He said he thought the transmisson of the treaty to the senate at this tims was inadvisable and unnecessary. Thos. W. Silvers. J. A. Bilvers.
