An opportunity was afferded me in the last presidential election to do some cam- paign work in the states of Ohio and In- diana, and I found that county politics almost all over the west are honeycombed with “rings” and corruption, precisely like Tammany in New York. On the other hand, the farmers themselves were in the densest ignorance of the real cause of un- reduced wages. Consequently, whenever I was called upon to answer the farmer's argument for free silver, I turned ques- tioner and began a series of inquiries about the county’s or township's method of relief for the poor, and I invariably found a most astonishing condition of things. I found im fact a real grievance of which not a word had been said, and of whose very existence everybody seemed to be uncon- scious. This was a system of poor relief, as bad as anything that existed in the worst days of charity in Europe. My ar- gument was to the effect that the real cause of complaint was a system of taxa- tion that ought to be abolished, and rot the badress of the gold standard. I seized the opportunity to point out the cons3- quences of such a policy, and to explain that it was absurd to expect a laborer to take lower wages when he could get his Mving by taxes on the community. Charity sustained him uy to the level of the stand- ard of living; and he had no more need to work than a king, unless he got wages above the price of charity. This way of looking at the matter had never occurred to my farmer friends. I improved the oc- casion to suggest the remedy, which, while the public’ sentiment is receptive, ought to be pushed throughout the west for all it ‘s worth. It is, to abolish absolutely all outdoor relief. e+ Pittsburg gas men complain that the big buildings give offices lighted by electric lamps to hundreds of business and profes- sional men who forme! burned in the smaller buildings. ge =. ‘The Milwaukee school board has decided to cut twelve days: from the Easter and Christmas vacations, which time will be added to the summer vacation.

ZEALOUS FOR CUBA Oheers for the Struggling Patriots of,the Antilles, ~ MEETING AT NEWNATIONAL THEATER Stirring Addresses Delivered and Ringing Resolutions Adopted. CUBAN LEAGUE IN: CHARGE ‘There was a burst of patriotic zeal for the cause of Cuba last evening, which made the New National Theater ring time and again with cheers for the struggling patri- ots of the Antilles. The meeting was un- der the auspices of the National Cuban League, but all the Cuban societies repre- sented here took part in the ceremonies, which were in memory of the Cuban patri- ots who died in battle and in aid of those still struggling for Mberty. Resolutions favoring the independence of Cuba were adopted, and a committee, com- posed of Frank Hume, Albert R. Dyer and Dr. John I. Brackett, was appointed to Present them to Congress, the President and the Secretary of State. Gen. Wm. Henry Browne, president of the National Cuban League, presided, and Col. N. E. Vowels acted as secretary. Among the number who occupied seats on the stage were Representatives Greene of Nebraska and Swanson of Virginia, Rev. Byron Sunderland, Col. Richard Hinton, who served in the Cuban war of 1871; Jas. McHugh of the Federation of Labor, A. A. Aguirre, Dr. Charles Allen, Frank Hume, Albert R. Dyer, Gen. H. B. Titus, E. 8. Minor, A. G. Riddle, T. J. McGrath, Wm. F. Holtzman, Rev. Dr. irvine, cx-Representa- tive Turner and Dr. Thomas F. Calver. Ladies as Ushers. Ladies of the Woman’s Cuban League served as ushers and had provided flowers for the speakers of the evening. The stage was simply decorated with the American and Cubs flags draped over a tablet in- scribed: “‘To the memory of the Americans who sacrificed their lives for Cuba—Gen- eral Jose Mana Aguirre, Colonel Carlos Aguirre, Colonel Gordon, Major Osgood, Crosby, correspondent; Charley Govin, cor- respondent; Dr. Ruiz.’” Rev. Byron Sunderland opened the ex- ercises with en invocation, in which he re- ferred to the Cubans and Spaniards ae of the same religious faith, and exclaimed: “Oh, where is Gibbons? Where 1g Ire- land? Have they sheathed their voices as swords?” Senator Daniel of Virginia was to have been the principal speaker, and many of his friends were on hand to hear him. He was unable to be present, and James Mc- Dowell Carrington was introduced and made a stirring speech in favor of the United States interfering to secure the in- dependence of Cuba. He began by saying he would address himself to the question of Cuban independence, as a lawyer, and read from standard works on international law to show that ample reason now exists for this country to help the Cubans. He said that if these principles of international law had been ignored Washington and Lafayette would never have met, and the United States would still be a colony of Great Britain. Mr. Carrirgton referred to himself as a commander of a brigade under Stonewall Jackson, and the reference to the confed- erate leader called forth tremendous ap- plause. Mr. Carrington continued by saying that while he had fought in the confederacy, he loved the Ame: n flag, and would as gladly uphold that as would any one in the country. He said the splendid gen- erosity of Grant had resulted in cementing the north and south into one countsy again, and thought that Grant's principles of warfare should be adopted on the Island of Cuba. Every nation, he said, should labor for the preservation of others, and, under international law, should interfere to prevent oppression or to help an op- pressed people when they sought to throw off the yoke of tyranny. Senator Morgan’s Name Inspiring. When Mr. Carrington spoke the name of Senator Morgan, in referring to his work in the cause of Cuba in the United States Senate, he was interrupted by deafening ap- plause, and a proposal of “three cheers for Morgan” induced a tremendous exhibi- tion of enthusiasm for the Alabama sena- tor. Mr. Carrington said it was cowardly to vote $0,000 to aid the Americans in Cuba and ignore the mass of struggling human- ity there. He spoke of the recent action of China in demanding indemnity at once for the life of one of her citizens. when the Chinaman was cut down by a Spanish sol- dier, and said the United States could well take a more manly course in dealing with the Cuban question. Representative Claude M. Swanson of Virginia, also spoke for a vigorous foreign policy in relation to Cuba. He said the United States had used the entire power of its revenue service to put down the Cuban uprising, and in the aid of Spain. Far from being neutrals, the United States had openly espoused the cguse of Spain, and had obeyed the dictates of the Spanish minister, who had only to report that a project ‘was on hand for a filibustering party to leave for Cuba to have the reve- nue boats instructed to stop it in the in- terest of Spain. “It is a disgrace,” he said, “‘that this gov- errment should ever lend its aid to put down the spirit of liberty and freedom.” Mr. Swanson said that 200,000 Spanish troops had tried to overthrow liberty in Cuba and had not succeeded in doing it. The Cubans have a well-organized govern- ment, and a capital which the soldiers of Spain could not take. Their postal system was better than that of the Spanish gov- ernment on the island. Speculators Scored. It had been said that the business ele- ment in politics had prevented Cuban inde- pendence. Mr. Swanson asserted that it was not the business, but the speculative element, that was doing this. “It is that class which knows no country, no party and no patriotism. It represents @ class in American politics which would let you spit on the American flag, at so many dollars a spit.” Representative Greene of Nebraska made a vigorous speech in the same line. He referred to the chances of the resolution recognizing belligerency to the House, “of which I have the honor or the dishonor to belong,” the added. He said he wanted it understood that he had no re- spcnsibility in the failure of that resolu- ticn to pass. He ridiculed the idea that tkere was any question about the exist- ence of war in Cuba. Mr. Greene reminded the audience that it was but a few days after Sumter was fired on that Spain bad recognized the bel- ligerency of the southern states, but the sugar trust would not permit the American Congress to discover that there is war in Cuba. He did not approve of mild meas- ures in dealing with. the Cuban question. “I would rather vote for an appfopria- tion of $200,000,000 to send our battle ships to Cuba than for $50,000 to ald the suf- fering Americans there. We are told that if we recognize the independence of Cuba it will involve us in war. Suppose it does?” om entire audience laughed at the threat of war. “I don't want to buy the Island of Cube. I'd rather whip Spain than buy Cuba. If we whip Spain we will spend the money amcng Cur own people, and if we buy Cuba we will send the money out of the coun- try.” He said the sugar trust feared the inde- pendence of Cuba, because that independ- ence might be followed by making it a state of the Union, and then there would be competition in the sugar industry. But, he said, there was no danger of war with as that was merely a scarecrow. He said the north suppressing thi clyil war, conquet army than vel Spain would hear something fall.

As books Were few and literature might be said to languish in camp, the mental needs of some 10,000 men were largely supplied by conversation, in which the comedy element consisted of badinage, usually gocd pa- tured. An instance in point. The colonel of the 79th Regiment, to which I belonged at that time, having suddenly taken offerse at his men for some unknown Treason, and having hastily ordered an extra drill, the band began playing “Dear, dear, what can the matter be?” the men continuing in chorus,‘‘What have the Highlanders done?” until the laughing martinet rescinded the order, , ry that it is the right and duty of a nelghbor- “ ing nation to recognize belligerency in the interests of humanity, whenever the war of-a government against a province in in- surrection against it is conducted in an in- human manner, even if the insurrection has not attained to proportions that other- be would entitle it to such recognition; an Whereas it is well known to the govern- ment and people of the United States, on the official reports of our consuls in Cuba, that war on the part of Spain against the people of the island has been and is being prosecuted in a cruel, bloodthirsty and fiendish manner; that prisoners of war are regularly put to death; that the inmates of Cuban field hospitals are butchered in their beds and their nurses and physicians mur- dered; that thousands of inoffensive peas- ants are driven from their homes with the deliberate purpose to starve them to death in the Spanish garrison towns; that cap- tured Cuban girls are publicly sold at auc- tion to brutal troopers, to be outraged and then killed; that thousands of Cuban wo- men and young girl children, captured in the interior, have been ruthlessly outraged and murdered by Spanish officers and sol- diers; that in the town of Pinar del Rio little Cuban babies have’been*held up by the legs and sliced to death with machetes under the eyes of their shrieking, agonized mothers, who, immediately afterward,were outraged and butchered, ‘and that Amer- ican citizens have been in’priséned without cause, in one instance repeatedly tortured and then clubbed to death'in prison, while others have died under stntence of death by starvation, all these horrors‘and atroci- ties having been publicly uttestéd by many witnesses; and fe ad Aid and Comfort, to Spain.

Thus, in many indirect ways, it was pos- sible to take humorous liberties with con- stituted authority without fear of reprisal. I can recall but one instance where the matter was taken more seriously than nas intended. The digging of a canal through the bend in the James river, which was called Dutch gap, a work undertaken by Gen. Butler, although promised in a few weeks, proved impracticable, but was per- sisted in with obstinacy, In satiric com- ment thereon, a court-martial sitting near actually condemned some prisoners to two years’ hard labor in Dutch gap. The offi- cers composing the court were all arrested and made to smart for thus bringing Gen. Butler into contempt and ridicule. One of the subtlest methods of brinziag about subversion of discipline practiced by the soldiers consisted in some form of indi- rect bribery. It was soon learned that the easiest way to silence a reproving officer's tongue was to give occupation. to his teeth, and as variety of food was about all the luxury to be hoped for, such gifts 33 might Procure -palliation naturally took that form. Returning from a busy reconnoissance, I was about to join my brother officers at the questionable feast known as “McClellan pie.” a bit of salt junk between two iron biscuits. At this moment my nostrils were assailed by an odor so savory that the homesickness begotten thereof filled my eyes with water. Sternly repressing a bar- baric tendency which I felt was mastering me, I summoned to my tent the soldier who appeared to be a ringleader in the business of roasting a lamb whole before a large fire ,of stolen fence rails. The lamb’s tleece had been carefully hung up on two crossed sticks before my tent, evidently to convey a hint of what might follow in the shape of some toothsome lamb’s flesh. “Where did you get that lamb?” (in tones as hoarse as my youthful throat could man- 300, For Bradford and Williams, trustees, lot 109 in square 181, sold to 8.

The soldier—a handsome young fellow—looked up with ill-concealed mirth, mingled with deprecation, and then guiltily replied: “The lamb bit me, sir, and I killed him in self-defense!” At another time some men were observed Toasting a goose near my quarters, On in- quiring how they came by the fowl I was answered with respectful gravity: “Going home from picket, sir, we were singing the ‘Star Spangled: Banner,’ and the goose hissed; so, of course, we confiscated nim on the spot.” An Ingenious Device. Owing to rigid surveillance, the conven- tional devices for smuggling seemed to have been exhausted; even the gun barrels of the recruits had been inspected—wiih familiar results, and at supper time one young Heutenant was naturally quite tri- umphant. An hour later, however, the colonel angrily sent for this officer of the guard. “I thought you could keep liquor out of this camp?” growled the colonel in his deepest tones. “Yes, sir,” smartly returned the Heu- tenant. “Why, ‘Co. I’ are all drunk.” “Can’t understand it, colonel.” Just then Peter McIven, one company clerk, staggered by—he had served with Havelock in India, and was suspected of much soldierly sophistication. “Peter,” said I, “the guard hofse is your due, but if you'll show us how you got the whisky, I promise to intercede for. 0) yerwith a grin old Peter staggered off re- turning soon with a copper kettle of un- usual dimensions. ¥‘Yes,”” interrupted Lieut. “they brought that kettle in full of milk. “How did you know it was milk?” snap- ped the colonel. “Why, he,” indicating Peter, “poured some out and I drank it.” “Givewme the utensil.” And the lament- able fact was soon divulged that the spout of the kettle had been deftly covered with a piece of bread, then filled with milk, hile inside lurked more than a gallon of what soldiers called “‘O. be joyful.” satisfaction of the enemies of human Iib- are denied their constitutional right of tives in the Congress; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That this mags meeting, repre- senting the liberty loving people of Amer> press the shame, sorrow and indignation with which the people it represents view the attitude of the American republic in relation to the war in Cuba.
