It is to our republic from another republic, really in ald of a third. We have a Constitution and a Co- lumbia, but no Liberty. It would be a heppy compromise between the claims of rival cities.

Secretary Gage of thé Treasury Depart= ment delivered an regs at Cleveland, Ohio, last evening befpre“the chamber of commerce upon fin questions. This Was in acceptance 0S an“Invitation given Secretary Gage severad: ‘weeks ago by the chamber. fame) The Secretary was thet by the officers of the chamber upon his arrival in the city and escorted to the) Héllenden. at 6 o'clock they had dinner together and then eroceeded to the nthe T, which was densely crowded with the.Jeading busi men of the city. No one tee raenibers wae admitted. After the ress the Secretary was entertained at the Union. Ciud. Secre- tary Gage’s address follows: “Most of us had cherished the hope that the financial issues which have so long vexed the country had been settled by the Political decree of 1896. Most of us had be- Heved that the people's voice having once been decisively uttered, those who repre- sented that voice would be left free to Peaceably adjust the financial Policies of the government in a ‘manner consistent with the warrant they had received. Events and conditions easily recognizable now go to show that such is not the fact.. Qne branch of the national legislature, comparatively unaffected in its’ personnel by the -election of 1896, is evidently not sympathetic to that reasonable and logical result. Of various political faiths, the ma- jority of members in. that body ‘have the Power to obstruct, perhaps unite to defeat, the last expression of the popular will, “More than this, the evidences are strong that the minority will force a mo- tion to reconsider in’ 1900 the people’s ver- dict of 1896. We must-be ready to vote again upon the main igsue. We need not fear its results. Nevertheless, the onset of the coalition between reyolutionizing dem- ocracy, silver republicanism and fiat-teach- ing populism will be pushed with both vigor and zeal. Already the leaders are bringing their skirmishers into line for the congres- aces contests of next autumn. “In a recent appeal, separately issued— yet by indubitable signs: jointly concelved— the coalition f ulated the catchwords for the new campaign. It is interesting to study these several documents, and I take the liberty of quoting some of the more striking passages, and of making brief but |” appropriate comments thereon. “Says the chairman of the national demo- cratic committee, “To the people:’ “““The surrender of the republican party to the advocates of the gold standard and monopoly is at last complete. ‘The present administration, called to power upon the solemn pledge of the republican national convention at St. Louis to promote bimeta!- lism, has formulated and sent to Congress a bill, the leading purpose of which, the Ease of the Treasury avows, is to ‘com- @ country more thorough! gold standard.’ H eee “A radical difference appears between in- ternational. .bimetallism and the demo- cratic scheme for the free coinage of silver without the aid or consent of any other na- tion. International bimetallism means tho same measuring rod over values, both at home and abroad. It involves a use of the world’s money, and a resultant harmony in the exchanges. Local ‘bimetallism’ means a dislocation between the United States and the rest of the commercial world in a money standard. Besides alt the other losses and derangements already pointed cut, it means a position of continuous dis- advantage in the competition for the world’s trade and commerce. “Nothing but the blindést disregard for the economic laws whith ‘govern us more surely than do statufpry’ enactments can lead us into such a folly. For international. bimetallism the republic§n party stands pledged.

Assistant Secretary Rooséyelt was before the House naval. committee most of the afternoon yesterday oyfiining the senti- ment of the department on the naval per- sonnel bill. The recommendations of the administration were set aside at the re- quest of the administration to differentiate entirely the two bills, and accordingly no pertion of the personnel bill will be incor- Pperated into the appropriation bill, ‘tne only times formerly recommended that will be included will be those increasing the as- sistant paymasters by fifteen and adding twenty assistant engineers, which are con- sidered in the light of emergency provi- sions. Mr. Roosevelt went into details of the subject and explained that there was a most pressing necessity for more men, but the increase, so far as they bere upon the personnel measure, would be West deferred until the latter could be considered by it- self. He called attention to the fact that the personnel bill as a rider to the meas- ure now being framed would be subject to a point of order on the floor of the House and its fate might be settled without the oppor- tunity of a full discussion on ‘ts merits, He realized the strong opposition that had been evinced, and accordingly thought the two bills should not be put together. Once taken up, and in the event of unfavorable action, the increases asked for could be in- corporated into legislation by themselves. ‘The committee agreed with the views ex- pressed, and Representative Foss of Lli- neis, chairman of the subcommittee on rank organization, rank and pay, gave for- mal assurance that as soon as the appro- priation bill had been passed by the House his subcommittee would begin the consid- eration of the personnel bill, and that there weuld be no avoidable delay in action. —_——__-e—____ Forcible Entry and Detainer. A warrant charging forcible entry and detainer was issued from the Police Court this afternoon for the arrest of Philip J. Roache. James R. Keenan, lessee of the Hotel Gordon, formerly the Arno, swore out the warrant, which, was placed in the hands of Detective Boardman for service. It is alleged that Roache, who had the bar privileges of the hotel, refused to sur- render the bar when the @emand for it was made upon him. During his absence, later, it is alleged that the stock was taken out. Roache, the warrant ¢harges, afterward forced open the door and took possession of the place. . It is claimed by friends of Roache that the dispute is a civil matter and should be settled in the civil courts. The warrant was ordered by Assistant District Attorney ‘Taggart, who investigated the case. “t Recommend Favijirdble Action.

Har- Bed eal PATRICK DONAHOE . 2S Other Members of the Family as Warmly Advise Use of Paine’s Celery Compound. Few men in this country who have lived to “clear the eight-barred gate which not many ecme in sight of, and fewer go over,” have en- joyed more of the blessings of a long, active, well-spent Ife than Patrick A, Donahoe, the fccnder of the Boston Pilot. In every city, village and bamlet throughout the several states and territories of the Union, where the Irish-Amertean pecple have settled, the name of Patrick Donahoe is spoken with respect, ad- miration and affection. More than half a century ago Mr. Donahoe ¢s- tablished the Pik In 1870 he engaged John Boyle O'Reilly, who was its brilliant editor for twenty years.

I am heppy to state that two members of my family have used Paine’s celery compound with the most gratifying results. My daughter-in-law, Mrs. P. M.

Yes, I believe in Paine’s celery compound. PATRICK DONAHOE. Three-fourths of all the aches, pains and a abilities that aged persons suffer from arise plainly from retarded circulation.

Senator Gallinger’s Characterization of Misery in Cuba. Senator Gallinger was at the Capitol yes- terday fer the first time since his return from Cuba. When requested to make a state- ment as to his observations on the condi- tion of affairs on that island, he responded: “You can sign my name to any picture you may draw of utter wretchedness, destitu- tion and hellishness in that country. The condition of affairs, so far as I had oppor- tunity to cbserve it, and I was oniy in Havana and Matanzas, is simply indescrib- able. I had not expected to find it half as bad as it is, and I do not believe that any ene who simply reads the accounts and dces not see for himself can form an ade- quate.idea of the situaticn.

Extent of the Misery. : “The best information obtainable leads to the conclusion that there have been be- yond doudt 400,000 deaths as a result of Spain’s brutal policy, and the tragedy goes on from day to day. The Society of the Red Cross is furnishing some relief by its efforts, but the most of those people are beyond the reach of aid, whether through medicine or food. The mortality in Matan- zas for the last four months previous to our visit hes been equal to ten times the ordinary death rate. “With reference to the military aspect of affairs in Cuba, I saw nothing which im- pressed me with the idea that Spain knows much about modern warfare. The soldiers I saw are not drilled as our soldiers are. Irdeed, they lack every element of soldier- ly bearing, whatever may be said of their merits as fighters. The drills that 1 wit- nessed were a travesty on modern military ntagonists on the field of battle, UNaturally there was much talk about disast “There is a divergence ‘ of opinion on {he ee een eat United States, and I the en- Bs WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET.
