.Mr. Gorman contends that the sugar
tariff schedule adopted by the senate
affords 10 per cent more protection to the
refiners or the trust than the Wilson bill.
It appears, then, that the difference be-
tween the Democratic free trade Wilson
bill and the Republican protection Dingley
bill is a mere matter of percentage^ Since
the Wilsoin bill undeniably afforded pro-
tection as well as revenue and the reve-
nue proved insufficient, the Republicans
have the best of the argument in raising
the tariff.

Three young men were engaged in a
quiet game of craps in a west end alley.
Things drifted pleasantly for a while. Then
the luck turned and ’t seemed as if there
was some difference of opinion as to the
number of little black dots on the top of
the “bones.” Pending an adjustment one
of the trio grabbed the kitty and under-
took to remove himself from the neighbor-
hood of the game. The remaining players
cried out lustily that he be estopped forth-
with. Policeman Smith heard the cries
and gathered in the fleeing crap shooter.
Then he proceeded to gather in the sta-
tionary crap shooters, who were sorry
they had not fled. This morning George
Mosely and Charlie Plummer pleaded
guilty to gaming in Judge Barry’s court
and were fined $10 and costs. Willie Chap-
pell will be tried on a similar charge Mon-
day morning.

“Last winter my little boy contracted
blood poison by wading in stagnated
water. He swelled up from his feet to his
knees and from his waist to the end
of his fingers. One side of his body
swelled and he had a high fever. I bought
a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I gave
him the medicine and Hood’s Pills and
they cured him of what was a severe case
of blood poison.” Mrs. H. Wallstein,
3609Q Street, Galveston, Texas.
“ I have been in poor, health for several
years and tried bitters, tonics, pills and
plasters until I was almost out of patience,
and began to think my case hopeless. My
husband bought a bottle of Hood’s Sar-
saparilla and I began taking it. When I
had finished the first bottle I had a better
appetite. After taking three bottles I
am stronger and better than for years.”

the ground that it
against laborers that
unions.
Aside from the falct
are helpful to the clause of labor in gen-
eral by their efforts to1 maintain wages, it
is the experience of intelligent employers
that union labor as a rule is the best
labor, and as the best is the cheapest,
union labor is not an extravagance.
The work of constructing such a build-
ing as the court house is largely of kinds
requiring skilled labor, and such labor is
mostly, if not entirely, found in union
ranks. The unions are not organizations
to arbitrarily increase wages. They are
educative as well as co-operative and it is
as much their object to require training
and skill as it is to stand together for
an adopted scale. In the recognized trades
a union card is a certificate of ability to
do good work as well as guarantee of fair
wages. At times unions become dicta-
torial and oppressive, and sometimes
strikes and other disturbances are abetted
without reason or upon slight justifica-
tion, but in the long run labor unions have
not only helped their members, but they
have helped society by improving the in-
tellectual an'd moral condition of the great
mass of the people upon whose character
depends all that constitutes civilization.
Too much can not be done in a legitl-
. mate way to encourage union labor, which
helps all by helping itself.
The city is to issue 40-year street im-
provement bonds. No'w let us have im-
provements that will last at least during
the life of the bonds. Any other kind will
bankrupt the city.
Speaking of the general prosperity of
the south, the Houston Post says: “It is
a matter for general congratulation and
deep satisfaction among our southern peo-
ple.* * * * And t'o us in Texas there is
double comfort and satisfaction in know-
ing that our grand state is foremost in
this encouraging picture. * * * * Truly
these, are reflections at this time that
ought to stiffen the tackbone of confidence
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande.”
All of which is true. But if the people
should be deeply, doubly satisfied, why
does the Post continue to wail, why does
it in the next breath tell the people that
they are being robbed, crushed and
wronged, why does it seek to create dis-
satisfaction am'ong those deeply, doubly

New York, N. Y., June 12.—Among the
passengers who landed in New York to-
day on the steamer Valencia, from Cuban
ports, via Nassau, N. P., was Dr. H. W.
Danforth of Milwaukee, Wis., who for the
past 15 months has been the personal phy-
sician of the president of the Cuban repub-
lic, Salvador Cisneros, marquis of Santa
Lucia.
The doctor is in the United States on
a six months’ leave of absence, having
left Cuba in a 16-foot open boat on May
29 for the island of New Providence. After
much suffering and exposure he reached
Nassau, and there awaited the arrival of
the Valencia.
According to Spanish reports, President
Cisneros died in February last, and this
“news” was semi-officially confirmed in
March last. But Dr. Danforth was with
the president as late as April 6 last, and
had in his possession a letter, which he
showed to representatives of the Associ-
ated Press, dated April 29, from the presi-
dent. The latter not only is not dead, but
when Dr. Danforth left him he was full
of enthusiasm and animated by the most
confident feeling for the eventual success
of the Cuban cause.
Questioned as to the seat of government
of the Cuban republic, Dr. Danforth said
it is at Agura, province of Puerto Principe,
where the insurgents have erected a capi-
tol. The president, however, is not now
at Agura, but in the province of Santiago
de Cuba.
Dr. Danforth was asked to express an
opinion as to the numerical strength of
the Cuban insurgents, and was informed
that late advices from Cuba placed the
number at 8000 men. He said: “It is diffi-
cult, if not impossible, to arrive at a cor-
rect estimate. But you can say that the
Cubans for a certainty have at least 30,000
to 35,000 men today, armed and in good
shape. The Cubans have not been idle
during the last few years, and have been,
importing arms and ammunition right
along. In brief, the Cubans are fighting
a desperate fight, and are in good condi-
tion to continue it. The Spaniards are
also engaged in a desperate contest, but
they are exhausted, or almost so, I cer-
tainly think the Cubans will succeed, not
by reason of numerical strength, for the
Spaniards have about 150,000 men in the
field, but there is no question the Cubans
will ultimately win.. All their leaders are
sworn not to give up until all are dead.
They are bound by oath to fight until the
last, and they will do so.”
The Spanish Cruiser Fired to Make Her
Show Her Colors.
New York, N. Y., June 1'2.—The Ward
line steamer Valencia, Capt. Skillings, ar-
rived here today from south side Cuban
ports. In relation to firing on the Valen-
cia by the Spanish cruiser, Maria Mer-
cedes, it is learned that shortly after noon
on Thursday, May 27, as the ship was
leaving the harbor of Guianalanamo, hav-
ing already saluted the forts and taken
down her colors, the Spanish cruiser Maria
Mercedes, bore down and fired a blank
shot across the Valencia’s bows. This was
quickly followed by a solid shot, which
dropped close under the ship’s stern. The
Valencia then showed her colors and the
cruiser quickly withdrew and steamed
away towards Santiago. Capt. Skillings,
while not willing to make any statement
regarding his encounter with the cruiser,
said the Valencia was no stranger to the
cruiser, whose commander was well aware
that she was engaed in the service of the
Ward line. It is publicly reported at San-
tiago that the cruiser’s captain openly
stated that he knew the Valencia was an
American steamer, but that he fired on
her purposely to compel her to show her
colors.

Universal regret will be felt at the news
that Mr. F. O. Becker, assistant general
freight agent of the International and
Great Northern railroad, is to be trans-
ferred to St. Louis. Besides being an
able traffic man whose sympathies are
actively alive to Galveston’s interest be-
cause of his long residence here, Mr.
Becker is beloved foir many sterling qual-
ities and ^accomplishments, and most of
all he is the head and front of the Galves-
ton quartette society, the pride of the
city and the most remarkable musical or-
ganization in the south. If is not too
much to say that the society is to the
musical education of Galveston what the •
university is to the school system of Tex-
as and Mr. Becker is its very life. Gal-
veston cam ill afford to lose Mr. Becker
and it is to- be hoped that his business
relations may yet take such a turn as will
spare him to this city for many years to
corme.

It Is to be a Fine-, Substantial Structure
Devoid of Gewgaws.
Messrs. Sanguinet & Messer of Fort
Worth have furnished The Tribune with
the following description of the new court
house for Galveston county, as planned
by them:
The general style of the building is a
modern adaptation of French renaissance.
The fronts are bold, solid and imposing,
without being very heavily ornate. The
materials used are granite for the first
story and buff pressed brick with terra
cotta quoins and trimmings, cornices, etc.,
for the three upper stories.
The entrances on 20th and on avenue H
are spacious and handsome, with granite
steps 30 feet wide leading to a colonade
of massive round granite columns, eight
to each entrance, each column 28 feet tall
and 2% feet in diameter. These columns
support another smaller colonade of eight
terra cotta columns, flanked by square
towers, which break up the facade effect-
ively.
The roofs are covered with slate,
trimmed with ornamental copper cresting,
finials and other ornaments. The sloping
roofs are broken by round dormer win-
dows, all carried out in the same style.
The interior arrangement is as follows:
In the basement, to which are entrances
from both sides, is the vault, a large room,
25x45 feet, containing four steel cells for
the accommodation of prisoners; county
court jury room, public lavatories, jan-
itors’ room and boiler room. All these
rooms are finished with cement, and are
well lighted on all sides and approached
by three stairways from above.
On the first floor, at top of the steps
from each street, are the vestibules and
inner halls, with elevators close to
trances. A central rotunda, with
stairways, leads to the upper floors, and
another and separate stairway for the
prisoners’ use to the court rooms- above.
This rotunda is open right up through the
entire building, thus giving light to all
stairways and halls which encircle it
through an ornamental skylight -at the
roof.
Opening off the halls, which are 9 feet
wide, and which give easy access to all
rooms, is the county court room, about 50
feet square, jury rooms, county clerk’s
rooms, vault 30x60 feet, county coinmis-
sioners’ court room, assessor’s, collector’s
and other-offices. All these rooms have
complete outside light and ventilation.
On the second floor is the district court
room, 48x65 feet, with the district clerk’s
office close by, judge’s room, sheriff’s of-
fice, three jury rooms and two witness
rooms, surveyor’s and other offices and
lavatories.
On the third or top floor is the criminal
court room, 48x65 feet, deputy sheriff, jury,
grand jury, criminal clerk, jury sleeping
rooms and attorneys’ offices. Besides
these, there is an extra district court
room, about 30x60 feet, for use in the fu-
ture when another court is established
here.
The whole interior finish and fittings are
completely in accordance with the outside
style. All the halls have marble tile
floors and wainscoting, and court rooms
have paneled wainscoting with marble base
and paneled steel ceilings. All exposed
windows are protected by steel fireproof
shutters, and in fact the whole construc-
tion is modern, up to date fireproof. Two
electric elevators are fitted up in the main
hallway, running to all stories. The en-
trance doors are especially heavy and sol-
id, with beveled plate glass panels. All
hardware will be in same style as build-
ing, and all plumbing of the best sanitary
tpye. The building is to be fitted with
electric wires for lighting and fans, run
through conduits, and is to be heated with
steam.
In fact, all finish and appliances through-
out will be the best of their respective
kinds, and although the cost of the build-
ing is so moderate, yet Galveston will have-
a court house better equipped than many
a county which has invested far more
money on buildings fitted with towers and
other expensive and useless excresences.
