WEDNESDAY JUNE 12 1895
While some of the states of the
American union are pronouncing
against ]the system of convict
labor in vogue in them and others
are endeavoring to so arrange the
employment of the convicts as not
to Interfere with the free labor of
the free artizan it might be well
to enquire to what extent our free
labor is comimg into contract with
the prison labor of the old world.
Here is a field of operations that
opens widely and auspiciously for
the Secretary of the Treasury and
if he entered upon this enquiry
zelaously he would gain more
laurels than in boosting Cleveland
for a third term.
The Japs are a busy and an
amusing race but their attempt to
corral the production of manufac-
tured goods of the world would not
be amusing if they were to get a
real grip on the situation. They
have the imitative facultyj[devel-
oped as no other nation has and
they can discount everything but
a “Heathen Chinee” for cheap
labor. These Japs will bear watch-
ing by the great manufacturing
world.
The Laredo Times aeuusout its
warning note to those employes of
Uncle Sam in the Rio region who
are actively interesting themselves
in organizing silver clubs that
Cleveland will be raising their hair
as soon as he is informed of their
peculiar means of aiding his finan-
cial policy.
It is now almost tnree months
that the city school teachers are in
arrears for salary. Several who in-
tended to leave the city for their
vacations are not able to do so be-
cause they have not been paid for
their services while others are
obliged to engage in some occupa-
tion during vacation to maintain
themselves and the families depen-
dant upon them. This is not right
and the movement to raise the
money and pay the current debts
of the city should be heartily sup-
ported.
Bismarck understands how to
touch William and his pets on the
raw while at the same time appar-
ently saying only complimen-
tary things of the Emperor. The
man of iron and blood knows how
to talk.
ft now transpires that the de-
posed Kaliko queen of the Hawaii-
an Islands made overtures to the
Japanese for a consort of that
country hoping thereby to enlist
the aid of Japan in securing her
the throne and thus thwarting the
attempt to make the government
a republic. Japan looked on and
smiled. That country is not un-
necessarily provoking the antagon-
ism of these United States. There
is no nation that Japan desires to
be on more friendly terms with
than with the United States so
that all reports of the seizure of
Hawaii by the Japs in the islands
may be taken as canards. That the
Japanese will make no move con-
trary to the wishes of the Ameri-
cans in that direction is sure.
The D. De. are crowing because
from the sermons of the great
body of the clergy it is growing
difllcult to tell to what particular
denomination the preacher be-
longs. Is this all that has been
gained during the twenty centuries
of the preaching of the gospel of the
one Christ.
Corbett is losing ground. Fitz-
simmons is unduly confident that
he can knock out the campion*
and while this may be questioned
there is no doubt that Mrs. Jim
will knock him out in the first
round. She is not wise however in
entering the ring against him as
she gets a cool hundred every
week for letting him alone. She
will not do better than that if she
wins all the stakes in the match
of Corbett versus Corbett.
San Antonio is in it too deep to
get out and her only way is to
wade through. She has some good
ball tossers and she is angling for
more. She will get them too. Her
present showing is the very best
that she has made in the diamond
and patience and perseverance will
help her over the fence.
Matt Quay is not as big a fool
as his attempts to boss the Republi-
can party would lead his critics
at times to believe. His recent
declaration that the Republicans
should have confined themselves
to the reform of the tariff and let
the Democrats butt; their heads
against the silver stone is not so
far out of the way. It was not
necessary for the Republicans to
enter into this discussion to any
considerable extent as their posi-
tion as a party in favor of sound
money and opposed to the sixteen
to one craze was very generally
understood all over the country.
That League Convention that
opens in Cleveland is going to
throng that city with the Republi-
can clubs of the entire country.
There will be not less .than fifteen
thousand visitors to the most beau-
tiful city in Ohio then and some
of them will be there with silver
under their tongues as well as in
their pockets. Special trains will
be run from nearly all the states
and those from Colorado and Mon-
tana will have a regularly organ-
ized clique to howl for free silver.
This part of the program will mis-
carry for that crowd in Cleveland
is going to act conservatively.
The proposition to bond this city
for the money to pay the salaries
of employes teachers and the back
expenses of the city departments
is one that commends itself to the
good common sense of the tax-
payers. Better raise the money in
a lump pay off these debts and
keep square in the future than to
be pinched for ready money to pay
salaries thus preventing the em-
ployes of the city in every depart-
ment from meeting their expenses
and discrediting the city to that
extent. The amount now due to
the people who have given their
services to the city would if paid
immediately find its way into the
coffers of the business houses of
the city and materially aid in eas-
ing matters. There should be no
cavil about voting those bonds
for that money. It is a needed
taneasure.
The Republicans of Kentucky
were so encouraged by their vote
last fall and they are so aroused
to action by the splits of this sum-
mer in the Democratic camp that
they are laying their plans to cap-
ture the state at the election in the
fall. They have a big job laid out
and a fighting chance to succeed.
Thore will be no shirking the
duties of the field this contest.
The crusade against the Jews in
Germany goes on in the same old
fool way but it cannot result in
excluding the Jews from all public
honors offices and trusts as also
from the press law and medicine
as its leaders have announced. To
carry out this program ranking
all as Jews who have had a Jewish
strain in the blood for three gener-
ations including relations by mar-
riage would include a sufficient
number of the aristocracy and the
higher class merchants and bank-
ers to make the distinction some-
what embarrassing. Ahlwardt and
his crowd have overrated their in-
fluence.
Those Republicans who are put-
ting all their ammunition into
their silver guns and letting the
questions of tariff go by default as
if they were settled have not sam-
pled the situation among the great
flock sections of the country. Those
men who before the passage of the
last free wool act were selling their
wool for 17 cents and who are now
being offered only 6 cents are of
the opinion that the tariff is to
come in for no inconsiderable share
of attention next campaign.
There is no doubt that if the
next presidential election was to
come off this fall it would turn
very largely upon the silver ques-
tion but that agitation is bound to
subside in some measure within a
year. The people always come to
their sober second sense after a
year or two of foolish talk.
All bond issues are merely expe-
dients and while the issue of bonds
to pay the wages of employes of
the city is advocated the real need
is such remedial measures as will
reach the root of the difficulty and
prevent any recurrence to such
measures in the future. A tax levy
that will cover the legitimate ex-
penses of the city and the prompt
collection of these taxes will ac-
complish all that is desired in this
direction and it is for this purpose
among others that the administra-
tion and legislature of the city
were elected. Surely this is not a
matter lying outside of or beyond
the possibilities of any ordinarily
endowed City Council and they are
expected to compass it.
There is not much prospect of
the Cuban revolutionists succeed-
ing in their attempt to overthrow
the government of the island but
there is every certainty of their be-
ing able to keep the island and the
authorities of it in a disturbed con-
dition for a long time. This will
only create panic destroy com-
mercial enterprise increase taxes
harrass the people peril life and
do no good. There does not appear
to the man in the shrubbery that
there is much love of country in
this thing.
Those Japs are a courteous peo-
ple and their methods of conceal-
ing their iron hands in a velvet
glove work admirably. The For-
mosans already are thanking
their stars for deliverance from
China.
The Japanese are going right
along in carrying out their pro-
gram as to their movements in the
East just as though they were deaf
in one ear to what Russia said and
could not hear out of the other.
They are now reorganizing to For-
mosa and will soon reform her
and make of the island a perma-
nent possession. Formosa will re-
sist but it will be kicking against
the pricks and will not avail. Ja-
pan is as wise as diplomatic and as
cunning as courageous. She will
feign to parley but while negotia-
tions are going on will keep fight-
ing for some and stealing the rest.
Great Jap.
There is nothing pleasing to
France in the prospect of taking a
part in those naval demonstrations
in the North Sea but the trap was
skilfully set by Germany and It is
easier to come in than to stay out.
Great Britain and Germany will be
the great attractions in that de-
monstration.

Hawaii sends a successor to
Thurston at least Dole has ap-
poininted one but he will not put
in an appearance until August. It
goes without saying that he is in
favor of annexation to the United
States.
Uncle Sam certainly has taken
steps none too soon co prevent the
clearing of revolutionary expedi-
tions from the southern shores of
this country. Spain has a just
cause of grievance there.
The attempts of the Great
Powers to prevent little Japan
from reaping the fruit of her
splendid victories do not appear to
have met with distinguished suc-
cess. Japan is still in the ring.
Old London will hardly know
herself when that Womon’s Con-
vention captures it this month. On
the Sunday of their presence
there will be two hundred woman
occupying the pulpits of the old
town.
