The new phase in Cuban politics is said
1o be A desire on the pnrt of the Oubun
patriots to lie annexed to I lie United
States and be protected from nil foes by
the stars and stripes flouting over Moro
castle. That perhaps is tlx easiest and
plainest solution of the Cuban question.
We are not in favor of nnncxiition of
foreign territory on generul principles but
if any additional country by locution mid
trade should become a pnrt of Ibis Union
It is the Gem of the Antilles.
Dr. Grant nnd Mr. Green nuty inject
a slight personal intercut in their affair
by abusing each other but they will
never in that way ut least give suf-
ficient life to the republican party in
Texas for it to lie regarded as other thiiii
a factor of but sninll importance in poli-
tics. There may once in n hundred
years be occasions like last fall when
on account of dissensions in the demo-
cratic party in Texas the republican
party will receive some temporary atten-
tion but It is that kind of a thing that
cornea so seldom and lasts such a short
time that the party can not hope for any
permanent augmentation to its rank
and Dr. Grant's and Mr. Green's
diatribes against each other can only
effect federal Appointments in this state
aud amuse their render.
Our exports have largely increased
while our imports have been rapidly
falling off. Tli at is an ideal condition
for political economists but it is not
very encouraging to our revenue under
the Dingley tariff law. The export of
wheat ran closely in September up to
the "famine month" of September 1ST!)
but in September 181)1 our exports over
imports were les by $;i(S5X)0X) than
they were in Septemlicr 1807. In Sep-
tember last we imported from abroad
less merchandise by $8400000 than in
1890 when trade was partially para-
lyzed by the pnnic und while the reve-
nuo will suffer on account of the wnnt
of sagacity and foresight of makers of
the Dingley tariff it gives ns a promise
of general prosperity from these condi-
tions that political economists not only
regard as ideal but as foreshadowing the
most permanent prosperity.
Mr. Henry Norman professes in the pa-
per to which he is attached the Iiondoti
Chronicle to love Greece but the analy-
sis of its people by him is exceedingly se-
verenot ns much so as the analysis of
his body would be if the citiscens of Ath-
ens get their hands on him. They ac-
cuse him of taking up his residence in
Athens just previous to the Greek wur
with Turkey nnd holding out false hopes
to them in regard to the assistance that
Great Britain would give Greece in n
war with Turkey.
He did not call himself a London cor-
respondent while in Athens but assumed
the much more high sounding title of
commissioner. The citizens of Athens
now accuse him of stirring up the war
feeling promising the assistance of
England aud if they could get hold of
him now his classic figure in all proba-
bility would adorn a lamp post in Alli-
ens. One of the injunctions that has been
called outrageous has been issued by a
federal judge in Kansas. The Kansas
law forfeits the right of a foreign in-
surance company to do business in Kan-
sas on the neglect to pay a loss to any
person for three months "after final judg-
ment." The Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance company having a legal defense
refused to pay n claim whereupon the
superintendent of insurance in that state
forthwith and without waiting for the
three mouths after judgment to expire
mid without the claimant obtaining such
n judgment revoked the license of the'
company to do business in that state.
The company appealed to a federal judge
nnd he enjoined the state superintendent
from interfering with the company. This
injunction which was perfectly fair and
just belongs to that class of injunctions
which is denounced by certain newspa-
pers as "outrageous aud oppressive."
"SKLK-MADB MEN."
Mr. Cleveland has capped the climax
of the discussion on the "self-made man"
by making a speech to the students of
I'rineeton college on that subject. Life
is too short to read the speech but if
he said all men who attain to any use-
fulness are self-made men we fully
agree with him. Men have different
starting jmints and one fellow starts
Ix-tter equipped than another but if the
mun ever shows any genuine worth he
is indebted to his own effort for it and
is a self-made mnn. That is tho only
way a man can ever .be made he must
make himself.
The only difference in men who be-
come useful aud attain position and char-
acter is that some of them start from
the slums aud are compelled to make
greater effort than the man who starts
with education and money but any man
who has within himself the materiul by
which he con mould himself into a
sturdy manhood would do so no matter
where he came from. In other words
if the man attains usefulness who
starts with education aud money he
would have attained the same position
if he had started from the slums.
It depends entirely on the material or
on the dualities of the man. If he htu
the right kind of qualities he is going
to make something of himself nnd there-
fore we say all useful men lire sclf-nindo
men und it is unfair to apply that desig-
nation to men alone who have surmount-
ed the greatest ditliculties.
Kvcn Mr. Seth Low the president of
the greutest institution of learning in the
Greater New York Columbia college
does not hesitate to resort to the tricks
of the politician when addressing the
musses. He pictures Mr. Croker as the
intimate associate of the Prince of
Wales and other English dignitaries in
order of course to prejudice the masses
against Croker ns au aristocrat. Per-
haps Croker never soke to the Prince of
Wales or any other real Knglish aristo-
crats in his life. He himself does not
pretend to be anything but a plehiun on
which he rather pinnies himself but if
Mr. Low cun make votes by giving Mr.
Croker the entree into such society it
is fair en the ground that ull is fair in
politics but it would be more consistent
to refrain after thus representing biin
ns an aristocrat from picturing him so
low down that ii respectable New Yorker
would not associate with him. It is
hard to ascertain the true character of a
politician. Mr. Gorman is nil Kphiani
Smooth in his manners but we doubt
whether he could boast of knowing the
Prince of Wales.
As represented by the press there is
need of consular reform but none of
these papers suggest the proper remedy.
Consulships more than auy other federal
pap has been given to n class of politi-
cians who know least about tin? duties of
the position and who by change of.ad-
ministrntions are not permitted to re-
muin long enough in the place to become
useful to the government. European
countries are represented in every port
by consuls who nt first had special train-
ing for service abroad. They are train-
ed ns diplomatists and then are permitted
to remain in one place until they are
titled nud deserve promotion to a better
place. Thus it is that they have ad-
vantages of our green consuls all over the
world. There is only one remedy for this
ami that is for this government to adopt
the policy of European governments and
place our consuls under the civil service
rules so that they may not be subject lo
removal by every change of administra-
tion. While cotton has gone down to ill.- low-
est price it has sold for in forty years
with the single exception of 1804. food
grains nnd wool have gone up nnd
flourished. It is a singula)' phenomenon
that cotton alone should decline in value
while nil the contributing forces- have
gone up in price. A report covering
ninety-one of the 1215 cotton producing
counties in Texas indicates mi nggegate
increase in the crop yield of this slate of
2li000(X) bales and the whole southern
movement of cotton up to date is 5000
bales smaller in total than Inst year. This
means that 1500000 bales more must
come in sight than last year in order to
make n yield of 1()(XH)(K)0 bales. Mr.
Harry Gunthcr of Memphis makes the
following estimate of the probable yield
as low ns 9fi."8l)5() bales as follows:

A Ixmdon writer to n Pnris fashion
journal in speaking of the increased ap-
pearance of gaudy jewelry in society
says: "Hut the best place to study real
handsome gems is at certain rich wed-
dings or even parties at the cast end.
An additional element of interest here is
the human setting of precious stones
which for purposes of comparison is
vastly more striking than the Kthiop's
ear. Across a fat dirty wrist may blaze
n row of fiery rubies each as big as the
top of one's thumb. Diamonds the size
of of hazlenuts flash from between shag-
gy masses of hair. Greasy lingers are
covered with brilliants almost to the
black streaks under the nails that mark
their limits and there is equal niagnili-
cclice in necklaces hairpins combs ami
brooches whose sights make von won

have been taken out for an airing. The
wearers of this splendor as a rule are
old or middle-aged and globular."

BKV. FATHER MALOSE OK DENVER
LKCTIRKD A(iAIST SOCIAL-
ISTIC FALLACIES.
The Popular Cry AgaJaNt Corporate
Capital I Declared a (treat
Wrong Tactic to "Hold I p"
Capital Denounced.
Denver Col. Oct. 24. The Tabor
Grand oiera house was crowded to the
doors this evening with people to listen
to the eloquent clergyman Kev. J . ii.
Malone deliver his much discussed lec-
ture "Socialistic Fallacies."
So great was the demand for admis-
sion that hundreds were turned away
and for the benefit of those who were
unable to hear. Father Malone tonight
consented to deliver the lecture nguin
next Sunday night.
. Father Alalone's criticisms of the
numerous theories ut present advanced
for the betterment of mankind were
well and fuvorably received.
Father Malone said in part:
"The wild nnd senseless attacks
which the demagogue makes upon capi-
tal and legitimate corporations in behalf
of the laboring men are to be deeply de-
plored by honest law-abiding citizens.
It is unfortunate for lubor that irre-
sH)iisible blatherskites are allowed to in-
ject themselves into lubor difficulties and
to misrepresent the position of honest
labor towards capital. The demagogue
who would make it appear that class is
naturally histile to class; that the rich
and poor are intended by nature to live
at war with one another. Both the rich
and the poor must be made to understand
that capital can not do without labor nor
lalsir without capital.
"I u tn opposed to socialism first be-
cause its votaries chiefly engage them-
selves in unjust and senseless attacks
on corporate wealth; and second because
it is untenable from a religious philo-
sophical mid economic point of view.
"Intelligent citizens should firmly op-
pose a system thnt would destroy estab-
lished institutions solely for the purpose
of arranging a more general distribution
of wealth.
"In entertaining these convictions I am
not unmindful that great corporations
representing as they do millions nnd
sometimes hundreds of millions of dol-
lars may use the jsiwer this capital
gives them to the injury of particular
classes of private individuals or small
corporations but this I am satisfied is the
exception not the rule. When corpor-
ations have been given unjust privileges
then these privileges should lie curtailed.
It is because the masses of the people
fail to distinguish between privileges
that nre just and those that are unjust
that corporations in general are con-
founded with trusts and monopoly- and
made the object of the demagogue)
routings. As long ns conietition is
free it is as senseless to rail nt corporate
wealth as at nn individual endeavor.
Corporations owe their existence to the
law: it governs them. They are ns
amenable to existing laws ns nny indi-
vidual in the land. To assume that
those who execute the laws nre dishon-
est and the government's servants once
(lie government has assumed control of
private industry would be dishonest in
the administration of the government's
business is a preposterous assumption.
To argue that laws can not be enforced
against corporations is to argue that the
race is depraved and to admit that' there
is no hope for civilization.
"If it be imposisble lo elect honest
representatives and judges would it not
be the height of folly to place the vast
interests involved in corporations at the
mercv "of men. who are said to be cor-
rupt? Hut. it is argued that wealthy in-
dividuals and powerful corporations cor-
rupt our legislatures and debauch the
people's representatives. This indeed is
a most serious charge. Think of it. Our
manly pure and spotless representatives
men whose integrity and honesty is as
immaculate as a virgin are dead ns the
agents of corporations so they become
forgetful of the people's interests and
are willing to barter them away for n
few paltry pieces of silver. Keally. I
don't know what punishment should be
meted out to the corporations and the
men of wealth who soil the pure- and
spotless doves that compose our city
councils nnd the average state legisla-
tures. "It must be nn awful power that
these men wield that men who have
never tarried in the primrose path of
dalliance should suddenly forget their
Sunday school teachings and for a bit
of shining gold lietiny themselves their
state and their country.
"Hut what are the facts in the case?
The facts are thnt. generally speaking
the corporations are forced in self-defense
to keep legislation within proper
limit and to defeat schemes of unscrupu-
lous lobbyists nnd wire pullers whose
main object Is to fleece both the public
and the corporations.
"If corporations have their agents to
ward off legislation in their affairs that
might bo productive of serious conse-
quences it must not be forgotten thnt
the legislators have their agents and
go-ltetweens who serve the purpose of
carrying the boodle to their lamb-like
and spotless creatures whom we nre
told capital debauches and corrupts.
Kvery session of the average state leg-
islature witnesses the Introduction of
bills of a purely 'hold-up' character
bills that are introduced solely for the
purpose of terrorizing capital corpora-
tions and private individuals so thnt
they will give up money in considera-
tion of said bills being killed or smother-
ed by those having thein in charge. Bills
are introduced to reduce the price of
the telegraph the telephone freight
passenger nnd other charges the light-
ing of our cities the cost of riding on
street railways to increase excise taxa-
tion to limit the hours during which
liquors may lie sold to hnnnier drug-
gists nnd in n thousand ways to Inter-
fere with private industrv.
"These bills have their origin in the
minds of the legislatures and nre in-
troduced for the purKise of forcing the
parties in interest to disgorge monev
that the bills may Is killed. Tn self-
defense and to prevent the utter ruin
of their business indivdiuals as well ns
corporations yield to unscrupulous legis-
lators nnd then the cry goes forth that
wealth and capital are synonymous with
brilx'ry and corruption.
"When honest men are elected to of-
fice and jnsi laws enacted there will
be no 'sand-bagging' of capital nor will
corporations be given unjust privileges
but all will be found conformable as
well as amenable to th law.
"There is danger in the undue interfer
ence of the state iu private affairs. I
helieve the time has come when honest.
men should speak out as their conscience
dictates. in reference to present
economic conditions. The modern agita-
tors who seek to array the masses of
the people ngninst the wealth should
lie made to understand there is good as
well as evil in wealth ami that the good
more than counterbalances the evil.
"It must lie understood by all that

THE NAVV.
Annual Report of Chief Constructor
Hltehborn Lack of Fuml".
Washington. Oct. 24.-In his annual
report. Philip Ilitchhorn. chief wm'-
or of the navy says the strength of the
nuvv on October 1 was 141 vessel al
told' including the ships of but Ii the ol il
and new navies. It is sta ed tha din-
ing the last few months of the fiscal vein
a considerable amount of work on ves-
sels thnt had been authorized by con-
gress to be suspended owing to the lack
of funds. This caused a heavy drain
on the new upropriations at the liegin-
ning of the present tiscal year and makes
the exhaustion of these appropriations
before the 1st of next July almost an as-
sured fact. Chief Hitchhorn says there
u a discouraging state of affairs as the
exhaustion means a wholesale reduc-
tion of the navy yard forces and the dis-
charged of competent and trained men.
He points to the advantage and economy
of having at least one vessel building at
each important navy yarL
Probablv the most desirable type of
vessel for' the purpose intended particu-
larlv in view of the present state ol the
arnior quest ion would be that of a
sheathed cruiser of comparative light
draft nnd great endurance with quar-
ters for flag oflicers.
ttention is called to the need of im-
proving the navy yard plants in the in-
terest of the economical execution of
work and estimates nre submitted for
each yard.
A plant at Puget sound is nlso said to
be necessary.
During the last year the government
accepted finally four ships the Massa-
chusetts. Oregon. Kriccsoii and Brook-
lyn while eleven vessels have been ac-
cepted primarily and subject to final test
viz.: Iowa. Nashville. Wilmington. Hel-
ena. Annapolis. Yicksluirg. Newport.
Wheeling. Mil riot In. Porter and Footo.
Particular attention is called to the
good results attending the construction of
tlie Iowa. It is shown that this effi-
cient vessel is able to carry 212 tons
more than was calculated on. The
changes in her cost are only about 2 per
cent of the contract. The cost of their
maintenance particularly with copper
bottoms and considerable sail lHiwer.
should be minimum. The chief con-
structor who is charged with the duty of
docking ships makes an urgent plea for
more and better docks stating that the
navy has been at a serious inconvenience
during the past six months for lack of
proper facilities for docking battleships.
The bureau believes that the necessity
for nn additional dock is most urgent at
Mare Island and on the Atlantic coast
nt Portsmouth nnd Boston while n lnrger
dock at Norfolk and League Island
would be a decided advantage. Fur-
ther consideration nlso is urged of the
merits of Algiers. La. ns n dry dock site
and it is urged that all the docks should
lie ready in two years. Chief Hitch-
bom under the bead of armor renews
his suggestion that the department
should no longer make separate ctn-
tracts for ships and their armor but
should permit the ship builder to supply
the armor.
WRECK OF THE CASPAR.
Struck a Dnnerons Reef Only Two
Survivors.
Point Arena. Cnl.. Oct. 24. Close under
the rocky cliff where she met hi r doom
lies bottom upward the torn nnd hntter-
ed hull of the ill-fated steam schooner.
Caspar wrecked enrly yesterday morn-
ing on a treacherous reef. Of the crew
of fifteen there remain but two known
survivors Capt. Anfindsen and Sailor
Chris Larson. So far but one body has
been found which was identified as the
remains of Chief Engineer George Op-
poseman. The wrecked steamer has been
stripped by continuous pounding against
the rocks of masts nnd decks and the
keel is battered ns if by a mighty ham-
mer. The Caspar struck the reef inside
the whistling buoy only n few yards
from that danger signal. After capsizing
the ship was carried over the rocks to the
shore nearly n mile distant by the force
of he heavy waves. The reef hns long
tieen considered n dangerous foe by all
mariners several vessels have struck it
in the past few years. The Caspar might
have escaped destruction but unfortu-
nately a heavy wnve cast her down with
such force that the vessel refused to
respond to the wheel nnd wns dashed
against the reef and capsized.

Berlin Oct. 23.-(Copy righted 1897
by the Associated PressJ-The meeting
between the czar nnd Kmporor William
at Wcisbaden on Wedneduy last was
arranged by Prince Henry of Russia
ot Darmstadt the day before it took
place. Prior to that there was no
thought of the czar going to Wiesbaden
showing that the meeting ot the two em-
perors was of a purely informal nnd ac-
cidental character. The reunion ot the
inonnrchs was of a most cordial natuic.
At Wiesbaden particularly Linperor
William wus in good spirits and made
the c.ar laugh repeatedly. .1 he school
children of Wiesbaden noticing the ex-
cellent humor of Kniperor i hum. pre-
sented themselves in throngs before the
castle where they shouted in chorus:
"Kaiser give us leu ye from school.

caused the school authorities to gratify
the children's wishes. This news was
received by the children with tremen-
dous cheers.
An article in the Nuove Autologia an
inlluential Italian inaga.ine published
bv ex-Minister Ferraris has cause; a
profound sensation in Germany. le
article is a summary of a forthcomgig
book by Signor lihiaia me wumi. -tor
and historian. He advocates the
formal withdrawal of Italy trom the
dreibund nt the expiration of the prcs-
ent term of the compact and forming a t
new zweibund between Italy ami Great
Britain. The artic le shows that in JKW
Italv was on the point of leaving the
dreibund. nnd that in 18111 she w.-.s only
prevailed upon to continue it lor the sake
of preserving universal pence. Contin-
uing the writer proceeds to demonstrate
that'ltalv's most vital' political interests
are in tlie Mediterranean and that only
Great Britain can aid there.
The article contains all sorts of otficial
documents in support of this statement
tlie most important being a letter ot
Count Kobihind to Count de Lannay
then ambassador at Berlin. If is be-
lieved in Berlin diplomatic circles that
Sisnor Chiala's hook expresses the con-
victions of Italy's statesmen and that
the withdrawal of Italy from the drei-
bund is a foregone conclusion.
The government newspapers have pre-
served silence on the subject but the
Staatsberger Zeitung says:
Germany can calmly await Italy
withdrawal lor it is understood that
Gernianv does not need Italy but the
latter is condemned to impotence with-
out Germany's aid.
The Guelph question is again to the
front. Tlie Duke of Ciimlicrland. in a
letter to a Hanoverian noble ("apt. von
Iteden. bids the latter hope nnd expresses
his gratified feelings at the loyalty ex-
pressed. To this. Prince Bismarck in
the Hamburger Naehrichten. says:
"It is to be hoped this and similnr ut-
terances will assist in solving the Bruns-
wick nucstion. now pending for twelve
years in a manner agreeable to German
national feeling and Prussian interests."
The Taggeblatt remarks:
"At the coming session of the reicli-
stag the federal government will clear
the matter by a declaration showing
thnt Prussia has no intention of gobbling
up Brunswick. The success of this is
to be solved by doing justice to the legiti-
mate heir. This. too. is the emperor's
view of the matter.
A curious veering around has occurred
relative to the sugar interests. The
German husbandry council has now ask-
ed the imperial chancellor to reduce the
Inland sugar tax from 20 to 15 marks
per 1l0 kilos while the Deutsche Tnge
Zciti'iig. the main agrarian organ wble'i
hns hitherto n rl vnen t-eil hiph pvunrt in'i-
ininms and inland sugar taxes advises
the abolishing of the whole tax nnd pre-
miums. It says the inland consumption
tax once removed there would be n
much larger consumption of sugar In
Germany where the per capita consump-
tion is now only one-third of that of
Kngland. The paper argues that the
sugar production of Germany would lie
consumed at home thus furnishing the
most simple solution of the difficulty.
