A WOBD FOR CUBA.
AN
ARGUMENT FOR FEDERAL
RECOGNITION.
rnator Call of Florida Addresses the
Senat He Draws a Graphto Picture
of the Rain, Mlisorrrnmrot and Bar
barous Cruelties Against Which the
Insurgents Are Contending A Con
ference to Be Held.
Speaks Oat far Cuba.
WAS nine to J, Dec 6. When the
oenate met to-day Mr. Mills of Texas
introduced a bill for the coinage of the
silver in the treasury and Mr. Chan
dler of New Hampshire one for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
l-riV4' to 1 when England. Germany and
France should pass similar laws.
Petitions from Florida for the recog
nition of Cuba and from the Legisla
ture of Montana against further issues
of bonds were presented.
A resolution offered by Mr. Call of
Florida was adopted calling upon the
Secretary of State for the correspond
ence relating to the case of General
Sanguilly, an American citizen, sen
tenced to life imprisonment for alleged
complicity in the Cuban revolution.
Mr. Gaflinger cf New Hampshire in
troduced a resolution declaring that it
was the sense of the Senate that it
was unwise 3nd inexpedient to retire
the greenbacks.
Mr. Call then addressed the Senate
in advocacy of his resolution for the
recognition of the belligerency of the
Cuban insurgents, and for strict neu
trality by the United States in the
war.
Mr. Call drew a graphic picture of
the ruin, misgovernment and barber
ous cruelty against which the Cubans
were contending. He described the
former revolutions and declared that
the progress against tyranny made by
the native Cubans who maintained
that just government must derive its
authority from the consent of the
governed, entitled them to recognition
as belligerents and the neutrality of
other nations. Ue considered it an
outrage that the United States should
not hold out an encouraging hand to
those who were struggling for inde
dence. But, instead of speeding
' the Cubans on their course, he
insisted that this government
was actually retarding the revolution,
was in fact furnishing aid to the Span
ish tyrant. "This government," he
said, emphatically, "is responsible for
many of the outrages that have been
committed. I do not mean to say that
the president and his cabinet are re
sponsible, but the attitude of this gov
ernment negatively, by not recogniz
ing the revolutionists as belligerents
in our ports and territory, is maintain
ing to-day the power of Spain on the
island of Cuba."
In conclusion, Mr. Call described
Cuba as the queen of the Antilles, the
future ceriter of a confederated repub
lic, that would include all the islands
of the West Indies, and called upon
the committee on foreign affairs to
consider his resolution in the spirit of
United States forefathers and report
it favorably at an early day.
Then at 1:20 the Senate went into
executive session and after confirming
ex-Senator Matt W. Ransom as minis
ter to Mexico adjourned until Monday.
SENATE COMMITTEES.
Republicans and Democrats Figure ea
Rearrangement.
Washington, Dec 6. The Republic
an Senators met in caucus immediate
ly after the adjournment to-de.y, and
Mr. Sherman, chairman of the caucus,
announced the selection of the follow
ing committee to arrange the commit
tees of the Senate: Mitchell of Ore
gon, Teller, Cullom, Quay, Piatt,
Chandler, Fettigrew, Gear and Pritch
ard. The committee was confirmed
by the caucus, which then adjourned
until the committee shall have select
ed the committees, when it will be
called together to take action upon its
arrangements.
The Democratic members also held
a caucus, there being twenty-six sen
ators present. Ti.o caucus decided
upon the nomination of Senator Har
ris for president pro tem. in case the
Republicans should decide to attempt
to vlect one of their number to this
office. The caucus also authorized
the chairman, Mr. Gorman, to appoint
a steering committee to fill vacancies
left by tho-e who were not re-elected.
This 'committee is to confer with
the Republican committee on com
mittees for the purpose of reaching an
agreement as to the committees. There
were several speeches on the policy of
organization of the committees and all
were favorable to permitting the Re
publicans to take them in case they
nhoiihi "K-c'uie that they wished to do
so. No opfosition was developed to
this plan. The six members of the
old committee who are to constitute a
part of the new committee are Messrs.
(Kirnna, Cockrell, Harris, JJlackburn,
l'rice and Jones of Arkansas.

Panama, Dec 6. From trustworthy
private advices it is reported hare that
the revolutions which, broke out sim

of the Republlo of Venexsela against
Crespo's autocracy are of a most serious
nature.
REED S CONTEST PROJECT.
Two Committees Talked of to Push the
Cases.
Washington, Dec C. Speaker Reed
is considering a plan to divide the
work on contested election cases by
forming two election committees in
the House. This plan, if adopted,
would greatly facilitate the work of
disposing; of the contests before the
House and would give to the contest
ants who my be found to be entitled
to seats for which others now hold
certificates their rights sooner than
they might obtain them otherwise.
There are thirty-two contests on
hand, and they will furnish mu?h
work for one committee. The busi
ness of this committee corresponds
largely to that of a court, as it hears
all the evidence in every case and then
votes upon it and reports to the House.
It is said that the question of econ
omy counts with Mr. Reed in the mat
ter, for when a member is unseated the
salary for the position during the time
that the contest was pending is paid
to both of the claimants, as well as
the expenses of conducting the case be
fore the committee.
The general opinion among the
House Republicans appears to be that
this Congress will be conservative in
unseating the thirty-two members
whose seats are contested. The Re
publican majority is so large that
there is no need to strain a point in
unseating anyone.
An American Plantation Rained.
Uavaisa, Dec 6. W. CL Seal, the
agent of Edward Atkins or Hoston,
owner of the great sugar estate Sole-
dad, near Cienfuegos, recently burned
by insurgents, is here. He came from
the estate and is going home. He was
extremely guarded in his conversa
tion, fearing insurgent revenge, out
he explained that about 1,000 acres of
fine cane had been burned and that
there was no reasons for the action as
that plantation never made sugar
until the middle of December.
Chief Clerk Towles Retires.
Washington, Dec 6. Thomas O.

court here this morning. Judge Bierer
of this judicial district, one of the
members of the Oklahoma Supreme
court said from the bench: "I think
Oklahoma has the worst criminal code

The Texas Fever Case Again.
Topeka, Kan., Dec b The famous
Texas fever damage case from Lyon

WA8IIIXGTOX, Dec 6. Speaker Reed
was a conspicuous caller at the White
house yesterday, and he had a short

g MODERN SAUL.
HE HAS PUT THE NATIONAL
BANKERS IN ECSTACIES.
ills Name Is Alclretige and His Fatna
Bests on a Speech He Made at At
lanta Ex-Congressman Martins Rid
icules Him.
Ex-Congressman Bartine in National
Bimetallism. The bankers are in ecsta
cies over a new-found champion in the
I person of one Aldredge, who made a
funny speech at Atlanta.
Whether this Aldredge Is a very
young man and gave the bankers the
benefit of his maiden effort, or is one
of ripe years who has been hiding his
incandescent light under a canopy of
extreme modesty, we know not. But
we do know that he has emerged from
obscurity and electrified a few simple
minded bankers with his wit.
It is unfortunate, though, that he has
so much of natural humor in his mind,
that unconsciously he allowed it to per
vade his entire speech. Some of his
most serious propositions were, In fact,
the funniest parts of his discourse.
Among other things, he brought out
the very remarkable fact, that the farm
er is better off with wheat at 50 cents
per bushel than he would be with wheat
at fl. Then he made It clear to those
grave and wise bankers that diminished
production is the true road to national
prosperity, illustrating it by very co
gent references to the recent rise in the
price of cotton as a result of a reduced
crop.
These discoveries are of such import
ance to mankind that Judge Aldredge
should have indulged in more ampli
fication, and carried them to their logi
cal conclusion. If the farmer is better
off with 50-cent wheat than with dollar
wheat, then 25-cent wheat will make
him still more prosperous, and when it
gets down to nothing per bushel, the
cup of his happiness will be full. The
failure of the great humorist to eluci
date this point leaves his magical ef
fort a little incomnlete.
Then with regard to the blessings
which have come from the partial
failure of the cotton crop. From 9,900.
000 bales last year it has fallen to 6,500,
000 or 7,000.000 this year. Now if a loss
of 3,000,000 bales of cotton has so great
ly Improved business conditions in the
south, what a flood tide of prosperity
would have rolled over that region If
the loss had been 6,000.000 bales! And
if it had pleased Divine Providence to
destroy it all, the cotton planter would
be happier even than the farmer who
sells his wheat for no thine. The in-
i completeness of the judge's remarks
i upon these points was unfortunate. It
) leaves the, impression that his humor
is rather mechanical, and that his logic,
; while very good as far as it goes, breaks
' off rather too soon, as it were,
j He. might haye very materially add
. ed to the force of his argument (?) if
J he had matle a little reference to his
' own salary. If he is still a Judee we
'. presume he draws a salary. He might j
' have told those assembled philanthro-J
! pists how exceedingly prosperous he -'
was on the small stipend he was re- j
celvlng, how much more prosperous he j
would be if he were reduced one-half,
and that if he could only be permitted
to serve the dear people for nothing, !
'. he would then occupy a position of un- i
speakable bliss. Doubtless he would j
have used this Illustration if he had
thought of it. But we must not be too ;
i exacting. Even a new-oorn cnampion :
: of sound (?) money cannot be expected j
to think of everything and be "funny" i
! at tb same time.
' He also discovered that the gold !
1 standard nations are "bimetallic," be- j
cause they use silver as "token money"
along with their gold, while the silver
' standard countries are "monometallic" ;
! because the use silve alone. Hence he ,
j concludes that the gold strdard advo- '
cates are the "bimetallists' while the ,
! friends of free coinage are really "silver 1
monometallists.' '
i He had probably been reading Mr. '
I Carlisle's "five unanswerable proposi-
! tlons," and being struck with a great
"idee," he couldn t rest until he laid It
before an amazed and admiring world. '
But when a "funny" man attempts
to become argumentative, he nearly al- ;
ways fails; sometimes because he does '
not want to spoil his wit by keeping :
too close to the line of true logic, and '
sometimes because of ignorance of ma- ;
terial facts. Judge Aldredge seems to
be ignorant of the difference between j
"token money" and standard money, j
He seems to be equally ignorant of the j
fact that "silver standard" countries
make no attempt to use gold and have I
no need of it. He seems to be totally ;
unconscious that "bimetallism" differs i
radically from either the gold standard '
or the silver standard. He is not so !
j ignorant, though, as not to be aware
that the only way he could defend the
gold standard was by assuming the en
tirecase; and so he cooly took it for
granted that the moment we opened
our mints to both metals alike, we
would land upon the silver basis.
Perhaps the greatest joke perpetrated
was the statement that he and the gold
standard men generally, are the friends
of silver, and that the free coinage peo
ple w it? enemies. We have a sort
of misty recollection of having heard
somewhere such expressions as these:
"clipped dollar" "90-cent dollar." "70
cent dollar." "50-cent dollar," "short
legged dollar," "dishonest dollar,
swindling dollar," "fraudulent dollar,"
"buzzard dollar," and many others, and
had really never understood these ex
pressions as indicating extreme friend
ship for the silver dollar. But Judge
Aldredge has thown a flood of light
upon this point, and it is a pleasure to
learn that the friends of "honest
money," in using these epithets, were -The most disgusting kritter ov the

quite able to so completely reverse the
ordinary modes of thought as to appre
ciate Judge Aldredge's rhetorical figure
in which the advocates of the gold
standard are pictured as the "true

It is really no wonder that the bank

wrought some miracles. . And yet it
must be confessed that he has not quite

he will later on.
MEXICO SATISFIED.
Even Silver Monometallism Has
Ben-
flted Our Neighbors.
Mexico seems to be well satisfied with
her monetary system. There is no rea
son why she should not be. Although
not yet in the front rank of nations,
she is imnroviner her condition with
marvelous rapidity. So long as she is
moving forward with greater relative
j speed than gold standard nations, it Is
! but natural that she should regard her
i monetary system as a good one.
When half-civilized nations upon the
silver basis are enjoying greater rela
tive prosperity than the highly civilized
gold standard countries, it furnishes
conclusive evidence that gold is not the
only "honest and sound money." If
the believers in the gold standard
would open their eyes, the palpable his
toric truth that nations have lived and
prospered for many years at a time
without either metal in circulation, it
might dawn upon them that all the
hopes of humanity do not depend upon
the gold dollar.
Speaking of the clap-trap about free
coinage sinking the United States to a
lower level, the Mexican Financier
says:
There Is a good deal of foreign rub
bish being printed in foreign papers
about the adoption of the silver stand
ard as certain tP "sink the United
States to the level of China and Mexi
co." Now we maintain that Mexico can
show a better record during the recent
"hard times" than the favored land of
Uncle Sam. Our railways did not go
into the hands of receivers at the rate
of two a week; our banks did not fail;
our factories were actively employed;
our cities were not filled with hungry
people out 4)1 employment, and bank
cashiers were not running away or com
mitting suicide. Suppose we should re
verse the remark above quoted and say
that it would pain us to see Mexico
adopt the gold standard and sink to the
level of countries like the United States
and Monaco!
Those people who are so afraid of
having our standard of civilization low
ered by the use of 6ilver, ought to
bring forward some scheme to break oil
commercial relations with those coun
tries. Tne social intercourse which comes
from commerce will be far more likely
to degrade us, than the mere jingling

MORGAN IN CHICAGO.
How Gold Bags of That City Treat Their
Friend.
John W. Doane gave a luncheon yes
terday at the Chicago clab in honor of
J. Pierpont Morgan. The Chicago club
is an organization of millionaires,
therefore Mr. Morgan was at his ease.
When the gentlemen who had been in
vited to partake of the host's hospital
ity and exchange compliments with the
New York financier had stretched their
finely clad legs under the board, Mr.
Doane arose and said:
"I propose the health of a man whom
Chicago honors as the man who kept
intact the treasury gold reserve and
prevented the country from going to a
silver basis, J. Pierpont Morgan."
Had Mr. Doane cared less for the ob
servance of social form and more for
solid truth he would have raised his
glass of extra dry and said:
"I propose the health of a man who,
with Mr. Belmont and Baron Roths
child, so juggled the money market that
the national government was forced to
pay him several million dollars for the
temporary use of $65,000,000 of gold,
which amount is already going back in
to his pocket. I have no doubt, gentle
men, that our guest is hopeful of again
being able in the near future to flim
flam Grover Cleveland and John G. Car
lisle out of another batch of bonds.
Gentlemen, Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan."
Whereupon Mr- Morgan could, with
strict regard for truth, have responded
after this fashion:
"Fellow millionaires: Were I not
otherwise informed I should know,
after casting my eyes about this pala
tial home of our set, that you are firm
believers fei a sound currency. So am
I. With the lead-pipe cinch we have on
the money market, aided by our great
and good friend in Washington, I see no
reason why we should not take a hope
ful view of things. I feel confident that
it is only a question of time when I
and my colleagues will again be called
on to keep Intact the treasury's gold re
serve. When that time comes, gentle
men, you will find us as patriotic, as
loyal to our country, as swift to grab
more millions of the people's money as
we were last March. Gentlemen, I
thank you."

DAVID AND JONATHAN.
Golden Text, There Is a
Stlcketh Closer Than
Proverbs. 18:24 The
the Philistines.
Friend That
a Brother
Battles with
NTROD COIORT :
The lesson for to-day
embraces 1 Samuel
20:32-42. Time about
1062 B. C. Place.
Royal Palace a t
Gibeah. near Jerusa
lem. Saul was still
king of Israel. David
had lived in the Royal
Palace since his vic
tory over Goliath. He
was now a captain in
Saul's army. Jona
than, son of Saul, and
heir to the throne,
was "ow 35 years old.
The lesson is a most
Interesting and romantic section of David s
history, in which we can delightfully trace
the workings of God's guiding providence, as
he leads a young man upward toward his
life's work. The friendship of David with
Jonathan was linked In many ways to his
earlier life, for It could not have existed
without what David had grown to be and
had done; and but for these things he never
could have met the kings son in a W i
I
which would make such a friendshop pos- j
sible. On the other hand, this friendship
was the means of saving his life, of ele- !
vating his character, of helping him to be
loyal to his king, evei: when that king sought
his life. It furnished him with bright cheer-
iui, uopeiui, comiorung innueuces kluiu mo
long, harsh discipline of the several follow-
ing years, and It helped to pave tha way I
to David's acceptance by the people as Saul's
successor. The friendship of Jonathan ana
David was one of the most perfect and beauti- j
ful ever known. "The soul of Jonathan was ?
knit to the soul of David"; their souls were
interwoven together; "and Jonathan loved him
as his own soul." I
II. The Friendship Sealed. Jonathan, the ,
prince, took off his royal soldier garments, '
and gave them to David, together with his !
sword and "his famous bow, which was his '
special weapon" (2 Sam. I. 22), and his
princely girdle. "It hai been suggested that
the reason of this gift was to enable his
friend David, then poorly clad, to appear at
his father's court In a fitting dress; but this
kind of a present was usual among friends
in those remote ages. Glaucus and Diomed, (
for instance, exchanged armor of a very dif
ferent value."
IV. The Friendship Tested. Vs. 32-40. The
year following the covenant of love with
Jonathan, as well as the six succeeding ones,
was a year of severe discipline to David.
"A court, and especially an Eastern court,
is a perilous place for a youne and untried
man," and most of all for one with the popu- '
Iar qualities of David. But God used this
period of trial as one means of saving David
from the threatening dangers. He was safe
because God was with him. and he kept close
to God. The army had not returned
from the great victory begun by the fall
of Goliath, when Saul's jealousy and every
evil, selfish passion were inflamed by the
sight of the women and maidens who had
gone forth, doubtless in holiday attire, to
meet the victorious soldiers, "singing the
praises of their favorite as they danced
before the advancing column, to the music of
tambourines and cymbals." "Saul," they j
sang, "has slain his thousands, but David
his tens of thousands." Saul was sometimes .
troubled by an evil spirit, which wrought i
him up to an insane frenzy of evil passion. I
David still sought to soothe him with his j
music; but the king grew envious of him, )
for the very reason. that David was so good
and God so manifestly with him (18: 28). He j
hated David, and tried in various ways to
kill him. Five separate attacks are men- j
tioned in chapters 18 and 19. When Saul 1
learned that his daughter Mlchal loved the j
young hero, he used even this love as a
means of destroying David, requiring him i
to kill one hundred Philistines as his dowry, '
hoping he would perish in the attempt. But
this turned to David's advantage, by mak
ing him son-in-law to the king. Michal at
one time saved David's life by putting a
household Image in his bed in his place, while
he escaped to the aged prophet Samuel in
Raman. Here he was placed In the school
of the prophets at Naioth. a part ol Raman.
But Saul learned of his retreat and he could
no longer remain there. David therefore ap
pealed to Jonathan to help him. On the next
day was to be held the usual festival of 'the
new moon (Num. 10: ,10; 23: 11-15). and David
was expected to be present. But it was
not safe for him to go. But Jonathan at this
feast was to make excuses to Saul for
David's absence, and thus learn how Saul
felt; and then to make known to David the
state of affairs by a 6ignal. Saul missed
David from the feast, and was insanely angry
at Jonathan for making excuses for him. The
verses of the lesson begin with Jonathan's
reply to his father.
32. And Jonathan answered Saul his father,
and said unto him. Wherefore shall be be
slain? what hath he done?
33. And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite
him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was j
determined of his father to slay Dxvid.
31. So Jonathan arose from the table in (
fierce acger and did eat no meat the second
day of the month: for he was grieved for
David, because his father had done him '
shame.
3T. And it came to pass in the morning,
that Jonathan went out Into the Held at the
time appointed with David, and a little lad
with him.
SC. And he said unto his lad. Run, find out
the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad
ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37. And when the lad was come to the
plac of the arrow which Jonathan had shot.
Jonathan cried after the lad and said. Is not
the arrow beyond thee?
3S- And Jonathan cried after the lad,
Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's
lad gathered up the arrows and came to
his master.
38. And Jonathan cried after the lad,
Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his
lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to
the city.
41. And as soon as the lad was gone.
David arose out of a place toward the south,
anil fell on his face to the ground, and
bowed himself three times: and they kissed
one another, and wept with one another, until
David exceeded.
-4!. . And Jonathan said to David, Go in
peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of
us in the name of the Lord, saying. The Lord
be between me and thee, and between my
seod and thy seed forever. And he arose and
departed: and Jonathan went into the city.

Society of Family Dnty.
The women of Uri, Switzerland, have
established recently a ''Society of Fam
ily Duty." The members are pledged
to abstain from indulging in gossip,
and article IV of the constitution im
poses a heavy fine upon those who take
part in the election. Some women in
dulged lately in electioneering and got
even with their husbands in fighting
them at the pools. Numerous quarrels
were the result, hence the creation of
the society to prevent further trouble
in family circles.

KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, CF ROXBURY, MASS.,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred lertificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts
being stopped, and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it
Dose, one tables poonful in water at bed
time. Sold by all Druggists.
