LEASE‘S EPICRAMS. She Rings :1 DIerry Change on the Gould- " Castelaine \Vedding. An exchange is reporting a meeting at which Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease of Kansas spoke, had this to say of the» noted woman: Mrs. Lease is apparently proud of her voice. larly as she could, ringing in one’s ears when any occasion gave the vaguest excuse. “ But it is an admirable voice for pub- lic speaking, for it is clear, resonant, and possessing a deep tone in its car- rying quality, which has done so much to make Mrs. Lease successful‘as an outdoor speaker. She had none of the coquetries of a woman. Mrs. Lease on the platform is masculine. and she exhibits a strength in her endurance which is not the possession of many of her sex. , The matter of her speech was not as notable as the manner of it. She seemed to enjoy the mouth-filling plat- itudes of the graduating day, when all virtue is godlike and all vice the possession of men. But once in a while she abandoned the valedictory phrases, and then she apparently deeply impressed her hearers. Among other things she said were I these‘which aroused" the most notable instances of enthusiasm: “New liberties cannot live with the old tyrannies; the ideas of freedom that today stir the heart of man, the grand idea of socialism, cannot live under the old forms of tyranny, be they Old World royalty or British gold. 3 “Increased production without in- creased consumption is valueless. We are confronted by the menace of un- employed labor—a condition which makes it possible for one or two men to become landlords of this proud city, while God’s poor are packed, searal and starving in the slums. “Here is a condition which enables a mouse trap peddler to pay $2,000,- 000 for an impoverished French count and then spend $50,000 for a break- fast after the sale, while 20,000 Amer- ican citizens go to work without any breakfast at all. “We are setting aside the compact which made our nation great—the con- stitution of the United States—and substituting therefor the gold stand- ardlof our hereditary foe, Great Brit- ‘ am. “Aristocracy of royalty and aristoc- racy of gold since the world began have crushed the common people. The first is dying out, but the aristocracy or gold is more potent, more greedy, more disastrous to labor than was ever royalty, in all the 'plenitude of dis power.” A Light in the Window. A light shines all night from an up- per window of John Y. McKane’s big house on Voorhees avenue, Sheeps- head Bay. Every evening his’wife places it there—“so that John may see the way when he comes home,” she says. “He went away in the morning, but I always think that he will come back after sunset, and I want him to know that we are waiting for him.” When the King of Gravesend was sent to prison two years ago for vio- lations of the election laws his wife bore the blow better than her friends thought she might. She hoped for pardon. She thought at first Governor Flower Would act immediately, and then knew pardon was impossible un- til the strength of public sentiment against her husband had abated. As months went by and no friends arose, her hope did not die, but the daily dis- appointment wore on her health until now her physician says she has not long, to live. Her separation from her husband has been her lightest burden, his dis- grace her keenest afliliction. He has sufiered only in pride and has grown fat in prison. The ‘ignominy he scarcely feels has crushed. the wo- man’s heart and broken it. She lights the lamp at evening and ,looks down the walk to the gate, which is never opened by the hand she longs to see upon the latch. Neighbors have come to know the meaning of the lamp, but few dare to touch the sore spot .by mention of her sorrow. To such as do she talks of her husband as a mar- tyr and gilds him with her wifely tri- butes to his' generosity and his ten- derness until those who hear doubt the honesty of courts and feel that he is under an unjust sentence—New.

Mr. Kellond, the district passenger agent of the Illinois Central, tells a good stOry on himself and a colored boy whom be employed when his head- quarters were at New Orleans. Mr. Kellond had hired Sam, a young black boy, to run errands at a salary of $3 a week. But Sam’s clothes were so dilapidated that he was an_ eye- sore, so the railroad man bought him a suit of clothes, the condition being that only fifty cents were to be de- ducted from Sam‘s wages every week until the suit was paid for. The purchase was made on Saturday and on Monday Sam did not show up at the oflice. Mr. Kellond went down. to his home to investigatg: He found Sam’s mother washing 4nd asked her where her son was. “Hi-hi, ky-hi.

AGREEMENT Obstacles In the Way of Peace—The Po- sition of the United SHERI— The Competitor Filibuster Case Dc- cided In Favor of the Men. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. —Wlth the ap- proach of winter it will not be long before the Cuban question will again come .prom- inently to the front. It is possible that the United States may become a party to a three cornered arrangement by which the war may be ended through diplomatic negotiation. The United States needs a new treaty with Spain, and as most of our relations with that country concern the Cuban trade the promoters of Cuban au- tonomy reason that it would be entirely fitting that this new treaty should contain 5 promise on the part of Spain to provide Cuba with complete local self government like that which Canada enjoyt, and that, in consideration of such an agreement and standing back of' it, the United States might ratify the general treaty, Making the United States a party to such an ar- rangement would do away with an objec- tion hitherto apparwtlyilhiurmauhtoble— the fact that whenever Spain hes offered Cuba autonomy as a condition of peace Cuba has replied: “We do not dare to trust you. You promised something like this before, and now we are fighting for some- thing that We can depend upon.” How much opportunity will arise for the presentation of such a proposition is a question. That Spain is practically ready for something of the kind is undoubted, but the islanders, who have hitherto spurned everything in the way of com- promise, would now regard a friendly ad- vance as a confession that Spain recogniz- ed her. inability longer to resist Cuba’s complete independence. It is also sug- gested that the United States senate in its present temper would not ratify a. treaty which negatively implied a continuance of Spanish rule on the island, no matter how easy that rule might be. Spain’s Double Policy. It is frequently remarked that ten days of another administration will not elapse before “something is done for Cuba." Many students Of international procedure are puzzled to know what a new adminis- tration can do, except to make war against Spain. The rights of American citizens and property on the island are now being fully protected, and whenever occasion arises Spain makes prompt reparation for any injuries done to our people. From a diplomatic point of view the United States is already doing everything it can consist- ently with its treaty obligations, and Spain is so eager to keep our government in an agreeable frame of mind that nothing in the way of international obligation is in- tentionally neglected by her. The Spanish government is obliged by political exigen- cies to, pursue a somewhat theatrical pol- icy. For home consumption it gives out the impression that it is displaying a bold front. toward us and may at any moment pounce down upon us. The face actually turned toward us, however, is one of of- ficial propriety and uniform courtesy, leav- ing our government without excuse for Wearing any other itself, and making a new treaty inevitable before any change can be made in the relations of Cuba and the United States The Competitor Prisoners. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—It has been ofii- clally made known to the state department that the Spanish supreme court, at Mad-~ rid, after long consideration has found that the proceedings of the naval court martial which convicted the prisoners taken from the schooner Competitor of being fillbusters and sentenced them to death were erroneous. Further than that nothing is known cfi‘icially. ' British Imports and Exports.
