THE CHEAP BUXCOMBE OF THE RES-
DI.VI lOiXARY ESGINEES.
There are in the United States a great
many honest, earnest citliens who sympa-
thise deeply with the people of Ireland and
of Cuba, and Americans of this kind usual-
ly express their opinions freely and doubt-
less contribute something to the resolu-
tionary literature with which the country
is flooded. But most of the noise and
bluster is the work of politicians who have
found it popular to offer resolutions in
favor of the Irishman or the Cuban, or
who are tuned at all times to render any
kind of music that will bring to them ap-
plause and public office. It would not, as
a rule, be inapposite to ask the heroic
grandlloquist who thrusts himself forward
to offer resolutions regarding the people of
foreign countries or remote planets what
it is he wants. The plan of making oneself
prominent and solid by playing upon the
hearts of the people with long distance
resolutions that are known to be popular
or safe is as old as the trade of profession-
al politician*.
Some ridiculous instances of such dema-
gogy have been noticed during the past
month. The constitutional convention of
South Carolina Is In session. It is openly
avowed by the great majority of this con-
vention that the leading purpose is to rid
the state of n?jro domination and to pro-
mote white supremacy by disfranchising
the blacks. While perspiring over this work
the South Carolina statesmen stop long
enough to declare In the most vigorous
English for the Cubans and against Spain.
Referring to this effort to play on a popu-
lar chord the New York Evening Post
asks:
Did the ardent South Carolinians know
that more than half the population of
Cuba Is negro? Did they know that at
least three-fifths of the insurgent bands,
for whose success they so devoutly pray,
are of negro blood? Probably they neither
knew nor cared. They were tuo busy schem-
ing to put the negroes of South Carolina
under their footstool to reflect how u pious
wish for negro supremacy In Cuba would
strike a skeptical public.
And this, understand, Is merely one of
100 of such grotesque and howling absu'dl-
ties. As the Evening Post remarks:
For weeks past politicians and populairity
seekers in the United States have been dis-
guising, or attempting to disguise, their
assaults on the liberty, safety and dignity
of their own cities and states by effusive
deliverances in behalf of Cuban freedom.
In Chicago rival republican factions fell
upon each other with more than the fury
of Guelph and Ghibelline; the wounded
and the dying had to be carried out of
the fray, but the contending bandits were
perfectly ready to declare a truce long
enough to pass patriotic resolutions In aid
of struggling Cuba. At the New York stats
conventions of both parties, where every
effort was made to fool and cheat and be-
tray the people of this commonwealth on
the only issue up for decision-, the tricks-
ters dropped their work of chicanery to
lift up a prayer for oppressed Cuba. In
this city, when Piatt and anti-Platt were
struggling in convention for the possession
of the republican machine, for the better
degradation and spoliation of the munici-
pality, when the police reserves were called
out to suppress the rioting and din, the
fierce contest suddenly died away when the
fanill'lar Cuban resolution was introduced.
By all means let Cuba be free, though the
fetters of boss, heeler and gang be but the
more securely rlvlted on America.
Many a red-faced demagogue has gone
flying to congress because of an utterly
irrelevant resolution for old Ireland, lugged
m by lilm for the purpose ,*f preventing
the discovery or discussion of his own es-
sential weakness or unworthineas. The elo-
quent resolution1 is too often- the resort
of an ambitious politician, ever ready to
use for himself anything that is safe and
to avoid at all hazards anything that he
considers dangerous; the convenient trick
of a schemer who forgets to prove by his
works his interest in the oppressed of his
own city or state and flies abroad to prove
his heroism on some unpopular enemy of
the far, far away. But the Evening Post
thinks that:
This use of Cuba for purposes of populari-
ty Is as futile as its use as a dodge. The
time has gone by when a public man can
be popular because his heart is true to the
oppressed of all nations, unless he has
some concern for the oppressed of this na-
tion. One road, and one only, to popularity
is now open in this country. It is the road
by which public servants march victorious-
ly to good administration. Cities are to be
rescued from waste and misrule. The public
service of state and nation must be made
to approximate private service in point of
skill and fidelity. The men who can »ho-w
the people how to do this, and do, a-re the
men who will be popular. But they will
have to be born administrators, men of war
from their youth, masters of detail, per-
sistent, indomitable. The boys are quite
right in thinking they can never win popu-
larity in this way. Let them stick to their
Cuban resolutions. But let them not think
that their resolutions will make them
either popular or much longer tolerable.
It Is devoutly to be hoped that this Is all
true, tout it must be confessed that the ap-
plause with whloh the average upstart is
greeted when he shakes his mane and sings
through his nose the long ilnes of a reso-
lution excoriating the Turk, the Spaniard
or the Briton- Is exceedingly discouraging.
Such applajuse is discouraging because it
shows that the people are apparently wil-
ling to be misled and deceived; because it
shows an eagerness to put aside their own
business in, order to attend to the business
of others; because it is a manifestation of
greater interest In foreign affairs than ihey
feel In the pressing exigencies of their
home matters. Thre is hardly a doubt,
however, that the people are coming to
understand tlhis and other dodges of the
artful demagogue better than they under-
stood them formerly. In the course of time
the ambitious blatherskite will probably
appeal to passions and prejudices in vain.
When this time shall have come members
of constitutional conventions and of legis-
latures will not feel at liberty to push
their bombs along by wasting the precious
time for which the people pay tihem In
writing and declaiming high sounding res-
olutions concerning political affaire in
foreign
FELL IN A HOLE
Horse Killed and Rider Disabled—Found

Hennessey, Ok., Oct. 12.—John Dillon, a
cattleman living on the South Canadian

fell into a hole. The horse was killed and
Dillon was seriously hurt and unable to

food or water. A searching party found
him yesterday, and his chance of recovery
is very siim. One night the wolves at-

ABSOLUTELY PURE
IMAGE OF THE VIRGIN
Crowned in the Church of Guada-
lupe With Magnificent
Ceremonies.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CROWN
Origin of the Image—Many Church Digni-
taries Present and Partic paling—The
Church Was Crowded.
City of Mexico, Oct. 12.—The Image of
the Virgin, which was crowned to-
day, is a painting claimed by Mexican
Catholics to have been miraculously im-
pressed in the year 1,531 on the "tilma,"
or apron, of a pvor Indian recently con-
verted from heathenism. This event is
said to have taken place at Guadalupe,,
a village about three miles distant from
the City of MejfiJco. A spacious church
was soon afterward erected, and the
painting was enshrined in it.
In 1887 Father Antonio Plancarte,
nephew of the then archbishop of Mex-
ico, started a movement to restore the
existing church on a scale of great
splendor. The work of restoration has
now been completed, and the image was
moved back orv the lsV instant, the
church b^ing reconsecrated with solemn
ceremonies by the archbishop of Mexico
on the same day. The chief feature of
the restored edifice is the sumptuous
character of its decorations.
The archbishops of Mexico applied to
the pope in 1880 for permission to crown
the painting, but the scale of the restora-
tion has delayed, the work until now. The
crown was made by Morgan, the Paris
jeweler. It is composed of gold and
gems, contributed by the ladies of Mex-
ico, so that the Jeweler supplied noth-
ing but the workmanship, for which ho
charged $30,000. This sum was also con-
tributed by Mexican ladies. They made
a point of giving up gems, not only of
great intrinsic value, but such as they
prized as heirlooms.
The crown Is-two feet high and about
four feet in clrcumfrance at the bottom.
The bottom rim consists of twenty-two
enameled shields, representing the twen-
ty-two bishoprics of Mexico. Above
these shields and extending round the
crown are six angels of solid gold, rep-
resented as issuing from roses of ex-
quisite workmanship. Each of the
angels holds by both hands a shield,
bearing th>e arms of the six archbishoprics
of Mexico. From behind the shoulders
of the angelsi are festoons of gold roses,
alternating With festoons of diamond
stars, meeting n.t the top of the crown,
so as to form an i nerial diadenv At
the top of tin. ; . Is an enameled
geographical globe, showing Mexico and
the Gulf of Mexico. Grasping the globe
with one claw and holding aloft a dia-
mond cross with the other is a Mexican
eagle. All the enameled shields are sur-
rounded by diamonds, and the space be-
tween the shields are gemmed with em-
eralds and sapphires. In the breast of
each angel glows a magnificent ruby.
The jeweler has offered a reward of 80,-
000 francs to any one finding two leaves
alike in the whole crown.
Ab the crown can not be placed on the
head of the image, from the nature of
the case, it is held above it by a cherub
of purest Carrara marble.
An immense crowd early this morning
sought admittance to the church at Gua-
dalupe, the doors being open at 7 o'clock,
but so great was the rush that the doors
had to be closed an hour later. The gen-
tlemen all appeared in black frock coats
and wearing tall hats and the ladies in
elegant toilets. The ceremony was mag-
nificent, there being thirty-seven arch-
bishops and bishops in their full robes
of office present.
The crown was carried to the foot of
the altar by ladies who had subscribed
to it, and there, in the presence* of the
public notary, was formally presented to
Abbot Plancarte and the chapter of Gua-
dalupe. They took the oath to preserve
it for the purpose for which it was in-
tended. The crown was then blessed,
and mass followed, and afterward the
procession of the clergy, headed by the
archbishops of Mexico, New York, Cin-
cinnati, New Orleans, Oaxaca and a
great number of bishops and priests, car-
ried the crown around the church and
out into the inelosure, when it was then
brought into the church and placed
above the image of the Virgin by the
archbishops of Mexico and Michoacan.
At that moment an immense congrega-
tion burst into applause. Many houses
here are illuminated to-night. There was
no disorder.
MEXICAN NEWS ITEMS.
City of Mexico, Oct. 12.—The new canal
between Tamplco and Tuxpan will be
commenced at once, the necessary capi-
tal having been secured. Major Scougal,
who has been employed on the public
works in British India and Egypt, leaves
here immediately to take charge of the
work, which Is part of a general sys-
tem of Internal waterways projected by

Theo. W. Noyes, one of the editors of
the Washington Evening Star, has re-
turned here from an exploring tour in
Oaxaca, and says that the work of con-
struction is now going on at the famous
temple of Mitla, which is being used as
a quarry for the extraction of building
stone by the neighboring towns. The at-
tention of Leopoldo Batres, national
curator of antiquities, has been called
to the matter, and he Issues an order
forbidding the demolition of this ruin,
one of the most interesting in Mexico,
containing a vast subterranean chamber,
where in former times priests immolated
their victims.
Mr. Noyes said that the ruins of Mitla
compared. In his judgment, with the
greatest remains of Egypt.
A party of Standard oil magnates are
expected here within two months in a
private car. They are reported as con-
templating investments here.
The trains are bringing in vast crowds
of pilgrims, and many houses of wealthy
residents have been beautifully decorated
in honor of the coronation to-day of the
virgin. Blue, which is the color of the
virgin, is very conspicuous.
The governor of the federal district
has forbidden venders of newspapers
crying sensation news, and they must
hereafter restrict themselves to the name
of the paper and its date. This measure
Is taken to prevent the circulation by
means of newsboys of calumnies against
public and private individuals.

estimated at $200,000.
A storm is reported to have completely-

There is much curiosity in railroad circles
regarding what changes the Belgian bond-
holders will make in methods of managing
the Monterey and Mexican Gulf railroad,
which they have taken over. Arthur Mo-

appointed many American officials.
Ex-Manager Joseph Robinson will push

ing 1G0 miles of tramway here, says the

American company for the sale of the

The Spanish papers ar ■ furiously at-
tacking the Mexican Herald, which has
argued in favor of the recognition of the
belligerent rights of the Cubans. The Span-
ish papers issue calls for the enlistment
of volunteers to aid General Campos, but
any movement on the part of Cubans here
to aid their country is regarded with
hearty dislike.

THE RIVES-CHANLER DIVORCE.
The Lady Interviewed, But Declines to
Give Details.
New York, Oct. 12.—A special to the
World from Charlottesville, Va., says:
Mrs. Amelle Rives-Chanler was seen at
•the Rives home, Castle Hill, fifteen miles
from Charlottesville, and questioned as to
the causes which led her to secure ia di-
vorce from John Armstrong Chanler. She
said there was realh' nothing to say be-
yond what had already appeared in the
papers.
"The public," Mrs. Chanler said, "will
be grievously disappointed when the evi-
dence in the case is given out. There is
nothing of a sensational character about
it. My lawyer will give out any informa-
tion proper for publication."
"Where was the decree granted?" was
asked.
"I must decline to answer," said Mrs.
Chanler. "I will neit say anything more
■than has been published."
In reply to another question Mrs. Chan-
ler said that It was some time ago that the
divorce was granted, and that Mr. Chanler
had been represented at the trial. "But,"
she added, "there was really no defense
he could make."
Later on she remarked: "Mr. Chanler
and. 1 are the best of friends, but we have
seen very little of each other for years.
He owns the place adjoining Castle Hill
and spends a great deal of time in it, but
1 have never lived there."
Mrs. Chanler said she had no plans for
•the future. "Just now I am living at
Cast'le Hill, riding and driving and enjoy-
ing the country, she concluded. Mrs.
Chanler said that she did not know where
•Mr. Chanler was.
ARRESTED AT CHICAGO.
Francis J. Hoffman Charged With Perjury
and Conspiracy.
Chicago, 111., Oct, 12.—Chicago detectives
have arrested Francis J. Hoffman, presi-
dent of the Hoffman office file company,
who is wanted In New York on a charge of

was one of the three bidders for the new
safes in the court house. He was awarded
th-' contract at $-18,000. Under the law the
bidders were compelled to swear that their
bids were made without the knowledge of

ders. The other bidders besides Hoffman

gress Outlined.
PROMOTION IN THE NAVY.
Commodore Selfridge to Be Examined to
Succeed Admiral Carpenter—Other
Washington Notes,
Washington, Oct. 12.—[Special.]—The
next house will be of that strength that
the republicans can do whatever they
want, und the chances are that they will
indulge in the old time policy of giving
out of the government receipts all that
may be asked where an assurance can
be had that the beneficiaries of gifts will,
in gratitude, support the grand old party
in power. The contention of the republi-
can party now is that there are not
enough revenues to carry on the govern-
ment in a decent \vpy, and to make this
charge good the representatives Of that
party can be relied on to increase the
expenses so that the revenues will not
meet such exp-nscs. They will do this
sure if the president does not interpose,
which he can be relied on to do, X am
aware that in the statement made above
I will lay myself open to the charge that
I am moved by a severe partisanship in
making it, but those who may think this
way need not go further than to consider
the principle lying at the botton of the
protective tariff, which was no more or
less than that it became the main prin-
ciple of the republican party as the
means for furnishing it with the sinews
of war in its campaigns, and was the
means of keeping that party in power for
years after it had shown itself unworthy
of the confidence of the people. The
great manufacturers, accumulating
riches unheard of in the history of the
human race by means of legislation
which prevented them from being com-
peted with, would very naturally be will-
ing to give a great part of their plunder
to those, or to that party, which would
guarantee them the continuance of a mo-
nopoly of the American markets.
The republican party put the tariff so
high during Its lust hours of power that
there was such a small receipt from the
import duties that the government could
not meet its obligations. And nearly
the last thing that the secretary
of the treasury, Charles Foster, did was
to counsel the issuance of bonds to get
money to carry on the government, lie
went so far as to have the plates for the
bonds issued engraved, when Harrison,
a more wily politician thHn his secretary,
Interfered, as it was on the eve of a na-
tional election. The result was that no
bcfrids were issued, and the government
was conducted on the credit system till
the democrats came into power, and they
then found that the government was
bankrupt, and had been for some time,
and was unable to meet its current ex-
penses.
Then the demand of the country for a
change in the tariff laws came on to be
heard. A more conservative measure
than the McKlnley law was enacted.
The receipts from this were not large
enough to meet the expenses, simply be-
cause the business of the country could
not be made to adjust itself at once to
the new order of things. Bonds were is-
sued, as they had to he, to pay ex-
penses, and these things contributed to
discouraging the people and making
them believe that there was something
wrong about the democratic party. The
repubiieans were not slow to see how
much could be made in a political way
out of the situation, and, aided by a lot
of disappointed democratic politicians,
they whooped up the administration and
all who were friendly disposed toward It.
The policy of the administration, and the
great bulk of the democratic party being
wrong, as demonstrated by the fact that
there was not enough money coming into
the public coffers to pay expenses, and
the issuance of bonds, the natural argu-
ment of the opposition was that such pol-
icy should be changed. A change would
contemplate the going back to the protec-
tive policy of the republican party. An
extravagant expenditure of the public
money would hasten the adoption of the
protective poll' y, not so high a tariff as
was under the McKlnley law, because
that law was a prohibitory one, and no
revenues could be got under It. So It
would seem that If the republicans want
a return to their old policy it will stand
them in hand to spend money freely dur-
ing the next congress in order that the
deficit may be large enough to impress
the country with the idea that the demo-
cratic policy of a tariff is wrong.
There are a thousand and one ways in*
which they can spend mpney without the
public becoming aware of their reasons
for the expenditure, or become aware of
the real extravagance of that party.
They can easily seduce democrats into
the scheme, as the democrat is no more
honest than the republican when the
"pork barrel" is pnee opened.
THE MORA CLAIM.
Mr. Mora Will Receive a Portion of His
Money Monday.

I partment settles with the original attor-

comink'.
