r>ue would think that the Spanish alliauce
would be apt to experience a jolt.
Now, on top of the declaration of the
Cuban government that noth'ug short o(
complete independence will he thought
of, we have the general orders of Gomez
aud^Ga'cia that anyone i.1 the Cuban
army accepting proposals of autonomy or
i listening to them will he treated as a trai?
tor, and any emissaiy caught otTering
j such a thing will he regarded as a spy
I and summarily executed. The news of.
j these orders has caused consternation in
Spanish circles in Havana,and has caused
u'cold sensation in Madrid. The cumula?
tion of recent events and developments
ought to make for good Americanism in
the President's message *o Congress.
">Ve trust that the New York Herald is
uot guilty of a piece of lurid sensational?
ism in the statement of its Washington
correspondent that the President h is been
won over by Senator Wolcott from the
old gold views of Secretary Gage, and
that the forthcoming message will sug?
gest some further hope for international
bimetallism, if true this is encouraging:
but the Concrcss has not met y?t. and
there is time for him to recant. Senator
Wolcott must not forget that there are
strong and malign inlluei-ces at work on
Mr. McKinley, on this and all other sub?
jects. He must look out for the Hanna

THE GREAT GOLDBACK l.-Sl r..
! Tue only difference between the New
j York Sun and other trold organs of our
: acquaintance is that the Sun has satanic
? sense, as well as a desire to impose upon
the country a money standaid t hat is not
wanted by anybody but the money job
hing and lending interests and foreign In'
I lluences holding heavy American invest -
i meats, made on a bimetallic basis, which
J now they want recouped to them in cur?
rency of double the value, measured by
j things in exchange, that their contracts
?call for. Cther exponents of the gold
j theory are pigheaded enough to think
? that they can induce the American people
! to transmute the national currency now
I outstanding into gold bonds, autl let the
j hanks iss.ie all the mouey of the country
j on the basis of them. The Sun know s
butter,ami propounds the only really dan
gerous proposition that we have yot seen
I advanced.
' Recogui/.ing popular antagonism to the
I idea that the Government should surren?
der its power co issue money to private
? corporations, tin; Sun declares that the
whole currency should bo put upon a na
, tional basis;; hat the notes of t he national
j hanks should be retired as soon as possi?
ble, and in their place we .should have
nothing but Government paper, but al
ways redeemable on demand in gold. In
r-hort, in place of greenbacks, TreAPUiy
notes, national bunk notes and silver cer?
tificates, we should have nothine but gold
backs.
The only trouble with the Sun project
Is thai the people do not want goldhaeks
anymore than they want gold bends.
What, they do want is a national currency
of silver, gold ami necessary Government
paper, the paper redeemhle in lawful
money and al1 based on _the bimetallic
otanuard of the constitution, What is
mere, they *?dII keep on lighting until
they tret it.
AN IMPERTINENT DIPLOMAT.
A represent!*!ive of a foreign govern
n ent residing in this country in pursuit
of his mission, under international law
and diplomat!" usage is not permit ted to
hold the slightest communication of an
ollicial character with any person, body
or even any branch of the Government,
txcepltng the State Department. rills
rule litis been carried so far that, when,
on a well-remembered occasion, Lotd
Snckville, then British minister here, re
plied to a letter fron: an alleged natural?
ized Briton in California, asking whether
people of his sort ought, to vote for Cleve?
land or'Harrison, that friends of the
British interests should n<<t vote against
the former (which was truo enough, God J
knows), he was ordered to leave our ter '
ritory Instanter. Although nn extreme
construction, this was right. It is au
affront for n foreign dlp!o>nnt to inter?
fere in the political affairs of the nation,
even in the most ludirect n anner.
What, then, shall we say of the oflense
of Sonor Dupuy de Lome, minister from
Spain, who, according to report.nnd with?
out any reasonable doubt vhnt we are
aware of, has dared to protest to the au?
thorities of an American college. In the
American Capital, against a prearranged
lecture before its faculty, alumni and UU
der-graduates, by a distinguished Ameri?
can citizen and ex-diplomat of high rank:-'
That is exactly what we understand
Senor Dupuy de Louie to have dene in
the matter of the lecture announced to
be given by the Hon. Hanois Taylor, at
the Catholic University, in the District
ol" Columbia.
The effrontery and impudence of it al?
most take away one's breath.
A WORD FOR THE GRABBER,
To the Editor of The Times: As the de?
linquent tsx law and so-called land grab?
bers aie receiving so much censure, let us
take au unbiased look at the matter.
Wny is it that so much properly has been |
allowed to be sold!' Did the owners think 1
the State and city could run without !
money? 1 knew nothing about the law, .
until last week I learned a piece of my |
property had been applied for. It had
been sold for taxes in the name of a for?
mer owner. I went to the grabber, who
at once said lie would withdraw his ap?
plication, but when 1 found out he could
get a deed and transfer the land to n e
under a perfect, title for less money than
1 could redeem it. f asked him to do so.
Why should the owner be required to pay
10 per cent, when the purchaser only pays
(i per cent:' I then went to the delinquent
tax bonk to sec what lam's had beeu sohl
to the State and individuals for taxes.
I found the bulk of them were owned by
corporations and individuals able to pay
but had paiil no tax for many years- Now
if all the lax due the State, counties and
cities coultl be collected, our tsxes could
be reduced one-half. I then begun to
think of a plan whereby the rax could be
collected am' no one damaged. First, the
law ought to require the clerks to pub?
lish a list jf all properties bought, by the
State ami individuals since 1^74 and not
redeemed, gt.'iug a full description of
properly, from whom and present owner,
stating th"it if not redeemed by owner or
purchaser by July, iSfis, said property
would be sohl at public auction to high?
est bidder, first having it located by the
country surveyor and advertised ninety
days the surplus over anil above taxes
and expenses of collection to go to the
school fund,or improvements of roads.
Now as t.-? the future, i would suggest
that no deed be admitted to record with?
out a certificate from the treasurer that
all taxes had been pait' up to date, and
no transfer could bo made till such a
deed, etc., had been recoided. To force
collection of taxes I would recommend
first, the sellitiL' of any salable property
found in the laud; second, the renting of
the land; third, the selling of the land
after due notice to all parties interested,
deed to be made in ninety days from Bile i
In a few short months the people will
see the good the grabber has done the
general taxpayer. Why, I understand
that in the city of Hnmoke alone two
building associations have paid $23,000
of delinquent taxes. Can anyone say
aught against, the law? As a general
thing it is either the man who has no
taxes to pay or the one who is trying 'o
stave oil" paying that is making the most
fuss stout the law and the grabber

GOV, ATKINSON'S DILEMMA,
Embarrassment Caused by Decision

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. :iO.?The "refusal ol
the United Slates supreme court to inter?
fere with the senteuce of death pro?
nounced upon Mrs. Elizabeth Nobles, an
old white vtoman of (iO, places Governor
Atkinson in an unpleasant'predicament,
Mrs. Nobles was tho wife t?f a Tw'.ggs
county fanner, of whose close exactions
she h; d grown I ired.
She made a confident of Gus Families,
her colored man-servant, who for tho
sum of ?10 consented to put the husband
out of the way. He did his work so
clumsily, ho.vever, that the wife had to
assist in completing the bloody work.
Then the women of the State arose in
protest against hanging a while woman,
an event which had,never occurred but
once, when ;Susan Eberhardt was exe?
cuted. It was owing to this pressure
that three new trials and an appeal to tho
United States court were granted. Mean
while, as an act of .just ice, the governor
extended the respite of Gus Fambb's to
await the result of the Nobles case.
Now that all legal cobwebs have been
swept away, the white women of the
State, headed by tho governor's wife,
urge that no white woman should hu
hanged, while the negroes to a man de?
clare that Kambien should not hang if the
principal criminal is permitted t > escape,
As a matter of'fact, four juries have
declared the crime one. to lie deserving
death, and the governor, much as he
would liice to save the woman, cannot do
so without saving the man, while his
Strict sense of justice says that they
should both be executed.
