How to Kill Town and How Build
up One.
TO KILL A TOWN.

To Landlords-Charge four prices
for vacant lots. Never repair your
houses. Ask extortionate rents. Ex-
tend no accommodation to purchasers.
To Merehants-Never Advertise
Neglect to sustainyour paper. Charge
high prices for your goods.
To Mayor and Couneil-Heap up
taxes. Come down heavy on license
to trade and professions. Never re-
pair your streets and sidewalks.
To Citizens Generally-Be sure and
buy as little in your town as you posi-
bly, can. Send abroad for everything
you need. Curse and abuse your town
generally and avoid all new eomers as
natural enemies. And let some lead
ing paper stop.
TO BUILD UPA TOWN.
Landlords-Should put their rents
down to a reasonable figure Erect
andkeep in repair, at reasonable rents,
houses upon vacant lots. If any per-
son wants lot to erect shop or fac
tory, give it to him, rather than go
elsewhere
s--Advertise freely, sustain
your town paper, and don't be trying
to injure each other.
Mayor and town Council-Keep your
streets in repair, maintain law and or
der, tax lightly upon all-especially
trades and professions.
Citizens-Sustain your government.
Patronize home Institutions. We'll
come new comers, especially mechanics
aad tFadesmen. Be Industrious, sober
and law abiding. Cherish your schools
and churches, and sustain the leading
paper in the town.

CUBA.

The end Of the war in Cuba bids
fair TO leave that beautiful island
desolated- lnecndiarism follows the
footsteps Of war, the slaves burning
fields, while the insurgents are
destroying property in towns
and villages. The greater paa't of
the island is now the scene Of this
wholesale destruction, and however
the war may terminate, it will
leave a task OF complete rehabita-
ton FIR the hands Of its posscssors.
Slavery, at least, is doomed, and
whether the insurgents or the
tOyalists IRE successful, n recon.
strncbioA Of tho island must follow,
and a new Cuba gradually take the
place Of the old. Spain, harassed
by the obstinate and, as yet. fruit
lsss war between the Rcpubic-r s
and Carlfsta, cannot spare an over
whslming force to crush the insur.
gents, and the probabilities are they
will eventually become masters of.
