L. cuba To Near for Safety.

Cuba so nearly touches our shores
and so manifestly of our own geogrA-
phicsl system, that no American
statesman may leave lite immediate
future out of his earnest, il not anxious
consideration. Any maritime power
that should occupy it could readily
make q mare cldUsUH of the Gulf OF
Mexico; for Cape Antonio, its western
extremity, is separated from Cape
Catoche, on the coast Of Yucatan, by
little more than one hundred miles
Of seaway, while Cape Micacos is only
q hundred miles distant from Florida,
the larger part Of the distance filled by
the Bahama banks and islets. Thu :
manifestly, this great island do
inmates not only the Gulf of Mexico,
but all the approaches thereto. More
over, il lies broadside to the track OF
our commerce by water with Mexico,
and is of still greater importance to the
trade Of the chief part of our cotton .
producing states, not only with
Europe, but with the North Atlantic
seaboard. Its capital city is only
seven hours distant by steam from Key
West, LEES than sixty hours from the
mouth of the Mississippi river, and
but sixty six hours by rail and water
via Tampa, Florida, from the city Of
/ Washington.

Lone Rock moved up, and Tapped
Greg0ry's wheel, but on coming into
the homestIe etch, went all to pieces,
and Gregory finished under pull in
2:35, Topeka, two lengths behind,
Lone Rock next and Onward last.
The third neat was started with
Lone Rock slightly in the lead. Al
the first turn Topeka broke and fell
back, Gregory and Lone Rock going
ahead, the former leading. On the
Dackstretch, Onward broke and Tope-
ka moved up to third place. From
the half mile pole up to the lower
urn IL was q close race and q rapid
pace between Gregory and Lone Rock,
but just at the turn Lone Rock went
up and Gregory pulled away. Lone
Rock recovered quickly, however. and
With q grand spurt, came into the
homsstretch leading, with Gregory
close behind. At this junctuFe II was
plainly Lone Rocks heat, but from
some cause, whether in horse or driver
be zlgzagged down the stretch, and
making bad break at the flag, allow
ed Gregory to come ia q winner in
2:34l, Topeka third and Onward
fourth. The fourth heat let Gregory
off in the lead. Lone Rock was close
up, but broke before reaching the
turn. At the quarter Gregory led,
with Topeka almost on even terms,
Onward third. Down the back stretch
Gregory and Topeka made q pretty
race for first place. Lone Rock had
N awhile found his fs t, and with q
surpris ng burst Of speed closed up the
gap, coming into the homestretch on
almost even terms with the leaders,
but just as be appeared to have
chance TO make a race, he went up
again. Gregory and Topeka bad not
parted C ompany, and in this heat
showed the most exciting finish Of the
meeting. From the beginning Of the
stretch to the wire they were neck and
neck and coming as steqdy as clock
work. ThouRh Gregory had q slight
lead, Topeka fairly outfOOted him, and
passed under the wire winner by q
scant head in 2:34, Lone Rock third
and Onward fourth.
The fifth and deciding heat gave
Onward the lead in the stsrt. Lone
Rock broke on nearing the first turn,
and while on the run bis driver cut
square across the right Of way of the
other horses, taking the pole, compell-
ing them TO pull up and drive around
him, " hich they did, leaving him be-
hind. Gregory was leading at the
quarter, with Topeka close up and
Onward about two lengths behind
him. Down the back stretch Topeka
made a good race, and at the lower
turn showed in front for a few seconds,
but was unable 10 hold his ground or
his gait, and went up, Gregory passing
bim and gaining every step, until,
when turning into the homestretch,
he led by several lengths, and came
home an easy winner, Topeka second,
Onward third and Lone Rock fourth.

A CHILD WOMAN.
The Greatest Curiosity In Robertson
County Near Adams Station.

The Springfield Record of this
week has the following: "Perhaps
the greatest curiosity in Robertson
county was in town Monday. 1t is
the daughter of Mrs. M. w. Ledbet-
ter of Adams Station. She was TWEEN
ty years old last February, is just
three feet tall, and has never walk
ed nor talked. Her weight is thirty
five pounds.
"The passer by would suppose her
to be a baby about two years old,
from the long child's dress and the
position in her mothers arms.
"Her face is large and round, also
her head, and suffering is expressed
in every feature of her face. Her
teeth are as large as those of other
women. Her hands are small and
shriveled like those of old people.
"Those who have known this child
woman all her life say she has not
grown particle in fifteen years"

A writer In the Toiler asks this
question: "Who but the money
party is making war on silver ?'
Well, read Brother Macune's Nash
Vile speech and see how beautifully
he talks about his sub treasury plac-
ing the country on gold basis by
calling on the London spectators to
value your produce by their gold
standard and never mentioned silver
a single time. We thought farmers
were claiming the right to value
their own produce and wanted plen-
ty Of the money OF our daddies to
mako them independent on that
score, but this new and brilliant
economist says you must leave thi>
matter to the gold plutGcracy Of
England. Read the closing of that
speech carefully.

Tho Toiler copies this comment
from the Issue, the prohibition organ
which is defending Mcdowell: "But
this is no mere Mcdowell fight, it is
open and declared war on the ALI
ance because they know that it is the
wedge that is sundering the solid
Democratic South" This is just
what we have contended all along
that Macune and Mcdowell We're
misleading and using the Alliance to
split the solid South and let Republic
cans rc.elect Harrison and the 1892
congress, pass the Force bill and per-
petuate Republican rule. The Issue
seems to understand this McDowelPs
record in Arkansas and Macune's
gold bug speech at Nashville con-
cealed in his sub-treasury scheme,
fully justify this conclusion,

THE PARTISAN PRESS.
Resolutions Adopted BY The Montsom-
cry County Union July A.


To The Tobacco Leaf Chroniele.1
At the meeting OF the County
Union at GAINESVILLE Saturday, July
4, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we denounce as
unjust and wrong the attempt that
is being made by some of the parti-
san papers to disrupt and break down
through almost every means in their
power an organization whose aims
and objects are to release the farmers
and others of tie great industrial
classes of the country from the ava
ricious, grasping power of speculative
rings and mOnied monOpolies, and to
obtain if possible equal rights and
justice for all persons, irrespective OF
class or condition in life.
Resolved, That whilst the said par
tisan press may and do have the right
to denOunce as wrong any measure
of public policy that they may deem
injurious to the best interest of the
government and its people, provided
they can give proper reasons for so
doing, they have, under no circum-
stances, any just, legal or moral right
to denounce as traitors, or seek to
besmirch the good name or character
of any officer or member of this Or
ganization, or other person, for hon
estly entertaining or expressing diff
ferent views from themselves as re-
CARDS any proposed public measure.
Resolved, That we shall deem it
our duty as just and honorable citi-
zens to regard as unworthy of conf
dence slanderous statements, in
duced by personal and partisan pre-
judice, and made for partisan pur-
poses against officers and members of
our order, until sufficient and proper
evidence is adduced to fully sustain
the truth of the same, and we de-
mand proof of the charges against
Macune and other leaders of the ALI
ance.
Resolved, further, That a copy OF
these resolutions be furnished the
county papers and the Weekly Toiler
at Nashville for publication.

The LEAF-CHRoNICLE publishes
to day the resolutions passed at the
meeting Of the County Wheel last
Saturday, in which it was resolved to
rebuke the partisan press for stric-
lures OF Macune and other leaders,
and in which it demanded proof of
the charges against Macune and
other leaders Of the Alliance" In
the face OF McDowcll's undenied
charge against Macune, as well as
McDowell's part in whitewashing
him, and the affidavits Of the best
citizens of Desha county, Ark, con-
cerning McDowelPs record, these
resolutions are about the most eX.
quisite piece of grim humor to be
found anywhere.

The Extra Session.

The LEAF-CHRONICLE reporter in
terviewed a number of the lawyers
and other prominent citizens this
morning on the question of an extra
session of the Legislature, and found
some difference of sentiment on the
question, and a great deal of indif
ference as TO whether there should be
an extra session or not. Some were
opposed to it, while Others thought
the body should be convened to set
at rest all doubts as to the election
laws, and the reapportionment of the
State. They all agreed, however, as
to two propositions, one that the
Governor ought to be the Judge of the
necessity for converting the Legisla
ture in extra session, and should take
the responsibility of acting on his
own judgment for the general good
of the State; that he is in position to
know better the needs of the State
than individuals or bodies of the PEG
pie.
Second-In the event of an extra
session, the Legislature should make
a liberal appropriation for State ex-
hibition at the. Worlds Fair. 1t
should be liberal or none at all.
Anything less than $4,000 would be
money wasted. Two, we believe,
opposed any appropriation or extra
session.
