Here is an example Of woman's In
dependence and business ability that
1t would be well for others of our girls
to emulate. Miss Jessie Moore the en-.
ergetic and capable primary teacher in
the Hillsdale Iowa school has bought
and cribbed 500 bushels Of corn at that
point at the present low prices and will
hold until the inevitable rise in price
will enable her to secure handsome
profit from her investment. She con-
templates buying about 10000 bushels
altogether. Miss Moore Is certainly an
enterprising young lady and such ac-
ton on her part speaks volumes of her
business qualities.

the giving
To some, the New Year may not hold many
aurng prospects, rather they think it does not but
if we cannot be happy for any other reason let be
happy because things worse.
Financial prosperity is not the only thing to make
happy, there other things, yes many things of
much greater Importance make mar your happiness
five all have plenty of food to eat ard good cloth
ing keep warm, and friends meet and share our
Joys and sorrows-we should be reasonably happy-but

everything intended saying about the good honest
goods soe sell and about Your Money Back and etc.
we have used up all our space. But will have

That DOnt Explain.

Some of cur free-silver exchanges are
irving TO explain away the action OF the
recent Democratic State Convention OF
Kentucky. They seek to make 1t appear
that that convention was in fact governed
by the free silverites. We have found
no occasion TO change. ground on on tbs sub
iect. We said before the convention met
that a failure on the part OF the Tree
silverites to control il would be in effect
an irreparabe loss to the silverltes-a
loss from which they could never recover
There is nothing that succeeds like sue
cess, we repeat and aftsr-convention ex-
plantations. like backatairs wit, are al
ways just little too late.
The Augusta (Ga) Chronicle and Sentl-
mel. on the other hand, regards the action
OF the late Kentucky convention as COM
promise. Ii says:
"The Kentucky Democratic convention
was in the nature of compromise. III
reafrirned the Chicago platform of 1892.
endorsed the administration Of President
Cleveland. and nominated a free-silver
candidate for Governor. The convention
ala not declare for the single gold stand
ard. but both sides can claim the victory.
The gold men declare that they triumphed
I'm preventing an express declaration in
favor Of free-silver-coinage. And tnis
seems to b. correct. But the silver-men
have the candidate and this is triumph
for their side. As suggested by the CO.
lumbia state. the victory for the admin
istration appears to be personal rather
than financial.
And We repeat that no sort of explana-
ton will suffice TO prevent the people
generally from regarding as failure what
the silverites did in Kentucky. "Who ex-
cuses accuses himself" Whoever explains
explains away his whole case. We do not
pretend to say that there is not still
large silver party in Kentucky,
nor that 1t Is not carrying on
vigorous battle. All that we maintain is
that after all is said and done. the damage
done by the late convention to the silver
cause will prove to be irreparable.
General Warner. the free-silver leader
Of that name. says the Kentucky conVeh-
tion was packed-with office-holders. we
nresume he means But that charge VIII
soon be forgotten. and the fact VIII re-
main that the anti-silverltes were ac-
counted victorious by the people BesiueT'
Il IS said, and we know no reason LOT
denying the truth of the statement 'hat
the party machinery under when the
convention was held was in control Oh
free-silver Democrats.
The lesson we would teach is that' let
the action OF the Kentucky convention be
what 1t may have been. 1t does not de-
mand Of the Democrats OF Virginia mat
they shall cross bridge before they
net 10 il. In 1896 there will be conditions
existing which ought TO and will control
our action. Let us await that time win
patience. confident that its developments
win point out clearly the road which duty
demands of us to pursue.

Qucsndn to Americans.

General Rafael de Quesada. who Is ut
the head OF the Cuban movement in TINS
country. has issued an address to the
American people, in which he says, among
other things:
81 find American sentiment with us.
I have more than thousand letters
from leading citizens OF the united
States expressing sympathy and oiterlhS
aid in behalf of free Cuba.
II have told all these sestlemen that
we cannot violate the law. They must
wait until we are recognized as belliger-
ents by the United States Government.
Cuba is practically ours. Victory Is
already in sight. We occupy nearly all
the island. The Spanish soldiers nave
the towns and the ground they stand on.
That is all They have no uniforms, no
food. no pay, and the subordinate officers
treat them cruelty. They are dying by
thousands.
THE yellow fever has begun its terri
BILE march. Despite statements to the
contrary, the death-rate among the
Spanish troops is appalling. The rein
forcements asked for by General Campos
are TO fill broken regiments. The pesti-
lence is sweeping away the soldiers at
increasing speed.
General Campos a rev weeks ago had
a total force Of 1900 men. We have
10000 armed soldiers in the field, but
we have 10000 men ready to go to the
front and fight as soon as they can
get guns and ammunition. The situa-
ton IN Cuba has changed within n
week"
We can readily believe that yellow-fever
is destroying more troops than are killed
in many battles, but we fear General Que
sada is over-sanguine in anticipating
early success for his cause. Spain will
do her utmost to hold the gem of her
colonial possessions.

tary Of the French Timetable League
have arrived here. and have had con-
ference with representatives OF the Ger
man Bimetalic Union, OF which herreh
Won Mirbach and Won kardoi, ana Dr'
Arendt were present The object OF the
conference was TO agree upon joint ac-
tion for the promotion of the bimetailic
movement.
Before coming to Berlin the French
Delegates held a conference with repre-
sentatives Of the British Timetable
League.
The world needs free coinage, but not
free coinage by single nation. Inere
must be cooperation before there can
be success in the bimetallic movement.
The world can't do without silver CONS
for use In everyday business transac-
tons. Whoever should propose to aboiish
silver coins would bring upon his head
thousands OF imprecations.
Mr.. Cleveland is too strict In MS con-
struction OF the congressional resolution

In Eastern Kentucky last Friday man
known as bad Tom" Smith was executed
for murder. But before going to the
scaffold he was carried to the river and
baptized in the presence of thousands.
His relatives engaged in prayer. and
then Smith was shaken by the hand, "as
II, indeed, he had been regenerated by
the sacred rite" The Louisville Courier
Journal says that the scenes
around the scaffold. the delay,
the confessions extorted by ter
ror. his long speech 20 the crowd, the
historical prayer, and the final shrek
of the lost soul, IS he was hurled into
eternity, though ciudely told, are as
thrilling as any similar narrative that
Scott or any other novelist ever wrote
Smiths body was carried over nifty miles
OF mountain road 10 the family buryinG-
ground. There was another impressive
incident" Uhe Courier-Journal adds)-"the
presence Of Mrs. RAIDER. the widow OF one
of Smiths victims at the scaaold and
her lifting OF the orphans to behold the
end OF their fathers murderer; but this Is
another horrible shock"
And yet we understand from the
Courisr-Journal that Kentucky has a law
requiring all executions to be private!
