THIS WINTER TO BE DECISIVE.

Views of Lord Churchill on the Disturbance
inCuba.
dispatch from Tampa, Fla. sent
last week, says:
Lord Winston Leonard Churchill, a
son of the late Lord Randolph Church
ill, lieutenant in the British army,
who has been with Gen. Valdez, in
command in Santa Clara, is in the
city. In an interview he said;
Il think the situation in Cuba is
serious The winter campaign is in
tended to be decisive. Should the
Spanish forces succeed in ejecting the
revolutionists from the provinces of
MatanZas aud Santa Clara this winter,
the fight will be prolonged indefinite
Is. as in the last revolution. If the
Struggle is prolonged the insurgents
will gain in numbers on account of the
general discomfort that will exist, and
the government, owing to the enor-
nous expense involved, will have to
decrease it's army and hold only the
principal points, while the country
and the smaller places will be given to
the insurgents. In that case the
country will soon be in wretched
condition, and the people will bring
much pressure to bear upon the in
surgents to terminate the struggle,
while the United States, in behalf of
her citizens interests, will similarly
press Spain, and the result will be that
Cuba will gain complete autonomy
and Spain will not lose her colony.
Should the Insurgents maintain their
position this winter in the provinces,
then the result is nearer and more

and the Cubans, who thoroughly I'M
derstand the woods, have the ad
vantage. Outside of England, do not
believe there is another country which
could successfully suppress that revo-
luton. There are $4,000 troops now
being run into Cuba, and unless those
in command have arranged very
brilliant coup, l cannot see where
these additional troops will help the
situation much"

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.

From the Industrial News, Jackson,
Mich.
Myron L. Root, worthy workman,
has lived for nearly twenty-five years
in the city of Jackson, Mich, at 25i
Adrian Ave, where he owns happy
home His health had failed him for
some years back, and the loss OF his
wife, two years ago, filled his cup of
misery to overfiowing. Grief and
worry soon brought on a stroke of
paralysis. A few weeks later he had
a second stroke, which totally dis
abied him. He could neither move
limb nor his head and had to be fed
like a baby. The best medical aid was
furnished him, and his friends did all
they could for him, but human hands
seemed powerless to give him relief.
Both physicians who were treating
him told him, after a consultation, that
there were no means of helping him.
He was then but a mere skeleton,
without power to move and scarcely
strength enough to express his wishes.
Death was truly much preferable to
a lingering life of such misery and
helplessness.
The marvellous cure, by Dr. Will
Jams Pink Pills, of a woman afflicted
similar to himself, which appeared in
the Industrial News, was read to him,
and although only a lingering spark
of hope existed, he consented to give
the medicine trial, but insisted that
another physician be called, in order
to lay the matter before him The
physician was summoned and after
a thorough examination OF the pa
tient and learning the history Of the
case, said that he could promise no re-
lief and advised him to try DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills, which he had often
known to succeed when everything
else had failed. The pills were pro-
cured, and he took them according to
directions, with the most wonderful re-
suit. At the end Of two weeks he could
walk, and at the end of four weeks.
although weak, he was perfectly cured
and is now able to do all kinds Of light
work.

ton he found awaiting him number
of letters from prominent Illinois DEM
ocratS asking him to be the Demo-
cratic standard bearer next year. Ma
tional Committeeman Gable, observing
the drift of sentiment came from
Washington to Chicago, looked over
the ground, talked to a score or more
of prominent business men of the
party and decided to hold confer
ence. Invitations were sent out to
Democrats in every congressional dis
trict and the outcome was the Great
Northern hotel conference and the or
ganization of the Democratic Literary
Bureau of Illinois. This bureau was
formed ostensibly for the purpose of
disseminating Democratic sound
money literature. This is true to
some extent, but the real purpose is
said to be to effect an organization in
every county which will work for
the nomination of James H. Eckels
for governor and also for a sound
money delegation to the next national
convention.
''Eckels or Altgeld?' promises, there
fore, to be the Democratic problem in
Illinois before many weeks Gov. Alt
geld apparently realizes that he is go
ing to have. a hard fight on his hands.
for it is an open secret that he is
negotiating for combination with the
friends Of W. r. Morrison looking to
combination Of forces. Morrison for
president and Altgeld for governor
would, in the mind of the practical pol
itician, make a strong team. There
are, however, many fences to tear down
and rebuild before such a deal can
be conSunmated.

HARDIN UnN0VED.
KENTUCISY1S CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR DEFENDS
HIMSELF.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 24-The
conference Of leading Democrats
called for today met at the state
headquarters at 100 behind closed
doors. The air was full of rumors
all the morning, but none could be
traced to any authoritative source.
The sound money Democrats out
number the silver men on the COM
mittee, but the majority of the COM
mittee are personal friends of Har>
din. Gen. Hardin and all of the
other candidates on the Democratic
ticket were present. Gen. Hardin
made a speech, full of vigor. He
Eition he has taken on the financial
question, contending that he was
standing on the platform and was
not in conflict with his party.
Hardin said he would submit to a
caucus of the party, but would not
yield to dictation. He asserted his
ability to construe the platform, and
said he abides by his utterances
which have been published, and has
nothing to retract or modify. When
he closed, there was warm applause
from the free silver men present.
All of the candidates, with the eX-
seption of Mr.. Taylor, candidate for
lieutenant governor, agreed to stand
by Mr.. Hardin in his construction
Of the platform. Mr.. Tyler an
nounced his purpose of continuing
to speak for sound money, no mat
ter what the utterances of the head
Of the ticket might be on the cur
rency question. a committee Of
i've, consisting of three silver men
and two gold men. was appointed
to draft an address to the Demo-
cratic voters of the state. The
voters will be called on to support
Gen. Hardin, as well as the remain
der of the ticket. The address will
also urge Democrats to drop the cur
rency issue. It was after 6 O'Clock
when the meeting adjourned.
