Sherman Register says that Gull
berson infused new life into the
state legislature, but fails to say
what the legislature infused into
the gubernatorial mess OF pottage
There was just about as hot stuff
in the legislative criticism as in the
message that called it out. Honors
are uneasy.

The universal cry in all lands Is
that the taxes eat up the substance
Of the people, and America is no
exception to the rule. This Is the
great complaint of the Cuban in
surgents, that they are ruinously
taxed in their industries and in
their persons and in their occupa-
tiOns. On the other hand the great
landed proprietors OF Great Britain
and the continent complain that
they are not only getting reduced
returns from their properties every
year, but that in numerous in.
stances the returns only pay a
small per cent on outlay for i'm
provements, leaving nothing for in
come. Unless grave error has
been made here is a state of affairs
that is peculiar. If the land own
ers are unable the derive revenues
from the lands at present rentals
and these eat up the substance of
the farm tenants, then it might be
we'll to turn out the lands, parcel
ling them out among small holders
and see what the result will be.
The landlords would be freed from
the burden of Improvements that
bring in no revenue, and the land
workers would have a chance to see
if they could make more out Of
their occupation than their present
owners. The case is a good deal
mixed.

Retrlbution still at times follows
hard on the heels Of crime, as was
the case with that Georgia ravlsher
who paid the penalty of his brutal

Against such punishment there is

Habits of industry cannot be too
early acquired, nor can they well
be overrated, but the industry that
is only industrious for industry's
sake is not worth cultivating.
Laziness has its uses as well, and
in this age it may not be alto
gether amiss to cultivate it little.

The attempts that have been
made by the colored men of the
United States to improve their
condition by emigration or by
colonization in some other section
Of the American continent, have
not so far been attended with good
results. Whether on account OF
insuperable obstacles in the way
Of natural conditions, or because
the movements have not been
wisely undertaken does not appear

Harry Hayward Pours Out HIS wrath
on Hiss Brother.
MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Dec. l0.-Adry
| Hayward visited his brother Harry,
who is under sentence TO hang for the
murder offCatherine Cling. The meet
ing between the brothers was ar
ranged by the parents, who beseeclled
the condemned man to. see Adry once
more before he died. He remained
obstinate to their ~entreaties for a long
time, but finally yielded, and sent by
messengers a note reading: "Dear
Adry:-I want you to come at once to
the Jail, as I wish particularly to see
you. 1 have no other object than the
desire to ask your forgiveness for any
wrong, either real or imaginary, I may
have done you. lwant once more to
| see you on this earth. This. is the wish
and dying request of your brother.
HARRY"
When Adry reached the jail the two
brothers engaged in interested CONVEX
sation. What passed was not heard
by any person until Harry raised his
voice to say: s'Now 1 have done my
part. l have forgiven you for all you
have done. Now you do as l ask.
"But, Harry, how can II" returned
Adry, appeallngly.
The answer was too much for the
prisoner. He sprang to his feet and
poured fourth a TRADE of abuse never
before heard in the old jail:
"You low down, mean, contemplate,
miserable, dalnnable wretch. You re-
fuse to do that, after what / have
done. You God-forsalsen tool. You
have played a good part, but now |
can tell you what I think Of you. My
letter to you was after all only a decoy
for that purpose. You ID william.
If l could only get at you I'd dig out
your brains with a knife. I would
tear out your heart with my hands. I
| would crush the two together, cut
them to pieces, squeeze out the juice,
make it into a pie and thrust it down
your throat
He clenched his hands in his rage
and stamped his feet fercely. His
face wa ashen and livid by turns.
Adry sat quiet for a few minutes, but
seeing the uselessness Of waiting
longer, arose and started to go.
God bless you. Good-by, Harry"
he called sadly, as he was about to go
down the stairs.
"Oh, you villain" was the return
greeting. MAY the curse of God fall
on you and yours and allow me to
haunt you until your dying day. Aha!
l will meet you on the brink of hell
with a redhot poker"

c c AT ANY o S
General Gomez Issues a Proclamation to

the Cubans.
HAVANA, Dec, 1O.-General Gomez
has issued the following explanation
Of his order to burn plantations:
ITO the honored men, victims of the
torch-The painful measure made
necessary by the revolution for the re-
demption of this land, dreuched in in
nocent blood (from Hatucy to our own
times) by cruel and merciless Spain,
will bring misery upon you. AS gen.
~eral-in-chief of the army of liberation,
it is my duty to lead it to victory
without permitting myself to be held
back or terrified by any means neces.
sary to place Cuba in the shortest
time in possession Of her dearest ideal.
!, therefore, place the responsibility
for SO great ruin on those who look on
impassively and force us to these ex-
treme measures, which later, fools and
dolts that they are, they condemn.
After so many wears of prayer, hui
imitation, contumely, repatriation and
death, when this people of it's own
Will has arisen in arms, there remains
noSother aim but to triumph. 1t mat
ters not what e are employed to
accomplish it. This people cannot
hesitate between the wealth of Spain
and the liberty of Cuba. It's greatest
crime would be to stain the land with
blood without effecting it's purpose be-
cause of puerile scruples and fears,
which do not accord with the charac.
ter OF the men whom we meet in the
field challenging the fury of an army
which is n of the bravest in the
world. but which in this war is with
out enthusiasm or faith, without food
or hope of glory.
"The war did not begin February
"a; it is about to begin now. The rev
o%lutionary spirit, always magnifed at
the beginning by wild enthusiasm,
had to be organized, Gained and led
into the proper channels. The strug-
gle ought to begin in obedience to a
plan more orless methodically studied
out, but which may be accommodated
to the peculiarities of this war. This
now has been done. Let Spain at once
send her soldiers to rivet the chains of
her slaves, now that the children of
the land are in the field armed with
the arms of liberty. The struggle will
be terrible, but the end will crown the
resolution and courage Of the OPP
pressed.-The general in chief-Max-
isno Gomez"

Rumors That the Ex-Presidcnt Is En-

WASHINGTON, Dec. loft is reported
that Mrs. Dimmock, the attractive,
niece of Mrs. Harrison, whose pres
ence at the White house added SO
much to the social charm Of President
Harrison's administration, will soon
be married to the ex-president..
Those who " extremely near ex.

when asked about the marriage that
was reported to be forthcoming. The
person, however. who is responsible
ior the declaration declares not only
that the engagement is a fact, butsthat
the wedding viii take place at an
early date.
Every one who took any part in the
social life Of the Harrison administra-
ton, remembers with the greatest de-
llghtSM Mrs. Dimrnock's presence in the
White house. She was extremely pop-

American bicycles have been exported
from the port OF New York to the Brit
ish East Indies, the British West In

for all the world to ride. There are
few civilized lands in which American
bicycles will not be in use next season,
and everywhere they may be tried they
will surely win their way.

The Ambassadors Still Afraid to Act-De-
tails Of the sivas Massacre.
CoNsTANTINorLE, Dec. lO.-The ques-
ton Of the extra guardships Of
the powers is still unsettled.
Statements are constantly reiterated
of the continued accord Of the
powers on the subject and their I'M
yielding determination to insist
upon . compliance with their de-
mands, but less is heard of the ru-
mors that the Sultan has decided to
grant the necessary firearms to permit
the passage of the Dardanelles, or
even that he had actually issued them.
Neither is there explicit announce
menta any more Of the period which is
to elapse before q movement of the
warships of the powers is to commence.
Opinion continues divided as to
whether the delay in taking action is
due to a fear of causing q fanatical
outbreak against the Christians by
the Mussulman subjects of the Sultan.
or to a dread of a clash ensuing be-.
tween the powers themselves.
Authentic details of the Sivas a
sacre show that it began November 1
and continued for a week. Twelve
hundred Armenians and ten Turks
were killed. At noon Of November l.
as ii by a preconcerted signal, the
Turkish soldiers and police, the
Circassians and even the laborers
and Moslem women and children.
rushed into the market under
command of the officers. All
we'll armed, the laborers with tools or
clubs, or anything hat could be used
as offensive weapons. They attacked
and looted the Armenign shops and
pursued with relentless fury the occu-
pants who seemed helpless with SUR
prise at the ~suddeuness of the on
slaught. Many merchants and clerks
were killed and their bodies stripped.
AS the importing business was almost
exclusively in the hands of the
Armenians, financial disaster must
overtake Silvas when the fury
OF the storm of blood and greed has
subsidized. The stricken Armenlans
slowly gathered the mangled corpses
of their kinsmen and buried them in a
great trench in the cemetery. The
Armenian villages in the vicinity
were also looted and the people left to
beg and die. A high official declares
that the massacre was the deliberate
act of the SuItan's vengeance for hav-
ing been compelled to grant the re-
forms in Armenia demanded by the
powers.

PROTECTS USERS OF "ROYAL."
Baking Powder Company Wins It's Case in
United States Court.

- l
The decision Of Judge Showalter in
4 recent case that came up before him
,ustains the claims of the Royal com
pany to the exclusive use of the name
Royal" as a trademark for it's baking
powder. The special Importance Of
this decision consists in the protection
which it assures to the millions Of con-
sumers of Royal baking powder against
inferior and unwholesome compounds.
The excellence Of this article has
caused it to be highly esteemed and
largely used almost the world
Its high standard of quality
having been always maintained,
consumers have come to rely i'm
plicitly upon the Royal brand as
the most wholesome and efficient of.
any in the market. The cupidity OF
other manufacturers is excited by this
high reputation and large demand.
Very few of the hundreds of baking
powders on the market are safe to use.
If their makers could sell them under
the name of a we'll known, reputable
brand incalculable damage would be
done to the public health by the de-
ception. The determination of the
Royal Baking Powder Company to
protect the users Of the Royal baking
powder against imitators by a rigid
prosecution of them makes such imita-
tions of its brand extremely rare.

Remarkable Career of Mary Thurman,
the Ohio statesrnan's Daughter.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. lO.-News
m from the new and lonesome
desert mining camp of Picacho, on the
Colorado Desert, near Yuma, that the
richest strike in all that section in
years has just been made by Mary
Thurman, a daughter of Judge Thur
man of Ohio, who has had as strange
a career as any heroine of a far Wess
novel. She was prospecting in the
hills and found a vein that promises
to make her a bonanza queen.

Roosevelt, sister Of the Secretary of
the United States embassy. Cowles
and she soon disagreed, and he per-
mitted her to get a divorce. Then she
came West to San Diego and lived at
Tia Juan on the Mexican line. There
she met and married Thomas Clifford,
a dashing adventurer, who proved to
have a wife and two little children.
Then she went home to see her mother
before the old lady died, but Judge
Thurman refused to permit her to
enter the door and she returned. She
got a divorce from Clifford, and then
she surprised her friends by marrying

which are competing for the next ma.
tional Republican convention, are all
well represented here by delegations.
Very few claims as to the actual num-
Der OF votes expected to be polled for
p respective cities are put out, the
only statements advanced being .sthat
we are here to win"
st. Louis has a good sized delegation
here also, about fifteen having arrived
yesterday in addition to those already
here. The arrivals included Richard
Y. Aerensy q member of the national
COMMITTEES. Mayor Walbridge of st.
Louis, ex-Representative Frank and
$. M. kennard, a prominent business
man. These three will make the
arguments and what St.
Louis has to offer. Major William
Warner of Kansas City, who is
also a member of the st. Louis
delegation, said last night: "We
feel very much encouraged and think
we have an equal show with any other
city at present In the first place, it
is neutral ground between the presi-
Dental candidates, and it might be
said between the sectional feeling of
the country. It is a great Republican
city and we can furnish a hall that
will seat Is, 900 in a building that is
absolutely safe, with an abundance of
committee rooms. Our hotel accom-
modations will be equal to the de-
mand, and there will be no raising of
prices"
The San Francisco delegation, who
are making a hard fight for the con-
vention, held a meeting last night, at
which their plans were discussed and
o programme mapped out. M. III. De
Young, who reached the city yester-
day, presided. The members of the
committee feel very much encouraged
over the outlook that San Francisco
has a bigger following than any other
place, and there are a number OF com
mitteemen who favor it for second
choice.
The national committee assembled
at 2 o'clock to begin the hearing of the
advocates OF the cities. The original
purpose was to meet at II o'clock to-
morrow morning, but the influx of en-
thusiastic advocates of cities seeking
the convention made it desira BILE to
have the preliminary speeches TODAY.
As n of the officers of the committee
stated, to-day would be given to
working off the steam,'' after which
the committee would get down to bus
mess, behind closed doors. About all
of the members of the committee were
present..
