CUBA AND THE UNITED STATE S

The recent victories of the insur-
gents give the Cuban situation a new
interest to the people of the United
States. There is no longer any doubt
that the insurgent cause is steadily
growing stronger. Out of the maze
of contradictory stories and the repe-
tition of military movements under
different names of leaders and places,
it is easy to discern that the Span
iards are losing ground and losing
heart. The censorship which Gen.
Campos, the Spanish military COM
mander in the island, established over
the press in Havana and the rest of
the region still under the control of
Spain, and which prevented the press
from publishing reports of Spanish
reverses and Generalization, makes
this point clear.
Thus far during the instruction the
manifestation of annexation senti
ment in the United States has been
comparatively slight. The general
opinion in this country has been that
the rebellion would be subdued in a
few months, and that, though some
desultory fighting might be kept up
by the rebels for year or two, it
would be only a sort or guerrilla war
fare, maintained for the purpose of
plumber chiefly, as in some former
rebellions. But in the present upris-
ing the insurgents have mustered a
larger number and have revealed
greater discipline and more intelli-
gent direction than were shown even
in the great rebellion which began in
1868, and which severely taxed the
resources of Spain to subdue. The
Cubans' recent success will bring the
question of recognition by the United
States up for consideration and will
revive the feeling in favor of the ac-
QUESTION of the island which was ac-
lively revealed in the South forty
years ago, and which has had some
hold on the whole country for many
years.

an active movement to overthrow the
monarchy of Spain and to establish a
republic. A concerted uprising of re-

The statement is made that calves
from COWS affected with tuberculosis
when fed with milk from healthy cows
become healthy, and calves from
healthy COWS fed on milk from de-
ceased ones contract the disease. !t
is determined that the disease is
transmitted to persons as well as
cattle if the diseased milk is used.

For which you fought who lOWly sleep.

And those bereaYed have Joined your thrOng,

Your deeds shall garRish tale and song.
Green still your graves as years march on.

Sleep, while your country grateful tears
Bedew your quiet place OF rest,
Henceforth through all the coming years
To freedom and to country blest.
Dead now the raRcor once so rife,
And south 10 north is as a brother,
aud gallant deeds that marked the strife
They prize Ia common with each other.
Those who for freedom and the flag
Laid down their lives without repining,
Enshrined with those who did not lag
When star of southland was declining.
Who would not dare to share your fate
The soldiers death, the patriots grave
Is worthy of freemans hate
And only fit to be a slave.

OPPOSITE VIEW By LAUGHLES.
he Talked From the Standpoint of Gold
MORomettalist Greatest Debate Since
That of Lincoln ana Douglas.

CHICAGO, May ia stirring politi-
cal encounter took place Friday night
hardly paralleled in the west since the
famous struggle between Lincoln and
Douglas just On the eve of the civil war.
The proposition to be discussed was
read as follows:
Resolved, That the United States should enter
at once upon the free coinage Of silver, at the
ratio Of 16 to l. independent of the action of any
other nation.
Mr.. William II. Harvey, author Of
"Coin's Financial School" spoke on the
affirmative, and J. Lawrence Laughlin,
professor of political economy in the
Unworthy of Chicago, the favorite au-
thority of President Cleveland, took
the negative side of the debate. The
debate was held in the rooms of the
Illinois club, which we're crowded by
prominent business and professional
men, all eager to hear the merits of the
opposing issues.
The audience, although evenly divid-
ed as to the proposition, were unani-
nous in pronouncing MIR. Harvey the
victor. He said:

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1895-04-26

Manufacturers of beer may have
to pay sixteen cents a barrel for the
privilege of making the beverage.
The Cochrane bill making the tax
sixteen cents barrel is still hung
up in the House Committee on
Ways and Means, but there is a
movement on foot among the grang
ers in the Legislature to have it re-
ported in view of the falling off in
revenues from other sources. 1t is
claimed that tax of sixteen cents
per barrel would be more equitable
than fixed license fee, the theory
being that the small brewers pay too
much in comparison with large man
ufacturers of the extract of hops and
barley. Some one figures that tax
of sixteen cents barrel would in>
crease the revenue at least $800,000.
