We are glad 10 see that the colored peo-
pie OF this county are beginning 10 take
the right view OF the no fence law"
Heretofore they have had the impression
that 20 require cattle 10 be fenced IN

would be Of benefit only TO the land
owners. who are almost all white men.
They are beginning 10 understand that
this impression is an erroneous one.
What the colored people of the county
want particularly is a wider opportunity
10 improve their material condition. They
want chance 10 own homes Of their own.
with a piece Of land attached on which
they can make a living They are de-
prived OF this chance now. because they
have not the means 20 fence land, which
they can buy at a low price per acre or
rent for a small annual rental. There are
thousands OF acres Of very productive land
In the county which would quickly be put
under cultivation if q vas not for the ex-
pense Of fencing it. and keeping the fences
In repair. The owners Of this land would
gladly sell OF rent it 10 colored people. and
even II the most of it should be cultivated
by white people the colored people would
be employed to do the work necessary TO
be done. From any point of view. there

benefciarles of a mo fence law"

mo fence law" should be adopted there
would be a great many more of them. For
a hundred dollars or so they could pur-
chase four or FIVE acres and borrow
enough money to put up a comfortable
cabin. If they were thrifty and intelli-
gent it would not take them long to pay
off the debt. and then they would own their
homes and be able to put aside something
for old age.
AS long as cattle are allowed to run at
large, destroying the drains and making
it impossible to cultivate the land without

fact that the drainage work is making all

The more the colored people think about
this matter the more inclined they will be
to give their hearty approval of any ef-
fort that may be made to adopt the mo

Recently it has been asserted by some
newspapers that President Cleveland has
become a convert to the income tax
The assertion is incorrect. Considered
as an original proposition he no more ia
vors an income tax now than he did last
summer. His position with regard to the
matter is thus set forth by Walter Well
man, of the staff of the Chicago Times
Herald, who has taken the pains to inform
himself: HE does not believe in income
taxes. but the present act having reached
the statute books and the time having
come for the people to pay their taxes
under its provisions the President be-
lieves that it would be better for the
country if the constitutionality of the law
We're upheld by the supreme court. To
strike down the law at this juncture
would seriously disarrange the govern
ment finances, and by making a special
session of congress necessary seriously
disturb the commercial world, now in need
of a long rest from congressional menace.
For these reasons and not because he be-
lieves in the principles of income taxa
ton the President hopes the supreme
court will sustain the law"

for the next five months, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. Il am the iuckIest man

meerschaum pipe-a beauty, worth ST.

case. I've got seven of them left, and if
you'll give me 81 I'll give you the lot

saw 1t was snap; so l borrowed 81 and
took the pipes. put up the best one for
rattle with our company, the first day
the ghost walked, for $l2, and one of the
girls won it. As she didn't need a pipe
she put it up again, and got ten out of it.
and l won the pipe back on a 5O-cent
chance. ratified it off again the same day
for Sc, and had six pipes left. Well, sir.
you'd never believe it, but l cleared S37

mouth-piece that smelled worse than a
dead mackerel.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Youths Com
panion.
There's many house of grandeur,
With turret, tower and dome.
That knows not peace nor comfort.
And does not prove home.
l do not ask for splendor
To crown my daily lot,
But this l ask: A kitchen
Where the kettles always hot.
If things are not all shipshape,
1 do not fume or fret,
A little clean disorder
Does not my nerves upset.
But one thing is essential,
AS seems so to nay thought,
And that's a tidy kitchen.
Where the kettles always hot.
In my Aunt Hattie's household,
Though the skies outside are drear,
Though times are dark and troubled.
You'll always find good cheer.
And in her quaint old kitchen.
The very homhest spot,
The kettles always singing,
The waters always hot
And IL you have a headache,
Whate'er the hour may be,
There is no tedious waiting
To get your cup of tea
don't know how she does it,
Some magic she has caught
For the kitchens cool in summer
Yet the kettles always hot.
Oh, there's naught else so dreary
In any household found
As a cold and sullen kettle
That does not make a sound
And l think that love is lacking
In the hearts in such a spot,
Or the Kettle would be singing
And the water would be hot.

The revolt in Cuba Grows in strength
and intensity. The whole island is rapidly
becoming q great military camp. The
Cub1ns are responding TO the call o. their
chiefs and are being formed into com
panies. battalions and regiments. And
II the reports are reliable they are holding
their ground against the trained troops
or Spain. and are even winning victories.
The Cubans have evidently determined
to make a supreme effort for independence.
They do not expect that success will be
achieved easily. but they appear to be
confident that they viii succeed. They
are poor ia arms and ammunition. and
that Is one Of the reasons probably why
the number Of the revolutionists In the
field is not greater. In proportion. how
ever. as the prospects OF the revoiutionists
brighten the efforts to supply them with
arms and ammunition will increase. Spain
has q fine navy. but IT will be impossible
for her to closely guard the whole of the
Cuban coast II is reported that the
Cubans are likely TO receive assistance by
way Of Hayti. and % will be a difficult
matter for our government to prevent
shipments Of arms from some one of her
many ports II IL gets 10 be understood
that the Cubans have chance for sue
cess. and that they are united and deter
mined. they will receive encouragement
and assistance from unexpected sources
and in ways that are not now thought or
While it is true that. the Spaniards
make good soldiers It is probable that the
Spanish forces in Cuba are not inspired
by any great degree OF patriotism by the
service they are required to perform there
Most of them are fresh from Spain and
the climate is against them. Already
many of them are I'll and If the yellow
fever becomes epidemic among them they
will be in no condition to meet an ag-
gressive and determined enemy
The revolutionists have been preparing
for this struggle for a good while. For
the wrongs they have endured they
cherish toward Spain a feeling of bitter
hatred. The opportunity they have been
waiting for so long to rid themselves of
Spanish misrule appears to have come
and they mean TO improve it TO the utmost
OF their ability. However harsh. therefore.
that Spain may make the war a speedy
termination of the conflict is not probable.

Those who wnnt Free silver.

There are two classes Of people who
want free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer. namely those who are interested in
silver mining and those who are in debt.
The silver mine owners and their en-
ployes believe the free coinage of silver
would be beneficial to them, and the debt
ors would like to have the privilege Of
paying their debts in a currency having
only about half the value of our present
currency. 1t becomes an interesting ques-
ton. therefore. to find out about what
proportion Of the population favors the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver.
The silver mine owners and their en-
ployes make a very small fraction of the
population, but the debtor class is large.
But it is not so large as it would seem
to be from some of the statements which
have appeared in print. Matthew Mar
shall. very careful writer whose arti-
cles in the New York Sun attract a great
deal of attention, makes the following
statement: "Of the 4767.179 farm and
plantation families returned in our last
census AZ per cent owned their land free
from encumbrance and "a per cent. hired
it. leaving only 10 per cent. of owners
with encumbrances on their property. 1t
is this 10 per cent. or less than 100000
families altogether, from whom, and
from few distressed spectators, the
clamor for high prices proceeds. while
the many millions of earners of wages and
of salaries and possessors of money OBJ
legations are, as yet silent. They are un,
aware that danger impends over them,
and thus they leave the field to the advo-
Gates of silver, who make up in noise and
reiteration what they lack in numbers"
Assuming that the foregoing statement
is correct. 1t is apparent what the result
would be if the issue between the free sill
verites and those who favor sound money
should be squarely made. No doubt a
great many outside Of the two classes
mentioned are inclined to favor the free
coinage of silver because, from the asser>
tions of the free silverites, they have
been led to believe that it would hasten
the coming of better times, but when
they fully understand the issue their views
will undergo change.
When the issue is made there will be
found arrayed against the free coinage
of silver creditors, wage earners, depos-
itors in savings banks, holders of all
kinds of securities, pensioners and those
receiving fees and salaries. All of these
have been saying very little about The
free coinage of silver, but they will make
their influence felt should the necessity
for doing so arise. The plain purpose of
the free silverites is to lessen the unit of
value. and thus reduce the obligations of
! debtors and deprive creditors of part Of
their rights. The issue. therefore, which
the free silyerites are trying to force
upon the country, as MIR. Marshall says.
is largely a moral one. There is not
much doubt that the result of it would be
a defeat for the free silverites.

The free silverites now find themselves
under the necessity of explaining how it
happened that in Denver and several
places in Nebraska the populists were
beaten in the town elections. 1t cannot
be claimed that silver was not an issue,
and that the populist party did not repre-
sent the silver element, for the silverites
take that issue into everything. and the
populist party was silverite enough to cap
ture such republicans as Senators Stew
art and Jones. If the silverites cannot
carry elections in Colorado and Nebraska
they had better hang up and quit.

They seem in Cuba to have some
what erroneous conception of what they
term "the Sherman idea of warfare"
Our Havana dispatch of yesterday said
that the new captain general Of the island
would introduce the Sherman idea against
the insurgents, making "a march direct
to the strongholds of the enemy, burn
ing and destroying the property of all
supposed to be disloyal to Spain" The
Sherman plan was 10 march, not upon
the strongholds of the enemy, but upon
Their defenseless homes. in which only
old men, women and children remained,
and burn and pillage. 1t may be- how
ever. that that is precisely the kind OF
warfare the Spaniards mean to make
upon the Cubans. Should such infamous
tactics be employed. the Cuban cause
might receive practical sympathy from
the people of this country.

The Advance in COTTON.
From the Baltimore Sun CDem.

ton is variously explained. One cause, it
is said. is the expectation of a decreased
acreage this year. The better demand at
Liverpool is ascribed TO this cause. An
other reason for the advance is said to be
the oversold condition of the market. Cot
ton was being sold by spectators at prices
below the average cost of production, and
a reaction was bound to come. What is
strange about it Is the fact that cotton
lin sight March 10 this year was 1867 900
bales more than at the same date last
year. A simpler explanation than all
these, however. is that business is improv-
ing and there is more legitimate demand
for cotton in all its forms.

Chickens Rights ON the Railroads.


When the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
was constructed along the Ohio river.
many farms were necessarily divided,

from away back" The road passed be-
tween the house and poultry yard of
farmer named Left. The old fellow did
not like ii very much, and he took advan-
tage of every occasion to speak i'll of the
stuff"
When the road was finally completed
and the first train went rafting along, the
fowls In Mr. LET'S poultry yard became
frenzied with fright AS many of the
geese, ducks, chickens, etc. as were able
New over the fence and wandered away
in the woods. Those that could not fly
endeaVored to force their way through
cracks in the fence. Some succeeded in
escaping in this way, others only managed
to break their necks
Mr.. Left had witnessed the havoc among
his poultry, and to say he was mad" is
only to put 1t mildly. He went to the
barn and painted huge board with fiery
red brick paint. When this way dry he
took shoe backing and painted a notice
after his own heart. A stake was driven
in the ground near the railroad track.
and the board nailed to it.

as he leaned against the fence and await
ed the results of his labor.
A rattle, rattle, rattle soon gave evil
dence OF an approaching train. cloud
of black smoke was next seen and then
the engine appeared coming about two
miles up the track.
The engineer caught a glimpse of the
red sign, and fearing all manner of dam
ger, reversed his engine and signaled to
put on brakes. Slowly the momentum of
the train was checked and 1t came to a.
rest a few yards from the farmer.
Great heavens" yelled the engineer
What's the matter? Where's the dan
ger2"
Il reckon you kin read" coolly replied
the farmer, as he jerked his thumb over
his shoulder toward the sign.

the engineer as he turned to the sign and
read: Run slow by Let's lot; you'll kill
all my chickens"
