be to-day Obliged to US for giving her a
cause for war in relation to- Cuba. Spain
knows just as well as the rest of the world
that the letters with which she has bound
Cuba since the island was discovered by
Columbus have corroded until they are
rusting off the limbs of the people. These
shackles have become disreputable, even in
the contemplation of Spain herself. But
her pride causes her to hold Cuba by
the throat and throttle her. She cannot
consent to lift her bloody hands from the
neck of her victim or to accord to her the
rights of war, crystaIlized and sanctified
in the name of constitutional liberty. She
cannot afford to do it.. She IS not going to
do it. And yet she cannot hold Cuba. If
this resolution does not free the island
from the grip of Spain, the next one will,
or the next one after that. And Cuba will
come forward amid the peans of the ma
tions, free, sovereign and independent.
Spain knows and feels it. But she would
rather lose Cuba at the point OF the sword
in conflict with the United States, than
have us pay for it or have the Cubans
achieve their independence. She would
thank US to take it at the point of the
sword. And that is why say that be-
lieve that any step in that direction would
only anticipate the result.
Further on in his remarks Morgan ex-
claimed passionately that in the event
which he was then discussing sit is our
duty to draw the sword, lay it on the table
and say to Spain, II. you want to take it
up, take it up.'''
A colloQuy ensued between Platt and
Morgan on the formers suggestion of a
doubt whether the action of the two
houses alone could change to any extent

Tough Texas.

The following letter was publish
ed in the Review, Cumberland City,
Tenn, recently, and some parts of it
we think worthy to reproduce for the
benefit of our readers. Texas
seems to be a good state to keep out
of.
| will endeavor to give you little
history of this county. In the first
place, if you get plenty to eat you
get no bed, and if you have coal, you
have have no kindling. You can't
make track while while you are out
here; for in wet weather you carry
your tracks with you and in dry
weather you can't make one. Soyou
see that this country promises more
and gives less than any other country
Ia the world.
Although the land is very rich and
produces we'll, the wind blows all the
tlme-night and day, summer ana
winter. 1t your hat blows off you
can't catch it under a mile. Ticks
are so thick If one can't get on you
he will climb bush and throw
handful Of little ones on you as you
pass by, and chiggers-world without
end!
Times are hard and money is
scarce. If you kill a man you come
clear, but if you steal hog you go to
the pen for life; and if you steal arail
road you are called Colonel.
There are ten thousa nd people
here who are out of a Job. The rail
roads advertise and say, go West,
young man." They don't tell you,
however, that you are going to starye
when you get there; they leave this
fol- you to find out.
The rest of the time / am medlta-
ting studying about home and my
loved ones and of the pleasures of my
childhood But, alas, that time is
past and gone forever. Nothing a.
head Of me but hardsbips, bed bugs
and tieas. All my friends are dead
and walking the celestial streets Of
the New Jerusalem.
The water here is not fit for an OK
to drink. The people are nearly all
Populsts and they all want t. marry
if they havn't got nickle. If YOU
own a black land farm you are in the
"push," if you don't you are in Tia
mud. Write soon to your friend.

There is a good deal OF criticism
beng made in the county relative to
the recent purchases of blocks for use
in the schools. The waste of the
public funds is wrong and the adj
vent Of some oily tongued canvasser
for school supplies always means tax
ing from the children what belongs
to them. There is a good deal OF
unpleasant talk in relation to school
going on just now.

Notices were sent out this morning to

League of American Wheelmen, giving no.
tice that the next meeting Of the organi-
cation would be held In the Ad Writer'S
Club rooms, 10th and Pennsylvania. Avenue

earnestly requested. At this meeting, after
the nominations are made, a date will be
set upon which the election of officers will
be held. This will probably be held the
week following, as under the constitution of
the organization the selection shall have
been made by November 15 .,.
The announcement of this meeting has
been awaited for with considerable inter-
est by many members Of the organization.
1t was at one time believed that there
would be quite rivalry for the offices, but
this appears to have been mistake, as there
are indications that there will be hardly any
competition for the offices. There seems to
be little doubt that the present officers will
be reelected with no or hardly any. oo-

Very few people, perhaps, ever
stopped to think why the word aCom-
mencement" is used at the closing ex-
ercises OF the school year, and if they
did there would be but very few in
deed who could give satisfactory
explanation of the matter. The fol-
lowing from the Brooklyn. Eagle ex-
plains why the word is used:
commencement is applied to grad
uating exercises and not to the ending
ing OF the college season. Graduation
is indicative of being ready to enter
upon career out of college or school.
The ending up of school life may be
the beginning or commencement Of
college life. The term commence
ment however, had its origin ut the
university of Cambridge, England.
In general the term has no necessary
reference to the time of year or to the
beginning or ending of the school
term, but it describes the day upon
which bachelors and masters of arts.

and commence to be bachelors, etc.

A Big Gold, D,.seo 5, cry.

From Mr.. George Riddle, who is in
from the Bull Run country, we learn
of the discovery of a big gold belt in
the northern part Of, the county by
John Murphy and Frank Curieaux
about two weeks. ago, The belt is
about four miles in length and runs
from Bull Run creek to Blue Jacket
canyon. Assays from different parts
Of the ledge where it has been un-
covered run from: ,S25 to, $500 "a ton
III gold, sixty per cent of which is
free, milling. No test has been made
for silver. The ledge lays fiat where
the boys struck it and one cut of
about twelve feet has, been run>into
it,, They have sunk about six. feet
on the. ledge and are not yet, through
it. Mr.. Riddle informed us that he
took rock out Of the ledge and panned
it ont, and that it would go at least
$500 TO the ton. The gold. he says, is
very coarse for ledge gold. The ledge
is well defined and has slate foot
wall with quartzite hanging walls as
near as could be determined from the
exposed part of the ledge. No work
OF any. consequence has been done on
the ledge and all. assays have been
made from the croPpings., The ledge
is.about three-fourths of mile from
Bull Run creek in which there is
plenty of water the. Year round to fur
nish power to run the mills for Teduc-
ing the ore. A limited amount of
timber for mining purposes can be
got on the other side Of the hill.
This discovery has caused consider
able excitement in that section and
both sides of the mountain are beng
prospected. . Several other lodges
along the belt have been found that
give. fair prospects. Mr.. Riddle
thinks this will prove to be one of the
largest gold belts ever discovered in
the northern part of the State. 81 .,:
Frank Curieaux, John Murphy,
Mat Graham and Thomas Lovelock
are interested in the original discov-
cry. .,u
The INDEPENDENT first learned Of
this discovery Sunday evening from
MIR. Griftiths who came down to serve
on the grand jury. His information
was 80 meagre, as was that of Mr..
Plunkett and Mr.. Beard, that we re-
Trained from making mention of the
rumored find. This morning Mr..
Riddle came to the Office and gave us
the facts as stated above. If his judy
ment be correct, the Bull Run coun-
try will be the iveliest place in the
State before many months have
passed.
