TO SUCCEED CAMPOS.
Another Captain General of the Spanish
Forces in Cuba.

Another Captain-General of the Spanish
Forces in Cuba.
Madrid, Jan. 2O.-The cabinet has
unanimously decided to supersede Cap
tain General Martinez de Campos and
his lieutenant, General Ardereus, ow-
ing to differences which exist between
them and the political parties in Cuba.
General Marin and General Pando,
who are in command of the Spanish
troops in the province of Santiago de
Cuba, will replace General Campos
and General Ardereus, temporarily.
The names of General Polaviaja and
General Weyler are both mentioned for
the post of commander-in-ch chief of
Cuba. When the Spanish government
was organizing it's forces to oppose the
Cuban insurrection last year, General
Polaviaja was slated by public rumor
for the position Of captain-general Of
the Spanish forces in Cuba, to succeed
General Callea, it being doubtful at
that time whether Campos would be
willing to undertake the task. But
his success as a pacifcator in the
former insurrection led to the selection
of Campos and reliance upon more
conciliatory policy which he avowed
himself to pursue toward the Cubans
with the hope Of winning them to
peace.

New Use For Love Letters.

An ingenious bride, SO the story goes,
has evolved a happy scheme for keeping
her husband true to the protestations Of
his wooing. The engagement was long
one, the love letters exchanged, legion.
With these letters she has papered her
boudoir. No man could in the face Of
such evidence of eternal devotion object
to the price of new bonnet Or be stingy
in the matter of pin money. How could
he scold about the butchers bill, or be
sulky even if she did give his pet loung-
ing coat to the old clothes man or put
her pug to sleep in his Sunday hat or
cry because he staid at the club and
forgot to come in until midnight as in
his bachelor rdavs?-Philadelph Call.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Senator Davis Resolution a
Strong Enunciation.
ITS TERMS ARE TO BE EXPLICIT
Said to Be q More ForcibIe Declaration
Than Any Which Has Yet Been
Introduced in Congress.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-The resolu-
tion drawn by Davis and adopted by
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions today will prove to be clear
and strong enunciation of the Monroe
doctrine, when its text is made public.
1t is more forcible declaration than
any which has been introduced in con-
gress on this subject, and it's terms
are so explicit that they cannot be mis-
understood. The advancement of the
Monroe doctrine, as set forth in the re-
port, is said to be vital to the welfare
of the country and the countries of the
American continents. The doctrine, it
is asserted, is now in force, and has
been in force ever since it was estab-
lished by President Monroe. The
resolution declares it to mean that
acquisition of territory by purchase,
concession or otherwise, on the Ameri-
can continents by foreign power is
an unfriendly act, and such acquisi-
tion will not be permitted by the
United States.
The most important feature is that
which touches upon new phase of the
Venezuela questionable report that
England and Venezuela may reach an
agreement, and that English money will
settle the boundary dispute. The
resolution asserts that when disputes
on the American continent between
foreign governments and American
governments are decided by arbitra-
tion, agreement purchase, or in any
manner whatever, the United States
shall be tie sole judge as to whether
the Monroe doctrine has been violated
in such arbitration or agreement. In
fact, it means that a resolution or
agreement between foreign govern
ments and governments of the Ameri-
can continents as to boundary disputes
cannot become binding or effective un-
less sanctioned by the United States,
and that this government must be satis-
fed that no part of the American con-
tinent has been ceded to foreign pow
er by such arbitration or agreement.
This portion of the resolution caused
much apprehension among some mem
bers of the committee, as it is claimed
it may lead to many entanglements.
On the other hand the supporters of
the resolution say it leaves everything
in the hands of the United States,
where the final decision should be, and
that the United States will interfere
only when the Monroe doctrine is
violated.
The resolution is drawn with view
of covering every contingency which
may arise in boundary disputes, or the
acquisition, or the sale of territory by
one foreign government to another on
tn Amrican continents or islands which
are considered part of the Western
hemisphere.

Bradstreet,s Report,

New York, Jan. 20.-Bradstreet' S
weekly report says: While general
trade has not shown widespread ten
dency to revive from the holiday de-
preston, there are favorable features
in a revival in iron and steel prices
and continued heavy cereal exports.
Reports from jobbers in staple lines are
slow. Travellers are on the road, but
returns are irregular in only few in
stances, indicating the usual volume
of orders for spring delivery. Rela-
lively the greatest improvement is shown
in the request for dry goods, clothing.
hats and shoes. Prints and ginghams
are only fairly active with the mills
at work inspite of the reduced de-
mand. !"

wey1er Has Accepted.

Madrid Jan. 2O.-General Valeriano
Weyler has accepted the appointment
to governorship of Cuba. He will sail
for the. island Friday next. General
Suarez Valdez has been appointed Sec
ond in command.
A dispatch from Havana reports an
interview with General Marin, gov
ernor pro tenn of Cuba, in which he
said that the situation there was not
dangerous, since the insurgents were
always defeated in every engagement
in which they took part. He intended,
he said, to organize a fresh plan of
campaign in Cuba.

Our A AgricuItural Suggestions.


Good land will not produce a good
crop without good cultivation.
Paper cans are now being introduced
in place of tin cans, for preserving
fruit.
If there is stagnant pool of water
near the house or on the farm where
the stock can get at it, drain it some
how.
We are asked if ground cob is valu-
able? Corn ground on the cob. with
say half its bulk of oats, mixed with
cut hay makes good ration for cows
or horses. !.
Take extra care of improved stock,
is advice often given. Take extra care
of any kind of stock. In fact the
poorer the stock the better the care it
needs to insure any return whatever.
Some people gather the potato vines
with revolving rake before digging.
It looks like good plan for it removes
the vines out of the way and they are
punched ready to cart to the barnyard.
Constructing little ventilators with
holes in them, in the potato bins, has
been tried with great satisfaction, it is
claimed. The moisture from the pota-
toes passes off through these venti'
lators.

The London Chronicle believes both
England and Venezuela will institute
inquiries into the settlement and
cessions of land in the disputed terri
tory. 1t says this will present basis
for the renewal of negotiations. 1t is
now most probable that arbitration
will be resorted to.
After a two-days' meeting held in
st. Louis, by the Populist national
committee, it was decided to leave the
matter of selecting the time and place
for the national convention to the ex.
ecutive committee. At subsequent
meeting of the committee st. Louis
was chosen, and the date set at July %.
The president of the Manufacturers
Trust Company of Brooklyn, has offer
ed to place gold in the treasury, and
take receipt therefor. Being a
bidder for the new issue of bonds, he
suggests that if his bid is accepted the
amount be deducted, and the balance
returned. 1t is said that in this way
the treasury would be afforded imme.
diate relief.

Booth, of the Salvation Army, from

Whether 1t Was Fair.
BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 6.-Further returns
from Monday election show that Johns
son and the Democratic ticket have car
ried forty-onc counties, while Goodwin,
Populist, has twenty-five. Johnston's
minority is reported ut 1908 Johnston S
majority in the white counties is nearly
lo"o, not including the black belt, which
Is calculated to dispose of the charge that
GOODWIN WIS elected, but counted out.
Conservative Populist leaders assert that
If it is shown officially that the white
counties elected Johnston they will sup
port Bryan and Scwall in November,
otherwise they will go for Bryan and Wat
son, believing in the latter event that
Johnston got it by fraud.
Frank Baltzcll, secretary of the cam
paign committee of the Populists, gives
out the allegation that the election last
Monday was characterized by frauds
more widespread than any previous cleo
tons and in the black belt in defiance Of
law and contempt for the opposition,
which the law required to be recognized
by from three to ten representatives at
every poll" After giving alleged instances
of fraud he declares that Goodwin has
been elected by from 5000 to Is, 600 ma
Jority in the white counties and received
about 10000 votes in the black belt but
these 1900 votes are counted for John
ston. giving him a majority of about

ABILENE, kans., Aug. 6.-At the Popu.
list state convention interest conferred in
the report of the committee on order of
business, which recommended that a com.
mittce of fourteen. two from each con-
gressional district, be appointed to con-
fer with the committee of five sent to
Abilene by the Democratic convention at
Hutchinson. The report was adopted
after Il motion to reduce the number of
the conference committee from fourteen
to five had been voted down. This COM
mittee was appointed, but after a long
conference with the democrats came to no
agreement, the Populists opposing one
Democrat on the electoral ticket whom
the Democrats would not change for an
other not objectionable
