LticaI Corruptioniaud Debauchery'-The
Growing Generation is the Hope Of
America.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
In q communication Of mine, touch
ing pretty strongly on the great and
ruinous sin of q corrupt ballot box,
published in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
on the % h day of January, 1895. /
gave 8 truthful history Of the intro
duGtion OF corrupt politics in Cumbor-
land county, State Of North Carolina.
All who may have read said communi-
cation will remember that IN my clos
ing 1 used this language, viz "a
chicken thief is an engel compared to
a po~ljtic5l thief" This | will show IN
a future communication. Why my
delay l need not tell. am now about
sixteen months further removed from
tho most corrupt election that ever
disgraced the good people Of Cumber
land county, viz: the election
so caIled-held on the first Tuesday of
November, 1894 Yes, my young
friend, it was a more d~isgra3eful cleo
ton than the carpet baeg"rs aud scala
waga meeted out to us during recon
struction. Carpet baggers were men
from the Union geographically Re

killed.
Now to tho point: Chicken Thief vs.
Political Thief. Chicken stealing has
been going on as far back as 1 can re
member-worse since 1865 at the close
of the war, than before. An honest
man may steal a chicken, but an hon
est man never yet stole a vole-never
yet distracted votes from the ballot
box, and then to prevent detection,
chew them up and hide them away in
his stomach. An honest man never
yet stuffed the ballot box. An honest
man never yet perjured himself by
counting one man in and another out.
An honest man never yet counted him
self with a ring Of political thieves, to
plan for a dishonest election. An hon,
est man will not give countenance to
a political thief, neither as a member
of Gods church or the devils church.
An honest man (uniess a fooD will not
talk nor preach that the end justifes

NEYLER IS NOW IN HAVANA
The Captain General Again Returns to
the Cuban Capital.
THE DEATH OF GENERAL MACEO
The Weight of Evidence Seems to Verify
the Published Reports, Though Cubans
Profess to Believe That the Reports
Are Purposely Misleading.

HAVANA, Dec 12.-Cnptain General
Weyler arrived once more in this city at .
o'clock last evening, accompanied by
Lieutenant Colonel Escribano and Others
Of his staff, and by cavalry escort The
streets of Havana were thronged with
people, and the houses Of the town had
been gaily decorated with bunting in
anticipation of the captain generals re-
turn The Plaza Armes in front of the
captain generals palace was packed with
a vast concourse of people
The Marques Ahumuda, vice governor
general, accompanied by the colonel of his
stuff, met Captain General Weyler at the
entrance of the palace Immediately after
entering the palace Captain General Wey-
Ter appeared on the balcony, bowling his
Acknowledgements to the vivas which the
multitude in the square were shouting for
Spain, Spanish Cuba, the king, the queen,
the army, the navy and the volunteers.
The captain general made brief address,
in the course of which he said II have
only directed. The army has done all.
Various delegations, both civil and mil
itary, were received later by General Wey-
Ter at the palace, and they offered their
congratulations upon the outcome of his
operations in Pinar del Rio. Marques
Ahumada also offered his congratulations
upon the death of Maceo. Captain Gen
eral Weyler responded that the credit for
the combination which had resulted in
the fall of the Cuban chief was all due to
the Marques Ahumada, but the elatter said
he had only seconded the chiefs plans.

PROPOSED COAL COMBINE.
An English Syndicate Negotiating for Coal
Lands.

LHnObs
WILKEsBARRE, Dec. 12.-Important and in.
teresting developments may be expected
soon, which promise to advance the anthra-
cite coal industry to much greater promin-
ence in the way Of mining and marketing
The accredited representative of wealthy
aud influential syndicate of English finan-
ciers md business men has been visiting the
Pennsylvania coal country for several months
past, and has quietly investigated anthracite
lands in Schuylkill, Luzeme Columbia
Northumberland and Lackawanna counties,
with the object of purchasing valuable and
available territory.
The Times Of this city says I'm several
cases, particularly in Schuylkill county,
options have been placed, and the outlook
appears favorable for the disposal of the
properties to the English agent While at
Tamaqua, Ashland, Shenandoah and Mt
Carmel, parties associated with the Morgan
Drexel combination (which organized the
new Philadelphia & Reading Railway Com
pany) had conference with the foreign
representative, and while nothing is known
positively or definitely, sufficient informa-
tion has been disclosed to warrant the as
sertion that English capital may be invested
in operations now owned, controlled and
worked by the Philadelphia s. Reading Coal
& Iron Company, whose interests are allied
with the corporation operated by the Morgan
Drexel syndicate"
