B.P. Chapman, M. w. of Mendon
lodge, A. o. U. W., requests us to an
nounce that the Degree of Honor and
the A. o. u. w. lodge, of Mendon.
will have picnic on the 4th of July to
which all the neighboring lodges of the
ID. OF III. and a. o. u. w. are invited.
The Mendon brethren became tired
of waiting for arrangements to be
made looking to the holding of a
union picnic by the several county
lodges of the d. of III. and A. o. U. w.
and concluded to have one of their
own.
We suggest that the committee ap-
pointed by the several lodges of the ID.

Sfafe Democracy.

]. J. Moore, chairman of the DEM
ocratc central committee Of Chair
ton county, was called to St. Louis to
attend n meeting OF the state Demo-
cratic central committee and all the
chairmen of the several county COM
nittees of the state, who had been in
vited to be present, for consultation
concerning plans for conducting the
campaign this year. There was .
very large attendance. All the sta tie
committeeman were there and every
county in the state was represented
either by the chairman of the commit
tee in person or by proxy. The plan
formulated was organization by school
districts for the county campaign.
Besides the members of these re-
spectiye committees there were prcsen,
4 large number of leading Dcmocatic
politicians Of the state. The enthuasi-
asm for free silver and Bland and the
coming together of these gentlemen,
charged with the condnct oftheir party
machinery was kind of political love
feast that will not soon be forgotten
by them. We hope they gathered 4
sufficient volume of Democratic fire
while consulting together and compar-
ing notes in St. Louis to 1.-THE woods
on fire after returning to their respec-
tive homes, and as 4 result there viii
be larger Democratic majority in
Missouri this year than has heretofore
marked the present decade
But the members of these respective
committees cannot do all the work,
necessary to be done, themselves. Let
every Democrat in every county, and in
the state, lend a helping hand to the
organization. If he does so 4 splendid
victory will be achieved.
In comparing notes on the state
ticket the conclusion was reached that
Stephens, Leseuer, Se;bert, Ramey and
Pitts were in the lead for governor,
secretary of state, state auditor, su-
prcme judge and state treasurer, re-
spectively. In fact, it is said, that it
was easy to be seen the nomination of
these men is the program to be carried
out by the silver men of the state.
In reference to the strength Of Jordan
and Crow for encouragement the
opinion is said to have been divided
rs to which is IN the lead.

A CRUEL POLICY
To bo Inaugurated In cuba-wsylsr


Despot.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1s.-The
announcement OF the appointment Of
valerIaro weyler as civil captain-gen-
eral OF Cuba was received at Cuban
headquarters here as conhrmatory OF
the view they had already expressed
upon the news OF Campos's retirement,
that there has been a radical change in
the policy OF the Spanish cabinet, and
that henceforth there Is to be a reign OF
blood and terror in Cuba. The change
in the cabinet itself Is the retirement OF
the duke OF Tetuan and the succession
OF Senior Elbuayen as minister OF for
eIgn affairs, and is regarded as still
further confirming the idea
General WeyIer is n veteran soldier
and has had his own experience in rev.
olutIons, for he followed the fortunes OF
the Spanish administration In Cuba
for years during the last revolution,
with the rank OF colonel, and earned for
himself dreadful reputation as man
Of blood and iron. Moreover, the Gu
ban leaders here hint at acts Of cruelty
TO women and defenseless prisoners in
| the past in q fashion that augurs Ill for
the rebels who come within his power
this time. and they predict that he will
soon become involved in trouble with
the United States government as the
result OF the III treatment OF American
citizens who may be 30 unfortunate lS
TO fall under suspicion.
General weyler quilted Cuba soon
after the suppression Of the last rebel
Hon, and has since dwelt In Spain. hold
ing the important command OF captain
general OF the province OF Catalonia.
Senior Palma, the representative In
the United States Of the Cuban revolu-
uonary party, speaking Of the super
seding OF Campos, said:
This action on the part Of the Span
ish government Is not wholly uneX-
pected. General Campos Is one OF
Spaln's most famous commanders, and ut
the beginning OF the revolution he
boosted that In n few weeks, and at
most but few months. he would surely
crush out the rebellion; but now. after
eleven months, he has been obliged TO
shut himself UP in Havana, at the very
door OF the capitol. unable to cope with
the adroItness and vim OF the COM
mandet-in-ehief OF the revolutlonlsts.
1.-THE Spanish government thinks that
by the substitution OF another general
they will meet with better success.
General Campos' withdrawal from COM
mand, in my opinion, is because the
officials at Madrid considered his treat
ment OF the CubRns as too humane.
They want a policy OF more cruelty
pursued, and this they hope 20 have the
new commander carry out, thinking
thus to force people struggling for in
dependence into submission. No gen.
eral, and nothing short OF independ-
ence, can quell the spirit Of the Cubans.
Their strength cannot be weakened,
and 100000 men would be put into the
field tomorrow II they could be proper
~ armed II seems to me, and believe
IL will appear TO the American public,
that the mere fact OF Spain being COM
PEELED TO change generals at this period
OF the war should demonstrate the
strength OF the revolutionists and has.

shall recognize us"

GERMAN ANN1vERsARY.
Great Day Throughout the Empire OIL
Saturday.

Saturday.
BERLIN, Jan. i9.-ThrouEhout the
German empire yesterday the twenty
fifth anniversary of the browning Of
King William of Prussia, grandfather
Of the present emperor, at Versailles, as
emperor OF Germany, and the conse-
quent re-estnblishment OF the German
empire, was celebrated in some form or
other. Services were held in all the
churches and synngogues in the city,
and the public buildings and private
houses were decorated with flags, the
effect OF which, however, was greatly
marred by the drizzling rain and fog
which prevailed,
The great event OF the day. however,
was the gathering in the white hall of
the castle, or schloss. The fete, which
was preceded by services in the church,
es, began at 1876 q. M, in the presence
OF the highest dlgnltaries OF the em-
pire, as well as OF the delegates OF the
reichstng, buudesrath and diet. and OF
all the survivors OF those who were
members OF these bodies In 1901.
The Jewel studded insignia OF the en-
pire-crown, sccptre and globe-were
borne by dignitaries standing on both
sides OF the throne.
The presence OF Old Slmson, the vet
eran president OF the rcichstag in 1871.
and OF the leading generals OF the war
still alive. added much interest to the
scene. Delegations from all the regi-
ments, whose chief was Emperor Will
lam /, or whose chief is the present en-
peror, were also in attendance. Each
delegation consisted OF the commander
OF the regiment, one lieutenant the
colors OF the regiment, the color-bearer
and one on-commissloned officer. All
the flags and banners belonging TO reg
Iments outside Berlin were gathered ut
the Potsdam depot Friday and were
conveyed, escorted by a company OF
the second guard regiment, to the
schloss.
The festival at the palace was at

wuEELING, JANUARY 80, 1890.


General Martinez de campos goes out
OF Cuba and back TO Spain under the
cloud OF a recall. The Spanish effort
to quell the Cuban revolt has failed.
and campos was in command OF the
failure. Therefore campos must go.
Whether any other man could have
done better for Spain up TO this time.
IS a question which nobody can decide
Spain has not more distinguished SOL
der than campos. She has not man
50 familiar with Cuba and so expert
eneed in dealing with Cuban troubles.
Two causes have operated against
campos and made success impossible
70 him. The patriots would not come
out In the open and let him use them
up; and while he was trying to deal
with armed revolt under capable lead
ers the politicians have hung on his
tanks and distracted him. Can the
new commander do better2 Can he
compel the patriots to make a CAM
paign more to his liking? Can he give
greater satisfaction to the politicians?
Failing this, can he silence the pOllt-
iclans?
The new government general is de-
scribed as "a man OF blood and Iron,"
who Is 30 wage a war with more blood
and iron In 1t. We mistake the spirit
OF the cubans II they do not give the
new captain general as good as he
sends. They take rather kindly to
blood and iron themselves. II the Span
lard weyler Is to be a terror, We shall
begin To hear even more Of the Cuban
Gomez in that role.
The cubans are enlisted for the war.
They will not weaken merely because
Spain sends out new captain general
for Cuba and that new commander is
described as a holy terror. II the Gu
bans fail It will be for lack Of arms, not
because the Spanish cause is being
pushed with more vigor.

VIVA, Germany Celebrates.

Germans do we'll TO celebrate the
anniversary of United Germany. In the
quarter-century that has passed since
Germany became a reality great pro-
gress has been made. Fostered by peace
the people have been rising to a higher
and better plane. Their political con-
dltlon Is still far from ideal, but the
trend is in the right direction.
The young emperor does great deal
of war.loud talking, but II he does not
know It. there are those about him
who can tell him that in this day Ger
many cannot be ruled without reckon
ing with the common people.
In the past twenty-five years there
has been a steady lifting Of the Ger
man middle class. and this movement
has done something to carry along with
It the lower orders OF society The titled
rich have not the power they once had.
Success in trade has brought wealth
where there are no titles and where
there is no long lineage Of predatory
ancestors to initiate pride, and this has
had Its effect.
1t Is a better Germany than It was
twenty-five years ago. What Is 1t to
be after twenty-five years moro? The
sovereign's power will be stu less. and
the power OF Imperial Germany may be
vastly greater.
