man freedom has always evolved. Her
patriots are chiefly unfortunate in the
fact that circun stances have denied to
them the opportunity to exhibit, on their
native soil all the forms of organized gov
eminent. They have shown their skill
and valor in war as conspicuously asany
people that ever rose against tyrant.
Of their ability in civic affairs there is
not reasonable doubt. The primal
elements of a republic exist in the
people. Circumstances unique in their
adversely prevent the Capitalization OF
these elements in that form that is
made the chief excuse for Withholding
the recognition that so cheered the
hearts of the patriots of the American
Revolution. There is nothing myth.
ical in the revolution Gomez has d.
rected and which, under Maceo and his
compatriots, has swept over the island.
Recognition of Cuban independence
may be premature, but is there no
action possible by this great republic
that shall put an end to the work of
blood and devastation at its own doors?
Is there no succor for the brave peo-
Pile that have earned their title 10
freedom? Shall this American people,
heirs to splendid heritage of freedom,
be less mindful of the Cuban patriots
than were the Gar of Russia, the King
and people of France, of the American
patriots? If the Republic of Cuba, with
civil organization directing its affairs,
and an army that in two years has oc-
cupied and holds more than two-thirds
of Cuban territory against 100000
Spanish troops, under their best gen.
erals, is a myth, as Secretary Oiney
says, by what art of necromancy shall
the Republic materialize in the near
future when, as he further says, it
shall be incumbent on the United
States to declare that the Republic
exists and prepare for the consequences?
The continued existence of the condi-
| ton of affairs in Cuba, without the
effective Intervention, in some form, of
this Government is an impeachment of
the wisdom or humanity of American
craftsmanship and a disregard of the
precepts of the Golden Rule, which are
binding upon nations no less than upon
individuals and upon no nation so i'm
peratively as upon these United States,
free and independent by the grace of
God, the moral support of Russia and
the timely and powerful aid, unstint-
ingly rendered, of the French army and
navy and French treasure. 1t were a
pity, it were deplorable, if above the
ruins of war, above the hosts of martyrs
to Cuban freedom, Spanish despotism
should be re-established in "the ever
faithful isle."

Advertising AxiOms.

Here are some true sayings Of j. Walter
Thompson of New York, an advertising ex-
pert. We commend them to the attention
OF advertisers in the WATCHMAN, and par
ticularly to the few who do not advertise:
Lack of trade is bitter but results from
good advertising are sweet.
"Art is long, but life is short" Don't
make your advertisement too long or too
short.
1.-THE effect ceases with the cause.''
Therefore, advertise with constancy.
Advertisements should be written in
words that burn, but not necessarily in
glowing language.
The motto OF New Mexico: "It increases
by going" SO does an advertisement. Is
yours going?
"The burden which is well borne becomes
light" and the advertisement we'll printed
brings heavy results.
Better be wise than RICH" says an old
proverb but the majority by far would
rather advertise and became rich.

Death of Mr., Horn.

Hon. Roswell G. Horn is dead. The
event has local interest from the fact
that Mr.. Horn was born in Waitsfeld.
He went West in his childhood, but in
later years, upon the stump, renewed
his acquaintance with his native State,
and was immensely popular here. One
of the most effective campaign speeches
ever made in Montpelier was delivered
by Mr.. Horr in the vestry of the Meth
odist church, in June, 1880. None
who heard that speech will ever forget
it. 1t was the opening gun of the
memorable canvass of 1880. His cita-
ton of facts, his presentation of argu-
ments, his readiness of illustration and
inimitable wit and humor worked the
densely packed assemblage up to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm. His tree
toad story, told to illustrate the chief
characteristic of greenbackism, then
the conspicuous ism in politics, raised
"inextinguishable laughter" among
his hearers, and has done duty since a
thousand times when a synonym for
noise " and emptiness was wanted.
Mr.. Horn was then representative in
Congress from the Saginaw district in
Michigan. He was conspicuous in the
debates in the House, and his speeches
attracted widespread attention. His
humor was his greatest weapon of at
tack, and before it went down men and
measures that provoked his opposition.
On one occasion Sun Set" Cox of
New York, then the congressional man
of cap and bells, winged shaft of ridi-
cule against Mr.. Horr. The man from
Michigan, in his retort, placed the
New York wit in light 30 supremely
ridiculous, that he lost his wonted
serenity of mind-a composure that
even Ben Butler could not disturb
and refused for some time to speak to
his Michigan antagonist.
In every national canvass for twenty
years Mr.. Horn had been political
factor. About five years ago he Joined
the editorial staff of the New York
Tribune. He wrote, for the most part,
on the tariff and other economic SUBJ
jects. His articles were widely read
and were exceedingly instructive. He
was man In close touch and sympathy
with the people, and the people read
and trusted in what he said and wrote.
At the opening of the late canvass he
stipulated with the national republican
committee that he should speak not
oftener than three times week, but es
the contest developed he was speaking
every day and often twice day. His
health had become somewhat broken
and at the close of the campaign the
golden cord had become 80 loosened
that its strands refused to be reunited
Mr.. Horr was typical American, low
ing his country and devoted to her in
terests, and that country ia the better

Finally, the inequality is not as great as
appears at first sight. Usually the large
towns send men as representatives who are
able to exert far greater influence than
the average represen tative from the smaller
towns, although 1t must be said that in
some cases small town Qike Vermont in
the United States Senate) has sent men who
took leading part in Legislation.

There was a very pleasant surprise party
at the residence of II. b. Ayers last Friday
evening. Some forty or fifty OF the many
friends OF Miss Ella M. Ayers, fearful that
she might forget that IL was her birthday,
called upon her TO remind her OF that most
important fact. She at once acknowledged
the charge and surrendered the house to
them. Whereupon they took possession,
and seemed to have everything their own
way. Pretty and substantial tokens of love
and esteem were brought forth and pre-
sented to Miss Ayers. The presentation
was made by Mr.. j. l.. Ayers, and Miss
Ayers responded with a few we'll chosen
remarks The guests then did ample JUS
tice to the excellent supper provided after
which they entered into the enjoyment OF
music, songs and games.

A beautiful silver wave appeared in the
southeast portion of the sky on Tuesday
evening about o'clock, after the polls were
closed, and it was considered a good omen
for the cause. 1t was very large and the
head looked like that of an eagle, with the
other portion extending from it in wavy
manner, and it was very beautiful 1t was
viewed by many, and those who were for.
tunate enough to view it were very hopeful
Of the success Of the silver cause. 1t lasted
about one hour aud half. Since the re.
turns show that Mckinley was elected some
think that it was sent as warning that a
great revolution was soon to take place, and
that at the outcome the American eagle
would soar through the heavens carrying a
silver stream of light to all parts of the
world, Ienlightening the people upon the
just cause and that at last the era Of pros
perity to which we all have looked will be
ours.

For the purpose Of this campaign, and in

Hawaiian airs, very pretty in their
conception and well sung by David

compartment was frightful 1t was

pretty tunes should not be foisted

we shall miss him as we do all good

Even with a super abundance
of depredatory bugs the average
woman of Honolulu takes
great interest in plants. The
taste of many runs to ferns be-
cause they are little or no trouble
to raise. And there is money
in it to persons who wish to
raise them for sale. A plant for
a quarter will be worth two or
three dollars in a year if pro-
perly attended to. That's the
reason we included Fern pans
of Monmouth pottery among
our goods.
They are new here and have
never been seen before. If you
are raising ferns come and look
at our window. We've lots of
things in there suited to the
flower garden or in the house.
In this celebrated Monmouth
Pottery we have Stove Jars
holding from a half gallon to
ten. Then there are Butter
Crooks, Fruit Jars, Bean Pots,
Stew Pans and Water Pots.
The factory at Monmouth,
Illinois, holds the record for the
best glazing on stone of any
place in the United States. 1t
is their goods we handle. We
have from their works small and
large flower pots, with saucers,
and absolutely perfect. We
have other and cheaper flower
pots of English and American
make.
An inspection may be to your
interest.

Unpleasant Truths Are Not Accept
able

HDlS,
LONDON, Aug, Before the Com
mission on Indian Military Expendi-
lures Lord Wolseley, the Command
erin Chief, testified on Wednesday
that he would not like to put the
British Indian troops in front of
European soldiers and that he would
not like to fight France, Germany or
any other army with Indian troops.
His remarks have caused the greatest
cutlery in the press and have reused
the most severe comment
The Globe for instance says:
Lord Wolseley is no longer our
only General because in the war
which many believe inevitable, with
Russia, our Indian army which he
recklessly insults will play an i'm
portant part, and we should not
like to see them called upon to
follow such an intensely unpopular
commander"
Lord Wolseley's testimony was
cabled to India, where it has aroused
great indignation. A dispatch from
Simla says: "The high authorities
fear it will cause great discomfort
among the Indian troops"
