:" From our proximity to Cuba, our

We need not annex Cuba. Stop the

point seems our national right, duty

There is force in what Mr.. Moore says
1t may ultimately become tho duty of
the United States to interfere in Cuba
in the interest Of humanity. President
Cleveland intimated that very clearly
in his message, though he opposed inter-
ference at present. But having inter
fered and stopped the war in the Inter
est Of humanity it seems to us we sh all
be bound to see that the interest of
humanity are not antagonized there in
the future. We can hardly logically
"let them act their own pleasue in time
to come" ii that pleasure leads them
into another civil wa as is very likely
to be the case. The truth is that If we
interfere to establish peace in Cuba in
the interest of humanity, we have got
to be prepared to make the people keep
it. If need be. In short we have got to
establish virtual protection over the
island.

The anti. Platt meeting in New York
other night was attended by ouly
500 people. Inclemency OF the weather
doubtless had some effect to make the
audience small, but if the Choate move
ment were exciting much popular inter

out thar that even had it rained pitch
forks. Probably the hopelessness of the
fight against Plats is one cause, and
a potent one, Of the little interest that is

There seems to be no doubt that in
spite of some opposition at Caracas,
Minister Andrande Of Venezuela will
sign the treaty between the United
States and Great Britain and submit the
boundary question to the arbitrat On
therein provided for. 1t is doubtless
the best course for Venezuela to pursue.
Should she reject it, the United States
would undoubtedly draw out of the
matter, and then Venezuela would have
to treat alone with Great Britain. In
which case she would fare far worse
than she does or can under this treaty.

MR.. BRYAN AS A LECTURER.
(Boston Uerald.)
Mr.. Bryan's lecture season appears to
have opened auspiciously. He had q
house full to OVERLOOKING at fifty cents q
head, and there seems to be no reason
why the Boy Orator of the Platte should
not make very pretty pot of money on
the lecture platform during the present
winter. Mr.. Bryan is shrewd man,
and probably it is not necessary to re-
mind him that now is th3 time for him
to take advantage of the notoriety he has
achieved, and to put money in his purse.
The longer he waits the less money he is
likely to take in.

The REDWOOD GAZETTE please give the Press
credit for articles taken from it? Come,
Julius!-Olivia Press.
The GAZETTE always believes in
giving proper credit to whatever it
takes from it's exchanges. It is not
unmindful of the fact that mortuary
item in it's issue of two weeks ago was
taken from our esteemed contempor-
ary, the Press. It was deliberately
clipped and published without even
intending to offer a credit, although
realizing that the credit should have
been given. The reason for this was
that about month ago our contem-
porary stole column article regard,
ing the death of Renville county
citizen from The GAZETTE, without
giving credit, and without changing
several phrases, that made the article
seem very funny when dished up as
original matter from Olivia by ou1
contemporary. We then resolved tc
remind our brother of the theft some
time in the future by committing
similar thefts until he registered {
protest like the above.

Toms Bixby is the logical candidate
for Governor, now that Dave Clough
is out of the question. Toms has
whiskers a la Spanish, has twinkle
of the eye and twitch of the mouth
that is catching. Besides all this he
has remarkable power Of perception.
This was clearly illustrated during
the campaign of 1890, when Toms was
secretary of the Republican State
committee and engaged a lady detec-
tive, previously employed by the
Democratic State committee as de-
tective, as his typewriter. Toms had
the detective in his room all the time
and whenever any important action
was taken, such as the sending out of
~ or 50 packages of money, or some
thing similar, the Democratic State
committee we're made aware of it as
soon as office hours were over. Oh,
Toms is the man. Yes, nominate

vate secretary.

HANS DESERTS.

Arab-like Hans Gronnerud is the
first Oliviaite to desert Olivia in it's
hour of need. On the register of Ho-
tel Francois last Thursday the broad
signature of Hans told us that hence
forth he was from Beaver Falls. Hans
is as dumb as an oyster when it comes
to confding, as keen as a razor when
it comes to sizing up boom and as
brisk as mercury when it comes to
catching a dollar.
Where the county seat goes there
Hans goes. For years pridr to it's re-
moval from Beaver Hans held forth
in little one-story building on Fig
Alley, the principal street of the re-
mote town, called in the farmer and
administered to his wants for a good
round fee. Hans was stacking up dol
lar on top of dollar. When the coun-
ty seat was removed to Olivia thither
he wandered, also. The citizens of
Olivia met him on the outskirts of the
town with brass band and flags wav-
ing. The band played "Hail to the
Chief" and Olivia felt sure that the
capture of Hans was the principal act
in the county seat drama. Hans said
nothing, however. Not even did he
volunteer speech in return for this
warm reception. He found another
one story frame building and there
continued building up the colossal
monument of American silver dollars.
The court house leaned his way like
the leaning tower of Pisa, pouring
forth the shekels for his monument
Hans said nothing. When the Su-
preme Court decree was handed
down, Hans said nothing. But in the
soft, Silly hours of night. he stole out
of Olivia. The citizens there missed
him. A search was instituted for him
but no trace could be found. When
the county officers, with county rec
ords in their hands, found where
Beaver Falls once stood, they discov-
cred an aboriginal band loaded with
tin-cans, cat-gut instruments, tom
toms, cow-bells and tin horns. At the
head of this band was weighty lead
or welding a cord wood stick baton,
but saying nothing. The band struck
up and attempted to play "Hail to the
Chief" The officials Mortified with
the music, seized the leader, jerked off
his disguise, and discovered the lost
Hans. He said nothing. But when
the boys iwere properly located he
placed few more American coins on
