Mantle trains in Puerto Principe, the rail

Miguel Torres, an engineer, to take out
mixed train, running at moderate rate
CT speed, and in case of a mishap to avoid
a catastrophe as far as possible. About 55
kilometers out the fireman said to the en-
gineer, ibid you see a horseman pass the

lessened the speed of the train.
About 200 meters beyond, two dynamite
shells exploded destroying the first and
third class cars. The explosion occurred
just beneath the passengers and two of
them were killed. a corporal was hurled
by the explosion to a great distance, and
eight soldiers who were on guard at the
doors were killed and another wounded.
Six passengers were also wounded, among
them an old married couple from Puerto
Principe.
The guerrilla lieutenant, Salvador Fer

Republican management.

Should the republican party be entrust-
ed with the control OF the government?
Look at the finance committee Of the
Senate, That committee is the product
OF republican management. The republi-
can senators made 81 what It is. And
what has IL done? bond bill that had
been passed by the republican House was
referred TO it, and a free silver coinage
bill was reported to the Senate in place
OF It. The republican House also passed
a tariff bill. which II called a bill to
raise revenue. That bill was also re-
ferred 10 the finance committee. and II is
in the committee yet. with very little
prospect of its being reported to the Sen
ate. The Senate cannot do anything with
the bill until it gets control Of it, And
this is republican management.
With the record the republicans have
thus far made during this congress. what
good reason can they offer the people
why they should be given charge Of the
government? They have done absolutely
nothing, although congress remained in
session during the holidays in order to
respond to the earnest demand Of the
country for legislation of some sort to
relieve the treasury of its difficulties.
1t may be said that the republicans
haven't control of the Senate. and hence
cannot he held responsible for legislation.
That statement won't stand investigation.
The republicans reorganized the commit
tees. and the party that has the commit
tees is responsible for what the Senate
does or does not do. They made up the
finance committee. and what has that COM
mittee done? Has it done anything of any
benefit to the country? What IL has done
is in the interest of the populst party.
We submit that with such a record the
republican party has no good reason to
offer why the people should give it the
control of the government

1t Is a surprising thing that Florida
should be able to reduce her tax rate al
most Immediately after the loss Of so
many millions of dollars worth Of taxable
property. When her orange groves were
vigorous and bearing a crop amounting
to 100000 boxes annually. the tax rate
was ga mills on the dollar. Now, when
her groves are not bearing at all, and
will not bear full crop inside of FIVE
years, and therefore have little taxable
value, she reduces her tax rate to 2ls mills.
This shows that her orange groves, which
made her famous throughout the length
and breadth Of the land, were but a small
part of her taxable wealth.
The people of Florida were stunned
for awhile by the destruction of the orange
groves of the state, but they didn't re-
main in that condition long. They recov-
cred their energies quickly and went to
work earnestly to discover new sources
of wealth. They are finding them. and it
is safe TO predict that ten years hence
Florida will be far richer than she would
have been If Jack Frost had not blown
his icy breath upon her orange and lemon
groves. She viii have her groves. and be-
sides will he a great producer of many
things that would have been almost who'll
ly neglected if necessity had not directed
attention to them.

A Good Reply.

A number of prominent literary men
were at one time gathered together in a
wen-known shop house in New York, says
Harper's Round Table. The conversation
was, of course, brilliant, and the repair
tee sparkled with mirth and wit. Dur
ing a lull in the talk the door was slowly
opened, and an old southern darby, griz-
zled with age poked his head in, and
then slowly drew his body after him. A
waiter Immediately started to eject him,
when one of the gentlemen cried out:
wait a moment! Let's see what he
wants. The old darby hobbled up to the
table where this gentleman sat, and held
out his hat Throwing a wink to his
neighbors, the gentleman took the hat,
and making show of placing something
into it, bravely passed it on to the next
gentleman, who did likewise. The hat
made a tour of the entire room, to the
puzzled wonder of the darby. The last
man to receive it solemnly handed it
back. with a very polite bow, saying:
there, sir, don't you think you have
something to be thankful for?" The old
darky looked slowly round the company,
and mechanically taking his hat, said:
Gen men. rs indeed thankful dat is chen
got de hat back" The reply was so thor
oughly enjoyed by the company that the
old darky left the place a much richer
man than he had entered it.
