This has caused the old veterans
to offer Grand Army men to the

are. Americans who would like to
test that question. We hope the
matter will never be settled on any

OF one Englishman for all Canada.

1t must be remembered that the
United States has thousands of

forgotten that Gen. Sheridan said

Mr.. T. B. Terry, who writes solely
for the practical Farmer, gives a
beautiful pointer in the following
article, which was published in
that Periodical, and we give it room
for the reason that we think it is q
plan which should he followed
throughout the country, so as to
prevent 80 mnch litigation in set
thing up estates.
They still keep me talking on
this subject, and ministers, law
yers and judges in the audience
seem to be as well pleased with a
farmers ideas on this point as the
farmers themselves are. AS 7
passed out of tho hall last night a
Judge grasped my hand and said:
Terry, we all like that doctrine
of yours. I have done most all
you speak of, but heretofore nv
bank account has stood in nv own
name. Tomorrow morning it will
be changed into joint account,
just a. you have yours" Some of
you will remember how we do.
Wife and I are full partners and
that means something. She signs
her name to checks and I sign
mine, both drawing from same
Joint account. In our bank book
is this endorsement: Either can
draw part or the whole, and in tho
case of the death of either, the
balance belongs to the survivor"
Should 1 die it is my wife's money
to go right on with. She can draw
check the next day. If it stood
in my name, and she had signed
my name to checks and hers under
it, she could not draw a dollar
after my death. We have ar
ranged it 80 everything shall be
hers to 60 right ON with in case OF
my death, as it would be by law
mine in case of her death. Now
my dear friends don't let Judges
and LAWYERS get ahead of you in
looking out for the good wife.

The question now at stake is the
Venezuela boundary line between
British Guiana and the former re-
public. President Clevelands Of
fer to arbitrate the whole matter
was refused by Lord Salisbury and
the Presidents Message to Con-
gress made things look war-like.
The Presidents language was tenn
perake but his firmness was equal
to his avoirdupois. It is hard to
estimate his weight as President;
it is, however many tons. He said
"Thers is no calamity which ma
ton can invite which equals that
which follows supine submission
to wrong and injustice and the
consequent loss of national self-re-
spsct and honor beneath which is
shielded and defended a peoples
safety and greatness" It is we'll
known that both houses of Con-
gross sustained the President.
The members of the Commission
appointed are satisfactory to all
our citizens. The American peo-
pie generally, without party con-
sideration, have sustained the
action.
It cannot be denied that the
common people of England re-
spect the Great Republic, but Eng
lish aristocrats fear the growth of
our country, and when the slave
holders rebellion was in force they
supplied vast amounts of money
which enabled our country's enc
mics to purchase arms and NUM-
tons of war. They let their cruis-
ers upon our peaceful commerce
and nearly swept our carrying
trade from the seas, from which
we have not yet recovered. Eng
land paid in part for that shame
full work but she tried to destroy
us and force slavery on men which
q noble Englishman said, "Was
the vilest which ever saw the sum-"
The United States has history
and it is full of heroic deeds and
greatness. There may not be war
but the outlook ID not entirely plain
and clear. 1t depends on the re-
port of the Commission to some
extent. The United States has
gone to an extreme length in this
matter and is determined to stand
by the republican idea to the last
inch and maintain freedom on this
continent.
There has been some talk OF war
ON both sides. Some British sub
jects have said 10000 English

DECLARED OFF.
The Mass Meeting of Cuban Sympa-
thiZerS at St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Dec 19-The United
States District Attorney has won a
bloodless battle fought with the Cuban
sympathizers here. AS a result of his
pointed Interpretation of the neutrality
laws the monster mass meeting sched
uled for tonight at the Exposition
building was declared off. Notwith-
standing this, thousand men gathered
about the building this evening and di
vided time with each other in denounc
ing the brutality of Spain and the
course of the President and Cabinet.
Chairman Sturgeon of the Relief
Committee admits that the District At
torney's strict Interpretation of the law
has retarded relief work, but insists that
the work will continue though in less
pronounced manner. He says: Il can
not conceive how anybody can construe
a meeting held to express our sympa-
thy with an oppressed country Strug
Cling for liberty and our adherence of
the cruel methods of their oppressors
into violation of the treaty or neu-
trality laws. We are not enliSting men
or organizing expeditions, but there is
certainly nothing to prevent man
from expiating himself if he sees fit. He
can leave the country and go to Cuba
or anywhere else and he is not obliged
to say before he goes what he is going
to do when he gets there"

TARIFF LEGISLATION.
Those Who Wish to be Heard Should
Put Their Arguments i'm Writing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. - The
Ways and Means Committee of the
House so far as possible are discourag-
ing oral hearings. Many persons who
have written for information respecting
the hearings have been asked to put
their arguments in writing, so that they
may receive more attention from the
committee than would be the case if
the latter had no such data before
them There is a determined effort on
the part of the committee to finish the
hearings on the date specified - Janu-
ary 11th-in order that no delay may
occur in preparing the tariff bill.
Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa, who will be the
Chairman of the subcommittee having
in charge the agricultural schedule, left
for the West this evening, but will re-
turn in time to be present at the first
hearing. Mr.. Dolliver says that the
agricultural schedule, which in effect
includes the wooden schedule, will re-
ceive careful attention from the COM
mittee. The farmers all along the
northern border have been complaining
bitterly for the past two years, he
says, of the competition of the Canadi-
ans, and it is proposed to give them a
protection that will be quite as satis-
factory as that afforded by the McKin-
lev bill

ST. PAUL (Minn), Dec. ia re-
view of the scene of this mornings s

The Northern Exchange Bank was de-
stroyed. 1t will be impossible to open
the vaults for forty eight hours. The

MODESTO, Dec. ia meeting to
discuss the irrigation difficulties was
held here to-day. The meeting was an
nounced as an anti-irrigation gather
ing, for the purpose of adopting resolu-
tions outlining proposed legislation, but
many favoring irrigation were in at
tendance at the opera-house, apparent
ly as spectators.
After some speech making, princi
pally by the attorneys for the anti
irrigators, resolutions were presented
asking the coming Legislature to allow
the Turlock and Modesto Districts to
surrender all completed works owned by
the districts to a corporation composed
of individuals on the return to the peo-
pie of all bonds sold by the districts.
This virtually means a surrender of
what has been accomplished since the
formation of the district in 1887. This
called forth hot discussion between
the 'antis" and the friends of the irri-
cation law. The resolution was adopt
ed
Another resolution was presented and
adopted asking the Legislature to re-
fund the bonds. making them forty or

WORK BEING HURRIED.
Warships Getting in Readiness for
Any Emergency.

BROOKLYN, Dec. 19.-It was stated
that hurry orders have been received
from the Navy Department at Wash
ington to the effect that all repairs on
the ships being overhauled at this sta
tion must be completed in time to allow
the ships to sail by January 1st.. Many
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been spent here within the last month
preparing the warships for active sery
ice.
The vessels now at the yard under
going repairs include the cruiser Co
lumbia, the ram Katahdin, the cruiser
Marblehead, the battleship Massachu
setts, the cruiser Montgomery, the
monitors Puritan and Terror and the
battleship Texas. The flagship New
York, which has been undergoing re-
pairs at the navy yard for the past two
weeks, came out of dry dock this morn
ing and steamed down to Tompkins-
vile rendezvous. Here she will take on
her supply of coal and ammunition, and
with the Maine will sail south Monday.
The other vessels here will follow as
fast as their repairs are completed, and
the Montgomery is said to be the next
one to follow during the latter part of
the week.
The objective. point of the fleet will be
Hampton Roads, where the entire
squadron, with the exception of those
ships on duty at Key West, will be
gathered under Admiral Bunce's flag
by the first of the year. The fleet will
be the largest and most powerful ag-
gregatiOn of warships ever collected
under the stars and stripes.

RED-LETTER DAY.
Citizens of Georgetown Entertain
President Cleveland.

GEORGETOWN (S. CO, Dec. 19.-This
has been another red-letter day in the
history of Georgetown, the day of the
Presidents reception. Banners were
stretched across the street in several
places. and many of the stores were
decorated with bunting
At o'clock the steamer Wistaria,
bearing the Presidential party from
Winyah Bay, hove in sight. The
whistles on all the tugs, steamboats,,
mills. and in fact everything that could
make a noise chimed in with the ring
ing of the bells and shouts of the
crowds. which continued until the
steamer reached the wharf.
President Cleveland stepped quickly
down the gangway and met Mayor
Morgan on the wharf, who introduced
him to the members of the Citizens
Committee. Captains Lamberton and
Evans and Commander Ackley accom-
panied the President. The party en-
tered carriages and was driven to
Winyah Indigo Hall, where the Presi-
dent met the ladies, who had decorated
the hall most beautifully with palmet-
tos, evergreens and bunting.
After the Ladies Committee reception
the public was received. President
Cleveland, standing in the lobby, shook
hands with every one as they passed
in line. When the reception was over

was driven to the depot of the George

special train was waiting. to which was
attached the Presidents private car,

people congregated at the station to bid
the President adieu. AS the train

EX-QUEEN LILIUOKALANI.
Leaves San Francisco for a Visit to
Boston, Massachusetts.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-Ex-
Queen Liliuokalani of Honolulu and her
suite left for Boston tonight on the
Sunset express via New Orleans The
royal visitor will arrive in the Massa-
cbusetts metropolis at 2:30 p m. on
Christmas Day.
Il shall visit my husbands relatives
while in Boston," she informed a rep
resentative of the United Associated
Presses this evening, land my plans
for the future will be announced shortly
after my arrival there. I am not at
liberty to state them at present. Re-
garding the stories that have been cir
culated concerning the object of my
visit l have nothing to say. 1 wish to
state, however, that I highly appreciate
the kind treatment accorded me in San
Francisco"
The eX-Queen was accompanied only
by her maid and Secretary and Mrs.
Ellen Graham, an intimate friend. 1t is
now understood that Princess Kiaulani
will visit her aunt in Boston.
Her purpose is to reach Boston on
Christmas Day, which is possible by
the Sunset limited. Though she has
persistently refused to be interviewed
while here, and has said practically
nothing for publication, she has given
her friends to understand that her
coming is purely family affair, and
has no political significance whatever
Her visit in Boston will be with the
Dominis, the family of her late hus-
band, and so far as she knows at pres
ent for an indefinite period. She knows
no reason for going to the National
Capital, and does not contemplate a
visit there. Realizing that she is go
ing to a severely cold country, in un-
comfortable contrast to the balmy eli
mate of her tropical home, she wanted
to get there with as little discomfort
as possible of that nature, hence her
choice of the Southern route.
