SPANISH GENERALS.

The generals of no nation in the world
ever made such record for stupidity, in
capacity and lying as the epauIeted frauds
who have commanded the Spanish troops
in Cuba since early in the year 1885. The
Spanish political yearbook for 1895. which
has recently been received in this country,
gives the following authentic account OF
the number OF soldiers the Madrid Govern
ment sent to Cuba last year to crush the
rob a1iOn.

WHERE THE POLITICIAN is AT REST

At the county seat OF Cherry,
Where the rolling Niobrara
Gives to all the scene very
Fine, enchanting, gorgeous look
Not a single man is seeking
For an office worth the speaking,
While some other boots are squeaking
Clear from Douglas TO McCook.
Almost every other section
Has an eye in this direction,
Men who wait the fall election
Now In feverish suspense;
There's 8 mighty termination
Among the rural population
OF good people seeking station &.
OF reward and consequence.
Politicians now are flying
Round the State, each fellow trying,
By close, systematic lying.
AS it we're, to kick the goal;
The persimmon is a treasure
They will look upon with pleasure
Walch will fall in o the measure
OF the one with longest pole.
Cherry County in this action
Is not driven 10 distraction,
But with quiet satisfaction
Views the conflict right along;
Her great people do not rattle
AL about IN this old battle:
They are raising corn and cattle
And their pocket books are strong.
When old age my system skaters,
A nd my clothing Is in tatters
And I've squared my earthly matters
For journey to the Styx,
Let my people kindly bury
Me beside the Niobrara,
Near the county seat Of Cherry,
Where they Gave no politix.

An equivocal record on this question will dis
pose of any mans chances at Chicago.-Evans-
vile Courier.
Mckinley has never assumed to be greater or
wiser than the Republican National platforms,
and he is not the sort of man to be forced into
an attempt TO forestall the statement of princi-
pies to be adopted by the party in st. Louis
next month.-Globe Democrat
The false pretense of having assurances that
Mckinley is "all right on silver, that he is
for sound money" no longer helps the case
of the New York supporters of the Ohio man.
He is not all right; he is not sound. His rec
ord proves it.-New York Times.
With Mckinley as a candidate the tariff issue
will be as live As it has ever been, and McKin-
ley's nomination at st. Louis seems assured.
But the Democrats are wrangling among them
selves over the currency issue, seemingly for
getful that there was ever a Mckinley tariff

If any American should be shot in Cuba
the responsibility will rest with the ad-
ministration that should long ago have
acted in accordance with the voice of Con-

In addition to these 172, 295 soldiers from
Spain Cuba has furnished, under compul-
sion, of course, fully $4,000 for garrison
duty in Havana and other cities. This
gives grand total of %, 295 well armed
and we'll drilled soldiers, who, after fight
ing for fifteen months, find themselves
huddled up in towns and cities for safety.
Meanwhile, the rebels have captured and
now hold all of every one of the six prov
inces of the island except the towns and
cities, and no doubt they would hold those
situated out of reach of the Spanish navy
if it were to their interest to hold them.
But the singular part of it all is the five
corps which constitute the rebel forces do
not number over As 600 all told and most
of them have been poorly armed until
quite recently. Hitherto the Spanish gen.
erals have referred to the insurgents as an
army of invaders, but now that the re bel
General Gomez has issued an order
calling his troops "The Republics
Army of Occupation" General Weyler
will probably work himself into a
fit of long-range evaporation and shoot
batch of old men and women. However,
Spain is hurrying to dispatch 10000 more
men to engage in putting down the rebel
lion, which will make the grand total sent
against the $4,000 rebels mount up to
262, 295.
When it is remem bered that, according
to Spanish reports. there has been battle
every day for nearly 400 days and that the
rebels have invariably retreated after los
ing about ten men to Spain's two, one is
disposed to ask whether the rebels have
the power to reincarnate the next moment
after death or whether General Weyler
and his officers do not know how to tell
the truth. Anyway, if President Cleve-
land does not hurry up and recognize the
belligerency of the Cubans the opportunity
may slip him. They may not want it
