Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-12-15

Washington, d. c., Dec. 7.-Presi
dent Cleveland to-day transmitted his
annual message to congress. Con-
densed, il is as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
AS representatives of the people in
the legislative branch Of their govern
ment, you have assembled at a time
when the strength and excellence of
our free institutions and the fitness of
our citizens to enjoy popular rule have
been again made manifest. A political
contest involving momentous conse-
Quences, fraught with feVerish appre-
hensiOn, and creating aggressiveness
so intense as to approach bitterness
and passion, has been Waged through
out our land, and determined by the
decree of free and independent suf-
frage, without disturbance of our tran
guilty or the least sign of weakness in
our national structure. When we con-
slider these incidents and contemplate
the peaceful obedience and manly sub
mission which have succeeded a heated
clash of political opinions, we discover
abundant evidence of a determination
on the part OF our countrymen to abide
by every verdict of the popular will.
and to be controlled at all times by an
abiding faith in the agencies estab-
lished for the direction of the affairs
exhibit a patriotic disposition, which
entities them to demand of those who
undertake to make and execute their
laws such faithful and unselfish SER
vice in their behalf as can only be
prompted by a serious appreciation OF
the trust and confidence which the ac-
ceptance of public duty invites.
In obedience to a constitutional re-
Quirement l herein submit to the con-
gress certain information concerning
national affairs with the suggestion of
such legislation as in my judgment is
necessary and eXpedient. To secure
brevity and avoid tiresome narration,
shall omit many details concerning
matters within federal control which,
though by no means unimportant, are
more proftably discussed in depart
mental reports. / shall also further
curtail this communication by omit
ting a minute recital of many minor
incidents connected with our foreign
relations which have heretofore found
place in executive messages but are
now contained in a report of the Treas
ury of State.

SPAIN AND CUBA.
The Insurrection" In Cuba.

The insurrection in Cuba still con-
tinues with all it's perplexlties. 1t is
difficult to perceive that any progress
has thus far been made toward the
modification of the island or that the
situation of affairs as depicted in my
last annual message has in the least
improved If Spain still holds Havana
and the seaports and all the consider
able towns, the insurgents still roam at
will Over at least two thirds of the
inland country II the determination
of Snain to put down the insurrection
seems but to strengthen with the lapse
of time. and is evinced by her unhesi-
tattng devotion of largely increased
military and naval forces To the task,
there Is much reason 10 believe that
the insurgents have gained In point Of
numbers. and character, and resources.
and are none the less inneXihle in their
resolve not to succumb, without prac-
tically securing the great objects for
which they took up arms. III Spain
has not yet re-established her author
ity. neither have the insurgents yet
made good their title to be regarded as
an Independent state Indeed, as the
contest has gone on, the pretense that
civil government exists on the island,
except so far as Spain is able to main
tain il, has been practically abandoned
Spain does keep on foot such a gov
eminent, more or less imperfectly, In
the large towns and their immediate
suburbs. But. that exception being
made, the entire country Is either

1t should be added that 1t cannot be
reasonably assumed that the hitherto
expectant attitude of the United
States will be indefinitely maintained.
While we are anxious to accord all due
respect to the sovereignty Of Spain, we

IMPROVED SADDLES And BRAKES.
The Bicycle Not Yet Perfect-Pro-
vision for the Wheel on the High
way Excellent Officials for
the L. A. W. Meet.

Although the people generally from
blushing schoolgirl noyices to flying ex-
perts, devoutly believe that the wheel Of
the present day is perfection itself, there
arc many scientific persons who do not fall
in with this view. These claim that there
is still a large field for inventive geniuses
in the matter Of improving the bicycle
saddle and especially the saddles for
women.
1t viii always be a difficult matter to
suit the general run Of riders in the mat
ter of saddles. Tell a racing man that be
must not jar out his existence with q hard
saddle, and be will Invariably retOr6 that
he viii not wabble about so much on
hard saddle as he would upon pneumatic.
Deprecate the various styles Of wind"
saddles, queer shaped, padded affairs, and
such cOntrivances, and the cyclist will
quickly make up his mind that either Of
these styles is the proper thing And so
it seems that cOntrariness is C controlling
impulse with many purchasers. Hence
tho question, What is the proper saddles'
remains much nooted. And it is held by
close students of the subject that the anat-
omy Of woman is such that her saddle
must differ distinctly from the mans 1t
is plain, therefore, that each woman must
seek out what is adapted to herself and
can be used with safety.
Then there is the matter of brakes.
Many riders do not bcliove in them at all,
whilo many who want brakes assert very
truly that the cid fashioned brake is too
heavy 1t is ciaimod that this difficulty
has been solved by new brake which
weighs but few ounces and is constructed
OF an entirely different principle from the
ordinary brake. The rider simply pushes
the button, and the wheel does the rest.
There is a thuElbpiece On the handle bar,
and when pressed little friction vince is
drawn il contact with tho tire. It's axla
is a right and loft screw which draws the

where no other gear comes and away from

removed the brake Immediately releases
itself. It is claimed for this brake that it
