TO BURN KEY WEST.
Letter Comes From Guanabas
Goa Confirming Previous
Reports.

Galveston, Sept. 1o.-The
News of Tuesday contained a
report from New York and
from Key West that a plan
was on foot to capture ard de-
stroy Key West by the Span
ISL. Yesterday Louis Penes
received a confirmation of this
report in a letter from Cuba.
This letter is as follows:
Guanabacoa, Sept. 2. 1896.
Louis Penes, General Agent
.of Texas, Galveston-Dear
Friend: l suppose you heard
about the plot here to go to
Florida and burn Key West.
Well, it is true, and tell all to
look out In this city Joseph
Canedo, the Spanish patrio;
had a dinner, | attended it ane
heard that two traitors to Il e
Cuban cause, all spc tiers OF
Weyler's administration, and
with others of the same kind;
are to go to Key West and for
the sum Of $1,000 to set the
place on fire.
l have sent a letter to the
newspaper, the Yara, of Key
West, telling them to beware
and be on the lookout.
The reason a few Of us know
about this plot is because one
of the men that is engaged to
do the work is afraid of Uncle
Sam and is keeping back, want
ing to get out and leave the
others in the trouble.
The butchers Of Havana sent
a commission to General Wey-
Ter to tell him that they are not
able to pay any taxes as they
have got no money and bus
mess is played out.
The Spanish troops are now
in a terrible condition. They
are getting one meal a d. y,
composed of boiled cabbage
and Spanish peas. lhey get
no bread, as the bakers refuse
to trust the government.

LIVELY sNAKE-RAT FIGHT

bat the other day between a
4-foot blacksnake, a rat and
cat.
Strong went out to the barn
along in the middle of the af
ternoon 10 get pitchforS, and
when he opened the door hew as
astonished to see a big snake
sliding around the barn floor
in a circle 9TH his head up in
the air at 6 inches.
In the cen er of the circle
described by the snake stood
an immense barn rat. lis eyes
were on The snake which APP
peared to be sparring for an
opening.
Neither the snake nor the rat
paid any attention to the man,
and he sat down on the floor TO
see The fun. The snake evident
ly was trying its powers Of
fascination on the rat, but the
willy rodent didn't propose to
be charmed, and every few
seconds it whirlea round like
flash and before the snake
could strike was facing the
music again.
The rat showed no fear Of
its adversary. 1t might have
squirmed through a hole in
the floor a hundred times and
escaped if it had felt disposed
TO do so. 1t seemed to be lock
ing for trouble, and just to work
the snake up a little, It occa
sionaliy leaped in the direction
Of its tail, which movement
caused the snake to suddenly
switch its tail behind it while
it faced the rat with a stony
stare and flying tongue.
The snake circied around the
rat a dozen times, and every
trip it made brought it closer
10 the raj, who suddenly real
lied the situation and. leapiug
into tue air, described Il heauI

Twice the rat played the

teeth.
The movement was quick,
but the snake was alert, and
before the rat could get away
its long neck shot back and It's
jaws closed on the rats neck.
That was where the Eair was
short and the rat equealed like
pig. 1t was good hold and
the snake shook the rat like a
terrier, finally dropping it,
evidently with the idea of TAX
ing fresh bold, but the rat
was far from dead, and it no
sooner felt itself free from the
snakes jaws than it jumped to
safe distance and faced its
enemy.
The snakes mad was up, and
it went at The rat like a Whirl-
wind. The rat lodged and
unanswered like a general, I'M
I'll it thought it saw another
opening, then it few at the
snakes body again, but it
missed the mark, and in an in
slant it was again in the jaws
of its enemy. The rat squealed
and clawed, but the snake held
on.
About this time Strong's old
cat Pomp walked through the
door. The squealing Of the rat
attracted his attention, and
stopping, he eyed the combat
ants briefly. He quickly made
up his mind to mix with the
row, and, crouching, moved
steaIthiIy up on the snake. The
snake was too busily engaged
with the rat TO notice the cat,
and the first intimat OIL it al
Of the presence of the enemy
was a sharp nip in the back OF
the neck that caused its jaw 8
to fly open.
The rat dropped to the floor

A PLEA FOR UNITY.
All Reformers Must Join Hands.

Editor Representative:
By degrees the people are coming to
their senses; we hope not too late for the
protection of their own interests. The
different reform organizations which are
divided by the mode Of procedure, are
unable to accomplish the end in view sin
ely, viz, the public good. We hope the
members Of the organizations will come to
an understanding and that common sense
eventually will prevail; that separate we
can do nothing, united we can win vic
troy of our principles. Equal Justice to
all special privileges to none" Let that
be our battle cry. The emancipation of
labor our great object.
We presume a majority of refOrmerS are
employed on the farms, in the Mines and
in the shops and we agree that our inter-
ests are identical, and on the profita BILE
employment of the labor of this trinity
depends the welfare of our nation, and
the success Of our republican form of gov
eminent, viz, to make the people pros
porous and happy.
We hope, therefore, that all reformers
as part of the people and for the sake of
unity will act wisely, approve of the steps
already taken to join forces and turn our
thoughts to the means of having the pro-
gram successfully carried out.
Let US endeavOr to overcome our preju-
dices, our local interests for the time be-
ing.
Let us even sink some of our selfish
other and to our opponents that we intend
to work out the economic problems and
wrest our interests from the iron hands
of oppression.
Let us astonish our opponents for once
by working and voting together for that
which will benefit the masses and give the
dealers in National Bonds "a day Off"
The country can expect no relief from
the old parties, for they are in fact but
one Both say no more silver money, and
more bonds.
Look at the vote taken in the house of
congress the 18th inst, 215 against and
only 80 in favor of the white metal!
This vote also demonstrates that Cleve-
land has continued the Republican finan-
cial policy. -Four years ago the Peoples
party went before the people with the
Omaha platform. but was defeated at the
polls, but thank God there is yet time for
another fight in which we believe the
Peoples party will come out victorious.

WORDS OF ADVICE.
Thinks We Can Trust Each Other.

Editor Representative.
We are much interested in the silver
fight going on in congress and approve
the latest action of the senate in saying
to those gold bugs mo silver, no tariff"
If we can force the gold bugs to fight
us on the issue, paramount above all
others, viz; shall the United States pur-
sue it's present policy of a gold standard
in finance or shall we return to the policy
of using gold and silver as redemption
money? In other words would our people
prefer lower prices or higher prices? If we
can simplify the issues so we can array
the friends Of gold, on the one side, and
the friends of gold and silver on the other
possibly we may down the gold bug. If
we can, 1 am willing to trust the COM
bined intelligence and honesty of an ele-
ment which is able to win national vic
tory on that simple issue. I am ready to
trust them to enforce the idea by ap-
pirate legislation, and take chances about
even the present congress has old party
members by the hundred, who believe
the government should own several lines
of railroad-then what could we expect.
from a reform element such as would
have power to remonetize silver? Would
they stop with one reform law? Well,
hardly, we do not want to- sacrifice Popu-
list principle. Our war cry should be
Jeffersonian democracy and Lincoln re-
publicanism, and that of itself is suf-
ficient definition of the political faith to
which we hold
We must not be too fussy about having
the minutest details of our belief in the
platform. That would be senseless and
suicidal. The men are increasing rapidly
in the old parties who want shot at the
gold standard. If we are wise we shall
SO arrange the contest that every friend of
bimetalism l. e. silver and gold at Is to 1
for the United tSates, regardless of what
other countries may do, will shoot with
1nt o. Incl md ~, hot yny,f
America will score the greatest victory
she ever won over the mother country

SOME SENSIBLE VIEWS.
Don't Try to Get All the Furniture Through
the Door at the Same Time.


Editor Representative:
Permit me space for few remarks as to
the coming campaign.
Several suggestions have been made about
fight. for one believe that our platform
should neither be plank platform nor
a whole loadfu of planks. My platform is
like this: Finance, transportation, land. And
initiative and referendum If agreeable to
the majority. We must leave out the liquor
plank. AS any plank that will not get us
any vote is an incumbrance instead of help.
In the last campaign in order to get the
support of those voters who were in favor
liquor plank. Did we get their support No.
The prohibition element put up their can
didates and tried as best they could to down
u.s. by voting for candidates that did not
stand one show in ten thousand of being sue
cessful. l honestly believe the liquor bust
ness should be wiped from the face of the
earth, as it is a degrading element in our
social organization.
Let us, however, first break the shackles.
that are drawn tighter and tighter every
year. The grip of money-lenders and bond
syndicates is more to be dreaded than the
one horse saloon. We must also leave out
the woman,s suffrage plank as useless at
present. and more of an incumbrance. Not
but what the majority of women could vote
as intelligently as many men, but there we
have too much prejudice to battle against,
and as we are a new party opening the
doors for reform let us conduct our fight on
two three of the most important issues
and afterward, as the people are educated
I'D to the new ideas and principles we can
bring in the lesser reforms.
We are pretty much like a man who has
built house and bought his furniture, on
coming home, he tries to drag In the stove,
bedsteads, bureaus, and tables through the
door at the same time, but finds that he
admit all these things at once. But when
he takes one thing at time it is easy
enough. It Is just so with reforms. If we
try to push all things through at the same
time. the chances are we will not get any
reform at all.
1t takes time for the human mind to ad-
just itself to new ideas and to do away with
time-worn prejudice.
When trouble started in this country In
IT'S, the best men we had, did not believe
