HELP FOR CUBAN PATRIOTS.

The great reinforcement for the
Cuban patriots has at last arrived.
1t is the yellow fever, which is
killing the Spaniards by the thous-
ands which the Cubans are un-
touched. This is what the pa
triots have long waited for.
Advices from Havana tell a ter.
rible story Of the ravages of the
fever among the Spanish troops in
the island. The cases run into the
thousands and from 30 to 90 pei
cent Of them are fatal. In Santiago
de Cuba alone 1890 soldiers are in
the hospitals, and along thetrochas

gravated, so much 50 that add.

SECRET SOCIETIES.

DIR. Talmage, the great divine,
in speaking of secret orders and
societies says very truly: Il
might as well preach against a
cry busy ant hin or bee hive
vs. to declaim tie secret socie-
aes, or to cry ont against the
the existing order of things.
Association is a divine arrange
ment. Men are made for com.
partnership. No life is or can be
self existent. We depend upon
each other. Secrecy is largely
true of both secular and sacred
things. Council or lodge hall
is not a church, but all true
beneficiary orders owe their ex-
istance TO the spirit of Christi
anity. They are children of the
church in the sense that they
were borne under Christian in.
fiuence. They are auxiliaries tC
the church in the work of be.
nevolence. They are co-work'
ers in the great sense of humrn
ity in amelioration ofthe human
race and in the promotion of the
interests of mankind"

What Will the Populist Do?

National Secretary Turner, of
the Peoples party, puts it cor
rectly when he says that the
question for that party to con-
slider is whether VIM. J. Bryan,
who is denounced by every gold
bug in the country as a populist,
shall be elected, or whether by
withdrawing their support from
him they shall insist on the cleo
ton OF William Mckinley, who
represents everything that the
populists have denounced since
they have been party. This is
the question, pure and simple,
stripped of every hair-splitting.
What will the real reformers in
the South think of themselves
and their leaders ifthey accede to
the wishes Of the gold men, who
will undoubtedly be at St. Louis,
either in person or by proxy, to
have such action taken as will
aid in the election of VIM. Nc
Kinley.-News and Observer.
This is a cordial invitation to
the populist to walk into the
democratic camp and help cleo,
a man they had no choice in Sc
lecting. If the democrats had
been as solicitous of the welfare
of their third party friends before
the Chicago convention some.
thing might have come out of it,

right and proper they should dc
considerable missionary work
among our own race in that city
