In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
BE hero in the strife.
Let others say imam is
creature of circumstances" if
they will, and by the law
of evolution we evolved
from one specie into an
other, yet reason still ad-
heres to the fatherho0d of God
and the brotherhood of man.
In all ages this idea has been
placed in the background, until
we are almost compelled to
think, as we consider the ques-
ton, that it is all mythology, a
connection of some subtle brain
to dupe the masses. Such is
not the case, however; evolu-
luton, we can but acknowledge
when we see the mighty
strides of science in every de-
partment, especially in labor
saving appliances, we are COM
PEELED to acknowledge that
man, by cultivation, evolves
from a nude savage to an in
telligence marvellous.
This brings us to the domin-
ant issue, viz: The capability
of the human brain to solve and
put into effect a satisfactory
solution of the greatest problem
that has ever emerged the finite
mind, The Labor Problem.
There never was a poison in
nature without it's antidote.
And as brain has concentrated
itself on inventing labor saving
machinery; SO even has it
focused itself on the supplying
work enough or reducing the
amount of work per man to
suit the exigency. Therefore,
reason says when there are four
millions of men that by modern
appliances are thrown out of
employment those that are
working must of necessity
work a shorter day. Who is
entitled to say how long one
must produce more than the
producer. If, by laboring from
30 to 70 days per annum each
one can produce enough to sus-
tain and c1Othe himself decent
ly, is it not an outrage to COM
pei him or her as the case may
be to work $50 days to keep
some narrOw-sO111ed. shallow

Hanna for the Treasury.

CHICAGO, Dec. "A special to the
Times-Herald from Canton, o., says:
The Times-Herald correspondent was
given authority tonight to state that the
cabinet question was fully discussed by
Messrs. Hanna and Mckinley yesterday
and today. Before leaving for home to-
day Mr.. Hanna was formally rendered
the treasury portfolio by the president
elect. Mr.. Hanna did not accept nor
refuse, but told Major Mckinley he
would take the matter under advise
ment. This information is authentic,
but the CORES pondent was informed un-
der promise that the source of knowl-
edge would not be given.

burning canetields and small stores with
their provisions and leaving a wide
waste of ruin and desolation in its
wake.
People vainly implore Weyler to leave
them provisions to keep them alive, but
his brutal officers refuse with oaths and
insulting words, if not worse.
Over 300 refugees have come into
Mariel since Weyler went out this last
time, all giving the same story of
rapine, pluuder and murder of the
Spaniards.
A Spanish guerrilla captain named
Colzaso is accused of numbering over 100
persons in the valleys south of MAriel
during the latter part of November. In
one instance he is accused of confning
num- Der of women and girlsin church,
and, after they had been repeatedly
abused and maltreated by his men,
burned the building with them in it.
Many other outrages, all as horrible,
are charged to him and his companions.

SOLDIERS FOE CUBA LIBRE.
One Hundred and Figty Men Enlisted in
Missouri.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, DEC. 2.-It has de-
veloped that there was an enlistment of
$50 men here for the Cuban service, and
others are expected to jpin when means
of transportation have been arranged for
by the Cuban junta of New York.
The man who has been active in se-
curing this number of men for the cause
of Cuba is David Berensberg, at one
time lieutenant in the regular United
States army, and prior to that soldier
in the German army during the Franco
Prussian war. AT the present time he
holds commission as captain of COM
panv of state militia located at this
point.
Berensberg just now is a member of
the police force of the city, and the
drillmaster of. the force. A number OF
his old associates in the regular army
are down on the list, and all of them
expect soon to be serving under the
Cuban flag.

Fifteen Miles of Solid Ice
Gorge in the River.
OVER A MILLION DOLLARS DAMAGE
Wevler Continues His Murders in Cuba.
His Officers Burn a Number of
Women and Girls.

CHIPPEwA FALLS, Dec. 2.-Confusion
reigns in Chippewa Falls today. The
thoroughly alarmed people are making
every effort to leave as little for the in
coming waters to destroy as they posi-
bly, can. Two hundred teams and drays
have rushed hither and thither all day.
The streets are Uttered with merchan-
disc. The water remained stationary
until about 3 o'clock this morning, and
then began rising rapidly, and inside of
four hours an additional rise of eighteen
inches had been registered The river
at 10 O'Clock is twenty-four feet and ris-
ing. Business is abandoned, and the
city is in a state OF tumult. Thous-
ands of people are anxiously waiting in
groups of so or more, excitedly discuss
ing the situation on every corner.
Anything is expected and nothing may
happen, but the greatest danger lies in
the probable changing of the river S
course to throw it into the town. The
water can never cut its way under
fifteen miles of ice gorge formed in the
bed of the river. Experts believe the
gorge will soon become anchored to the
bottom of the river. In this case the
river must flow out around it. Its nat
ural course in this event lies directly be-
hind the town.
Three thousand pounds of dynamite
arrived this morning, and men have
been exploding it at various points along
the river. 1t failed to relieve the situa-
ton. All the buildings on River street
are today flooded to the second story and
the ice around them is doing serious
damage to the structures.
The Central depot is under three feet
of water, and will be carried away before
night. The Milwaukee freight depot is
in similar situation, and the coal sheds
near by are wrecked.
The report reached here this morning
that the gorge at Little Falls dam,
eighteen miles above the city, had
broken away, permitting a rush of water
upon the town. If this report is au.
thentic, the entire town will be inun.
dated as soon as the water arrives. Fifty
of the largest business firms have aban.
doned their structures entirely and
every reslOent mas maze preparations &c
seek place of safety in case the worst
occurs. The damage already done this
city and the rich farming country above
it is estimated at 81 100000.
A special from Durand, Wis.,, says:
''The ice gorge below the city forced
the water to within four feet of the grsat
food of 1884 last night, filling cellars anC
overlooking streets. Should the Chippe
wa Falls gorge break, Durand will be il
great danger, as the bluffs at RounC
Hill will not hold the gorge there

Another Americap Arrest.d.

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. Letters re-
ceived from Cuba say that young Oscar
Cespedes, an American citizen and cor
respondent of Key West newspaper,
who has been confined in prison at Ma
tanzas for several months, will be tried
by court martial. Young Cespedes is
accused of being a filibuster, and al
though an American citizen, his friends
here fear he will be condemned to death
by the Spanlards and executed.
The case of Cespedes is similar to that
OF Ona Melton, newspaper correspond
ent, who has been confined in the
Cabanas fortress for the last nine
months. Both cases have been reported
to Secretary Olney, with the request
that he intervene in behalf of American
citizens. Melton has just had an at.
tack of yellow fever, and is very weak
1t is feared he will die unless speedily
released.

A PHOSPHATE MINE.
A Rich Discovery Has Been Made In
Tennessea.

Rich Discovery Has Been Made In
Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, Dec. 1.-The richest and
most extensive discovery of rock phos-
phate in the history of the world has
been made IN Tennessee. The deposits
underlie four counties in the vicinity of
Nashville, Davidson, Williamson, Ruth.
erford and Maurey. The rock lies in a
vein averaging from to II feet in thick
ness, and is but 10 feet below the sur
face.
The commercial value of the discovery
it is impossible to estimate, but the out
put will be worth more than that of the
richest gold d-minipg territory in the
world. The discovery of the phosphate
was made by Mr.. Clark, of a well
known chemist firm in Atlanta, Ga.
Among those who 1t is said have bought
up large tracts of land in the above
named counties are George w. Scott, a
capitalist of Atlanta; Phil D. Armour,
of Chicago; James Mattison, of Lasalle,
Ind, and the Northwestern Fertilizing
Company of Chicago, Representatives
of Europeans are now in the field.
Carloads of rock have already been
shipped 70 New York and Chicago, and
several steamers have cleared from Flor
ida ports with rock from Tennessee.
Large consignments have been shipped
to Atlanta, and it ia stated upon reliable
authority that several fertilizipg plants
will be erected there. James NJ. Stat
ford, state geologist of Tennessee, says
the rock is the richest ever disco -ered,
and that the increased value to the state
cannot be estimated.

The market continues very slow in all
departments. with only a handto-mouth
business in progress. Cotton fabrics are
depressed through oversupply. and manu-
facturers find it very difficult TO market
their goods except al cut prices and regard
less Of cost. Some Of the mills employed
on export goods claim TO have a steady
business, but the American market is de-
pressed. Printed fabrics are dull while
ginghams are featureless. Trade in dress
woOlens is very slow with both agents and
jobbers. Business In fall fabrics with the
former has petered out much quicker than
expected, although fall purchases from
abroad were very much curtaied. Mems
wear woolens are slow. and the market
