Our Cuban Relations With Our
Relation, Cuba.

On the first page of this issue we
reproduce from the December issue
of the SENTINEL in 1878, some melt
tion made-at the time of the impend
ing war with Cuba. The persons
named in the prose and verse were
men prominent at the time, most Of
whom have gone to their rest. Those
yet living will perhaps appreciate the
fact that in what the SENTINEL said
then, as what it aims always to say
taking the liberty of making personal
mention, is in the spirit of good hu-
humor, and such takes Off as may
be undertaken, relate to the charac-
teristics and incidents that are COM
mon property or common talk.
In connection with the Cuban
question we may state here, that at
about this time last year, March 8,
the American liner, Columbia was
fred into by Spanish man. of-war off
the coast of Cuba: Our feathers were
up in minute. The Eagle screamed
and the Rooster crowed. The SEN
T1NEL declared war. The Spaniards
apologized and white winged peace
and fall of snow like snch as fell
on Sunday brought quiet and good
feeling.
The war feeling, now again ram
pant. Not that as a government we
have any special grievance,no insult,
to resent,no claims to settle, no honor,
to maintain. But as liberty loving
people, in heart and soul with the op-
pressed people fighting for independ-
ence, we are for granting belIigerent
right, and then annexation.
Let us help the Cuban, peaceably if
it serves, forcibly if we must.

THE astounding news has reached
us this morning that the Forest Rose
Fountain in Lancaster has been
painted Red. This on st. Patrick's
Day, is defiance from the Dutch. In
tense excitement prevails. The Re-

chapel and Paddocks kennel has been
unleashed; Pursell has fed the city
and is under cover in Logan; Clay

THE Journal Gazette noting the
election of central committeeman ig-
nores the fact that Mr.. L, d. Vlckers
made strong fight for the place and
was defeated. Why Mr.. Vickers
should be thus conspiciously unmen-
toned, we can not understand. The
contest in his ward was the noted
feature of the campaign, thus far in
Hooking. His defeat was and is
town talk. But the Journal Gazette,
daily and semi-weekly, that does not
let pass without mention the slip of
pedestrian on the icy street, ignores
entirely the hottest contest the party
has ever had at a primary. Is it that
Mr.. Yickers ia under the bar, and
his name is not to be mentioned?
Some years ago this same organ, until
shamed by the SENTINEL, refused to
put his name, with others of the tick
ct, In the paper. Mr.. Vickers is not
a man of the shadows. He is not
gum shce statesman. He is not
ashamed nor afraid of his ups and
downs in the tussel of the ring to be
seen by men and discussed by the
papers.
Vlckers was defeated in his ward
for committeeman, and we are glad of
it. So once was Mckinley defeated,
and Foraker, and that greater than
all. Blaine. went down in more than
one disastrous defeat, and like Lin
coins whose defeat made him conspic-
ious, so too did the defeats of Blaine
make him immortal. There is moth
ing in defeat in well fought fight
to be ashamed of, and surely the
Journal-Gazette is not SO tender heart
ed toward the distinguished leader Of
their party in Hooking to withhold
the publication of defeat in ward
primary, for fear the battle scared
veteran would feel bad about it.
As we said, we are glad Vickers
was defeated. We hope to see Bill
Martin take his place, not only on
the committee, but in the field in the
fight this fall. Our friend, the enc
nv, Mr.. Martin we salute YOU, and
congratulate you, and congratulate
ourselves.

Drinkle becomes a Mckinley delegate

How Gen. GrOsvenOr Awkwardly

CAMP FOUR.

The beautiful spring weather of
last week was wont to make the av-
erage schoolboy yearn for the bright
sunshine and freedom of the open
fields. One of the young men in the
High school let his dreams of spring
carry him away oyer into summer,
and from that back to the middle of
last summer when he and his COM
panions pitched their tents in the ro-
mantle shades of the Rock Bridge,
which they called "Camp Four. :"
Illuminating on that delightful vaca-
tion he became poetic and let his
thoughts run into meter. A young
lady who found this poetic prouction
and rescued it from oblivion, hands
it to us, and as the author shows po-
etc talent, we give his lyric place in
our columns:

THE Columbus papers state that
Allen w. Thurman, returning from
meeting held in Cleveland of Sill
verites, reports with some evidence
of satisfaction, that this convention
"blasted Cleveland and Brice, aud
give it red hot to Campbell" From
this it would SEEM that the silverites
gave the shot blast" to the Demo
cratic party, because if the adherents
of Cleveland, Brice and Campbell do
not make up the Democracy, We are
at loss to know where our party is.
What pains us is to see our friend Al
Thurman training with the gang,
which in common with the Republl-
cans, the Prohibitionists, The Popu-
lists, abuse the Democracy. Honest
we'll meaning advocates of Free Sill
yer are good Democrats, and while
they may differ from our president,
our senator, our candidate for gov
.ernor: may not exactly like our state
and national platforms, yet they are
Democrats, and do not join with the
enemy of our party in abuse of our
leaders. We hope to see Al Thurman
at the national cony ention, not as the
abuser of any Democrat, but bold,
brave man, advocating bis views, and
submitting to the judgment of an in
telligent Democratic majority, like a
Democrat.

This at first glance might seem
like the simper Of the entire class of
High schovl poets and be passed
without second thought. But when
the Grubbin' Hoe of Truth and the
Curry Comb of Investigation gets
through the encrusting mold, rich,
rare gems of poetry and original con-
ceptions of verseable subjects dazzle
and astound us.
In the first verse we have "Silent
flow of water on the banks of the
river" This of course does not re-
fer to river water. The water of the
river don't flow on the bank, not as
rule, not in camping out season. The
lines are the exquisite presentation of
a condition that confronted the High
school pupil, standing alone on the
bank waiting for his nurse, which
could be mentioned in print only in
artistic vers; like Forest Rose of the
Fountain who can only be exhibited
in the fringery of her bicycle kirtlets.
In the same verse we have mention
of the phenomenal leaf movement;
maple leaves "quiver" as the wind
blows! Leaves may be given motion
in various direction by the winds, but
are never "quivered." The quiver
referred to by the High school poet
may have occurred, but the wind pro-
ducing it was not atmospheric nor
circumambient and prevailing at
Rock Bridge. Likely gas well was
exploded or gun was fred and the
leaves quivered from the conclusion.
The young man standing on the
bank of the Hook k-Hocking must have
funny time of it, with the silent
flow of water and the leaf quivering
concussing wind.
The thousand-year- old trees is po-
etic license, might say ten thousand
for that matter; and the "Close by
stately willows are at least three and
half miles away from the Bridge,
but this is pleasant fancy.
But the last verse is sumner. The
young man must have undertaken the
Ground Hog act in "Pitching his
tent all alone" He don't pitch un-
der the arches nor out in the lawn,
nor under the branches of the trees
with "quivering" leaves, but be bur-
rows down "under the ancient pill
lars" of the stone bridge. This was
not labor of love, nor romantic
fancy, and unless he was heartily
ashamed Of himself from the river
bank incident and he wanted to hide,
the performance was poetic ultimate
of the insanity or piece of dam
foolishness.
When the young lady of peering
eye and rescuing hand finds some
more poetic leaflets in the Lancaster
waste places, and Bro. Pursell will
approve them and print them, we
may bring the young writer out from
his burrow under the pillars and take
another look at him

WHEN Gov. Foraker was telling
the convention that "we know him
and he knows u.s." we thought, as we
saw Gen. Grosyenor sitting by his
side, looking like spynx with un-
currIed name and Duse dropping eye
that he had reference to this distin-
guished Republican whose Nenia
speech was healthy Democratic cam
paign matter. That Joseph Benson
knows Charles Henry, and the vice
versa, versa gees without the saying.

On the banks of the Hooking river
Where the silent water flow.
And the leaves of the maple Quiver,
AS the summer breez ezeS blow.

That a thousand years have stood,
Where the river seldom reaches
Through the darkness of the wood.
Beneath the ancient pillars,

Close by the stately willows
We pitched our cam . alone"

ST. John BOYLE.

The five sound-monev Democrats
still held out and refused to vote for
Blackburn because, they said lie
could not be elected even if they did
vote for him.
On Saturday March 7, Senator
Welssinger, one of these FIVE, was
sick, and paired with Republican.
On that day both the Populists voted
for Black burn, and he could have
been elected in two minutes if the
sound money Democrats had not vio-
lated their oft-repeated promises to
vote for Blackburn whenever both
Populists did. Speight, one of the
gold standard men, did come over,
Carroll, Violet and Walker broke
the faith and
STOOD OUT AGAINST BLACKBURN.
On Monday Senator Weissinger
died, and then the Republicans
thought sure they would elect Boyle.
The Republican House began at once
by unseating Kaufman, Democrat,
but in five minutes thereafter the
Democratic Senate unseated James
and Walton. two Republicans. Be-
fore Kaufman was unseated his con-
testart, Dunlap, withdrew from the
contest, but the House took up the
case. in spite of the withdrawal, and
unseated kaufman.
Then Dunlap declined to qualify,
and thus defeated the plans of the
party leaders. The calling out of the
troops and other events of the past
three days are too familiar to need
repeating. Beginning with tie, ,tol-
lowed by two deaths. withdrawal

tempt to get the Democratic nominee
to withdraw,it ended by the Governor

as one of the most remarkable polit-
ical fights of the age in any state.

THE KENTUCKY SENATORI
AL ELECTION.

The legislature of Kentucky ad-
journed on last Tuesday without elect
ing United States Senator. The
contest over the election of success
or to Senator Blackburn, is the most
noted in history of this country.
Briefly the case is this: At the
November election 6S Demo Gratis, 6S
Republicans and two Populists were
elected to the Legislature. The
Democrats nominated J. c. S. Black
burn as their candidate and the Re-
publicans put up DR.. w. Godfrey
Hunter. One Populist voted for
Black burn, and the other voted for
member Of his own party but was
suspected of being for Hunter.
The nominations were made some
days before the first time for the
first joint ballot, and before that
time arrived Isaac Wilson, a Demo-
cratic Representative died, thus
breaking the tie. The election of
Wilson's successor was postponed
some days longer than was custo-
mary in such cases, the Speaker of
the House being Republican and
wanting to give time to elect Hunter
before a Democrat could be

RETURNED IN WILSON PLACE.
The scheme did not work, for Sen
ator Siege, a Republican who was
opposed to Hunter anyhow, signed
pledge not to vote tor Hunter till
Wilson's successor was elected. If
he had voted for Hunter, then Poor,
the Populist, would have done so,too,
and would have elected him. Ten
sound money Democrats who declined
to 60 into the caucus issued an adj
dress stating their reasons for not
supporting Blackburn. Later all
but five of them came over and sup
ported Blackburn, and at any time
after Wilson's successor took his
seat Black burn could have been
elected had they voted for him.
After many days of balloting it
was discovered that Hunter, the Re-
publican nominee, had pledged him
self in writing to support the free
coinage of silver. He was virtually
requested to withdraw, and did SO.
This divided the Republicans into
factions, but they finally united on
