THIEVES ABOUT.
They Make a Haul From
Joel T. Num-.
Got Into the House Through IL Win
dow and Helped Th emselves
TO All That Was In Sight.


Burglars entered the residence OF
Joel I. Num- Wednesday, night. They
got into the house by prising open a
window. They went through the whole
house but took nothing but a silver
cigar holder and Mr.. Nunn's pocket
book. Mr.. Num- says the pocket
book contained between ten and fifteen
dollars in cash.
The same night at 8 o'clock in the
morning burglars attempted to burg
lariZe the residence of Mrs. S. J. Ber-
ry on Good Hope street. They tried
several windows but could raise none
till they got to the window to the
room occupied by Emmett Miller, the
young man who wants to be our Post
master. They pried the window open,
but they did not get into the house.
Mr.. Miller was wide awake. He was
looking for message from Grover
Cleveland to inform him of his ap-
pOintment as Postma ster and he heard
the window go up. Mr.. Miller never
thought of burglars. He called to
the telegraph boy to know if he had
message from the President and
that scared the burglar away.

A Theory About Cuba.

Inc ulIIcullN dUOuI HuulHS JuStlhSo
ton for interference in the case of
Cuba has caused much discussion
and brought out many suggestions.
Among others, Senator-elect McEnery,
of Louisiana, who is a jurist OF high
standing, has theory upon the sub
ject. He holds that we have right,
under the Monroe doctrine, to drive
Spain out of Cuba. That is to say,
he maintains that the revolutiOnists
have practically established their in
dependence aLG :iiia. Er,E- &C O,cu-
pies merely the position of an aggres-
sor, seeking to conquer the island.
The Monroe doctrine is 10 Ine erect
that no European Power shall acquire
territory in the American hemisphere,
or exercise dominion over an Ameri-
can country; and if it be conceded
that the Cubans have to all practical
intents and purposes dissolved their
relations with Spain, then it follows,
of course, that the latter is waging a
war which renders her amenable to
the mandates of that doctrine. 1t all
depends upon the view that Is taken
of Spain's failure, so far, to suppress
the revolution and enforce her author
ity over the island. Mr.. McEnery's
argument is based entirely upon the
assumption that this failure is mani
festly such as signifies success for the
other side; and therefore, he contends,
we should interfere and compel her to
cease her attempts to reconquer Cuba,
after having once lost her right of
possession.
1t is easy to say that a theory of
this kind is defective as strictly le-
gal proposition, but Mr.. McEnery
can point to the fact that it has been
indorsed, nevertheless, by the party
which recently carried the country
and is soon to take control of the
Government. In the platform on
which hey made their fight and gain
ed their victory, the Republicans
said: ''The Government of Spain,
having lost control of Cuba, and be-
ing unable to protect the property Or
lives of resident American citizens, or
to comply with its treaty obligations,
we believe that the Government of the
United States should actively use its
influence and good Offices to restore
peace and give independence to the
island" Those who voted the Re-
publican0 ticket voted for this dcclara-
tion asmuchas for any otherpart ofthe
platform, and the party stands pledged
to carry it out. There can be no
doubt about the feeling of large
majority of our people in the matter.
They believe that Spain has ''losl
control of Cuba and that the luvu-
lutionists are in effect fighting against
an inva sion by q Earopo..n Power.
If they are right in this view, then Mr..
McEnery is not necessarily wrong in
his contention that the Monroe doc
trine is a sufficient warrant of inter-
'ShsAOh Oh Jul pal II 10 very -CcI-
tain. at any rate, that public senti-
ment in the United States, regardless
of party lines, Is decidedly in sympa-
thy with the Cubans and opposed to
the continuance OF the efforts of Spain
to subdue them: and this sentiment
will have to be respected by Congress
and the President in the near future.

Harrison Not a Senatorial Candidate.

! INDIANAPOLIS, IND. December O.
Ex-President Harrison to-day settled
the controversy as to whe.herh he would
allow his name to go before the legis-
lativecaucus ofRepublicaus for United
States Senator by giving out an inter-
view. in which he says heis not can
didate, does not want the nomination
and could not accept it. The ex-
President was asked regarding the re-
port that he had written a letter in
which he bad stated that he would not
be candidate. The General made the
following answer in writing:
SIT is not true. I have written no
such letter. But to every one who Sas
spoken to me l have, from the time of
the first mention of the subject, freely
said not only that | was not a candi-
date, but that did not wantand could
not accept the senatorship. To remain
in private life is my desire and my
purpose. This purpose is not wholly
urged the too friendly view that l
could serve the country usefully in
public Office | have answered that l
can proba bly, do better service out of
office: that what l might say or write
on public questions as a private citi-
zen will beget more confidence. l shall
also keep out Of the contest as med
dler. My only interest is that OF
citizen proud ofhis State, and the only
advice l have to give is that the Leg
islature shall choose a man who will
in the highest duties of the office digni-
fy the State and honor the country"

COLUMBIA. Mo-, December 3.-Dr
Thos. Powell. of this place, claims to
have made discovery which will be
of the greatest value to the medical
profession, if his claims are substan-
tiated by experience. He says he can

diphtheria and scarlet fever. He has
succeeded in interesting several capi-
talists, and to-day entered into a con-
tract selling one-third interest in the
discovery to California parties for

Fads in Mourning.

A carriagewas standingOn Broad
way corner the other day, an open
barouche, with mulberry cushions.
The upholstery would not have come
into consideration if there had not
been black rosettes on the outside OF
the bride of each horse, a band of
black around the left arm of the coach
man over his tan-colored coat, and a
broad black band around his tall hat.
1t is an illustration of the way people
should not GO into mourning, accord
ing to what is known as good form. "
1t is "good FORM when a family is in
mourning tohave the upholstery of the
carriages and the livery of the SER
wants all black. 1t is not bad form to
omit this, but the halfway evidence of
mourning is not considered good
taste.-New York Times.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. J Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommend ing Dr. Kings New Discovery, as the results were most marvellous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Ju1c- tion she was brought down with Pneu- monia succeeding La Grippe. Ter rible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. Kings New Discovery; it was quick in it's work and highly satisfactory in re- suits" Trial bottles free at Cheno- weth & Mix's Drug Store. Regular size 50 cts and Sl.0O.

the house will be opened to the public about the first of May. It is large, two story structure of brick and stone, with the office, dining room, kitchen, store rooms, etc, on the ground floor, and the parlors and nineteen large and airy guest chambers on the upper floor. Most of the latter command excellent views of the bay and the shipping in the harbor. The bar room will be fitted with an elegant bar and mirror which are now being made to MT Marchebout's order in St. Louis. The dining room is 3sx55 feet, with marble tilted flooring, and high ceilings, twenty feet above the floer. The house will be fitted with all late modern i'm provements, finely furnished. and will be the most complete and best ap- pointed hostelry on the Pacific south of San Diego, California.
 The leather produced at Guaymas has a world wide reputation and is shipped to all parts of the globe where leather is used. The well known purity of the water, the qualities of the tan bark and the other resolvents used give the product a finish and value for service exceeded by no leather from any other part of the world. The pioneer tannery of So- nora is that of MT. Peter B. Chisem of Guaymas. He has all the latest me chanical improvements for finishing and dressing leather, and his output is numbered by carloads. The tan bark used comes from Lower Califor- mia, the salt from Carmen island, and are both imported by the shipload. His product is marketed in St. Louis, Chicago, New York, England, France and Germany. In connection there with MT c. has an extensive harness and saddlery making establishment from which is turned out the very best work, He also manufactures belting of all sizes on an extensive scale, and the demand is so great that it keeps the capacity of his extensive establish ment strained to keep up the supply. Recently he has received from the state of Durango an order which calls for ton of belts of various sizes. The foreman of his tannery is MT. H. L. Conan; and the curriers' are Messrs. F. H. and Samuel Parkhurst His nephew MT. Peter Kildoyle has charge of the business office and ship ping department.

To the Shreveport Judge.

Don't measure other mons stand
ard by your own conscience. When
you say that some of the populist
leaders are sup to smut" and are
Sin the deal for what there is in
it," you want to convey the idea
that they want money. That is
your only idea of taking any ac-
tive stand on any question. If you
had been in the American revOlu-
ton you would have been either a
hired Hessian, or a purchased
Tory.
You have not the least bit of
patriotism in your soul, and have
not manhood enough to imagine
others can have it. While other
people SNAKE hay while the sun
Shines" you make yours in the
dark where honest men are exclud-
ed from an audience. Not many
months ago you were travelling
around the country calling Blan-
chard anything but gentleman,
but when the proper time came
you became his willing tool and
helped him to defeat the honest
friends of free silver in the demo-
cratic party in this state by help
ing to keep it from being an issue.
Such men as you, are the men that
enemies of the people use, to de-
feat the will of the people and
keep in power the debauchers of
liberty and the destruction of
prosperity. Do you serve for
money put up for that purpose or
is it from pure ignorance If for
the former that is the reason you
think every man is for sale, if
from the latter we can excuse your
want of respect for other people,

AS we have said elsewhere in
this issue, the Democrats have
made open and secret deals with
the negro they have brought him
into primaries and cons entlons and
caucuses ). they have him in Office
and on their ticket. Not only so,
but they deal only with the cor
rup and purchasable element of the
negro. They know no weapon
save bribery, fraud and force.
The Populists have NEVER at any
time or place, appointed or en-
powered any committee man or set

things have the Democrats done at
