Cuba.

The Presidents enunciations on
the Cuban question are clear,
broad and statesmanlike as are his
enunciations upon the currency
and other questions handled in his
notable message to Congress. His
utterances CONTAIN no uncertain
sound. His position has been con-
sentative and he is so yet, but the
words with which he concludes
his discussion of the Cuban ques-
ton indicate that the government
will not hesitate to take firm and
decided ground when the necessity
arises.
He concludes thus:
The near future will demonstrate
whether the indispensable condition OF
righteous peace just alike to the Cubans
and to Spain as well as equitable to all our
interests so intimately involved in the well
fare Of Cuba. is likely TO be attained. If
not. the exigency of further and other ac-
ton by the United States will remain to
be taken. When that time comes that &C
ton will be determined in the light OF in
disputable right and duty. 1t will be
faced, without missiving or hesitancy. in
the light Of the obligation this govern
ment owes To itself and the people who
have confided to it the protection of their
interests and honor and to humanity"

Tobacco was not the only record

That old product Of the farm,

possess a commercial value, the
cornstalk, was also very much in
evidence in the city. Long before
day the wagons loaded with stalks
began to pour into the city for de-
livery to the cellulose factory, and
by the time the cellulose people
were ready to begin receiving the
wagons were thick all around the
yards. They were unloaded as
fast as full force OF hands, aided
by the farmers could do SO, and
1 81 wagons were relieved OF their
burdens, while II were left on the
yards at dark unloaded, making a
total Of ia, the greatest here on
any day since the cellulose factory
began operations. At any hour

could be seen wagons loaded with
cornstalks en- route to the factory.
Mr.. Henry Wagner, who lives
near the city on Wednesday fin
ished delivering his crop OF stalks,
and it brought him $3.50.
Not only was Wednesday the
record breaker for constalk deliv-
eries, but the biggest single load
ever delivered came in on that day.
The wagon and stalks weighed
8, 900 pounds, and there were three
tons OF the stalks, which was all

to the kind donors who are not

offerings were prompted by their
well merited esteem for Father
Coenen; but it was also an act OF
kindness to me, by me all the more

forward and shake hands with the
Father; there were several oil the
veterans present, after them the
gentlemen and many of the ladies
came forward and shook hands
with the Father. This was followed
by glowing and pleasant speech
by our honorable mayor, Mr.. Burr,
which proved decided chit" and
showed his broadness of mind and
noble character as we'll as his force
and eloquence by his kind mani
festations of good cheer and warm
fellowship and encomiums of praise
to our dear. Holy Mother, the
Church. The mayor is, to say the
least, warm hearted, excellent
gentleman.
After the mayors speech the
programme was continued. con-
sisting of several songs with piano
accompaniment, and several pieces
by Prof. Phatenhauer's brass band.
The "Old Kentucky Home" rem
dered by the singers, accompanied
by some of the band instruments,
and joined in by the Rev. Father
Valentine with his fine soprano
voice, was grand and impressive,
and calculated to make the bond of
fellowship among us healthy and
strong.
The singers and the band boys,
and also the honorable mayor and
wife and daughter were invited to
the pastors residence where re-
freshments were served, but the
mayor having an engagement was
excused. So ended the happy &C.
casion, all feeling we'll pleased with
the blending of good fellowship.
The Rev. Father Coenen has al
ways shown a love for his people
and an excellent judgment and
taste IN providing innocent pleas
ure, and grand and noble instruc-
tons for us in selecting grand,
noble and holy men to lecture and
give missions to us for our guild
ance and in the Rev. Father
Valentine, as we'll as his other Sc
lections, has found one who has
done much good in our midst and
carries with him the sincere love
of the congregation. May the
choicest blessings of our dear Lord
ever accompany him.
