The slave Of any despot foul;
sS The world q Maceo brought forth,
8s Ofdusky face, but sterling worth.
N Though thrice ten times his patriot corps
Around him rise on Q, cry side;
Though trochss run from shore to shore,
as From northern cliils to Southern tide:
SssS Undanted Still the leader true
D sHance hurls at Spain's base crew.
Oh, craven act Of coward foe.
Who trambled while they hedged him round
IN And ahrank to strik manly blow;
For gold traitor base Was found,
TO sknlk where brake aud bramble grew,
And do the deed they dare not do.
a million swords are flashing bare,
TO avenge the hero basely slain;
million freemen burn 10 share
Tho perils OF the Spanish main.
a And hurl the bloody pirate host,
From OF fair Cuba's beauteous coast.
4 Columbia, why this sluggard pace.
When freedom trembles in the scale:
\ Degenerate sons OF noble race.
Unstop your ears; hear Cuba's wall;
n Arouse and sweep the Antilles.
And bring the despot to his knees.
1 Ring alarm bells throughout tbs land.
Call freedoms minute men once more
Let Marion sons and Sumter's band
Bids rifles roll and cannons roar,
& Till Cuba Libre greets the world,
Her Alag to every breeze nnfurled.

needed protection on wool. the sup
position being that the election OF
Bryan meant a premium of fifty per
cent. or more upon gold. which would
be equivalent to that much tariff
protection as duties and the cost OF
importing would be payable in gold.
But they remembered tina MI. Bryan

Woolgrowers stood steadfastly by

this does not apply to the eastern

While our present legislature is
giving attention to the disburse-
mcnts of the state il should either
cut off the position of state examiner
or adopt means by which the gentle
men who draws $4,000 will he obliged
to do his duty. 1t is noted that
many of the state papers demand
that this office lie abolished and if
the experience Of other counties he
similar to that of Fergus, the de-
mand is entirely within reason. The
law under which the present eNami-
ncr was appointed requires him to
examine at least once every year the
books of account of every county
officer as well as state officers and
banking institutions. I'm thesummer
uf lSg5 the state examiner prescribed
the forms to lie used i'm the several
counties as required 10y law and in
December al the same yearhis deputy
visited this county, hut pleading
rush OF business, made but a cursory
examination of the finances of the
county. The past year, however,
neither the chief nor his deputy was
seen within our borders and we are
not, therefore, unfair in saying that
the officer has been OF little or no
practical benefit TO Fergus county.
The theory of the office is ali light,
hut the practice is horrible.

Saloonist Must Obtain Fresh Petitions
Every Year.
DIES MONIES, April ga very impor-
tant decision was handed down in the
district court by Judge Holmes, constru-
ing an important point of the mulct
law. John Weber's saloon was closed
because some Of the property owners
within 80 feet of his premises withdrew
their consent to the operation of the es.
tablishment. Weber appealed to the
courts and the decision of the court is
against him. The court holds that IN
der the mulct law a saloonkeeper must
each year secure a new petition Of con-
sent from all property holders within 90
feet; that he must annually secure O
new resolution Of consent from the city
council and new bond. The court
hands down long opinion on the mat
ter. 1t win affect every saloon in the
state, if sustained, as lawyers say it will
be. twill be appealed without delay.
