The CUBAN WAR.-Cuba and Porto
Rico might have been free when all
the rest of the Spanish possessions
won their liberty, had it not been for
the fact that, when the instructions
broke out in Mexico and the provinces
of Central and South America, 30
many refugees fled from the continent
to the island that they outnumbered
the native population, and thus held
the Queen of the Antilles for Spain.
Since 1920 there has not been decade
in which an insurrection, great or
small, did not break out in one island
or the other; but, in spite of their
wrongs, the Spanish government has
persisted in regarding both islands
simply as sponges, to be squeezed as
dry as possible. Taxation in Cuba
and Porto Rice is frightful to those
accustomed to the American system,
while in Cuba especially the oppression
of the native population has been con-
tinual and severe. Cubans were not
allowed to hold Office, every place OF
responsibility on the island was filled
by Spaniards and the struggle for Gu
ban independence therefore assumes
phase similar to that of the American
Revolution, a fight for the principle,

RATIONAL FARMING METHODS
The Texas Cotton Growers Associa-
ton has adopted an address calling on
the cotton raisers of the state to de-
vote their time and energies and land
to producing those products used at
home first, and to raise all the cotton
they can, after those primarily wants
are provided for. The address gives
evidence that the farmers there have
turned their attention to rational
methods of improving their condition,
instead of wasting time on vague, So
called reforms, which are impossible,
to begin with, and would be Intellectual
if they could be adopted. The only
way for the farmer to prosper, as in
dustries are at present constituted, is
to produce all of his living necessities,
as far as possible, at home, 30 that the
proceeds of the sale of his staple crops
will be almost clear profit. There is a
double advantage in this method. IL
will enable him to live we'll on a smaller
money outlay, and by reducing the
production of staple products it will
result in an increase in the value of
these crops, so that he will get larger
money return from a reduced area of
cultivated land than he now gets from
Shaving to produce great crops which
necessarily sell at low prices.

THE HOLDING UP OF OVERLAND NO. s.

THE HOLDING UP OF OVERLAND NO. ..
On the third day dispatch came
from Frederic Cullen telling his father
he would join us at Lamy on No. 8 that
evening. I at once ordered 81 and 218
OH to the connecting train, and in an
hour we were back ON the main line.
While waiting for the overland to ar
rive, Mr.. Cullen asked me to do some
thing which, as it later proved to have
considerable bearing on the events OF
that night, is worth mentioning, trivial
as it seems. When I had first Joined
the party, had given orders for 81 to
be kicked in between the main string
and their special, SO as not to deprive
she occupants Of 218 of the view from
Sheir observation saloon and balcony
platform. Mr.. Cullen came to me now
and asked me to reverse the arrange.
ment and make my cur the tail end. l
was giving orders for the splitting and
kicking in when No. 8 arrived, and
thus did not see the greeting of Frederic
Cullen and his family. When I joined
them, his father told me that the high
altitude had knocked his son up, so that
he had had to be helped from the or
dinary sleeper to the special and had
gone to bed Immediately. Out west we
have to know something Of medicine,
and my car had it's chest Of drugs. SO l

HAS No CoMMIssIoN.-The presi-
dent of the United States has no COM
mission, no certificate of election, not
the scratch of pen in his possession,
to indicate that he has been elected or
that he legally holds the office. The
count of the electoral vote is during
the Joint session of the senate and
house, the announcement is made by
the presiding officers of the result,
and, according to the latest statute on
the subject, "This announcement shall
be deemed sufficient qualification"
No committee is appointed to wait
upon the president elect, no messen-
ger is dispatched to him with notice of
the result, and unless he reads the
newspapers, or is told by some of his
friends, he will remain in ignorance.
1t is considered by some to be
curious omission on the part of the
trainers of the law, but it has never
vet given any inconvenience and it is
not propable that it ever will.-Globe-

HOW THE SOUTH FARES.

Republicans Only Legislate For the Ben
eft of the North.
From The Atlanta Journal.
The efforts to have duty placed on
Egyptian cotton have failed, as we ex-
pected they would. The farmers OF
the south were not considered by the
farmers of the tariff except to be load
ed with heavier taxes. The Boston
Herald says:
"Mr. Dingley anG his co-workers on
the tariff bill have refused to put q
duty on raw cotton. This looks as if
they had fear that such a duty might
really operate for protection. If it
were not 80, we do not see why they
should decline to give it a place with
other products of the soil, of which
there are so many with tariff duties
only nominal. 1t would not have in
jured anybody, and it would have
placated those people of the south
who it has been said, are inclining to.
ward protection. On the other hand,
if it was likely to be operative in keep
ing out cotton, why it may be asked,
was it not fair to grant the duty
Cotton ties and cotton bagging are sub
ject to duty, why not, in equity, put
cotton itself in the same class? Per-
haps it was because cotton was not an
infant industry, but infants are very
apt to grow backward under modern
tariff ideas"
According to Dingley and the other
Republican tariff thinkers, it was nec-
essary to tax cotton ties and cotton
baggiDg, thereby increasing their cost
to the cotton producer, but foreign
cotton must be permitted to come in
free and beat down the price of similar
grades raised in this country. AS was
brutally said by one of the advocates
of this outrageous tariff bill: "If the
farmers of the south want anything
they raise protected, why don't they
vote the Republican ticket?" The
protectionist theory is that favors in
the tariff must be given only to those
who pay for them in one way or
another.

p@ All the Indian tribes had rain
makers, and some are yet left. This
is one of their methods of operation
A large body of Creek Indians had
gathered, all decked out in their best
finery. Two elderly men retired a
short distance, and seemed to be num-
bling to each other something like
prayers or invocations after some time
a fire was made on the bank of the
stream, when the two rain makers
gave an order, and a young man
plunged into the river, which was
there very deep. When he came up,
he had blue catfish in his hand,
which one of the old men took and
threw into the fire, the tribe looking
on in perfect silence. Then there was
more mumbling, accompanied by var
ious contortions and gesticulations,
then the gathering dispersed. 1t rain

The guard interrupted by telling her
it wasn't permitted to speak to the con-
victs while out of bounds, and 80 we
had to ride on. All Miss Cullen was
able to do was to throw him little
bunch Of flowers she had gathered in
the mountains. It was literally casting
pearls before swine, for the fellow did
not seem particularly pleased, and
when, late that night, I walked down
there with lantern found the flowers
lying in the ditch. The experience
seemed to sadden and distress Miss Cul-
len very much for the rest Of the after
noon, and I kicked myself for having
called her attention to the brute and

YORKVILLE, O.. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 81 1897.

Miss Cullen, for by that time I had
come to the conclusion that I had never
met sweeter or jollier girl Her beauty,
too was Of a kind that kept growing on
one, and before I had known her "a
hours, without quite being in love with
her, I was beginning to hate Lord
Rallies, which was about the same
thing, I suppose. Every hour convinced
me that the two understood each other,
not merely from the little asides and
condolences they kept exchanging, but
even more so from the way Miss Cullen
would take his lordship down occasion
ally. Yet, like fool, the more I saw to
confirm my first diagnosis the more /
found myself dwelling on the dimples
at the corners Of Miss Cullen's mouth,
the bewitching uplift Of her upper lip,
the runaway curls about her neck and
the curves and color Of her cheeks.
Half day served to see everything
in Santa Fe worth looking at, but Mr..
Cullen decided to spend there the time
they had to wait for his other son to
join the party. To pass the hours 1
hunted up some ponies, and we spent
three days in long rides up the old Santa
Fe trail and to the outlying mountains.
Only one incident was other than pleas
ant, and that was my fault AS we were
riding back 10 our cars on the second
afternoon we had to cross the branch
roadbed, where gang happened to be
at work tamping the ties.
"Since you're interested in road
agents, Miss Cullen, said, "you may
like to SEQ one. That fellow standing
in the ditch is Jack Drute, who was
concerned in the D. and R. @. hold up
three years ago"
Miss Cullen looked where pointed,
and, seeing man with gun, gave a
startled jump and pulled up her pony,
evidently supposing that we were about
to be attacked. "Shan't we run?" she
began, but then checked herself as she
