$. II. COOPER LOOK
ING AFTER HIS DISTRICT.
He Invites other Texas Members to
Trip of Inspection of Sa-
bine Pass.

Congressman S. Is. Cooper of the East
Texas district, whose voting place is ut
Woodyile. was in the city yesterday. ana
while enjoying an after dinner siesta at
the Hutchns was captured by Il Post re-
porter, who, upon inquiring the object Of
his visit discovered that Mir. Cooper, as
usual was on the alert In the interest @.
The district he represents in congress
Il have" said be, invited Senators
Mills ard Chiffon and congressman Sayers
and BAH to meet Inc Monday at Orange.
where we will take a steamboat ana 80
down the river out into the pass, and after
examining the government Jetties VIII re-
turn the same day ana accept sucn hospl-
tally as the good people OF Orange VIII
provide.
Il want the Texas delegation, or as
many of them as | can get together, 70
thoroughly understand the situation at
Sabine, which knowledge can be best aa-
CURED by a personal inspection OF the con-
ditions as they exist there.
For the better Improvement of tho
Sabine harbcr the distractions must be re-
moved at tie mouth of the river ana az
Blue Buck point In the lake this side OF
the Pass
1--WE also want ship channel from the
Pass to the mouths OF the two rivers the
Sabine and the Neches both OF which
streams have depth Of from thirty to
sixty feet of water TO distance ot IRON
seventy five to 100 miles from their out
let's.
II further hope that the inspection Of
the situation at Sabine Will convince tho
other members OF congress, as am already
convinced. that 1t is tho only point on the
gulf coasl line between New Orleans ana
Brownsville. where navy yard ana dry
dock may be located with perfect safety
from the destruction Of the long range
guns now being introduced into naval war
fare"
How does the result OF the recent cleo
lions please youf" was asked the con-
gresham after he had concluded his en-
thusiastc discourse upon the advantages OF
the harbor in his district.
~ am very much gratified at the result,
particularly at the very decided democratic
victory in New York.
THE democratic gains in Ohio are en-
couraging did not expect ohio to so
democratic, In fact l would rather prefer
Hannas election, a man held in such
thorough adherence by the democratic
party should be kept in power so that We
| can point to him as a shining mark"

The ladies of Virginia town advertis-
ed that they would wear boomers while
serving supper the other evening. The
whole town turned out, including men
who had not been to church since they
were wheeled there in baby cabs. The
ladies kept their word, but the boomers
were large red roses pinned in the usual
place. Some one was wise enough to
make all attendants pay before they en-
tered the door, and the proceeds were
enormous.

GOMEZ WRITES TO wEYLER.
A Treaty With Captain-General Absolutely
Refused by the Wiley Cuban General.

A letter written by General Gomez,
the Cuban leader, to General Weyler
has been made public. 1t is in answer to
certain propositions which have been
communicated to the former through
agents of the latter, and is refusal to
treat with Weyler on any terms. The
Cuban says:
"Instead of giving answer to your
agents | give answer to you, because you
are the real author of these cynical pro-
pOsals.
"You should remember who you are
and who | am before entertaining the
hope that [ am capable of giving up this
struggle and shamefully accepting any
kind of conditions that would mean
the continuance of Spanish power in
Cuba.
"By the will of the Cuban people l
took arms for the second time IN my
life to liberate the island, and | will
not abandon ny resolution unless it is
the will of the Cuban people that l do so.
Even If the day should come when l
should not see Q single Cuban at my side
| would not surrender to you, nor t. any
Spanish general, but would leave fOreV-
er this unhappy island.
81 am sure this will never occur. In
this glorious fight for freedom the Gu
bans are resolved rather to die in battle
than to be again the slaYes of Spaniards.
l shall make the same answer to any
other Spanish generals who make me
similar proposals.
But, with regard to you, wonder
how you dared to approach me. If you
have a conscience still YOU know that
your very name is hcrribleto the Cubans
and to any man on earth having the SEN
timents of christian. Try to crush me
with all the power of Spain you have in
your hands, continue your tiendish
work of determination against the Gu
ban people, but do not insult me, do not
insult Cuba, by believing us so debased
as to be willing to treat with you"
This remarkable letter was sent to
Sancti Spiritus by Spanish prisoner
and was received by General Weyler.
Gomez sent several copies of 1t to the
Cuban agents in that town and Havana

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates a
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DR.. Gilmer's Swamp
Root, the great liver remedy fulfills ev-
cry wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inabil-
ity to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following the
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during
thenight to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists; price fifty cents and one dollar per
bottle. For sample bottle and pam
phlet, both sent tree by mail, mention
THE DAWSON News and send your post

ADDED to the executive and judicial
announcements of an era of prosperity
we have now what Senator Vest calls an
ecclesiastical announcement of it from
Rev. Hugh Johnson of Washington,
acting chaplain of the senate, who, IN
the course of his prayer few days ago,
thanked God for the GLORIOUS era of
prosperity which is sweeping over the
country" OF course prayer should
be solemn thing, but under the cir
cumstances democratic and republican
senators were considerably amused at
the parsons extraordinary previous
ness.
