THE HEATHEN.
With Apologies to Rudyard KipIing.

With Apologies to Rudyard KipIing.
The heather in his folly eats anything
that's good,
He doesn't try to choose the food that Sci
ence says he should;
He dies, gray-haired and weary, at four
score years and ten,
And what most Sorely VeXes him is that
he can't eat then.
Keep away from pickles, keep away
from spice,
Keep away from cabba ge, cornt!eld
peas and rice.
Never eat thing that's sweet, and
always eat it cold,
And thus you'll save your intellect
from growing stale and old.
The heather has three meals day and
sometimes one at night,
He thinks his early breakfast to be his in
born right;
He rises in the morning and hears his
hunger call
He never heard that science proves 1t
isn't there at all
Keep away from breakfast keep away
from tea
Keep away from lunches, wherever
they may be.
Never let your midday meal be either
large OF FlCn,
And every morsel you may take, be
careful which is which.
The heather drinks the water that bub-
bles from the spring,
He thinks that If II slakes his thirst II is
the very thing:
He'll kiss his sweetheart on the lips in
stead of on the chin,
And not suspect that he commits a scien-
tiic sin.
Keep away from pollywoss, angie
worms and flies,
Keep away from insects of every sort
and size.
Never breathe a microbe in unless you
you cough him out.
For he may have the chicken-pox the
measles and the gout.
The heather nils his system with deadly
drugs and weeds,
He works until he's tired and rests more
than he needs
He sets his brain in action when it should
be in repose,
And then he adds dyspepsia to his many
other woes
Keep away from appetite, keep away
from thirst
These Of all the foes on earth to sci
ence are the worst.
Keep away from exercise, keep away
from thought,
And you will hve until you die II
you're not sooner caught.

THE KLONDlKE GOLD BUG.
Editorials and News.

We feel that we owe the readers of
this weeks Bug" an apology for print
ing the paper on the inside of dusty flour
sacks. But the fault is not ours. We
ordered from Sitka in plenty of
time a consignment of our usual rag
fibre, but when it reached the local Of
flee of the Aurora Borealis express COM
pany the pie-faced gyasticus who runs
that awful example of cold-blooded mon
opoly refused to surrender 1t to us be-
cause he said we owed him for the eX-
pressage on the last lot. We deny the
imputation and defy the imputator. The
fact is that if accounts were squared
for all the CUFF which the Bug" has
hitherto printed about the Aurora Bore
alis people, their debt to us couldn't be
paid with the seasons cleanup of half a
dozen claims. But wait, Willie. wait un-
til the bug" slops over on em again.
Ike Henwood visited our office last
Tuesday and informed us that he pro-
posed to enter the push for sheriff. Ike
brought a couple of antediluvian cigars
and suggested that we accompany him
to Skaters and hape a nip at that new
consignment of forty-rod which came
last Thursday to gladden. the epiglottis
of the faithful. But we were onto Ike.
We refused the invitation to drink and
gave the cigars to our landlords con-
sumptive nephew. The terms for politi-
cal booming in the bug" are strictly
spot cash, antied up in advance, with a
unprecedented paper giving us a grub
stake in the earnings of the office.

Cuba's Next President.

It is apparently already assured that
in the election in Cuba today of
a successor to President Cisneros the
choice will fall upon Bartolome Maso.
Maso is a Spaniard in descent; that
is his ancestors came from Spain and
he himself received his education in
Paris and Seville. But he is described
as resolute and uncompromising ad-
vocate of Cuban independence, so firm
in this belief that when, at the be-
ginning of the present insurrection a
deputation of Cuban autonomists from
Havana waited upon him and urged
him to cast his lot in favor of admin
istrative reforms rather than war; he
listened patiently to what his visitors
had to say and then informed them
that while they were at that time free
to return in peace, the next time they
attempted to seduce him from 10y
atty to his oath as generalin the army
of liberation he would treat them as
spies and give orders for their prompt
execution.
A writer in the Sun, speaking from
personal acquaintance with the man.
says that should Maso succeed to the
presidency of the Cuban republic there
would be no possibility of a comoro-
mise with Spanish arms. Under
his administration there can be
no home rule, no autonomy, no
peace until the monarchical emblem Of
red and yellow is forever banished
from the island of Cuba. There is no
vacillation, no halfway measure, IN
Maso's composition. During the
doubtful period of 1880 to 1890, when.
discouraged by the failure of what was
known as the little war; most Gu
bans lost hope and seemed to be in
doubt as to what step would be for
the best, Maso alone stood out for
absolute independence. There is no
other way out of the difficulty he
said. We must either be free men or
be slaves. Spain will permit no Gu
ban to be anything but a taX-paying
serf. If we would have self-respect.
we must nave independence. This
Spain will never give until compelled
to. II we cannot enjoy freedom our
selves, let us fight and win 1t for our
children. To me the very thought of
autonomy under the Spanish flag is
degradation and disgrace. Rather
than submit to IL / would go to the
mountains and live the life of a her
NIT There might be free to think
without paying tribute to spain.'"
Maso, this writer continues, "is a
great admirer of the United States. 4
have studied your republic carefully,
he once said to an American visitor.
4 have great confidence in your people
and in your institutions, but still do
not understand them Your govern
ment is supposed to represent the peo-
pie. 1t is selected and placed in pow
er to carry out their will. and yet
this it so often seems to fail to do.

The nomination yesterday of Hon.
Seth Low for mayor of Greater New
York, by a group of citizens acting in
dependently and declining to enter into
any agreement looking to the union of
all the elements opposed to Tammany,
will in all probability precipitate a
three -cornered fight, in which the worst
element will win. That is the way
such fights usually terminate. Hatred
for Platt appears to weigh more heav-
lily on the Mugwump mind than con-
cern for consequences. But it was ever
thus.

welfare of the nation. To me they
seem rather to be trying to see how
few promises they may fulfill and still
remain in office. 1 trust the United
States Ohe people), and l do not trust
her. That is, put but little faith in
the party pledges and administrative
promises which are so often held out
to Cuba. Your congressional resolu
tions and legislative expressions of
sympathy have many times raised
great hopes in our breasts, but the
irresponsive and to us cruel indiffer-
ence of your administration has put
an end to such thought long ago. We
feel that from the United States, at
least, we are entitled to the recog-
milton of belligerency. We will be
grateful If 1t ever comes, but we have
ceased to expect it. The single star
of our flag is emblematlcal of our fate.
We have got to fight our battle for
freedom alone. This century seems too
busy to furnish us with Lafayette.
But, what is it you say in English?
We will get there just the same"
Such feeling toward the United
States Is natural from a Cuban stand
point. 1t cannot be held by any dis
passionate student of our attitude to-
ward the two Instructions in Cuba
that we have acted toward the insur-
gents as from our own historical an
tecedents they had a right to expect.
But If we have moved deliberately
and without that impulsiveness which
is so Characteristic of America
the progress of Americans in practical
sympathy for the Cubans in revolt has
not been inconsiderable. 1t may be
doubted If the present insurrection
could last two weeks were all aid
from the United States cut off. The
siowness of our government in moving
toward a final adjustment of the Gu
ban situation is difficult to defend but
if the present administration shall
eventually fulfil the expectations of it's
friends the words of Shakespeare will
apply: "All's we'll that ends WELL"

THE FARMERS YEAR.
From the Philadelphia Times.

This is beyond doubt the farmers year.
With a wheat crop worth not less than
$500, 100000, corn crop worth $720, 900, 900,
cotton that will sell for $500, ,OOO, 200, oats
worth 500, 100000 rye and barley adding
100000 more to these figures, making d
grand total of two billions, with hay,
eggs, fruits, vegetables and dairy and
meat products yet to be heard from, there
will be small chance for raising a calam-
ity cry this year in the agricultural sec
tions. These figures, showing only in part
the enormous value of the agricultural
products of the country, indicate that the
real Klondike of the United States is to
be sought in tilling it's fertile acres.

Prices are thus nearly back to the
point ruling prior to the panic and the
free wool enactment and are still ad-
vancing. They are close to the i'm
porting point under the high tariff, and
there is talk of further outside pur-
chases and importations. Indeed,
American buyers will attend the Lon
don wool sales in September, and this
in face of the fact, as generally ad-
mitted, that the country had loaded up
with a two-years' supply of foreign
woods prior to the passage of the tariff
bill"

to reflect the prosperous conditions of

necessary for the merchants of Scran-

medium by the results which follow its
intelligent use.

A GRAND Rapids dispatch to the
free-silver- free trade Detroit News
says: 1.-THE July furniture season,
which usually draws to close at this
time, bids fair to last to August.
There have been more sales than any
time since 1892. About 400 buyers
are here" The much ridiculed "con.
fdence" and "prosperity" seem to
have reached Grand Rapids furniture
interests, according to the highest OF
popocratic authority. 1t is evident
that the calamity howlers will have
to find some new field for the exer.
else of their populism, as American
industries are rapidly getting into
active operation.

CouNr Matsukata, the Japanese

COUNT Matsukata, the japanese
premier, has given the silver states
men of the United states great deal
of trouble by his speech before the
Japanese diet, in which he urged the
adoption of the gold standard in his
country, which the silverites had year
after year held up as the most pros
porous country in the east, and most
prosperous because of its silver stand
ard. Count Matsukata's speech has
been published by the state depart
ment, and by order of the senate, and
the silver people are now spending a
good deal of time in trying to devise
an excuse or explanation for this
action, though the stubborn fact that
the action was taken, and that after
the most careful consideration, makes
all their attempts at explanation val
ueless.

THE religious (D editor of the De-
troit Tribune has great head on his
shoulders. In his latest religious
screed, which is of the same caliber
as previous religious articles from the
same source, he demonstrates-to his
own satisfaction, evidently-that the
christian endeavorers are set OF
idolaters. He would better confine
himself to editorials on beer, with
which, judging from his writings, he
is much more familiar than he is with
christianity. We venture the opin-
ion that he patronizes the saloon
more frequently than he does the
church.

THE coal miners strikes are the
only clouds Dun's Review could see
last week on the industrial horizon,
and the prospect is bright for an
amicable settlement of these difficult

more ready to accept Dun's report OF
general business conditions than they
will to believe the calamity rantings
of the free silver press.

not be far distant when people will
be compelled to undergo periodical
inspections of their entire personal
apparel at the hands OF any self aps
pointed union labor committee and TO
discard all garments that do not meet
its approval. 1t is such unwarranted
interference with the rights of others
that deprives organized labor of a
large degree of public approval and
public sympathy which it would
otherwise receive. However, trades
unions donot yet own the entire earth,
although the manifestoes of such men
as Debs and other equally heavy
weight labor leaders would indicate
that they claimed proprietorship over
portion Of it. 1t has been most un.
fortunate for organized labor that it
has had so many fool leaders.
