ALLIANCE, OHIO, JAN 7, 1897.
Hon. Nathan Hoii0Way, President
Bryan Free Sitter ClH6, Canton, ohio!
DEAR SIR:-I regret to have to say
that l am suffering from very severe
cold, which affects my throat and lungs,
and makes it impossible for me to be
present at the banquet given by your
Club this evening, end to respond to the
toast assigned me.
am much disappointed in being pre-
vented from participating in the intel
lectual treat you have provided for this
occasion. / have heretofore had the
felicity of attending banquets made joy
Gus by the happy thoughts and senti-
ments expressed by several of the speak
ers whose names appear in the list you
have provided for this evening, and |
therefore feel that my inability to sit at
your festal board tonight will deprive
me of much enjoyment. But my heart
will be with you, and trust that the re-
SDOnSGS IldUC " lllS VI thN NNNi
ing will arouse new hopes and new in
spirations that will stir the hearts oi
men to greater effort in the cause oi
liberty and humanity.
The Persians had custom that when
a judge violated liberty or the laws OF
the land by his acts on the bench, they
Aayed him alive, and with his skin
formed seat for his son, who was his
successor, that they might deter him
from following in the way of his father
Such a remedy may be too harsh foi
the nineteenth century, but it would be
an efectual estoppel to government by
iniunction--a form of judicature now in
vogue, which, if it be continued, will
destroy the liberty of our country by re
moving the keystone of the arch"-
trial by jury.
Yours fraternally,

TERMS OF PEACE.

General Maximo Gomez seems to be
willing to treat with the Spaniards to
settle the Cuban question. He is said to
be willing to make concessions, the
United Stats s to guarantee the following
provisions of the treaty:
First-The recall of General Weyler.
Restriction of the present al.
most autocratic power of the governor
generals sent by Spain to rule in Cuba.
Third-Election of all mayors and
municipal officers on the island by the
people by popular vote.
Fourth-A new postal system.
Fifth-A new system of internal taxa
ton, the money derived from internal
taxes to be spent, within reasonable
limits, in Cuba and for the benefit of the
people. An abatement of tariff taxes,
especially in the case of -four, for which
Cuba is dependent upon the United
States, with provision for freer CONNER
cial intercourse with the United States.
Sixth-An increase in the Cuban rep
resentation in the Spanish cortes (Con'
gress) commensurate with the popula'
ton, wealth and revenues supplied by
the island.
Seventh-An embodiment of these
concessions in the form of treaty with
the United States government as @
guarantee that they will be carried ouI
after the insurgents lay down their arms
This simplhes the Cuban muddle, and
will not only end the war but put a stor
to iingoism which has broken out among
people who wouldn't fight if war should
come to the United States. I.

The peculiar malady seizes a whole

WAsiHNGToN, Jan. 2l.-The conferees
of the two houses on the immigration
bill reached an agreement yesterday.
Many of the provisions of both the
senate and house bills were retained,
but they were modified so as to make
ia very different bill from that which
passed either house. The Lodge
educational qualification was ac-
cepted, but its application was
limited to persons between is and
90 years. The Corliss amendment
adopted by the house and rejected by
the senate was restored, but in a very
much modified form. AS originally
agreed to, the amendment made it un
lawful to employ any alien in the
United States. AS changed, the pro
hibition is less stringent and is made
to apply only to the employment o.
aliens who habitually come and go
birds of passage"

near Berry station, 40 miles west of

miles from Berry, it was halted and
the express car doors were broken

secured and the local safe quickly
opened and rifled of its contents, which
the express officials say amounted to
$3.50. There is no doubt in the minds

OKLAHOMA FRAUDS.
Three Men and Their Wives in Collusion to
Dcfraud Uncle sam.

PERRY, Ok, Jan. 22.-Frauds have
been brought to light in the United
States land office here by the arrest of
John Hulxa and Savannah Hulka, liv-
ing north of here, which implicate
three men and their wives. Hullka is
the owner of a fine body of land in Ok
lahoma, which prevented him taking
government land; SO, just before the
opening of the strip he sued his wife
for divorce and she took land on Red
Rock creek. They live together now,
although not welded, so that each can
hold land. Both were arrested for
adultery. Another case has been
brought to light at Morrison, where
Joe Durham was divorced from his
wife for the same purpose; also John
Prucha, on Black Bear creek.

That's rather indefinite"
Il know it is. / can't give you much

know myself, to tell the truth, but L
know it .js vitally important that we
should get synopsis of what the re
ports Of these young men are to be. A
company, called the London. syndicate,
has been formed in England. This
syndicate'is to acquire large number
of mines in Canada, if the accounts
given by the present owners are any
thing like correct. Two men, kenyon
and Wentworth-the first mining en-
gineer and the second an expert ac-
countant-haye been sent from London
to Canada, one 10 examine the mines,
the other to examine the books of the
various corporations. Whether the
mines are bought or not will depend a
good deal on the reports that these two
men have in their, possession The re-
ports, when published, will make big
difference, one way or the other, on the

"Delivor this as quickly as Won can- ~

Deliver this as quickly as you can"
The boy disappeared. and the result
OF his trip was soon apparent in the ar
rival of very nutty young woman in
the editorial roofs. She was dressed
ia neatly-fitting tailor-made costume,
ana was very pretty girl, who loo ked
ABOUT ~, but was, in reality, considera-
bly, older. She had large, appealing
blue eyes, with tender, trustful ex-
preston in them, which made the ordi-
nary man say: What a sweet, inno-
cent look that girl has," yet what the
young woman didn't know about New
York was not worth knowing. She
boasted that she could get state secrets
from dignified members of the cabinet,
and an ordinary senator or congress-
man she looked upon as her lawful
prey. What had been told to her in the
strictest confidence had often become
the sensation of the next day in the pa
per she represented. She wrote over a
nom de guerre, and had tried her hand
at nearly everything, She had answered
advertisements. exposed rogues and
swindlers and had gone to hotel as
chambermaid in order to write her ex q.
periences. She had been arrested and
locked up so that she might write a
three-column account for the Sunday
edition of the Argus, of "How Women
Are Treated at Police Headquarters" !"
The editor looked upon her as one of
the most valuable members of his staff,
and she was paid accordingly.
She came into the room with the self
possessed air of the owner of the build
! ing, took n seat, after nodding to the
editor, and said: "Well?"
Look here, Jennie" began that aus
tere individual, do you wish to make a
trip to Europe?"
That depends" said Miss Jennie;
this is not just the time of year that
people go to Europe for pleasure, you

We'll, this is not exactly a pleasure
trip. The truth of the matter is Rivers

fearfully, besides nearly getting him
self arrested"
The young woman's eyes twinliled.
She liked anything with spice of dan
ger in it, and did not object to hear that
she was expected to succeed where a
mere masculine reporter had failed.
The editor continued:
