Cuban's Views OF Miss BnrtOn's Pro.
posed Mission to the leland.
ut seems incredible that Miss Barton
should fall into cunning trap errangI
for her by Spanish Minister de LONE"
said Col. FREDERICK Perez Carlo, chief Of
Gen. Maceo's staff, commenting on Miss
Barton's acceptance OF the permission
given her by De LONE to 50 to Cuba and
form a Rcd Cross society. -
Miss Barton will he allowed to succor
Spaniards. but Cubans never. Miss Barton
may go TO Havana that is just what they
want-and she may help the Spaniards in
their hospitals and care for their wounded;
hut ss to Cubans, why, the Spaniards raid
their hospitals and kill all the helpless in
mates. Miss Barton will lind that she will
be permitted to aid the Spanish only. The
inhumanity of the Spaniards has been
shown when they refused to let medicine Of
any kind be carried into the country fol
pacifcos, and kill men who attempt to
smuggle such things through.
"'Let them die like dogs is what one
Spanish officer told q surgeon when he
wanted to give attention to some Cuban
wounded, after the fight at La Encaration.
Let them die like the dogs they are. 1t
will only make it easier for us
miss Barton had better see that her per-
mission is more broad before she goes
over"

Canadian View OF the Depression n
the United States.

Canadian View OF tho Depression In
the United States.
Hon. c. C. Colby, ex-Canadian cabinet
minister, who has returned to Montreal
from an extensive trip through the United
States, says that the effectiveness of the
United States national bank system is re-
sponsible for much Of the depression that
has been noticeable Of late. The system
does not meet the present requirements,
the banks being precluded from giving
necessary accommodations to move crops,
ETC., hence the many failures that have
been exploited. The silver agitation was
the outcome Of lack of banking facilities
for the adequate needs of the country. He
says he has information that Mckinley
has given carte blanche to Chicago
banker to prepare scheme which, If ac-
ceptabIe, will be worked out by the secre-
tary Of the treasury and submitted to con
gress. He believes the Canadian system of
banks with large capital and branches in
the different centers of tho country, and
power to issue currency guaranteed by the
government, will, to certain extent, be
followed.

Affairs OF Col. CARPENTER.

The dispatches sent out from Pierre con-
terning the affairs of Col. Carpenter OF
WATERFOWL, quartermaster general Of
South Dakota, appear to have been mixed
and to have done Mr.. Carpenter an injus-
tice. There has been no protest from Col.
Carpenter or his bondsmen to the proposed
legislation abolishng the Office or remov-
ing the officer. Col. Carpenters friends are
indignant and declare he has been careful
and efficient officer: that he has not been
an extravaganza or highly paid officer his
report shows, and that taking care of $780,
900 worth of property throughout the state
pnd receiving about $500 year is not
q very high salary, but exceedingly
low. AS to Col. Carpenters letter to Gov.
Lee, the Pierre correspondents have stated
something which is not true, because no
such letter has been written by Col.
Carpenter. AS to the bonds he has taken
as quartermaster, it is declared they are
now and were all good and sufficient in
every respect at the time OF taking and APP
proval. The quartermaster general holds
bonds from every person having govern.
ment stores in his charge, and every item
not issued in compliance with law he can
ccOunt for.

DAD ron MILL WORKERS.

German Cloth Manufacturers De.
eide to Pattern After England.
A pitiful story for the ear Of mill
worker is that told by United States Com
sui Monogan ut Chemnitx In the course Of
4 report to the state department upon the
struggle for supremacy by German weav-
ers. He says that In seeking reason for
loss to England of American and other
markets for textiles the German manufac-
tuers believe they have found it in the
fact that In England . mill hand
tends two looms while In Germany he
tends one. Hence the word has gone out
that the English practice is to prevail in
Germany. The mill hands are in despair
and in vain have urged that the heavy
extra work Will break them down physi-
cally at 40 years Of age; that their eyes will
wear out; that half of their number will be
thrown out of employment without know
ing another way to earn livelihood. The
new order will 90 into effect. The
manufacturers find that il they are to hold
their own they must do as England does.
It is part Of the fight for life, says the
consul, which, after all, foolish as it may
seem, Is fight to be first defined.

plagiarism was evident in several of the
passages in Miss Hyde's grafton. The
grafton has been thoroughly examined by
competent judges, who have failed to find
anything of that nature therein. In one or
two instances there is marked similarity
OF thought with other authors. but the idea
OF plagiarism is not sustained. Miss Hyde

Money Enectually Eidden.

Where did Paul Narcelle bury his money ?
From all accounts he died worth from $685.
600 to $4,000. Narcelle was the first white
settler in South Dakota. He came to the
territory in 1S40 as an employe OF the Hud-
Son Bay Company, married squaw and
settled on the Cheyenne River. fifty miles
from Pierre. He lived there until his
Heath. His custom Of cacheing his money
where no one but himself could find it was
known for years and caused his sons, Mar
cisse and Ed, the keenest annoyance. The
old man refused to bank it, however, and
invariably succeeded in eluding his pur-
suers whenever an attempt was made to
follow him to any of his various places Of
concealment. His farm will be thoroughly
dug over, but with small hope that more
than fraction of his large fortune will
ever be located.
