IT Is well understood, if not actually
admitted, that Weyler is incapable of
putting down the Cuban Instruction
and is practicing the most barbarous
and blood-curdling crimes upon the un-
fortunates who, BY chance, fall into his
clutches. Yet. congress keeps itself
busy with everything foreign to the
vital issue. and the great l Am who
occupies the white house looks on with
supreme disinterestedness and shoots
ducks while almost beneath his eyes
are Transporting crimes which would
freeze the blood of ordinary mortals.
A glorious work awaits Mckinley if
something is not done soon.

"A Revelation of the Reese Investigation !.
From the Columbus Ledger.
When the sheriff and judge of court
get to drinking together while the court
is in session-taking these gentlemen s
drinks out of pint bottle--the people
are more than likely to suffer. The ex
animation of witnesses in the REESE case
reveals such a case of affairs. Ought not
such thing be stopped?

THE recent rise III the price of cotton
creates suspicion that that same oil d
bait which has so long been thrown out
to farmers about this time every year is
being offered them again by the spec
ulators who depend upon the staple for
a basis for their gambling operations.
Heretofore farmers have blindly taken
the bait and have been as surely land
ed high and dry when marketing time
came of any profits from their farm
ing operations. viii they do so this
year?

A DOWN-EAsT editor controls his ex-
element long enough to impart the
information that when Congressman
Dingley of Maine graduated from col
lego he wore pair of trousers made
by Levi P. Morton, then a fashionable
tailor and since vice-president of the
United States. The sight of a taiIor's
goose with this Renaissance attached
would now give Levi and his entire
family case of cholera morbus.
GOVERNOR ADAMS of Colorado be-

 The Adams Digaines Rediscovered.
 The famous Adams diggings. which by some are considered myth, as most of the so called lost mines are. but by very many others are thought to be a reality, are once more to the front. The Tucson Citizen was the first to discover their re-discovery and now comes the Phoenix Republican with an interview with B gentleman from the northern part of the territory, who says that beyond all doubt the Adams diggings, with all their tabu- lous wealth, have at last been re- located. While I was engaged in prospecting at Saunders and in that vicinity" said he, q was joined one evening by three miners who had just returned from the Navajo reservation, where they had journeyed on pros pecting tour. They were very secre- tive and had little to say at first, but finally, in the course Of the conversa- tion, by picking up point here and a point there, was enabled to gather sufficient information to confront them with my convictions. l made it no point to he backward and openly asked shem if they did not believe they had discovered the Adams diggings. Whashss 4 sas Sac bollness of my question or not, I do not know. At ay rate they told me that, while prCspectiug iu the northeast corner of the reservation, very near the line between ns and New Mexico, they had come upon the remains of an old claim and of utensils that evidently belonged to some prospector. Here they camped for the night, and the next morning, while foraging for their horses, they had been impressed with the character of the rock and had proceeded to in- vestigate it. They were upon the verge of pronouncing it worthless, when one of the men who had been washing out gravel near the mouth of 8 rugged canyon, discovered gold. In less than three hours, six ounces had been secured, and the men were pre- pairing to begin developing upon large scale, when they were surprised at the appearance of a body of Indians, who cautioned them to proceed no fur ther, and ordered them to leave the spot, limiting that refusal would mean loss of life. "There was nothing for us, said the men, "but to obey the orders,r and the Indians followed them until Fort Defiance was in sight. In proof of heirassertions, they displayed the gold From Fort Defiance they made their way to Saunders, where they cautiously told their story. When last I saw or heard of them they were preparing to return to the spot. They were positive that the lost diggiEgs had been found again and were de- termined to investigate the field"
