CUBA AND LIBERTY.
BY RoMIER. REAMEK.


We hail to thee, fair Gu ban isle,
The fairest Of Ire sea;
We hope to see thy flag unfurled
Aud float above the free.
Oh, NAV thy sons and daughters be
Forever with the brave,
And give their lives and fortunes 100,
Their country just to save.
And may the tyrant Weyler see
Thy flag in triumph waive,
In hoaor Of the many men,
Who died, their flag to save.
And while we cannot help you now,
Don't sink in dire despair,
But look to God IN all His love.
Aud trust Him for His care.
The same God, who helped us here,
Our liberty to gain,
Will help the struggling Cubans
70 get the same from Spain.
And when you've trium pied over all
And all your men are free,
Thank God for it. for He's the great
Author of liberty.
And if you want to join with us,
Well take you by the hand.
And merry music we will make
All in the "Union Band"

names: A. q. Dayton. b. Il. Uovener.

All are Republicans and for gold.

bowed down in abject su bserViencs
to the most cOnscienceless. the most
rapacious, the most dishonest, the
most scoundrelly association of
capitalists preying on the people
that ever cursed nation. The bill
was killed, but that does not tighten
the burden Of guilt which those
who voted for it must bear. They
are on record as supporting a meas.
ure for the spolation Of the people,
measure for the conformation Of
theft and fraud. No man could
have supported the measure with
out some disingenious motive.
Probably no man did.

The bill introduced to create n
new county from parts of Harrison.
"e'zei, Marion aud Monongalia, to
De called Augusta, has stirred nm
more ruction than anything else
yet. The people Of Warrington
are pushing the measure. as thew
are very anxious for it to pass. as
that place would be the county,
seat of the new county. but the
other counties object to being sliced
up in the manner prescribed. and
have been holding public meetings
to oppose the scheme, which is en-
slhsered by the politicians to ere.
ate lot of new offices.
I'll
The talk about the fee system is.
OF course, revived, and SEINE bills
have been introduced bearing ON
that subject. The whole system
may need reforming. but since the
Democrats have prolited by it for
long time, we ought not to blame
the other fellows for wanting to try
IL awhile, now that they are i'm
power, and this thing of wanting to
reform the other fellow just because
we can sin no more, is a little too
plous for every day use. l consider
it bad grace for the Democrats to
be raising any howl against the
fee system, just because they have
lost the Offices. Let the hungry
RAIDS have a whack at them and
let s soc for sure whether we have
lost the State for good or not. be-
fore we do away with the whole
thing. We might regret the re.
forming business some time. The
dog in the manger policy is not a
good one anyhow.

In the Senate Chamber we met
and chatted pleasantly with Col.
Richard Ellsworth Fast, of Morgan
town, the man who has cur seat in
the Senate. He is long for this
world if he should die to m orrow.
Considering bis name. his legs and
the four Thousand polls start of
US, in his favor, it is no wonder
that he got to Charleston on sched-
ule- time, while we were side
tracked and missed connections.
ont we don't care much, as we have
railroad pass anyhow. Now that
the Colonel is in the Legislature,
we think it would be good chance
for him to have his name changed,
as 1t has been serious drawback To
him trying to live up to it. How
ever, he is considerably changed
anyhow, as he is in very poor health,
and is liable TO be changed entirely
unless his health improves.
TIT
Changing the subject little, we
must not omit To mention that the
Hotel Peyton is the best place here
to stop at now. 1t used to be
called the St. Albert, but has been
entirely overhsuled, reprinted, re-
papered, refurnishe1, etc., and is
ne" opera ed by Col. George Pew
ton, who is building up a splendid
run OF custom. The rates are rea-
sonable and the feeding good. Try
1T when you go to Charleston. We
spent a week there very pleasantly,
and know whereof we write.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The selection of a county chairman, by the
Republican nominees, must be made within
ten days of the county convention, which
expires on Thursday, next. II is more than
likely that the craftsmanship will come north
Of the mountain.
Congressman Brumm was in Ashland on
| Thursday evening and had an interview
with the several candidates for postmaster at
that place. The appointment will be made
! soon Those mentioned for the position
are William Levy, r. B. Clayton and Lin
Garner. The present incumbeuts at Ire
mont and Port Carbon will also expire shortly
and their successors named.
{ Shades of departed greatness in politics
| Here is a Pottsyille paper calling the late
Bill Randall, the Democratic war horse and
long state Senator, Sammy Such is fame.
The Democratic headquarters on Monday
will be located in the Bannan building, in
the same rooms they occupied last year.
1t is said NJ. +. Doyle, of town, will be
substitute Tor Miles Brennan, of Mahanoy
Plane, as delegate to the Democratic state
convention. The latter is confined to the
house through illness.
The value Of the practical demonstration
that price does not depend on the quantity of
money but on the relation of supply and
demand, is very great for plain people whose
minds have been muddled by the confident
assertions and thimble-rigging reasoning OF
silver leaders.
T. J, Higgins, candidate for Sheriff, will
have headquarters at the Exchange Hotel,
while NJ, j. Scanlan will be found WolPs

The local politicians are already consider
ing the names of several prominent Repubi-
cans in connection with the Senatorial nom
ination nextyear. JohnJ Coyle, as a matter
Of fact, has announced himself as a candi-
date. Frank Kantner, of Lofty, is also said
| to haYe aspirations in that connection.
Among the local statesmen" the name of
ex-Councilman A. b. Lamb meets with much
| favor. He has the necessary qualifications,
and would make strong candidate. 1t is not
| known whether or not Mr., Lamb would
enter the contest.
| The Democrats have adopted the same rule
as did their opponents, and no one will be al
lowed on the floor of the convention but
delegates and reporters. The general public
will occupy the galleries
| The contest for delegates in town this
afternoon in the various wards was spirited.
The sound money Democrats are taking
very little interest in the Democratic county
convention.
