Moss Bluff Matters.

Messrs. w. Z. Martin, CT. +.
Manson and G.. w. Smith seem to
have been the most successful

follows: Martin, on two acres,
$50 bushels; Manson, on five
acres, 400 bushels; Smith, on six
acres, 1880 bushels.

The ladies of Moss Bluff met
last Saturday at $50 p. ~. and

place in the near future.
Preparations are speedily be-

Saturday evening with j. s.
Driggers, while on her way to
Heather Island, where she will

The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1897-10-16

SENATOR MCLAUBIN, Of South Caro-
lima, believes that the approaching
session OF congress will devote prac-
iicAlly all OF its time to the financial
question and the annexation Of
Hawaii, and the settlement Of the
Cuban Equabble. He said he did not
think there was any likelihood OF war
between the United States aud Spain.
The outcome OF the Cuban trouble
would be, in his opinion, the complete
independence OF Cuba from Spain,
and the ultimate annexation OF Cuoa
TO the United States through the leg
islative action Of an independent legis.
lature OF Cuba. He thought that the
recall Of Weyler was the fret move in
a process OF "letting 90" which Spain
is about 10 inaugurate. Spain, he
said, could not fail 10 realize that the
continued possession OF Cuba would be
an expensive aud unsatisfa tory thing.
The expense would drain the very
blood from Spain, while the long con-
tinued war has destroyed Cuba as a
revenue-producing province. lie
thought Cuba would be gwen the
right TO vote her own form OF govern
ment, and that ultimately the queen
OF the Antilles would vote 60 be
placed under the protection OF Uncle
Sans wing.

THE UNCoILING or A FAIRY TALE.
Promptly upon the stroke Of two
bells the president Of iaig assccia-

charger, with melodrAmAtie eyes and
damp teeth, dashed like a linotype

A feeble hurrah from the starter,

signed by the president, broke the
silence, and the president, satisfied,
smiled and said ION with the races

The great Ingalls, has come and
gone. he was more an attraction than
an entertsinment He was, in has own
words, just on exhibition and not out
for a speech.
Ingalls, is an orator. But this was
not his day to crate. To say that his
remarks we're defense Of Republican
principles would be uneharitable. As
he looked ut II, McKinley's election
was in no way responsible for dollar
wheat, but foreign conditions alto
gether. II did disprove the Bryan
theory that produce prices and silver
went hand In hand. A voice sounded 4,
'How do you account for the low price
IN cotton9" The speaker replied that
he would get to that presently, which
he never did.
And he said the laboring mans dol
lar would buy more today than ever
before. This. in face Of the raise in
wheat increasing the price OF bread
in face OF the advance in sugar
and many Of the necessaries
Of every laborer's life, made more
costly by the late tariff schedules.
Ingalls, is genius OF the hustings
His extended political career is at once
apparent. Long experience in public
speaking, polishing the faculties Of a
naturally strong mind have taught
him 70 seize every advantage and
make OF every passing incident enter
tAinment for the crowd. The poli-
ticiAn, the stump speaker is seen in
such passages as there goes one Of
my competitors, as a horse dashes by
on the stretch behind-or in reply to
an interruption, "they didn't leave
postage stamps, the answer, quick as
thought, mo, nor brains enough TO
write letters to put them on.
His prize fighting references were
quickly understood and appreciated
Probably too, unconsciously, some OF
his expressions took on the form oi
his recent experiences, as he referred
10 the race being pulled on and tC
putting politician TO sleep"
Now and then comes rhapsody o.
words and one thought Of the light
ming that smote the Tall Sycamore o
the Wabash. Then we remember hi
words can drip with honey or bliste
like vitriol. lie speaks Of such pro
sale subject as the old way Of thresh
ing grain in "the dull thunder Of TN
