No Autonomy tor Palma.

OF the decree establishing political and conf
merciai autonomy in Cuba Thomas Estranda
Palma, the responsible head of the revolutionary
narty. saws: "The Cubans in arms have never
considered but one ending to the war in Cuba.
# can result in but one of two situations-ab-
solute independence or complete determination.
There can be no middle course. No reform,
however liberal will even be considered. The
offer of autonomy as made by Spain is farce
1t is not autonomy at all. 1t invests the cap
tain-seaera with supreme authority as the rep
resentative of Spain Of the thirty-hve mem-
bers of the proposed senate, seventeen are
appointed for life by him, and eighteen are
elective The governor general may, at his
pleasure, convoke, suspend, adjourn or dissolve
the legislative body without asking the consent
of it's members. He will, according to the
proposed plan, be commandments OF the
military forces, and be the virtual head OF the
;: ate, navy and war departments. The Cuban
presentation i'll the parliament is rendered
Howerless But the provisions OF the autono-
mist plan are not worth discussing. They are
so farcical upon their face that they deserve no
serious consideration"
General Caixto Garcia, commander-in-chlef
Of the eastern division of the Cuban forces, has
issued manifesto setting forth that any mem
her of the eastern forces, whatever his rank,
who may receive Spanish commissioner bear
inc efers of autonomy from Spain, Will be re-
sarded as spy, and punished as sucn.

J.. v. BEEKMAN GOES AFTER MCKINLEY.

Judge J. " Beeklnan, the erstwhile silver
Republican who made goldbug speeches last
year, seems to be hot under the collar The
following appears as special from Topeka i'll
last Saturdays Kansas City Times
mckinley" said Judge j. " Beekman,
Republican eX-representatlve from Cowley
county, "has violated all the party promises
with reference to the independence of Cuba.
The struggling patriots of that island are i'll
the same condition to-day as our forefathers at
Valley Forge, and they need the sympathy and
encou-ag emert of all liberty-loving people
The party representatives are not obeying the
campaign and election promises"
"Have you observed in the mornir g papers
that New York millionaires are about to erect
statue of solid gold to Mckinley"
"All of that kind of rot will, am afraid,
hurt the Republican paaty. The people of
this country are not worshipers of either golden
or brazen images. l am with the common peo-
pie, and of them, and take no stock in such
nonsense. 1t would be much,better to give the
million dollars that statue will cost to help the
cause of liberty in Cuba or to feed the poor and
hungry of New York. No hungry man can
feel his appetite appeased by looking at gold
statue of the advance agent of prosperity.
am a friend and great admirer of Our president
but believe the erection of his statue in gold
bv his friends will be doing him a great injus-
tice"
Mr.. Be.kman is one of the strongest and
ablest Republicans in Kansas but was until
Mckinley was nominated, staunch silver adj
vocate. Like great many other Republican
politicians, he changed MS opinion III night,
and now talks about protection and sound money
like veteran gold man, although his feelings
revolt at the idea of the milionaires' gold
statue of Mckinley.

DebS Appeals to Mckinley.


A dispatch from Chicago says: Eugene "
Debs sends the following signed statement to an
evening paper:
"The statement from Judge Terhune, special
agent for Governor Mount, of Indiana, that
5000 families are literally starving to death III
Indiana coal fields, is not overdriwh
cit Is the ha ygard truth. TIE tro Id IS, III.
people will not believe it. They r.!use 10
realize the appalling calamity, even though the
groaning victims are at their very doors The
miners have been steadily ground dowA until
the starvation point has been reached. This
condition prevails over the entire mining region
1t has been suggested that the governor compel
the operators to conc.de living wages. This
cannot be DONE While the mines are private
property, the owners will insist on operating
them to suit themselves. Nor would any good
result from a settlement in Indiana. The men
must cover the whole conpeti i've field.
"rhe greed of the large operators VII. cYen-
uate in the collective ownership Of the mines
Nan has no more right to private ownership OF
the coal mines than of the sea or the sun.
"But something should be done now. There
is condition akin to war upon the country
The nations defenses are going down Ill the
battle against starvation. War measures ale in
order. The president of the United States can
act. Let him Issue proclamation calling up
on the operators to meet and allow the miners
living wages within forty-eight hours, under
penalty of having their mines seized by tie
government and operated in the interest of the
people.
"That would settle the matter in an instant.
Something has got to be done, and done quick
w. If Indiana allows the families of 5000
luckless laborers to be tortured by starvation,
she will not escape the penalty, and he same IS
true of all other states and the country at large.
"EUGENE V. DEBS."
OPPONENTS to the government ownership Ct
railroads in this country find an argument
against the system in the fact that the Prussian
state railroads pay in the pnblic treasury net
earnings of fourteen per cent. on their cost.
They say the people VINO have to use the rail-
roads ought not to be charged such high rates
for fare and freight and compelled to bear so
large part of the expense of maintaining the
government But these same defenders OF the
present system of running roads for private
profit think it all right for the Goulds and Van
derbilts and Huntingtons to realize fifty per
cent on what their roads cost. 1t makes no
difference how government roads are run to
these fellows. If they are operated at loss
there is o.e kind of howl; if they pay profit
into the treasury, there is another kind. The
Aeecers are bound to see to it that fleeing don't
lack apologists and defenders. Star and Kan

THE MODERN POLITICIAN.


sure to swpe,
For Jimmy was so very, very greedy
Now, when there was no Office rourd, he never
lost his sleep,
And though he read some politics, twas just
enough TO keep
His name from being listed will, the very black
est sheep,
And being dubbed by thinkers that "Old
Seedy."
Reiormers grew around bm--the men who al
ways fight
And spend their hard-eaIned money for what
they think is right;
But Jimmy, politician, kept his mouth cement
ed tight,
Except about the different kinds OF weather.
In due time the reformers all united in one clan,
And called big convention to carry out their
plan,
But had given not thought about the kim; OF
They'd need to hold their forces all together.
The big convention met on time and every one
was there,
And there were many rumors of some trouble
in the air;
But all was fixed, and Jimmy's man selected
for the chair,
And everything was coming Jimmv's way.
The chairman rose up gravely nd lulled his
whiskers long,
And said he thought the proper thing would be
10 have song,
And hoped the people all would join right in
the chorus strong
For every one should feel so good that day.
AID when the song was over Ctwas a mighty
good one, too),
The chairman rose up gravely and told tn, III
what he'd do;
And then he called on Jimmy politician, for
his view,
So sudden twas, it almost took his breath!
Aud Jimmie rose up gravely, with seeming
great surprise,
And came quite slowly forward, looking ve,y
wise,
And said there we've some fellows that we're
round a-tellin' lies,
But he was Their to fight 'en to the death!
And then he opened grandly OIL the fellows
that were in,
And the way that he did peel 'em was lust an
awful sin,
And when he finished up his speech, twas set
tied he was in,
And every one was calling his 'our JIM"
Elected? Why, of course he was, for every
thing was right
"Our Jimmy was caution, and lie captured
all in sight.
The other fellow hardly knew he ran, election
night,
Or Jimmy was so far ahead of him.
But Jmmy-Oh, sad case--the cuss was NOR
til after ALL
AID from his perch he took tumble and an
awful fall.
1t seemed that he was short OH brains, but
very long on gall,
And next convention, Jimmy was defeated
The moral is: Re(orners, when they wish to
make fight
Must take man that labored when 10 fodder
was in sight,
Ins'e cad of one afflicted with abnormal appetite
For office-and then, justice wi meed.

THE TAX ON WHEELS.

On another page among the wheel
notes it will be seen that the wheel
men are opposing the bill to tax bi
cycles on the ground that other
vehicles are not taxed, and that no
tax should be imposed on wheels un j.
less all other vehicles are taxed
equally, They seem to be selfish in
this matter and forget that the 10
cal inhabitant pays and has paid
very likely, for more years than
most of them have lived, an annual
road tax. The wheelmen sl1ips
through the county, uses the road
and wants it better, has all the
rights of a vehicle, and the fullest
protection of the law on the high
way, and yet he protests if he is
asked to contribute his n,odicum to-
ward those rights and privileges.
He asks full representation in all
benefits but pleads to be excused
from bearing any share Of the bur-
den. Now gentlemen, we favor
good roads, and have always urged
them, but we think you should not
be quite so fresh in your demands,
The farmers and taxpayers will
much more cheerfully and cordially
aequiesce in your request for good
roads and they viii also regard you
with a much greater complaisance
if you show a fair and liberal spirit

A southern firm advertises varieties
of Confederate bills for 20 cents, also a
rare collection of 90 different bills and
shinplasters for only $2.'' Apparently
the firm has millions of dollars worth
of this money for sale cheap.
What pity that our old fogy consti-
tuition is in the wayl But for it the
cheap money advocates in any state
where they have majority could buy
up this whole Confederate outfit and
start in business at once. The amount
of prosperity and happiness that could
be extracted from this old paper mine
would depend upon the size (population)
of the state fortunate enough to secure
the monetary outfit.
For instance, it would probably give
Nevada more than 81, 600 per capita and
would at once transform her from one
Of the poorest TO one of the wealthiest
Of states. Instead of sagebrush and
prizehghts she would TEEN with gran
aries and warehouses. Down with a
constitution which prevents state home
rule in monetary affairs and the mani
fold blessings Of cheap money!
