In the news column of The Age-Herald today will be found the full text of Sena- tor Cages finacial bill which he proposes will cover all the ills under which the country is now suffering. The proposed measure should have careful reading by all classes, no matter whether they agree with ideas of the author. A financial bill of some kind will be presented by the present congress for the purpos+ of re- deeming, if possible, the pledges the republican party made fn its convention at St. Louis. Secretary Gage is an anlfa- ble gentleman, and has giv5n to the ques- ton of finance some serious thought, though the position he takes will hardly meet with the approval of the millions of toilers of the country who have been starving for years, and the longsr they toll the deeper in debt hey become.

 I'd rather live in Bohemia than in any For only there are the values true, And the laurels gathered in all mems view.

Here pilgrims stream with faith sublime From every class and cline and time, Aspiring only to be enrolled

Judge Coleman's fool friends at home are doing that worthy gentleman more harm than he will eveT be able to remedy They are making it appear or attempting to do so that he is the only person in the state whom the party is indebted to and that unless he is made the rsal issue the party will go to pieces. The facts are the party cares no more for Judge Coleman than it doss for any other man who either holds office or seeks one.

Royal Yearly Incomes.

From the Durham Observer.
 The total annual income of the imperial family of Russia cannot be less than three and half million pounds sterling.

Many other traits indicative OF foresight
and reflection crowd into memory as one
writes. If, by way OF example, an especi-
ally sensible lion resolves to attempt some
thing which he distrusts his ability to ac-
complisb, this astute individual does not
go into the matter at hap hazard, trusting
TO luck, but being what nature and train
ing have made him, he is apt to practice
the intended feat, and has been seen
doing so. His parents instructions during
wheipdom have taught most that preda-
tory life compels him to know, and when
failure has taken away the over-confi-
dance OF youth, lions usually are very
thoroughly accomplished animals.
Life, however, is full of vicissitudes

unexpected occasions for effort present

meeting such contingencies, his adaptation
of means TO anticipated results often brings

TONOMY ORDER.
The Reply of the Cuban Government
Is Explicit Nothing Will Suffice but
Absolute Observation-Disclosures of
the Country, as Seen by Dun.
Cuba Refuses Autonomy.

The Official Gazette at Madrid pub
fishes the royal decree granting autonomy
to Cuba and Porto Rico, thus removing
the anxiety that had begun to be express
ed on all sides as the result of the Gov
ernment's reticence and unexplained de-
lay. The answer OF the Cuban Govern
ment to the offer is in the hands of Els
trada Palma, the head of the Cuban
iunta in New York. 1t is the ection of
the assembly of the constitutional gov
eminent, and states the purpose of the
revolutionary leaders to decline any prop
osition from Spain that does not mean
complete and absolute independence and
perfect freedom from Spanish domination.
The document was issued ut La Yaya,
Camaguey, Oct 30, 1897, and is signed by
Domingo Mendez Capote, president of
the Cuban republic, and the other off
Gals OF the Government. 1t says in part:
mo special laws, nor reforms, nor au-
tonomy-nothing that supposes under
whatever name, form or manner the sub
sistence of the Spanish domination in
Cuba can terminate the actual struggle.

instructions of State and county con-
ventions In his behalf, Is leading MEM

this subject to-day, said: I'm my opin-
ion 1t would be for the good of the re-
public to amend the Federal constitu-
ton by providing for the elections Of
Senators in Congress by popular vote.
The nearest approach to the enactment
of the popular will with reference to a
Senatorial candidate has been obtained
through the designation of the intend
ed Senator by the State convention,
constituting the highest authority of
the party and the people who compose

convention having clearly placed Mr..
Hanna before the people as the candi-
date of the Republican party for the

Assassin of the Arkansas Politician

Assassin of the Arkansas Politician
Said to he a Georgia Prisoner.
The murderer of John Nj. Clayton of
Arkansas, it is claimed, is now serving
term in the Georgia penitentiary. He is
a white man, and his term will soon OK
pire. j. Nj. Clayton, brother of Powell
Clayton, a Republican leader, was MUIR
dered in November, 1888, and while the
State Of Arkansas was quivering with
excitement the assassin escaped to the
mountains Of north Georgia. He remain
ed there under an assumed name until
the penchant for crime mastered him, and
he worked his way into convict stripes.
In moment when his secret preyed too
heavily upon his mind he impaired 1t to
fellow convict, who told guard named
Aiken. Aiken, who claims to hold the
key to the mystery, was seen. He Is hold
ing his information for reward, and de-
clines to disclose the convicts name at
this time. Gov. Jones Of Arkansas has
reopened the case, and has authorized
reward of $500 for the arrest and convic-
ton of Clayton's murderer.
