ALL SHADES AND SORTS OF
VIEWS. FROM RANK C0MMEN-
DATlON CONDEMNATION
Complaint Made That Autonom,
Gives Cuba More LiberrysThan
Spain EnjoyS-SOme Call 1t
Red Run" Others Call
II DAY Of Wrath"


the Herald from Madrid says:
Public opinion here is engross-
ed by the Cuban question. There
is little else in the papers but mat
ter relating to the DEGREES. Some
extracts from the leaders of the
principle papers will give the best
idea of the diverse points of view
with which is regarded by the
government as ample redemption
of the promises it made.
The Liberal is entirely satisfied.
The Epocha, on the other hand,
regards it an example of red
ruin, the breaking up of the law,
considering that the solution of
the grave problem Of commercial
autonomy can neither be accepted
as satisfactory nor can the mo-
Itives brought forward in its favor
be looked upon as encouraging.
Ell Pals is both philosophising
and commendatory.
The Correspo says the govern
ment has kept its promises and
striven for peace.
The Impartial argues that the
step taken by the government was
necessitated by the circumstances
of the case, and to continue in the
road followed up to the present
was to arrive inevitably at the
abyss.
The Correspondence says frank
ly: "The Liberal government,
taught by the bitter experience of
the last three years, has done the
sole thing possible"
The Progresso finds that under
the new regime Cuba has more
liberty than the rest of Spain.
The Nacional says in the DEGREES
"All advantages for the Antilles
and all troubles for Spain; all
rights and privileges of pre-emi-
nence for the Antilles, all respon-
sibility for Spain"
The Heraldo is critical; objects
to the long introduction and asks
when and where Spain acted
with brutality in Cuba, as the
preamble more than insinuates.
The Dia claims that Spain will
lose nothing through the CONNER
cial autonomy of Cuba, as it will
always be the market for the pro-
ducts of the peninsula.
The Correo Espanos' opinion
can be easily gathered from the
fact that the leading article is
headed "Dies Irae, while the po-
litical part of the paper is gath
cred under general heading,
Governmental Treason"
The Correspondence Militar
considers the measures ruinous
for the country.
The pens with which the queen
regent signed the DEGREES have
been given to Senior Garcia Mo
linas for the museum at Porto Ri
co.
Senior Moret has also given to
the same institution the pen he
used in drawing the DEGREES.
AS to the rumor that the Office
of colonial minister is to be abOl-
ished now that the colonies are
autonomous, it is too absurd to
merit refutation. More than ev-
er will a minister be required to
superintend the dealings between
the colonies and the mother coun.

see any abandonment of its principles

THE RELIABLE HEN.

The incubator business is taking on
astounding proportions. This is true
of the use of these machines, as well
in the manufacture of incubatOrs.
The latter business could not have at
tanned it's present dimensions had it
not been for the success Of the ma
chinesin actual poactice all over the
country. There has been too much u
in the use of incubators and too
much money made by this process to
claim, at this late day, that the most
improved incubators are anything but
successful and profitable when correct
~ managed. We r led to these re-
Elections by receiving the superb 1853
page catalogue of the Reliable Incuba-
tor 6 Brooder Co of Quincy, Ill. Their
machine is n of the most popular
and most largely, used. 1t is made in

cannot be said in favor of the Reliable

perfect as is possible to attain. One
OF the strong points of this machine is
that they are thoroughly tested in CON

methods followed at these and other
