 ''The best class of CubaDs do not want the island turned over to them. they want to become a part of the United States.

A Moonlight Party.

A moonlight party. consisting ex- clusively of young ladies, most ol them being attired in bloomers and nearly all mounted on burros, left Prescott last evening just as "tbe shades of night were falling fast, their objective point being Point of Rocks. When the front ranks of the procession reached WhIpple. il was discovered that many of the party, mounted on slow going steeds, had dropped away behind the rest of the party, and halt was made for them to catch up. Oue young lady had the misfortune to get a horse which refused to asso- ciate with donkeys, and, consequent ly, could not be induced to take his place in the procession, and she was compelled to return to town alone secure a new mount and return again to join the party, unescorted by anyone.
 4 final round up was made at Whipple, when the procession took up its line of march again, but the progress made was so slow, that, by the time they reached John Dukes ranch, they discovered that it would be au all night journey to go to Point of Rocks and return. The party amounted there and went into camp, and ate up all the nice palatable nick hacks which they took along for lunch, and then re- turned to Prescott. reaching home a little before midnight.
 The party consisted of the follow ing: Misses - Daniels, Louie Gage, Flossie Marks, - Hall, Ruth Op- dyke, Mary McGill, Anna Davis, Inez Raible. Cordelia Gaines, Maud Scarborough, Hattie Oliver, Frances Bet tEune, Irene Martin.

That is What a Prominent Democrat
 Says of Bryan and His Doctrine.

Col. James Mitchell, editor of the Little Rock, Arkansas, Democrat, and 8 strong supporter of Bryan in 1896, In a recent interview tells why he has deserted the democratic standard bearer of 1896, and his pol icy. This is what he said:
 Free silver is a dead issue. When I was at our state convention and they adopted resolutions endorsing free silver and reaffirming their feal- ty to Bryan, told some of my friends an ancient story.

 My young friend I replied, 'thirty-six years ago 1 engaged in the enterprise of establishing and sustaining a system of the southern confederacy, without the aid or con sent of any other nation on earth. When the war was imminent some of us feared We could not succeed without the aid of some of the great European powers.
