A genuine picture in miniature of the
effect of Spanish misrule is to be found
In Puerto Rico. 1t pays Spain this year
$4,374,S74 in taxes, of which only $780,
900 is spent for the benefit of the native
population. Out Of 4S9, 1851 whites on
the island, only 96,S67 can read and
write, and the Spaniards supported by
the people number not less than $4,000.
This is a fair Illustration Of the way in
which Spain governs its dependencies.

shame, of a new bridge across the
Danube. Pillars of a bridge built at
the same place by the Emperor Trajan
are to form part of the structure. The
engineers attest the strength Of the Ro-
man work under an emperor whose
reign began exactly eighteen hundred
years ago. To do as the Romans did
may sometimes mean a descent to the
lowest vices, hut it may also signify a
noble integrity in Budding as in being.

Everything depends upon the point Of

assures his countrymen. that Americans
are bxrbarians. He says: '@They live
months without eating a mouthful Of

enormous quantities; they have to
battle frequently; they eat meat with
knives and prongs; they never enjoy
themselves by sitting quietly on their
ancestors graves, but jump around and
kick balls as IL paid to do it; and they
have no dignity, for they may be found
walking with women"

Breach Of Promise Nnit.


This morning the jury in the
Davis breach of promise case rem
dered a verdict, They found a
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
of $4,000. The jurors who served
on the case are Stephen Becker, j.
c. McCulloch, Richard Johnson,
- Nealing, Cbas. Perryman. P. B.
Austin, Ben White. Capt. Miles,
G. G. Bell. M. l.. Coker. j. Chiffon
and Ben Ellsworth. The jury was
out about 40 hours, and after much
labor arrived at the verdict. For
many hours it was the same old
case, eleven to one, but finanlly
the one gave way and agreed to
giving damage of $1,000. After a
hard nights tussle the sum that in
each mans opinion seemed just,
was put down and added up-that
sum divided by twelve gave the
amount named in the verdict.
This. to an ordinary person, is a
very large sum, and the Times is
informed the case will go up on an
appeal. Davis will, of course,
contest it to the court of last resort
This case has attracted much
attention and created considerable
comment. Mr.. Davis is one of the
wealthiest and best known cattle-
men in Canadian district, and has
many influential friends through
out the country. The young wom-
an seems to be almost unknown,
and without friends. She was
represented by Seavers & Gibson,
attorneys, Davis was represented
by Hutchings & West, and also by
Judge Shackleford. The verdict
does not seem to create much sur
prise, though many supposed it
would be much smaller than 1t
was. Muskogee Times.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.


By the President of the United
States-A proclamation:
The approaching November
brings to mind the customs of our
ancestors, hallowed by time and
rooted in our most sacred tradi-
tions of giving thanks to Almighty
God for all the blessings He has
vouchsafed to us during the past
year.
Few years in our history have
afforded such cause for thanks.
giving. We have been blessed by
abundant harvests, our trade and
commerce have been wonderfully
increased, our public credit has
been improved and strengthened,
all sections of our common coun-
try have been brought together
and knitted into closer bonds of
national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for time
darkened by the cloud of war, but
as we were compelled to take up
the sword in the cause of human
ity, we are permitted to rejoice
that the conflict has been of brief
duration and the losses we have
had to mourn, though grievous
and important, have been SO few,
considering the great results ac-
complished, as to inspire us with
gratitude and praise to the Lord OF
Hosts. We may laud and magnify
His holy name that the cessation
Of hostilities came so soon as to
spare both sides the countless sor-
rows and disasters that attend
protracted war.

fellow citizens, as well those at

set apart and observe Thursday,
the 24tn day of November, as a
day of national Thanksgiving, to
come together in their several
places of worship for a service of
praise and thanks to Almighty
God for all the blessings of the
year; for the mildness of the sea-
sons and the fruitfulness of the
soil, for the continued prosperity
of the people, for the devotion and
valor of our copntrymen, for the
glory OF our victory and the hope
of righteous peace and to pray
that the Divine guidance which
has brought us heretofore to safety
and honor may be graciously con-
tinued in the years to come.
