The usual quiet of our community re-
mains unbroken, save the rush and hur-
ry that seems to possess our farmers to
get in their supply of fertilizers. AS an
evidence of this fact about thirty-6ve or
forty cars have been already delivered at
this place for farmers around here and
quite number have yet to be supplied.
What the result of this will be is not diff
ficclt to forecast. II the yield of cotton
next fall is equal to the quantity Of fer
tilizers being used we may safely quote
next falls price Of cotton at three or four
cents. And right now we see that the
price Of cotton has jumped to six cents,
which advance we understand to be a
bait for farmers to increase the cotton
area. Will the farmers bite at SO simple
bait as this? Surely not.
The health of our community is fair at
this writing, except severe colds.

must be fault somewhere. Who can

"REMEMBER THE MAINE"

When the vengeance wakes, when the battle
breaks,
And the ships sweep out to sea;
When the foe is neared, when the decks are
cleared.
And the coors floating free;
When the squadrons meet, when it's fleet to
fleet
And front to front with Spain
From ship to ship, from lip to lip
Pass on the quick refrain,
"Remember remember the Maine!"
When the flag shall sign, "Advance in line,
Train ships on an even keel;'
When the guns shall fash and the shot shall
crash
And bound on the ringing steel;
When the ratting blasts from the armored
masts
Are hurling their deadlet rain,
Let their voices loud, through the binding
cloud,
Cry, ever, the fierce refrain,
"Remember, remember the Maine!"
Coils sky and sea in that storm shall be
Fate's chaos of smoke and flame,
But across that hell every shot shall tell
Not gun can miss its aim;
Not blow shall fail on the crumbling mail,
And the waves that engulf the slain
Shall sweep the decks of the blackened wrecks,
With the laundering dread refrain,
"Remember remember the Maine!"

1t was carried unanimously.

BECAUSE the Populists and Denociaty and
few honest Republicans in congress are fighting
against bonds and opposing reckless extrava-
gence in congress, Republican papers of the
lingo stripe are sfcating "Treason!" Patriot
ism does not consist of squanderng the peoples
money and issuing bonds that few millionaires
may add to their millions at rhe expense of
the nation. The Republican idea of patriotism
seems to be the looting of the public treasury.
We do not say thut all Republicans endorse
this idea, for there are honest Republicans, who
oppose bonds and all unnecessary expenditure
of the peoples money. They are in the mi
norty. The fellows who are shouting so lusti-
ly for bonds are not the ones who will go to
the front and fight for their country.

FREE SILVER AND WAR:


Ex-Governor St. John spoke at Hamilton hall,
Topeka, Monday night, on the above subject,
under the auspices of the Free Silver Republic
all club. The hall was appropriately decorat-
ed, and large audience greeted the speaker.
The Capital gives the following report of the
speech
Mr.. St. John opened his remarks by saying
that he was proud to be before the audience un-
der the auspices of the Free Silver Republican
club but he said that he hoped in the future to
see no Free Silver Republicans, Democrats,
Probibitionsts and Populsts, but one consoli-
dated free silver organization. The speaker
then devoted his remarks to the seriousness of
the hour in the impending war, and said that
he had from the first favored the freedom of
Cuba, and that he hoped there would be no ces-
sation in the hostilites nor any compromise
until Cuba should be free He said that he
regretted that war was inevitable, but he thought
that if lives had to be lost and property destroyd,
it was better that of Spain than that of the
United States. He said the battle of Manila
was the greatest naval fight in the history of
the world, and would go down in history as
such.
Mr.. St. John then left the subject of war and
took his up principal theme the free silver side
of the question. He said that the issue should
not be lost sight of during the war, and said
that the fight at the ballot box was greater than
the one between the United States and Spain,
for the reason that the one was for the freedom
of the American people and the other for the
freedom of the Cubans.
He said that eX- President Cleveland had pan
6ere n 10
Mckinley was following the formers policy.
If the Cuban insurgents had been recognized as
beligerents during Cleveland's administration,
they would themselves have ended the war
months ago, he said
The speaker then launched into an execra-
ton of the present congress on account of its
issuance of bonds for expenses during the war,
and thought paper money should be issued in
stead of the bonds. The government stamp
made the money, he claimed, and this country
never had anything but fiat money, in spite of
what others said to the contrary The remain
der of the speech except the last few sentences
was devoted to condemnation of the present
administration and the gold standard men. He
also told why wheat went up.
In closing, Mr.. St. John spoke Of the strong
patriotism in Kansas. He said that Governor
Leedy could raise regiment of colonels every
fifteen minutes.
Alter closing he introduced the following res
olution
Resolved: That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the senators and congressman of Kan
sas be asked to vote against the bill providing
for interest bearing bonds and be asked to sup
port the issuance of the greenback currency in
stead.
It was carried unanimously.

CUBANS GROW HUFFY.
1t May Re That There Will Be Dissolu-
ton of Partnership.


An Associated Press correspondent,
writing from Siboney under date of
last Tuesday, sends the following story,
which seems to be full of significance !:
A fact which is impressed more and
more every day upon the American
officers and men is the increasing
strained relations between the Amer
leans and General Garcia's Cuban SOL
diers. Indeed the situation has now
reached a point where there is prac-
tically no communication between the
armies, and their relations border on
those of hostility rather than the rela-
tions which one would suppose should
exist between allies.
After General Shafter announced his
decision not to let the Cuban junta en-
ter the city of Santiago, deep mutter-
ings were heard among General Gar
cia's men. 1t was evident the Cubans
were greatly disappointed at the step
taken by the American commander,
for they had confidently counted upon
having Santiago turned over to them
to loot and plunder, as they had in

COL0RS IN FLAGS.
Red Predominates Largely In the Stand
ards of the Chief Nations.

Red Predominates Largely In the Stand
ards of the Chief Nations.
Though the policy of military au-
thorities in using less glaring colors in
uniforms has been very marked of
late years, red remains the most popu-
lar color for national standards. Of
25 countries 19 have flags with red in
them, the list including the United
States, England, France, Germany,
Austria, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Bel
GUM, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey,
Mexico, Chile, Portugal, Venezuela
and Cuba.
The countries which have blue as an
element of their flags are the United
States, Russia, France, England, Hol-
land, Ecuador, Sweden, Chile, Vene-
zuela, Portugal and Cuba. Three
countries have black as one of the
elements of their flags, Germany, Bel
gium and China, but Germany is the
only one of the three which has black
and white together.
There are FIVE countries excluding
from consideration Ireland, the famil-
lar flag of which is not officially recog-
nized among the national standards)
which have green as color; Brazil,
the flag of which is green chiefly, Mex
leo, Egypt, Italy and Persia. There
are nine countries in which the flag is
partly of yellow. Those countries are
Austria, Spain, Belgium, Egypt, swe-
den, China, Persia, Brazil and Vene-
zueia. Countries with flags partly
white are the United States, France,
Germany, Russia, Austria, and Italy,
six of the seven chief powers.
There is no white in the national
standard of England, but the British
naval flag has a white background.
Other countries having white in their
flags are Switzerland, Turkey, Persia,
Japan, Mexico, Holland, Denmark,
Portugal, Cuba, Chile and Ecuador,
the flag of which is nearer white than
any other country, being made up OF
two parallel white columns, between
which is column of blue, upon which
are white stars.

succession sacked Baiquiri, Siboney
and Ell Caney. Consequently their
disappointment was keen when they
ascertained that they were not to be
permitted to take possession of the
city upon General Toral's surrender
On Friday last Castillo, brother Of
General Demetrius Castillo, went to
General Skaters headquarters in or.
der to ascertain the cause Of this, to
the Cubans, inexplicable resolution.
"Why is Santiago to remain in the
hands of our enemies ?" he asked.
"The Spaniards are not our enc.
miles," replied General shafter. "We
are fighting the soldiers of Spain but
we have no desire to despoil her citi-
zens. No Cuban will be allowed to
enter the city nor will any American
soldiers. The government of the city
is matter for the people to decide.
When the American army leaves it,
presume it will be turned over to you ;
but not until then"
Castillo, who came direct from Geu-
eral Garcia's camp, did not attempt to
conceal. his chagrin.
The Cuban soldiers now fully realize
that there is a rising sentiment against
them in the army. They hear nothing
but words of scorn from our men as
they pass, Juggling their bacon and hard
tack into the woods. Even our officers
no longer conceal their disgust for their
allies, and it is understood that the
warm friendship displayed toward
them at first has now turned into con-
tempt, for the Cubans have neither
fought nor worked. The correspon-
dent for the Associated Press who
sends this dispatch saw a group OF
Cubans refuse point blank to aid in
building roads, and, during the two
days heavy fighting, while they were
lettering in the rear, our surgeons
sought in vain to secure assistance
from them, even to cut poles for i'm
provised litters for our wounded.
Hundreds of such instances are be-
ing told around the camp fires, until
the name of Cuban is usually wreathed
with camp profanity, and very rarely
is kind word spoken of them. In
fact, in some quarters there is dispo-
sition to prophecy an early collision
between our men and the Cubans.
General Shafter, yesterday morning,
sent an invitation to General Garcia to
attend the ceremony of raising the
American flag over Santiago; but the
Cuban general showed his resentment
by sending a reply which amply con-
firmed the course which he and his
ragged, ignorant soldiers have followed
during the weeks of hard fighting and
campaigning which have resulted in
the fall of Santiago. He declined the
invitation, said he hated the Spaniards,
and added that he did not want to be
where any of them were.
Since that time the Cubans have re-
mained in their camp, eating Amerl-
can rations and our troops have no
communication with them.

CAPTAIN PHILIP, OF THE TEXAS.
He Is ga Presbyterian of the Old Schools"
"By Crackey."

SS~>~~~b
"By Craokey."
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Speaking of Captain Philip, of the
Texas, and noting the charge made
that he had not always been religious,
a Galveston correspondent says in ad-
dition to other things:
cit is not known here whether or
not Captain Philip was ever religious.
When he was here last February the
reporters on several occasions found
him reading a we'll thumbed Bible,
which he kept on his desk. 1t was OBJ
served that he never offered his guests
liquor, and this fact was commented
upon. Later it was ascertained that
he was a Presbyterian of the 'old
school, During his visit he spent much
of his time at the Y. M. G. A. building,
and expressed a lively interest in the
work of that institution. Then Captain
Philip didn't swear once during the
whole time he was here, although he
was provoked upon more than one oc-
casion. The extent of his 'cussing'
vocabulary is by crackey.' A little
incident occurred during his stay
which serves to show the admirable
character of the man, and at the same
time indicates that he is quite familiar
with the Bible. On the day after the
blowing up of the battleship Maine
one of the local newspapers published
an interview with Captain Philip. In
the same column was story relating
to certain conditions in the United
States navy. The information was
such as no commander in the navy had
any right to, give. 1t did not come
from Captain Philip, but was simply a
piece of reprint worked over from a
New York paper. Captain Philip, un-
aware of this fact. feared that the dis
closure might be attributed to him,
and was considerably troubled. But
he used no violent language. He SIM
ply sent note to the reporter, saying:
"'When you visit the Texas again,
over cigar, I will have "bone to
pick" with thee; and, as the boy said,
why did you do it?
Ever sincerely yours,
J. w. PHILIP.
"'see third Epistle of John, 18th
and 18th verses
Preferences, to the passages will
show how nicely they fit the case.
When the reporter called in response
to the invitation the matter was ex-
planned to the entire satisfaction of
Captain Philip, and then-well, he set
'em up to the cigars"
Following are the verses which Cap
tain Philip referred to:
I3. I had many things to write, but
1 will not with ink and pen write unto
thee,
IA. But trust I shall shortly see
thee, and we shall speak face to face.
Peace be to thee. Our friends salute
thee. Greet the friends by name.

see how long a considerable force will
be required, and military government
will have to be maintained while the
people of the island are developing
their ability to take care of them
selves. The full measure of RESPONSE
bility the United States was assuming
when Intervention was declared is just
now beginning to be felt. The fact
that so much will have to be done for
the Cubans to assist political rehabili-
tation has its influence in the consid-
Grafton of our duties regarding the
Philippines. AS the magnitude of the
Cuban problem develops, the feeling
that this government should not as
sumo too much on the other side of
tle world increases.
