We have amongst US a certain mum
Der OF citizens of Spanish birth, who,
in all the, walks of life, have never
been aught than courteous, upright
and honorable nlen and whose wives
and descendants are children Of our
soil. To expect the Spaniard to stife
all pride of race, TO tear from his
heart all love for motherland, to re-
joice in the hour of his country's trial.
to be otherwise than sOrrowful in the
presence of the impending conflict be-
tween his native and adopted land
would be to regard him as a degraded
being. insensible to shame, an object
Of contempt to be scorned alike by his
own race and by ours. TO understand
and appreciate his position, TRY to put
ourselves in his place; remember that
love Of God engenderS love OF country,
and, remembering this, we cannot,
without degrading ourselves, do other
wise than sympathize with the I'M
fortunate condition in which he is
placed through no fault of his own.
and. at the same time. respect his
feelings, controlled as they must be
by that same love and devotion which
fiji the heart Of every true man for
the land of his birth.

THE TRUECRITERION Is QUALITY

Comparisons as Shakespeare
says, "are odlous." In spite OF the
claims made by other papers the
"Old Reliable DEMocRAT-SrAR
stands in the lead. 1t gives the local
news and happenings over the county,
IL gives a good quality of reading
matter and has opinions of its own.
For such a paper no man OF sense and
judgment would eyer begrudge the
fair stipend OF two dollars. The
cheapest are by 10 means always the
best, as every buyer knows. AS far as
circulation may be concerned, we
make no idle boast when we say that
the DENoCRAT-SrAR is a welcome
visitor in almost every household in

devote the remainder of his years,

VERY LATEST WAR news
The Following is the Very Lat
est News Received at This
Office as We Put the Demo
crat-Star to Press this Thurs
day. Evening.
ULTIMATUM SENT TOSPAIN.

WASHINGTON, April 20. IS9S.-This
has been an cventful day in Washing
ton. The President approved the res
olutions of Congress. sent an ultima
tum to Spain and the Spanish min
lister got his passports. Although the
text OF the ultimatum was not made
public, it is known that with it is
transmitted to the Spanish govern
ment, through Minister Woodford, Il
copy OF the joint resolutions of Con
gresS, together with the statement
that they have received executive
approval. The President makes Il
demand upan Spain to withdraw her
land and naval forces from the island
of Cuba and its waters, and in the
event that a satisfactory response to
this demand is not received by Satur-
day, the President will proceed with
the armed forces of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect.

OUR DUTY REGARDLESS OF THE
FAULTS.
MEN AND FELLOw-CITIzENs:

MEN AND FELLOw-CITIzENs:
A grave question confronts us as
American citizens. The question of
war between the United States and
Spain, and as the interest of the white
American citizen are SO blended with
that of the black American citizen, |
am forced to call your attention to
the importance Of looking the situa-
tion %squarely in the face. We should
think as men should think, and then
act as true prtriotic men should act.
Though the nation has not at all
times gwen us that protection tn
which our loyalty has entitled US.
This is painfully evidenced by the al
most daily Outragcs chrunic!ed, show
ing ly%nclings, murders, assassina-
tiuns, and even crcmations Of our
people all Owe the Southland; and
when we protest against this inliuman
conduct toward US, We are quietly told
that our redress is rclegated to the
several States and their governments,
and that The nation has no power TO
interfere IN the premises. STILL If some
half-brecL foreigners, claiming allie
glance to our government. is ~insulted
by any foreign country, redress to him
is at once demanded, and in most
cases large indemnitics are given.
These words may sound harsh. Bat
they are nevertheless true, and | very
much regret that there is excuse for
making the declarations.
But regardless Of the faults Of this
grand old Union of ours. we love her
still, and her flag we are willing to die
by. ThirH OF your homes, your fami-
lies, your towns, your State and your
nation. Can you, as IA true man. al
low Spain or any nation tn intrude on
these sacred jewels? Let us be just
in our consideration OF the justice o.
our cause. In my humble opinion,
Spain has failed to act liumanely TO-
wards the Cuhans, as well as in a
measure treated this government with
contempt. | fail tn see the Judgment
or wisdom in her course towards us.
When we thought the time had come
for the war in Cuba tn stop, FOL
Spain to regard us mcddlesome and
treat us as such, for the destruction
of a great ship and crew. The Quesr
ton now Is, what are we going to do:
You, fellow-citizens, should answer
this question in whatever manner
you know to be for the saliva
tiOn OF suffering humanity. The hon
or Of our nation and the glory OF God
as a black American citizen, | am per
suaded TO ask that we hold ourselves
in readiness To move at any notice
given by our Representative In cOun-

manner they think best for the good
Of our great Republic.
Sincerely yours for the welfare

WAR!

As was expected-nay, even de-
m~anded-by the American people, the
Senate and House Of Representatives
quickly settled their differences,
which, after all, were more of method
than of spirit, and concurred in a set
Of resolutions having for their object
the expulsion OF the Spaniards from
Cuba with the subsequent independ-
ence of the Island. In the past few
days events have followed each other
in quick succession. The concurrent
action Of House and Senate received
the immediate approval of the Presi-
dent, who, at once, sent an ultimatum
to the Spanish government demand
ing the complete evacuation OF the
Island Of Cuba, with a delay OF seven
ty-two hours in which TO accept or
refuse the demand. 1t may be taken
for granted that sovereignty over the
Queen Of the Antilles, the brightest
gem in the Spanish crown, and which
has glittercd in that crown since the
days of Ferdinand and Isabella, will
not be relinquished without a cour-
ageous and determined appeal TO the
arbitrament Of the sword. And so
the die is cast. For veal or woe, war
is upon us. The clash of arms, with
all its horrid accOmpaniments, will
soon be heard, for the fleets OF the
two nations are nearing each other,
both ready and eager for the fray.
In this hour we belong tn no section.
We advocate no party that does not
echo the loyal hopes and feelings of a
united nation. We are Americans,
all, from the lakes to the gulf, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and in
unison with the rest OF our country.
men give loyal %utterance to the senti-
mcnt, "OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT OR

May the God Of battles bless our

fare Of u beloved land! May He
temper the aSpcrity Of the soldier
with justice and humanity. May He
give to Il leaders, in the Cabinet
and in the field, the spirit of wisdom,
fortitude, prudence and moderation.
May He bring about an early and hon

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The res

Whereas, abhorent conditions which
have existed for more than three years

Third-That the President of the

A K SAND STORM.

The Reporter of the DEMOCRAT
STAR was handed the following poem
which is decidedly original in style
rhyme, metre and versincation, anC
will doubtless find a place in the SCRAP
book Of every lover Of poetry.
A sand storm is sweeping past,
Every one cOwpd and heart subducd,
Tons of dirt are lifted by the blast,
And Is destined, every house to intrude.
A forty mile wind from the south,
Comes with II gust and frolicking toss,
Driving dirt in your eyes and mouth
Until breath Is gone and sight is lost.
II a dear one becomes very sick.
And you wish the Doctor to call,
Dash ont between gusts, be quick,
For when 1t strikes you must fall.
In "A prank it will doN your hat,
Ana whlsk into your ears and nose.
1t Will play up and down your back,
And in u jltfy, disc0lOr YOU clothes.
For sixteen days it continued to bloS;
1t was the worst OF dirty weather,
Disguised and weary, ] wished To go.
But Was tossed back like u feather.
In the streets you cannot see to walk.
Blinded, in the gutter You would fall.
III you drive, the horse will balk,
Confusion Is common to all.
The ladies are cross and ready to scold,
The dirt. like a storm driven rain.
Comes seeking every crevice and hold;
Their efforts ut cleaning are all vain.
On the furniture you may write,
Or work II sum in long division,
With the buster, continue to fight.
But the wind howls in derision.
On the plains OF Texas. OMEGA.
March %. 1898.
