Recognizing that the most important

made the diplomatic agent Of the govern

present government of the island be recog-

he has been accredited but at the same

The relations of the United States to Cuba
being of supreme Importance, and as the
independence of the island Is in fact de-

important person in the government of the

This was one of the best, if not
the best costume present.
Summer was represented in
a very able manner by Mrs. E.
G. Dodge. She wore pink
dress with roses.
Winter" the reverse of Sum
mer, was represented by Miss
Birdina Tennell. She wore a
snow-white dress, that glittered
with it's snow-crystal appearance
under the mellow light. This
was a fine costume.
Miss Mable Rowles took the
part of Fairy" in very cred
liable manner. This was per-
haps the finest costume present.
And now comes the "Yellow
Kid" or in other words, George
Thompson. This was an excel
lent character.
Miss Alice Felkner and Mrs.
G. Pierce took the character of
"Klondikers." They were dress
ed in heavy fur coats and caps,
and it reminded one of the Klon-
dixie dress that we have read so
much about. They attracted
much attention during the entire
evening, and the manner in
which they scattered "gold mug
gets" as large as walnuts, was a
good take off" on the famous
Klondike region that we hear SO
much about. They sustained the
character they represented in a
first-class manner.
Miss Virgie Lively was 'tPeter,
Peter, Pumpkin Eater" and the
character she represented and
sustained was with much credit.
The last, but not the least, was
the 'Old Parson, "-Thos. Chiv-
ers. He ''fooled us ALL" was the
general expression. With his
bible and and his parson costume
he acted his part well.

Fusion of silver Forces.

Hon. W. j. Bryan advocates
the fusion of silver forces iu 1898
and gives his reasons why CO.
operation should prevail. Mr..
Bryan says fusion does not con-
template the abandonment of
party organization or the sur
render of any political principles;
nor does he defend it on the
ground that the platforms of the
three parties are Identical. Cam
paigns generally turn upon a few
issues, sometimes upon one, and
events do much to determine
which issue shall most absorb
public attention.
If the democrats, populists and
silver republicans were agreed
upon but one question, that ques-
ton might be important enough
to justify cooperation, although
all the parties differed on all 9TH
er subjects; but those who ad-
vocate union of the principal
reform forces against the com
mon enemy can point not to one,
but to anumber of reforms which
are demanded with equal emph-
asis by the democrats, populists
and silver republicans.
First-They are unalterably
opposed to gold monometallism.
Second-They demand the inn
mediate restoration of bimetal-
lism at the present ratio by the
independent action of the United
States.
Third-They oppose theretire.
meut of greenbacks.
Fourth-They oppose the issue
of paper money by National
banks.
Fifth-They oppose the issu
ance of interest bearing bonds in
time of peace.
Sixth-They favor income tax
as means of raising palt ol
the revenue necessary to admin
lister Federal Government.
Seventh-They favor the alb
clifton of trusts.
Eighth-They are opposed to
government by injunction.
Ninth-They are in favor OF
arbitration as a means of settling
disputes between labor and cap
ital.
Here are nine issues which are
not only important in themselv
es, but are now prominently be
fore the public.

Today as / sit In my lonely retreat,
My thoughts we're OF the old folks at home
The memories that came rushing backward
Were of youthful days, before started to
roam
now am tired of wandering TO and fro,
Though the sights are new and strange
I'm tired of it all, and back to my old home
My willing thoughts will range.
think of the time, when stood at mothers
knee
A baby then / was-when we lived on the
farm,
Where honesty and love prevailed;
And was sheltered safe from all alarm,
Then, was happy and joyful
knew not o woe or a care
was wild and free as the meadow lark,
When 1t scars through the sunlit air.
But now, how different, I'm alone
Wandering sadly to and froi
My restless spirit.can find no rest
know not where to go.
But yesterday visited what was once
My childhood's happy home
Everything Is changed since
started out to roam.
stranger lives there now;
And a strangers children play about
The old yard-tripping to and fro
With merry laugh and gieeful shout,s
So 1 must sadly wander,
Until Death brings release;
And when 1 cross the shining river
Maybe I'll find Peace
The peace that long have sought for,
But, since 1 left niy home have never found
But maybe l will find it
When I'm laid beneath the ground;
And when i am dead.
Lay me where the willows wave
Place q token of remembrance
Ger the friendless wanderers grave,

who inaugurated a strike have declar
cd that they would not work unless
they got what they demand and fur
thermore they would prevent all other
non union miners from working, in
order to make good those threats they
have been congregating togathsr to
prevent the Importation of miners. In
as much as those miners here would
not work the Operators sent to other
states for miners aud brought in several
hundreds but they would not let them
stop but sent them back to Alabama,
so last Wednesday 200 more all colored
arrived from Birmingham Ala, and a
fierce battle ensued where several were
killed, we do not know the exact, facts.
The report now is that l5killed and 27
wounded of the striking miners and
several were injured.
The Governor has refused to proteot
the imported miners but has sent troops
to disarm all people and protect pros
perity. We are opposed to all unions
that draws the color line and strikes. i

/ANINEYATIO OF NE "
ISLANDS.

It has been argued by some people
that the annexation of Hawaii was q
departure from the traditions and long
precedence establish by the American
people years ago. which would be an
infringement on the Monroe doctrine,
if the new acquisition was not contig-
ious thereto. In reply to this state
ment we will say that Alaska is not ad-
,jacent to or bordering on our coast OK
land, and again the United States owns
the Aleutian Islands, which extends
1000 miles further west then Hawaii.
The United States also owns 81 other
islands and group of islands in the
Pacific Ocean, besides the 13 islands in
the Caribbsan sea, which has been taken
possession of by our country, by an act
Of congress, dated August Is 1856, and
yet there was nothing said against the
acquisation of these islands, which Is
not near so valuable as our new in
tended acquisitions, but in the evolu-
ton Of our material greatness the time
has now come for US to reach out and
take those greater opportunities which
will be blessing to the human family
and rapid advancement for American
commerce, wealth, inventive genius
and skill. Let us .ake and keep them
