IN LEES OPINION
The Cuban Government Is Only a
Paper Affair

WASHINGTON, April 13.-In view Of
the general announcement that the For
eign Relations Committees of the two
houses of Congress would make their re-
ports on the Cuban question today, the
early attendance of the public was sur
prisingly small. There was only hand
full of people at each of the doors when
they were opened at o'clock, and it
was almost noon before the galleries
were filled. Those who secured the front
seats in the Senate gallery held to them
persistently, however, under the convic..
tion that the day had in store more pos
sibilities in the way Of excitement and
possible development than any preced-
ing day. The Senate committee did
not begin business until II o'clock and
the meeting was understood to be merely
formal, as the essential work of prepar-
ing it's report and formulating the res
olutions to be presented had been prac-
tically completed yesterday. There
were some additions to the report on ac
count Of General Lees testimony, but
these were not material, as his state
ments did not add anything to the COM
mittee's real stock of information. It
was felt, however, that his statement
would be valuable in rounding out and
completing the report and in support
ing the committees position. His opin-
ions were in line with those of the ma
jority Of the committee and were highly
valued.
The statement in General Lees test;-
mony which had an influence with the
more radical prof. Cuban members of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
was to the effect that the present Cuban
government was a government on paper
only. He said, however, that he had no
real facts on the subject, and that this
was merely an opinion.
General Lee also said that It was not
true that the lights in Havana went
out on the night of the explosion.

5 ON A TORPEDO BOAT DURING THE WAR, ;


When the U. S. torpedo-boat Porter,
started across to Havana on April ~,
it was rough-rough even for the gulf
stream -and that day and night showed
that the life on board was going to be a
struggle with nature "a test Of physical
endurance The POrter's motion In such
sharp sea as runs nearly all the time
off the coast CT Cuba was, to say the
least, uncomfortable. The roll was from
thirty to fOrty-five degrees each way,
and twenty-five times a minute, with
occasionally an extra roll thrown in,
which went beyond the registering limit
of the indicators, and made one. wonder
why the boat took the trouble TO come
back, it seemed so much easier just to
go on all the way around.
To rest and sleep in such conditions
was very difficult, and only possible
when physical exhaustion oyercame
every other feeling, and then the sleep
was so broken that it illfitted one to re-
new the exacting duties Of handling the
delicate mecbanisms Of the boats, or ex-

late. But although the boats were worn
out by the arduous service they had been
through, both the boats and their crews
had established records for endurance
which excited the admiration Of foreign
experts in such matters.

date. No great pereeptible change was
noticeable in the business affairs of the
country, because the 49th and 50th con-
crosses which had charge of the legisla-
ton incident to the four years for which
Mr.. Cleveland was elected, were not in
harmony with him, the Senate being
republican and the house democratic in
both congresses. Therefore, no legiSla-
tion could be enacted which would radi-
cally change any Of the existing laws
affecting the taxes or the financial In
terests of the country. Mr.. Cleveland's
second election and Inauguration were
under entirely different circumstances.
In 1893, when Mr.. Cleveland came into
power second time, both houses Of con-
gress were democratic, and the power to
change existing laws became a matter
of will with the new executive and con-
gress. Mr.. Cleveland in his inaugural
address declared that the first purpose
for which he was elected was the repeal
ing of the tariff law known as the Nc
Kinley law. Now, let us see what of the
effect.
Manufacturers and merchants immedi-
ately became alarmed. The merchant
would not give orders and would not buy
because he had been told by the Presi-
dent that protection would be removed
and goods would become cheaper. The
manufacturer felt that he could not
afford to manufacture on his own
account when everybody was waiting for
cheaper goods from abroad, made from
cheaper material than he could buy.
And every consumer purchased as little
as possible in anticipation of much lower
prices.
Thus it came about that the factories
were forced TO close, that the working
men lost employment and this soon dis
turbed every branch Of business, and in
conjunction with the democratic Wilson
tariff, gave us the four frightful years Of
democratic rule that have well nigh
ruined this, the richest and therefore
highly prosperous country. Shall we
vote to have another such experience, or
do we know how to profit from lesson
received.

. A HAlloween Party.

A number of our young people were
mingling with spooks and the uncanny,
which spooks are supposed to surround
themselves with. on Monday night.
The pastor and wife of the Methodist
church, together with Mr.. c. 7. Jameson,
had invited the young people of their
Sunday-schoOl classes to the parsonage,
to participate in an old time halloween
party.
Approaching the house one could see
on each side Of the veranda steps, jack-o-
lanters, with their hideous faces aglow,
and upon entering the door a full-sized
spcOk, uncanny, clamy, and phantom
like, greeted the guest, and invited the
new conner into the dim candle-lit room.
The house was decorated with corn
stalks, corn, ETC., and at every turn, a
spoOk would be at ones side, and in the
course Of the evening, the visitors were
invited to the garret, where, seated
on cushions and amid a profusion of
halloween decorations, dOughnuts and
coffee were served. Dishes lined with
cabbage leaves and made from pumpkins
and gourds were used, and the coffee was
dipped from a large brass kettle, sus-
pended from tripod, by spook who
carried a broom stick, and who knows
but what she used the stick to
stir the contents Of the big kettleF
SpOOks are queer creatures as the
feast progressed wierd stories were told
in words SO realistic that the guests
trembled with fear lest they should be
carried away by the spOOks, who fear no
man.
Many halloween games were INDUCED
in; one being particularly laughable. A
piece of soap and an apple are suspended
from the ceiling on level with ones
mouth, and the soap and apple being
swung back and forth, you must try and
get bite Of the apple, but only the
lucky ones miss the soap.
Such good time the guests never had
before and Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Waggoner
proved themselves royal entertainers.

BILE in Skaters operations was due to
the fact that the command was sent into
the field without the proper ratio Of
pack-mules. Before San Juan Hill the
men we're on half ratiOns on account of
lack OF supplies, and were out of tobacco,
which is very necessary to the well-being
Of a soldier.
Towards the end Of the fight, when he
was going to the rear, the sight of the
road was indescribable. ALI the broken
splints, bloody bodies, helpless suffering
which drags its weary length to the rear,
are so much the more appalling than any
thing else in the world that words do not
mean anything to one who has not seen it.
Men half-naked, men sitting down on
roadside utterly spent, men hopping on
one foot with o rifle for a crutch, men
out Of their minds from sunstrOke, men
dead, and men dying. The story Of the
bravery, patience, and fortitude Of our
men is admirably illustrated and de-
scribed in Mr.. RemingtOn's article.

PROTECT THE DAIRYMEN.

PROTECT THE DAlRYMEN.
THE voters Of this section undoubtedly
comprehend the damage that would re-
suit to its BUSINESS interests If manu-
facturers Of oleomargarine were allowed
to prepare their product in imitation Of
butter and market 1t as such. Such a
procedure would cripple the dairy in
terests almost beyond recovery. While
Ohio has very excellent law providing
for the sale Of oleo as such and with
severe penalties for any sale Of it for
butter it appears that some 100000
pounds Of Oleomargarine is annually
prepared in imitation of butter and sold
as such in the state Of Ohio, causing
loss of at least $1,0OO,0O0 to the dairy
interests. This condition is a serious
reflection upon the efficiency and merit
of the administration of Dairy and Food
Commissioner Blackburn who is a candi-
date for reelection on the republican
ticket the fall.
The situation and the duty Of the
dairy men and the voters Of this section
is forcibly given in the following ex-
tract from an article in the Ohio Farmer
from Mr.. E. F. Webster, president of the
Ohio Dairy Union, under the caption
"Mr. Blackburn should be defeated
"The enforcement of "Filled Cheese"
laws, state and national, he's immensely
benefited the dairy industry of the Unit
ed States. If now suitable oleomarga-
rine laws can be generally enforced,
the great dairy industry of the country,
still languishing because of the disas-
trous competition of oleOmargarine
masquerading under the name and in
the semblance Of butter, will have fair
chance for life in the markets, but not
otherwise. Laws fOrbidding the man
ufacture or sale of Oleomargarine col
ored to resemble butter are being en-
forced in many of the dairy states and
the same result can be secured in Ohio.
1t is Of vital interest to dairymen and
farmers generally that this be done.
1t is we'll known that the dairy and
food department Of Ohio was created at
the request Of the dairymen Of the state.
It is the sworn duty Of our commissioner
to enforce our oleomargarine law. II
is the privilege OF the dairymen for
whom the department was created to in
sist that this law be enforced, It Is
their duty to support commissioner
who will enforce it, and 1t is equally
their duty to defeat one who will moi

IT seems that the sole difficulty Of
having good dirt roads all the time is ia
keep out Of the water. 1t Is the narrow
tired wagon and water that makes ruts
and mud holes. If broad-tIed wagons
were used, and the water not PERMITTED
to stand on the surface there will be moi
ruts or mud holes. These evils can be
prevented by having the road properly
drained and graded, and permitting only
wide tires on heavy wagons, and by con-
stant watch, prevent the beginning Of
mud holes. We think such means will
make much better roads than we now
have and the cost is small.
