Sident of Oskaloosa, where he has re-
sided for ten years. Though born in
Little Rock. Ark Aug. 4. 1857. he was
reared on farm in La Crosse, County.
Wis. having been placed in the hands
of Mr.. Nathan Smith and wife. when
he was quite young.
The mother of this subject was
free woman, while his father was
slave. According to the slave laws OF
Arkansas, the mother was forced to flee
from that state while George was
baby thus making him an orphan al
most from birth. To this day he has
never seen or heard from his father and
when only four years old his mother
died of consumption.
When twenty years OF age George
left the farm and entered Mary land Uni
versity at Beaver Dam Wisconsin when
he finished his education. soon after
leaving school he engaged in the News
paper work in Lacrosse where he later
owned and published successfully the
Lacrosse Evening Star" and wisconsin
Labor Advocate" In 1856 he went
West remaining three years after which
time he located where he now lives and
engaged ia the publication Of the Negro
Solicitor" through which he has become
distinguished as deep thinker and able
writer In August last he suspended the
pubiction of the solicitor" and is now
engaged in contributing weekly and
monthly articles for many leading dai.ies
and magazines among which is the Suu-
dav Des Moines Leader. Mr.. Taylor is
preparing to enter the lecture field in tie
near future and for this work he is cspec.
tally qualified. Though the Bystander
has and does now LITER with Mr.. Taylor's
political views. we are frank to admit
that he is entitled to station among the
leading men of the race.

HOW VAIN MANS BOASTS.

Special to the BYsTANDEK'
Oh mortal man thy boasts are vain,
Thou on the future hast no claim
Thy days swift passing are but few.
Thy silver cord is loosening too.
The twilight shades are drawing near,
The hand of death is lurking here.
Immortal soul why long to stay,
Where all is subject to decay.
Where beauty fades, where hopes are
lost.
Where sorrows seas are seldom crossed,
Where every laugh doth cost moan,
And every smile smothered groan.
Thy home is not here immortal soul.
Thou here canst reach no lasting goal.
Decay is stamped on all below.
A fading beauty is all we know.
we glittering stars. thou sil7ery moon
Sun. earth and sky shall vanish soon.

A CRISIS APPROACHING.
BOARD OF INQUIRY EXPECTED TO RE-
PORT THIS WEEK.
prororntions Continue With Increased
Activity. The Initial Blow Expected III
Anv Moment. Independence OF CuDa
May be Recognized by Uncle SAM

Tho expectation in Washington is
that the president will take some de'
cidea action on the Spanish question
before the close of the week. 1t is
thought that he will either recognize
the independence Of Cuba or take the
preliminary steps towards such recog'
milton. This will be followed either
by the backdown on the part OF Spain
or war. It is said in congress that ii
Spain means war she will not be allow
cd to take her own time about it.
The report of the board OF inquiry
ia expected this week. There is not
the least doubt it will will show the
destruction OF the Maine was the result
of foul play. On receipt Of this. the
president will demand Of Spain not on.
" PREPARATION for this outrage, but will
insist upon the restoration OF peace in
Cuba at once. Ii Spain yields to oil
demands war will be averted. Other
wise there will DO war. The intention
is to recognize the independence OF
Cuba as soon as the report of the Maine
hoard has been received, and the pre-
limiuary steps in the direction OF com.
mupicating with Spain have been
taken. -.
The president is exhibiting consider.
able uneasiness about the safety OF
Americans in Cuba. People with
whom he has talked on the Cuban
question says that his conversation III
dicates anxiety on this point.

rCOunterfeitjnc in Prison.

A counterfeiting plant has been dis
covered within the walls CT the State
prison at Folsom, Cal. The work WAS
done in the engine room by convicts.
L. H. Coyne aud James Brown, and so
far as known. only nickles were coined
presumably because no silver could be
obtained. The men were detected in
tho act of manufacturing bogus coins
by guards who had been told of what
was going on, When the officers rush
ed in, Coyne aud Brown leapea through
a window and threw their dies and
crucibles into canal leading to the
American river. A large number OF
we'll executed fve.cent pieces were
found. They we're made from bah
bit taken from the engines, which
run through the prison grounds
for the purpose of hauling rock
from the quarries. 1t is thought
that tbs dies or moulds wore not made
by the men who coined the money
but by some OF the expert counterfeit
crs in the prison. The impression
prevails among the officers that it wal
the intention of the convicts to coin
great quantity Of nickles and then shil
them out on the freight cars, where
their friends on the outside could give
them in exchange for opium. Severa
of the bogus coins have been found il
circulation ia the town of Folsom.
