What Makers of Moonshlne Whisky
Get.
From Tuesdays Fort Smith Times.
Judge Rogers returned Sunday from
his vacation and held short session of
court yesterday morning.
Bowman Ray and James Nelson, two
men who had assisted in making moon
shine whisky in Scott county, entered
pleas of guilty. Nelson said that they
had to do work of some kind in order to
feed their families, and that they went
to work for the owner of the still for
fifty cents day. After they had
worked about a week someone came
along and told them they were assisting
in an unlawful business, so he and Ray
came to Dardanelle and surrendered
themselves to the federal authorities
there. Nelson also said that he had
failed to collect his pay for the work he
had done, but that Ray had been
fortunate enough to collect the amount
due him.
The men were such pitiful looking OBJ
jects that Judge Rogers suspended their
sentences and told them to 20 home and
seek an honest employment.

Seventy-First Birthday.

Yesterday Mrs. c. G.. Scott, the
venerable and venerated mother of P
d. and Miss Fannie Scott, passed the
list milestone on life's highway.
Mrs. Scott can be credited with being
the Oldest actual resident of Van Buren,
having come here in 1899.
Living as she does surrounded by
children of whom she may we'll feel
proud, and occupying a position in the
hearts of her friends and associates that
can only be gained by long years of
association and appreciation of merit
and worth, she may we'll feel that she
has not lived in vain.
The Argus extends congratulations to
Mrs. Scott upM her arrival to this good
day and wishes her many happy re-
turns. Argus Sept. 10th.
The PRESS wishes to heartily concur
in the above. Sixty six years is long
period to turn back to and call to mind
the pleasures and trials of those many
years. And it is very gratifying to
Mrs. Scott's many friends in Van
Buren to know she is so favored as to
be able to gather about her in her de-
clining years devoted children and
grandchildren, to brighten and make
glad the heart and life of one who has
so long looked after their welfare and
comfort. Mrs. Scott has two daugh-
ters and two sons and six grandchildren,
who with the exception of a son,
Stuart, were gathered about her at
her seventy first anniversary dinner on
the 9th of September, 1898.
1t is the prayer of THE PRESS that she
may enjoy many such scenes.

ANNEXATION NEWS.

The reports upon the prospects of
annexation are the most encouraging
we have had for some time. 1t is
presumable that the tactics followed
out by Senator Davis have enabled
him to feel assured that the joint res
olution will prove a certainty, where
ythe passage of the treaty was doubt
full, and by concentrating attacks up
on the treaty has drawn the fire of
the opponents of annexation, leaving
them very little to go on with.
From newspaper accounts. from Of
fetal and private letters, it looks as
if the end was now not so far off. Sew
eral times it has looked that way, but
the cup has been dashed from our lips.
This time. even those who were sllep-
teal of the treaty passing seem to
think that annexation will pass by
the joint resolution, and the people
of these Islands will become one with
the United States.
The amendment of Senator Bacon
of Georgia will be defeated in the
Senate. OF that there can be little
doubt. the true blue annexationists
are too strong in the Senate to allow
that to go through. In point of fact,
the majority in both houses is so pow
erful that any filibustering tactics
can be beaten by sheer strength. The
party in favor of annexation can wear
out those who are opposed to it.

A Blue Streak.

This is an old expression,
going like a blue streak. /"
The Tribune bicycle people
have taken it up and are
manufacturing a bicycle by
that name. 1t is all that it's
name implies, being painted a
bright shade of blue, and so
easy to run that the rider
looks when passing like a
blue streak.
We received a shipment Of
them by the last steamer, and
they are now ready for in
spection and sale. They come
in three models for ladies and
gentlemen at sos, $85 and
800. 1t is not necessary to
reiterate what the good points
of the Tribune wheels are.
Every bicyclist knows that
they are a standard make and
one of the best wheels ever
put upon the market. They
will stand more hard usage
and more rain and mud than
any other make.
Our stock of TRIBUNES
is complete. We have them
in Black, Blue and in Black
Striped with Gold.
lkWhile we advise all custom
ers to pay a little more money
and get a standard make, yet
for those who do not wish to
put so much money into a
wheel we have imported a
Columbus wheel, ladies' mod
ell, and a Jimmy, mans mod
ell, which we can sell you at a
much lower price. They are
very good wheels, strong, and
made Of good material,
1t costs nothing to call and
look over our stock and we
are always pleased to show
you what we have on sale.

IMPENDING WAR.

Besides what one reads of in the
newspapers, private letters all speak
of the war spirit in the United States.
1T Will be impossible to hold the peo-
pie, writes one, "if the fact is PROV
ed that the Maine was blown up by
Spanish agency" There are plenty
of instances on record where the war
fever has struck a people and where
the government has almost against
its will been obliged to declare war.
That the situation is very grave is
evident. But President Mckinley
seems the right man in the right
place. He wishes to avoid war if pos
sible, but at the same time he is pre-
pairing for war The purchase of the
. two protected cruisers, the Amazonas
and the Abruall, from Brazil, which
are now called respectively the New
ORR ans and the Albany, are cases in
point. 1t is also evident that the many

\ SOUND REPORT.

Benjamin Cuffs report upon the
attitude of the Hawaiians towards an
neXation has been made public and
will have a distinct effect upon the
opinion of both houses of Congress.
Mr.. Cuff came here on behalf of Sen
ator Frank j. Cannon. He had been
resident here and spoke Hawaiian flu
emily. He made thorough eXamina-
tion of the mental attitude of the Ha-
waiians.

Mr.. Cluff to reach a result than It
probably would be for any other. The

Mormons, are pronounced in their
opinions one way or the other. There

ment that of the rest the majority are
in favor of monarchy, but are willing

States as against the continuation of
the present condition of affairs. may
also be taken as fact The balance
therefore is strongly in favor of an
neXation.
The plans of the Royalists as set
forth by Mr.. Cuff show the simplicity
of those misguided people. The va
rious nations of the earth are not suf-
ficiently interested in Hawaii to take
any active part in the restoration of
monarchy. They are interested IN

the independence of Hawaiians. They
would be a mere cipher. The United
States, however, offers the Hawaiians
position as one of sovereign peo-
pie. In the one case they would be
thrust aside and 90 to the wall. in
the other there is the opportunity of
rising.

had built for pleasure, will he, in "A
majority of cases, used as torpedo
boats. Activity in both naval and mil
itary departments is great.
But it is not the Maine that the
United States win fight about. The
plan of the President will be TO inter
fere in Cuba and insist that the hor-
rors on that Island should come to an
end. The United States will inform
Spain that she intends to supply relief
TO the suffering pacificados when and
how she pleases, and will support her
desires with an armed force if nee
essary. This will undoubtedly bring
about a collision, unless Spain takes
very different tone to what she has
been i'm the habit of using. Moreover
Spain has plenty of fighting blood,
and whether her ministry might wish
it or no, the war spirit might force
on hostilities, where the statesman
would council Cancellation. When two
nations feel as belligerently towards
one another as Spain and the United
States, it requires but a spark to blow
up the magazine.
One means there may be of peace,
and that is through the large financial
houses. This has been ably reasoned
in a series of magazine articles recent
~ Their transactions with Spain
are such that they may be unable to al
low her to fight, but this does not look
quite likely, because the Spanish gov
eminent, it is well known, received n
loan, which was practically a war
loan, only the other day. And it
should also be kept in mind that
though these mighty financial princes
sometimes throw their influence on
the side of peace, they are also, if it
suits their pockets, quite ready to stir
up war.
1t is said of the late war between
Greece and Turkey, that it was stirr-
ed up by the financiers of Europe
That to them was due the massacre Of
the Armenians and TO them the dis
comfiture of Greece. The hand of this
huge and mysterious money power is
seen in the affairs of Spain and Cuba:
will it. or can it, appear in the affairs
of the United States?
1t is mysterious power indeed,

of thousands and with the destinies
of nations. One almost doubts
whether it exists, but it is certainly a
factor which cannot be ignored.

The petition which was sent for
ward to the United States purporting
to come from twenty thousand native
Hawaiians, has been analysed as to
the names, as was stated in The Star
at the time it was sent, and has prov
ed fraudulent in number of cases.
From information received at the
time, this journal was well aware that
names were written on the petition
which were not genuine. The facts,
as found, appear in another column,
and the evidence is overwhelming.
The petition was examined by an ex-
pert and also by "A gentleman thor
oughly acquainted with the Islands.
