The consular reports from Cuba
now given to the public, as tar as
they GO, confirm all that has been
said by newspaper correspondents
and American visitors of character
and prominence who have told the
story of Cuba in it's wretched ness.
What Senator Proctor, for instance,
save, the newspaper correspondents
say, and the consuls coinside, though
each Of those parties testifies from a
different point of view.
The consular reports, it Is said, are
not all Of them given in full; passages
in some of them relating to private
matters and their publication being
not compatible with the public SER
vice." but it may we'll be believed
that these passages, II published
would conform to the rest and even
render darker the record.

are the official agents of our govern
ment in foreign parts. Their duties
are largely commercial. They are
required to report on the commerce
of the United States with the regions
to which they are accredited. They
are business men and not sensational
writer's, or indeed engaged ordinarily
in literary work. Nothing can be
more matter-of fact than the ordinary
consular report.
In the regular line of their duty,
our consuls have reported what has
been going'on in Cuba for the last
three years and the effect produced
on American interests by these
events. They have not been par
tisans either OF Spanish rule or the
insurrection. They have testified as
the business agents of the United
States.
The attention of Americans is now
directed to these reports. They show
what has been told by all the rest
that Spain has converted Cuba into q
hell ON earth and cannot, Ifshe would
put out the flames. This inferno hap
pens to be at our own doors. The
consuls do not suggest what we should
do about it. They only give a per-
fectly straightforward account Of the
situation.

Capital Ex-Congressman Funston
made q manly recantation of his
former silver sentiment at one of the
Second district county conventions
last week. The Second DISTRICTS
gubernatorial favorite son stated
frankly that he had formerly believed
in l6 TO but on thorough review of
the evidence on both sides of the case
had changed his mind. He asked to
be forgiven and promised never to do
so any more. The audience cheered
the speech to the echo. Nothing is
better settled than the position OF
Republicans in Kansas on the silver
foolishness.

The board having under considera-

of the Northrup Bank, the Allen

proposition to give the first $4,000
to the Bank of Humboldt at Al per

of A lien County at 81 per cent, and
the balance to the Northrups' Bank

fusing to accept the balance at 3 per

Humboldt at that rate.
The board opened the bids for the
medical practice of lola and Carlyle

FROM the experience of Consul
Brice at Matanzss it is evident enough
that If this government is to extend
any further relief to the reconcentra-
dos 1t must be done under the guns of
q man of war. The Kanaas City
Stars relief supplies excited such
anger and hostility that the men in
charge OF it were obliged to fly from
the town to save their lives. At the
risk of his life the American consul
remained three DAYS longer to dis
tribute the supplies, but finally he
was obliged to leave the city to escape
the mob. The mercy which the starv-
ing thousands for whose relief these
supplies were sent are receiving now
may be easily imagined. And the
futility of sending any more supplies
to them except at the point of the
bay Onet does not need argument.

Star: The United States has fought
five wars in the 100 years since the
Declaration of Independence. In each
one we have triumphed. In that
period England has fought six wars
not including conflicts with savages
in India and Africa. And she has
lost two-both to America. France
has engaged in six, and has lost two
one with the allied powers and one
with Germany. Prussia in the same
period has lost two out of five wars.
Austria has lost two and has gained
two, Spain has lost every war she
has undertaken in that period-unless
her ten years guerilla warfare with
Cuba may be called victorious.

world in terse terms that "the German
and Chinese governments had con-
cluded an agreement by the terms of
which China leases Kiao-Chou bay to
Germany for long term of years, the
territory coded embracing the whole
bay, the adjacent islands and the. prom
ontories north and south of the en-
trance. This territory, which is bound
ed landward by range of hills. is sur
rounded by neutral zone greater than
itself, in which China can do nothing
without Germany's consent. All rights
of sovereignty in the leased territory
are coded to Germany. Should Kiao-
Chou bay prove to be unfit for German
purposes, China undertakes to permit
Germany to select another point on the
coast and will take back Kiao-Chou. re-
imbursing Germany for all the money
it has spent there" The statement
withholds all information respecting
the rent to be paid. The form of lease
was chosen for the purpose of refuting
the view that the German occupation
of Kiao-Chou bay is to be the signal for
the partition of China and to maintain
the idea that China's sovereignty is not
to be altered. Germany's only purpose,

IF the saloons which are attached to all
of the hotels, from the first-class down
to the lowest lodging houses. In the
hotel saloons the statesmen get all of
the liquor that they can pay for, and
they do not care so very much about
having it at the capitol.
You will thus see that the reform
work before the people is not small, nor
easy. Much remains to be done. In
the meantime. the public agitation will
be continued. and it will have it's effect.
The writer has witnessed the gradual
growth of sentiment and it's marked
effect upon public men for a number of
years. And out of that experience the
people may be told that the work is
having its manifest effect upon those
who haves been in public life and who
now desire to serve the people in hon
orable and lucrative capacities.

among statesmen; less drinking in
public, and less drinking in private.
Therefore those whose hearts are set

Batting an Examiner.

During Euclid paper a recent ex-

siding examiner noticed that a young
man was constantly referring to some
thing concealed under his blotting pa
per. "Cribbing" is especially common

examiners have the bad habit of keep
ing their eyes very, WIDE open indeed.
This particular examiner quickly
swooped down and insisted on seeing

man blushed and stammered, but all in
vain. AT last, with great reluctance,

beautiful young lady with large, lus-
trous eyes. This" he .faltered, with

geant-at-arms was generally applaud


ed for his action.
Since congress reassembled liquors
have been handled quietly, but not
openly as formerly. The restaurant
keepers do not want to provoke public
comments, and the statesmen them
selves are not DESTROYS of counting mo-
toriety. AS yet there is no law forbid
ding the use of liquors in the capitol.
but the temperance people of the land
MAY be informed that the law of public
sentiment is strong enough to begin
the Punishment of the drink evil.
Only a couple of years ago anybody
who wanted drink of whisky, beer or
other alcoholic compound could walk
up to the counter of either of the two
capitol restaurants, and call for his
drink. and it would be served.
Things are different now. Men may
take seats at tables, order lunches, and
have their little glasses served at the
tables, but they cannot stand up before
everybody, raise their glasses to their
lips, throw back their heads, and swal-
low their potions publicly and fragrant
~. regardless of public opinion. This
is straw which shows how the wind is
blowing.
Temperance leaders intend to revive
that joint resolution, and they will in
sist upon its passage by the senate, as
well as by the house of representatives.
The people will watch congressional ac-
ton on this point, and they will note
how their congressman vote on the
subject. Many a congressman will vote
for the resolution solely because he
fears the temperance people at home,
and not because he is temperance man
himself or in favor of abolishing the
use of liquor in the capitol.
One thing at time, and that done
we'll, should satisfy the temperance
workers OF the country. They should
not. try to do too much at once. Let
them first abolish the use of liquor in
the capitol, and then they will have an
other work to perform-and a harder
work than they have yet attempted

by abolishing the use Of alcohol in the
capitol building. There must be q
crusade, in the future, covering the en-
tire District of Columbia. There are
too many saloons here. We must not
expect to abolish all of the saloons at
once. Those who come after us will
still have work to perform. But the
temperance workers must understand
that there are at least ten times as
many saloons in the national capital as
should be tolerated. even by the most
| liberal temperance workers. How are
we to go about this new reform for the
national capital?
First, you must understand that this
district is governed by three commits
soners appointed by the president. It
should be the duty of temperance work.
ers to demand of the president that he
appoint only sympathetic men to those
places. Next, the president should ap.
point chief of police who is a sym.
| pathetic man. Then our policemen
should be temperate men. instead Of,
as at present, men in uniforms who go
to the side doors of saloons, get their
whisky for nothing, and then go about
their beats, permitting all manner OF
violations of the law.
Finally, ten years in the future, tenn
! perance workers must take cognizance
