SOME of our contemporaries hold out
the idea that as the annexation OF Cal
ifornia and other States and territories
on the Pacific coast and in the Basin
region brought prosperity, so the an
nexation of Cuba and Porto Rico will
now bring better times. They fail to
comprehend that California and the
regions adjoining poured into the
worlds treasury millions OF gold and
silver, which inflated the volume of
money to such degree that prices
scared skyward. The banker and
bondholder of that day became so
alarmed that they had the demonetiza-
tion of gold under serious considera-
ton. Instead OF Cubo and the other
West India islands adding anything to
our money supply, it is certain that
they will take money from us. AS
money flows out to be invested in the
Spanish American islands, the scarcity
at home will be more pronounced; /;
prices, unless some unforeseen circum-
stance intervenes, will fall; and an
nexation, instead of being harbinger
of good times to our agricultural
classes, will only add to the burdens
under which they are now groaning.
The investor will prosper.

To the Patrons OF Ironton Public
School.

Next Monday morning the doors of
the Public Schools will be opened and
the teachers of the same present, to
receive every child of school age in
the district. We are very anxious for
all pupils of the school to enter the
first day. First, that we may lose no
time in classification; Second, that all
may get an even start; Third, that
each and all may find out what studies
they are to pursue and get books be-
fore they are all sold. A special order
for books for the pupils of this district
has been made by Mr.. II. Farmhouse
and will likely be on hand by the mid
die of this week. The forenoon ses-
sion on next Monday will be devoted
to classification OF new pupils, to the
giving out of the new books for which
the pupils exchanged their old ones on
Aug Is, and to the giving to each pu-
pill list of the books, by the teachers,
to be used by him or her during the
coming term.
All pupils will assemble and and re-
main in the same room in which they
were at the close os last school, until
they be further notified. In the after
noon, the pupils will reassemble with
books and necessary material for study.
Three gold medals will be given to
the zaost meritorious pupils of the
High School, by prominent citizens, at
the close of school.
First, On class standing.
Second, On original composition.

Our goldbug friends say this is an
excellent crop year, therefore the pro-
ducer will not care for the silver ques-
tion or any other financial subject. The
farmer has had excellent crops in other
years, still the agitation for financial
reform has gone right on. When a
good crop year and good price year
coincide, then the farmer will be
happy. What article the farmer has
for sale commands a normal price?
Dollar wheat is DOW selling for little
over sixty cents, and it looks like the
farmers OF the West and North will
burn corn this winter, instead of coal,
because il is the cheaper fuel. Wea are
sure TO hear the pitiful whine OF ''over-
production" between this and the
election.

JAMAICA, the largest of Great Brit
AIMS possessions in the caribbean Sea,
is asking to be turned loose by the
mother country, in order that it may
join the United States. The gold
standard has ruined its agriculture.
How much better off it will be as a
province of this country is not clear.
The gold standard that is running
agriculture In every land where it has
been adopted, is in operation here.

THE following lines, handed US by an
old friend, eyinces that sturdy faith
which Is said to be able to remove
mountains. The REGISTER hopes he
may live to see his hope, born of this
faith, end in fruition:
These truths we all must see,
Though weak and sinful we may be.
The Lord of hosts still reigns DER all,
The host of Satan then must fall.
BY means and ways we may not know,
He brings the end designed below.
There's victory comes to those who fight,
Not for gain, but for the right.
With conscience clear how firm they stand,
And peace enjoy with God and man.
While guilt makes towards of US all,
Who rise to strive, who sin and fall.
Then let us do the just and right,
And, strong in faith, enjoy the light.

And God shall wipe away all teal
from their eyes.-Rev. VIII.
All night the muttering thunders roared,
The earth in weeping lay;
Till sunshine came at break of down,
And kissed the tears away.
All night the vivid lightning flashed,
And tempest wild held sway;
Till sunshine came with morning light,
And kissed the tears away.
So like our lives by tempests wrought,
In dangers dark arrayed;
Shall with the resurrection morn,
ETHEREAL calm embrace.
The dying patriot thus may hear,
The lowering angel say:
"Thy tears like dew drops on the grass,
Shall all be wiped away"

F1tzhugh Lee for Senator.

The report comes from Washington
that Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee intends
to be a candidate for United States
Senator from his State. 1t is to the
people of Virginia, of course, that
Gen. Lee must look for his election,
but the people of the nation will wish
him success in his ambition.-JeferSOn
city Tribune.
For what reason? Has Fitzhugh Lee
eyer had one word to say in favor OF
Democratic principle as enunciated by
the Chicago platform? If he has, we
confess we are ignorant of the fact,
and would like the Tribune point US to
the when and the where. Our under
starding has always been that he is in
close political touch with Grover Cleve-
land and believer in the single gold
standard. Have Virginia Democrats
no fitting material in their ranks
men outspoken and Jealous tor the
cause?
Does the Tribune think that the
Democracy of Virginia will permit
itself to be represented by a man, no
matter how great his family connec-
tion, who contemns the principles of his
party as set forth in its national plat
form?
The truth is, we have a number of
expediency journals in this State who
hoist the flag of Democracy from force
of habit or for revenue, who are will
ing to advocate anything that seems
likely to bring immediate success in
preference to the ultimate but defer
red triumph of recognized principle.
They seem to have no political con-
victions, or to be able to lay them
aside when it suits their convenience,
as they do a garment that is no longer
comfortable. We do not assert that
the Tribune is of this class, but it wob-
bles on one or two points.
Is there a flop in contemplation?
The last flop from Democratic princi-
piles in this State was engineered by
Ex-Governor Francis, and it landed
him and his followers on the arid
sands, far. far away from water. Are
we about to witness another exhibition
of the same natureP
Local self-government is one of the
cardinal doctrines of Democracy. The
right of a people to govern themselves
in accordance with their own ideas is
q fundamental doctrine of the party;
yet the Tribune talks about the annex
alton OF the Philippines and Cuba as
though no one lived there who had any
of the rights of human beings. From
the way 1t speaks of Cuba one might
readily believe it was leading stock
holder in the Sugar Trust. Dem.
ocratic papers perhaps may subordin-
ate the financial question to a lot of
froth about expansion, until we will
have the campaign of 1894 duplicated,
which would be an unfortunate thing
for Senator Cockrell.
Would the Tribune have the Repre-
from Southeast Missouri be-
lieve that Senator Cockrell would be
glad to see Fitzhugh Lee or Grover
Cleveland on the floor of the U. S.

every department OF our Govern

in some particulars entirely wrong. 1t
may lack knowledge Of all the facts, 1t
may underestimate the difficulties that
have beeu encountered. 1t may mis-
place the blame. But it is not wrong
in its verdict that there is blame.
Whether there have been deliberate
crimes against the lives of our soldiers,
or the blunders OF Ignorance and in
competence that are as bad as crimes,
the public does not yet know.
"Bnt it does know that in Cuba they
were but half-clothed, half-fed, halt
