The recent spell Of weather, so I'M
usually cold for this season, has probably
brought the football season in Alma to
an unexpected end. The campus is in
such shape that game here is nearly
impossible and all efforts TO procure an
outside game have failed. Considerable
dissatisfaction is rife on account of
Olivet's course during the present sea-
son. They have owed Alma a return
game for over year but have steadily
refused to name date. Saginaw de-
sires a game on Thanksgiving but this
is contrary to Alma presidents.

A FADHLI BABY.

We went to village called Abr

taken to the door Of larger dar and
asked If we wished TO 60 in, says the
Geographical Journal We did not
know if we were wanted. so made an
indefinite answer. There was a diff
ference of opinion, and at last they
said the bib should go in; so | crossed
the court and entered the house and
had hardly done so, when my hand was
seized and l was dragged by a man
through black darkness round and
round. l stepped high and as quickly
as I could rushed after him. At the
third round l saw little light shining
on the toughest possible earthen steps
and was pulled into a little room,
where l was greeted with cries of
amazement by some women, and then
continued my way unaided to the top
of the tower. The parapets were or
namented with gazelle horns.
After some time ! wanted to go
down, but l was on my way taken to
large room where manners demand
ed ! should settle down for coffee
Everyone was very kind and for great
er friendliness a naked baby, four
months old, was placed in my hands.
When l wished 20 return it was made
to sit on my knee. 1t soon kindly cried
and was, to my JOY, removed. 1t had
never in its life been completely
washed, though several large spots
and trimmings had been painted on it's

suppose you dependent and deny you
the right to longer rebel against the
cruelties which Spain would subject
you to. In short to ally the United
States with Spain, against Cuba should
cause the blush of shame to rise to
the cheek of every American patriot,
who has any love or respect for the
flag which is supposed to be the en-
blem of freedom and not slavery. That
is what intervention without recogni-
ton means. 1t does not mean war
with Spain, it does not mean the driv-
ing of Spain, or a single Spaniard from
the west Indies, or anywhere else. 1t
means simply that Cuba must take
the medicine that Spain prescribes for
her without murmuring, on pain of
war with Spain and the United States
combined.
Is there an American so base, so
lost to every principle of right and
justice and patriotism that he would
entertain for the millionth part of a
second, proposition so diabolical as
that? God forbid ! and it is to the
everlasting credit of our senator in
Washington that he needed not the
backing that the telegram referred to
intended to give him. Senator Turner,
as he sat there in the senate chamber
of the United States, listening to the
weakened arguments of the bond
holding, bloodsucking contingent Of
these United States, by their mouth
pieces in congress, realized that far
away toward the western sea was a
constituency of as strong a race of
pioneers as ever graced a state, and
that among them all there was not a
dozen who would believe such rot as
he was forced to listen to, and such as
our contemporaries minority report
would be.
No wonder he turned loose the
broadsides of his powerful eloquence.
No wonder that he stirred that dis
tinguished audience as it never had
been stirred before. With logic
born of the eternal truth, with an elo-
quence born of burning patriotism
and true sympathy for the oppressed
Cuban. 1t is not surprising that the
cringing tools of corruption quailed
before the terrible onslaught of that
master mind, no wonder that there
was sensation there that day. What
was Senator Turner's text? Dear
reader, it was what will be the slogan
Of the Evergreen state, the grand
young state that bears the name of
the first American who conceived
what freedom meant,it was: No recog-
milton, no intervention.

RITZVILLE, APRIL 20, 1898.
THE NATIONS POLICY.

Congress has spoken. The edict
has gone forth. 1t is compromise
in which little over one-half the
members finally agreed. One hundred
and fifty-six representatives and thirty
five senators have little or no faith in
it, and do not believe it expresses the
wishes of the people or meets the re-
Yuirements of the case; but it is done,
and we all hope that it will be well in
the end. But with all our hoping,
fears will be entertained that mis-
take has been made in not recognizing
the independence of Cuba as repub-
lie in language capable of but one
construction. We believe the time
will come, and perhaps very soon,
when this will be apparent to us all,
and we are proud of the men who rep
resent this state in the halls of
congress, in that they stood firm to
the last for measure that meant
something certain and definite to start
with in respect to Cuba's ultimate
freedom and independence. In the
future, when, perhaps, congress is
wrestling with the vexed question OF
what or who is the government of
Cuba, Turner and Lewis and Jones
can say: Gentlemen, you had better
have settled the question by acknowl-
edging the government of Cuba on the
10Th day of April, 1898. We believe
that if the first section of the resolu-
tions found on the first page of this
paper had read: The government OF
the United States hereby recognizes
the republic of Cuba as the true and
lawful government on that island,
there would be no occasion for the
fourth section, and the doubts that
will in all probability be felt, and
possibly expressed by some, in refer
ence to the sincerity of this govern
ment in the declaration contained
therein.
