A Freebooter.

He is abroad in the land, more treacher-
Jus than the Spaniard, more bloodthirsty
than the Turk, and more destructive than
war, famine and pestilence combined.
He has many names.
Some call him Bacchus. the rosy god.
The black fiend of despair is filter name
Some style him Gambrinus.
He bloats his victims into false SEM
blance of health, yet just as surely leads
them to death. The demon of strong drink
loves to array hmselfin the garb of fashion
and responsibility, to throw around him
self the mantle of governmental license;
yet he is "devir' still, and yearly holds
to the lips of nearly a hundred thousand
victims the cup of shameful death and
consigns them to the drunkard's doom.
2 He has destroyed thousands of families,
swallowed up princely estates and revels in
beggary and crime.
Shall he not be outlawed?-Mrs. E.
Richmond.

Dear Uncle Sammy-Now that Spain
Has marched away salutfng,
And you have proved that you can shoot
And hit what you are shooting,
Please look around the corners here
See cruelties protected
By you, the willing victims slain
And suff' ring ones neglected.
'Tfs ceaseless, sad, inhuman war,
So bitter, black, accursed!
A fatal, foul delirium,
Unheard, unhealed, unmercied.
The Cubans cried to God and fought;
The men that Rum is staying
Are far below the fighting mark,
Are left no wish for praying.
These foes you haven't dared to whip
You fear to hit the Rummies-
There's where the u s. A. is weak,
And all your gunners dummies.
A great usurping body, these,
OF foreign name and habit;
Why should you run before their guns
AS timid as rabbit?
o. Yankee grit and Yankee dash,
A hero-led commotion
Can knock the Liquor Demon out
And drown him in the ocean!
Dear Uncle Sam, your brawny arm
Gods great demand to sway it
Can sweep this horror from the land.
The Traffic seize and slay it.
Then, why not order, Uncle Sam,
Your battleships and cruisers
With tested guns and bravest men,
To crush these proud abusers?
You hold the sword of God; to Him
The enemy surrenders;
He claims the nation, heel and keel,
AS Temperance Defenders.

charged with selling liquor unlawfully in

prevent that corrupt jury from doing any

Fidel G. Pierra, writing to Profess
sor C. B. Galbreath, of the Ohio State
Library, gives the following explana-
tion of the origin of the Cuban flag:
"The Cuban flag dates back to about
1850 or 1851, 1t has Masonic ori-
gin. and hence the triangle. The red
field is the emblem of war. The pur-
pose of the movement here in the
United States was to conquer the ISL
and. Southern people, fighting Ma
sons, were the leaders. The three
blue stripes represented the three de-
partments into which the island was
then divided. The white stripes were
put, believe, merely to divide the
blue The intention of the Southern
people who were interested in the
scheme was to make three States out
of the island
''The star which appears in the red
field has more remote origin. 1t was
the lone star of Texas. In New Or
leans, at about 1850, there existed the
Association of the Lone Star. They
assisted Narciso Lopez with money
and in other ways when he invaded
Cuba in 1851, AID he adopted the flag
of the association, suppose, out of
gratitude.
"When Carlos Manuel de Cespedes
began the revolutionary movement of
1868, he had another flag, but the peo-
pie of Puerto Principe and Santa Clara
raised the present flag, which was
finally adopted as the Cuban national
flag when the first constituent assem-
bly, came together IN 1869. ."-Cincin.

UNITED STATES LAND COURT.
Motion for a Rehearing in Jose Garcia Grant
Case Wa Granted-A Postponement-
Rogue Jacinto Jaramillo Case
on Trial.

The United States court of private
land claims, with Chief Justice Reed
presiding and all of the associate JUS
tees present, met as usual this morning
at 10 o'clock.
In the matter of the Nuestra Sonora
de Guadalupe Mine grant claim, No. 1855,
and the Abo grant claim, No. 206, con-
solidated, as the plaintiffs were unable
to produce important witnesses at this
time, the court granted Mr.. Catron's re-
quest for a pOStponement of the hearing
until next Monday, when the missing
witnesses must be on hand.
In the matter of the Jose Garcia grant,
which was confirmed in part at a pre-
vious term of the court, but no decree
was ever entered, the motion OF the
plaintiff, Mariana s. Otero. for Il rehear-
ing was granted. 1t appears that since
the original Judgment was entered the
court has concluded that there was not
sufficient evidence upon which to base a
confirmation. The court has granted the
respective attorneys permission to argue
this one point.
The hearing of testimony in the mat
ter of the Rogue Jacinito Jaramillo
grant in Rio Arriba county, No. 22s, is
now in progress, Mr.. Pope appearing
for the government and Messrs. Catron
Il Gortner representing the claimants,
Jose JaramillO ct al. This grant lies
within the boundaries of the confirmed
Juan Jose Lobato grant, which has
been surveyed and the survey approved.

OF Gov. Princes lecture at the court
house last night, one who heard it has
this to say: sit was a wonderful story
and remarkably well told, and those who
failed to hear it missed a great treat.
What a lesson it was in geography, in
adventure and discovery!
One seemed to see Coronado and his
band creeping up the Pacific coast from
his starting point, somewhere west of
the city of the Montezumas, until they
reached California, and thence turning
eastward the nearer followed them into
and through Arizona, New Mexico, Kan
sas and Missouri, probably touching the
Panhandle of Texas and a corner of the
Indian Territory.
They must have passed very near the
geographical center of the United States,
excluding Alaska, which is supposed to
be nea Fort Riley in Kansas.
Let us hope that Governor Prince will
publish these interesting lectures and
thus thousands besides ourselves will
have the pleasure of reading them.
