The unfortunate sin committee mat
ters" from the upper ''eend,'' when it
came his time to put in, was loaded
with an illustration so suited to his
special political palate-but so putrid-
that when the subject matter began to
flow the preacher spectators lad to
leave the. house and an unfortunate
buzzard passing over came in contact
with the aged, whisker-grown affluvia
of Gleave's speech and had ito vomit all
over town. This is no joke, and that
buzzard broke for the Klondike to avoid
yellow fever.
Finally the nomination was made
unanimous. When the General was led
up he loud" that "he would vote for
the devil if the Republicans nominated
him." This is'one of the reason why all
republicans should stand by him. "He
is going to leave blue streak behind
him too in this district" We knew
that, or rather black one.
The convention adjourned in full
feather with hurrahs for Walker.

The value of good roads to the agri-
cultural interests of II community can
scarcely be over estimated. Notwith-
standing Tazcwoll's great wealth wo
have, probably, the worst roads in

discredit to us. We have talked with
persons who have been over tho cnstcrn

tell us that under tho management
there tho roads wero first put on "a
good grade, and then finished ina man
ncr which makes riding and hauling
over them an absolute pleasure inst cad
of II hardship and torture. In fact these
roads are said To be the best in South

FREE CUBA' >#
THE SLOGAN.

Many Prominent Congressman are not
at all Pleased With President Nc.
Kinley's POlicy.---Spain has not
Receivei the Message in the Pro-
per Light, They Claim.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-This
morning a score of prominent con-
gressmen of both parties were out in
strong opposition to the presidents
peace policy. They Insist that Cuba
must be given immediate freedom-Do,
food, and that Spain must be driven
from the island. ''Free Cuba" is the
slogan, and it is quite evident today
that the president aud his close ad-
visers cannot hold congress to any
other purpose. In administration cir
cles great surprise at the reception of
the message is expressed. The war
feeling was more deeply grounded than
had been calculated upon. 1t is fel,
that the presidents high and honorable
intentions have been misunderst: cd
President Mckinley, it was said, de-
sired three things, viz, to secure an in
demoty from Spain for the Maine
dis ,ster; to stop suffering in Cuba, by
giving the island p ,cification and prac-
zeal independence under the Spanish
flag and to avert war. Spain has
agreed TO this, but instead of feeling
homiliated, she claims this as "a great
victory" This has disgusted the Am
erican people and even disconnected
the administration.

SPAIN CANNOT WAR.
Won Caprivi Thinks the United States
Could Win With Ease.

New York.-The Journals Berlin
| cable this morning Gays: Ex-Chaucel-
| lor Won Caprivi expressed himself at
length on the Spanisb-Amer ican situa-
| tion to a friend who visited him q few
days ago on his estate at Skyren, near
Frankfort. He said: 1 cannct make
| myself believe there is any danger OF
an outbreak of war between the United
States and Spain, simply because l
am assured Spain is neither able nor
willing tosuccessfully conduct q war at
present.
'Even if the worst should come to
pass, and the Spanish government, de-
spite the depressed state of Spanish
finances should decide to clash swords
alton for the tOtteriDg throne, ignomi-
nous defeat would surely be in store
for the army, nor would the United
States need to fire q single cannon
shot. The Yankees would come out
victorious without shedding a drop
of blood if they only prolong hostili-
ties.
"As to the strength of the two pa-
tions, 1 believe that although original
ly there was not much difference be-
tween the two navies, the wonderful
United States will result in the accu-
mutation of as formidable navy as can
be shown by any of the European po-
wers. Not underestimstipg the eff
fciency of Spanish seamen, am of the
opiniOn that the United States can re-
cruit in short order sea force which
would prove more than q match for
the dons. Take it all in all, I believe
Spain will recede before it comes to
war, provided the Americans will
meet her half way with their wonted
broadmiuded generosity"

SPANS PLAN FOR PEACE.

Autonomous Government Like Canada 8
to be Inau9urated.
Washington AT the verge of open
hOstilitieS, the president is nsidering
a proposition from Spain, which he
and his advisors hope will maintain
peace. The Spanish government has
submitted an offer that Cuba shall
have autonomy, like that of the Can
adian government and consents that it
be inau gurated under the supervision
of this government. Spain proposes to
stop it's plan for concentration and to
allow the United States to feed the re-
concentrates, vino are to be allowed to
return to their homes.
The preside and his cabinet have
on high authority it is stated tonight
that they favor it. aad will give until
April 30 to test it's success and accept
ability.
A number of leaders in congress
have been sounded today as to wheth-
er an appropriation would be made for
supplying food and clothing to the Gu
bans in view of increased autonomy
neing rendered and no armed in
tervention being in prospect by the
United States.
Various replies to this question have
been given, some congressman stating
bluntly that in their judgment the Gu
bans will accept pothing short of inde-
pendence, and others say that the ma
jority of the leaders of both parties in
their great anxiety to avert war If
possible probably would favor this ex-
pertinent.
The president has the assurance of
Boards of Trade and similar CONNER
cial bodies in the country that if Coz
gress ia averse to an appropriation un-
der such circumstances they will SUBJ
scribe sufficient funds to feed and clothe
the recoucentrados and to provide
them with tools and help them to re-
build their houses. It is known that
the president aud his cabinet favor q
trial of this proposition. unless the ex-
pressiops of congressman make it clear
that it would be positively objection
able to the legislative branches and
convince him that the only solution of
the Cuban question is immediate inter
vention.
