Great AUCTION Sale.

Having recently purchased a very
large assortment of clothing and furn-
ishing goods in order to secure bar
gain for our customers and guard
against war prices, we find that our
purchase is entirely too great for this
market. In order to make quick re-
turn of same into cash we have con-
cluded to inaugurate an auction sale,
to commence next Saturday evening,
May 18th, and continue the same for
two weeks. Our entire line of goods
goes into this auction. Mr. A H. King
the popular auctioneer, will have
charge of the auction. Purchase now.

Pure Politics.
From The Parish News.


We were pleased with the suggestion
recently made by the Cameron County
Press regarding the organization of a
Law and Order Society in this county
for the repression of political corrup-
ton. No crime can be greater than to
use ones right to vote for purposes of
barter The right to vote is sacred
public trust. Ones vote belongs not
to himself to do with as personol favor
or private interest may dictate, but it
belongs to the state and is sacred to
the interests of the larger life of hu-
manity and righteousness.
To strike effectively at the root of
the more open and recognized forms
of political corruption, we must re-
nounce the whole principle and sys-
TEN of the spoils idea. A public Office
bestowed as a reward for political sup
port is quite as corrupt and immoral
transaction as is the purchase of votes
at SO much head.
Politics must be established on the
basis of the public trust idea.
Public office is q public trust.
The right to vote is a public trust.
The true servant of the public has
no friends to reward and no enemies
to punish with the power of his office.
The true holder of the franchise has
no friends to reward nor enemies to
punish with his vote

HAWAIPS OFFER.
United State. Can Use the Islands In Her
War with Spain.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-No new Off
cial news has come to confirm the
report from Hawai- that the islands
have been rendered to the United
States for war uses. 1t is said that
if the incoming mail brought the prop
osition to San Francisco, it would
scarcely be trusted to telegraph there
on account of it's Importance, but
would be forwarded by the railway
mails which would bring it here in
about five days.
Without exception the naval officers
would welcome the possession of HaW-
ali just at this moment, as affordinS
magnificent base or naval opera
tions in tn. Pacific, but it is said
President Doles proposition must be
submitted to congress so that it will be
for the legislative branch in the end
to pass upon this offer

Arrival of a Cargo of Coal For the

Cuban Squadron.
KEY WEST, May 5.-The exodus of
naval men, after brief return visit
here, has been the only incident of the
dullest day since the hostilities opened
Where they have gone is officially un-
announced, but surmise is plentiful
and varied.
The fact that the big battleships and
monitors coaled to the fullest capac-
ity before stearing away is taken to
indicate a plan occupying considerable
time.
The Cuban blockade is still rigidly
kept up by the smaller cruisers, under
the temporary command Of Captain
Converse of the Montgomery.
The departing officers are still dis
cussing Commodore Dewey's brilliant
Manila victory and hoping for an op-
portunity for like achievement.
The only arrivals here during the
past "a hours We're the steamer Evelyn
from Newport News with a cargo OF
coal for the fleet and the revenue cut
ter Window from Hampton Roads.
In the harbor $50 marines, with their
officers are still packed away on the
Panther, broiling in the tropical sun.
Only the officers have shore leave. The
Panther is to be sent north to be made
into an auxiliary cruiser.
According to Captain Little of the
fishing schooner Antonio Y. Paco, cap
tured by the gunboat Newport a few
days ago, Havana is on the verge of
famine. Food is brincin~ fabulous
prices and the people are consequently
starving. The soldiers are seizing
whatever provisions are accessible and

bones seem to be perfect but no union has taken
place has any considerable or sufficient
amount of callus been thrown out. Hence am
prepared to say that he has had perfect treat
ment so far and the fault is entirely with his
healing powers. g

Washington, Feb. 2.-Senator Per- kins of California, when shown the above dispatch, said that the preven- tion ofimportation on sanitary grounds was a mere preteXt and that 1t was simply to keep out fruits which now competed with German production and the order was no doubt issued as a re- tallation against the United States be- cause of a differential tariff on sugar from bounty paying countries. Sena- tor Perkins said he had no doubt that the United States could meet this new order by retaliation.
 Senator McEnery of Louisiana said:
 "If this country would only prohibit the importation of Germany's cutlery and wool there would soon be an end of any discrimination against Ameri- can products and that is what should
 be done"
 Senator Lodge of the foreign rela- tions committee declined to say more
 than that Germany's action was in clear violation of the treaty.
 Senator Burrows of the committee on finance thought that the matter should be thoroughly investigated by the ex- ecutive branch of the government. MT. Hit, chairman of the house com | mittee on foreign affairs, expressed surprise at the step taken, particular ly that it should not be preceded with notice to our representative at Berlin. He thought the present case looked
 much like the exclusion of American hogs. In the present case he felt that
 our authorities would take steps to learn whether any sanitary evil could
 be attributed to the condition of the fruit crop in California and if this was
 established in the negative. he had no
 doubt a courteous but firm representa- tion would be made to the German
 government with view to showing that its action had been taken with out a sufficient inquiry into the facts.

POLICIES FOR s4oO,ooo EXPIRED
 FEBRUARY 1.

Hartford, Feb. 2-The Times says: Tt is learned in Hartford to-day that the Factory Insurance association of this city had $400O00 insurance on the factory, which terminated the first day of February. The insurance had been placed with the mutuals, the policies in the Factory Insurance association not have been renewed.
 "This is the biggest stroke of luck that has happened in fire underwrit- ing circles here in years. The mana ger of the association c. G. Smith, is one of the happiest men in the insur- arlce community at the present time. The risk was considered gilt edge. The plans for the plant were furnish ed by the Factory Insurance associa- tion. The building was amply equip ped with Walworth sprinklers, and these sprinklers held the fire under control for one hour. At the end of that time the fire department cut off the supply of water, rendering the sprinkIers ineffective.
 Another piece of unfortunate man. agement was that pump capable of throwing 2,000 gallons of water 8 man. 11te was useless on account of the fact that steam was not up. The steam had been off two or three days. Colonel w. H. Stratton, the assistant manager of the Factory association, left for the scene of the fire this morning to make B personal examination of the causes that led to the failure of the sprink- lers."

DECREE AGAINST AMERICAN FRUIT Action of Prussian Minister of Finance
 Remonstrance by Ambassador White.

RemOnstrance by Am bassador Whfte.
 Berlin, Feb. 1.-The Prussian minis ter of finance, Dr. Miquel, issued de- cree yesterday, which goes into effect Immediately, prohibiting the importa- tion of every kind of American fresh fruit. The decree has been sent to all the German ports and frontier sta- lions, excepting Bavaria, Saxony and .Wurtemburg.
 The United States embassy was not previously warned and United States Ambassador White sent formal let ter to the foreign office to-day inquir- ing upon what authority this inimical step was taken.
 The United States consul at Ham, burg, Dr. Hugh Pitcairn, telegraphed here to-day that 16000 barrels of Amer ican apples had been forbidden to be unloaded, and that two trains full of American fruit had been forbidden to cross the frontier at Emmerich, which aside from Hamburg, is the principal place of entry for American fruit.
 On receipt of this news Ambassador White sent a second and stronger re- monstrance to the foreign office, call ing attention to the evident violation of the treaty.
 At. the foreign office this afternoon it was learned that the Prussian govern ment prohibits the entry of American fruit on sanitary pretexts, claiming that California and other vermin threaten to infect German trees and fruit.
