Our Own Reooncentrados.

There are reconcentrados in the
United States. There are Weylers
and Blancos exercising their despotic
power in the land of the free and home
of the brave. Hazelton miners are
starving and have potitioned congress
Senator Thurston, whose heart was
touched by the sufferings of the Cuban
reconcentrados, visit HazIeton? Will
not the Republican president, who
wanted to send bread to the starving
people of Cuba, send a few crusts to
the victims of the Coal trust Weylers
of Pennsylvania? Sheriff Martin and
his men taught the Hazleton miners
that to strike meant death; that the
rifles of the sheriff's guard would blow
the remnants of life out of the emacia-
ted body of starving strikers. Men
who have faced the deadly rifles carried
by the hired sassassins of the coal barons
and who have appealed to the courts of
justice only to be denied 1t are not likely
to demand their rights. The danger
is too great. Therefore these poor
wretches are now begging congress
for assistance. Miserable as their lives
are, still they want to preserve them.
and rather than starve and in prefer.
ence to being murdered they make men,
dicants of themselves. Truly this is a
land of liberty. A land where the trusts
are protected and the people starved.

The Farmer Did it.

Not Populist or Democratic paper
in Reno county or the state of Kansas
has mentioned the recent advance IN
wages In the Hutchinson salt plants,
and yet year ago they were all an
nouncing a decrease, which had not
taken place. That is the kind of
party we would hate to belong to-
Hutchinson News.
We plead guilty to the first charge
and are sorry that in the work neces-
sary to get up paper without any help
we have not only been guilty of COM
mission, but of omission as well. To
have let such an opportunity go by
without calling the attention of our
readers to it. is hardly excusable under
any circumstances, and so far as posi-
bic we will attempt to square ourselves
Immediately. We have it from good
authority that the wages in the salt
plants have been restored to the price
paid under the Cleveland administra-
ton. We also have it that the restor-
alton is due to the demand for harvest
hands and not to any advance In the
price of salt or disposition of the en-
ployers to pay better wages.
Two years ago we said, "Give the
farmers better prices for their products
and they will open the factories" The
farmer advanced the wages of the men
in the salt works, the Dingley bill has
nothing to do with it, but even such a
simple proposition as this could never
be beaten into a Republican editors
head. AS for the declaration that he
would hate to belong to the Populist or
Democratic party. SO far as we know,
he is not the only one who would hate
to have him .-Hutchinson Bee.

Free Cuba for the Oubans,


Two opposite forces are working up
on President Mckinley; the one to in
duce him to free Cuba for the Cubans
and the other to use the army and navy
of the United States TO crush the Gu
bans and secure Cuba for the specula-
tors. To acquire Cuba for American
spectators means hundreds of thous-
ands of lives of American soldiers and
hundreds of millions of money to be
raised by taxation. The Cubans when
worst comes to worst will fight the
United States as desperately as they
fought Spain, to save their own country
from foreign dominion. The sacrifices
they have made for freedom and indie
pendence are the best evidences of the
sacrifices they are prepared to make if
the effort to appropriate Cuba for spec.
ulatlve purposes IS continued.
The mere intimation that our designs
are sinister has already aroused the
suspicion of the Cuban people and driv-
en- thousands of them into the Spanish
army. IF the present policy of ignor-
ing the people of Cuba is continued,
enmity towards the United States will
be engendered which cannot be recon-
ciled in a generation. The Cubans ap-
preciate kindness. The arms and mu-
nitions sent to Garcia's men bore quick
fruit, and brought veterans to the as
sistance of our distressed marines near
Santiago. If the brave conduct of
Garcia's men does not excite the ad-
miration of the President of the United
States and induce him to change his
course, recognize that Cuba belongs to
the Cubans, and that this war is to free
Cuba and not to stealth, all will be lost,
and no man now living will see the end
of the war if it is a war of extermina-
ton to acquire the country by destroy
ing the inhabitants. The cold blooded
suggestion that there are no patriots in
Cuba is as false as it is wicked. TWAS
conceived in lniquity and is uttered with
unblushing impudence which would
adorn the rascality of fiends.
There crops out every day signs of
import that lead the public to believe
that possibly before this war is ended
we of the United States may change
our avowed policy and turn this into a
war for conquest and not war for
humanitys sake These expressions
come from the commercial ease; from
the men interested in speculation, and
through the papers controlled by the
trusts and syndicates.
If this turn be given to the war with
Spain it will be but the beginning
of the international trouble that will
| break forth IN a retributive fury that
will tax even this great wealthy nation
to suppress.
We must free Cuba for the Cubans-
not for the syndicates.

Humor Is the very sunshine Of the
world. Hardly any other single gift
will go so far to refresh and inspire one
in everyday life and keep the heart
still young. 1t steals merrily across the
workaday world, animating the drearl-
est monotony and finding place In the
most hopeless destiny. Such gay trav-
cling companion is humor for the pill
grimage Of life!
The woman with sense of humor
has safeguard against ennui, against
folly and against despair. She can new
err be dull 50 long as the comedy of life
is being played before her eyes; with
n keen sense of the ridiculous she Is not
likely to make fool of herself; ana
she will never be hopelessly unhappy
for she Will find In the most adverse
fate something s:1ll to laugh at, and al
ter all laughter is your true alchemist
However Ii may be with the unmusic
al person, surely the surly individual
who cannot laugh spontaneously on ac
casions is "fit for treasons, stratagems
and spoils."
But this blessed gift of humor should
be used to lift the shadows of life, moi
to deepen them. A joke which causes
another a pang of humiliation or makes
some sensitive heart ache is not only 9
cruel sort of amusement, but 1t is also
a very expensive Indulgence. For JUS
moments qualification at having
made a hit the funny woman" may
forever lose a friend, and may ever
arouse a very genuine spirit of enmity
We learn to forgive, and maybe forget
many injuries in life's troubled jour
ney, but perhaps among the wounds
that rankle longest in the human heart
are those which are made "only IL
fun."-Woman's Home Companion.

The fall of 1894 cut fodder corn for
ten cows by hand one month. and,

boards, made a wheel rine feet in di-
ameter, put "A rim on each side and

nearly four feet in diameter, and one
foot long, boiling them together, went
to the blacksmith's and got an old bug
gy stub and boxing, and put the two
wheels upon center post at side Of barn
door. Two pulleys fastened to main
beam lone with a weight attachment,
so the rope will run from the large,
nlne-foot wheel under scaffold, through
pulleys, to the one-foot wheel on center
post, a belt from the four-foot wheel
down to the cutting box. / made
finch hardwood wheel, two inches
thick, bored n hole in center for cutter

side, bolted the wheel to the shaft
with bolt each side of the center, put

Grape Grating.

An old Clinton vine stood at the cor
ner of the woodhouse which was so Wig
orous that its branches spread over
everything within reach, but bore no
fruit. In April, 1896, cut both
branches off close to the ground and
grated Delaware grape into one
and an Iona into the other. ! used no
wax, simply wrapped carefully with
strings of cloth, pasted little mud
over the wound and covered all with
eartF except the top buds of the CRAFTS.
Those CRAFTS made wonderful growth
the first season, owing TO the far-reach-
lns roots of the Clinton vine. At close
of the first season the Iona vine was
about eighteen feet long and the Della
ware about twelve. This season, with
the vines one year old, the Delaware
branch bore twenty-four as fine bunch
es of Delaware grapes as ever saw.
The punches and berries were slightly
larger than the Delaware generally
grows, and SO compact on the stems
that they could not be picked off easily
without beginning at the end of the
stem.
The Iona branch bore about forty
punches of Iona grapes of the finest
quality. This is quick way of get
ting grapevine into bearing. | tried
the same experiment on a Wild grape
vine down in the pasture. 1t grew JUS
as vigorously. but an lnquisitlve Jer
sey COW spoiled the experimenting

Standard Time.

Primarily. for the convenience of the
railroads, standard Of time was es-
tablished by mutual agreement in 1888,
by which trains are run and local time
regulated. According to this system,
the United States. extending from 50
to 125 degrees west longitude, is d.
yided into four sections, each of 10 de-
grees of longitude, exactly equivalent
to one hour The first (eastern) section
includes all territory between the At
lantic coast and an irregular line drawn
from Detroit TO Charleston, the latter
being its most southern point
The second fcentraD section includes
all the territory between the last
named line and an irregular line from
Bismarck to the mouth of the Rio
Grande.
The third (mountaln) section includes
all territory between the last named
line and nearly the western borders of
Idaho, Utah and Arizona. The fourth
Pacific) section covers the rest of the
country to the Pacific coast.
Standard time Is uniform inside each
of these sections, and the time of each
section differs from that next to 1t by
exactly one hour, Thus, at u noon In
New York City eastern timel the time
at Chicago central time) is II a. M;
at Denver (mountain timel 10 a. m,
and at San Francisco Pacific time) 8
o'clock a. m.
Standard time is Is minutes slower at
Boston than true local time, minutes
slower at New York, s minutes faster
at Washington, 10 minutes faster at
Charleston, % minutes slower at De
trolt, Is minutes faster at Kansas City
10 minutes slower at Chicago, l minute
faster at st. Louis, % minutes faster

at San Francisco.
