Hurrahi HurrahI
Wen set fair Cuba freei
The Spanish brutes
Wen drive into the sea;
They'll run, they'll run
Like sons of guns
When the stars and Stripes they see,
Backed by the men from West Virginia.
We're coming from the oil feIds,
We're coming from the mines,
We're coming from the rivers,
And our homes we've left behind;
We're coming from our cities,
And we're coming from our farms;
We're coming, the men from West Virginia.
CHORUS.
Wen make the Dons walk Spanish
Wen make them dance again;
We won't forget our sailor boys
Who persisted on the Maine;
Wen give them such a beating
That they'n ne'er come back again;
Were coming, the men from West Virginia.
CHORUS:
Wen catch old ifDevn Weyler,"
And hang him ON a tree;
Wen Hberate the Cubans,
And set their island free;
Wen show the world what we can do
At fighting, Yes, sir'eei
We're coming. the en- from West Virginia.
CHORUS:
Every dollar of the gold hoard
ed in the treasury ought to be put
in circulation at once to pay war
expenses and boom business at
home. It is treason to hoard gold
and hold it idle when our country
needs it to fight foreign foes

1t is a matter of history that
combined wealth and the great
trusts have always opposed any
war that was for the liberation of
of an oppressed people. They
favor only wars of conquest and
pillage-or the shooting down of
workmen who dare to ask for iv-
ing wages. They are opposed to
freedom, hence they are opposed
to the present war.
It seems that the invasion of
Cuba will come soon. 1t may be
the right thing to do, but we hate
to see our boys becoming the vic
tins of the climate of that horrid
island during the rainy season.
If County Courts always did
their duty there would be no oc-
casion for the taxpayer to fight in
functions and mandamuses against
their will.
The domesticated Malay cat has
a tail that is only about one-half
the usual length, and very often it
is tied by nature in kind of knot
which cannot be Strengthened out.
The Populists are the first in the
field as usual this year, and they
will have middle of the road con-

somewhat in this part of the Con
gressional District, and every day
adds new candidate to the list of
both parties.
There are several patriotic ladies'
in this place who talk of offering
their services to the government
as nurses in the Americans Cuban
war.
The nation is longing for some
war news. 1t will come. If good,
we can rejoice the more for the
delay; if bad. it will come soon
enough. But good or bad, it can
not be delayed much longer.
Fifty thousand dollars has been
appropriated to hunt down the
Spanish spies in this country.
