 aFirst-That the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right ougn to be. free and independent.
 nseeond-That it is the duty of the Tinted States to demand, and the government of the United States does hereby demand, that the government of Spain at once relinquish it's author ity and government in the island of Cuba and withdraw it's land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
 pThird-That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby, directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the &C., tual service of the United States the militia of the several States to such extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect.
 "Fourth-That the United States hereby disclains any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, juris- diction or control over said island, ex- cept for the pacifcation thereof, and asserts it's determination when that is accomplished to leave the government and control of theisland to it's people. !"
The Florence tribune., 1898-04-23

THE following is the full text of the
 preamble and resolution passed by Congress last Tuesday morning which precipitates the war with Spain l: "Joint resolution for the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding the government of Spain to relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba and to withdraw it's land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters and directing the Presi- dent of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolution into effect.
 "Whereas, the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three wears in the island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been disgrace to Chris ton civilization, eliminating as they have in the destruction of United States battleship, and 266 of it's of ficers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the Harbor of Havana, and cannot longer be endured as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April II, 1898, upon which the action of Congress was invited,

TIE compliment the United States government pays veterans of the civil
 war, says the Denver Post, in giving the men who fought in the sixties pref erence over the long line of new timber that is rushing forward for enlistment, is handsome one. Not only this, but it is deserved recognition of the men who saved the Union once. It is also gratifying to learn that Uncle Sam does not purpose allowing the pensions that many of these veterans are now drawing to be interfered with. There are some things that even republics are grateful for, and the services of the old soldier is one Of them.
The Florence tribune., 1898-04-23

TIE Mohave Miner pays the follow. ing deserved compliment to Chie1 Justice Street, who has recently been holding court in that county for Judge Sloan: "From all over the county comes words of praise for Judge Webster Street, who has just adjourned the April term of court. Pleasant, af- fable, courteous, thorough gentle man, he endears himself to the peo- pie wherever he goes.'

-TnE Southern Pacific is doing an un- paralleled business. It has had to add 100 men to it's force at Tucson alone, and the same proportion has been fol- lowed at almost every point on the line. On many of the freight trains the crews have had to use box cars for cabooses, as the supply of the latter is not equal to the increased traffic.

TIE war with Spain is the all-ab- sorbing topic of conversation, and pa triotism runs high among our young men. who all want to go into the caval- " and get to the front. They fear the dough boys" will have tedious time guarding frontier posts.

TIE following excellent definition of raffie is going the rounds of the press, merely credited to an exchange: A raffie is an institution in which a man is persuaded against his will to spend money he can't afford to lose for al- most no chance at all of drawing something he doesn't need.

Ex-SHERFF PETE GABRIEL writes to the TRIBUNE from Riverside to put his name down on the roll of the Pinal Rangers. He says he is "only forty-fve years old in time of war, and can march with any of the boys" A regiment of men like Pete Gabriel could take Cuba.

TAMMANY had s4O,OO0 sack left af- ter the recent campaign. Half of it was donated to the Cuban junta and the other half to the poor of New York county. An organization that shows such wisdom and generosity as this is not half as black as it is painted.

FOrakerWOuId Return the Flags

Cincinnati CONGRATULATIONS.
Senator Forker is in favor OF
returning to the South the Con-
federate flags captured in battle
by the union troops during the
war. In a statement from him
upon the subject he says: Il
think it would be a good thing at
this time to return the COME 7er-
ate battle flags if our brethren IN
the South want them back. The
return of the flags, in my judg-
ment, is a matter that depends
much upon the propriety attend
ing the return, and who does it.
The circumstances + very diff
ferent now from what they were
when Mr.. Cleveland proposed to
return them. I must say that |
have not heard much discussion
of the subject. but Imost certain
ly have 10 ~objecuion. In fact, l
think it would be a good thing to
give them all back"

Low Handle Bars Bad for TOIun-
teerS.

Washington, May 23.-The
surgeons who have been making
examinations of the members Of
the militia volunteers will make
reports that will be apt to dis
courage, though it may not ex-
tinguish, the bicycle habit, and
particularly the use of low han>
die bars. It is said at the medical
department of the army that a
great number of the volunteers
who have been rejectedfor phys
ical disability are bicycle riders
who, by the violent exercise,
have developed diseases of the
heart and the spine which unfit
them for exposure or endurance
The troubles are said to be con-
fined almost entirely to riders
who use low handle bars and lean
forward in the saddle. This posts
ton not only induces curvature
of the spine and other diseases
in that part Of the anatomy, but
causes the other organs to crowd
the heart out of its place and
produce irritation, which ulti-
mately becomes chronic.

o S OF THE WAR.

1t is stated that already the sum
of S75, 600, 900 has been expend7
ed on war preparations and that
obligations amounting to about
$25, 900, 900 more are outstanding
and will mature during the present
month. This will make the war
to date cost $500, 900, 600.
The Senate Committee on FL
nance after considering the subject
very carefully came to the con-
clusion that the efforts of the
United States to free Cuba would
cost not less than $3.50, 600, 600,
provided the war was not prolong-
ed more than n year. Even this
may be regarded is a somewhat
conservative estimate.
{ War is a very expensive pro-
ceeding and the cost is one OF the
main factors to be considered when
a conflict IS entered upon. To
meet this extra expense is the pur-
pose of the new revenue bill now
before the Senate. AS it came
from the House it is estimated
that it will raise 800, 600, 900 per
year, but as amended by the Sem
ate Committee the estimated re-
ceipts are placed at $4,000, 600
These amounts are in addition to
the regular income of the Govern
ment under the present law.
If the cost Of the war does not
exceed $500, 600, 600, under the
House bill four years will be re-
quired to pay off the principal.
Under the Senate measure the
time will be reduced to two years
and eight months.

Rank i'm the Army.

The highest grade in the Federal
navy at present is that of rear a6s
miral. The rank of vice admiral was
created by Congress in 1864 and be-
slowed upon David G.. Farragut. On
July 25, 1866, the rank of admiral
was given to Farragut. and on the
same day David D. Porter was made
vice admiral. Admiral Farragut died
in 1870, and Vice Admiral Porter be-
came admiral. Upon the death of Ad-
miral Porter in 1891, the rank of adj
miral and vice admiral became ex-
tinct, leaving the grade of rear ad-
miral the highest in the navy.
It is highly probable that both of
the extinct grades will be re created
during or at the close of the wal and
will be further increased to give
proper recognition to commanders
who shall have displayed exceptional
skill and proves. Says the Philadel-
phia Record: In the present exult-
ant mood of the American people
the country over it is safe to say that
they will regard any distinction
which may hereafter be conferred
upon Admiral Dewey as brilliantly
deserved; but we must wait until the
war is over before we can apportion
all the honors won.

American Patriotism Aroused.

European nations are having
their eyes opened 90 the Subject
of American patriotism The
blue and the gray march shout
der to shoulder, and the rich and
the poor meet on a common
level, Among the Roosevelts
trough riders may be found the
Federal and the Confederate SOL
diers, and the sons Of million
aires of the East ride side by
side with the cowboy of the
western plains. The solution to
to the mystery is that We are a
nation of patriots, and that
love of countrysis common to all
sections and classes.

Weeks Happenings
Small grain crops are promising
so far.
Miss Maggie Wells from your
city, visited friends in our commu-
nitylast week.
Miss Lula Edwards from Colds
boro, spent a few days here last
week visiting Misses Smith and
Neal.
General Green has made him
self very conspicuous in many places
in our community, and war is being
waged against him on every hand
His many friends regret to learn
of the death of Mr.. Sam Stevens,
who was a former worthy citizen of
our neighborhood. The sympathy of
the community is extended to his
breaved family.
Since the recent rains the crops
are looking well, and those who
have wheat growing, have a decided
ly different tone, when the subject
of advancing prices is brought up.
from those who have no wheat.
Our tobacco planters have been
troubled to set sufficient plants to
put out, some of them going in the
edge Of Greene county to purchase
them. This is not due to such an
increase in acreage, but due to the
fact that the plant beds did not
yield as they should.
Death is always sad, and around
it hangs a gloom which nothing but
an abiding faith in Gods promises
can dispel. But when it comes as a
a thunder clap from a clear sky, and
snatches from us our loved ones in
an instant. with no warming Of its
approach, and no intuition, till its
icy hand has forever chilled a tender,
loving heart, and dimmed the lustre
of loving eyes it leaves in its wake
broken hearts, sobbing bosoms, and
homes in which the sunlight Of JOY
and happiness is shut out by the
| dark, lowering clouds of sadness and
| almost uncomfortable grief. Such
was the case, when suddenly the
bright spirit of Mrs. B.. E. Sugg, Of
G~reenville, N. c., took its eternal
fight last Thursday night, at the
home of her brother-in-law DR.. E.
H. Hornaday, of Willow Green. The
burial took place Saturday morning
at Greenville, attended by IA large
concourse of people. She leaves a
loving husband and a devoted son,
who are FRUSTRATED with grief. She
was a sister of Col. ". X. Crawford:
a true christian, a noble, good wo-
man, around whose life shown ahalo

Chicago Times Herald,

Chicago Times Herald,
Governor Holcomb, of Ne
braska, has issued a commission
empowering William J. Bryan,
Of Lincoln, to 1aise a volunteer
regiment Of 1000 men. to be
rendered to the war department
for actual service at the front,
with the distinguished free silver
champion as commander. MI.
Bryan has already begun the
work of recruiting, and believes
that he can have MS regimental
ranks filed within two wee ks. 1t
is quite probable that Short
sighted political opponents will
charge that this action upon the
part of Mr.. Bryan has been I'M
dertaken solely for political eff
feet and without patriotic mo-
| tiyes; but facts are much more
| convincing than mere rumors
and surmises, and the fact that
he has undertaken to raise d full
regiment of sturdy young Mes
braskaus and has offered to lead
| them personally if permitted to
| do SO must be set down as dis
fipotlv IN his credit
