Here is an extract from a dispatch
regarding the merits Of the Cuban as
an ally:
"After General Shafter announced
his decision not to let the Cuban jun
ia enter the city OF Santiago, deep
mutterings were heard among Gen.
Garcia's men. It was evident the
Cubans were greatly disappointed at
the step taken by the American COM
mander, for they had confidently
counted upon having Santiago turned
over to loot and plunder as they had
in succession sacked Baiquiri, Sibony
and Ell Caney. Consequently their
disappointment was keen when they
ascertained that they were not to be
permitted to take possession of the
city upon Gen. Toral's surrender.
that there is q rising sentiment
against them in the army. They hear
nothing but words of scorn from our
men, as they pass onward, Juggling
their bacon and hardtack into the
woods. Even our officers no longer
conceal their disgust for their allies,
and it is understood that the warm
friendship displayed towards them at
first has now turned into contempt,
for the Cubans have neither fought
nor worked.
"The correspondent of the Associa-
ted Press, who sends this
dispatch. saw a group OF
Cubans refuse point blank to aid in
building roads and during the two
days heavy fighting, while they we're
lettering in the rear, our surgeons
sought in vain to secure assistance
from them. even to cut poles for i'm
provised litters for our wounded.
'Hundreds of such instances are
being told around the camp fires, un-
til the name Of Cuban is usually
wreathed with camp profanity and
very rarely is a kind word spoken of
them. In fact, in some quarters.
there is disposition to prophesy an
early collision between our men and
the Cubans."
This just about sets the Cuban forth
in his true character-just as he is
when the glamour of romance is re-
moved. AS a matter of fact, the Gu
ban is just one step removed from the
Spaniard. and that for the worse, and
nothing good can be expected of him.

Secretary of State Bush has made
q ruling, which has been endorsed by
the attorney general, to the effect that
he will allow no ticket to go upon the
official ballot by petition until every
man who has circulated said petition
has made an affidavit stating that
each and everyone of the petit oners

Heretofore men, women and children

The Congressional Com. convened
in Topeka last Wednesday, and We
had the pleasure of meeting some of
the candidates. One prominent Con-
gresham who is a candidate for re-
election this fall, was told in Wash
ington by republican a short time
ago that the Republican National
Committee three months ago sent it's
first contribution of $50. 200 to Cy Le-
land. They are determined to beat
Governor Leedy and evidently intend
the coming campaign to be one Of
slush.

WALLER PRAISES LEEDY.

John w. Waller, the colored ex-
consul to Madagascar, has written a
letter to a friend in Topeka in which
he has the following to say regarding
the enlistment of colored troops in
Kansas:
"Your favor of yesterday duly re-
ceived this morning and contents care
fully noted. In reply 1 have to say
that the broad and statesmanlike &C.
ton of Governor Leedy in coucedeing
the request of the colored people of
Kansas the right to officers of their
own race in the eight companies 1.-TWO
batallions) to be organized in Kansas
has placed him by the side of the
great Andrews, the late war governor
OF grand old Massachusetts. The
colored people throughout the State
and nation will hand the name of
Governor Leedy down to their pos
terity with reverence and place upon
his head the choicest laurel at the
disposition of the race.
ut takes great courage for the av-
erage white man to do right by the
negro. Governor Leedy has stemmed
the current, brushed away every vss-
tige of prejudice and invited the negro
to an equal standing and position in
the army with that of his white fellow
citizen and comrade. The praises of
the Governor are upon the lips of the
colored people both of Kansas and
Missouri, and next week 200 Afro
American newspapers will commend
the great step taken by the Governor
of Kansas in according to the eight
companies, officers of their own race.
"There is a tide in the affairs of
men, which. if taken at the food, leads
on to fortune. .l ~
Omitted, all the voyage of their
lives is bound in shadows and in
miseries. "-Troy Times.

The papers say Mr.. Stanley's visit
to Kansas City reminds them of the
visit of Mr.. st. John when he was a
candidate for Governor. We all re-
member that Mr.. St. John, the great
temperance apostle visited all the sa-
looms in Kansas City, Kansas, and
paid for drinks for the boys. Is it
possible that Mr.. Stanlsy-but perish
the thought, we cannot even write it,
but why, oh why, did Mr.. Stanley's vis-
it remind them of Mr.. St. Johns?

A soldiers pay is s13 a month,
from which 20 cents is deducted for

worth Times.
And yet the republicans raved till
they were black in the face because
the populist State convention demand
ed that the pay of the soldiers be in
creased from Sl3 to s2O.--Troy Times.

We notice that some papers have
spoken of the annexation of Hawaii
as adding a new star to the U. S.
flag. This is mistake, or, at least,
premature. A star is added to the
flag upon the admission of new
state to the Union, but Hawaii is not
a State, and it is very doubtful wheth-
er it will be allowed to become one.

The two leading republican candi-

that when Stanley was at Kansas City
last week he visited the packing
houses and shook hands with the men
until his hands and feet were cover
