Spain Is Again Earnestly Pleading with
the Powers.
Madrid, June 10.-Spain is approach
ing the powers with view of obtain
ing an honorable peace. The cabinet
council authorized Duke Almodovar de
Rio to expedite diplomatic action, and
in consequence the duke Is comforting
with the ambassadors and ministers
in Madrid.
Instructions have been telegraphed
to the Spanish minister In Vienna, and
orders likewise given to Senior Agera,
the under secretary Of state, to pro-
coed at once to the Austrian capital
Spain is unquestionably looking to
Austria for assistance in her distress.
Probably Captain General August
will be ordered to make the best terms

August would accept according to
circumstance"
The message to the government from
General Augusti was held back and. 1t
is alleged, will be greatly toned down.
1t has aroused the national anger
for the Spanish cling to the Philip
pines. though they are ready enough
to abandon Cuba, which is regarded
as a monster that yearly devours the
youth of Spain.

surrender to Dewey. The government

MORE WHEAT WANTED.

The strongest argument in favor
of utilizing more water and culti-
vatlng more land in this valley is
the fact that z. G. Prina h Co. have
shipped in from Salt River valley
200, ,0e0 pounds of wheat this spring
and the Stafford Milling Company
have shipped in 100000 pounds.
And if these mills attempted to
supply the demand several more
car loads would have to be shipped
in.
What has already been shipped
in is dead loss to the valley of
nearly $4,000, which the farmers
here would have received if the
grain had been raised. The -four
made by the mills in the Gila val
ley is IN big demand all the time.
The water necessary to irrigate all
the unclaimed land in the valley is
annually running to waste and this
large sum of money is being sent
away. This should be enough to
arouse the people sufficiently to de-
wise means for obtaining more
water.

NO! NOT NOW. .

The New York Sun in an editor
ial under the foregoing headline,
on the 9th of April, 1898, fred a
broadside against any objection
whatever being made to Dinglcy's
goldite plan to more thoroughly
commit the United States to the
single gold standard. After having
contended that the English gold
standard is the sine qua non of
American patriotism, IT says:
"Let 1t be understood in advance
that any attempt in any quarter to
embarrass the administration and
imperil the nations cause for the
sake Of this or that financial theory
is crime against patriotism sure
to be visited heavily with public
indignation. The only issue now
is with Spain"
The Sun attempts to throttle
those patriotic men who, while the
war with Spain is in progress, are
watching'and heading offthe william,
Gus schemes of the gold gamblers
who, without this strict surveillance
by honest men, would have the peo-
pie by tho end of the war their alb
jact slaves. The war will be prose
cuted with vigor, but no threats
that the Sun Or any other Wall
street organ can make will deter
from their purpose those who have
the real interest of the people at
heart.

The Hawaiian government will
not proclaim neutrality. This stand
is taken on account of existing
relations between the United State!
and Hawaii. The executive con.
siders that proclamation of neu-
trality would be breach of good
faith. The government made
known its position on Monday last
at secret session of the senate. 1t
is understood that senator's favored
the stand taken by President Dole.
Another impol tant matter was con-
sidered at the same session, namely
the Occupation bill, which if rati-
fed by the senate, will allow the
United State to raise the American
flag over the islands, and use the
same as base Of supplies. This
measure is said to have been pre-
pared with the knowledge of the
members of the American senate
committee on foreign affairs and
has been approved by President

The Barber-Shop Fly.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
There's pesky little creature.
And Just now it's quite a feature
In n place where bristling mortnls often stop,
Every minute changing lodging,
Every minute wild slaps dodging-
It's the fly that loafs around the barber shop.
Yes, there's trouble every minute,
And the fly Is strictly In II,
When you get so nicely seated for shave:
For the insect, gay and frisky,
VIII do anything that's risky
Just to make you vince and twitch and squirm
and rave.
While the BARRIERS busy stropping,
Round your head that fly Is hopping,
Next your ear It gently tiCkles with its toes
But of course you do not like IL,
And you raise hand to strike II,
Then the fly is calmly squatting on your nose.
Just minute, fierce and scrappy,
And again you feel quite happy
TIL II finds that polished bald spot on your head
Then you simply get ferocious,
Fit for anything atr0cious,
And you feel inclined TO raise particular Ned.
Then the barber, In furry,
Tries to make the insect seurry,
But upon your chin he lets the razor drop;
You'll ignore his explanation,
And, In fiery indignation, .
Make vow you'll never again go TO that shop.
But win go 70 A. Austin's shop, Stafford.

THE GOLD BOARD.


the darkest days of the rebellion
crippled the greenbacks by re-
curing custom dues and interest
on bonds to be paid in coin; then
IN the name of patriotism organic
ed a gold board to furnish coin to
the government to pay interest on
the bonds they held. They sent
gold to a premium of more than
$50 per cent and made the war
cost thousands of millions more
than it would have cost if brave
old Thaddeus Stevens could have
had his way. The brazen gold
press are now claiming that il was
the patriotism of gold gamblers of
Wall street that saved the Union
and not the blood and sacrifice of
the American people.
These "patroits" have come
again. They always come with
the same regularity as vultures
gather around the dead on a
battle field whenever the country
is in distress or supposed to be in
distress. There is no fear of q
war with Spain. Our resources
are ample and at the command of
the government. The danger is
from Wall and Lombard streets,
which organized the gold board
and made war on the republic in
the rear, while the brave boys
were sacrificing their lives on the
field of battle. The American
people hope they see liberty foI
Cuba and honor for the United
States, while the vultures of Wall
and Lombard streets see nothing
but bonds to swell their Golfers
to be paid In dearer and dearer
money. Thus they seek to forge
the patriotism of the American
people into chains to bind the
limbs of their posterity.
If the only issue is with Spain,
why does the Sun and every
other employe and servant of gold
monopoly contend that the people
must be robbed fer the benefit OF
gold monopoly before and during
the time they fight Spain? There
is no fear of Spain. All the
powers of Europe combined could
not infict upon the United States
one-tenth part of the injury that
has been inflicted upon this coun-
try by gold standard contraction,
falling prices, and stagration in
business. No one opposes furnish
ing the government all the money
necessary to fight Spain. All the
people ask is that Spain shall be
fought by our army and navy, and
that the Cuban patriots shall have
the privilege of continuing their
warfare against Spain. The cry
of "stop thief to cover up the
nefarious schemes of the Tory
goldites has become too trans
parant to deceive the public.
There are two hundred million
dollars surplus III the treasury.
The taxation proposed Will bring
in another hundred million. The
temporary issue Of treasury notes
for one hunered million dollars
would furnish more money than
could possibly be spent before the
next session of Congress. There
is no necessity for haste. There Is
a necessity however, to watch the
nefarious schemes proposed by
Wall and Lombard streets to
utilize the war With Spain to en-
slave the American people,
