An opea Latter 70 caur d'Alens citizen.


You are on the eve of town election.
Two tickets are presented for your suf.
frages; one called the Taxpayers, the
other the Citizens. Each ticket has
reasons for its existence. When you
cast your votes you will both accept and
diseredit those reasons; that is, you will
accept the reasons for the existence of
one ticket as being satisfactory and dis.
credit the reasons for the existence of
the other ticket. That is self-evident.
A ballot cast is the expression Of con-
victions; 1t must be that, unless it is
cast BY an imbecile. Now, for the rea-
sons for the existence Of these two tick
cts. One reason is the position Of the
present treasurer on the warrant Ques-
ton. While l have my own ideas on
this question, l will leave the discussion
Of 1t to those who are better Versed In
such matters. Another reason for the
existence Of these two tickets is the
present location Of the treasurer's Office.
l submit the question, is il where il
should be? As citizen have a griev-
Ance here, and / believe that ell fair
minded men will agree that it has a
good reason for its existence. am not
so wrought up about it that it is is nee
esSary for me TO rush into print to re-
lieve my feelings, and l believe my
disavowal OF any prejudice whatever
against any man or set OF men will be
accepted as the statement of fact. In
all candor, my position is this: A re-
spectacle minority Of us are subjected
TO unnecessary annoyance, inconven-
fence and humiliation by the present
arrangement. To transact business
with the treasurer we have to do vio-
lence TO our convictions or have some
one else attend to it for us. A public
office should be in business place that
Is, or may be, a common meeting place
as well. At present our treasurer's Of
ice Is not common meeting place and
cannot be. This, then, is the point
wish 10 make: The present arrange.
ment subjects a good many people to
unnecessary annoyance, Inconvenience
aud humiliation. Put the Office in some
common meeting place and no one can
feel agrieved. Am i mistaken in as
suming that this is your conviction in
regard to this mRtterp Your ballots
next Tuesday will be the answer TO this
question. Yours for a change,

The Cuban .Iunta Gratified.

New York, April 20.-The Cuban junta
displayed the American and Cuban
flags side by side today in celebration
of the adoption by congress OF the reso-
lutions declaring the island free and
independent, T. Estrada Palma said
MY first duty, in the name of the
brave Cubans, is to thank the stalwart,
liberty loving American people 4or the
staunch and unwavering sympathy and
support they have given us. Just as
soon as the Spaniards are driven from
the island the Cubans will call a new
assembly and draft a constitution End
elect a government, just as done in the
United States. If Spain goes to war,
and I doubt very much if she will,
think it will be question of not more
than four or five weeks when she will
be forced ignominiously relnquish her
hold of Cuba"

him the protection of passports and

breaking out of war. The entire staff

to the state department or to the po-

petty depredations against the lega-

grant one committed.
The various foreign embassies and le-
cations were intensely active yester-
day in the expectation that hostilities
were near at hand. The several foreign
offices were fully advised of the pas
sage of the resolutions, and were kept
posted as to the prospects on the presi-
dents signature. The representatives
of the powers of Europe held no meet

been most hopeful of bringing about

Britain has taken steps not only to
maintain a passive neutrality, but to
enforce it with arms if necessary. Two
regiments Of British soldiers are now
in the British West Indies, and these
are about to be augmented by another
