TIE Northern people used to cry
their eyes out because of the black
slaves in the South. To-day they
have no tears for the white tramp,
who is in a worse condition than
nine-tenths Of the slaves ever were.
The black slave was well fed and
clothed and if sick haG the best med.
ical attention. The white tramp
who seeks work bnt can not find it
is in the North laughed at BY the
people and the press, the dogs sicked
on him. and he is lucky if he escapes
breaking rock under the whip of a
task master. This is 10 a land and
by a people who hated the South
erners because they were SO cruel as
to own slaves. Hypocricy, thy home
is north of Mason and Dixoa's line.
We would rather have been a slave
to a Southern gentleman, than a
tramp begging bread before the door
of a Northern millionaire.-Ex.

Thousands of Cubans, some estimates
placing the number at 10000, are being

The health of the marines at Guam
tanamo is good. but the same cannot be

men are on the sick report, suffering

CHICAGO, July 9.-Commissioner
Lorin A. Thurston, Of Hawaii, passed
through Chicago today on his way to
Honolulu, where he will end his dipIo-
matte career with his report to his
home government and, according to his
own statement, retire from public life
outside his own community. Speaking
Of the new situation created by the
adoption of the annexation resolutions.
he said:
Il am we'll satisfied with the resolu-
tions and with the commission which
has been appointed to represent the
United States, and so far as know all
my people are. It has been a long.
hard fight Of more than five years, but
we felt this result must come some
time. Since the beginning Of the war
we have been sure Of success. The
news will reach Hawaii on Thursday,
though I myself will not arrive there
until one week from Wednesday. I
have finished my work and am grati-
fled over the result.
I do not know what the commission
will do, but we hope for a territorial
form OF government with a delegate in
congress. We realize that we are un-
fitted for statehood, and I do not ex-
pect to see it in my time. although I
hope it will come some day.
We hope to see Honolulu a great
naval station, especially If the Philip
pines are retained, and for our own
sake we hope they will be. We have
QUO troops of Our own and thav ORC
amply able to handle any local need
that may arise. The country Is ex-
tremely prosperous now and I believe
there Is an excellent chance for men
with money to embark in business
there. The Americans will now have
an immense advantage"
