The Carrollton Record says: cit
was the democrats who loaned money
to the railroads. " " "The rail-
roads were sold tor as much or even
more than they were worth after the
republican party came into power"
+ = ssWhen the republican party
took control of the state, in 1866, there
was not a railroad in the state upon
which travel could be made with
safety except what were called the
North Missouri and the Hannibal and
St. Joseph, the latter of which carried
a mortgage of $4,000, 900, and was
not sold when the others that were
mortgaged were disposed Of; and there
being no money to repair them the
only sensible thing was to sell them to
the highest bidder, which was done
and the purchasers Immediately put
them in proper shape for travel to the
great advantage of the people of the
state and the travelling public generally.
The Missouri democracy loaned the
states money to the railroads and then
concocted the rebellion, and without
collecting either the principal or in
terest permitted the roads TO become
dilapidated and badly out of repair, so
that i. was unsafe to travel on them,
and now they howl because the rePub-
lican party got rid of them to the great
advantage of all concerned. They are
a dainty set, with the Lexington In
TELLIGENCER mar as one of the biggest
and SWEETEST toads in the puddle"

w. NJ. A. CONCERT
Given Last Night BY Prof. Stark's
Music Pupils at the Academy.

Lexington was treated to one of the best
musical entertainments last night that
our citizens have ever enjoyed.
The occasion was a concert by Prof.
Stark's music pupils at w. M. A, who
were assisted by Mr.. Edwin Clay and Miss
Menefee of Sedalia, and Prof. Conrad,
music director at Central College.
The audience was an appreciative one
and an enthusiastic one, and "The Stars
and Stripes Forever brought forth round
after round of applause. The march was
played by a mandolin club composed of
thirty cadets, and the patriotic musi
made the blood course through a mans
veins at a lively pace.
The piano solo, by Cadet Ovid Sellers,
and the symphonic concertante for two
v~iolins, by Cadets Crane and Abeel, were
both excellent selections and were greatly
enjoyed.
The baritone solo, by Cadet Warkentin,
with violincelio obligato by M. Clay, met
with a loud encore.
The violin solo. by Cadet JOS. Abeel,
was rendered with good effect. The time
was perfect. He was followed by the
mandolin club with a waltz, "One Sweet
Dream"
Trio, g. major for piano, violin and
violincello, played by Messrs. Conrad,
Stark and Clay, was music of a class far
superior to that usually heard in our city.
The three gentlemen are artists, and their
music delighted those who had gathered
to hear them. They were followed by
Mr.. Clay with a violincello solo, which
was thoroughly appreciated.
The hit Of the evening was the soprano
solo, Elaine, by Miss Menefee, of Sedalia.
Her voice was one OF the best we have
ever heard on the stage here. Her high
notes were as clear as the tones Of a bell
and her facial expression was perfect.
Miss Menefee is 4 vocalist of unusual
ability.
Zigeuner Weisen, a violin solo by Sar-
safe, played by Prof. Stark, was grand.
The selection is a combination Of Gypsy
airs somewhat on the style of List
rhapsodies. Prof. Stark is certainly a
master OF the violin. He filed the entire
room with melody and was forced to
respond to a vigorous encore.
A selection played by the orchestra
concluded the program. The piece was
well played, and was a fitting close to the
which preceded it.
Prof. Starke is certainly to be congrat-
ulated on the splendid showing his pupils
made.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., April 90
This was a day of events in the history
of the Cuban question.
The signature by the president o.
the Joint resolution requiring %interven'
ton in Cuba; the notification of thai
action to the Spanish minister here,
his demand for passports, the depart.
ment's prompt reply to that demand
| the departure of the Spanish minister.
| and the transmission of our ultimatum
that Spain must e~vacuate Cuba and
must answer by Saturday through
Minister Woodford followed IN quick
succession.
The next step is SPANS answer, il
she is TO make any, and the movement
of the United States army and navy on
Cuba.
Early in the morning the execution
of the program for today began with
a conference between Assistant Secre-
tary Day, ex-Secretary Foster and
Second Assistant Secretary Adee, in
which the wishes of the president and
cabinet as to the ultimatum were
reduced to diplomatic form.
At the cabinet meeting yesterday
afternoon the general features of the
ultimatum were agreed upon and there
remained for this morning only the
making of a fair copy for the presi-
dents signature. The revised copy,
which was made this morning, was
laid before the president about 10 20
O'Clock. Other events succeeded each
other with rapidity.
The ultimatum was sent TO the
Spanish minister by Judge Days special
messenger, Edward Savoy, one of the
trusted employees of the state depart
ment.
polo DECIDES TO QUIT.
The messenger was not kept waiting
long at the legation, but in the course
of an hour had returned TO the state
department with the minister's appli-
cation for his passports.
1t was not until half past three
O'Clock this afternoon that Savoy made
his second trip carrying with him the
desired papers. This was a passport
for the minister and his family and
suite. It was not in the usual form,
but what is known as a special pass
port. In general terms it is similar to
that presented to Lord Sackville-W West
when that unfortunate minister was
obliged to retire.
The next move must now be. made
by Spain, according to the department
officials. If the Spanish government
takes a view, as might possibly be con-
cluded from the action of its minister
here today, that in language and terms
the congressional resolution is insult
ing, 1t may promptly hand Mr.. Wood
ford his passports upon receipt of this
communication, and thus bring the
negotiations TO the crisis and cause a
breach of diplomatic relations within
the next twenty-four hours.
If, ON the other hand, it should neg
lect to return u satisfactory answer
before Saturday noon, that line of
policy will be quite as effective as a
positive act, inasmuch as it would
amount to q refusal of the demands OF
the United States. In such case the
president would proceed Immediately
to execute the will of congress.

three million dollars that he made by
buying up fraudulently issued Missouri
county bonds. The general, like others
of his class, IS loyal only to the interest
of his pocket book.
