HOMEMADE PHILOSOPHY.

People that are not abull to govern
themselves, are hardly fit to select any
body to run their government for
them.
1t rekwires more time to teach
man how to vote, than how TO read
Latin; yet most men will attempt the
job Of votin' for a dollar bill or less.
The voice ov the people is VERY Of
ten the voice ov pregyoodice and lg-
norunce; while the voice ov their lead
Yesterday is only the memory ov
dream-termorrer is but the sequal to
all our dreams, and only to-day is left
in which we kin eat up the cold wit
ties left over from the past.

money is almost similar, yit exactly
oppersite in their natshures-it is
about as dangerous to blow the one
out as it is to blow the other in.
Down our way they call conserva
tive man "A cold-storage warehouse, "
because he has been usin' his head
durin' his hull life as a reservoir for
idees that would decay in a real live
head.
There's a good bit or the wild goose
about the averidge man or woman
they want to foller some leader when
they are sore. Most any sort of king
kin work up a follerin' among the

Havana, I wud have bot pint ov pea

The wise men of the world have
proved to the people that devil is a
useful and necessary article in the plan
ov economy. and that hades is the left

the people are sighin because they

CERvERA.

Came the order to Cervera, "Put to
sea-"
And the signals from the Spanish
flagship fluttered;
Decks were cleared and all the heavy
guns cast free,
While no word Of plant the noble
foeman uttered.
Sailing to annihilation,
On Cervera came,
For the glory Of his nation
And the wreath Of fame.
Then our roar
Shook the shore,
And each Spanish keel
In that main
Felt the strain
Of our bolts of STEEL
Wrapped were all our ships in battle
flame and smoke;
Stunned were all our ears by the in
cessant thunder;
sea we broke,
While the hunted Spanish foxes fed
in wonder.
But amid the awful rattle
Of that steely rain,
Strong Cervera watched the battle
Mid his mounds of slain,
Till his crew,
Faint and few,
Melted as the snow
Of the hills,
When the rills
OF the springtime flow.
Wrecked and burned were all his proud
and stately ships,
Riven by our shot and opened to the
billow,
Every hulk wine-cup at the oceans
lips,
Every broken gun, a seaman's CORY
pillow.
So, in one all-fateful hour
That should famous be,
He beheld the Spanish power
Smitten from that sea
Where of old
Waved the bold
Lion-head of Spain,
Which shall roar
Nevermore
Ger the Spanish Main"
H. F. Thurston in Chicago Record.

An impressive ceremony took place
recently at the largest Lutheran
church in this country, when, in the
presence of over two thousand mem
bers, the pastor and trustees destroyed
a Cancelled mortgage of thirty thou
sand dollars upon the church property,
The document was torn into as many
pieces as there were officers, and at a
given signal each held his piece in the
flame OF a candle till it was consumed,
the pastor exclaiming, so perish all
mortgages on Gods property" When
nothing but the ashes remained, the
people rose and with glad hearts sang
the Doxology. Doubtless few of those
present remembered the historical pre-
cedent: In the year 1852 Henry III,
with the Gospel in one hand and a
lighted taper in the other, swore to
observe the Magma Charta. The arch
bishop and prelates and the king him
self dashed their candles on the
ground, while each dignitary closed
his nostrils and his eyes against the
smoke and smell, with the words, $50
go out with smoke and stencil. the ac-
cursed souls of those who break or
pervert the Charter" to which all re-
piled, amen and Amen but none
more loudly than the king.

Tom Wilson for Probate Judge.

The repu blican primaries will be held
next Tuesday from to o'clock D. M
at the Occidental sta ables. 1t is an i'm
portant primary. Every voter should
be at the polls promptly at o'clock
The polls will be open only three hours
and it will be necessary to vote rapidly
The contest in the Second ward will
be chiefly over Probate Judge There
are two candidates, Thos. G. Wilson
and E. E. Enoch. Mr.. Enoch is the
present Justice of the Peace and we
have nothing to say against him per
sonaliy On the other hand we believe
that Mr.. Wilson deserves and will re-
ceive the support of tue colored heople
at this primary. In the first place he
has no office at the present time. Mr..
Enoch is holding an office. He stepped
out of one office into the office he is
now holding. We always in deciding
betweentwo men, other things being

It would make favorite topic of
conversation for the world if we had
to fight in Cuba against those insur-
gents, in behalf of whom we went to
war. If there were any laughter pos
sible to Spanish misery all Spain
would roar; and as for the peace peo-
pie of this country, with what JUNCTION
they would inquire Didn't we tell
you so?"

During the last outbreak OF cholera
in Korea, the American missionaries
established free hospital, where the
care of house and patients was largely
placed upon the native converts One
aristocratic Korean came to the hos
pital recently and asked if there was
something he could do. There is
nothing now except to mop floors"
was the gentle reply; though that is
continually needed" The native turn
ed on his heel, but at the door paused
and came back. Il cannot go off so,
he laughed. u should have preferred
to carry broth. but will mop floors. >"

dience cannot long remain passive un-

The country may we'll congratulate
itself on the failure Of that part CT the
resolution which led to war, that rec
ognized the republican government Of
Cuba. No one has seen or heard Of
that government since the war began.
The Cuban army turns out to be few
in numbers and Of little assistance to
us, and the people have not flocked to
arms, as we were told they would do.
Nevertheless, the Spanish misrule was
a fact, and it is we'll that it Is ended.

New York. Nov. s-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Msior
General Nelson Miles has submitted to
the war department his report, covering
the entire period OF hostillties between
the United States and spain. Il Is hinted
that certain portions OF the report may
be withheld. as the report deals squsrely
with matters which certain officials
prefer TO keep In the background
That the report Is exhaustive
Is shown by the fact that II covers nearly
two hundred sheets OF closely type
written paper. The report in plain Fog
llsh criticizes Skaters conduct Of the
campaign In Santiago. The report prac-
tically states that the muddled condition
Of matters relating to the army statues,
Is due to the fact that much information
was given but was oOntradicted by the
secretary OF war. The report makes no
reference to the so-cslled Alger- Miles
controversy. but the statements credited
10 Miles are reiterated.
