The War III Cuba.

The brave Cubans continue Ia
appeal in vain to thus government for
recognition OF belligerent rights.
Altho' the revolution has been il
progress three wears. aud has cost
something like 10000 lives. our
wooden headed administration de-
ctues to be convinced that a state Of
war exists in Cuba. Why: Because
Spain owes John Bull SiOO.OOO.GuO
dollars. and London bondholders uxn
the men who own the administration.
That's the situation synthesized. We
cannot recognize the right Of The
Cubans 10 throw off the tyrannical
yoke Of Spain il they possess the
power-we cannot accord TO those
bunIry emaciated men fighting for
their freedom the cGurtcsies We en-
tend to their oppressors. And We
cannot do this because the men We
have elected to represent this liberty
loving nation are dominCered by the

Sh!locks we suffer the bloody and

bition OF ii little mapliuess or deccncy

cousin o. John Bull a fcv dollars.
Thus year by year do our corporation
owned ADMINISTRATION and craven
hearted and corrupt congressman
proclaim To the world that America
Is the friend Of tyranny and the foe
of freedom. II the curse OF heaven
does not fall upon this country for
thus connivinc at this bloody crime,

Sugar Reefs in Nevada.

The Alpine Land K Water Com
pany are negotiating with parties i'll
San Francisco to erect a sugar beet
factory i'll Douglas county. The per-
centage o! sugar in beets rulsed in
Douglas are far i'll excess 0. any rais-
ed in the country and this large per.
centdge has attracted the attention OF
capital in California and the East.
1t will require from three TO five
thousand acres of land to supply a
factory with enough bects t., make il
profitable. Owing to the high per
centage Of sugar, however. it would
require a less acreage in Nevada than
elsewhere. The bee: crop for sugar

a crop has been raised must lie idle
two years, 80 that the land is never
used only every fourth year.

A NOTORIOUS SHAME.

Under this head. Phil Francis has
this ringing editorial in the Stockton
Mail:
The admirer of Speaker Reed. in
sist that he could not gag the House
unless the majority of the House was
willing to be gagged. Tho Speakers
admirers do not give the man credit
for his immense foreefulness. They
do not realize the power be holds in
his grip, nor the logged. immovable
courage with which he yields that
power.
We undertake to affirm that the
Republican majority i'll the house is
bnt the puppet OF the Speakers will.
And We rest the assertion upon ole
simple proposition. Speaker Reed
will not allow Il resolution recogniz-
Ing Cuban belliSerency to come be-
fore the House for n vote. II is evi.
dent that he will moi permit such n
vote because he knows a majority Of
the House will vote aftirmatively.
Therefore we are confronted with the
fact that the majority OF the House
desires to pass a resolution and that
the Speaker, by refusing TO put such
a resolution To vote, overndes the ma.
JoritY and Is III effect the arbitrary
master of the house whose servant be
ironically declares himself to be.
The nation is Inundated and sham
cd. The flag is iusuIted. The Presi-
dent is DETAINED. Our honor is spit
upon by a crowd OF cuwardly butch
IN. \ valiant and high spirited pro-
pie is disgraced in the eyes OF the
world because n single Congressman,
usurping power unknown to the Con-
stituuop. gags the representatives OF
the nation and will permit neither
debate nor a vote nor even remou-
STRANGE.
The Speakers is the tool OF Wall
street. In the estimation of Nall
street the Spanish bonds and securi-
ties are infinitely more valuable than
national honor. The fiat has gone
forth that rather than destroy SPANS
ability 10 pay interest the United
States shall sit idle under insult and
watch with unreSentfuleyes the butch
cry and rape and torture OF thous-
ands OF people lighting hravely for
that same liberty for winch our faith
Pts fought.
There was a time when no nation
under the sun dared TO put an insult
upon our flag; when the honor Of the
republic was kept swee. and clean by
the valor and spirit Of its representa-.
tiyes in Congress; when neither dol
lars nor lives were aught but dust in
the balances when weighed against
the peril OF the nations glory. In
those brave days the republic was so
great, so glorious, so renowned.
How art thou fallen, Luciler, O OF !
morning! How art thou pulled down
that was great among the nations.
The glory has departed from US. and
We are become a byword and a hiss.
ing, a shaking OF the head and a
thing OF scorn among the peoples.
And all this shame covers Us as a
garment TO the sole end that the
bondholdeB OF Wall street mas clip
their coupons uudisturbed.

OF men who went to battle for free.
dom as a bridegroom goes to meet his
bride, you who put in power a Presi.
dent OK putty and a Congress Of

The company has an authorized
capital of $1S.0000 600.
According to statements said to have
been made by President Euston to
brokers, the company was short of
cash for margins, owing to the slump
in the price OF fiaxseed. but would be
in funds shortly. So that the closing of
the trades would not interfere with its
operations in any way whatever. The
price of flaxseed was really below the
cost of production. A large amount
had been sold within a short time at
from S103 to sio5 and the company
would probably be in the market very
soon for the cash flax at 81" 1t is
understood that the banks of Chicago
had loaned the company from 5000, Oc0
to 100000 on warehouse receipts, at
about so cents, being hence amply Sc
cured. None of this seed has been
sold, doubtless, as one banker said,
because they did not wish to take adj
vantage of the company's temporary
embarrassment.
