Starvation in Cuba.

Secretary Sherman has issued his
third appeal to the American public in
behalf of the starving Cubans and
again calls attention to the urgent
necessity for immediate relief, as fol-
lows.
To the Public:
The undersigned, Secretary of
State of the United States, had the
honor, on the Gath of Dece m Der, to
make known to all charitabIy dis
posed people OF this counrry the ap-
peal OF the President for aid, in the
form Of money or supplies, toward the
speedy relief OF the distressing desti-
tuition and suffering which exists
among the people of Cuba.
The gratifying interest which his
cOuntrymen have shown in all parts
of our land in that humane appeal has
led the President to recognize the need
OF orderly AMI concerted effort, under
well directed control, if timely assist
ance is to be given by the public to
the sick and needy in Cuba.
The Consul-General at Havana is
assured of the effective cooperation of
every available agency in the island of
Cuba in order that life may be saved
and suffering spared. The Spanish
Govern ment, welcoming the aid thus
rendered, will facilitate the work, and
to that end will admit into Cuba, free
of duties and charges, all articles.
otherwise liable to tax, when duly con-
signed to the Consul-General
by direction of the President the
undersigned appeals to the people in
every city and town, to the municipal
authorities thereof and the local
| boards of trade and transportation, to
corporations and others producing the
| necessities of life, and to all whose
hearts are open to the cry of distress
and atft elton. to the second generous
| Effort now being made, and by we'll
directed endeavor make its success
truly responsive to the sentiments of
charity that have ever characterized
the American people.
John SHERMAN,
Secretary of State"
The Governor of Kentucky has like
wise made an appeal of the same ma
ture and has appointed w. G. Colde-
wey, Of Louisville, KY, as Chairman
of the Relief Committee for Kentucky,
to whom funds or supplies may be
sent, properly marked Cuban Relief
Fund" Such funds or supplies will
be promptly forwarded to the Central
Relief Committee at New York, and
through such Committee be properly
distributed where most needed
throughout the island of Cuba, and to
which end the transportation compa-
MES have Offered their facilities free

ments will lend every aid.

For the first time since the lnsur.
rection broke out in Cuba three years
ago, the United States Government is
represented in the harbor of Havana
by warship At special meeting at
the White House Monday morning be-
tween the president, Secretary Long,
Assistant Secretary Day, Attorney
General McKenna and General Miles,
it was decided to send the excellent
battleship Main to the seat of war.
The Navy Department insists that no
significance is to be attached to the
order, which it describes as merely a
resumption of the policy, recently IN
terrupted, of having war vessels call
occasionally at that port 1t was an
nounced that Consul General Lee had
not asked for a war ship and that
Spanish Minister De LONE was fully
advised as to the nature of the orders
for the movement of the Maine. De-
spite these pacific assurances. the gen.
eral opinion at Washington is that Lee
has called for a war ship and that the
Maine goes to Havana for the protec-
ton of American interests.
We try to prevent having such an
opinion, bat the presentiment will
come that this grand country is itch
ing, so to speak, for war and that we
will finally succeed in getting into one.
In other words, Uncle Sam has a chip
on his shoulder and by continually
daring some one to knock it off, the
right party will finally be found. We
believe the United States can whip any
other nation on the globe, and are
confident that many of the high off,
Gals think the same way, but the
simple fact that we can lick 'em is no
reason why we should. There is al
ways a way to avoid trouble if one
wants to avoid it and in these blessed
days of peace all differences can be
amicably settled if those interested
only desire that it be done that way.

PUBLIC building bills introduced in
Congress at this session call for appro-
priations aggregating $50. oOo,Ooo 1t
is a pet scheme of congressman to get
bills through for erecting buildings in
their district. and thereby gain few
votes. Congressman understand each
other, they are all there fer the same
purpose, and when one wants bill
passed the ''sign" is given and it goes
through like soft soap through a
CREASED tin horn. The public build
ing law is almost as badly abused as
the pension laws, though no kicks are
ever heard coming against it.

How to Find Out.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition OF the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out Of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
