been read at the regular meeting
scheduled for last Tuesday, but owing
to the lack Of quorum was not taken

Of the various questions referred to the
executive committee with power to act, only

Where Are They At?

Now that the strain upon attention
is relieved by the surrender of the
Spanish forces in the eastern portion
or Santiago province, it can take note
of some things that passed with little
remark at the time. Where is Gen.
Gomez, that sturdy patriot. whom the
yellow press fairly idoliZed? We have
heard that he was up in the province
of Puerto Principe, somewhere in its
interior, with a squad of soldiers, but
that is all. Why was he not down
near Santiago with Garcia? Why was
he not hanging on Pando's TANKS when
that general was marching to reinforce
Linares? He was going to drive all
the Spaniards into the sea without any
help from us if we would but recognize
the republic of Cuba. He appears to
have suddenly lost his driving pur-
poses.
Then, where is that ''hoontah" of
which we heard so much until war was
actually declared? Is it, too, in the
sulks because the republic was not
recognized and those bonds given some
prospects OF having value pumped into
them? Where are Quesada and Palma?
Did they not assure the country that
the insurgents held all Of the eastern
portion of the island and that there
were no Spaniards there, except a few
at Santiago? And now it comes to
light that they held nothing at all, and
that $4,000 Spanish soldiers in the part
of Santiago held by Linares kept them
from holding anything. Some good,
sentimental folk are being walked out
of pleasant dream about Cuba libre
and the patriotic Cubans, but The
u D is not one Of them.
Then there is this news from Wash
1ngton that the president has named
or will name Gen. Shafter as governor
general of Santiago. What becomes
OF that other fellow whom Garcia ap-
pointed to the same office the other
day? And where is that mysterious
Cuban government that it's representa-
tlves are not down there establishing
order and taking charge of affairs :?
what is it for if not to step in behind
the military and establish civil gov
eminent? And, if we went into this
war to free Cuba and the Cubans whv
is not that government invited to take
the job of governing Santiago and
showing the world what Cubans free
can do?

in mind that this was the chief pur-
pose for which our fund was created,

relation between the human and the
animal disease must not be overlook
ed.

Such talk had little effect. In 1872
your party was heading towards freer
trade and the house considering a
bill from the commerce committee the
fourth section of which admitted for
elgn-built ships of 1900 tons and over

1t. May he spoke to the bill. He
said: I'VE cannot build these ships
now in competition with English shin
builders. Under the circum-
stances, when we cannot build them
within 20 or 80 per cent of the cost in

why not admit them duty free, raise

The members of the state board of health
will remember that we made q start in this
line year ago, doing some experimental
work in Renville and Mcleod counties. At
previous meetings of the board we have dis
cussed the various plans for doing this work.
but the one now in operation has seemed the
most practical.
1t was decided to employ a man for special
work connected with hog cholera during the
summer. Dr. j. G. Armand, OF Minneapolis,
was engaged. and he began his tour through
the state May %. He visited thirty-two town

Of the utmost Importance that we use every
effort to control the disease In this locaIty,
because the outbreaks reported last season
apart, and the infected territory was COM
paratvely limited. For this reason l nave
planned that DR.. Armand may spend soine
time in Stearns county this summer
Perhaps l should explain the kind OF WORK
DR.. Armand is doing. We have blocked out

townships in width Just north OF last year

cycle, going from township to township, get

boards and whenever possible with otner
members of the board The purpose OF MS
visits is to get them to realize that hog cno--
era is an infectious disease and to arouse
them to the danger Of further spread during
the season.
He furnishes each chairman with a
complete hog cholera file containing
all blanks, circulars, placards, infor-
nation, ETC., explains their use and
gives as much information as possible
concerning the disease itself, usually
taking dinner or supper or perhaps
staying over night with the chairman.
He seems to be getting along nicely,
and I am particularly pleased to know
that he has been kindly received by
the members Of town boards who seem
glad to secure this information.
This is perhaps much more effective
than the distribution Of printed mat

method, in view of the size of our state
and the appropriation at hand for do

Times are good. With the war actually
upon US the scare of March and April is ovsr
and we are demonstrating to ourselves that
we can carry on a distant war and hardly
know it were it not for the newspapers.
Stimulating many kinds Of business, even if
Injurious to others, we can have great pros

ought net to delude ourselves with the idea
that it enriehes US, as 1t takes from one
class to benefit another. The West is ful.
of money, having become rich from the high
prices Of its crops, and will be enriched much
more by those of the present year. The
trend of prices is generally upward, and
hence the fear of their failing no longer de-
ters purchasers from investing.'
