One of the problems that confronts this country if war comes is the re- sponsibility that will devolve upon the United States to provide stable and efficient government for Cuba. The case is thus stated by the Tribune:
 s"That is the supreme consideration of the whole case. In no circumstances would it be light responsibility to as- sume. There are more than million people in Cuba, after all the hundreds of thousands destroyed by Weyler's ex- termination policy. They are aliens to us in race and culture. They are tur- bulent and passionate. They are ignor- ant of even the rudiments of self-gov- ernment. For many years they have been in a state of chronic revolt againss the only government they have had.

Timely Preparation.

1t will soon be time for the tramp
nuisance again and it is best to to
take time by the forelock and be pre-
pared for them. This is the way
Lake City intends to dispose of them,
and in a very effective way Morris
should do likewise. Says the Repub-
lican: CAT the last meeting of the
common council, committee was ap-
pointed to devise means of abating
the tramp nuisance. The plan which
has been proposed is similar to the
one adopted by the authorities in
other towns, and if every family will
cooperate with the committee in their
work the willy tramp will turn cold
shoulder on Lake City. This is the
plan: Every family will be provided
with number of printed tickets, each
one of which will entitle the holder to
a meal. When the tramp knocks at
your side door and asks foa food. pre-
sent him with ticket and refer him
to the city marshal. If the severity
Of your remarks does not fall too
heavily, he will accept the gift and
follow directions. The key to the
success of the scheme is, that, al
though the ticket is good for a square
meal, the city sets the table, and the
tramp will have to pay the board bill
in labor at the stone pile or on the
street. The plan is an excellent one
and if properly worked the tramp
problem can easily be solved"

ats an i'll wind that blows no one
good" The passage of the law requir-
ing aliens to become citizens in order
to vote has so increased the clerk of
courts receipts that the county has
received S2,O91.2O revenue from that
Office during the past two years, a.
bout $3.50 being received for 1895 and
almost ST. $3.50 for 1897. The law re-
quires that the receipts of the clerks
Office over 81, 500 shall be turned into
the county treasury, but before the
naturalization law referred to was
passed the receipts very seldom ex-
ceeded the limit in any considerable
amount. Now the clerk must perform
all this additional work without adj
ded compensation. The present rush
will not last long, however. In a year
or two the receipts will fall back to
where they were several years ago.

r1ARKET REVIEW.
Late Reports direct from the Chi
ca9o Board of Trade.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Wheat traders
are beginning to realize that, in spite
of the talk of professional bears and
their positions that the cereal is on
too high price plane, it gains strength
every week.
Today when it was learned that all
the European markets were higher,
wheat took a sudden jump, opening
at 9248 for May, and it sold higher
than that before the session was over,
while the breaks were few and unim-
poatant. Talk that holders of a big
line of cash wheat had refused to sell
it to French syndicate at 92c were
generally believed, and such facts
would indicate that much better
prices are confidently expected by
men who have already invested vast
amounts of money in wheat and who
are in no sense spectators.
Corn holds steady in price around
29c for May, but it is an article the
supply of which is SO large that no
fluctuations in the price are to be
looked for. Provisions on the other
hand, are in better demand just now
than for months past, and while val
ues do not advance with sensational
rapidity there is nevertheless a steady
upward trend most encouraging to
holders of the product.

Lecture.

Great interest is being manifested
in the lecture of DIR. j P D. John,
ex-president of De Paw University,
which is to be given in Morris on the
evening of Thursday, Feb. 3rd, under
the auspices of our schools. This
great lecture, which has attracted
world wide attention and called forth
multiplied thousands of columns of
favorable criticism from the daily
press, is in the nature of reply to
Agnosticism in general and to the
assays and lectures of Col. Ingersoll,
in particular. Dr. John is everywhere
recognized as a man of magnificent
brain power, careful and profound
thinker, and an eloquent and most
entertaining speaker. We trust that
the people of this community will
avail themselves of this splendid op-
portunity of hearing great theme
discussed by one of our greatest plat
form orators.

While ordinarialy it would not be
necessary to test the terminating
qualities of seed wheat this year it is
an important matter and should be
attended to at once as the following
from an exchange will show: Zone
farmer by actual test found that out

1t would seem to be of the utmost
Importance that every farmer test his
seed wheat so that in case he finds it
worthless as seed he may procure
seed wheat in ample time, and avoid
an awkward predicament at seeding
time"

A team belonging to George NJ
gent,of the town of Hegbert more than
made things lively in town yesterday
day noon. While unloading a load
of wheat at Stewards elevator, the
teamstook fright and started out of
the driveway and down main street
at one minute clip, with the driver
on the load and a hold of only one
line, but fortunately they turned the
corner at Gaffney's hotel which upset
the wagon, and they were soon
stopped. No damage, with the ex-
ception of spilling little wheat was
done, the driver landing on his feet
as the load tipped over.

S2,703.09 paid to patrons. 1t was de-
cided to start the creamery March list
or as soon after as practical.
We owe largely the success of the
creamery to o. G. Caswell, the secre-
tary and general manager, and to
A. j. Glover, the butter maker. Mr..
Caswell took great deal of interest
in the creamery and looked after it
more carefully than he did his own
business. Mr.. Glover made good
butter and it made good name in
the market and brought good price.
Messers, Caswell and Glover were
the two very best men we could get
to run our creamery The above is
