President Mckinley has a plan under

President Mckinley has plan under
consideration by which he is sangulne
that the Cuban war can be settled. 1t Is
In substance the purchase OF indepen-
dence by Cuba of Spain at fixed price
of about 800, 100000, Cuba to issue
bonds for this amount based on custom
receipts and to be guaranteed by the
United States. There has been no cor
respondence between the two govern
ments about this and probably will be
none until more Is known about the dis
aster to the Maine. This event has
checked the development of the scheme.
The difficulty appears to be the attitude
of Spain toward Cuba. Heretofore,
there has been nothing In the movements
of that country looking to settlement in
any way other than complete surrender
of the insurgents. Recent events may
have had softening tendency upon the
Spanish authorities, and the utter fail
ure of Captain General Blanco's autono.
my scheme, and his inability to conquer
the island may have convinced them Of
the utter hopelessness of the task they
have undertaken and may cause them to
listen to a reasonable plan of settlement
by purchase at the suggestion of our
government, but we fear it will be other
wise. One difficulty in the situation is
that the populace of Spain is much more
antagonstic to Cuba and the United
States than the government in power,
aud the leaders of factions are very will
ing to excite the people to riots aud
demonstrations in order to embarrass
the party in power. Not only has the
government Cubans to contend with, but
it also has the populace to placate aud
factions TO fight. The Spanish gov rn.
ment is beset from without and within.

Farm Experimenting

Experiment work on the farm may bt
performed on small plots at moderate
cost. There is no system OF education
that can equal the work of the farmer
himself in experimenting, as soils differ
and work done on one farm may not APP
ply to another. BY experiment he finds
out where he made mistakes, and wher
mistakes can be avoided the creates
difficulties will have been overcome.

Had No Kick COMING.

A few days ago the APPEAL mentioned
the fact that years G Bill Gibson, uho
was an Indian Agent. had a HAT of
naming all the Indian babies born on the
reservation after his personal friends.
While the subject is under consideration
we cannot resist telling a little story in
connection with it.
One day in Virginia City Wells
Drury met the writer OH c.. street and
was foanling with rage.
Look here Sam do you know that in
ternal Bill Gibson, who I always thought
was a friend of mine has named a half
breed kid after me and he's named an
other after you"
At first the circumstance did not strike
us as anything particularly dreadful. but
Drury proceeded to outline the POSSIBLE
tiles of the situation until we were
obliged to join in his indignation.
"Sp"sen Sam II of those little kids
grows up and kills a man or gets il. iail
for stealing horses and our names are
banded about all over the countrv b.,
telegraph, so that our Eastern relatives
think 1t is us that did the killing and the
morse stealing. | don't to have
my name in such deals, Glib is in town
now lets g" and jump him good and hard
and make him change those names t0
Rolien Daggett and Charlie Goodwin. the
fellows that stuck this baby naming into
prin'."
This idea seemed a good one and we
hunted Gibson. AS Drury was the wild
est of the two he opened the ball.
See here Gibson. | see you've been
naming a half-breed Indian after me and
L want to say right here it don't 90,
won't be insulted by you in this wav.''
whats your kick" asked Gibson
hlandly as he lifted a large wad of
tobacco from his pouch.
suppose the Indian grows up to be a
horse thief said Diary hoarsly.
Il see, | see" drawled Gibson. "Hadn't
thought of that. Well Wells if namin'
an Indian kid after You makes him steal
horses think myself l oughtm't to do it.
\ ward of the Government hasn't any
right to be handicapped in that way"
Drury was buried i'm thought and
speeches..
Il named one after you Sam, he con-
tInned. have have You any kick comin?"
NO kick comm Bill" was all we could
say.

PLEASE EXPLAIN,
why Was a Car Load Of Bullion
Shipped From the Mint?

VIII soine of Il Republican contem-
porarieS kindly explain to the APPEAL
while the L. 5. Government shipped a
Car lead of bullion to San Francisco
from the Carson mint to have it coined?
1t could have been coined Just as well
here and better, in fact, as the Carson
Mint stands ahead of all others for per-
1ect coinage and has held that proud
position for years. 1t costs thousands Of
dollars express charges, about ten thous-
and we are told, to send that money away
by Wells Fargo. 1t could have been
coined here at less expense than it could
be sent away.
Now, why does the administration
treat the Mint in this way and put the
taxpayers to extra expense to carry ont
It's assaults on the Carson Nin'. Can
some of our Republican contemporaries
explain this? 1t would relieve the cur
iosity Of a lot of people if they would.
1t looks now as if the Government only
cared 10 coin silver in Carson when there
was a lot of Republican officials on hand
to steal it.
Again, the question might be asked
why they did not ship the bullion in a
mail car with guards, instead of by the
expensive Wells Fargo route? Is this a
government for the people, by the people
and of the people? 1t certainly does not
have the ontside appearance of hat kind
Of a government.
