Of starvation and extermination--a war
more cruel than the world has ever SEEN"
In describing Havana he said: '"The
scenes in the streets Of Havana are har-
rowing beyond description. People in
want and suffering are everywhere seen,
and walking skeletons meet one on every
hand Naked children, emaciated and
ragged women and diseased and starving
men throng the streets, the hotel lob
bies and every place Of public resort
1t Is a terrible sight-one that sickens
the heart and Quickens every impulse Of
human sympathy and love. Under the
very shadow Of cathedrals and churches,
where Spain's authority is absolutely un-
questioned, the most horrible conditions
are conceded to exist. Many have re-
fused to believe that great government
was waging a war OF determination in
stead Of war Of honor, yet such Is an
absolute fact" His description Of Ma
tanzas was a much more narrowing tale.

soTHAMs HEREFORD PHILOSOPHY

Among the Hereford maxims practlctd
at the WeaVergraCe Hereford breeding
form are these: Individual merit by In
heritanCe, that every animal in Sothams
sale shall be Of the purest blood tracing
through the most celebrated ancestors
and that every individual be worthy OF
founding or augmenttng the very best
herds. In order that the merits and ac-
tual worth OF the "white-face" cattle be
more extensively known and appreciated
Mr., Sotham went, last fall, into the Pan
handle of Texas and contracted 5000
grade Hereford calves, sired by regis
tered bulls and out of cows by pure-bred
bulls, for distribution In lots Of 100 or
more among practical feeders in Illinois
and Missouri who, when they turn the
cattle on the Chicago market, they al
most invariably top the market on the
day sold At the late stockmens con-
veRtion held at Fort Worth, Tex, Mr..
Sotham was offered an advance Of $4,000
for his contract, but such is his plan TO
let the value Of grade Herefords be
known, he refused to change his plans
at any price. Another special feature Of
the Weavergrace management is that all
the increase Of the herd is positively re-
tained for disposal at regular annual sale
and none ever sold at private sale, thus
affording all appreclative Hereford buy
ers an equal opportunity to secure the
choicest animals offered during each
year. On Wednesday, April 1S, 1893, the
regular sale will be held and 1t Is the
opinion Of the writer that all acquainted
with the makeup Of the annual Weaver
grace offerings will find this one the best
individually and collectively that Mr..
Sotham has ever offered.

to account2 Was It not a wanton act OF
war; Have not Spain and her people
rejoicei over it2 Is it not in character
with her cruel, crafty, murderous policy2
No doubt we have been drifting to
wards war with Spain. The chance Of
keeping from it have been getting less
and less, til now it is inevitable, and
may break out any day.
As usual there is "peace party"
people who have sought, and though
war could and should be avoided. In
this view they have temporized for de-
lay.
The horrors of Spanish rule in Cuba
have helped to arouse the American
people to point where the feeling is
that Spain must be expelled. Her mis-
rule, anarchy and cruel oppression in
Cuba must come to an end. We cannot
longer be troubled and annoyed by such
a neighbor.
At last congress and the American
people have triumphed over the peace
party, the chief factors in which are the
speculative mammon cliques and their
special friends, in and out OF official
position. Spain must be brought to
acknowledge the independence of Cuba.
In time an armstice to arrange terms
will be in order,
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1898-04-21

No doubt plans of attack are already
well matured, and when che campaign
opens, the army and navy wi move
promptly and with spirit, for they have
been long anxious for the orders "On to
Cuba"
The fist place to capture will prob.
ably be Havana, and there are no
Spanish w5r ships in the way and can
not be for week or two.
The flying squadron will likely make
for Porto Rico and can reach there be-
fore Spain's war ships arrive.
Our Asiatic squadron will, in all
probability, pay its respects to the
PHILIPPINES, A naval contest may take
place there as there is a Spanish feet,
but not of much strength.
We will know more of all this by and
bye.

After a great contest the Senate and
House at last agreed on Monday night,
or rather on Tuesday morning. The re-
sponsbility of enforcing the interven-
ton decree of Congress now devoIves
upon the President as the commander.
in-chief of the land AMI naval forces.
The first Of the joint resolutions de-.
clares the people of Cuba ''are and Of
right ought to be free and independent" :"
This is not as full and complete as the
Turpie recognition amendment of the
senate, but it will do.
The second resolution demands that
Spain "At onca relinquish its authority
and government in the island of Cuba
and withdraw its land and naval forces
from Cuban waters" This is plain and
is virtual declaration Of war.
The third resolution directs and EN-.
powers the President "To use the entire
land and naval forces Of the United
States and to call into the active service
of the United States the militia of the
several states to such extent as may be
necessary to carry these resolutions into
effect" This is strong, and is unmis-
taxable. 1t invests the President with
full power, and with the sinews of war to
enforce the decree.
The closing resolution is very appro-
pirate, declaring that "The United
States hereby disclalms any disposition
or intention to exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over said island,
except for the paciecation thereof, and
asserts its determination when that is ac.
complished to leave the government and
control Of the island to its people"
That is an answer to the imputations Of

self sh motive in the purposed interven
ton to oust Spain from Cuba.
We may expect stirring news in
very few days, for the parleying has
been got along with, and acts will soon
be manifest and in order. OF course
Spain must be notified that she must
abandon Cuba and short time will be
given for her reply. This will doubtless
consume few days but we will see.

Cleveland, April 2O.-(Special. The
case against W. j. Piero was set for trial
in the United States court in this city at
10 O'Clock this morning, and Mr.. Piero
and his attorneys were on hand ut that
hour. Another case, however, was being
argued and the Piero case went over
until O'Clock this afternoon. Mr.. Piero
is charged with having in his possession
property belonging to the United States
government. He is represented by At
torney Virgil P. Kline, of this city, as
sisting Charles G. Bow of Canton. It Is
reported here that John Eckhardt, a
member of the gang which Piero is said
to represent, and who is now in Jail here,
has turned states evidence. 1t is further
stated il iero's attorneys are con-
hdent of clearing Piero of the charges
against him and that their evidence will
be somewhat sensational.
