Can Cubans Govern Themselves ?

One of the best known diplomatists re-
Gently declared that the Cubans are in

that the United States must maintain its

Is Truly Great.

Of all the hypnotists upon the
American stage, the great McEwen
stands confessedly at the head. The
fact that an entertainer draws enor-
nous audiences is not usually an as
surance that the entertainment is
meritorious, but when public man
in such profession as McEwen's
continues to pack his house to over
flowing night after night, and receives
nothing but the warmest assurances
that he is the greatest hipnotist in
the world, it is certain to be caused
by something deeper than mere gal
lery popularity. We know OF moth
ing that will compare in interest with
the great McEwen. He is one OF
the most advanced mental developers
Of the age. His cataleptical test
with Grace Maynard, one of the la
dies Of his company, Is alone worth
the price Of admission. We may
feel assured that his entertainments
are worth our time and money when
they are spoken of in such terms as
the following: "lf McEwen's enter
tainments do not prove success
throughout the season it will be be
cause they are too clean and too de
cent" Not single feature, while
funny in the extreme, savors of vul
garity, and the ladies were as enthu
siastic in the praise of the perform
ance as the gentlemen. " The grea
McEwen company will appear at TIL,

the the shortest present route, but by 60
ing to Duluth the distance between water
transportation would be shortened at least
400 miles. When one eontemplstes the
greatness of this railroad field offered
and now unoccupied, snd the power and
value il will be to the first to take posses
sion, he begins TO realize, in small way,
the value Of the Weiser railway seeing
that it is an inevitable link in this future
system and will hold the key TO the situa-
ton. 1t seems no better reason could be
given for the interest that the SIGNAL has
taken In bringing the facts before the pub

ance OF our true situation has kept the
country back for years.
1t seems to us that the business
interests Of San Francisco should
move in this matter, seeing the bound
less commercial interests she would
receive. With this line constructed
San Francico would bring to her back
door the entire commerce of this
200, 600 square miles Of territory
with probable population, under
this development, Of five million peo-
pie or more within dozen years. Its
present commerce amounts to over
fifty million dollars annually, which
investigation will prove, and San
Francisco, by having road tapping
the territory, could command it all,
whereas 1t now goes east and wes'
instead of south as it''should. viii

CRITICISM OF CANDIDATES.

This is election year and men are to
10 chosen to fill all elective Offices in
,he State from Governor down to beat
constable. There will be candidates
for every office, and for some a great
mapy In the outset The LEADER
v;sbes to announce q policy in the
treatment of candidates that will be
,gidly adhered to throughout the
campaign.
When man offers for public Office
the people have right to enquire into
his record and to discuss in print his
fitness for the place he asks at their
hands, and if anything is wrong, or the
candidate is sailing under false colors,
to make the facts known. Therefore,
the columns of The LEADER will al
ways be open during the campaign to
lust and legitimate criticism of any
and all candidates; but there are two
things that must be invariably observed
such communications must deal in
facts, and the critics must sign their
own names for publication to what
they write. In no case will we allow a
candidate to be assailed in The LEADER
by anonymous correspondents who
have nothing to offer but mere sus-
pcions, vague insinuations and sland-
erous innuendoes.

chaser credit for the amount paid. To
learn about this send to James Vicks

to do this in their Guide. The Golden
Wedding edition Of Vick's Garden and

work, with its twenty-four pages lith-
ographed in colors, and nearly one hun
dred more pages filed with handsome
haif-tone Illustrations, photographed
homes.
While this Guide is really too ex-
pensiye TO give away, they give it with a
Due Bill for 25 cents worth of seeds
LOT only 10 cents. Another new feature
Is the doing away with the old packet OF

tity IN each case, the buyer getting more

LONGING FOR GOVERNOR.

So far, the honorable gentlemen who
have announced themselves as candi-
dates for Governor, are all of such fine
material, the State might shut her eyes
and grab and not fail in getting good
man, but Judge Longino, Of Greenville,
Miss, is our first choice for the follow
ing reasons: Having known him from
his youth, we know him to be man Of
solid convictions, morally and political
~ Twenty-Five years ago, a fresh
graduate from Mississippi College,
Judge Longino taught an old field
school on Silver Creek, Lawrence
county, in the community in which we.
lived, near where he was born. Living
on a little piney woods place with q
wife and three children, we had just
commenced to preach. The interest
he then manifested in our literary we'll
being will never be forgotten. In our
stammering way we preached in the
old log school house on Sunday and
Judge Longino ("Little Uncle" as he
was then called by his nephews and
nleces who were older than he,) was
frequent attendant at our service.
Cant you come to my school3' he
said to us one day in that unassuming
way that is characteristic of the man.
III you will let me teach you in the
week you may teach me on Sunday,
and it will not cost you a cent" he
said. 4sS
We told him if he wanted to swap us
little schooling for preaching we
we're right in for the trade, and we
traded. As soon as we '.laid by" our
crop, we invested in a blue back spell
ing book, Smiths grammar and other
books in like proportion and were
1 soon sitting at Judge Longino's feet,
#nlie ne taught us that .John is a
proper noun because it is a particular
Hame."
