It's up to the People.

Less than a year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction. is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts
The evils are not of spontaneous
growth! They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollars! Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire.
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transporting, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
! political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
nave representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
.ooh beyond their plausible decep-
tons. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 will end the era of
greatest good to greatest number.
Watch carefully the
Cincinnati Enquirer.

DR.. and Mrs. w Fl. Kunst gave a
social at their home to d number of
friends last Saturday evening. Music,
both vocal and instrumental. was the
dominant feature of the occasion, but
the refreshments were part of the
programme that was much enjoyed.
Willie, son OF the Hon. John w.
Mason, gave chrysanthemum party
to number of his young friends last
Friday evening at the home of his pa

joyable one to all present. Music and
games of various kinds were the order
throughout the evening.
Mine Host T. A. Deveny, Of the
Marietta Hotel, has two pet rattle
snakes. One is black, the other spot
ted. He said at first that his uncle
sent them to him from ireland, but
he afterwards told us that they were
captured in Braxton county, and
brought down and presented to him
by Arthur Martin. The spotted one
is quite large. They are both good
specimens of one of Braxton's chief
products.
On Tuesday of this week the Royal
Tribe of Joseph, through Prof. G. W.
Evans, Scribe. paid to Mrs Josie
Swisher 81, 250, this being the amount
of insurance carried in that order by
her husband, the late j. f. Swisher.
Mr.. Swisher's was the third death to
occur in this Lodge since it was insti-
tuted about one year ago, and the
total amount that has been paid out
by reason of the deaths is S., $50.
1t is our pleasure for the seventeenth
time to congratulate our townsman,
Captain E. A. Billingslea on his cleo
tion to the office of Grand Secretary
Of the Grand Lodge of West Virginia,
|. o. o. f. Captain Billingslea has
served in that capacity for the past
sixteen years, and at the meeting OF
the grand body in Huntington last
week was again elected to succeed
himself. The Captain is very capa-
BILE Secretary and this accounts for his
continuation in Office, 1t would be
difficult for his brethren to find a bet
ter qualified man for the place, and it
may be added that bis attachments
are such that he would grace any posi-
ton, political or otherwise.

tial to hard labor in convict stone
quarry. In 1885 after IA years i'm
prisonment, these young men were
declared innocent by the Spanish
Government and released: the son OF
the Spaniard submitting certificate
that his fathers tomb had not been
disfigured by students; and the Gov
eminent permitted the removal OF
the bodies which had been buried
in trench outside) to the interior
of the cemetery, and this exquisite
monument, which was designed and
made in Carrara, at cost of $50,
600, was paid for entirely by sub
seription among the Cubans. Every
year on the 9th of November relig-
ious ceremonies take place in the
Mortuary Chapel OF the cemetery,
the University in the City Is closed,
and all the students attend the exer-
eises in a body
Yes, the 9th of November Our
mournful day! Mr. Augusta de la
Tore, one of those innocents who
fell under the homicidal lead and his
brother Alfredo, that was imprison-
ed with him though not killed was
condemned to hard labor in Spain,
both are cousins Of ours. Alfredo
in Spain made his escape ana went
TO France, where 10 the University of
Montpelier he finished his studies,
taking the degree Of Doctor in Medt-
cine. He is at present in Cuba
where the American Government ha :
appointed him for very important
charge. Several times he has re
lated to us the terrible details of
those two days, the last parting from
his eldest brother Augusta, alter
wards when he from the dungeon
heard the shots accompanied by the
savage joyful crying of the low peo-
pie that witnessed the murder; and
he, remembering all that, can't re-
late it without tears, without signs.
To-day our Cuban home is all
grief, all mourning. Those mothers,
those families miss their dearest
boys whom they sent to an lnstitu-
ton of learning to find Education
and they did not come back home for
they found a tragic death. Could
Americans ever forget their 18th of
February, and Cubans their 9th of
November? Oh, never! Let us to-
day mingle our tears and together
weave a crown of Immortality for
the marble shaft Of those innocent
Martyrs Of Civilization.
The Both of this month shall be
for Cuba her First Thanksgiving
Day in history. Have we, Cubans,
not plenty of cause for giving thanks
