HAVANA. Dec. pa banquet rendered to
Horatio 8. Elbens tonight by the Cuban Vet
Grams Association was to certain extent an
echo OF the dinner 10 Gen. Brooke on Friday
night. Mr.. Eubens was ono % the chief add
mirers o, the Cuban revolutionists. All tho
revolutionary leaders. negro and white. were
present with the exception OF Gen. MaNimo
Gomez. The dinner was arranged In the Tacon
Theatre and the boxes were crowded with the
leaders o. Havana society. Judging by the
speeches made. the genera! sentiment was not
only overwhelmingly In favor OF Independence.
bu; there was an ungues:ioEing belief ex-
pressed in the intention Of the American
Government 10 give this freedom as soon a.
possible.
Gen. Hernandez spoke for one hour. He
aroused great enthusiasm when he declared
that he knew from an official source that the
American Govern meRt was preparing to turn
Cuba over 20 the Cubans. Even Gualberto
Gomez. the negro leader. spoke in the klniest
manner about the Americans, although for
months he has been beratInG every American.
Nr RubeEs SPOKE in Spanish. He dilated
on the close friendship between the Cubans
and Americans and assured all Cubans that
they would soon be H. ie pendent.
The nembt rs OF the old Revolutionary party
now appear TO have gone over TO the
Conservatives. This action has been taken
because the purposes OF the Two parties
arc Identical with the declarations o. Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary OF War Root.
which Gov. Gen. Wood ia here to carry
out. This revolutionary element 10 the one
which gave Gen. Brooke the most trouble.
Now that they are satished-as they un-
doubtedly are-that their dreams Of Cuba librs
will soon b. realized. 1t Is likely that there will
he less friction.
Gen. Brooke sailed for Tam pa at noon to-dsOk
His wife and his personal aides. Capt. DeaA
and Lieut.. Castle. accompanied him. He was
escorted To the wharf by the artillery and cav.
airy officers tn" men Of the various regiments
ana the band Of the artillery corps.
This afternoon Gen. Ludlow rendered Q
formal reception TO Gny.-Gen. Wood.

Northern Schools.

Against the practice OF sending
Southern children to the North to
receive the educational instruc-
ton which is available at home,
one of our leading metropolitan
daiIies contains Il very strong and
well written editorial. Our space
is too limited to reproduce the
article IN full; bat the following
clipping will portray the gist Of
the sound and practical sense con-
tanned therein:
From the commencement OF
civil war up to the present time, Il
relentless crusade of defamation
has been carried on against the
South by Northern teachers. Text
books, lectures, newspapers, mag
azines and, in many Instances,
church puipits, have been made
the vehicles of attack, Every ln-
stitution that we were taught
from childhood to revere has been
assaulted with malignant hatred;
every tradition and time-honored
custom that inspired our love and
LOYALTY has been held up to scorn;
our struggle for civil liberty has
been represented as a wicked and
wanton rebellion against "tha
best government that the world
ever saw" our purest and best of
both sexes have been cruelty NAL
igned and, with a persistence that
bitter hatred alone can inspire.
these calumnics have been ln>ld-
iously circulated in the South un-
der the cover of historical text

extent has this latter evil growa
that concerted action has been
found neces sary tn correct ii. To
subject Southern children Of an
impressionable age to such maIign
influences as we have noted Is 10
court Il great and serious dan ,er.
A Southern boy imhuel with
Northern ideas and theories viii
always be a discordant factor in
the community in which he lives.
Every consideration Of prudence
and right requires that Southern

WOES AND GRIEF OF THE ADJ
MINISTRATION.

Mckinley has more than Presi
dents usual share of troubles.
Nothing to what he puts his hand
goes quite right. There is a
strong feeling among party lead
ers that some other man would
stand in less danger of defeat
in the next Presidential campaign,
The unloading of Alger merely
had the effect of showing that
Mckinley himself vas respon-
sible for every blunder in the
management of the War Depart
ment; that it was be who made
the horrible mistake of taking the
Philippines away from Spain
that it was he who is responsible
for the disastrous and costly wal
being waged against AguinaIdo.
when the exercise Of ordinary dis
cretion and diplomacy would
have brought about a peaceful So
luton of the difficulty at Manila.
Should the fall elections show
marked administration weakness
; hysssrnttitnent against Mckinney, 5
denomination will gain in strength
and may lead to his defeat. The
trusts and corporations (which

equally seryiceable tool could be
more easily elected next year, or

quickness with (which Mckinley

Miss, and New Orleans, La,
Nav 16, Il, Is, 1899. has been re-
ceiyed. This piece of printing,
always the product of Missis-
sinpi newspaper where connected
with a job plant, carries with it
much interest to the craftsmen.
The work this year comes from
the office of our personal friend

Albany Gazette, and is without
.reproach, except the non-unl-
formity of size to other years.
Otherwise it is a first-class pro-
duct from a frst-class shop.
