SENATOR German has never posed
as an alarmist, but he never fears to
speak the truth because it NAV be
alarming. just before the Senate
passed the regular pension appro-
priation bill, which carries $145. 900.
900. Mr.. German made n speech call
ing attention to the fact that although
it was estimated that the war with
Spain would add so, 900 names to the
pension roll unless our troops were
recalled from the tropics before the
sickly season, no provision whatever
had been made in the bill for the in
crease. Mr.. German concluded with
this significant predictions: Within
three wears from this date the PEN
sion roll will amount to $165. 900. 900.
If YOU add to that the cost of main
tanning your army Zone thousand
dollars MANI. the American repub-
lie will. in the year 1900. eNpend
more for its army and pensioners
than any other nation on the face of
the earth. That is a fact which the
American people will have to face,
and they ought to know now in add
vance what is coming to them, if the
schemes and projects which are being
forced upon us are carried out"

THE country papers are the palladl-
ums of our liberty, declares n recent
writer. And he undertakes to prove
the correctness of the assertion in
this wise:
The. country paper as the
county weekly is generally called. is
about the only means left to preserve
the spark of liberty in this country.
There is not n metropolitan paper in
the United States, we care not what
political party ii pretends to affiliate
with, but what is edited and conduct
ed entirely and exclusively on the
toad eating plan. They fawn and
tlutter around the tainted, tinseled
and glittering scum that pose as
"sawciety" leaders and bend the
pregnant hinges of the knee to those
in high positions of trust-but never
a criticism do they have to offer when
not only severe criticism, but ccnsurc
and exposure of their corrupt acts are
due to the public. The big papers
are all run on the policy plan and
"supported by the same prop"

North Salem, Ind. Oct pa des-
perate street fight between members of
a Tennessee colony recently located
here and citizens of North Salem to-
day resulted in the instant death of
one man and the fatal wounding Of
another, and minor injuries for many
others.
The dead:
WILLIAM MACKEY, a Tennesseean.
William Ragen, a druggist of North
Salem, will die.
The trouble has been brewing for
some time, and it came to-day when a
number of the Tennesseeans started
a row in Ragens store.
The proprietor tried to quel the dis
turbances but found himself in dan
ger of being trampled and beaten to
death. Stationing himself behind a
counter. he opened fire with two re-
volvers. Instantly pistols We're drawn
on all sides and then the fight spread
out into the street, where it became
general. Women tainted and passers-
by sought shelter in stairways and
behind telegraph poles. More than %
shots were fired. No one can or will
tell who fired the fatal shots. The
town is quiet tonight, but the Ten
nesseeans are vowing vengeance, and
the citizens are arming themselves for
an attack

CUBA REVIVlNG.
Steadily Improving Under the Protection
of the United States.

Washington, Oct. 29.-General Fitzhugh
Lee, who arrived in Washington last
night from New York, said in an inter-
view to-day that the people of Cuba are
steadily improving under the protectoratc
of the United States and are slowly but
surely rebuilding up their war-wasted
homes and repairing their crippled for
tunes. Life and property are secure in
Cuba, owing largely to, he said, to the
salutary restraint exercised by American
military authority. He thinks the time
not ripe yet, however. for a purely Cuban
government.
"The Cubans," said General Lee, "are
tractable and quiet and the revolution
has given them self-respect and self-re-
lance. Their impulses are generally in
the right direction, but, of course. both
in the theory and practice of self-gov-
eminent they are wholly without expe-
rience The United States government is
pledged to grant independence to Cuba
after the islands shall be pacifled. and I
believe the promise should be fulfilled
just as swiftly as we can do so in rea-

Charlotte, N. c.. Oct. 29.-In address,

ufacturers and planters, John Barrett
late United States minister to Siam,
said:
THE time will soon come when the
far East will consume every pound of
surplus cotton manufactured or raw,
that the South can produce, making
her independent of the markets Of
England and Europe. To accomplish
this result four conditions are neces-
sary which are in themselves inter-
dependent-first, construction of the
isthmian canal; second, the laying of
a trans-Pacific cable; third, protection
of markets in China according to
treaty rights. and fourth, permanent
control of the Philippines"
These sentiments expressed were re-
ceived with warm approval

Permanent Cure.
If you see woman or man with

women and men have thin, brittle hair
they owe it to Gandruff. There are
hundreds of preparations that claim

Newbro's Herpicide tells you that dan
druff is the result of a germ hurrow-

Kid Mccoy took steps yesterday to bring
about fight with Bob Fitzsimmons by post
ing ST. 900. Mccoy is determi ned on getting on
a match with the former champion at 15S
pounds. butfailng In this he will agree to a
battle at catchweiRhts. McCoy's plan Is to let
the money remain for one month. Should
Ftz ignore him 1t is the Kids intention at the
expiration OF that time to claim tho middle
weight title OF champion by default. Then he
will agree to a mil at catchweightn "Ithink
this fair" said Mccoy yesterday. Il am enti-
tied to night him and money talks. and II Fitz-
simmons refuses to give mo an audience. the
public will readily see who Is at fault.
As regards Tommy Ryan, he knows can not
get down to l54 pounds. But 1913 pounds will
suit me and If he cares to give his friends the
impression that he is not bluffing let him cove
my 81. 900 and will fight him before l tack la
