Cuban Independence.


 The Cubans from day to day con tinue to degrade themselves in the eyes Of all American people. Instead of feeling obligated and thankful to the people who have delivered them from the oppression of Spain and from a life of want and misery, they in one grand crowd seem to delight in giving to those who a few short months since were shedding their ife's blood to give to them the rights and privileges that are en- joyed by the citizens of our own country, all the trouble possible in the formation of a stable govern ment.
 From the highest official to the lowest citizen we receive nothing but abuse, while some Of them de- nounee our officials ia tbe most se- were terms and declare that they will, if necessary, take up arms and drive every American from the country. As a general rule they seem to be a low. tnsoient class of people, who know not what is for their own good.
 A number of Cubans have been given poeitious in the custom house at Havana and the correspondent Of the New York World, writes as follows concerning them.
 Cuban employees at the custom house are dissatisfied with their positions. They do not receive the rate of pay they expected and many have resigned after only one months work.
 The prinelpa. e0mplainers are the "vistas, or appraisers. Under the Spanish administration they re- ceived an average salary of $1, 300 a year and fees. The fees produced the greater income. Now they are confined to a fixed salary, lower than under Spanish rule, and minus fees. Supervision is strict and outside sources of revenues are not allowed.
 The custom house has always been the Mecca of she Havana office seeker. Salary was DO object. Sui fcient it was that man should have a position there. He was set tied for fife. Els fortune was as sared. He had definite position in the community His eredi5 i'm mediately went skgward DO matter what the salory attached 10 his post might be.

It is truly said that at twenty when man is young, he thinks he knows it al; he likes to wag his ac- tive tongue ana exercise his gall; he struts around in noble rage; the world is all his own; he laughs to scorn the world Of age and lists to self alone.

On tomorrow night there will be a regular meeting of our city coun- cil. Among other matters of i'm portance to come up before our worthy "Dads" at that time will be a resolution by Alderman Hiahtow- CT looking to obtaining action by our legislators at Little Rock to permit certain cities and towns is sue aud sell bonds tor the purpose of public improvements, owning and operating water works, lighting plants and street railways. All towns and cities Of the State will be asked to cooperate to bring about such legislation, and if our present legislators will only pass a resolu tion of the same purport it would pave the way for tue much needed relief, and the question would then be submitted to the voters of the State at the next State election.

Boys who have formed the cigar cite habit are like wormy apples they drop long before the harvest time. They rarely make failures in after life, because they do not have any after life.

CREDITORS VS. PRIOLA
Case Has Been Appealed and Will
 Doubtless Go to Supreme Court.

Justice Robinson Friday decided in favor of the plaintiffs in the case of various creditors vs. Frank Rose and John Priola. The defendant has appealed the case to the circuit court, and if it IS decided against him there, the supreme court will be the final court 10 pass upon 1t.
 The facts in the case are as fol- lows: One Frank Rose, some tima before Jan. Both, was the owner of a smal! grocery and confectionery. He appeared to be doing a good business and making money. He suddenly sold out to John Priolo, the defendant in the above case, who claimed he did not know that Rose owed any debts and swore that he was entirely innocent of any at temDt to defraud the creditors at the time of the sale. On account of some of the goods purchased being hidden and were later found in the back room, the court found tbat fraud was practiced at the inception and held in favor of the plaintiffs.
 Late Saturday afternoon Prose cutting Attorney W. B. Sorrells filed information against Priolo, eharg- ing him with perjury.

The Commercial League might do some good work at home to start on by having the brick streets cleaned and kept so. It seems that the city government cannot afford it, else the authorities do not attend to it. Clean the streets before inviting capitalists to see our city, for ap- pearances if not for health and com fort.
