ALL is NOT
Harmony In the Island Of
Cuba.

The Cuban Assembly, which was
organized by and from the Cuban army
at the close of the war, has deposed Gen.
Gomez and other leading Cubsns be-
cause they have accepted the offer of
the United States to pay 100000 to
the Cuban army, on the condition that
it disbsnd. They say this was done
without consulting the Assembly, and
that the Assembly is the only authority
In Cuba that has any right to negotiate
with the United States.
But the money will be paid to Gomez
a. directed, and those who do not choose
to accept it, will 60 without.
This country went to war with the
avowed purpose of stopping the war in
Cuba, and giving the Cubans an indie.
pendent government.
We, (not the Cubans) conquered the
armies and navy of Spain, and Spain
surrendered the sovereignty of the
island to the United States. To give the
island an independent and stable gov
ernment, we must first find what the
people want. A census must be taken
and q registry of all voters must be
obtained, then we can give the people
an election, and see what kind of I
government the majority of them want
and can then turn the island over to thei
government. We cannot recognize th'
Assembly or any other body, as hay
ing . right to rule the island till
public vote has been taken and tn
will of the people made known.
If the Assembly presumes to disput
our sovereignty, it will soon learn bet
ter.
Ii the Philippines had been treated q
We propose to treat Cuba, we woul
have adopted the same course ther'
but our Government has decided not I
recognize the independence of th
Philippines, and we will simply hol
: those islands by the right of conquest.

Mr. CAMPBELL. EDITOR:
Seeing many things in your paper
about the Oldest residents, since the death
of Jehu Brown, I will inform you that
stokes township comes to the front.
There ie in the Vanhorn burying place
an old lady by the name OF McMullln,
l24 years; another lived many years ego
on the Muchinippi, LOG; another. MIR.
Taylor, SO, and now in Lake View are
Messrs. Stokes, Martin, Riley, Clayton,
Pugh, Mrs. Carver; in the country,
Peterson, Martin, R Honchin, l.
aonchin, E HonchlD, several over 70
running to s., which tells well for oul
old township.
Any one contemplating moving here
can come and see for themselves a great
number of others from 65 to 70-stil
hearty, old people. I think Stokes car
beat any other place in the State. Th'
old residents can answer for that respec-

1t has been held that consumption is hered
itary, and the fact that one person of fam
lily had died with consumption was considered
q sure sign that others of that family could not
escape it. This is partly untrue. man with
weak lungs is likely to transmit that weakness
to his children. But there is no reason in the
world why the weakness should be allowed to
develop. Keep the lungs full of rich, red,
wholesome blood, and the weakness will dis
appear. Decaying tissues will be thrown off,
and new material will be added until the lungs
are well and perfectly strong again. This is
| the thing that DR.. PIerce's golden Medical Dis
covery does. This is what makes it cure 9s
per cent. of all cases of consumption where il
| is taken according to directions. 1t searches
