dictionary definition, says the Brook

kings knows that it is game of cour-
age and that the race is not to the
swift but to the man who believes in
himself. AS an indication of character
poker beats phrenology hands down.
1t Is the nations of great poker play
ers who conquer the earth. Shafter,
who will send more prisoners home
from Cuba than he ever had soldiers

1ackpots, while when poor Toral gam
pied he took chances at roulette and
faro, games admirably adapted to the
genius OF the superstitious Spaniard,
because fate, rank outsider, controls
the result. In poker every man is his
own fate. That is why Americans play
IL and why Gen. Schenck, who taught
1t to the British, was a more popular
minister than many better diplomat.
Gen. Miles, who, when it became evil

common ground on which the western

THESE two branches have many COM

That is why they fought side by side

Instead of prohibiting poker, the Aus

A Governors Road Message.

The recent message OF Governor
Smith, of Vermont, to the State Leg
islature, dealt largely with goodroads.
Their present law, he asserted, is en-
tirely wrong, as over $50, 900 are an
nually collected and then distributed
among the towns, to be spent by 245
highway commissioners in repairing
the roads of their respective towns,
while not cent of it goes into perma-
nent work or furnishes any lasting
benefit to the State. The money is
spread out so thin thatitis practically
thrown away.
The idea of the law was that the
smaller towns would receive from the
State, in the annual distribution, more
than they had paid as their share of
the tax, but the increase proves to be
too small to be of any material bene-
fit. On the contrary, the small towns
would receive far greater advantages
il the tax were used toward building
permanent roads and they were con-
nected by them with the railways to
which they are obliged to carry their
P'0' ''' prepared by the
/ uO,eIAo4 ~ s-.o,5 the cost of trans
portation of the products of Vermont
from various towns which lie away
from the line of the railroads, to the
railroads, as compared with the cost
Of transporting the same article from
the railroad to market. From these
statistics it appears that on butter,
lumber, granite, lime, brick, cement
and hay the rate is from 50. so to 81
per ton by team from the point of
production to the railroad, while the
rate to haul the same articles from the
railroad station to the point of con-
sumption is but from 49, down to
Sligo per ton. In none of these in
stances does the haul by team exceed
twelve miles; in none of the instances
is the haul by railroad less than 140
miles.
''The rates by railroads." said the
Governor, twill never. in my judg-
ment, be higher, SO that whatever can
be saved by improved roads out of the
cost of teaming these products ought
to go into the pocket of the producer
of the hay or the butter or the lumber
or granite or whatever is teamed. The
standard authorities give the saving in
cost of teaming over good roads as
compared to ordinary dirt roads to be
from fifty to seyenty-fve per cent, so
that there is from $1.25 to So. 90 for
every ton Of freight teamed to go into
the pocket of the producer in Yer
mont, if only good roads are made
where bad ones now exist"
The Governor therefore urges that
the Massachusetts highway law, mod
flied as required, be adopted in Yer
mont, and that the tax of$06, 900, now
annually collected for road repairs, be
turned over to State highway commits
sioners, who shall control it's expendi-
ture under the provisions of law.
In respect to cost of hauling by
team to the railroads, the figures
given by Governor Smith show how
heavily the farmers suffer from bad
roads, not alone in Vermont but in
nearly all States in which similar condi-
tons obtain. New Jersey, Massachu-
sets and New York are working out
remedy for these evils, and the
other States cannot do better than act
on Governor Smiths suggestion and
follow their examples. Il. A. w.

James B. Church, of Tiverton,
Rhode Island, recognized authority
on fish and their habits, thus writes:
Fish are, except the birds, the best
pilots in the world. Either the birds
or fish know more when asleep about
plotting than man pilot does when
awake. Now, as to the habits of fish.
They come on the coast in the spring,
when the migratory instinct starts
them out Of their winters sleep. In
winter they are in a dormant state.
like the bear, skunk and woodchuck.
The old theory that fish migrated
south Is all wrong. Fish simply leave
the coast and go off shore on the
northern edge of the gulf stream, get
into water of the right temperature
and go into winter quarters. Before
the time comes for them to start on
their annual pilgrimage for their win
ter quarters they have taken on a
good coat Of fat. 1t Is under their
skin, and their stomach is lined with
it, and it is also all through their
bodies when they arrive at the spot
that they have selected for their win
ter home. Then there grows over
their eyes white film, and their vent
closes, and so they remain until the
time comes for them to start for their
summer home.

No WHITEWAsH1NG.-The follow
ing letter, addressed to T. G. Will
loughy, who made the minority report
of the board of directors of the peni-
tentiary in 1895, which letter has been
published in the Florence Times, will
be of special interest just at this time:
DEAR SIR-I suppose you will notice in
the public prints the vindication OF your
position as to the penitentiary inyestiga-
ton in 1896. By proof positive and NeaPs
own confession, after the proof bad been
fully offered, he was short when you had
him investigated. Now what we want is
to get the sources of information which
you had. You know the evidence was
suppressed. We will not reconvene for
month or two, and in the meantime want
10 get up all the facts obtainable, so as to
20 along and get the whole truth. Can
you help us? This is no "whitewashing"
committee, as you have doubtless dis
cerned, and neither do we desire to perse-
cute. What we desire is to get at the ex-
act truth and vindicate the innocent and
expose the guilty, and we desire and ex-
pect the cooperation of all good citizens
who know anything which they may be
able to communicate to US. Most truly,

CUBAN CONVENTIONS.
It Is Developing Pretty Clearly That Gomez
Is Bigger Than the Assembly,

It Is Developing Pretty Clearly That Conner
Is Bigger Than the Assembly.
Reports Of the past few days from
Havana indicate that the Cuban situa,
ton is rapidly settling down to a def
mite status, and that pretty shortly
now there will be some positive &C.
tion on the part of this government
that will bring about some kind of a
crisis.
1t seems that the Cuban assembly,
which a few days ago deposed Gener,
al Gomez, was originally creature oi
General Gomez. While actually Gen.
eral Gomez represented the supreme
authority of the Cubans, he deemed
it advisable, for reasons of policy,
to make it appear otherwise, and hence
the creation of the assembly. The as
sembly was invested theoretically with
sovereignty 80 far as Cuba was con-
cerned, and General Gomez himself,
to all intents and purposes, recognized
this sovereignty.
But it seems that the action of the
assembly a few days ago in deposing
General Gomez has about precipitated
a climax. Although quietly submit
ting to theoretical deposition, General
Gomez has found that practically be is
still supreme. The Cuban populace
raised big demonstration in behalf of
the general last week, and when the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-03-18

Cuban police, acting on the orders of
the assembly, tried to suppress this
demonstration, the people took steps to
show that the assembly did not count
for much. The police we're put to ig-
nominious discontinue and the Unit
ed States authorities had to interfere.
Not for the purpose of taking sides be-.
tween Gomez and the assembly, but to
prevent bloodshed which would have
no doubt followed.
Now General Gomez says plainly
that the trouble with the assembly is
that it was not satisfied with the $3,-
100000 offered by the United States to
help pay off the army; but that it
wanted a great deal more. He takes
the position that the Cubans have no
claim to any money at all from the
United States, and that it behooves
them to show good taste in taking
what is offered only as a loan, and
keep their mouths shut as to the sug-
gestion that they ought TO have more.
He also goes on to say that notwith-
standing the fact that he created the
Cuban assembly, the supreme authori.
ty in Cuba just now is the United
States, and he does not feel like con-
troverting that proposition.
There has been talk for several days
to the effect that General Brooke has
under consideration the idea of dis
solving the Cuban assembly. This he
may or may not do; but it seems to be
of little consequence whether he does
or not, for vast majority of the peo-
pie are in the fullest sympathy with
General Gomez, and the understand
ing is that President Mckinley con-
tinues to recognize only Gomez in his
dealing with the Cubans.
