Minneapolis and Minnehaha,

EXTRACTS from letter written by Mr.. Edwin A.
Moore, who is now in Minneapolis to his sister,
Mrs. W. A. Jordan, of BOlivar.I
Minneapolis must be the most
beautiful place in America. The
broad, snow-white streets dazzle in
the sunshine like marble walks.
The magnificent public buildings
are supurb in their elegance and
grandeur, rising, as they do, from
ten to twelve stories high, and COM
bining all the art and skill of mod
ern architecture, they would do
credit to artistic Paris, the recog-
nized prettiest city in the world.
This is a region of lakes, and one
can almost imagine himself in fairy
land while strolling through the
numerous parks here, in all of
which is found a beautiful, clear
lake.
| have visited Minnehaha Falls
and was amazed that nature, assist
ed by art, could form a place half
so romantic. The small river runs
smoothly along a level country,
and then suddenly leaps from a
precipice 100 feet high, and dashes
off between rocks into a ravine, on
both sides of which rise steep, rug
ged bluffs, which look like noun
tains after one has reached the
stream below. Down these rocky
sides numerous stairways have been
built, and rustic bridges made across
the river, which is quite narrow
after passing over the falls. 1t was
the most romantic place l ever saw,
wild and rugged in the extreme,
and I could imagine the great In
dian chief, Minnehaha, whose name
it bears, once lived and roamed up
aud down this romantic place, little |

Situation Alarming in Cuba.

New York, May 16.-The
Herald's Havana correspon-
dent telegraphs:
The situation here has be-
come most alarming. To all
appearances, the Cubans are
about to make armed man
ifestations against the United
States and its mode of gov
erning the island, although
the conservative element still
hopes for peaceful arrange
ments.
This state of affairs, which
was brought abruptly to a
head last Saturday by a par-
tial quarrel between Gen.
G>mez and Gov Gen. Brooke
has been forming for the last
two months. The first move
has been made by the army.
1t will probably be support
ed by many Cubans. The
army, which is really repre-
sented, although many dis
pute his authority, by Gen.
Gomez, is particularly bitter
against Gov. Brooke and his
policy. The soldiers declare
they have been miserably
fooled aid trapped by the
Americans. They look up

S65s.75. The Nashville American,
of Sunday, April 23rd, 1899, says
the expenses of the committee of
which Foster was member, was
S11O3.61. At the time | wrote the
"Citizen" article, had not receiv-
ed the appropriation bill. 1t was
published on May 18th, and l admit
| did not know the per diem of the
members was included in item sex
penses" of his committee, as it was
not usually done-but granting his
contention on that point. There
were thirteen members of the COM
mittee of 1897 and a sergeant-at-
arms and a stenographer, making
fifteen men In all, and they receiv-
ed 81 per day, amounting to $72
each and expenses. The committee
of 1899 had only ten members at 81
per day, yet they received $40 each
and expenses. (See Acts 1897, page
%; Nashville American of May 18th;
House Joint Resolution No. %,
page 751, Acts of 1919 So my
statement that they spent more on
themselves than the committee of
1897 does not appear to be ''abso-
lutely untrue" after all
But these items are of minor i'm
portance and do not materially af-
feet Mr.. Fosters record, because as
1 have shown before, his response
bility is divided with the whole
legislature. 1t would be unfair to
hold him responsible for the acts of
the Legislature, when, in fact, his
influence there was a microscopic
thing; yet, l havessgiven them this
much consideration, because he
catches at them like a drowning
man at straw. He passes over all
of the damaging statements of
"Citizen's" article to come down to
these two unimportant ones, and
rests his whole case on them, and
fails.
Mr.. Foster has a right to deny
any and all of my statements and to
say that they are untrue, if he
chooses, upon sufficient proof. He
started out by saying that the au-
thor of the article signed "Citizen"
"has no regard for the truth nor
any respect for man who has,"
yet he has gone over that article
and has not succeeded in controvert-
ing a single statement in it, and
making his charge without know
ing who the author was whom he
thus characterized. But Foster
himself knows, if he really knows
anything at all, and every man who
reads this knows that this is idle
and childish vaporing, which l de-
cline to notice seriously, because he
has in his favor this extenuating
circumstance-that small capacity,
like the mantle of charity, covers a
multitude of faults.

AT the special session of
Quarterly Court held Mon
day to fix the tax rate for
1899, the property tax for
County purposes was reduc=
ed from 80 to % cents on the
one hundred dollars. The
present financial condition of
the County justifies the re-
duction. On the first of this
month there was 81, 253.44 in
the hands of the Trustee,
with but little outstanding
Indebtedness, only a few war
rants for small amounts.
OF course, different appropri-
atiOns will be necessary dur
ing the year to repair bridges,
levees, etc, but no heavy
drafts are expected upon the
treasury. There was S929.46
more in the hands of the
Trustee on the first of May,
1899, than there was at the
same time last year, notwith-
standing the large expense
for levee work during the lat
ter part of 1898.
