CUBAN ARMY ARREARS
CIVIL GOVERNOR OF HAVANA
URGES THE PAYMENT OF
SOLDIERS
is OF VAST IMPORTANCE
Cubans Make Business PROPOSE
ton That Americans Settle With
the Insurgent Forces and Hold
the Customs Receipts Security
Labor Troubles In Havana Are
on the Increase.

HAVANA, Jan. 2S.-Senor Federico
Mora, the civil governor of Havana,
in an interview today, declared that
the question of the payment of the
Cuban army was of much greater i'm
portance that the Washington govern
ment seems to realize. He said il the
Cubans were to collect the customs of
the island which are their property,
their first action would be to meet Gu
ba's sacred obligation to the army by
the payment in full of the soldiers.
hut as the customs are in the hands
of the Americans, the Cubans make
simple business proposition to the Unit
ed States government that it shall ad-
vance money to pay the troops, hold
ing the customs as security. If the
Americans were not present, senior
Mora further said Cuba could easily
obtain the necessary loan. The diStri-
button of this money to the army is
essential to permit the country to pro-
coed TO the work of agriculture, which
must form the foundation of its recon-
struction. The army contains many
men who consider that Cuba is in a
position to demand the full payment
of the army by the United States. and
assert that any other action on the
part of the American government
would be worse tyranny than was ex-
SIClS6u QnUeT SPAIN aulHOTlly.
1t Is reported that 600 members of
the Cuban army are camped near
Sanct Spiritus loafng about, begging
and pillaging. Word was sent to them
that if they would come to Sancti
Spiritus they would receive pay and
rations if they would help to clean the
city The offer was refused, the Gu
bans stating they would not make
slaves of themselves.
Maj. Gen. Ludlow, military governor
of the department of Havana, has is
sued an order suspending the eXecu-
ton of judgment against the city, so
that to satisfy Spanish claims the
treasury will not be kept without
money. The Banco Espanol is now
collecting and will continue to collect
certain municipal dues, including II
censes. market rents, ETC., out of which
the bank will pay the interest on the
$S000.000 bonds of floating debt.
The commission appointed by Gov.
Gen. Brooke to investigate the condi
ton of the refrigerated beef brought
here by the United States transport
Michigan will, it is asserted, report
that the beef is in good condition and
the manner of refrigerating excellent.

Delayed In Transit,

One particular advantage of a busi-
ness as big as The Golden Rule is that
were able to import very largely di-
rect from the manufacturers. But
where goods have to come thousands
or miles by water and rail there are
apt to be more or less delays and we're
apt to be more or less disappointed
For example, we've just received our
new stock of embroideries that was or
dered to be on sale the first week In
January. There's only one thing to do
now and that's to make prices that'l
sell the lot in a hurry and give the
women of st. Paul a great benefit.
Hence big bargains for this week.
Come early, as bargains like these
won't wait for lingerers. See Golden
Rules ad for particulars.

Natives Fear the Effect It May Hav,
on Fruits.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2s.-An unusually
warm wave for this time of the year has
been lowering over California for the past
three days, the temperature in the central
part averaging about 80 degrees. In some
places it went far above this figure. The
present spell is the warmest that has pre-
vailed at this season since records of weather
conditions were kept. Should this weather
continue, it will undoubtedly result in dis
aster for fruit and grain growers, as the
season will be rushed to such an extent that
grain and fruit will commence to show in
advance of the season, and will thereby suffer
from the almost inevitable frosts of Febru-
airy and March. Should these frosts not
occur, this weather, if it does not continue
too long. will prove a great value to growers,
IS it will result in earlier shipments of fruit
to the Eastern and European markets.

The extravagant appropriations
more than a billion and half
made by the Fifty-Fith Congress
now happily dead, would few
years ago have been sufficient to
drive any political party from pow
er. Only ten years ago billion
dollar Congress drove the repub-
licans out and put the democrats
in. But it is easy to educate men
into commencing 1t, especially if
some of the money spent be in a
way to give them personal profit.
The war is the excuse for the
large total of appropriations, but
it is not a valid one, and it should
be the duty of every man opposed
to public extravaganza to appoint
himself q committee of one, to see
that no man with whom he comes
in contact shall accept that excuse
for lack of the actual facts. With
every appropriation connected
with the war deducted, the appro-
priations made by the Congress
would still be largely in excess of
those made by any Congress in
our history. Keep this fact in
your mind and in the minds of
and a Congress and a
President may be elected next
year to check the era of extrava-
gance into which we have drifted.

GOOD Advice.

We commend the following
sound advice from the N. 0. Pic
ayune to the serious considera-
ton of our readers:
"Some of the papers Of North
Louisiana are discussing the con-
stitutional Provisions which per-
mits the holfars of homesteads
to waive or su urrender the right
of exemption From seizure for
debt.
"The homestead exemption is
a wise protection for the people,
and they ought not to give it up,
except for the most serious and
urgent reasons. 1t appears that
the farmers who need credit at
the stores are asked to surrender
their homestead exemtions be-
fore they can secure any needed
supplies. Such q surrender is a
poor basis for credit. 1t implies
that the would-be debtor has a
poor reputation for thrift or busi-
ness honesty. Such a person is
not entitled to credit; while a
farmer who owns his land and is
known to be a good manager and,
above all, honest and trustworthy,
is proper subject for moderate
advances. AS an ordinary busi-
ness, it may be said that the man
who mortgages his homestead to
pay family expenses will soon eat
it up, and then he will have moth
ing left.

years ago dreamed that this pow

zan purposes And yet we have
seen the National House of Rep

bodies of various States "useat-
ing members for no other or
better reason than to secure
majority on joint ballot for the
perpetuating party. This danger
is brought prominently before
the public by the disreputable
contest now being waged in West
Virginia, where the Democratic
majority in the House and the Re
publican majority in the Senate,
are vieing with each other as to
which can unseat the most Of the
respective minorities, for the pur-
pose of securing majority in the
contest for United States Sena-
tor. Such scenes arc calculated
to weaken faith in the capacity
for orderly self-government Of

test, to fire any more such bomb
shells in the unsuspecting ranks

he will stir up such hornet s

they are talking that the high
rollers of the Louisiana Press As
sociation, such as Cal. Hicks,
Bill Steidldy, Florida Parishes
Cook, Arab Roy and Leonce

wide swath among the pretty

wives of these rollicking rams
knew as much as they should,
they will take good care to 60 to

If Darrieux, Trimble, Mouton and

be noticed by the capital city
bellies they should use all their
political influence to handicap
the Lotharios we have mentioned

their better halves. Jimy Turner
