The following resolutions offered by S. J. Griffin, were adopted:
 Whereas, we see with sincere regret that his eXcellency, Joseph F.

 Whereas, we, the citizens of Cullman and Cullman county, Ala, in mass meeting assembled, regard the consti- tutional convention as a measure of vital importance to the future progress and welfare of our commonwealth, and be- lieve it to be the duty of every patriot ic citizen, and particularly of every democrat who Is loyal to his party to place himself upon this issue; therefore, be it
 Resolved, first, That we regard the action of the governor in calling the legislature together to repeal the con stitutional act as unwise, impolitic and undemocratic.

 Third, That we indorse the action of the state executive committee, and the state convention of the democratic party in making a party measure.
 Fourth, That we earnestly request Hon. William G. Brown, the senator from this district, and the Hon. w. T. L. Cofer, the representative from this county, to vote against the repeal of the act calling the constitutional con vention. ,0 n The resolutions were carried by unanim ouS vote.

Prefers spanish to Cubans

MT. Beattie was very anxious to get rid of the Spanish regime, and he gave the Cubans all the help in his power, but hel declares that he would much rather have Spanish than Cuban rule, as the latter is now expressing itself In his opinion the United States should remain in military occupation of Cuba at least ten years, and he would have Washington make an an nouncement to the world at once to that effect This would make practicable the immediate investment of capital, large amount of which is now lying idle in Cuba only waiting for a definite expression of policy by President Mckinley.
 Senor Domingo Dominguez Capote, sec retary of Governor General Brooke's cabi- net of advisers, is vigorously reforming the state department Since January ne has abolished twelve superfluous offices.
 Collector T. H. Bliss has heretofore ex- ercised his discretion in allowing the lm- portation of arms into the islands when both the consignee and consignor were known to him to be responsible concerns.
 For this he had received General Brooke's authorization. For the future, however, under the terms of the new order published today, the prohibition extends to all arms except those to be used in hunt ing or for personal defense.
 La Lucha, commenting upon the oroer editorially says:
 This does not involve what some might imagine. The government does not ex- pect trouble The prohibition is merely precautionary. There is no necessity for Instruments of that class. What we need is blows for the pacification and recon struction of Cuba, to complete which caiis for the establishment of a strong, equita- ble government and a judicious expendi- ture on the part of all classes"
 Two cases of smallpox were officially re- ported today.
 The temperature in Havana at p. m. was 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

LAST week the Vidette announced
that H. B. Layton had acquired an
interest in that newspaper. Mr..
Layton is newspaper man of ex-
perience and THE OASIS hopes that
he may succeed with the paper
which has proved failure in the
hands of so many others. There is
room in Nogales for two news
papers. and both can make money.
We believe Mr.. Layton has enjoy
ed the experience which educates a
newspaper man to the futility of
allowing the editorial end Of
newspaper to be dominated by the
business end, or TO allow the bust
ness end to be injured by maintain
tanning a warfare.in prices, to graft
fy the spite of people In whose pre-

IF THERE is anyone in Nogales
who thinks that the whole of Ari-

is going on in Nogales, that indi-
vidual is mistaken. Not only do
all the people of the territory know
what is taking place here; but they
are watching the outcome with
great interest.

TO tropical climate in midsummer.
And when ii is recalled that the
most ofthose troops were also taken
suddenly from the comforts of good
homes and subjected to the incon-
venience and hardship of camp life,
II IS remarkable that they got off so
well. In the war of 1905 soldiers
from the north suffered severely in
the south until acclimated. Those
who went south in the winter and
experienced the gradual approach
OF hot weather suffered less. Had
the policy of President Mckinley
prevailed the war with Spain would
not have been precipitated in mid
summer, but he would have waited
till fall, saving much suffering and
death. But the people and con-
gress precipitated the war six
months earlier than necessary.
FL Trafico states farther that had
General Toral received reinforce
ments he would have whipped the
American army at Santiago. Very
likely; but what would the army of
General Miles on the transports en-
route to Porto Rico, and right at
hand, have been doing while Toral's

columns recently to prove that the
Americans have not the making Of
good soldiers, instancing the fuss
which has been made over the
volunteers in the r cent war with
Spain; their succumbing to illness
in the. hot season at Santiago; the
clamor which has arisen in some
quarters by friends and relatives of
the volunteers in the Philippines to
have them returned, for the alleged
reasons that they were enlisted for
the war against Spain and were
entitled to discharge upon making
peace with that power; and several
similar puerile matters which have
no bearing upon the stamina and
capability' of men to endure the
Strains and hardships of military
life.
In some particulars FL Trafico
alleges facts. For instance the
concerted movement in some parts
of the country to demand a return
of the volunteers from the Philli-
pines. Were the editor of FL Ira
fco posted upon American history
he would know that such move
meuts have taken place among the
American people in all our wars.
Strong demands were made for
of volunteers by those
to the war with Great
Britain in I8I2-I4, in the war with
in 1903, in the war be-
tween the states in 1905, as well
as now. But if FL Tra6co has read
history Alright and will reflect bit,
it will readily recall that the great |
body of the American people up
held the government i'll the prose
cution of those former wars, and
they were all conducted to sue

THE ESSENCE OF LIBERTY.

In Kentucky the Goebelites anc
anti Goebelites have rent in twain
the democratic party; in New York
there is another Kilkenny cat
affair among the democrats; in
Ohio the anti Hanna republicans
are kicking up a tremendous dis
turbance and accepting nominations
to Office at the hands of democratic
conventions, and against regular
republican nominees; in Phoenix
the McCord and Murphy factions
in the republican party rend one
another; and in Prescott it is again
the old fight between the Stoddard
and Akers factions, with a slight
mix up in the personnel of the two
crowds; but nowhere except in
Nogales is the cry set up thai pol
itical disturbances "hurt the town"
They do not here; but the cry is
card played by the losing side,
to alarm timid folk and get them
to align themselves against agita-
ton and try to suppress it. No
town, no county, no state or ter
ritory was ever hurt by the con-
tention for principle in public mat
tiers or for advocacy of good gov
eminent. Views of what con-
stitute good government differ
widely, and it is the freest discus
cussion of those widely divergent
views which gives security and per-
petuity to free institutions. The
people would never have been free,
and America would have found
Independence impossible had tory
alarmists sat down upon the De-
claration of Independence because
agitation for adoption of the i'm
mortal principles therein enunciated
would "hurt the country" The
very essence of republican form
IF government, without which
rec government would not last
generation, is full and free dis
,ussion of public men and public
neasures-whether they affect the.I
own, the county, the state or
he nation. And those who try to
rown down and prevent such dis
ussion-though they may be
honest in intention and we'll mean
ng in action, are going against
me of the most important rights of
free people.

rally was held. The crowds poured in
through the four entrances on either
side and down the six broad sawdust-
covered aisles until the great tents ca
pacity of 10000 was filled; after that
a crowd of outsiders obtained sight and
hearing through dropping of the tent
walls at either side. Promptly at 1880
the comparative silence was broken by
the swelling strains of '"The Son of God
Goes Forth to War; followed by There
Shall BE Showers Of Blessing" "On-
ward, Christian Soldiers" etc, in all of
which the great crowd enthusiastically
joined. Devotional exercises were led
by Rev. j. G. Butler, of Washington.
