A Charleston, S. c., dispatch, April

of Lake City for having lynched Post

the trial will probably be reached in
two weeks. The keenest interest is
shown in the proceedings and there is

rested last summer.
1t seldom happens that the federal
government goes to such expense in
the preparation for trial of cases
down this way. There are more than
eighty witnesses alone for the govern
ment, and Judge Brawley has signed
an order directing seventy-three wit
nesses for the defense to appear. Be
trict attorneys Office, the department
has retained the services Of ex-Attor-

and Hon. j. P. Kennedy of Charleston.
For months government inspectors
have been at work.
When Government Inspector Bell got
to work On some of the citizens of Lake
City to get them to testify he found
the witnesses slow. The men admit
ted they could not testify and hope to
remain at Lake City to live. If they
talked it meant that they had to move
from that section. The government
has failed, it is said, to take care of it's
witnesses, who believe it would be I'M

necessary public improvements, would
throw 10000 Cubans out of employment,
and send them to the hills to become ban
dts, and would revive SPANS practice Of
monetary Capitalization which caused most
OF her troubles in Cuba.
1t Is believed General Wood Is DESTROYS
OF seeing the President on this subject. He
expresses the emphatic opinion that the
customs receipts should be expended In
the respective provinces in which they are
taken, with the exception of such II per-
centage for Havan as may be necessary
for governmental expenditure, geological
surveys and other features OF public busI-
ness of that character.
There was a mass meeting here a few
days ago of business men of all kinds to
protest against the order from Havana.
II was held in the plaza, and was attended
by 5000 persons. Energetic speeches
were made against the policy of cen
tralizing money at Havana. Most of
the speakers declared that the principle
which it was now proposed to put
against by them for thirty years. All were
exceedingly eulogistic in their references
to General Wood, imploring him to use his
influence with the Washington Govern
ment against n revival of one OF the worst
features of the Spanish regime.
Colonel Valiento, the Cuban who was ap-
pointed Chief Of the gendarmerie, was
quite outspoken on the subject. He said
the Cubans had fought thirty years against
this policy, and they were ready to fight
thirty years more if necessary.
The local papers assert that II such an
order Is enforced 1t will mean II not civil
war, at least anarchy and riot In the
Province of Santiago, calling for o large
foree-of United States troops.

Why the Dram-Drinker's Nose Is Red.
1t may be reasonably supposed that
when the Grandchildren looks upon his face
in a mirror and sees that his nose is red,
he would be anxious to know the exact
cause of such a condition., and why the
more alcohol he drinks the greater be-
comes tho redness; and also why angry
looking bumps after a while make their ap-
pearaDce on the end and sides of the
nose. He is but little aware, as he looks at
his nose, that; as 1t Is Redeemed n com
gested by an unnatural supply Of blood, so
all the respective organs of his body are
kept in Il state of unnatural redness and
2 congestion by the habitual use of alcohol.
II one could see his brain, stomach,
liver, lungs, heart and kidneys in his mir
ror, ms he sees his nose, he would find
each ofthem in the same condition rs that
presented by his nose; and this congestion
OF the vital organs explains to him the I'M
comfortable manner in which their func-
tions are performed
When in perfect health, the functions Of
the organs of the body are SO quietly per-
formed that a man forgets that he has
lungs and heart. In fact, his general con-
dition is so good that he never thinks
about his internal organs; but this is not
so with the habitual thinker of alcoholic
compounds.
The alcohol which he drinks keeps his
organs in the same REDEEMED and congest-
ed condition as his nose, and he is always
complaining that his head aches, or feels
hot. foolish and confused, that he does not
sleep, and has startings and jerkings Of
his limbs in his sleep; his appetite is ca
PRECIOUS, bis kidneys do not act well, and
he has pains in his limbs and back, or his
heart feels uneasy and has spells OF palpi-
tatlon, n his lungs do not perform their
duty in II manner to make him feel at ease.
He Is nervous, tremulous and easily
bad taste in his mouth, and his tongue Is
coated with a thick, white FUR, accompan-
led by feyerish and thirsty sensations
about his throat.-English Mechanic.

HAvERHlLL's SOCIALIST MAYOR.

Measures Affecting workingmen RECON-
mended in Hi inaugural Speech.
HAvEnHI1I, Mass. Especially. - Mayor
Chase, the Socialist who was elected at the
recent election, in his inaugural speech
gave assurance that he would use the lin
tied power of his office in the defense and
support of the principles of socialism, in so
far as they may be applied to = municipal
ity, With this aim he made these three
specific recommendations:
First-The passage of an order establish
ing the minimum wage for street employees
at 50 for eight hours work.
Second-Union wages and conditions to
prevail In all brick and stone masons' work
performed under the direction of the Street
Department.
Third-All city printing to Scar the union
label.
In order to relieve the unemployed, he
recommended:
Flrst-That a suitable tract OF land be
secured for the raising of food products
and that such Of the unemployed as desire
be permitted to use said land, the city to
furnish proper seeds and tools.
S~econd-The enlargement OF the fuel yard
at the City Farm to such proportions as
will permit all who desire to earn by their
labor such fuel as they may require.
Third-The appropriation OF such an
amount of money as circumstance may
warrant to be used in providing employ
ment directly upon public works, not in
competition with the regular employees OF
the city, but upon special works, two kinds
of which he suggests: First, improvement
of tho park system AMI, second, eonstrue-
ton of a system of bicycle paths through
all principal t~horoughfares.

fore the Commission OF Inquiry, condemns
unqualihedly the army eanteen.
It Is absolutely painful to see the young
men, "the flower of American manhood"
who Joined the army to protect their eoun-
try from the enemy, being debauched and
ruined by strong drinks. Rum, beer and
whisky are doing more to destroy the
soldiers here than disease, exposure and
tho climate combined.
