The United States Will Retain the Isle Of

The United States will retain pos
session of the Isle of Pines, whatever
be the final disposition of Cuby. 1t
will be fortified and strong garrison
will be kept there.
Lying Immediately south of the
western end of Cuba. the Isle of Pines
commands the western or 1ucatan en-
trance to the Gulf and forms an inn
portant outpost for the defense of the
Nicaragua Canal.
While Secretary Root visited Cuba
he went to the island and recognized
its straieectic Importance. The State
Department now holds that under the
treaty of peace the title to the Isle of
Pines passed to the United States.
Secretary Root holds similar view
and there is abundant evidence OF the
administration purpose 10 guard and

A Child'S Idea.

Children hear new words, and often
use them with little idea of their true
meaning. They are frequently blamed
for doing or not doing thing, wien
their little minds have by no Ineaus
comprehended the words employed in
giving them directions. Mamma, :"
said wee child one Sunday evea-
ing. after having sat still in the house
all day like a good child, ''have l
honored you to-day" II don't
know" replied the mother, why do
you ask?'' Because, said the little
one, 1.-The bible says. Honor thy faith
er and thy mother, that thy days may

There are several large forts on the

Endsley Says Lusk Did Says II.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:-My attention
has been called to an article in the
Herald in which Henry Hoyt denies
having heard Lusk say that he would
throw politics to the four winds, join
forces with the Democrats and use his
influence over the negroes to down the
Dutch in Cape County.
Had the matter dropped then and
there without further reference to the
conversation above referred to. could
have given Mr.. Hoyt credit for being
sincere and honest in his denial, but
as 1 frequently talked of Lusk's
threat in his absence, 1 can neither
give Mr.. Hoyt credit for being sincere
or truthful in his denial.
The matter was talked about too
often to have slipped HOyt's memory
in a few short months-unless be for
got it on purpose.
l could produce more evidence
to prove that Lusk made the re-
mark and that Hoyt heard him make
it-and also that Hoyt and myself
often spoke of it afterwards, but
rather than ask a lady to give her
evidence | leave the matter for the
public to decide for themselves.
| have no-hing to take back or make
apologies for. told the truth in the
first place and still stick to 1t. ard
may Yet be able 10 proGuc.. another
affidavit of man who says he head
Lusk say practically the same thing
ond even worse.
The letter was not written for cam
paign purpos7s-being written months
ago. Its object was to put the DEMO
CART man on his guard and to show
Lusk's hypocracy. 1t accomplished
its purpose and we We're satisfied.
In conclusion | ask just and dis
eliminating public to first consider
the reputation and standing of all
parties concerned and l will abide
their verdict.

We Want That Road.

The Citizen earnestly hopes that the
people of Popla Bluff have not aban-
doned the project to get an extension
Of the Southern Missouri & Arkansas
railroad to this city. If Poplar Bluff
ever needed anything in her history
badly it needs that extension, which
we must have. Il is certain that the
Southern Missouri & Arkansas will be
extended and whether it goes through
this city or misses US few miles, all
depends upon the enterprise of our
citizens. AS proof of the fact that
the road will be extended, we reprint
the following from the Puxico Index:
Cape Girardeau, Mo-, Nov. 8, 1900.
Lee Stevens, Esq,
Editor Index, Puxico, Mo.
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the
3lst, there is nothing definite with re-
gard to extension of our line to Pop
lar Bluff that 1 might say. 1t is like
ly that our road will be built into Ar
kansas. but whether it will 90 via
Poplar Bluff or not depends to great
extent on the people of that town. We
have made them proposition, which,
if accepted. will insure building of the
line from a point near Puxico via
Poplar Bluff, and the matter is still
pending. Yours truly.
E. f. BLOMEYER.
AS will be seen by the above. there
is still a good chance for this city to
get another railroad. So let's be up
and doing. Why lie idle when We
have a railroad delivered 10 US almost
on a silver platter. Shall we let the
opportunity pass: The Citizen says,
no. Poplar Bluff Citizen.
