BILL INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS
BY MIR. YOUNG.
Hon. William A. Young left last night
for Washington. D. c.. to continue the
fight for his contested seat.
Congressman Young some time ago,
introduced a bill providing for the pur-
chase Of the Temple Farm. at York
town. This property Is the site of the
old Moore homestead, where Washing
ton and Lafayette at one time had
their headquarters, and around 1t clus-
ter many glorious memories of that
birth time of American freedom.
Mr.. Young's bill contemplates the
purchase of this property and its con-
version into a national park, so that 1t
will receive the attention necessary to
its preservation as one of the land
marks of the most interesting and mo-
mentous period of our history.

THE DECIDING CEASE.

Several suits were brought against
the city. but 1t Immediately appeared
necessary to have a decision only In
one case.
The case OF Young va. the city OF
Norfolk was taken up to the Court OF
Appeals and decides the question at Is
sue against the city, the Supreme Court
holding that the charges made by the
city for paving are illegal.
In order to, recover back the money

extremely simple.

La lengua
eSpanola,

Hace ahora dos aftos, cuando
nuestras guerras coloniales ACADIA
ban de tener desastroso t6rmino, di
10 un escritor insigne. cuyo elogio
no parecerfa bien en- estas cOlum
mas.
e-Hemos enterrado con palas
de orc, ALA en- America, montones
de huesos, hemos. dejado allf ras-
gadas Glen paginas lie nuestra histo-
ria.
sPero, aunque hemos vuelto,
ALI estamos, porque hen.os dejado
alli ell habla de Castillo.
Asi es, en- efecto.
En- ell teatro Tac6u, de la Haba,
pa, Sc celebro una gran Asamblea ell
1G de Agosto.
Tratabau los concurrentes de
afrmar la personalidad y la indie
pendencia de Cuba, en- contra de los
norteamericanos, que entraron en- la
isla como redentores y aspiran q
quedarse como dueflOs.
Y un copocidO Orador, unO de
los hombres que mas trabajaron con
ira la antigua soberanfa espaflOla,
pronuncio, en- medic de aclamacio-
mes freneticas, las siguieutes pala~
bras:
ssQue es 10 que nos interesa a
todosY Solo una cosa, una sola: que
en- esta terra, libre y feliz, Sc per-
petite nuestro pueblo; que no desa-
parezca, one no muera esta sOcicdaG
cubana, que juntos formamos espa-
1oles & hijos de espanoles.
iEs acaso la patria ell pedazo de
terra, y solo ell pedazo de terra, en-
que vivimos?
iQuien no siente la ira y el do
lor de la desesperaci6n cuando entire
las amargnras y las zOzObras de es J.
tos dias, cruza por la mente la fati
dica imagen de una Cuba, en- la cual
la lengua de sus oradores, de sus
poetas, de sus publicistas, de sus
guerreros, no sea la lengua en- que
han habIado nuestro Montoro y
nuestro CASTELAR,; la lergua en- que
ban cantado Heredia y Ndfez de Ar,
ce; la lengua en- que han escrito Pr
y Margall y Saco; la lengua en- que
tronaron, en- medic dc Jos combates,
Agramonte y Vara del R4y?s
Tenia razon Fernandez Flores
cuando dijo al entrar en- la Acade-
mia: sAunque hemOs vuelto de Gu.
ba y Puerto Rico, alIl e,tumos y ALI
estaremOs, porque hemCs dejado alll
nuestro idioma.s
Quiera Dios que aquf los Co.
biernos y Ell pueblo acerten q con.
solidar ese vfnculo, la vez esprit
tual y material, 6 infinitamente mas
solido, mas eticaz y mas puro que
todos los que SO han deshecho.
