MADE SENSATIONAL SPEECH.
DELEGATE Cisneros Withheld His Signature
from Cuba's Constitution.

The Cuban constitution was signed
at Havana Thursday, and one copy Will
at once be sent to Washington for ;Lc-
ceptance by congress. Senior Cisneros,
one of the delegates, created sensa-
ton bv refusing to sign the instrument.
He said "Cuba is now independent,
and I see no reason for sending this
constitution to the United States for
acceptance. The United States govern
ment has no right to pass upon it, for
it is a distinctly Cuban document, and
was drawn up by this convention,
which has assumed the responsibility
of establishing the republic" Contin-
uing he remarked that "the Americans
are like monkeys. When the monkey
closes its paw on thing itnever wants
to let 90" He concluded his sensational
speech by declaring that when the
time came to fight the Americans all
Cubans would stand together. There
are many Cubans who share the views
of Senior Cisneros, expecting sooner or
later to have to take up arms against
the United States in order to resist
the aggression of this country. The
danger, too, is more real than imagi-
nary, and is recognized in the states
as we'll as in Cuba.

GEORGIA GLEANINGS.

Atlanta had a half-million dollar
fire Thursday morning. What was
formerly known as the Markham House
block, but which had been entirely re-
built since the big fire of 1895, was the
property destroyed. Several large
wholesale houses were located in the
block.
The Smithville Journal says that
some of the ladies of that town have
formed themselves into Smashing
Club" These ladies intend to meet
the trains and will smash every jug,
bottle or box containing VIII iskey put
off there.
There are said to be a thousand
people in Augusta, white and black, who
live by their wits and by begging.
The Herald thinks it time to look af-
ter them, and put them to work; but
alas, it can't be did
There is a severe outbreak of scar
let fever in Waycross, and the board
of health of the town has temporarily
forbidden all cOncourses of people,
even for religious worship.

NEWS AND VIEWS.

The saloons are not the only evils in
Kansas that need to be abated, If re-
norts are to be credited. Gambling
among women is said to be prevail emit
in Topeka. A current story has it
that a prospective bride in that city
started out the other day to purchase
her trousseau, having several hundred
dollars in her pocket. She dropped IN
at friends house, where she found
poker game going on. Being invited
TO take a hand she complied, and at
the end of a couple of hours all OF her
money was gone and she was in debt.
"Good morning, Uncle Julius" said
Senator Bacon of Georgia to Senator
Burrows of Michigan, according to the
Washington Post OF course, there Is
no relationship between the senators,
but Burrows is named julius Caesar
and Bacon is named Augustus OctaVlus..
Readers of ancient history know, OF
course. thatJulius Caesar was the un-
Gle of Augustus Octavus. and senator
Bacon remembers and recognizes the
kinship which existed between the
famous Romans many centuries ago.
Two fools were at large in York Pa,
the other day. One of them had rifle.
Said the other fool: 81 don't believe
YOU could hit a barn door; I'm sure
YOU couldn't hit me. Let me try IT,,
replied the FIRST fool. Agreed said
Fool No. ?, and he stepped off fifty
wards, wheeled about and stood grin
ming at his fellow fool. Fool No. took
deliberate aim, and at the crack of the
niece no. , fell with bullet through

A son of Gov. STANDBY of Kansas is
the editor of a newspaper. And the
editor is daily giving tie governor nus
for his do-nothing policy with respect
TO the saloon question. Papa STANDBY
is probably sorry that the time is past
for wood-shed seances with his recall
citrant son and the son may have rec
objections of some of those seances
when he writes his editorials scoring

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
"0nIy Two Millions a Day."
IN the Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
The chairman of the house commit.
tee on appropriations, Mr.. Cannon, got
up from his seat on Monday last and,
laying his hand upon his stomach, de-
cried the exaggerated statements OF
extravaganza which had been sent
forth to the press on the authority of
members of congress, says the Phila-
delphia Record. The grand total of
appropriation for the short session, he
impressively declared, is only 1904, 49,
sos (omitting the $50, 100000 to be paid
into the sinking fund.-. Only two mil
lion dollars to be paid out for every
day in the year. Truly a congress
that has succeeded in holding down
appropriations so that only two million
dollars day are required to keep the
wheels turDing may well turn up it's
eyes in depreciation when charged
with extravaganza

The Editor.

An editor is millionaire without mon
ey, a congressman without a job. a king
without a throne. He contracts with
out hammer: ouildsa railroad without
a spike or nail, and farms without a
pillow. He runs butcher shop in the
journalistic world, deals out brains
cheap for cash or credit. He loves
those who advertise with him as a
brother. The editor is teacher, a
lawyer. a preacher and he sends the
truth out to save souls and gets lost
himself. He heals the wounded, cares
for the dying and rescues the perish
ing. aud staryes himself when ham
sandwich would jerk him from the
laws of death. Central Guard.

CommerciaIism and War.

From the Savannah News.
If the Manila cables are correct
there was conspiracy including many
nationallties-the American included
to furnish the Filipino insurrection-
lists with arms and supplies not from
any love which the conspiratOrs had
for the Filipinos and their cause, but
because there was money in it. 1t is
an extremely hard matter to seperate

AN ExTRAVAGANT CONGRESS.

The fifty-sixth congress, which will
expire next Monday, has made stun
ming record for prohigacy in expendi-
ture.
At it's first session it appropriated
l0.O50, 862. The estimated appropria-
tions for the present session aggregate
S743, 374, 9O4, not including deficiencies
of $50, 900, 900 which already exist and
deficiencies of $l0,000,000 which are
likely to occur. The total expenditures
will amount on this basis to 81, 1913, 525,-
666. In addition the ship subsidy bill
and the Nicaragua canal bill, the for
mer provi ling for a yearly expenditure
of 100000 and the latter S20OOO,O 600,
NAV be passed, while the promoters of
the Pacific cable project will not be
satisfied with less than $50, O00,000. In
that event the grand total for the fifty
sixth congress would be 81 ,54l ,525, 666.
SIxTO LOPEZ, who is in this country
as the representative of the Filipinos,
says his people are willing to do almost
ANYTHING for peace but sacrifice their
Independence. They will concede har-
bors. promise to behave themselves
and pay back the $4,000, 900 paid to
Spain, but independence is a condition
that they will insist on. The New Or
leans States suggests that perhaps II
they will agree to turn gover mineral
lands. forests of valuable woods, unlim-
tied right of way for railroads and 9TH
err enterprises, the best sugar and cot
fee lands, ETC., to American syndicates
the expansionists might agree to the
deal.
THE Atlanta Constitution was unfort-
innate in basing an editorial plea for

ured in more than one criminal trans
