CUBAN FREE TRADE.

Occasionally We pick up a democrat
enough to say what he believes with
out regard to whether his views are
sanctioned by Bryan or not. Such a
paper is the Buffalo Voice. Its latest
issue contains a splendid article on the
future of Cuba, which is appended in
full:
Already the glow OF a blessing
about to take it's fight is filling Cuba
with appreciation Of what the United
States has done for the island and ap-
prehension Of what may follow when
its strong supporting arm is withdrawn.
The demonstration at Havana recently
was a singular mixture of gratitude
for favors received n those in ex-
p%ectancy. 1t recognized what a boon
respect to the industrial, commercial
and domestic interests of Cuba. In the
act of liberating the island from the
misrule Of Spain the United States has
given to its people an admirable ex-
empliication of the benefits of a strong
and enlightened civil government un
der the glove of military occupation.
1T is no wonder that. having enjoy
ed the advantages of peace, security
n returning prosperity under Ameri-
can rule, the Cubans should desire a
perpetuation OF those relations es-
pecially advantageous to them. All
their efforts will be Den to secure a
free market for sugar, tobacco. alec.
hol and their other important products.
unfortunately there are vast inter-
csts in the United States inimical to
granting such a discriminating favor
to Cuba-interests strongly entrenched
in the national senate and also in the
national policy of the dominant politi-
cal party.
1T is safe TO say that there is only
n power in the United States strong
enough to overcome the sugar and to-
bacco interest, and this is the popular
will. And as the matter stands the
popular will in this country is nc par
ticularly concerned to rake more Gu
ban cheshuts out of the fire.
Annexation is the only remedy
which can save Cuba from itself. Our
people feel they have fulfilled their /
full duty to the inhabitants of the ISL |
and in assisting them to throw of the |
Spanish yoke-or, more accurately,
speaking, in lifting it from their help |

OOMEDTOOBSCURITY
HARD LUCK OF A ONE-IIME
SENATOR,
Special Letter.

Dividing his time between a little
fruit and alfalfa farm on the outskirts
OF Albuquerque, n. NJ. and a printing
office in that place, living a life Of
comparative %obscurity. is a man who
once was prominent in the political
life Of the nation. who occupied a seat
in the United States senate and hose
vote saved Andrew Johnson from be-
ing removed from the Presidency. HIS
name is Edmuud G. Ross and he was
once governor " New Mexico.
Gov. Ross, as he is known to tho peo-
pie OF New Mexico, is one of the ubiq-
uituus Ohio men. He vas born 10
years ago in Ashland, Ohio. near the
birthplace of Senator William b. ALI
son OF Iowa. Gov. Ross is me of the
Oldest printers living. When s years
old he began learning his trade.
Thenceforth the printing office was his
only school. The slavery excitement
OF the early sos found the young print
err foreman of a job office in Milwau-
kee. OF Puritan ancestry. lie was natu-
rally an intense abolitionist. The for
nation of the young Republican party
at Ripon. Wis, appealed to him. He
oon after took an active part in
bringing about a meeting in Milwau-
kee for the organization of the party
at that place. Then he removed to
Kansas. and entered the fight for free
dom in the new territory. In 1865 he
founded the Topeka Tribune. one Of
the first newspapers west of the Mis-
souri, river. As its editor he rendered
no small service to the anti-slavery
cause. When the fight for freedom and
the Union reached the war stage tho
young editor followed 1t up. enlisting
as a private in the Eleventh Kansas
Cavalry. He saw service with his com
mand throughout the war, and at its
end was mustered ont with the rank Of
lieutenant-colonel. When Col. Ross
returned to Topeka the Legislature was
in a deadlock over the election of a
senator. His faithful and efficient serv-
ice to his party before the war and his
record in the army rendered him a
conspicuous figure at the capital. and
the long deadlock was broken by his
election.

HAUNT OF WILD BIRDS.

Granite Gin Near North Cape, Holland,
Literally Covered with Them.
One of the greatest haunts OF wild
birds in the world Is Hjelmso-Stauren,
a mighty cliff of granite rising from
the ocean near the North Cape, Hol-
land. 1t is a precipitous wall nearly
1000 feet in height. whose surfaces
are broken by inches and shelves and

CURIOUS FORM oF Theft.
Stealing kslios and Curios "a Regular
Brnnoh OF the Business.

Brnnoh of the Business.
When thieves decide to break
through IL steal they will penetrate
almost anywhere and take anything
which comes to hand. Stealing relics
and curios 10 a recognized branch OF
the profession" and it requires a nice
discernment and a thorough knowl-
edge Of the value of such articles. A
rich Arab living in Cairo recently de-
lighted his friends with the exhibition
Of a collection of wal relics and Jewels
valued AT 81. 800 900. He said he had
bought them in London. The sultan's
spies. however, thought otherwise.
That potentate had spent $500, 900 in
the past three years in trying to trace
lections. which he keeps housed In his
palaces in Constantinople. And there
was no m%istaking the portion found In
Cairo. The rich Arab and his collec-
ton mysteriously disappeared, and nc
one thinks ii safe to be too curious
about the mans fate.
Some slight sensation was caused
recently by the theft of relics from the

the original rose had been stolen by
the connivance OF one OF the inferior
palace o~ficials and smuggled out OF
the country to adorn the cabinet OF a
well-known curio collector. In the
New Forest, England, is a stone which
marks the spot where Purkis picked
up the body OF William Rufus after he
had been shot by Walter Tyrrel. Some
years ago there was a mild ferment in
antiquarian circles over the sudden
disappearance of this ancient land
mark. Inquiry developed the fact that
the stone had been quietly annexed"
without leave or license, by n curio
collector, who thought 1t would be a
good thing to have around the house.
The stone vas recovered and reverent-
ly replaced in It's old spot in the New
Forest. where an iron covering now
guards it against the hands Of curio
collectors whose enthusiasm is likely
to get the better of their sense of pro-
priety. In Westminster Abbey there
Is a remarkable collection OF wax fg-
ures representing kings and queens
and heroes. 1t is one OF the sights
which the tourist always sees when he
visits the ancient minister; but few
persons are aware that the collection
used to be much larger than it is now.

He had shown no indication of aspir-
ing to national leadership. He was
popular in the senate His future was
full OF promise. When the congress
sional leaders at length determined
upon impeachment as a means for de-
posing President Johnson they never
doubted that they could rely OF the
Kansas senator to the utmost. 1t was
well understood that several Republic
can senators were not kindly disposed
toward such an extreme measure as
impeachment, and toward the end Of
the trial Senators Fessenden, Fowler,
Grimes. Henderson, Trumbull and Van
Wrinkle announced their opposition to
conviction upon any Of the charges,
and several others had announced that
they did not believe there was any evil
dence to sustain several Of the articles
OF impeachment. At this juncture the
attitude of Senator Ross became a
source of much uneasiness to the OPP
ponents Of the President. After the
senate had been organized as a court
to hear the case, Ross had resolutely
refused to discuss its merits or to say
what his vote would be. He would only
