A REPULSIVE SUGGESTION.

Galveston News.
That the Cubans will ever be able
to maintain a government unless it is
mere appandage to this, is seriously
doubted by any one who knows the
character OF Cuban citizenship and
geography The suggestion Of speed
lly starving these people into a course
which they may at later day gladly
take is repulsive to every principle OF
honor The crime suspected may not
be committed. At the same time,
Cuba is isolated in the matter OF her
export commerce by the actions of
other nations. Unless concessions
are made her by this country her
lands must be turned out to waste
and her people impoverished. Rather
Than that, it would be natural that
they would take the only course left
open, that is to make their island a
part of this country. We complained
tnat Spain murdered when the
Cubans did not give freely. Let US
not follow by process of starving be.
cause the Cubans will not give all
even their country. Cuba will un.
Questionably become part OF this
country, but when it becomes such

THE NICARAGUAN ROUTE.


Congressman William Richardson
OF Alabama in speech delivered in
the house, emphasized the Importance
TO the Southern States OF the con.
struction OF an isthmian canal. At
the same time he pointed out that
the results would be beneficial TO the
entire nation. lie said that the South
wanted an increased commerce and
trade, that this ambition would be
largely advanced by the prompt con-
struction OF the Nicaraguan canal
Mr.. Richardson cited significant
fact when lie said that the isthmian
canal had been under discussion for
more than fifty years and that these
discussions have contemplated the
Nicaraguan route. Now, after the
obstacle OF the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
has been removed, after bill provid-
ing for the Nicaraguan route has pass.
ed the house, Mr.. Richardson does
not think that any thoughtful advo-
cate OF an isthmian canal is justified
ih opposing the enterprise with rela.
tion to the Nicaraguan route. Mr..
Richardson said:
"The Nicaraguan coast is 600 miles
nearer to our eastern frontier, and $50
miles nearer our western frontier than
the Panama canal. This, according
to the most reasonable computation,
means five days more for steamers OF
average speed and fifteen days for
sailing ships by the Nicaragua than
by the Panama rOute-a loss OF time
that is OF immense significance to
ships OF commerce and to our ships OF
war. We would be substantially ex-
cluded from all voice in canal built
by Costa Rica and Nicaragua with
money borrowed from Europe, and |
our canal at Panama would be more
than 400 miles farther from the Unit.
ed States than the Nicaraguan route.
The competition of two canals, one
built with European and Asiatic
money and the other owned by the
United States, would soon lead to
antagonisms, and finally result in
hOStilities"

Ia the ranks Of sick, tortured and
diseased sufferers many men and
women have become hopeless because
OF the failures Of physicians and their
medicines.
We would have all such detected and
d~espalring mortals take comfort this
very day. We would impress upon
them the blessed truth that Palne's
Celery Compound is abundantly able
70 save and cure ever at the
eleventh hour. Paine's Celery Com
pound accompllshes It's life-saying
work for the old and young when all
other medical treatment fails. A
multitude Of people have furnished
strong ana incontrovertible testimony
In support Of the statement that
sPaine's Celery Compound makes sick
people we'll Mr. John ". Boyd, Of
Mlshawaka, Ind, refers 10 his own
case As follows:
Last winter ! was taken down with
3 very severe attack Of nervous and

especial interest to people who are at
home on the prairies. 1t is called
ssThe Biography Of a Prairie Girl"
and the author is Eleanor Gates, a
Young woman who spent her child
hood in Dakota and who thus writes
from the closest personal observation.
The time OF Miss Gates story is
about twenty-five years ago; 1t Is put
in the form Of a personal narrative OF
the life OF a little girl, and there is
hardly a phase or event Of prairie life
which is not touched upon in these
pages-the blizzard, breaking colts,
horse stealing by Indians, school days
on the frontier, fighting gophers and
badgers, cattle raising and other
typical phases Of hardship and pros
perIty.
1t is not a novel, but the same
characters appear and reappear 10 the
story with a reality which impresses
the reader with confidence in the
truth Of the narrative.
