A SUICIDE.
Farmer Finds a tramp" Hanging ir
His Barn.

Tuesday morning, az Mr. Johnston,
living about two miles east of town,
on what is known as the Young farm,
went out to the barn he was horrified
to find man hanging behind the
horses, quickly cutting him down he
bent his ear to the poor mans chest
to see II he was dead. He was over
joyed to find life still there as he dis
tinctly heard his heart beat, Some
popularity of the mans nose led him
to think it was the same one that had
called there week or two before and
hsdn' 'treceived very hearty welcome.
TO his clothes was pinned piece of
dirty brown paper on which was
scrawled: 81 take this way tew end
mi trubbles foxes wunt give me no
vittles and can't git DO wurk."
Tears welled to the kindly eyes of
Mr.. Johnston as he read this and
thoughts Of establishing a free lunch
counter In his back kitchen rushed
through his mind. Calling to one Of
his sons so fetch the cordial (Ken-
lucky brand) he pressed it to the lips
of the prostrate man, but in pressing
the bottle he was most too energetic
and musty odor arose which caused
him to make a closer Investigation
which resulted in establishing the fact
that the mao over whom he was
bending was stuffed with musty straw.
Then instead Of bending his ear he
bent his foot aud kicked himself two
and one-half times around the barn,
wondering how he could have made
the mistake of thinking he heard the
mans heart beat until he recollected
that he (Johnston) carried an old
ticker in his vest pocket.
Who hung up the old duffer is a
mystery probably done for joke but
Johnston claims he is ahead for he
has a suit of clothes and a pair Of
shoes, while not just such as he would
wear to church, they will do to wear
to town on special occasions.

A CLEAN PAGE IN HISTORY.

1t should be a. matter of pride
with every American that the
United States have acted so con-
sistently and in such good faith
with China during and since the
Boxer troubles. Rightly enough,
this governments course has call
ed forth the favorable comment of
the world.
When the allies presented their
demands for indemnities to China,
the United States and Japan were
the only nations that did not place
exorbitant burdens on the erring
Chinese. The representatives Of
this government acted in accord
with American traditions in deal
ing honesty and in trying to mini
mize the demands OF other pow
ers.
That action is to be followed BY
q further demonstration Of the un-
s~elf6shness Of this country. An
nouncement is made that about
sI8, 10000 Of the sa5,ooo,o 900 in
demnity granted TO the United
States for injuries suffered during
the Boxer troubles will be return
ed to China.
Legally, CUR government could
keep the entire sl8,ooo,ooo FOL

claims. Morally, the nationa.

during the last half of the past
century. 1t has fallen to his
lot to stand as the most, ardent
champion of absolute independence,
and he has threatened all sorts of
trouble should the United States in
sist on any conditions before grant
ing Cuban self-government.
Twice he has served the cause of
Cuba'as provisional president during
the revolutions against Spain. Dur
ing the vars that ragged over Cuba in
the SOS he played a conspicuous part
and. was chosen provisional president
of the island republic He held the
questionable office until Spanish arms
had conquered all opposition to Span
ish rule, and then went to New York.
In that city he earned a somewhat
precarious living as a retail cigar
merchant, and attracted to his place
Of business many other Cuban agi-
tators who had sought refuge in this
country at the close of the war, Of
| this little coterie of friends he re-
NAMED the leader.
When the last revolution, that re-
suited in the final overthrow of Span
ish rule in Cuba, broke out he again
took a prominent part, and was again
chosen provisional president. His
Cuban friends in New York either re-
turned to the island to fight in the
ranks of the Cuban army, OF became
associated with the Cuban junta in
this country, and he directed much
of their efforts.

man is. himself of noble Spanish
birth. his title being marquis de
R~elancourt, but little more than this
is known Of his personal history
aside from the part he has taken in
Cuba's fight for freedom.

DANGER IN THE SITUATION.

HAWuGH In HE !,
Notwithstanding the fact of the
apparent clear understanding be-
tween the United States and Ger
many as to a settlement of the lat
grievance against Venezuela
which shall not infringe upon Am
efican rights, there is a certain
danger now developing in the stu
uation.
This danger is found in the nee
essary assembling of German and
American fleets in Venezuelan wat
ers for the purpose of adequately
protecting the interests of their re-
spective governments. -Four Ger
man ~warships are already on the
scene and the United States has
dispatched a formidable squadron
to confront the German fleet and
prevent injury to American rights
or a disregard of American doc
trines and American influence in
the western hemisphere.
Judging from the experience Of
Admiral Dewey in Manila Bay fol-
lowing the great victory Of May I,
1893, and of Admiral Kautz in Sa-
moan waters during the progress
of the Mataafa- Malietoa war, the
self restraint of the American ma
val commander in the present in
stance is likely to be subjected to
a severe test. A bearing Of insolent
hostility towards representatives
of this government e ms to be
invariable with German naval of.
hcers. On both sides, apparently,
there is a firm conviction that early
war between the two nations is in,
evitable. Our own officers are
swift to resent German i~nsolence
and 10 effectively warn tn ell
almost open enemies that its con
%tinuation would mean a fight.
Vita this spirit awake in boil
navies, the meeting Of the German
and American squadrons in Vene
zulean waters is unquestionabl,
possessed Of perilous possibilities
The crisis now developing, there
fore,will be watched with solicitud
? by thoughtful persons, Not unit;
the German-Venezuelan disput
. is settled and the German an,
American ships recalled from he
present assignment will the strai
of the situation be removed.

yesterday. 1.-The republicans of that

opinion that the time has arrived to do
something. 1t is conceded that changes
ought to be made in the tariff and they
desire to have them made now While
the republicans are in control. They
are certainly opposed to waiting until
the sentiment becomes so strong that
the democrats will triumph and bring
about state of affairs such as existed
from 1892 to 1885,"
