city of Havana Decorated.

Havana May 22.-The natal day OF
the republic of Cuba found Havana ar
rayed like a queen to await the coming
Of her lord. The decorations were uni
versal. Men had worked all night bv
the light of torches to complete elaborate
designs. There was not residence, pre-
tentious or humble, that did not bear
upon its quaint facade some emblem IN
honor of the event. The many arches
erected at the entrances of pldzas by po-
litical societies, fraternal clubs, residences
o. various civil divisions of the city,
and business organizations had an air of
regal grandeur. The scaffolding was COW
cred with canvas painted in imitation Of
marble, and from distance the illusion
was complete Bunting spread on Nene-
tan masts canopied the deep narrow
streets from the rays of the sun. Be
meath the canopes the Cuban colors and
palms graced the open doorways, through
which gimpses could be caught of uXn-
RANT gardens in cool, inner courts. Many
of the balconies jutting from the white
walled buildings were adorned with roses.
Nature seemed in harmony with the spirit
of the festivities. The parks were literal
ly ahame with tropical flowers, and the
vaulted sky above might have been CHS
eled out of turquoise. Above every red
tiled roof rose a Cuban flag. The whole
city seemed suddenly buried beneath a
forest of waving banners. The decora-
lions along the water front were exceed
ingly lavish and all the shipping in the
harbor was dressed in gala attire.
The majority of the ships flew the
American ensign at the main and the
Cuban colors at the fore or mizzen. The
American colors, which wee to be hauled
uown in a few hours. still tloated above
the grim walls of the fortress which
guards the entrance of the harbor. No
another bit of color showed upon them

factory compromise is then effected the
bill will fail to pass in any shape, and
the reduction of the duty on Cuban
sugar and on the differential will be
buried in the same grave. This is a
neat scheme to prevent a concession to
the leading industrial interest of Cuba,
which is regarded by the president and
his cabinet and the representatives of
the United States in Cuba as necessary
to save it's people from great distress
and to which our government is inn
pliedly committed. Reciprocal trade ar
rangements with Cuba are demanded
not only by the national honor but by
the commercial interests of this coun-
try in a large extension of it's trade, but
above all by the larger political inter-
ests involved in the opportunities which
more intimate trade relations will aft
ford for the cultivation of closer and
friendlier relations with the Cuban
people.
But altho the defeat of this measure
is to be deplored, the means taken and
the arguments used to bring 1T about
are likely to have indirect consequences
which will more than compensate for
this temporary setback of the policy OF
reciprocity in this particular case. For
the most conspicuous and cogent of
these arguments was that reciprocal
trade concessions should not be given
to Cuba unless they were given to 9TH
err countries, such as Canada and
France, with which the volume of our
trade is much greater. The insurgents
virtually demanded reciprocity on this
larger scale, and so distinctly coupled
their refusal to grant it to Cuba on the
opposition to liberal policy of reci-
procity with other countries and to the
demand for a reduction of duties on
trust-made articles which no longer
need protection that they may be freely
said to be committed to this more liber-
al and progressive tariff policy. They
have at the same time broken the spell
of republican subservience to the die
tatorial authority of the ways and,
means committee on the tariff question,
and have thus effected broad breach.
in the solid wall of party unity on the
do-nothing, let-alone policy. The in
surgents have probably defeated Cuban
reciprocity for the time being. but to
accomplish this they have invoked the
aid of the spirit of tariff reform, which
is supported by an overwhelming pop
ular demand, and have summoned into
the contest forces representing the
most progressive elements of the re-
publican party, which will compel the
adoption of Il more liberal tariff and
recopricity policy in the near future.

BRITISH USERS OF AmEaIcAn ENGINES.

The use of American engines on
British railways. especially upon those
in Egypt, is discussed in report by
The earl of Cromer, the British consul
general in Cairo, a copy of which has
just reached the treasury bureau of
statistics. The report states thar
American manufacturers are able to
furnish engines of their standard types
at lower prices and in less time than
British manufacturers, but that for
specially manufactured engines upon
orders, differing In detail from Ameri-
can types, the prices of British manu-
facturers are slightly below those OF
the United States, and that tests of
American and British engines in actual
service have shown that the American
engines consume from % to so per cent
more coal than those manufactured in
England. Two offers from American
and British manufacturers for special-
~ made engines according to specifica-
lions Issued by the Egyptian railway

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked. TN
what way are Chamberlains Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills?"
the answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable. as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by

Meaning of the "Insursent" Victory,

-lOIecI IItSS.
The report of the sentiment in the
senate concerning the reduction of the
differential On refined sugar, which
was carried by the united insurgent
and democratic votes, indicates that the
insurgents We're not far astray in call
culating to defeat reciprocity with Gu
ba by loading the bill down with this
amendment. The reduction of the diff
ferential is claimed to be a blow at the
Havemeyer trust, which is strong, they
must have struck more serious blow
at the OXnard trust, which has been
pleading it's weakness Whatever slim
illus is given to the importation of re-
fined sugar by the diminished duty
would be more serious for the concern
that produces at greater cost.
But when the senate strikes out the
reduction, on the differential and the
bill comes back to the house the in
surgents will rely on the democrats to
support the motion for non-concur-
renee. The bill will then go to a con-
ference committee, and unless a salts.

If Mr.. Carnegie would only turn his
attention to free public meat marketsl

with the charges made against the Wa
terloo pest house. Inquiry found eleven
families out Of a total of twenty desti-
tude, most of them without anything to
eat. The general complaint in regard
county was that the quantity is not
sufficient to last until the next issue OF
rations. Such treatment would justify
patients in breaking quarantine.
Farmers in FRANKLIN county are ex-s
perimenting with peach growing, sew
eral having set out as many as 300
trees in their orchards. How success
full they will be In growing the fruit is
to be seen, but Franklin county itself
will remain peach" always.
A controversy that illustrates the
prosperous condition of the Iowa farm
ers arose at public sale in Blackhawl1
county the other day. One party had
bought horse and wanted to pay In,
cash the amount of his bid. The seller
refused to receive the cash and insisted
that the purchaser should give his note.
He insisted that as the published terms
of the sale called for sums under $40
in cash that cash might be refused for
all sums over that amount. He didn't
want money, he wanted note, and the
buyer at last settled on that basis.
Farmers should not lose sight of the
money to be made by matching good
horses into teams. OF course 1T takes
reasonably expert horseman to do this
successfully, but once accomplished the
selling price of the team is usually
much greater than the aggregate
amount the horses will bring singly.
Recently matched team sold at the
union sthock yards to Attorney General
Knox for $4,000. Other matched
teams have sold at the same market
for $4,000 to $4,000. And only the other
day matched team sold for $4,000.

WEAK LUNGS
AS Indicated BY A Hacking
Cough.
vinoI Will Cure
Lung Affections.

when you have cough you are con-
tinually fearing something worse.
Do not let yourselves get in this condi-
ton. Come and talk to us and let us tell
you why we know Vinol is the best thing
that you can take for q hacking cough
with tendency to lung trouble.
One of the greatest remedies that has
ever been prescribed by physicians for
consumption and all wasting diseases is
cod liver oil. You know how disagreeable
it is to take. We have actually seen
people who would rather take their
chances than to take that medicine. Now
with Vinol this is all different. To be
sure it owes its value to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated form
the valuable medicinal properties that
have made cod liver oil famous for such
diseases, but let US remind you that it
does not contain any OF, or grease that
makes the old form of cod liver oil SO
Objectionable and often SO impossible to
a weakened stomach.
Try our Vinol if you are experiencing
any bronchial or lung trouble. It does
not upset the stomach. 1t will do that
organ good, not only by creating an APP
petite but by enabling it to better assimi-
late the food that is taken into it. 1t will
increase the nourishing properties OF this
same food, SO that the system will take
up all the elements it needs to make rich
red blood and firm flesh.
When this is done the doors OF the
system are closed against consumption,
and any existing irritation or diseased
membrane will be cured.
Mr.. Thomas Morton, saltwater, Maine,
says: My grandson has been troubled
with bad cough lately and learning that
vinol was good for all pulmonary ills, /
got a bottle of it for The boy. All can
say is that it proved just the medicine he
needed. he now feels much better, and
his cough has disappeared.
The reason we promise to refund
the cost Of vinol, to all who do not
experience the benefits that we claim
It will bring about. Is because we
know BY experience that It invariably
accompiishes everything we claim
for It. It Is very successful

THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

The democrats without doubt will be
forced to fight the coming COMPRESSION
al campaign on the old issue against
protection. Outside Of the financial
question it is the only real issue it has
had since 1860. There is no issue OF
Imperialism, no matter how strenuous
ly democratic leaders may endeavor to
boost this boyle into prominence. The
people at large are fully cognizant that
both parties are equally responsible for
the Spanish American war and the in
cidental possession of the Philippines
More than this, they are awake to the
possibilities of an eastern depot for
American trade and alive to the Inn
portance of American domination OF
Asiatic commerce. With the elimina-
ton of the attempted issue of ''imperi-
alism" the democrats are forced TO th''
ground occupied by them in the two
latest presidential campaigns, they
must come before the country with a
proposition for free coinage of silver
or renew the tariff issue they discarded
in favor of Mr.. Bryan's pet theory.
Either way the democracy may take
seems no thoroughfare. 1t is out of the
question to bring n proposal for
change of financial policy before peo-
pie as busy and prosperous as is the
case at present in every portion OF the
United States. 1t is quite as incredible
that the western farmers or the wage
earners of the east will assent to rad
ical reversal of tariff laws which would
disturb and disorganize commerce,
paralyze the industrial centers and re-
duce consumption and prices of food
products to minimum. The effect of
democratic majority in congress has
not as yet become history. 1t is still
matter of common knowledge and con-
Germ.
1t is hard for ordinary observers to
see reasonable grounds for the dep.o-
cratic predictions of a successful cor
gressional campaign. 1t is an off year,
to be sure, and the people occasionally
cut curious political capers in such
years, but there seems no real occas-
ion for fear this year. The fight mus.
be made in the middle west and that
agricultural section is in thorough
sympathy with the present republican
administration and the prosperity and
prices that obtain under it's policy.
Taken in all, the democratic party my

LET THE C0BBLER STICK TO HIS LAST.
There is an ancient story familiar to
school boys that contains an obvious
moral. A sculptor having completed a
statue placed it before the populace
for criticism and approval. The work
appeared beyond criticism, until 9. cob
bier drew the respect and admiration
of the assemblage by pointing out a
disproportion between the length of the
foot and the heigth of the figure. In
toxicated by praise he then proceeded
to criticise the technique of the artist
and find general fault with his work
In contempt of the ignorance of art in
general that he displayed the people
turned upon him with contumely, for
getting in his present ignorance the ex-
actness of his previous criticism and
scornfully recommended that the cob
bier should stick to his last" Thus
the cobbler lost by over assumption
the glory gained by actual merit
It may be well for Genral Funston
to heed the story of the Atheniall cob
bier. Like General Miles and the par
rot he talks too much. A brave soldier
and wise leader in war, he goes be-
yond his business to criticise his SUI
periors. There is All impression grow
ing in the country against oratorical
soldiers. Perhaps General Miles is
largely responsible for this, but Gen
eraI Funston will do well to heed it,.
He will find it well to stick to his last
1t is lamentably true that our war
heroes insist in undoing in peace the
poular approval earned in war. Cen
eral Funston and General Miles talk
too much. Admiral Dewey left his
last to chase a political will O. the wisp
Sampson and Schley lost in squabble
on land what they gained in battle
afioat, and Hobson kissed into ridicule
the fame of noble heroism. Futur.
heroes should take warning by these
examples and not expose themselves
to the fate of the presumptuous cob
bier.
