The late Mr.. w.J.Brysn will pscba-
bly, have some hot stuff in his next
Commonest, owing to the fact that
Hor. Grover Cleveland has come to
life again. Mr. Cleveland's remarks
on any subject will hardly Rave any
effect, unless it Is to inspire amnse-
ment. The republioars LOOK 60 their
own party for wisdom and advice,
aRd the Democrats have long been
of the opinion that Grover is more
OF Republican than a Democrat,
hence his political uttersnoes are
lisely to go begging.

PALMA OBJECTS
It is Still Believed Cuba viii Decide
on Treaty.
The State Departments Proposition
Was Not an Ulhmatum.

Washir gton, Oct. 29-The fact re-
corded in the news dispatches from
gavans. that President Palma has
returned to Washington the draft OF
tho reciprocity treaty without his ap-
provsl, has not shaken the belief Of
the officials here that they will have
a treaty ready to submit to congress
by the date Of its next meeting. As
soon as Mr. Quesecs, the Cuban min.
lister here, receives the document, he
will submit it 10 Secretary Hay The
latter already has knowledge Of he
general nature OF the objections found
by the Cuban government. The nego-
tiations will be continued on the basis
OF the original draft.
For il is explicitly stated that the
proposition sumitted by the state de-
psrtment was in no sense an ultima
tum ard the matter is still open to ad.

rom 10 per cent to so per cent in

Colombian Government Trying to
Skin Uncle Sam.
Wants Ten Million Dollars For Ca
nal Treaty-Offored $1,000, 900.

Washington, Oct. 29-The long ex-
pected response of the Columbian
government to the proposition made
by the state department for the nego-
tiations of canal treaty ON the lines
of the Spooner act has reached Wash
ington and been presented TO the state
department.
For one thing, the Colombian gov.
eminent now is entirely dissatisfied
with the small amount of the payment
TO be made TO it by the United States
under the terms Of the protocol,
which it is proposed to use as the
basis for the treaty. This sum Is
$40, 900, 900. Colombi ia wants at least
800. 900, 900. Moreover, the original
proposal looked to a wait of IA years
before beginning the payment of annu-
al rental, the amount of which was
TO be then fixed by mutual agreement.
Colombia now asks the United States
to agree at once on a lump yearly pay
ment of $500, 900. which viii oonsid-
erably increase the immediate cost OF
the enterprise. The Colombian govern
ment olings to its contention that it
has no constitutional authority to ali
enate any Colombian territory and re-
iterates that the best it can do to meet
the Language of the Spooner act, which
looks to perpetual control by the Unit
cd States over the canal strip, is to
make q 100 year lease, with distinct
stipulation that the same shall be re.
Movable by the United States at the
expiration Of the first century.
The response is believed to include
representations respecting American
naval officers recent interference on
the isthmus, which is expected TO pre-.
vent immediate resumption of treaty
negotiations.

FAMOUS MARQUETTE TREE.

famous tree In the confines OF the

years old and its gnarled branches
have sheltered many noted man In its
time. The tree is seven feet in diam

Holman many years ago found some
ancient French coins and other relics
near the tree. When Pere Marquette
in 1872 made his great exploring and
missionary tour through the North
American possessions of Louis XIV. he
made the descent Of the Kankakee
river and II is a well authenticated
fact that he set up an altar under the
branches c. this tree and celebrated
mass. The tree then stood in the
center Of the grove, but from year to

zens who will give the peorle a stable,
honest government, and will at all
times protect the public from exorbi-

opinion the Republicans will do bet
ter, and inasmuoh as the people are
tired Of Democratic ring rule, and at
least half Of the present Democratic
nominees are members of the present
Administration, and were appointed
by the fountain head OF local Demo-
cratic wisdom, Mayor Injunction Yei-
ser, the people are mighty apt to have
g change. The Democratic defenders
offer not a single reason why their tick
et should be elected, and the past acts
of the crowd stand as potent and OBJ
vious reasons why it should not be
elected. It seems to be the prevailing
opinion that no set of men that could
be put out in Paducsh for Office could
do quite as bad as the Democrats.
