Havana, Feb. Spain and
Cuba are on the verge of a dip.
lomatic breach.
Cuba bitterly resents the &C
ton of Spain in forcing Minis.
ter Merchan, it's representative
at Madrid, to haul down the
Cuban flag that fioa ted over his
house.
SPANS contention that the
law prevents the flying of for
.eign flags over private houses
is met by the statement that the
minister's home is the Cuban
legation.
1t is feared the rabble here
will attack the Spanish minis

GOOD ROADS
NECESSARY.
Will Not Permit Rural Mail Delivery On
Horseback.

Mount Vernon, Ill, February
Elm response to request Of
Postmaster H. Il. Watson for
five leather bags for the use of
rural carriers, who are often
obliged to make the trip on
horseback. A N. MaChen,
general superintendent of the
division of ru al delivery at
Washingtonreplies that mailo on
horseback or on bicycle is not
sufficiently protected from the
weather. If the patrons have
not enough interest to keep the
roads in such condition that
they may be easily travelled bv
the carriers on schedule time,
says the superintendent, the
service will be Withdrawn fro m
the community.
Now you will see that it is
not only the DEMOCRAT that
asks tor good roads. Uncle
Sam says: 1t must be good
roads or no R. F. D. Farmers

enjoying the II F. D. Mail

Heather Objects.

Bully for Senator H. Clay
Heather, say we. He opposes
appropriating one cent for the
State lair. He calls attention
to the proviso in the law estab'
fishing the fair which declares
that no money shall be appro.
priated for the fair. Before the
ink was dry on the new law,
the fair asked for and received
fifty thousand dollars. Now
they want one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, Thus
the bill was conceived in fraud
and was passed under false
pretenses. Senator Heather
thinks if we are to appropriate
one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to fairs, it would be
better to give three thousand
dollars each to fifty fairs about
the state. But so long as our
asylums for the blind, deaf and
dumb, insane and lntirm are
overcrowded and in great need
of help, it would be little short
of criminal to vote one penny
for fairs. Until our unfortunate
ones are properly housed and
cared for, the legislator who
votes to give S150,000 to the
State fair ought to be tarred
and feathered and rode out OF
the State on a rail with tin car

Tariff For Foreigners.

If a tariff raises the price Of
articles used by the citizens of
the country levying the tariff
then there can be no excuse for
levying a tariff except on the
score of dire necessity, as in
times of war when immense
sums of money are urgently need
ed and can be obtained in no
other way. The Republicans
realizing this fact have avoided
the dilemma by maintaining
that the foreigner paid the tar
iff tax. Why then was the tar
iff taken off of coal? Was it
not to cheaper the price of coal?
And how could this cheaper
the price of coal If the foreign.
er was paying the tax?-Her.

REGULATING THE FOURTH.

1t noticed that several of the cities
of the state are adopting regulate ns
regarding the celebration of the coming
national holiday. the Fourth of July
that should tend to reduce the number
of accidents that are always Chronicled
after the observance of this day. Young
America should be given every oppOr-
tunity to whoop it up in celebration of
the glorious anniversary, but such cele-
bration should not go to the point of
endangering the lives of those who
may be taking no part in the celebra-
ton while it may be that some should
be protected from the results of their
own folly. Missing eyes, manned hands,
o" in some cases the death of the victim
have no place in the proper celebrate IN
of the day, yet after every Fourth a
certain number of these casualties are
reported. The city of Lawrence has
adopted regulations prohibiting the
sale of pistols or similar firearms dur
ing the observance of the holiday, while
another city has found it necessary to
pass a regulation forbidding the plac-
ing of explosives on the car tracks of
the city, this having been a favorite
form of amusement in the past, and
some very fearful results having been
obtained. In many places such regula-
lions are necessary and where they
are they should be made and enforced
The day will be enjoyed fully as well,
and the results will be more satisfac-
tory.-Newburyport News.

WILKES BOOTH
WAS UNIDENTIFIED
NO TRUTH IN THE STORY TOLD
BY THE OKLAHOMA SUICIDE
IDENTIFICATION OF BOOTH.

II Is IS years since John Wilkes
Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lin
coin, was shot by Boston Corbett in a
blazing barn near FrederiCksbur and
his body was taken with great secrecy
by night to Washington and buried
there. About four years after it was
eXhumed and given to the Booth fam
lily for final burial. 1t is now dust in
the family lot in o Baltimore cemetery.
No Identification could be more COM
plete than that of his body at that time
by his brother, Edwin Booth. Yet there
have arisen legends of his survival and
life under other names,-very recently
a long and interesting story was told
of a Rev. Mr.. Armstrong, prominent
minister in a southern city, whom hum
dreds believed to be Booth. He bore Il
remarkable resemblance to the bril-
liant actor, he was fond of the drama
and dramatic himself, and he rather
cherished the illusion. Yet this man
had had a wholly different career,
which was traced without difficulty.
Now another candidate for this ignom-
my apears in a man who killed himself
in January in Oklahoma. 1t is simply
another legend, of course; but it is
rather odd that such a growth of

one who was not a hero, but an exc
Grated murderer.
1t is claimed at Baltimore, in con-
nection with the report from Enid
Okl., that John Wilkes Booth, assassin
of President Lincoln, died there Janu-
airy IA, under the name of David f.
George by persons familiar with the
case, that there is no doubt whatever
that Booths body is buried in Green
mount cemetery. The body was brought
to that city after the elimination in
| Washington. When the coffin was
opened the dead actor was recog'
rized by persons who had known
him intimately in his lifetime. Among
them were members of his fomily. The
Identification was absolute. The body
now lies in the Booth lot, but without
any headstone or mark over the grave
Clara Morris denies the report that she
recently identified the body of George
as Lincoln's assassin.
