Connection With the United

Washington, Dec. 1O.-DWilg the
debate in the senate on the Cuban
treaty Morgan was the principal speak
er and took occasion to refer frequent
ly to the Panama canal treaty. and in
that connection again freely criticised
what he denominated presidential
usurpation." He declared that the
United States is becoming affected
to the core with covetouSness. and he
said the country seemed to be CULVER
ing with doubt as to whether it should
go over entirely or pursue the better
course followed by our national fa-
theirs. He asserted that the United
States would do as it might please
with the island of Cuba, and added:
"She is now fettered to the decks of
our warships as firmly as Professor
Langley's airship was ever attached TO
his hOuseboat."

He spoke of the negotiation of the
Panama canal treaty as 4 grotesque
act, and declared that Panama had
mo more right to appoint minister to
hte United States than that country
had to cOnsecrate a saint. He came as
swift winged messenger of false
hood, dispatched on his mission by the
Panama Canal company"
Says That Cuba Would Better Look Out.
Morgan said that Cuba would do
well to give careful haed to our pur-
poses in the legislation under consid-
Grafton. They should not follow the

the mouth, for in this case 1.-The gift
horse is a bronco which greetS them
with Whitney and may send them

Panama situation Morgan said that
the United States is practically ut war
with Colombia.
Predicts the Secession of Cuba
He predicted that the time would
come when Cuba would clip the
threads that restrain her and bind her
to us, and again float off into the sea
of liberty" In such an effort, he con-
tfnued, Cuba might find a friend in
Germany, which might follow our eX-
ample and create Il state of independ-
ence in night and then annex it with
the coming sunrise. No doubt there
would be fighting, for who, he asked,
'is mere eager to fight than Emperor
William or our own strenuous presi-
dent"

He then proceeded to say that only

A GOOD TINE
For Whole Families to Move
to BellefOntdine.

Dispatches from Butler. Pa, an
nounce that the typhoid fever sit
uation there. is graver than ever,
and an appeal for 100000 has been
made to the country to help stay the
scourge.
At Cleveland there have been more
casee the present year than there
have been in ten years before.
In all cases typhoid fever comes
from a polluted water supply. 1t is
an animal poison, and in nearly all
cases it gets into the system through
the use of polluted water. Some
times, as at Butler and Cleveland,
the city water is polluted by sewage,
drainage from slaughter houses, or
from creeks whose water has been
polluted. Sometimes springs or wells
are polluted by drainage from Gene
teries, cess pools or slaughter houses,
or from dead rabbits or other ami
mais. Whole families have been
stricken down by the foul water of 4
single well. As towns grow older and
wells and springs grow more and
more polluted by sewage, and as OBJ
tanning full water supply for large
cities becomes more difficult, the
danger from typhoid fever becomes
more and more serious.
Fortunate, therefore, is the family
and city that has a deep water sup
ply that is both pure and bountiful.
Driven wells should be the rule, with
families, and springs and surface
wells should he abandoned. Wells
driven through clay and gravel, into
the rock, should be the rule.
Our city is peculiarly blessed in it's
water supply. in its purity and abun-
dance, and we cannot be thankful
enough for the immunity it brings
us from the typhoid terror. Close
observation by physicians, boards of
health and water works officials, has
shown that since our present supply
of water was obtained over ten years
ago, there has not been a case of
typhoid fever in our city, that has
not been introduced by visiting in
other places, or by milk brought in
from infected districts.
