SAYS LIBERTY is
DEAD IN CUBA
Gomez Declares Conditions
Under Palma Worse Than
During Weyler's Regime.
SAYS THE JAILS ARE FILLED
WITH POLITICAL PRISONERS

New York, Oct 5.-"Liberty is dead
in Cuba, and the condition of affairs
there is worse than it ever was under
Spanish rule, even in the most fero-
cious periods of the Weyler govern
ment
Financial ruin and dishonor face
the people. If things continue as they
are the nation will be converted into
one of hereditary rule"
This declaration was made by Gen
Jose Miguel Gomez, Of the province
of Santa Clara, and candidate of the
liberal party FOR the presidency of Cuba,
at the New Amsterdam hotel, where
he is stopping.
Il am here to rest for some days, y
he continued, land to breathe the air
of liberty that is lacking in my own
country, and for which | have fought
SO long.
FILLED With Political Prisoners.
"On false charges the government
assassinates the liberals, the jails are
filled with political prisoners, and we
have no hope of justice from judges
and magistrates, who recognize no law
but the will of the government. We
are hindered in cast ng our votes, and
Cuba is now suffering a reign of terror
never equaled under Spanish tyranny.
1T has become impossible to dare to
oppose the government without risk of
ones life and liberty. The mayor of
Havana has been dCnrived Of his Office
against the law, arG the whole city
council have been dismissed because
they were liberals
mo one dares confess his political
opinions for fear of assassination, for
which purpose the most desperate
criminals are allowed by the govern
ment to be at large.
Duty Of United states.
For what is happening in Cuba the
United States government has a direct
responsibility Palma is enabled to do
as he is doing only by telling the peo-
pie every day that in case of revolu-
ton or .disorder the United States would
send troops to punish them and to sus-
tain the Palma government
81 believe if the Plat amendment
holds the United States government re-
sponsible for order in Cuba it should
never be taken for support in the UNI
lawful acts ofsthe present government,
and to serve as screen for the com
mission of such acts as have been
committed against the opponents of the
goverpm qnt."

h. NJ Doss has been engaged by the
city authorities to collect the delinquent
water tax. There is something over 5000
due the corporation from the citizens
who have been using city water, and il
is the purpose of the authorities to col
lect this fund at once.
A party of gentlemen arrived here
from the North Wednesday, and were
driven TO the blue phosphate field west
of town on tour of inspection. Rumor
has it that big deal in blue rock is now
on foot, and If it is closed, the road
from Mt. Pleasant to Hickman county
will be built at once.
The fall openings at the dry goods
and millinery establishments this week
have been we'll attended, and all who
have visited the stores are loud in their
praise of the handsome and stylish
goods on display. Mt. Pleasant has
made rapid stride in this respect du-
ring the past few years, and 1t Is now an
established fact among the ladies here
that as handsome and as sty lish goods
can be purchased here as can be found
in the larger cities. Consequently,trade
in this line is now staying at home.
The usual mid week prayer services
were held at the churches Wednesday
evening.
Everything is unusually quiet around
the Recorders office this week, indicat-
ing that our people are on their good
behavior.
Work is progressing nicely on the new
cottage now being erected in Park Place
by Mayor w. ID. Cooper. 1t is under
stood that work on several other dwell
ings will soon be commenced in the new
addition.
Besides the new pavement to be laid
up Pleasant Street, the city authorities
have decided to extend the walk up
Washington avenue to the corporation
limits. The paving brick for the work
has been ordered.
Work has been commenced on the adj
dition of several Few rooms to Mr.. j. r.
Shackleford's home on Walnut Street.

CHEAP ADVERTISING
Why 1t Proves an Improbable
Investment For Merchants.

Cheap advertising is generi lily tire
most expensive investment the business
man can make. There is such thing
as getting good advertising cheap, but
cheap advertising is seldom good
Cheap advertising is Drug on the
market. That's why IT is cheap
Newspapers and periodicals with little
circulation or which are forced to give
their publications away In order TO
circulate them are generally vendors
of cheap advertising.
They are Obliged to sell their space
tor little or nothing, and no matter
how cheap they offer advertising. it IS
seldom worth half they ask. ANY
thing to fill up the paper is the motto
hanging on the wall of the vender of
cheap advertising. The result is a
constantly diminishing circulation list
and continual struggle to secure ad-
vertislng at any price The publisher
who furnishes his patrons with the
news cannot afford to sell his advertls
ing space for the price ASKED by the
anything to fill up publisher. He
doesn't have to, either tie can ask
and obtain fair pric3 for his adveI-
tislng space because ne can deliver tho
eoous The advertiser wants circula-
ton He wants assurance that his an
nouncement will be read by asutficient
number of people to justify him In
paving the price asked Dy the publish r
for the space useo.
Not only does the advertiser want
quantity in circulation, but hs is
particular about the quality. 1t makes
a vast difference whether paper Is
received into the homes OF COM
munity as daily friend, welcome
because of the entertainment and IN
formation to be found in its columns
and paid for because it is considered
one OF the daily nee -ssities, or whether
it is tossed on the doorstep by carrier
whose instructions are TO distribute
his papers, get lid OF them somehow
ana collect for them If he Can.
There Is no need to tell the progress
sive advertiser which medium is the
pest.-Fond du Lac wis. Reporter.
