The Cuban Revolt.

How much annexation sentiment has
to do with the Cuban revolt 1t is diff
cult to say. The instruction has
burst forth suddenly tho it has doubt
lesss been incubating for some time.
There has always been an annexation
party in the J and, composed of the old
Spanish families. who would rather be
citizens of the country which conquered
Spain than to be ruled by their former
servants. The people Of the United
States are, however, in honor bound
not to permit a feeling that we want to
annex Cuba to sway the people from
their loyalty to the new republic.
Republican institutions are on trial
In Cuba. The new government started
off with fair promise. It set up a good
constitution, mostly manufactured in
this country. It's finances were in fair
grudgingly, treaty with this country,
which would enable It's principal indus
tries to live.
Nobody in this country outside of
some interested spectators wants the
Cuban government disrupted. Annexa-
tion could scarcely be brought about
without the use of arms and it would
be a miserable spectacle, that OF
Z American troops overturning a republic
which their valor established. It would
be a more grateful task to the soldiers
Of this country, if they had to take a
hand, to act in behalf Of the republic
of Cuba. But America wants, if pos
sible, to keep~o Of the struggle. The
government of Palma ought to be able
to quell the revolt unless the people are
against his rule. If they are it woulc
be as well for him to get out and make
way for a president who has the con
Adence of the country. IT,. d.

River Improvement Convention.

In an official way, Mayor Jones has
emphasized the Importance Of the ap-
preaching river improvement conven-
ton in this city and has extended an
invitation to those interested in river
Improvement. The matter is one which
should have the attention of Mime.
apolis business men and their hearty
support. As the improvements between
Minneapolis and st. Paul approach COM
pletion the significance Of this great
work and the benefit which it is ca]cu-
lated to render to this city are begin
ming to be appreciated locally as they
have not been heretofore.
All thru the Mississippi valley there
Is revival of interest in river i'm
provement, desire that this great
natural waterway with its tributaries
be made to serve the purposes Of COM
merce to which it may be easily
adapted. For four years government
engineers have been surveying the chan
mel between Minneapolis and New Or
leans, measuring it's depth and width,
calculating the resisting force Of the
banks and determining what expendi-
ture will be required in order to create
and maintain channel adequate to
handling heavy freight from the falls
to the gulf. It is estimated by these
engineers that what we would ordinar-
lily spend on three battleships would
build wing dams enough to confne the
flow Of water from st. Paul to New
Orleans 50 as to create a sufficient
depth for economic and satisfactory
handling Of freight. The work between
Minneapolis and St. Paul will extend
that condition to the Washington ave-
nue. bridge in this city. - : ~. - -
New York has undertaken to build a

in Hamburg or Liverpool. Such i'm

GRAIN MARKET
FOR SIOUX CITY
Report Says Powerful Interests
Are Behind Move for Ex-
E
change There.

Special to Tho Journal }.g Il .v.,-
E Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 25.-There is
now little doubt that grain market
will be established in Sioux City in the
near future. One Of the effects Of tho
new market, 1t is believed here, will
be to divert grain shipments from Mir
neapolis.
Most Of the grain territory about
Sioux City is reached by the North
Western and Milwaukee roads. Both
Of these lines, naturally, are interested
in hauling grain to Chicago, as it gives
them the long haul. But, as is we'll
known, the; growth of the Omaha and
Minneapolis markets has. created seri-
GUS competition for Chicago. From
Omaha, the favorable gulf rates have
taken the grain south and from Min
neapolis the route has frequently been
over the lakes. .-..:. 49,. 80. :.
This being the condition, it is but
natural that Sioux, City's wish of long
standing for grain market should re-
ceive hearing by the railroads which
are anxious to carry grain the 500
miles from the Missouri river to Chi
cago. Thus, the creation Of market
at Omaha, depicting the amount Of
grain traffic to Chicago, has, strangely
enough, operated in Sioux City's favor.
With elevators In. Sioux City, the
Milwaukee and st. Paul and North.
Western lines would be able to get the
grain to move on by way Of Chicago,
and for this rsason M la.. you'd
Northern should persist in keeping ths
rate to the twin cities low enough 10
attract grain that way, =. . ~
Grain Acreage.
E. Boyd, traffic manager Of. the Chi
cago Board Of Trade, has furnished
Commissioner A. L. Beardsley Of the
Sioux City Commercial club figures
showing the increase Of acreage. OF
grain during the last ten years, in ter
ritory close to Sioux City. In Nebraska
the increase has been 1,375,83S acres
In South Dakota, 1,519,S24; in North
Dakota, S.572,9s2; in Minnesota, s,752,
&o9i s %asne 81 ETA H. f
creased acreage in Kansas, from which
Omaha and Kansas City draw grain
is 100000. Mr.. Boyd declared that
one,third of the territory having 81
| vast an increase in grain acreage j.
tributary to Sioux City, or could b.
| reached by a market here. More thar
80 per cent Of the railroad mileage |,
South Dakota offers direct connection
with Sioux City. "
| ~: :; 49,. Forces Combine. -r
Showing these facts, the combine,
efforts Of Chicago, Sioux City an
friendly railroads are expected to Sc
cure at an early date the erection o
the first grain elevator In. Sioux Cit,
at a cost Of 100000. That other
will follow quickly is argued from tn
record at Omaha, where eleven hav
sprung up since the Great Wester
made that city real grain center.

To tho Editor Of Tho Journal.
Sitting quietly at the noon hour in my
little district school, thinking over my.
G. A. R. week, it dawned upon me that
our cool, quiet comfort was due in the
first place to the G. A. r. column you
published every day for a week or two
beforehand. I am a Journal subscriber;
the rural free delivery brings it to my
school door daily at II am. One Of my
boys, a lad Of 10, Is our reader. He
scans, notes, and tells the news aloud at
1870 am. You would be surprised to see
how finely he shells the wheat for US!
And, as told our county superintend-
ent the day before l. left for Minneapolis,
G. A. r.. wee3s the columns sofs y 8

Mower County, Mimi, Transcript
Visitors at Minneapolis were astonished
at the many points of interest to be WIS.,
tied and the interesting trips about the
city. Calhoun, Minnehaha, Fort Smelling,
the Soldiers Home, the university, the
parks, avenues and boulevards form feat
ures which many larger cities cannot ex-
Gel. It would be revelation probably
to many Austin people to go to Mime
apolis and spend a day or two sightsee-
ing. It would be as satisfactory as to
travel a thousand miles to some distant

comedians who has ever visited this

For many seasons Chauncey Olcott

Augustus Pitou, Mr.. Olcott g veteran
manager, who wrote many Of the com
