Causes of the Trouble.

A copy of a manifesto issued
by the Cuban negro, just receiv-
ed explains the cause of the
present trouble in Cuba better
than any other document or ar
ticle that has so far been pub.
lished. According to this mani,
festo the cause is the enactment
of q law prohibiting the negroes
from organizing political parties
along racial lines, The reason
for this law is found in the fact
that about 80 per cent of the
Of Cuba is colored," either pure
negro or blood mixture; and that
this so per cent. could easily con-
troll the government of the island
were it permitted to organize
for this purpose. The law is in
tended to secure control of
government to the Spanish ele.
ment of the population, notwith.
standing Cuba is a republic.
The manifesto further clai m;
that it was the negroes of Cuba
who drove the Spanish from tn,
island with the assistance O
American forces; that for thi
service the negroes should b.
entitled to a voice in the govern
ment of the island in proportion
to their numbers and interests

No talents, no circumstances,
no opportunities, will make a
two-legged creature man, with
out energy. The bright boys,
the geniuses, who take first
prizes at school, very often fall
to the rear when they are ex-
posed to the long and weary
competition of real life. They
lack endurance, or they fail in
that energy of purpose which no
native "smartness" will replace.
1t stands to reason that what
may be very brilliant and expert
in a boy is far different when
measured by the standard of
manhood. He who is content
with the trivial triumphs of
school days will have a poor
chance in the rough and tumble
of life, while energy and invinci-
BILE determination will carry
through the worst of ounces on

Up to the Various States.

The two houses composing the
greatest deliherative body in
the world" United States Con-
gress, have concurred in their
views as to the Bristow Constitu-
tional amendment, which puts
the question of the election of
U. S. Senators by popular vote
up to the As states now compos-
ing the nation: the legislatures
of three fourths. or thirty six of
these states must concur in this
amendment, when it will become
a part of the constitution. Fol-
lowing is the proposed amend
ment;-
THE Senate of the United
States shall be composed of two
Senators from each state, elect
ed by the people thereof for ak
years; and each Senator shall
have one vote. The electors in
each State shall have the qualif-
cations requisite for electors of
the most numerous branch of the
State Legislature.
When vacancies happen in the
representation of any State in
the Senate the executive authori-
ty of such State shall issue writs
of election to fill such vacancies.
Provided, that the Legislature of
any State may empower the eX-
exutive thereof to make temper
airy appointments until the peo-
pie fill the vacancies by election
as the Legislature may direct.
This amendment shall not be
so construed as TO effect the
election or term of any Senator
chosen before it becomes valid as
part Of the Constitution"
A constant endeavor should be
made to render every home
cheerful. In every heart there
should reign innocent joy. There
is often discomfort and restless
ness in homes, not for the want
of virtue and prayers, but be.
cause the home lacks sunshine.
Each member has his part in
making or marring the happiness
of hon e, yet we do not think
any one can add to or take from
it's happiness as the mother.
Where the mother is kind, pa
tient and cheerful all the inmates
of that home are apt to be con-
tented and happy.

We had a primary recently, in
which we nominated legislators.
and county and township officers.
One candidate was a lawyer,
who was for Simmons, our pres
ent United States Senator, who
helped boost Lorimer, and who
voted 10 out of 43 votes for
protection" We saw that he
hit the dust. The man who de
feated him was "agin" every
thing his opponent wanted, and
that is about all the platform he
has. We expect nothing of him
except to shoot when we hold
him. A third candidate was for
a whipping post, for giving the
''squires" more power, and MAX
ing every man pay his debts.
He nibbles ginger cakes and
drinks water every time while
his opponents are speaking, then
he arises as one man and an
nounces the three planks of his
platform. He received % votes
out of z063 cast.
We have already three ways of
degrading and furnishing a man
in Cleveland county. One is to
fine or imprison him, a second is
to send him to the Legislature,
and the third is to electrocute
him, but fines, Imprisonment
nor electrocution entail as deep a
stigma of disgrace as going to
the Legislature.
When a self-respecting citizen
is mentioned for the Legislature,
he either enters the ministry or
leaves the state.
