Thursday Morning. Oct. 10, 1895 WHY HOT? The policy of this Government has been from the beginning to encour age the Republican sentiment in this hemisphere, and public sympathy was always quick to express itself for the people of any country that struck for self government. As one of the results of this, every country in this hemisphere is now under a Government Republican in formex cept Canada, which, however, enjoys home rule, and a few foreign posses sions at the extreme South. The last monarchy disappeared with the dethroning of Dom Pedro, of Brazil, who by the way was one of the most democratic of rulers, who ruled over an Empire which was in fact more of a Republic than an Empire. But it was called a monarchy and that was a sufficient reason why the people of this country sympathized with those who rose up against it, and why this Government was among the first to recognize the Republic established on the ruins of the mon archy, as it has been among the first to recognize the j Republics in every other country where the spirit of freedom and desire for self-govern ment have asserted themselves. There is within a few hours sail of our shores an island over which the Kingdom of Spain claims -dominion. It claims dominion simply for the revenue it can force out of the peo ple. As for giving it good govern ment or so ruling as to better the condition of the people, or to pro mote their prosperity in a ny way, this never occurred to the Spanish lawmakers, who have looked upon Cuba as a fitiSubject for spoliation, a sponge to bef squeezed, whose peo ple had no right to protest against the plundering or to intimate that they didn't like the squeezing. This has been a blundering, heartless pol icy in which stupidity and barbarity struggle for pre-eminence, but it is characteristic of the Spaniards, who retain all the pride and domineering spirit of the days when they were a power in the world Without any of the dash or heroism. " Once masters of all the territory South of us they have lost it all bv their ineanarirw r- 1 itO rule and 1 hold Doseessiorr Tr, Queen of the Antilles is all that re mains to them and this they would have lost long ago if it hadn't been for the indirect as sistance this Government has given them in holding possession of it. With all that it has cost them hun dreds of millions of trea sure and thousands on thousands of lives to retain their grip on that island, whose people for a hundred years have never been willing subjects and who have many times endeav ored to throw off the Spanish yoke. They have in every attempt had the good will of the American peo ple, and in every attempt have been at least indirectly antagonized by the American Government, which 4elt bound by its construction of its duty in the premises to close its ears to the cry for recognition and its eyes to the blood that flowed so freely, the blood of patriots, -and to the barbarities perpetrated by the heartless, blood-thirsty soldiers who murdered for pay, as they are doing now. , Cuba naturally belongs ,to this country. It is substantially as much a part of it as Florida. Its people have always wanted to come to,us; we have felt that they onght to be with us. We have tried to buy the island and once offered $100,000,000 for it, which Spain rejected as uncer emoniously as if the offer was an in timation ot poverty and an insult. She has spent three times as much in holding forcible possession - of the island, and then levied tribute upon the people to indemnify herself for the money she ; spent to keep them enslaved. - How long is this drama of blood and fire and rapine to go on right at our doors and we take no action? How many times must these people struggle to be free before'" thejr re ceive the recognition they are en titled to? How long mast the right be conceded to the foreign power to shoot them down and murder them in cold blood when captured be cause they assert the right to pro tect themselves from oppression, the same right which our fathers asserted 119 years ago, which gave us inde pendence 'and them immortality? What must a struggling people do, what achieve to entitle them to re cognition as belligerents? For nearly two years actual war fare has been waged in Cuba; pa triotic armies have been put into the field; they have met the soldiers sent to whip them into submission and have frequently whipped these soldiers. Altogether over 50,000 troops have been landed on the island, and yet the "insurgents," as they are called, are as bold and de fiant as ever, and notwithstanding that they have received the recogni tion of no government, and have consequently been compelled to secure their supplies of arms and munitions of war surreptitiously, they have not only held their own, but the cause has grown until the spirit of resistance and the determi nation to be free have spread over the whole island. They have established a orovlsional cnvernment. and are about to proclaim a declaration of independence. These heroic fighters for self- government have won the. right to be recognized as belligerents, and in keeping with the traditional policy of this Government it should be the first to grant that recognition. That will mean independence for Cuba in a little while, another republic almost in sight of Florida, and ultimately another star added to the 46 on the American flag. Such recognition, and that promptly, this Government not only owes to the gallant Cubans, but to itself. . MIS OR MBHTI0H. There has been aj good deal said and written about bad farming methods in the South, and there wis good reason for all that has been said and written, but bad farming methods are not peculiar to : the South. They are found also in the West and to them may be attributed much of the agricultural depression in that section. As so many of the farmers of the South, under the old iuemoas, ran m tne all cotton, one crop rut, so many of the farmers of the West putting their main depend- cuw upon wneai iouowea that up year after year, until they wore the lands out and so. exhausted them that land which originally produced from forty to sixty bushels per acre could not yield more than ten or five. it was simply land butchery. They found land that yielded abundantly without assistance and laboring under the delusion that it would never need assistance worked It to death, and worked themselves in the direction of the poor house at the same time. Necessity forced a change. In some sections these impoverished, mortgage-oppressed wheat-growers aban doned wheat, went to raising corn and hogs, grass and cattle and estab lishing dairies, and from that time their fortunes began to improve and they are now among the most pros perous and independent people in those parts. Their lands have risen in value, immigration is coming in to them, the population is increasing, there is no more emigration, the have ceased making mortgages, an are wondering why in the world I they were so Ion? in discovering -what " 0 ; - was the matter. - President Cleveland has done well to decline the tender of military escorts on his visit to the Atlanta Exposition. The presumption is that these tenders were made as a mark of respect to the President of the United States, the highest office in the gift of man, but this is not a military Government but a Govern ment of the people, as far removed from the military idea as it was pos sible to make it. The' soldier is a necessary part of the Government, and sometimes a heroic part, but the tendency has for some years been to drift too much that way and to give undue prominence to the' sword and bayonet Nearly all our public de monstrations of a State character are turned into military pageants, "and presidents or Governors can scarcely move in their official capacities with out the presence or tender of mili tary escorts, which in the eyes of the masses look more like body guards than escorts of honor. We are just democratic enough to believe that the President of the United States ought to travel, whether in his official capacity or as a private citizen, with as little ostentation and display as any other citizen, and hence we cor dially commend the democratic spirit and utterance in President Cleve land's letter declining the escort ten dered him by th? Hartford Com pany. ' w a: " The journey of the Liberty Bell .'"""uciuu to Atlanta was a triumphant one along the entire route after it crossed the Potomac, which culminated in a most enthu siastic reception by the many thou sands ot people who greeted its" ar rival at Atlanta. Ot course it was not the bell, a mere thing of metal which inspired all this patriotic en thusiasm, bat the event of which that bell was the loud-ton gued heralder 119 years ago, an event which was the-prelude to the up building of the greatest Republic the world has ever seeD,and one which has exercised more' Influence in shaping the destinies of the world than any other one action of men since the dawn of creation. The bell was honored hot for what it is but for what it represents, a reminder of the heroism of our fathers who en mindful.of the danger or the conse quences to them, bound together by the commen love of liberty, rallied at the call of that bell to maintain that Declaration of Independence, not as Northerners, not as South- erners, but as Americans, and so not as Southerners, not as Northerners, but as Americans it is welcomed and honored now wherever it goes by the sons and daughters , of the Americans of that day and the millions of others who have become sons or daughters Dy or tnrougn adoption.

Corwin in Chicago Inter Ocean HABITS OF.THE CITY PIGEON. - He Soon Drops Country Ways and Get t '" f, Be a Bird of the World. - The city pigeon affords an Illustration of the radical change which artificial sur roundings produce in animals and birds. Naturally one of the shyest of birds, the pigeon, after a short experience of urban life, becomos as thoroughly at home as the sparrow. Bat while sociable and confid ing, the pigeon is never obtrusive or impu dent, as his little British cousin is. Pigeons settle down on the busiest streets and gather up the food which is scattered about in abundance with a quick, energetic mo tion of the head, as undisturbed by the clatter of the forest of horses' legs about them as if they were in the primeval groves of their ancestors. Horses in getting at the bottom of their noonday nosebags spill a great deal of the grain, and the gutters are favorite resorts lor tne birds. On this aocount the proposition which has been ventured on several occasions of abolishing the practice of making a kind of equine lunch counter of the space around the city and county building would not be popular in pigeondom,, particularly that part of pigeondom which has its headquar ters on the roof of that imposing structure. This has through many administrations been a favorite breeding place for the birds, and they literally swarm there. They may be seen all day long fluttering among the capitals of the pillars or perching on the head of Demosthenes or some other of the stone notables over the entrances. Occa sionally in the summer time one of them flies through an open window into one of the offices, and on one occasion one of them interrupted the proceedings tn a dry case of Taw by fluttering into one of the court rooms. In the winter time the big warm chim neys afford a comfortable shelter from the winds, and the sparrows resort there a good deal also. A good many people in the outskirts of town and in the suburbs have pigeon boxes in their barns, but most of the pigeons down town have nests around the big elevators. They get fat from the leakage of the grain cars along the tracks and are seldom molested by anything more formidable than the small boy.with his "nigger shooter," as the elevators are kept as nearly ratproof as possible. Chicago Tribune. Tar Products. In his new process of obtaining products' from tar, Stringfellow of London claims to insure the best results in a strikingly simpiinea manner. Tile tar, say one ton, to be treated is put into a suitable vessel. and about 1 per cent of an alkali or other saponifying agent is then added, and the compound well mixed with a ton of water. Before the water has time to separate from the tar about one-fifth of a ton of petro leum oil of 0.820 specific gravity is added and slowly stirred into the tarry mixture until the free oil becomes of a reddish col or, it will then be found that the com pound has been separated into three pdrts namely, a red, oily extract of light grav ity, not inixable in water; a substance of soft unctuous pitch, containing some water and resembling Stockholm pitch In appear ance and general characteristics, and a dis colored watery liquor. While the separat ing action is progressing the light, oily ex tract and the water can be drawn off, so as to promote the exudation from the Ditch which remains in the vessel. A Forgotten Corner of the East. 'An opening into one of the few re maining lands of mystery has been made by the recent visit to the Af ghan boundary commission of two Kaffirs from the country of Sia-posh. This singular people, inhabiting the wild mountain tracts between Kash mir and Cabul, cannot be confident ly traced to any exact origin. The name "Kaffir," given by their Mos lem neighbors, only indicates that they are. not Mohammedans. Their other generic appellation, Sia-poshf naa reference to their clothing. Their actual origin and race character re main unknown. Their total number is vaguely estimated at 200000, bro ken up into independent and often antagonistic tribes or clans. Fair and blue eyed, using chairs. drinking wine and saluting by shak ing hands, they are fond of dancing and refresh themselves with home brewed wine. Here are some of the elements surely of European civiliza tion in this forgotten corner of tho east, and it is to bo added that the Kaffirs use a language in which both roots and inflections have often re minded inquirers of Greek. On such grounds a theory has been advanced that they may be descend ed from Macedonian stragglers left behind in the march of Alexander the Great from Babylon to the banks of the Sutlej. What is certain is that they have for ages defended the passes to their little Switzerland with rude weapons, but indomitable resolution; The country is about equal in size to the Grisons and the Valais togethefr and is believed to contain a quantity of high and bold Alpine scenery. London World. Tiger Hunting. The season for tiger hunting be gins m April and lasts until the monsoon. During this time it is in tensely hot. Water courses fail, springs go dry, pools evaporate. Then wild beasts of all kinds leave those remoter tracts to which they retire at other seasons and gather about drinking places in foothills and jungly lowlands.. In beating for a tiger the start is never made early in the day. This creature, whoso structure forms an nnequaled mechanism for offense, possesses little endurance in the heat of the sun, supports thirst very bacV! ly-and soon breaks down from scorch ed feet if harried by day. Therefore when the lair is found sportsmen wait until the sun rises before going oat. - Their hunt is almost certain to be among those ravines where the tiger always lies np, and not usually un til the last extremity will he break out into the burning plains. Still tigers are not organio machines, made to act by instinct in an invari able manner. Some will assault at sight, others skulk and dodge in nalas for a long period before the beaters and will not attack until wounded. No human being who has not seen tigers fight can oonceive what their charge is like. Outing. The Flint river, in Michigan. was callMl by the Indians Perwonigo, "the river of. tne nint," from the abundance of this Btone on its banks.

KANSAS CITY GHOSTS FAMOUS SPOOKS OF THE TOWN ON THE BIG MUDDY. ' fThe Original Ghost la From a Case of - Fratricide How ' the Santa Fe Spook Was Laid How a Man With the "Jim Jams" Stirred Up a Jail Fall of Criminals. It may be true that conscience makes cowards of us allt bnfc with the ignorant Und superstitious conscience is not a cir cumstance, when compared to a vivid ion. The greatest coward on is the person who sees in every dark shadow, in each deserted house and around every dismal building the rest less spirit of some departed sinner whose crimes will not allow him to enter 'heaven, who is doomed to wander aron- 1 'this earth until Gabriel's trumpet is 'sounded, who must hover near the scene 'of his former misdeeds until the last day. . 1 The place by popular consent most adapted to ghost wanderings and the place most fruitful in the production of the bona fide article is naturally the 'graveyard. The drearier, gloomier and pore mournful tho aspect of the grave yard the more ghosts. But the real be liever in spooks and spirits does not Heem it necessary to go among the tombs land graves of the dead to find a spirit , Ghosts are numerous. They can be jfound in all sections of the country. There is not a village nor a deserted inn try house nor a railroad bridge but its ghost. But the ghosts are not all ed to the country by any meana. ere have been 6everal in Kansas City ,t have gained extensive notoriety on t . of their many visitations. jand the parts of the city in which they jare wont to disport themselves are still eyed with suspicion and looked upon askance by the inhabitants of Belvidere Hollow, Hick's Hollow and other por tions of the city thickly settled by the descendants of Ham. The oldest, the original ghost that is Jmost vividly in the memory of tho su perstitious and is most often the topic of grewsome whispers among the people mentioned, walked the" levee between Main street and Broadway 12 years ago.. One winter's night, the story goes, a man was lying in wait for an enemy on the levee In his hand he clutched ponderous double barreled shotgun loaded with nails and slugs. He saw a man walking down the levee. In the dim, nickering light he thought he rec ognized his enemy. He raised his gun, fired and hurried away. The next day he read in the papers that his brother's body had been found on the levee, hor jribly mangled and torn. The murderer winced, but kept his secret. Then the .dead brother's ghost began to walk. Ev jery night, at tho same hour of the shooting, it could be seen on the levee. tEach time it would walk straight to tho spot where tho body had fallen. Then the ghost would fall, go through a death struggle and disappear. It kept this up for years, and tbere are those who say it 'does it stilL The second healthy, well developed ghost disported itself in the ruins of the old Santa Fe Stage Coach company's of fice at Second and Main streets in 1886. So generally known did it become that often large crowds would congregate and await the appearance of the nocturnal .visitor. Early one evening a young man who wished to investigate a little went into the ruins. When he emersred from them an hour later, he found a large crowd standing on the opposite side of the street, near the jail, watching for ghosts. Some one in the crowd, thinking !that the young man had been playing ghost, threw a brick at the investigator, striking him on the head. Ho fell sense less with a gaping wound in his head. The Santa Fe ghost has not been seen since In 1887 there was a story afloat that at 12 o'clock each night a ghostly cable train glided down the incline between ;Walnut and Main streets and disappear ed into space. In tho grip car, guiding the train, was the ghost of a gripman wno nad cued a short time before, after having been insane for some time, the result of grief over the fact that his train had run down and killed a pedestrian. Crowds congregated at the junction aiightly to see the strange sight For the Jmost part they went away disappointed, although there was plenty who declared they had seen "it " , Another 6tory, in which a ghost was neverseen, but which smacked strongly jof spooks, was the Conway murder on East Eighteenth street, between Oak and Locust, in 1885. Mrs. Conway, a young Woman, and her little girl were beaten to death with a coupling pin. The mur derer or murderers were never caught Suspicion pointedUtoward two men, but there was no evidence Both of them afterward died horrible deaths one of the glanders and the other of cancer. The ghost of the victims never walked openly, but that section of the city was given a wide berth by the true believ- bra for many months afterward. j- Last, but not least, were the ghosts of .dark and Jones, the men hung for mur dering Mm a Wright in 1898. These ghosts materialized in the jails, one at dependence and one in Kansas' City. te scare lasted for some weeks, and le negro prisoners were thrown into a itate of terror by any strange sounds. OnA Tl 1 (rVl f". txrlian ll o -foil vraa in a efafA Jof comparative quiet, a drunken pris oner, who had just been brought in, had an attack of " jimjams. ' By some strange coincidence he was placed in the cell once occupied by Clark, and the prisoners soon located the groaning of ,the unfortunate man. The negroes, not knowing that the cell vas occupied, sup posed that the noise was made by a d& parted spirit, and all started to howling with the "ghost " The effect was some thing that' can be imagined better than it can be described. Since the Clark ghost left the jail Kansas City has been bereft of spirits, and Belvidere Hollow is breathing more easily than it has for years. Kansas City Times. BaclUen'a Arnica Salve. .

Dogs, which are at once the drowsiest and most wakeful of -domestic animals, according to their state of mind and cir cumstances, seem to sleep lightly or heav ily at will. Nothing can be more slow, re luctant and leisurely than the enforced waking of a petted dog when it does not Msh to be disturbed. It will remain deaf o a cat, twitch its feet if tickled, but not unclose its eyes, and finally stretch and yawn like a sleepy child. But mention something -interesting to the same dog wnen sleeping, sucn as tne word '.'walk," or click the lock of a gun, and it is on its feet in an instant and ready for enter prise. London Spectator. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, I1U was told by her doctors she had Consumption, and that there was no hope for fcer, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her, and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Fran cisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, ap proaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the won derful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds. . Free trial bottles at R. R. Bellamy's Drug Store.
