Ex-Senator David B. Hill of New

Regardless of the distinct declara
tion of congress in 1898, there is a
reyublican purpose to cause the an
nexation of Cuba to the United
States, or to arrange for a practical
protectorate. In honor and justice
-this cannot be done, but when re

which they reside. The republicans
will not permit such a provision

Since January 1st more than $300,-

pensions to Confrderate veterans and
widows. The .total appropriation for
this purpose amounts to $690,000.
Provision will be made by the
North Carolina legislature for in

It is reported from Washington
that the Cuban constitution will not
be acceptable to the U. S. adminis
tration i unless provision is made for
American supervision—practically a
protectorate*
Additional troops to the number
of 20,000 will be sent to the Philip

A contest is in progress in the
Cuban constitutional convention over
a provision that would make Gen,
Maximo Gomez eligible to the presi
dency of the republic. He is a na
tive of San Domingo.
they are not
means of securing it. Concerning
the attitude of republicans toward
the constitution now being made,
our Washington correspondent says:
“The Cuban constitution is ex
pected to reach here about the mid
dle of the month, some six months
earlier than the administration ei
ther expected or desired it. What
is to be done with it? The republi
cans are divided into two camps on
the subject, one of them holding
that the United States has no right
whatever to interfere with the Cu
bans in any way, and that the presi
dent ought simply to accept the
constitution and set the island free
without any reference to congress.
For this they urge the resolution
passed by congress on April 20th,
1898, when the war was began.
This resolution says: ‘That the
United States hereby disclaims any
disposition or intention to exercise
sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over said island, except for the paci
fication thereof, and asserts its de
termination, when that is accom
plished, to leave the government and
control of the island to its people.’
Clearly this seems to estop the
United States from all interference
in the matter^ Another section, in
cluding the friends of the subsidy
bill, maintains that congress has the
right to supervise the constitution
and to insist on the recognition of
this country’s part in freeing the isl
and. These want military and naval
stations and the right to supervise
the foreign relations and debt incur
ring powers of the island govern
ment. They insist that there is no
time at this session to deal with the
subject, and that an extra one must
be held for the purpose.”

A clear profit of $1,000 was real
ized by two Terrell county farmers
on a recent shipment of hogs from
Dawson to Atlanta. Good evidence
that cotton is not the only money
crop of Georgia farmers.
The Kansas woman who has been
smashing saloons in Topeka and oth
er cities in that state, is somewhat
comparable to the United States at
this juncture—each is a compara-
.tively old Nation in a new role.
The increase of the United States
rarmy under the law just enacted by
congress calls for the appointment of
-about 1,800 new officers. Papment
for republican political service may
•vbe fitted in nicely with these ap
pointments.
Many of the southern cotton mills
are preparing to manufacture the
finer grades of goods. This is an j
indication that in all lines of indus
try southern people will be satisfied
in producing only the best. On this
line success will be commanded.
David B. Hill of New York and
Hoke Smith of Georgia for presi

that the better man of the two is
named for the secondary position.

Excessive cigarette smoking was
rfche cause,for a,recent application for
divorce in Wisconsin. The complaint
of the wife was that the husband
had become unfitted for labor, or
business because of his incessant
cigarette smoking. She alleged cru
elty, inhuman, treatment and failure
to support, and the divorce was
granted.
Merit Commands Success.
The desire and determination to
excel are necessary elerhents of suc
cess. Having used these elements
wisely, W. Atlee Burpee of Philadel
phia has attained eminent success
as a grower of the best and most
attractive flowers, garden and farm
seeds. With 25 years of successful
experience, he has gained front rank
as a trustworthy seedsman whose
offerings are pure, true to name and
sure to grow.
His Quarter-Century Farm An
nual embraces valuable information
in connection with the most beauti
ful flowers, the best vegetables for
garden and farm. Its attractive il
lustrations enable the purchaser of
seeds to know exactly what to or
der, and Mr. Burpee will fill the bill
exactly. In this annual the true
judgment of successful experience is
presented, embracing all the old
seeds that are best and many new
ones that are superior. Send for
this annual, it is true, very pretty
and decidedly good.
A young bridegroom staggering
drunk with joy is the latest sensa
tion sprung upon an unsuspecting
public by the Atlanta Constitution.
The story is that a young couple
were married in Atlanta last Satur
day, and a short while later the
bridegroom was arrested while walk
ing along the street with his bride.
He was staggering and incoherent,
and was locked up on the charge of
drunkenness. In recorder’s court he
declared he had not imbibed at all
of any intoxicating liquor, but was
drunk with joy. He was released.
Verily, Atlanta is the hot-bed of
startling incidents, and the Consti
tution a tip-top promoter on that
line.
Several snow storms, with bliz
zard accompaniment, prevailed in
northwestern states last Sunday. In
Kansas and Nebraska the snow was
18 inches deep on the level, and six
feet in drifts.
