PROCTOR'S KErOKT.
Tho situntion in Cuba as stated to the
cnato by Proctor who has just returned
from that place is fraught with intense
misery Tho report is not tho least ex
oggeratcd. When Senator Proctor
went to Cuba ho went of his own ac
cord. His object was to ascertain as
nearly as possible the exact condition of
affairs there. Ho set out to sco things
m they wore and to learn tho views of
practical men as to tho stato of things
and it may bo remarked of his report
that it is commcndablo in every par-
ticular. Without attempting to arouso public
feeling by sensationalism without bins of
opinion ho sought to stato tho situation
as it appeared to him after having given
the matter thoughtful and deliberate
study. There u something remarkable
about the report. It shows a horriblo
condition of affairs in Cuba Before
Koing to Cuba Mr. Procter had Home
doubts as to tho situation's being eo bad
in Cuba as was generally reported by
newspaper correspondents but after sec
ing the place for himself he feels that
there has been little exaggeration as re-
gards tho misery in Cuban homes
Coming from so reliable authority the
statements are deserving of duo consid-
eration. The deep impression they
inado on the minds of tho senators is
also a good indication 0.1 to their merit.
' m
A GENEROUS RESPONSE.
At this period when hunger is enters
iog 60 many Cuban homes when women
andahildrcn aro dying for want of some-
thing to cat tho appeal for their relief
finds responsive sympathy in tho hearts of
the people of this country. Naturally
enough tho spirit of benovolence charact-
erizes tha American people. They arc
always ready tu listen to tho cries of
the distressed. Though called a busy
people they always find time to offer as-
sistance to tho needy who are deserving.
Timo and again their bcnovolcnco has
been tested by appeals from sufiering
humanity.
Now that the cries of hardship end
dcBpaifcome so Irresistibly ' from Cuba
in consequence of tho condition of help-
less women and children who by reason
of Spanish tyranny have been subjected
to misery untold even to starvation it-
pelf an opportunity is again offered for
charitable work. Tho American people
ore not without sympathy when it conies
to this case. They aro conscious of the
fact that whatever may be dono in the
futnro for tho Cubans by this govern
ment the present needs in Cuba are of
eucb. a character as to merit attention
and sympathy. The large contributions
from Kansas and Missouri as well as
from other portions of tho country are
illustrative of tho liberality that figures
eo eagerly in American personality.
There is an old maxim thafa "A friend
in need is a friend indeed' and this
maxim may bo aptly applied to the
friendship as shown in theso liberal
contributions- It portrays a noble trait
of eharactcr tho disposition of tho
people of this commonwealth to help
tho suffering families of Cuba. It typ
ically convoys the signification of real
American benovolence.
In speaking of the eharacter of Consul
General Lee tho Boston Herald remarks;
The piesumption is that Consul Gen-
eral Leo is now a very popular man in
the United States. Ho is a Democrat
but so successful had he been in the
highly important office ho held when
tho present administration came into
power that ho was made a spared mon-
ument among innumerable sacrifices!
Now Spain has given him an added
claim upon the favor of the people of
tho United States by its certificate of his
fidelity to their desires in his office;
As politics used to be this would have
put him in tho way to bo a Candidate
for tho presidency. Wo have got some-
what over tho disposition to elect mili-
tary men to that office uod it would be
something of a strain upon tho peoplo of
tho wholo country to ask them to vote
for a man who had been a rjbel general.
Still there is probably no living rebel
general in so good a position to remove
reluctance to support him as is General
Lee who has done so much to condone
that offense. It might not be altogether
unsafe to nominate him for vice presi-
dent lie was a candidate for United
States senator from Virginia when the
present Senator Martin wis clectrd
there. Tho latter' term expires in two
years and tho next legislature of his
Hate will be called upon to choosa his
mccesssr. General Leo is said to bo a
poor men and to need tho income de-
rived from a public office.
It was reported that tho President
wanted an early adjournment of congress
but the statement is said to bo wholly
unfounded. So long as matters remain
as they aro it is not tho desire of cither
tho President or congress that thcro
should be an early adjournment
Tho Msiuo court of iuquiry up tn the
120th inst. had not yet been reported.
It was thought in official circles that the
report would be mado known tbi week.
There h a probability that the President
has already had a synopsis of tho find-
ings. According to the information at
hand in Washington in respect to tho
report there seems to be little reason
for thinking tho report will show grounds
for indemnity from Spaid.
Within tho past week a heavy frost
is reported to havo injured to a con-
siderable extent the fruit in thn valleys
of California. The ftcst was one of the
severest ever known at this timo of the
year. Tho loss to the apricot and peach
crops in tho Sacramento valley will
amount to a half a million dollars. In
addition to losses by frost throughout
the state the indications at present arc
that insects are going to do considerable
damage to fruits in that state this spring.
A special telegram from Topeka to
tho Kansas City Journal says: "The
Kansas live stock sanitary commission
has taken steps to prevent tho shipment
of 10.000 Tcxar rattle owned by Kan.
sas cattlemen into this itato until an-
other inspection is mado by the Texas
department. These cattle aro graziog
in four counties which border on the
quarantine lino on tho north. Some
ticks havo been found on them. The
Kansas commission warned tho owners
that although tho cattle were this side
of tho line it would not permit their re-
moval as long as they aro ticky. The
Texas commission has joined tho Kansas
commission in the matter and a
rigid inspestion is to bo made between
now and April 1. If ticks aro discov-
ered and the owners insist on shipping
tho cattle the Kansas commission pro-
poses to change the quarantine line so
as to throw the counties where the
cattle aro now grazing below it."
At present the indications are that
mauy cattlemen in California will meet
with heavy losses on their cattle unless
a modification of tho present quarantine
regulation is made A dispatch from
San Franbisco says:
"Over 100.000 head of cattlo will
starve to death in California this year
unless tho government can be persuaded
to speedily modify the quaranlite lines
against tho splenetic fever. Nevada
stockmen aro desirous of purchasing in
California and California stockmen arc
anxious to sell or send their horses
and stock to Nevada but nothing
can be done owing to the quaran-
tine regulations against a disease whioh
docs not exist in California which pre-
vents tho transportation of tho animals
to tho North or to neighboring states on
the cast.
Senator Stewart of Nevada and Gov-
ernor Budd of California have both
taken the matter up and a representa-
tive of the cattlemen has been sent to
Washington to endeavor to have the
quarantine lines moved further south
Tho attention of tho officials of the
agricultural department has already been
called by cattlemen and by an official of
tho secretary of state's office of Califor-
nia to the condition of the cattlo south
of tho quarantine line and the latter
asked if something could not be done by
th 3 department in modifying the quaran-
tine line to prevent their starvation.
An official of the department said!
"The cattlet referred to can be sent to
any placo south of the quarantine line
or they ean bo shipped into the north-
part of California if the officials will
guarantee that they be properly quaran-
tined. "For that matter they also can ba
sent into Nevada if the stato officials
there will undertake tho work of quaran-
tining them. The quarantine lino as it
now exists was adopted on February 15
and south of it infection exists. To
permit the transit of the animals above
this line would be to endanger the cattle
industry in the remainder of the (.late
and besides in any other stato to which
they might be transported. Our ad-
vices are that there recently havo been
good rains in that part of tho state south
Of the line and the grass is growing nice-
ly which will gtvtf su3tenanco for the
cattle1. The kHitilMS looks to me liko a
speculative one and that a number of
cattlemen ro anxious to dispose of their
stock'
Brother John He Paid the Freight !
Tho following letter was picked up in tho streets nt Koglewood. It looks like tho best thing for Mr. Leo to do
would be to exchange his "ritin tuasheen" for one thai can spell a littlo moro correctly. Kd

WAR WITH SPAIN.
Fifty Millions Appropriated by Congress. The Outlook
Serious. Volunteers Needed.
IN THE EVEN1? war should bo declared how many ppople aro ready to volunteer? While tho guh and bayonet
are indispensable weapons they aro not the only things needed to carry on a successful warfare. Peoplo will need horses
and saddles wogons plenty of provisions) such as meat coffee beans sugar canned goods and sucli like. Whether or
not the Maine was blown up by direction and authority of tho Spanish government or by sorcb crazy miscreant will
develop later; but in either case 'tis well to bo ready for any emrrgeney. We should at UUi begin to inqdiro where and
how to obtain such things as aro necessary. For the information of the publie let it be known that
Bacon may be had for 7 cents per pound. Beans S3 pounds for - $1.00.
Raisins 25 pounds for - $1.00 Arbuckle Coffee 9 lbs. for 1.00

Bain Wagon $64.00. Capital Wagon $64.00. Newton Wagon $6o.od.

If you mean business and want to enlist to protect Afnorican houor then figure 5 per cent off these prices and tako
it because BROTHER JOHN HE PAID THE FREIGHT.
Alt those who are not mad enough to fight and had rather stay at home
to plow and raise feed for the cattle bear itt mind that you can get-
Olivcr Chilled Plows 12 in. for 810.00
" " " 14 in. for 12.00
" Steel Sulky " 1G in. for 35.00
Steel Walking Plows U in. for 13.00
Listers - - 14 in. for 24 00
Are these prices too high? All right then; rather than have hard feelings
deduct 10 per bent for cash because Brother John he paid the freight.
Hut we are a little off tbo-vibject Wo started out with a war talk not war prices and returning to tho subject
let us suggest that if you don't go to tho war then get married and buy chairs bureaus- bedstead tables mattresses
bed springs sewing machines cook stoves dishes tinware cooking utensils &c while Brother Johu he's iu the notion
to pay tho freight.
