The story of their •offerings and deprivation i» tven more aool-otirring than the annals of \ alley Forge. The Cubans; by their devotion to tile iiin-e of Libertj, haye won the right to freed one But the United States Govern ment looks stolidly on and never raises its voice even in the name of humanity. The Cut an insurgents should long ago have beer i-cegnised a* belligerents. Had France failed to recognise us as such dur ing car revolutionery struggle we might ■uil) be under the yoke of Britain. Bat Spain, cruel, blood thirsty, semi-bu barous Spain, can starve or chop to pieces the C' l ban patriots, and the United States !» as silent an tbe grave. Spain recognized the confederates aa belligerents within forty dsy after Bull Run, a battle not uiorc bloody or desisive than many that have b" n fought by the Cibans against their oppressor.

Why Gold Goes Out. Theie is no mystery whatever about the heavy shipments of gold to Europe, the Oouliuaed depletion of tbe Treasury reserve and the consequent necessity of another bond issue, witt a heavy addition to the national debt. The shameful inadequacy of tt)e Democratic tariff is the primary oause ot" the whole difficulty. Tbe total exports of American products lrom Jan. 1, 1805, 10 Sept. 13 were C 21,514,603 less they were for the corresponding period of last year. The total Imports of foreign products fwin Jan. I, to Sept. 15 was $61,- #29,800 more than they were for the same month* ot 1894. Tbe direct loss to this country in the shrinkage of its sales abroad and in tbe increase of tbe amount it has paid for foieign goods in the past eight and a half is more than $83,000,- 000. Of course, tinier a tariff which cuts down our sales bhroad and swells our purchases abroml at tbe combined rate of ten millions a month, we must ship great quantities of gold to Burope. Kuropesn merchants and demsnd bard cash for their prMucU. If we boy of them under the iiCJiocratic tariff, instead of buying of our own countrymen, as we did under the Mc- Kialey law, we recessarily set in operation an flriin of gold from these shores. This fsot has been repeatedly pointed out by protectionists. Free traders have sneer iugiy declared that it was not a fact but a fallacy, since aader a lower tariff we were certain lo increase our exports until we had conquered 'the markets of the world.' We have tbe lower tariff, but we are sell ing f*r '.4ss of our products abroad than we did under Republican protection. In 'jther W'ads, we are robbing ourselves, in juring our own manufacturers and empty our National Treasury in order to benefit Europe. Political Notes. Tho Syracuse, New York, convention open"? with prayer. "It was the fi'st tirrs in years," says an old attendant, that prayer was said in a Democratic state con' yentiou. As a sign of awakening to the WifkeJi.iss of the party all good citizens will commend the manifestation. Tbe expressions of some of tbe Republi oau newspapers in tbe Huntingdon-Mifllin judicial district indioate that thero will be two Republican candidates foru Jdge there, bith Judge Williamson, of Huntingdon, and H. J. CulberUon, of Mifflin, running. Such a result, if tbat is what it is to be, mist be charged to tbe oonferree system under which it is a good deal easier not to taiko a nomination than it is to make one The conference has already had a meeting aud taken some seventy ballots, each can didate receiving three votes. Not with, standing the fact that there are 4,000 Re publican votes in Huntingdon county and ojly 2200 in' Uiiiiin, the latter county las Just as much 10 nay in making the nomi natiou <.d the former. Under such a sys tem as that in use 2200 Republicsns have as muob weight as 4000, and on account of il ohoinc is likely to resolt and there •*ill be tr-o candidates w htro there is only room tor one.

SAXON BURG SAYINGS. Dr. J. \V. McKee and Miss Mary Mc- Kee were in Cooperstown last week. The dance given by the Ball Club, last Thursday was a successful one in point of pleasure, though uot so satisfactory financially. Mrs. Theo Helmbold & Son are put ting new gutters in front of their stores This will prove a great improvement and should be done by other property owners of the town. Chas Pfeiffer. Jr. and Geo Wilson were visitors to Saxonburg last Thursday, leaving for Allegheny next day. Flick was well represented at the ball game and dance. The Misses Laube of Freeport have been visiting Theo Krause's family. At all future dances held in Saxonburg the Coustable will be asked to deputize some one to preserve order, the dances are oftimes spoiled by a few ruffians who persist in using foul language and insist upon having a row. This must be stop ped, an example made of some of these ruffians ought to have a good effect. While the water works scheme is still being agitated, the idea of purchasing one of the Chemical Engines recently exhibited here seems to meet with the approval of the majority of our citizens and an effort is being made to raise, by subscription, the necessary amount to make tne purchase. Don't forget to have your taxes paid by Oct. sth, thus insuring your right to vote at the coming election. Jim Bauman had a finger crushed while turning a cider press.

The particular disadvantage of having a smooth face'was demonstrated in a cer tain hotel in Butler Tuesday. A certain man from Saxonburg who has sjone through 30 Springs and Summeni.and he alone knows how many hard Falls and Winters, was asked his age by the gentle man behind the counter. In view of the gentleman from Saxonburg being over 30 years of age and being taken for a minor shows what advantages are attach ed to wearing a mustache or beard E. R. Kennington paid a visit to Evans City last Tuesday and Wednesday. A closely contested game of base ba'l between the Saxonburg and Fulton clubs occurred Thursday. The Fultons had Simson, a professional, as their pitcher and the wav the Saxonburgers hammer ed his curves was a caution. Harry Fair was the recevingend, aud his work was way above par. For the Saxonburg nine, Helmbo'd and Schroth acted as the battery and barring a,little witdness in the 3d and 4th innings on the part of Helmbold, their work was of the git edge order. The batting of Butch and Ormany were the features of the game. We understand that Harry Fair is still not satisfied and intends bringing a nine of professionals to our town. This is just what our boys would like. So Harry trot out your strongest aggrega tion, and we will trounce them. The score was 18 to 9 in favor of Saxonburg. C. J. Raabe and son Herbert arrived in Saxonburg last Saturday, 011 a few days visit to relatives. Christ says, Saxonburg is the place after all. Prof. E. H.

Mr. Theo Krause was a visitor to tli e county seat last Thursday. Freeport sent a large delegation to the Base Ball Dance. It is against the law for any one to carry concealed deadly weajions, in ad dition to this it is dangerous, aud apt to lead to trouble. Some of our young men had I letter take a timely warning. That was a dandy home run of Butch Stuebgen's, "come again." Mrs. Henry Horn was called to Taren turn, on account of her mothers sickness Mr. and Mrs Theo. Laube are visiting Mr. and Mrs L. A. Helmbold. The Base Ball club gave a very enjoy able Dance at the Opera House, last Thursday evening. While not a howl ing success financially, in every other respect it was all that could be desired, Prof. Knoch's Orchestra furnished the music. The order of the World will give a Dance about the middle of October. If you need lied clothing go to Ilelm bo'd's store and inspect the woolen b'ank ets on sale at $2.50 per pair. The price is so low that every one can afford a pair. The ball boys are improving. This is shown by their work in the Jast game p'ayed. ' They are playing a great game. HARRISVILLE HITS.

The persons reported on the sick lis', j from this place are all in a fair way to I health, except Mrs. James Sutton, who is | at present, very low with bat little hope ; cf recovery. Oar mechanics are all very baj-y at pres eat, getting under cover the buildings on which they nave been working, the weather being :avorable for outside work, but at this i-eason ot the year there is no assur ance of how long it will last. This is a busy Peajon for ihe farmer, with ihreshine, setdiug, catting of corn. | lifting potatoes, and general fall work at b.iine, and but few of them a*e seen in town, and those who have to come make ; shor* stops. The county convention of the W. C. T. U. was held at this place OL Thursday and , Fiiday, September 06, 27 Son e sixty or seventy delegates !rom the various uuions in the oountj being present. Tbe writer WHS not present at all the sessions of tile convention therelore will not attempt to 1 make a r. port of the work done by the con- j vention. I had the pleasure of attending ; the Thursday afternoon and evening, and j Fiid»y evening sessious T'le meeting! Thursday afternoon was a business meet- j ing, many think that women assembled in 1 a body could not transact business, but if they nad been present at this meeting ttey j would have seen that they understood the | buidr.es? before them and disposed of it in j a highly creditable manner. Thursday j evening's session opened with music by the choir, reading a scripture lesson, and by prayer. The address ot welcome by Ira il Graham was well delivered, and , wa-> well received by tbe visiting ladies, and by all present. * The response by Miss Dodds was brief but well given and to the point and was highly spoken of by all w;bo heard it. tine oftha most interesting exercises of; the evening was a song by a class of little i girls so ire of them not more than three 1 years old, this would have to be seen ar.d j iieard to he appreciated. They received a i hearty applause from the entire audience, and the Jittle song. ters left the platform feeling justly ptoud of what for them wus more thin a success. Next was the address of Mrs Price of Petrolia: Subject Christian Citizenship. The sptaker was earnest and interesting throughout the entire lecture, and showed that she thoroughly understood her sub ject, and thoao who failed to hear Mrs price's lecture, mi»sed a rich treat. A solo was sung by two of the visiting dele gates, and the meeting closed by singing the doxology, Praise God from whom all blessings flow, and the benediction by the Rev Thompson. Ttje programme for Friday evening was the lecture by Homer L. Castle of Pitta burg, this gentleman is a successful tem pers nee lecturer, and in the course ot his lecture said many good and true things. He commented on the lukewarmness and indifference of the Christian s.;ying; Yon have seven christian churches iu your town, with a populatian of fr< m thirteen hundred to fifteen hundred. Why if all the members of'hese churches were alive to their responsibilities as members of Christ's Chnrch you should have christian ized every citizen ol the place long ago. And yet there are those whose names are on the roll of the church and at the fame time on a petition for a license to sell whiskey lo them and their fellow protes tors. *A professor of Christianity signing a petition to license a business winch is aud always will be in direct opposition to tbe advarcetnent of Christ's cause in the *orld ts gn anomaly which is hard t<> um'er stand. With this lecture closed the busi ness of the convention and the women of the W. C. T. U. leil for their homes on Saturday ni' rning. with the g"od wishes and prayers ot all interested with them iu tbe work iu which they are engaged. G. (From another correspondent.)

While paring a mule's hoof for shoeing' a Clearfield blacksmith found a $lO gold | piece embedded in the hoof Aston township.Delaware countj school directors have discarded slates in schools, as the scratching ruined the nerves of the 1 pupils. Hereafter paper will be used. Lewis Wiseicgtr, the oldest resident of Pennsylvania, died near Johnstown on Sunday afternoon at the age of 105. He j is survived by 17 cbildien by his first and i second wives. There are about 500 other j relatives residing in the immediate J vicinity. Many curious articles have been found ! among the effects of the late Jabeth Mart tin, of Bucks county, this State. Among other things are eighty-seven muzzie-load -1 ing guns, six drums, and one hundred j penknives. 1 Tho Clarion Jwksonian tells of at> egg brought to that office, which measured 7j X6§ incnes, the product of a black Min i orca hen. ; The Sharon Herald says that the Pitis j burg papers on Wednesday had a special 1 telegram from Sharon, of a four-year-old | child of Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Rowland, who live near Farmington, being found drowned in a milk can from which it had evidently been trying to get a drink with a cup in its hand, but lost its balance and went into the can head first. The item is probably correct, but as the accident occured near Farmington. N. Y„ more than a hundred miles from here, it would hardly be necessary to send a special from Sharon abont it. The Kittanning school board has a legal case on its hauds, the outcome of which will be awaited "vith interest by school directors and teachers alike all over the State. It is for a judicial decision on the force and effect of school teachers } early contracts with the boards of directors. No case is on record touching the ques tion whether a teacher signing a contract can break it w ithout the board's consent and teach elsewhere. The directors of the local school have decided that con tracts bind both parties. They want the question settled. It is brought up by the action of a teacher who signed a contract to teach in the Kittanning schools, and did so for two weeks, wheu she accepted another school at Oakmont, Allegheny Co. and sent her resignation to the Kittanning board. The latter will apply to the Al legheny county courts for in injunction restraining the school board in the latter county from employing the teacher. William F. Leathers of New Castle has made an as.-ignnient to ex Judge J.

Society in Lawrence county is in quite a ferment over a suit of divorce brought by I)r. Herman E.

That delusive fake, known as the Pen nsj lvania State Fair, was held week before last at Lini'.'iitown along with the Fayette Coumy Fair. Tbe papers down there are discussing it with considerable curiosity. It is alleged that no traces if the State Fair wero visible on tbe grounds. One director insifts he rode all over the premi ses and failed to find a single sign of a State Fuir, Tbe Standard insists it was visible. The Genius of Liberty suggests the S'.ate Fair was the girl who "danced for men only," aud who skipped the town wheu she heard the officers were after her. Tbe Meadvilie folks, who were buncoed by the State Fair last year, are now in shape to rcnirak, "1 told you so."' A C -v Story. William Hinton, a farmer residing oue mile east of Mochanisburg, Ohio, is the owner of a cow that no one will either milk or venture within soveral bund/ed feet of. Mr. Hinton last year leased his farm to an oil company to drill lor oi'. or gas, and a lew days ago the com pmy shot the well. The drilled lorgot to put iu a place of safety tho sticks ol dyna mite not used wnen they stopped work Mr. Hinton's cow wandered to the derrick, and when he went to drive her back to the field he saw her swallow four sticks of dynamite. He offered a reward of SIOO to the person who would run the risk of being blown to pieces. At dufk the animal lotind its way to the barn, and has been there ever since. Mr. Hinton's home is about 100 feet from the barn. Since the animal has entered tho barn Mr. Hinton and his family have been staying at the house of a neighbor. He says he will neither return to his house nor to tl.e barn until the cow either dies or he can get some oue to take her away. Tbe b irn contains besides the "dynamite 00 w," nine other cows, live horses, several vehicle', and agricultural implements, together with this years crop, valued in all about $4,000. The iusurance agent notified Mr. Hintou that the policy covering the building and contents, would be cancelled to-morrow at noon.

Chances are Not Running away from you, but you are running away from the chances for the best bargins of the year in Suits and Overcoats when you fail to look at our immense stock.
