LESKER S IDLE DREAMS.
In hist week's Seliiisgrove lime,
the editor of that paper, as usual,
makes some statements he kuowsare
false, h is needless for us to deny
that we rcceiwd any money from
Congressman Malum in his '98 tilit
as it is well known that we had none
ofMahon's money to spend, we
did not receive one cent of money
from Congressman Mahou except
what wa8pai(l for printing his card
and his name on the tickets, which
was what every other candidate was
expected to do. K we are to get a
position at Washington at the open
ing of Congress, we know nothing
about it, and it is strange that all
the mugwumps in the country get
this information before the one most
interested.
The limes man has hied both

CUBA AFTER A YEAR OF PEACE.
The Cuban Industrial Relief Fund,
of 7" Tribune Building, New York
City, baa issued for free distribution
an illustrated booklet entitled "Culm

trations are direct reproductions of
photographs taken by William Wil
iard Howard, General Manager of
the Fund during the months of
August and September, 1899. They
show plainly that there is still in
Culm a great amount of sickness,
Buffering and starvation. Not one
ot Mr. Howard's pictures was taken
in a hospital. All represent the con
dition of the Cuban poor as they are

have the two series of articles on

other series of equal importance will
be that on the Philippines by Mr.
