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.

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 after a Year of Peace." Theillus 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 alter the island has been has been at peace for more than u year; as they are after the American flag has float ed over them for ten months. The survivors of the reconcentrados still live in the wretched huts into which they were crowded at the time of the infamous Weyler concentration or der. Utterly without work-oxen, fanning tools, or seeds, with which to resume the cultivation of their devastated farms, thev have remain ed in the towns and cities without means of support and without hope for the future.
