The talk of anti-American sentiment in Cuba does not fall agreeably on American ears. The Cuban republic owes all that it is and all that it can ever hope to be to the United States, and the islanders ought at least wait for their liberty to get cold before beginning to elect officials on a platform of Americanaphobia. The Cincinnati Enquirer declared during the campaign recently closed that rural free delivery was a political dodge. It will be hard, to bring the thousands of Indiana farmers who are enjoying the benefits of the service, and the thousands more who will receive it under the policy of rapid expansion outlined by the first assistant postmaster general in his recent report, to the Enquirer’s way of thinking. Following closely on the heels of the Republican victory at the polls comes the announcement of increases in wages to thousands of railroad employes, aggregating millions of dollars annually. Prosperity and Republicanism may not be twin sisters, but they keep company so steadily that there is ground for the suspicion that there may be some relationship between them. The editor of the Congressional Directory reports that he has received a request from Senator Harris, of Kansas, that he be hereafter designated a democrat instead of a populist. This removes the last populist name from the Senate list. But three members of the house continue to call themselves populists, and these were defeated at the recent election, so that when next Congress meets there will not be a single populist in either body. Among the many innovations offered at the third International Live Stock Exposition, which is to be held in Chicago, November 29-December 6, is the provision made for the care of the hog and sheep exhibits. Separate quarters, light, airy and free from the possibility of contagion, have been arranged, and with chutes directly from the car, a drive or wagon haul is avoided. This will be appreciated by exhibitors, especially those having a number of entries. Dwight J. Partello, an American employed in consular work in Germany, says that the German mechanic who gets $1 25 a day is an aristocrat among his fellows. About 75 cents a day is the average compensation. The cheapest meat the artisan can buy is horse flesh at 20 cents a pound. Beef and pork run from 60 cents a pound. Butter is 40 cents a pound. Vegetables are correspondingly high and sea-food is scarce and costly. If any of our domestic calamity howlers feel discouraged over the results of their labors, there are more inviting fields of effort in sight than the United States.

The Drunkard. A black eye and a gash, And a cut and a slash, A window to smash, And then pay the cash. A rough and tumble fight; They scratch, swear and bite Then make it all right, Fill up and get tight. Then want to fight more; They roll and tumble o’er Tobacco juice on the floor, And fight till they are sore. Take a chew from your plug, Go fill up mb-mug, Swig all you can lug From the little brown jug. What caused the contention, And created a sensation, ’Twas John Barley Corn, Real early in the morn. Got mixed with Casey’s whiskey That made him feel friskey, And in mixing with wine, There was no time to dine. For there’s whiskey red hot, For the old drunken sot. Then in comes the police To command the peace. You poor old drunken bum, You’re a beggar from rum, But when you feel queer, Your thoughts are lager beer. You come up to the bar, And call for a cigar, You are just getting ripe To smoke an old pipe. With the old pipe to puff, Your next step is snuff And then you’re so gruff, You dirty old bluff. And the pride of your life Is curses for your wife, When there is no relief For your poor mother’s grief. You get drunk tomorrow, Your children in sorrow, Such a dirty old twister, A disgrace to your sister. A shame to your mother, A curse to your brother. Bartender Mister Coon, In the legalized saloon. Although he is dutch, His character not much, The proprietor js greed, He is blooming for seed. His babe’s drinking milk, His wife dressed in silk, His clothes are very fine, From the sales of his wine. Brandy the bane of life, Source of tumult and strife, Manufactures galoots, With snakes in their boots. It causes greedy gain, A head racked with pain, And man that has lied, To wives that have cried. Fond mothers have sighed, Poor fathers have died, Dear children have starved The drunkard has carved. To gain notoriety, As a curse to sbciety, While in with his pards A gambler with cards. Little children to keep, There’s mothers to weep, With so many fears, Whole family in tears. So call whiskey and gin, The serpent of sin, And while whiskey is king, Keep "clear of its sting. It will make you sadder, It stings like an adder, It kills, slays and slaughters Regardless of daughters. It ruins your lives, A sorrow to wives, It grieves your poor mother, Disgraces your brother. It brings children to shame, And you are to blame, For no money to save From your birth to your grave. You have spent a large sum, In the bondage of ram, You are now very old, And left out in the cold. Now whom do you serve, With your poor shattered nerves, For there is no arm to save The drunkard from the grave. Down in Possum hollar, There whiskey is a dollar. It’s a low gambling den Always full of bad men. It’s where rum is for sale, You can fill up on ale, Get beer by the pail And thenlland in jail. Through the slough of despond, With a strawberry blonde, Mismanagement there, Such a sorrowful pair. With rum, cards and wine, And gambling in line, You’re an old drunken bloat, With an old ragged coat. Boiling drunk you are rich, Then you fall in the ditch, And you rage and you swear, And wonder where you are. Next taken to the house, And kept still as a mouse, But a swimming in your head, Makes you fall out of bed. Then you begin to gag, As limber as a rag. You are picked up for dead, And laid back on the bed. For your whiskey pay cash, Cut a swell and a dash, There’s a violent clash, With the whip your wife thrash. It’s a big blacksnake whip, And enough of your lip, With the whiskey you sip, You’re a dirty old rip. Well do I remember, You drank in September, You was never sober In the month of October. You was drunk every day In the warm month of May. It was the same drunken tune, In the hot month of June. You had no white shirt to starch, In the cold month of March And you are always dry In the month of July. Your poor wife has no hash, In your pockets no cash, You’re a drunkard so wild, That you beat your poor child.

Coughs “ My wife had a deep-seated cough for three years. I purchased two bottles of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, large size, and it cured her completely.” J. H. Burge, Macon, Col. Probably you know of cough medicines that re> lieve little coughs, all coughs, except deep ones! The medicine that has been curing the worst of deep coughs for sixty years is Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Three sizes: 25c., enough for an ordinary cold; 50c.. just right for bronchitis, hoarseness. hard colds, etc.; JU, most economical for chronic cases and to keep on hand. J. C. AYER CO., Lowell, Mass.

You have stumbled over chairs, Tumbled headlong down stairs, And then called a bad egg After breaking your leg. Over trouble you brood, Your wife’s without wood, In your house there’s no food, You’re a drunkard—no good. It is just before noon That you scrub the saloon, On arriving so soon, You must clean the spittoon. Come up, boys, it’s my treat, And up jumps the dead beat, Just as full of deceit, As Jim, Pat, Dick or Pete. There’s no whiskey on time, By the glass it’s a dime, And it fills you with slime, It will end you in crime. In the streets of hog wallow, Take a large cow swallow, Guzzle beer down your throat, You’re a dirty old bloat. There’s a red drunken lane, Causes drunkards to wane, With a sorrowful pain, When there’s nothing to gain. You’re a slow suicide, On the road that is wide, No room for instruction, On the road to destruction. You have been drunk again, And laid out in the rain, And your clothes are all worn, They’re all tattered and torn. You’re a regular bum, That is all soaked with rum You are dreaming of lakes, That are plum full of snakes. You’re elected to roam, Without any home. All your money you gave, To fill a drunkard’s grave. Composed and written by John Casey, the Poet Laureate of Jasper County, Indiana.
