We know now that Havana Harbor is
mined. For aught that we know that of
San Joan, Porto Rico, may also be.
The fact will give oar navy no serious
concern. A dynamite shell exploded an
der water within 200 feet of a mine de
stroys it.
The policy cf oar navy in entering any
harbor where mines are known or sus
pected to be in place wilt be to launch
dynamite torpedoes to each possible line
of mines, blow them all up, and then
proceed. Farragut said, "Go on; damn
the torpedo!" Our officers will now more
wisely say, "Destroy the torpedo with
dynamite and then go on.", . -
Tbe United States rebelled against

confiscation. By the time tbe "avari
cious Spaniard gets bis taxes ont there is
almost nothing left for the property
owner, aod in a great many caeca the
tax collector has taken the property also.
This betides brutality and mielreatm'eat
of the worst order. Isn't it about time

A gold Standard Ally.
Bon. W. R. King says in. a Setter of
Msrch 1st:
Tbe middle-of-the-roaders will, if their
wishes are followed lose an opportunity
. to get their principles pot into operation
for fear of having some other party name
harnessed op with theirs. Can you get
principle without officers witb which to
put your principles into operation? If
you want to fight for principle and never
want any offices why waste time aod ex
penses of campaigns. DA you evsr bear
of a middle of the rosder who refused to
accept an office wtien elected? The cam
paign for principle alone, without the
means to put them into operation, can
be advocated as well without parties as
with them. The prohibition party is the
best illustration of middle-of-the-road
tactics in existence. Their principles
are right, but the civilized world can be
sunk into oblivion by the gold slaodard
forces before they can win on that ques
tion, unless conditions are ripe for it, or
nnless the people are prepared to take
tr at up as a leadiog issue.
The constant cry of tbe "'middle-of-the-road"
is tbst all who want nuion of
forces are "pie hunters," "traitors''
"bolters. and other like terms. Tbsy
substitute abuse and hard tames for ar.
gument. It ie indeed strange that popu
lists favoring union should be called of
fice seekers, or "pie hunters" when the
propose to divide tbe offices with demo
crats and silver republicans, while the
middle of tLe road element want all tbe
offices and a ill divide none. Who is tbe
' 'blirgest pie hunter,'. the party wanting
all toe offices or the party asking for a
pottioc only ? Which party is the par
ty of principles, the party wanting to take
a course that means defeat of the caute
Ijt which we have long been fighting
and success of tb party which is now an
enemy to all three forces? Who are the
, t-aitois and bolters, . the party that
stands by the national and state or
ganizations or tbs party that proposes to
go it aloue it everything does not go to
suit tbem?
You cannot escape the fact bat to
run a middle of-the road ticket is breath
iog away from our national and state
organizations and abandoning your na
tional leaders; and further, to indirectly
become an ally of the gold standard
party whether with intent or not as
the middle-of-the-roaders did in Ohio
last fall. Some say they will vote the
republican ticket if tilings don't go to
suit tnem. Can such men be stand
ing for "principles'' when they car they
will vote the gold standard if everything
in . detail is not asdemauded by them T
Men of that principle can do no good in
our ranks for they are against us. The?
must be converted first. No true con
vert of our principles can ever have so
little regard for the welfare ef the mass
es as to voto for the gold standard, sim
ply for revenge.'
Mary A. LlvermorVs New Book.
"The Story of My Life," or the Sun
shine and Shadow of Seventy Years, is
tbe title.
This new and superbly illustrated
book is the crowning life work of the fa
mous Mary A Livermore,and, as she
herself states, it is tbe last that will ever
come from her pen. It is a thrilling nar
rative of her life from infancy to old age,
portraying the sunshine and shadow of
a most marvelous career, told in tier own
words.
It seems almost increible that a wom
an now so famous made "mud pies" in
her childhood and was often sent sapper
less to bed, and was frequently bounced
down into a kitchen chair with an em
phasis that made her "see stars ' When
a young girl straggling to support her
Y
self she took in "slop work,' made
shirts, and euoeequently learned thej
trade of a dressmaker, at which she
worked for twenty-five cents a day. At
eitbteen she "ran away from home like
a boy," and spent three eventful years on
a slave plantation years fail of comedy
aod tragedy, and packed with thrilling
experiences.
She tells ot the eventful Christmas
night when she wandered into the
church ot a Strang young preacher.
who soon afterward became her husband.
Their comical experience in their first
attempt at boose keeping ; the ignomini .
one fate that her husband awarded to
ber first fish chowder he buried it after
dark in the garden ; and the many tri
als and tribulations that followed are
marvelonily interesting. They . were
poer. She tried ber band at ta'loring.
nd with the money saved by secretly
making her husband a pair of trousers
sh paid for a year's subscription to
weekly newspaper.
Mrs. Li vermore threw ber whole heart
and soul into measures for relief of sick
and wounded soldier, and spent four
years as a norse ia the Union army. Her
intellectual great nee and nobility of
character led ber to rise frcm these
thrilling experiences and become the
best known woman of America, and
opened the way to her pbenominal
platform career that hss roe tinned for
more than thirty years. At her feet
millions of people have eat and listened !
with admiration and wonder. Tlie rich
and the poor, tbe high and the low, the
learned and the nnlearned have been
alike thrilled and moved by ber horn
ing words. She has ewated brilliant
audiences of fashion ; has spoke in state
prisona.jaiIs.and penitentiaries; to audi
ences composed of outcasts, and to audi
ences nombericg thousand of children.
In this autobiography she gives many
reminiscences of ber platform experi
ences, with anecdotes and incidents "too
funny for anything."
Man distinguished mrn e'rd women
have long urged Mrs. Livermore to tell
the marvelous story of ber life. She has
received letters from thousands ot men
and women, nnknowa to ber, expressing
the hope that such a volume would be
written.
The work is wholly and entirely new.
It contains nothing that appeared In ber
"btory of the War." (1887), of which
sixty thousand copies were sold.
The book is splendidly illustrated by
beautiful and costly full-page photo
gravure plates ana portraits, and over
one hundred fine text illustrations.
Many of tbem are intensly humorous.
while others depict thrilling scenes full
of pathos and tragic interest.
We do not know when 730 pages have
given us more genuine pleasure. If we
speak warmly of the book, it ia because
it richiy dascavca it. It ia sold only by
agents, and is meeting with a large rale.
Agents who introduce a first-class work
like this ought to be welcomed, e be
lie, e that tbe best way to keep otft poor
books is by introducing good ones, and
a better one than this bas never brought
to our notice. Putitfnto your homes.
It will be read over and over again by
old and young, witb pleasure and lasting
profit, and may well be handed dowr
from father to son and mother to daugh
ter as a priceless legacy . T
The book ia hold only by agents, and

firm of A. D. Worthington & Co , Hart

the Linn County Court House.
To the Tax Payers of Linn County
There will be submitted for your con
sideration and action, at tb June elec
tion, a proposition to instruct tbe county
court to levy a specific tax in the vear of
1899 .sufficient to raise the sum of 112.500
to be expended in repairing the county
court house, as per plans and specifics-
tiona now open tor public inspection in
the county court room in Albany.
We desire to give a brief outline ot the
reasons ot the court tor submitting this
proposition at this time.
First, there absolutely must be some
repairs made oa the present building the
coming year, aa the roof ie decayed and
leaks so badly aa to cause Uie plastering
of court and other rooms to loosen and
fall off. An entire new root ie needed.
Fbe large weighty dome ia so badly de
cayed at tbe base as to sway and vibrate
during a heavy wind storm, endangering
the entire root by ita liability to topple
over and go crashing through into the
courtroom below. There is br.t one
large vault ia tbe entire building and
that baa become eo overcrowded with
books and recotds as to absolutely pre
clude tbe possibility ot holding the
monthly increase of these records tor tbe
coming year, even now very many ri
tne costly volumes are oeing prematurely
worn, racked and bindings loosened,
necessitated by being piled upon each
other and rebandled oa tbe shelve ow
let to lack of vault room to have tbem
systematically arranged.
. la tne present Douoing tne aesecsor,
who at times employs three or four as
sistants, baa no office or room to do hu
work, while the surveyor is compelled to
hols up with the superintendent of
schools. Tbe circuit court room resem
bles the loft of a great empty barn, with
ita plastering discolored, loosened and
dropping off, through leakage cf the
root.
There is no grand jury room and only
an apology for a petit jury room in the
building. Tbe latter room I think bav
ins been condemned by about every
grand jury that bas convened tor the
last tea years.
vt ita an expenditure sot exceeuia g
$12,500 a third story can be twill oa
present wails, covere-1 aitn slate root,
modern style of architecture, entiie
building heated with steam witb radia
tors in every room, saving annually one
half tb coat ot fuel aa com)red with
tbe present stove system.
This arrangement will provide a good
grand and petit jury room, consulting
room, small library, also office for' asses
sor, surveyor and separate rooms for
clerk sad recorder and more than double
the present vault spec which la tier has
absolutely to be provided for.
Tbs county court under the present
la w can make these repairs, but it calls
lor an oxtraordinary expenditure aad
believing ia the referendum they have
aesa proper to submit tbis question to
the tax payers of tbe county, wbo toot
the bills and of right ought to be con
sulted ia tbe expenJitore ot their own
money. To repair this building which!
is so badly needed and In work it over
into a grand structure that all our peo
pi will take pride ia will not increase
the tax for 1899 exceeding IS' tnille to
pay for tbe entire job. Call and eee tbe
plana. Geo. P. Bato.
