M’CRACKEN’S BOARD. The Board of Election Commis- sioners for McCracken county is a corker—that when we consider that the sule aim of the Goebel Elec- tion Law is to secure a free ballot and a fair count! Its personnel is R. T. Lightfoot, Ed P. Noble and L. K. Taylor. Mr, Noble’s position on the board will be most unen- viable, for he will be the lonesomest man in ten states when the actual work commences of selecting the pre- cinct boards, whose business will be to ‘‘see’’ that the elections are per- fectly fair—to the Democrats. We feel warranted in making the statement that R. T. Lightfoot is probably a citizen of Kentucky, and we are absolutely certain that he is a good Democrat, for in his brief so- journ on this side of the river he has been a perennial candidate, no par- the day arrives that of fraud and*dis- the statute from Porto Ricans Want the Blessings of Liberty Extended to the Black Republic.

THE SPANISH PRISONERS, Within easy reach of the city of Atlanta, by cars, railway, and the fine government highway, lies the splendid wooded reservation of Ft. McPherson. It is regarded as one of the safest inland fortifications in America. Here are kept the Spaniards who have been captured by xd for General Me- a few soldiers are a lieutenant is Pherson, Only left as guards, and ranking officer. It reminds one of nothing so much as @ great univers- ity in the holitay time, Three times a day the prisoners are marched out across the sunny lawn to mess, and back again. The privates move in wondering silence. The officers af- fect an indifferent air, Stalwart negro soldiers, stolid and silent,move in frout and behind. At the meal hours the sergeants bave orders to ar the fort of crowds, if any »wds gather. The management of Ft. McPherson is admirable. The buildings sre clean and airy, the grounds are beautifully kept, and the prisoners are treated with courtesy. Lhe secretary of war bas wired spec- }ial orders 48 to their treatwent. Since | their arrival the Spaniards hi proved wonderfully in. appearance, even the privates have regained a certain confident air, the relaxation from the fear pictured on their faces at first being quite apparent. An of- ficer of the fort who speaks Spanish, bas learned that they expect nothing but instant death. The group is jtypically Spanish, the oflicers alert and intelligent looking, the men spiritless, vacant eyed, mere lord- lings. Colonel Cortijo, the brother- in-law of Weyler, who was released to be exchanged for an American newspaper correspondent, is a gray- bearded veteran, apparently, and has a strong but vicious face, not unlike Weyler himself, While here he was the ranking officer, and always pre- ceded the others iv going to and from meals, walking with a swaggering gait, carrying a cane, smoking a cigarette, with his eyes riveted on the ground in front. NO ESCAPE FROM WAR TALK, There is a man in Cleveland who likes to get away every summer for a brief recuperative trip. His favorite stamping is the north- ern Michigan woods. There he hides from the world and loafs and fishes to his heart’s content. This summer he wanted to get away from the war topics. He was a liftle tired of hav- ing it served for breakfast, dinner and supper, street corners and every conceivable place, so he hailed with delight the idea of thoroughly getting rid of it for a week ortwo. So when he got aboard the litte one horse railroad train that runs upto the lumber camps he smiled a smile of delight. The train got deeper and deeper into the woods, and finally stopped at a wagon road crossing. commands in| Here the Cleveland man alighted, and} to be examined should apply to the after a brisk walk of some three miles found himself at a little clearing where his guide lived.
