We are most heartily glad to see that
the cause of the Cuban patriots is here ex-
citing deeper and deeper interest. And
yet the interest ought to go deeper still. 1t
does seem as if it would not be amiss to at
least ask ourselves the question if the time
has not come to grant belligerent rights to
the Cuban insurgents. No great harm
could possibly come from this questioning /;
and, on the other hand, it might. possibly
look halfway fair toward brave, strug-
Cling people, who have kept up several
years. warfare in the face of most dishearten-
ing odds against Government which acts so
diabolically that it is simple, manly virtue
to rebel against it. We say this with
out here taking into account the case of
our own grievances, that Of the vessel
Florida, for example. To be sure, the
granting of full belligerent rights might re-
suit dsadvantageously to Spain in Cuba,
but then that, through her own cruelty and
stupidity, has come to be her own lookout.
Are we, then, longer bound to shut our
eyes to the one side and open them to the
other? Talk Of precedent and Of this and
that intricacy of international law as you
please, but as for us, we find no more fair
ness in this struggle in Cuba than there is in
the street fight which makes any honest
blood boil where one man having most IN
fair advantage pounds another man to death
simply because of that advantage Waste

(FAMILY FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing machinists, and by
them pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize ut the great
Paris Exposition in 1867
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines ut
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock stitch will do
BECAUSE, it win do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give q womans reason
| BECAUSE, it is just q little darling, and so
easy to learn.
