THE PORTLAND ELECTION, held
last Monday, was most hotly contest
ed between the Hol'aday and anti.
Holiday tickets, and much larger
numbe. of votes were polIed than At
any previous municipal election in
that city. The Holladayites elected
the Police Judge, Treasurer and two
Conncilmen, and the opposition elect
ed tho Mayor, Assessor. and one
Councilman. It is at least gratifying
TO know that there is sufficient righte-
BUSINESS in Portland TO make it warm
for the corrupt Holladay ring which
has sought to control that city's az
fairs for the past few years. BY our
next State election it is highly proba.
BILE that they will meet with a more
calamitous fate than that of las. III on

THE FARMERS TmUMpH.-It has
now come to be fully understood that
the farmers can only protect them
selves against transportation rings
and capital combinations by taking
hand at the political bellows and put
ting forward their own friends as
candidates for Office. In pursuance
of this object the Fifth Judicial Dis.
trict of Illinois few weeks ago nom-
mated, and, we are glad to be able to
state, elected their candidate for Dis
trict Judge by the handsome majori-
ty of something over 1900 votes. It
must come 10 this all over the coun
try. We must have more farmers
and fewer sbysters in the Legislative,
executive and judicial offices of the
country to prevent our people from
being completely robbed and our
country entirely ruined.

Newspaper Laws.

In response to a request to give the
law as it stands relating to newspapers
and subscribers:
l. Subscribers who DO not give ex-
press notice to the contrary, are con.
sidered wishing to continue their sub
scription.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publishers may continue to send them
until all arrears are paid.
3. IF subscribers neglect or refuse &c
take their periodicals from the Office to
which they are directed, they are held
responsible until they have settled
their bills and orderedthem discon
tinued.
4. Ifsubscribers move to other places
without informing publishers and the
papers sent to former direction, they
are held responsible.
3. The courts have decided that re-
fusilg to take newspers from the office
or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is prima facie evidence of inten-
tional fraud.
6. Any person receiving newspaper
and making use of it, whether he or
dered it or not, is held to be subscrib-
er.
Z. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice to pub
fishers, at the end of their time, ifthey
do not wish to continue the paper
otherwise the publisher is authorized
to send it on, and then subscribers
will be responsible until an express no
tice, with payment of all arrears is sent
to the publisher.

American Interests in Cuba.

According to the Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
Secretary Fish has been giving the
Spanish Minister at Washington some
plain talk. That correspondent
writes
In regard to the failure to execute
the DEGREES from Spain for the release
of American estates in Cuba, Secre-
tary Fish has informed Admiral Polo.
Spanish Minister here, that Spain must
give assurance that these DEGREES are
being obeyed by Thursday, Nov. q.
Polo asked if the United States would
not wait for an answer until the Satur-
dag following. The Secretary said
Mo- that the President intended to
have his message prepared by Thanks
giving Day, ready to submit to the
Cabinet on Friday, which is the day
for the last regular meeting before
Congress assemblies. Polo was further
informed that the President was anx-
ious to be able to say to Congress that
Spain had really acted in the matter,
instead of merely promising, and that
in case she did not act, be should re-
commend that the United States here
after assume the entire protection OF
the lives and property OF her own cltl-

WHAT interest can our people have
in a war with Spain? Of course the
absorption of Cuba is the objective
point aimed at by the war party. We
have now an excess of territory, and
far more than is governed with wisdom
and Justice. Should we gain Cuba, the
people will have to foot the bill OF
cost, whilst the advantages TO be gain
ed, will be absorbed by corrupt CON-
hinations of capital and the people be
taxed to maintain. at that distance
from home, the laws extended over
that country and official vultures sent
out there to prey upon the substance
of the unlucky inhabitants of that is
land. Then, again, where is the justice
of waging war uponit If the crew
of the Virginius had staid at home as
law abiding citizens of this glorious
Republic, they would neither have
been captured nor shot. Their own
lawlessness brought their fate upon
them, and We fail to see the
Justice of holding the better cit
liens of the country responsible
for the cost of avenging those
who have suffered for palpable vio-
lation of the laws of their owE coun-
try, by contemplated invasion of a
government with which we are at peace.
Without just:tying the bloody slaught-
er of prisoners, we have no sympathy
with them and prefer that all such law
less adventures suffer the penalty OF
their crime.

The CUBAN AFFAIR.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Secretary
Robson is not expected to return here
for several days. The principal object
of his visit is TO make a personal in
spection of the condition Of our naval
vessels at the Philadelphia and Brook
Ign yards, and to push forward as rap
idly as possible the work of repair and
fitting up now going on.
The tug-boat Tiuta, which is prepar-
ing for dispatch boat between Havana
and Key West, is rapid sailor, and
it is supposed will be able to make
the trip In from 8 to 10 hours. 1t is
the intention that the Navy Depart
ment shall have daily intelligence of
what is transporting in Cuban waters,
and the commander of our naval forces
will have instructions to send con-
stantly full dispatches.
Numerous applications nave already
been addressed here in behalf of
prominent newspapers of the country,
asking permission for their correspond
ents to go aboard of the men -of-war
destined for the Gulf squadron.
The general impression seems to be
settling down now to the conviction
that we are to have war, which, how
ever, does not seem to be shared in to
any considerable extent by prominent
officials.
Most of the prominent Cubans who
have been sojourning in Washington
left tonight for New York, avOwing
their determination never to cease
their efforts till Cuba is free. Tele-
grams and letters by the score have
been coming to the Secretaries of War
and the Navy, from volunteer officers
in the late war, rendering their services
in case of hostilities. Many of the
ex -confederates have also written that
they would like to have 4 chance TO
serve the Government if difficulties
should arise.
President Grant, who returned this
morning, was called upon by quite
number of people, despite the very in
clement weather. He was as usual
somewhat reticent, but what he did say
left no doubt that he meant bust
ness.
Some surprise is expressed at the
tone of the London papers in accept
ing as foregone conclusion that Cuba
must speedily fail into the hands of
the United States. 4 few years ago
such a proposition would not have
been looked upon with any degree of
equanimity in any of the countries of
Europe.
