POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

Workingmen should see to it that
their protest against the democratic
attack upon them finds its way to
congress. Let that body know that
the labor OF this country refuses to
work on n level with the degenerate
masses OF the old world. The sacri-
flee is unnecessary, and tariff thinkers
should be made to feel that they can
not with IMMUNITY trample upon the
rights OF the eople.-Lincoln Journal.
The mugwump is to-day the most
mournful iisure in all the arena OF
political action. He stands, remarks
the Philadelphia Press, on the weary
desert between the devil and the deep
sea with nothing ahead OF him which
he can look forward to with hope, and
nothing behind him which he can look
back to with pride.
1t is very certain that the people do
not wish any man to be nominated
under dictation from any quarter, or
for any reason other than the indie
pendent belief OF the convention that
his name will furnish the best guaran-
tee OF victory. The candidates so far
proposed or suggested are all men OF
recognized ability and integrity, and
it is probable that any OF them could
be elected. Moines iowa Regis

Nlr. n,aine,s Great Popularity.

'espite Mr., Blaine's positive declina-
ton to permit his name to be con.
sidered by the national republican
convention, many of his admirers in
all sections OF the union still insist
that he should be nominated, Hnain-
tanning that the nomination. would
DO equivalent to an election. II is
held by leading republicans OF New
York that Mr.. Blaine can poll
heavier vote in the Empire state than
any other republicans can carry that
state in November next, and they
further hold that New York will 20 to
the Chicago convention with full
Blaine delegation, In Ohio many OF
the leading republicans still demand
Mr.. Blaine's nomination despite the
great statesman's protest against
such action, One OF these Ohio repub-
leans, Judge William II, West, the
eloquent orator who presented Mr..
Blaine's name to the Chicago conven-
ton In 1884, in n recent open letter
says; "My fixed and upalterable con
viction il that Mr.. Blaine ought to
accept the reason that believe that he
can carry more electoral votes than
any other candidate. With 1853
southern electoral votes against, our
margin is too small for indulgence OF
state pride OF iavoritism. We must
nominate q candidate who oan win.
Mr.. Blaino's most intimate and trusted
friends know that he is sincere and
earnest in his determination not to
permit his name to 90 before the ma
tional convention. Should the nomi-
nation be forced upon him, however,
is ii likely that he would decline the

CUBA TERRIFIED.
The Capta7n-GeneraI OF the Island
Supprosses the Liberal Organs.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 25.--The lates,
intelligence from Cuba is alarming. owing
to the fact that Captain. General Martin
is allowing himself to be guided by
party claiming TO be great Spanish pat
riots. The entire liberal press OF, the
island has been suppressed and constitu-
tional rights denied them. They hence
forth will not he allowed to publish any
acts of kidnapping. murder arson, or any
other crime committed on the island The
two official organs of the government
will continue rs heretofore Martin now
wants TO make it appear to the eyes of
the world, especially to the Madrid gov
eminent, that these kidnappers and other
bandits are being melted by Cuban lead
ers in order to again begin a war to give
Cuba her liberty. This is by no means
correct The fact is the bandits are doing
as they please. Last week fires destroyed
six or eight plantations This week there
were two OF three more, including one in
the city of Sagua. in which fifty houses
were burned down. The people now liy.
ing in Cuba are terrified. not knowing at
what moment they may be murdered in
cold blood by bandits or government
troops. who make many mistakes aud
many innocent people are killed by their
stupidity.

CHOICE OF THE EDITORS.
Presidential Preferences Of Western
Newspaper Men,


Reports have been collected from
the editors OF about 400 newspapers
in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri
and Colorado, which give the prefer
ences OF each editor for president, both
on the republican and democratic tick
cts. Replies from democratic editors
in all the states mentioned show that
Mr.. Cleveland is their only first choice,
with the possible exception OF one
editor, who announces himself uh-
qualifedly in favor OF Frances Folsom
Cleveland for the executive chair. The
republican editors, since Blaine las
declared himself out OF the race, Nave
usually announced their individual
preference and added "as second
choice the nominee of the convention,

ONE MORE DISPOSED OF.

The very latest Democratic dodge. and
OF which decent members of the party
wash their hands and confess it is the very
hight and completeness of meanness and
scimility, is document that is being cir
culated broadcast purporting to be copy
o. one entry in the pay and muster roll
Of Company G Regiment of the Indiana
Legion called out by Governor Williams
in 1877. 1t reads: "a facsimile of the
muster roll on which General Harrison
receipted for his pay as captain of d COM
pany organized to force the strikers to go
back to work" 1t then recites that Ben
jamin Harrison, ranking as captain, served
four days at the rate of $50 per month,
the total being $50, and that he received
the same. Now the fact is that General
Harrison did accept the position Of cap
tain, but that the Legion was not organized
"to force the strikers TO go back to work, y
but 10 preserve the peace against horde
of the criminal element that 6ocked into
indianapolis Oh the news of the strike.
Also that General Harrison did not take
the ''pay," $40, but handed it over to the
Indianapolis Light Infantry Company
fund, that being one of the regularly Or
ganized and permanent militia companies
of the State, and Treasurer Bixbey of that
company, received the money and put it
into the company treasury. This lie dis
posed of, the country is ready for the next
invention of the frightened managers of the
Democratic party.
