The second remark in Judge Wales
charge which calls for comment and
emphasis is as follows:
A people struggling for freedom
always attracts the admiration and
awakens the ardent wishes for their
success Of the citizens Of this republic,
but thus far in our history it has been
the policy of our government to abstain
from rendering any active or material
assistance to either party in such CON
tests.
Cuba is struggling for Freedom.
Spanish rule in the fever faithful
island has been brutal and oppressive.
1t has introduced good deal Of hell
into an island that the Creator design
Cd for paradise, Judge Wales is en-
tirely right in the intimation that the
citizens of this republic admire the
brave effort now making to throw off
such rule and that they cherish ardent
wishes for its success.
That admiration and that hope was
very much in evidence in this city on
Monday when the acquittal Of the ac.
cused Cuhans was celebrated The
verdict Of acquittal was cheered in court
room, not because the people present
believed that twenty one men who we're
innocent Of the charges made against
them had escaped impending punish
ment The applause was given for 4
very different reason by people who re
joiced because the government had
been unablo to provo charges which
they believed Ia be true. II they had
not believed that the Cubaus were
iilibustcrs who had started to fight for
Cuban independence, the people would
have beea but little concerned in the
verdict.
The popular demonstration which
was seen On obi, streets Monday was
an expression Of appreciation for
patriots who may yet find way of
thei" own 70 reach thn fell ~ conflict.
We suppose that thr Spanish govern
ment may net altogether Approve at the
feeling which our people entertain and
do not hesitate To express, but We
hopo THAT the King Of Spain win make
due allowance for ua. Tie must remcm=
hor that we ourselves once had tyrant

set Zip a standard uf revolt AGAINST his
oppression; that we We're feeble then
