A hard fight is being made by Thomas c. Plat
10 prevent J. Sloat Fassett from being sent a
delegate TO the Republican State Convention.
Why a nominal resident Of Tioga County and an
actual resident of NewYork should take an ac-
tive part in the purely domestic affairs OF Che
mung County would be hard for any one unfamil-
lar with our system Of boss ship to understand.
The secret of the Plat enmity TO Fassett seems
TO be that the latter last winter favored the re-
form legislation for this city which the former
did not wish to see enacted The fight against
Fassett was begun Unexpectedly, and in the first
skirmish the Platt forces won a victory. But
Mr. Fassett's friends have not been idle. They
bitterly resent outside interference in their con-
Germs and will in all probability make their re-
sentiment effective.
New-York tribune., 1895-08-26

The opinion is general among Americans who
have been in Germany recently that Mr. Louis
Stern Of this city, was shamefuy treated be
cause Of the little unpleasantness between him
and Baron Won Thuengen. The views Of Con
sulGeneral De Kay, Of Berlin. were printed yes
ter1ay. To-day we publish an interview with
Mr. Dickinson, prominent Boston lawyer, to
the same effect. Mr.. Dickinson affirms that
Mr. Stern broke no law, and that the penalty
imposed on him waz an outrage. The provoca-
ton under which the merchant acted was great,
and If he lost his temper 1t was not criminal or
an objectionable offence. Mr. De Kay has re-
ported all the facts to Washington. 1t remains
TO be seen whethe. any protest against the
treatment 70 which an American citizen has
been subjected will be entered.

II dispatch from Burns. Ore. is based on ac-
curatc information. the Bannock Indians have
again been treated in 4 shameful and murdcrous
fashion by white men who apparently think the
Indians have NJ rights worthy Of respect. The
latest difficulty Is reported to have no c0nnec-
ton with the Jackson's Hole troubles few
weeks back. The Indians while out on hunt
ing expedition, accidentally or otherwise killed
a number OF cattle, whereup0n a band Of cattle
men set upon them and slaughtered fifteen. one
or two squaws being among the numDer. This
Is simply murder: and its character Is not al
tered because the leader Of the whites was in
spired by revenge for his fathers death in 1873
at the hands Of the Bannocks. The demands Of
justice in the case are entirely plain The shoot

BY Canon Bell.
Come let us wake sweet Echo with song:
Here she lies sleeping. waiting for our voice.
So call her loudly with courteous tongue,
That coming forth she may with us rejoice
For Morning walks in beauty Ger the daie
And Nights bright glories fore her spendors paie
Nymph Of the hills. awake awake.
Melodious answer 10 us make
What shall we sing to please the maiden shy'
And lure her from the secret solitude,
IN which she dwels. Withdrawn from every eye
Amid the deep recesses of the wood
In whose green boughs is heard the Joyous lay
OF merry birds that greet the dawn OF DAY!
Echo. sweet Echo hear no strain.
Thy voice is bliss: thy silence pain.

/, cENTRISTS.

The Catholic party In the German
Reichatag is aIsonrce q great annoyance e
to the Emperor just now. The bill
against the socialists was an object Of
especial solioitnde on the part Of the En-
peror. It was q measure to punish those
who in speech or writing should inoite
any persons to attack the Emperor Or
the army or prosperity or the Father
land.'' To this the Centre or Catholic
party agreed but insisted thatIa similar
punishment should be provided for those
who condemn belief in God, in the i'm
mortality Of the soul OF the sscredness Of
the marriage relation. This Of course
raised a storm 81 Liberal opposition and
even the Emperor thinks the provision
too strict. The attitude Of the Centre
party is certainly very clever. The gov
ernment will put itself in 9 bad light il
it advocates the protection Of the En-
|peror from adverse criticism and refuses
to protect the name Of God from the at
tacks Of Atheists. It is difficult to under
stand how prosperity can be held sacred
and the soul disregarded. It is likely
that the Centre party insisted upon the
provisions in order to defeat the measure,
for it can hardly be contended that they
expected them to be adopted. 1t was 9
bit 81 shrewd satire INDUCED in at the
expense Of the restrictive and despotic
measures of the Emperor. It shows the
ability and acuteness Of the leaders Of
the Centre party which is gradually
wringing ffom unwilling hands ell the
liberties and privileges which were taken
from the Catholics Of Germany IN 1871.
Every success OF the Catholic cause in
Germany in the last % years has been at
tanned BY strictly Legislative means. The
Centre party today is the hope Of good
government in Germany. It's liberal ten
dency has prevented the government
parties from passing extremely oppres-
sive army measures and its loyalty to the
German Empire is shown BY it's steady
opposition 70 the power Of socialism.

SATURDAY, MARCH %. 1895.
THE SPANISH TROUBLE.

The iingos have been trying to stir W
q great deal Of excitement over the ALI
anca affair. Their idea Of the eternal fit.
ness Of things would be to have Presi-
dent Cleveland dispatch q feet to Cuba
t. wipe the seas with Spain. They would
do this without any investigation, but
simply upon the report of Capt. Cross
man of the Alliance.
There is certain set OF men in public
life to-day commonly called jingos who
are especially anxious for the country to
show it's teeth on all occasions. They
ara men who would gladly send their
fellow-countrymen to war and go them
selves by proxy. They tried to stir up
trouble over Hawaii, but found that
Cleveland had an idea or two of his own.
Cleveland has shown the same thing
again in the Spanish matter. The de-
mand made by Secretary Gresham that
Spain should promptly apologize IS
couched in sufficiently severe language
to please the most sensitive on national
honor.
If reports are correct the United
States should demand prompt disa-
vowal of the affair by the Spanish gov
ernment; for the firing Of solid shot Of
the Alliance on the high seas was cer-
tainly breach of national amity. The
trouble arose about like this. a large
number OF the inhabitants of Cuba,
which is Spanish possession, are in re-
volt. Spanish gunboats were patroling
the coast for the purpose OF preventing
any foreign ships from landing on the
Cuban coast, which might have guns or
provisions for the insurgents on board.
The Alliance was on her usual route be-
tween this country and Caribbean ports
and more than three miles off Cuba. The
American ship was thus on the high sea
without the jurisdictional waters Of
Spain, and according to Capt. Crossman,
flying the American flag whom she was
pursued and fired upon By the Spanish
warship, which presumably wished to
detain the American vessel and ascertain
whether or not she earned arms for the
insurgents. I'd: 55 5 #
In 1919 we went to war because Eng
land persisted in doing just this and an:
doubtedly it will not 60 UNPUBLISHED now.
Even If the Alliance was within three
miles Of the coast Of Cuba and thus on
Spanish waters, Spain could not Justly
act as she did for she has not declared
the Cuban insurgents to be beliggerent.
which she would have to do in order to
maintain blockade. Undoubtedly
Spain will disavow the act and apologize.
The act was probably but . display Of
the haughtlness OF an individual Spaniard
which was SO characteristic Of the nation
whom they used to lord it over the eeaa.
But we can depend upon the admins
tration to preserve the dignity Of the
! American nation without any aid from
the iingos. i5s
