would sacrifice a sacred principle
for selfish ends would be generally
condemned. This government
surely should take high moral
grounds on questions relating 10
Independent government. It
would be a cowardly submission to
dismiss a subject of that nature at
the dictation of foreign p, wers.
1t Is not question ofnew territory
but one OF human rights in con
tllCt for freedom from tyrany.
From a European standpoint the
question of our interference is ONLY
considered as a plan of conquest.
The people have no divine rights
which a nlonarChlst is supposed to
respect, and the real incentive of
our interest is lost to them. With
the lover of true liberty the moral
rights alone are considered and not
the political question.

The new appointive Offices
created by the late constitutional
amendments are creating some
pnlitiCol interest. As the law now
stands the County Commissioners
have the selection OF the County
School Superintendent and
County Attorneys in the different
counties. Then comes up the
legal question Of whether the out
going board or tie incoming board
shall distribute the patronage. In
Latah county Mr.. McNamm has
already been Apo nted. In this
county there are petitions to be
presented to each of the boards
Then again there is a desire to

The instruction in Cuba is q
disturbing element in politics a,
the present time. The question
has assumed an international scope.
The little island is distinct politi-
cal division and the native peoples
are subjected to foreign power
which has ever been inconsiderate
of even the most sacred Of human
rights, The United States gov
ernment is the logical champion of
of universal personal liberty and
especially upon the continent of
North America, Certain preroga-
tives and rights OF mankind are
sacred and above laws of earthly
rulers if the precepts OF our
Declaration Of Independence are
founded upon sound doctrine.
The appeal is made to this govern
ment to recognize the rights of the
people to resist IN armed rebellion
the oppression of foreign power.
That recognition would sacrifice
some property rights and perhaps
cause interesting International
complication. The great mon,
archs of Europe are jealous OF the
power of this republic and already
they have intimated distrust of our
good intentions on behalf of Cuba.
There is a pronounced sentiment
throughout this country in favor
Of active support of the cause Of
liberty for the Cuhaus. Opposed |
