Boston iierall)

1t is reported that Mr. Thomas b. Reed
is not al all disposed 10 borrow trouble as
candidate over the failure of the bond
bill. for he is confident that the people
will do him full justice on the matter.
They will recognize that no trace of
blame for the failure attaches to him
either personally or officially. Both as a
Republican leader and As speaker Of the
House he used his power and influence to
the utmost in favor of the measure. 1t
went through the popular chamber with
lying colois, and its subsequent ship
wreck in the Senate was obviously beyond
his prevention. We are quite sure that
his confidence in the Judgment Of his
countrymen on this point viii be justified
by tho outcome. The American people
have happy llnacS Of eating at ths
truth on any subject in which they are
deeply interested, aud the Maine states
man can safely trust TO the exercise Of
this faculty n his behalf
The record which Mr. Reed has made
during the present session on the bond
bill and the free coinage substitute for
that measure Is beyond exception. 1t has
won for him a wide range OF support from
the business element of his party, and
secured for him the respect and admira-
tion Of honest money men outside of the
party's lines. He has shown high courage
and thorough soundncss. He has only to
maintain this acceptable attitude to the
end and he can feel firm assurance that
it will be fully appreciated by the country

Augusta Needs a Hospital.

Augusta needs hospital We do not
think anyone will attempt to qualify the
statement; certainly no one at all &C
quainted with the subject In fact this
need has long been recognized both by the
medical profession and these who appre-
ciate even in part, the advantages which
such an institution affords. Not long AGO
a movement for establishing hospital in
this city was started and discussed at a
public meeting. 1t was there shown that
the advanced requirements of surgery and
nursing could not be satisfactorily met
without the facilities such as only hos
pital can provide. A widespread interest
was manifested then and the prospect of
sufficient financial aid seemed excellent,
considering that scarcely beginning had
been made. AT that time, however, the
new library project was engrossing public
attention and especially the attention Of
some who would naturally be looked to for
support in the work of establishing hos
pital. But thiswas but temporary diver
sion of public interest from the matter. The
need exists to even greater degree; the
physicians of the city are as progressive
and aggressive as then and we believe arc
ready to do all in their power to further
such an enterprise. Indeed we have
learned that the subject is now being con-
sldered by them with view to taking
some Immediate steps We hope they
VIII do SO and will meet with encourage
ment from all.

institutions but the very great majority
do not feel that they can do so. Certainly
population, such as Augusta Is the cen
tire Of, should not be without hospital.
1t would be impossible for us to hazard
any estimate of the cases which prove
fatal as now treated at the homes of the
patients, but which under the conditions
to be had in a well regulated city hos
pital would recover. But We believe it
will be generally conceded that there are
some such. There are few il any homes
where delicate surgical operations can be
performed us successfully as amid the
facilities and skilled nursing afforded at a
hospital, Certainly there are not few
places where sick people are now compelled
to stay, that are altogether unfit. For this
there will be 10 remedy short OF such IN
institution as is proposed.
These would certainly seem sufficient
reasons, but there are others, that will
suggest themselves. While Augusta has
cause TO be proud of the recognized high
standing of her physicians, it is evident
she cannot derive the full benefit Of their
learning experience and skill under ex-
listing conditions. We have a fine new
library building as a recent and CON
spicuous testimonial of the public spirit
OF Augusta people, who, we believe will
be glad of an opportunity to aid very p,a-
terlally in the undertaking now proposed

Recognition Of Cuban Insurgents Approaching.

1t Is evident that the recognition of the
Cuban insurgents by this country is ap-
preaching and it received a noticeable
impetus last week from the speech of
Senator Lodge and from facts disclosed
by the Cuban correspondence laid before
the House committee on foreign affairs
In that correspondence was letter from
acting secretary of state, Uhl, to our
consul general at Havana. In that letter
the position taken is outlined in these
words
"In the event, however. of injury, a
claim would necessarily have to be
founded upon averment, and reasonable
proof that the responsible officers of the
Spanish government being in a position
to prevent such injury, have failed to use
due diligence to do so.
This it is believed gives away any claim
American property owners in Cuba might
otherwise have for damages. 1t has been
this question Of sacrificing the property
which Americans hold in Cuba, that has
been urgently pressed as reason why
this country should not recognize the
Cuban insurgents. 1t now appears to
have been removed. Indeed it has not
existed since last July when Mr.. Uhl's
letter Was written, if his Interpretation of
the law is to be accepted.

Presidential Electors Must all be
Chosen in State Convention.

RgPUBLIcAH STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE. JAN. IS, 1896.

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, CORES pond
ing to the two United States senators, were
nominated in State convention, and the re-
naming electors, corresponding to the mem
bers of the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the proc edure. Under the law
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that can
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomIna-
ton by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence all
the candidates of party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.
