The last Maceo has been seen on the
battlefield, and this feeble tribute to
the noble general is not out of place.

President Cleveland's message
manifests the usual weakness of that
gentleman-the lack of backbone.
His statement of the Cuban question
was lengthy article of artful dodg-
ing, and never once hitting the point
squarely. He recommended delay in
one sentence-not stating how long,
while in another breath he admitted
that the Cubans were stronger pow
or than during the Ten Years War.
He never touched upon the Hawaiian
Islands matter, and attempts to steal
public thunder by threatening to FORE
close on the U. P. railroad. The lat
ter may be proper, but what the
American people want, and they want
it very quick, is more backbone on for
eign questions. To almost a man

the ranks by reason of his brilliant
military exploits. He was with his
father when the latter was shot on the

vengence on the Spaniards to his sons.
They have kept it. Antonio refused
to sign the treaty of Peace at the close

THE TEXAS STEAL.

There are other things aside from
the foreign policy of the outgoing
President that will contribute to the
pronounced failure of his second adj
ministration. The foreign policy is
alone bad enough, alone weak enough,
but coupling it with the notorious
bond issue and the notorious Texas
warship outrage, the administration
will pass out of existence as one of the
most supine and disastrous ever in
augurated since the foundation of the
Republic.
The bond issue was nothing more
than bond steal. It was forced up
on the administration by shrewd money
men, possibly not without the admin
istration's desire, or without it having
deprived some private pecuniary as
sistance. It was the final financial
act of tottering ADMINISTRATION, unable
longer to hold together, except by an
appeal to the capital of this and for
eign countries.

be brought about. If Congress is rep
resentative it will not wait for Cleve-
land; it will not listen to the penny

the bankers of the East, but it will,

FREE CUBA STRONGER.

|
Gen. Antonio Maceo pronounced
Math-yo), the lieutenant commander
of the Army of Liberation for Cuba,
and one of the most brilliant generals
and daring soldiers of his age, was
treacherously murdered and assassin
ated by the Spaniards on Dec. 9TH
last. He was called under a flag of
truce by the Spanish cut-throat and
assassin, Gen. Ahmuda, with the full
knowledge and assent of the butcher
Weyler, to arrange for the establish
ment of Cuban independence. With
his staff he appeared at the appointed
time, when the Spanish cut-tnroats
fell upon and murdered Maceo, as
we'll as nearly his entire staff. Maceo's
physician was the Judas that betrayed
him.
The assassination of Maceo is but
another chapter to add to the career
of Spanish outrages perpetrated ever
since that monarchy commenced los
ing her American possessions. Her
whole history has been one of murder,
cruel and inhuman outrages, upon her
people from whom she has always at
tempted to suck the last drop of ife's
blood. 1t was treachery, clear and
simple, disguised by the Spanish press
censor at Havana until the true facts
leaked out by passengers from Ha-
vana or through Cuban sources
But the assassination of Maceo
means additional strength for the
Cubans. Maceo dead is better than
Maceo living under those circumstance
es. The murder of the brilliant gen.
eral has shocked the civilized portions
of the world. Already has magnif-
cent aid been rendered the patriots;
already have thousands of young men
from the United States registered their
intention to at once enlist and take up
arms for the liberation of the Queen of
the Antilles; already have cries of
sympathy come from France and 9TH
er Republics. Aud it is not improb--
able that Congress will take definite
action, or force President Cleveland to
take definite action before March 4th
next, when Maj Mckinley will I'M
doubtedly put stop to the fight. and
assert the independence of the Island.

with the worthless battle-ship Texas
is but another chapter of rottenness to
add to the stencil of the administra-
ton. Ever since the ship was placed
on trial the examining board had full
knowledge of it's deficiency, yet 10
screen the administration, it recon-
mended that the ship was a mighty
one, that it be accepted, and that the
American people be plundered out of
100000. That much money was
sunk in the mud down at Brooklyn or
Newport News. The officers of the
navy, the press correspondents, and
others have been quiet about the mat
ter, for fear of being in disfavor with
the administration. The ship is worth
less, and will have to be entirely re-
constructed.
1t was big steal, in which, if there
was an investigation other than a
"whitewash," we have no doubt many
prominent men would become involv-
ed. The steal may pass into history
without the searchlight being turned
upon it but two or three such steals
will not be tolerated by the American
people without some one being brought
to grief.

FREE COINAGE SENTIMENT IN THE WEST.
Ii is most interesting tn note the rapidity
with which the wave Of iree coinage senti-
ment in the West has been steadily subsding
since the beginning of the present Congress.
With the exception of the mining States, it is
extremely doubtful whether, upon an open
vote Il proposition for free and independent
coinage of silver would pass to-day in any of
the States between the Missouri and the
Pacific. The earnest discussion Of the nnan.
cial question by the Republican press. the
equally earnest work Of the Administration
and o! Secretary Carlisle, the Iabors of Boards
of Trade and Chambers of Commerce. and
the flood of literature bearing upon fho sub
Ject which has gone out during the past six
months into nearly every village and hamlet
OF the West is responsible for this change in
opinion. Nothing seems more certain than
that the Republican Convention at st. Louis
will adopt Il platform opposing the free
