the stirring event that will occur IN

NO REST FOR wEYLER.

General Weyier's decision to sus
pend active military operations during
the rainy season is Likely to prove 3
reckoning without his host, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Unless all signs
fail, the plans OF the. insurgents will
compel greater military activity on the
part of the Spanish troops during the
next three months than they have yeI
shown during this war. Gomez,
Maceo and Garcia are not afraid of the
rainy season or the fevers, and it is
evident their plans are laid for active
operations. The withdrawal Of tie
Spaniards TO the fortified towns will
give their %peaceable sy~mpathizers full
opportunity to produce rations from
the soil without being disturbed by
villainous "regulars" or. equally in
humane guerrillas, SO they will moi
lack sustenance.
The seclusion of the troops in the
towns will also favor the landing OF
arms and munitions, which have been,
all along, the greatest need Ct the Gu
ban patriots. But without this further
equipment the insurgents are appar-
emily able to make the rainy season
campaign as active and interesting as
they have planned. The attack upon
the Havana water works is one evil
dence of their ability, and the news d
the battle at Santiago is strong con.
firmation. That engagement was re.
ported from Havana as q victory fol
| Spain, but a courier in New York de-
scribes it as q rout for the Spanish in
which they lost 500 men and were dis
lodged from a fortified position.
This news is significant OF the new
policy and conscious strength of the
insurgents. The Santiago sffsir is the
second attack they have made upon
the fortified positions of the Spaniards
which they so carefully avoided
throughout the campaigns of last sum.
mer and winter. The other attack was
recently made by Garcia in the eastern
end of the island, and though the news
from there has been meager it tells of
a Cuban victory. These battles are
eloquent upon the improved equip
ment of the Cuban troops and bode ill
to Weyler's intended rest during the
unhealthy season. He may be glad If
the rumor that Campos is to ret1rn is
true, though Campos will be of no
more use than he, unless his mission Is
to secure a cessation OF hostilIties with
the least possible Gust and humiliatio n
to the Madrid government.

THE PLATFORM.

The republican platform just framed
at st. Louis, is one which every repub-
lican in The United States should be
proud to support. 1t is true that silver
men do not like the money plank, bat
it was not expected that the platform
could or would attempt to please all.
When the majority of the party's
representatives was eight to n for
gold, and it i5 known that these men
represented all classes from all sections
of the country, it is a most convincing
argument that the country is not so
situated, that it can declare for free
silver and prosper. We believe out
here, that silver should be coined at a
ratio of 16 TO l.; we believe that no
sooner than the United States would SO
declare it to be that, the price OF silver,
all over the world, would Immediately
advance, and Is to | would not be a
fictitious value merely. But the great
mass of the republican party believe
otherwise, and we are willing to fight
with them this year, and abide by
the result. The republican party has
ever kept its promises and has ever
been a blessing to the entire country
when it was in power. We are will
ing to trust 10 its wisdom again.
There are two planks in the plat
form which are of more vital import
ance to New Mexico than the MONEY
plank, and they are the wool and wool
ems plank, and the territories plank.
The first is:
To all our ~products-to those of the mine
and fell as well as to those of the shop
and fa~ctory-to hemp, to wool, the pro-
duct of the great industry Of sheep hus-
bandry, as well as to the finished woolens
of the mill-we promise the most ample
protection.
This plank is the one that will bring
substantial prosperity to New Mexico.
1t was. OF course, expected CT the re-
publican party, which has always stood
for this protection.
The second is:
We favor the admission Of the remaining
territories at the earliest practicable date,
having due regard to the interests Of the
people Of the territories and the United
States. All the federal officers appointed
for the territories should be elected from |
bona fida residents thereof, and the right
of self government should be accorded as
far as practicable.
We believe the citizens of Alaska should
have representation in the congress of the
United States, to the end that needful leg
~islation may be %intelligently enacted.
This can be construed in no other
than that, If the republican party is
successful at the polls this fall, state
hood will be given to the territory Of
New Mexico.
Give US protection on our wool, and
statehood, which means the speedy
settlement Of all the vexing grant
questions, aud an influx of foreign
capital to develop our mines and to
build railroads, and New Mexico can
afford to wait until the east becomes
educated on the money question. |,
