Augustus Fourth OF July Celebration.

Since the proposition to have mann
moth Fourth of July celebration in this
city, was first made the Journal has
had no doubt but that it would ma
terialize into grand and glorious sue
cess, for at its inception it caught the
popular fancy. Those whose memories
of local events encompass a decade
well remember how great jubilation
there was when Augusta last gave the
eagle the freedom of the city With full
permission to scream it's loudest: how
red hot patriotism expanded and ex-
tended until all the county and every
thing adjoining became affected by it
and the residents thereof poured into
the capital city to participate in the
patriotism, powder and peanuts; how
thoroughly enjoyable the celebration
was and how successfully every detail
was carried out according to the pro-
gramme. 1t is time for repetition
of that success, enlarged to suit our
enlarged ideas and capacity, to be
sure. but imbued with just that sort of
fervor and hurrah and '1776" Those
of the Journal readers who will look
over the list of Augusta citizens that
subscribe 500 each for such a celebra-
tion-and the list is probably incom-
plete, while the number who will give
much, though less in amount. is sure
to be long one-will possibly be sur
prised unless they happen to be ac-
quainted with the way our people have
of going down into their pockets when
the occasion demands, and they are
aroused to the demand. Barring bad
weather the Fourth of July, 1896. is to
see the greatest celebration in Au-
gusta that ever banished the sluggish

Cuban Reform" a DeIusion and Snare.

Murat Halstead, since his visit to
Cuba. several months since, has written
very conservative articles upon the
Cuban question. While there he had
opportunity to make the acquaintance
of Gen. Weyler and to hear all the
Spanish arguments. but did not visit
the insurgents and it is doubtful if
during his stay in Havana. he had the
opportunity of listening to many glow
ing recitals by avowed adherents of
that cause. These circumstances lend
specting the alleged reforms Spain is
willing to offer Cuba, and which it is
presumed the Cleveland administration
is lending it's influence to bring about.
OF these he says: I'VE have studied
those reforms, and there is nothing in
them the Cubans can afford to con-
slider as remedies for the inveterate
evils of disagreement. There is a
Council of Administration in the
plan. That is the great reform feature.
Half the Council is appointed by the
captain general, and the other half
are gross grievance; and then the
captain general can suspend the coun-
Gil, and hang it up or put aside any
measures it adopts for revision at
Madrid. There is not even a little bit
of home rule for Cubans in it. Accord
ing to the reform everything would re-
main in the hands of the captain-ge
eral'
In the light of the above statement
which we believe is conservative, is
seen the falsity of the premises in the
speech, which the Queen Regent of
Spain addressed to the Cortes this
week. In that document she as
cribed the revolution to a fear on the
part of the malcontents that the re-
forms Spain intended to make in Cuba
would destroy all hope of revolution
and so they inaugurated a war for in
dependence. She proceeds to proffer
with the permission of the Cortes, all
manner of liberty for Cuba, after-wise
provision-the instruction shall be put
down! We believe all this is delu-
sion and snare. 1t cannot be for
gotten that Spain is on the verge of
bankruptcy and she will be Obliged to
resort to extortion in Cuba, if she gets
the opportunity. in order to save her
self. Spanish reforms in Cuba will
then consist as they have in the past

Tom Reed is the Best.

We still think it will be best for
Maryland to vote for Mr. Reed He is
the greatest man in public life today.
He is the only creative statesman we
have in Congress. He has shown to
the country his splendid parliamentary
genius his remarkable grasp of the
business interests of the country, his
undertaking allegiance to the progress
and prosperity of the nation People
admire him and trust him. He is all
right on the money question, and on
every other question which will enter
into the campaign. 1t is clear that the
contest at the polls will be largely a
contest between the candidates, and in
this event no man would stand the

American Citizens in Cuba,

Practically the same treaty arrange
ments between Spain and this country
We're evaded in the Virginius affair
twenty years ago, that were evaded by
the court martial which condemned to
death the crew of the schooner Com
petitor, recently, a decision, which for
obvious reasons Spain deemed it pru-
dent to set aside, despite the protests
of Gen. Weyler. This protocol provides
against trial by Exceptional tribunal"
such as by court martial, of a class of
offenders, which this government be-
lieves to include the offenders taken
from the Competitor. In evading this,
resort was had to techncalties one of
which, it is said, was that the men are
guilty of piracy under the Latin law.
Assuredly they are not under any law
of piracy upon our statutes, and if
guilty according to Spanish law there
remains no reason Why they should not
be tried, according to both the treaty
Of 1895 and that of 1877, by the ordinary
tribunal. Piracy isn't to be tried by
court martial. even in time of war, and
Spain does not acknowledge that there
is war in Cuba. There being no war in
| the slightest ground, that we can see,
