Secretary of State Olney has an
nounced, presumably under instruc-
tons or with full approval of the ad-
ministration, that even should Con-
gress pass resolutions recognizing
Cuban independence, and pass them
over the Presidents veto, which
would certainly be necessary, the
President would still refuse to act.
Secretary Olney says that it is be
yond the power of Congress to act.
The purpose of the announcement is
to quiet the rumors of W ar with Spain.
1t was received, as expected, with a
storm of protest from the champions
of Cuba's cause in Congress. Threats
of impeachment of President Cleve-
land and Secretary Olney are harm
less, for even were there time for an
impeachment before the change of
administration. March 4, the conser
natives IN Congress are numerous
enough to defeat it. Secretary
Olney's announcement may, there
fore, be accepted as practically end
ing the Cuban matter for this Con-
gress and this administration at
least.
In 1883 President Cleveland issued
a proclamation eXempting German
vessels from tonnage dues in Ameri-
can ports. This proclamation was
made on the strength of the allega-
ton that no tonnage or lighthouse
dues We're imposed upon our vessels
in German ports. 1t now appears
that such dues are imposed on Amer
lean vessels, and the President re-
Gently issued proclamation revok-
ing the proclamation of 1883. In
view of the fact that the tax or
American vessels at six cents a tor
would amount to about $500 per year
and the same tax on German vessels
entering American ports would
amount to $4,000, Germany has moi
gained much by breaking faith witt
Uncle Sam.

Enrique Jose Alvarez, the Boston rep
resentative OF the Cuban junta, is grad
uate OF Bucksport seminary. His duty is
not to enlist men. for the United States
would not permit that, but there is moth
ing to prevent him telling men who wish
to help or to fight for Cuba " hat to do
and how to go. 1t is stated that 800 men
have gone to Cuba from the vicinity OF
Boston, through information received
from Alvarez. He is only thirty-four
wears old.

John T. Leach, of Mort Castine, sends
The AMERICAN an interesting relic in
the shape of a piece of wood from the
old Massachusetts war snip "Skyrocket".
The ship mounted sixteen guns, mostly
FOUNDERS, and carried 120 men. She
was commanded by Capt. Burk. When
the Americans made their disastrous re-
treat from the siege of Bagaduce, Aug. Il,
1873, the "Skyrocket" was set on fire by
her own crew and abandoned near Fort
Point. The crew fled through the woods
to the Kennebec river. The burning ship
drifted down before a northwest wind
and sank in Morse's Cove, Penobscot. The
piece of wood sent us was taken from the
wreck by MIR. Leach on Dec. 9, 1896.

Whom Cain Married..

The following interesting item was
contributed to the New York Sun of
recent date:
In a recent issue of your Sunday
edition, a party asked: Whom did
Cain marry? He married his sister.
Her name was Ripha. This St. Chrys-
ostom says, was the tradition of the
Jews of his time. This information may
be found in Duprion's concordance of
the Holy Bible".
Genesis, v. a, says of Adam: "And
he begot sons and daughters. Josephus
says that Adam and Eve had thirty-three
sons and thirty-two daughters. The sons
of u first parents married their sisters.
The Old Testament vas written as a
preparation for the coming of Christ,
and the history Of personages who did
not typify Him or relate to Him are not
given. The holy and innocent Abel was
a figure of Christ who was killed by his
brethren, and Cain and Abel and their
histories are related, while nothing is
said of the other children.
1t may be of interest to your many read
ers to know the exact meanings of the
names of the patriarchs who lived from
Adam to Noe, as follows: Adam, MAN
in the image of God" or 'the Reasoning
being"; Seth, Substituted by"; Enos,
"Frail man.; Canaan, "Lamenting fell";
Malaleel, "The Blessed Cod; Jared,
"Shall come down.; Henoch, "The
Teacher; Methusalah, His death shall
send"; Lamech, "To the humble; Noe,
Rest or Consolation. Now putting
these English meanings of the Hebrew
names together we have the following:
"Man in the image of God, substituted
by Frail man, Lamenting fell, The
Blessed God, Shall come down, The
Teacher. His death shall send. To the
humble, Rest or Consolation.
Here i'll the very names of the great
fathers of our race before the flood, we
find a revelation of the fall Of mankind,
the sorrows of sin, the incarnation of
Christ, how He will come as a Teacher,
His death, His redemption, given to the
humble ones who will receive His Teach
ings, and the rest and consolation of
peace from wars and the blessings of
civilization.
These are but a few of the wonderful
things the student finds in the Holy
Bible.

THE interest that is being aroused in
state politics by the press Is destined ,
we be..cve. 10 result in good to the Re-
publican party and advantage to the
state. Attention has beer directed to the
fact that combinations undoubtedly ex-
ist. and that states have been made, and
that the work of the coming convention
has beer anticipated and "fxed'. The
danger of such politics has been her
aided abroad over the state, and even
the politicians are thinking and that
right seriously. The very probable dis
aster which may result to the party
should we fail to nominate clean, able
and representative men at the coming
convention, and the combine or gang
be allowed to carry out their personal
schemes. is being appreciated and felt
by those who keep their ears close to the
ground, and there are healthful indica-
tons that a determined, earnest effort
will be made at the coming convention
to in a measure wipe off old scores and
begin anew Wise and patriotic lead
ers are beginning to realize that the good
of the commonwealth and the honor
and success of the party are at stake in
a real measure in the outcome of the
convention of neXt July; and it is safe
and judicious for the press, the people
and even the politicians to continue in
pressing the vital importance of this

REPUBLICAN TICKET
MEMORIAL PROCLAMATION.

The goth day of May in each recurring year
has been set apart and established by the
Grand Army of the Republic as a perpetual
Memorial day for its deceased comrades.
On that day it is the custom of the surviving

propriate exercises, then proceed to the re-
spective burial places and strew beautiful
flowers on the graves of their departed com
rades.
To the end that Memorial day may be duly
observed in the city of McCook, | request that
all business places be closed at noon on the
goth day of May, 1896, and remain closed un-
til the Memorial exercises are concluded and
the citizens abstain from all but necessary
labor during that time and assist in the Me-
mortal services of the day.
AS a further mark of respect to the memory
of these fallen heroes flags will be placed at
half mast upon all public buildings of the
city.
