MAY 1T BE FALSE.

lt,is to be hoped the reports of
the killing of Maceo may-proye un-
true. His loss would be a serious
blow to the insurgents, though there
is no reason why other patriots as
brave and generels as daring should
not come forward to fill his place
Generally circumstances call not in
vain for men, but, on the contrary,
men are nearly always at hand to
wait on opportunity and perform
heroic deeds.
Cuba may win her independence
without Maceo, though she might
win it more speedily with him. Out
side of this view of the case one can
not but feel that Maceo deserves to
liYe to see the accomplishment of his
desires. in Cuba free. No other has
done 50 much as he, and none de-
serve the reward of accomplished de-
sIres as does ,Maceo. For nearly
thirty years free Cuba has been his
dream, and at all times he has worked
to accomplish that end. We can
hardly believe that Fate will DENY
him reward so hardly earned, and
we hope that he may live. to see his
beloved island free from Spain.

FREE LANcES.

Senators Dubois, Teller and the
other Republican senators who bolt
ed the St. Louis platform refused
yesterday to take part in the Repub-
lican caucus, thus reading themselves
out of the party. This does not
seem like good politics, for they all
freely concede that, except on the
silver question, they are in hearty
accord with the Republican party.
If they expect to accomplish any,
thing, they expect to do SO with the
aid of the other senators, hence their
refusal to take part in the caucus is
declaration of war. and a threat to
hold up all legislation until some
thing. is done for silver. In the
meanwhile the other senators adopt a
resolution favoring the appointment
of a committee of five to prepare
some plan for getting another blme-
tallic worlds congress.
We can see nothing to be gained
by the action of the silver men, and
their conduct implies that they ex-
pect nothing. They are simply lot
of free-lances, ready to run tilt on
everything and everybody until they
get what they want. The result will
be disastrous to themselves only.
