Business Of Their Own To Attend To.

The anxiety displayed by that as
piring Indiana candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination at Chicago. Gov.
Matthews, to convince his party that
he is really a free silver man. shows
very plainly what he expects the DEM
ocrats to adopt for currency plank
1t is also noticeable, as showing which
way the tide is setting in the Demo-
cratic party, that the sound money fac
tion is already beginning to talk about
boiling the ticket if it is nominated
upon a free silver plank Gov. Alt
geld says the Illinois Democrats will
declare almost unanimously for free
coinage, although he admits major
ity of the national committee is made
up of gold bugs" who will try and
unseat silver delegates. In short there
is very little to lead one to suppose
the advice of Ex-Gov. Campbell of
Ohio, that whichever faction triumphs
the result should be unanimously ac-
cepted. is to prevail at Chicago.
Meanwhile could not the Democratic
sound money editors and chieftains
find something better to do than to
bother their heads with vain imagin-
ings respecting what the Republicans
will do at St Louis?

senting from all the other members o.
the court in the opinion that stats
has right to compel whites and blacks
to ride in separate railroad cars. On
one or two occasions Justice Harlan
has shown, what some have termed
Populistic tendencies, but with
him we fail to see why
state has not as much right 70
make negro sympathizers ride In one
car and negro haters in another as TO
draw color line. Moreover TINS de-
cision would seem to foreshadow de-
csion favorable to the Sheats law IN
Florida, in case the matter comes TO
that court. 1t has been generally
understood that those, who have con-
tributed. many thousands of dollars Tor
the education Of the colored children
would seek from the courts protection
of white teachers, that have been ar
rested for teaching colored children.
Has not a state as much or
police right to prevent white people
from teaching colored people as to for
bid colored person from riding in
car with white people when he has paid
fer first class ticket?

Spain Should be Treated With Firmncss

Sensational reports concerning the
belligerent attitude of General Weyler
toward this country because of in
reference in his brutal programme for
shooting the men taken from the Com
petitor, are no doubt founded upon
some truth. We do not apprehend war
with Spain, however. nor did we be-
lieve that Spain would resort to any
such extremity II this country recog-
nized the insurgents as belligerents.
Indeed the present administra ton has
dealt far more hesitatingly with Spain
than did the Grant administration. If
war results it will probably arise as
much on account of the apparent
timidity of President Cleveland as from
any other cause. There is little doubt
but that Secretary Olney took active
steps to prevent the shooting of the
American citizens taken from the Com
petitor. He could scarcely do less.
1t is said that Consul General Will
liams had a stormy interview with
Weyler when he notified him that the
United States protested against the
summary treatment of the American
prisoners, and finally was obliged to
announce to him that IF you shoot
them, my government instructs me to
close it's consulate here and demand my
passports, as we shall most certainly
hold you and your government respon-
sible should these prisoners be executed
before our protest be given due consid-
Grafton" We can easily believe the re-
port that there was excitement at the
palace following this announcement
the administration prior to that could
have led Weyler to expect anything
less.
1t will be remembered that in the
previous outbreak, President Grant
through the advice of Secretary Fish
did not recognize the insurgents as
belligerents. There was hope at that
time that Spain would grant reforms to
the island and that the insurgents
would accept them. Nevertheless both
the President and his secretary were
firm and steadfast in their position and
demands. There was no shuffling, nc
intimation that this country would
yield an inch of ground taken and very
plain intimations that it reserved the
right to take ground, which if assumed
today would send the do-nothings into
Mysteries. AS early as 1869 President
Daily Kennebec journal., 1896-05-20

Grant notified Spain that Cuba woult
not be regarded as subject to transfer
from one European power to another
In his annual message OF 1875 he gave
Spain to understand that unless peace
was patched up speedily this country
would regard 1t duty to interfere II
the interests OF humanity. On Feb. 9th
1874, Secretary Fish wrote to Minister
Gushing that 1.-The desire of indepen-
dence on the part of the Cubans Is a
natural and legitimate aspiration OF
theirs, because they are Americans
And while such independence is the
manifest exigency of the political in
forests of the Cubans themselves. 1t is
equally SO of the rest of America, in
Guiding the United States.
What din such a statement by
Secretary Olney would cause in certain
quarters of this country today.

A NEW SWEDISH SETTLEMENT.
TO be Founded North Of Caribou by Hon
W. W. Thomas and the Burleiuhs.

Now ii is proposed to establish in
northern Maine another colony oi
Swedes similar to the flourishng settle
ment of New Sweden. Hon. William
Widgery Thomas is the prime mover in
the project and his coadjutors are
President A. A. Burleigh of the Bangor
& Aroostook railroad and his sons Pres
ton n and Parker =. In founding the
original colony of Swedes, the elder
Parker p. Burleigh was MIR. Thomas
chief assistant as State land agent.
The State no longer has valuable
townships to bestow upon settlers and
the land for. the new town must be pur-
chased from private proprietors. a
township north of Caribou in the
vicinity of New Sweden has already
been surveyed by the Burleighs and
| nearly $4,000 has been offered for the
property.
Although the land is not very valu-
able for stumpage. the owners are un-
willing to sell. but when they fully
realize the purpose of the purchase.
they will. ii is hoped. come to terms.
If township can be secured the rail-
road will be extended through the sec
ton by the Burleichs, lots will be laid
out and highways made in readiness
for the settlers. who will come from
Sweden, from the west and from New
Sweden and Jemptland, large part OF
which is owned by the Burleighs. The
new town will probably be named
Thomas.
The next town that will be developed
is Westland. south of Pres1ue Isle
This property is owned by Hon Parker
+. Burleigh. The Bangor & Arostook
road runs through it and the land is
without doubt the most desirable un-
settled territory in Aroostook at the
present time. The township will be
lotted out in the near future and sold
on reasonable terms to settlers.

Reversion Of Tyne, Or What7

About half dozen young men. well
| dressed and apparently well bred
were seen. recently. sneaking about
! the entrance to a building. Soon an
other young man, evidently of as good
standing in the community as those

one and after brief struggle the one
succumbed. The six did not proceed

types, as exemplified in their person
balistic ancestry. They simply gagged

| tufts which they left to wave and
painted his features a bright ver-
million. This performance would seem
to indicate that the reversion of type
extended no further back than ances-
tors who wore war locks and admired
war paint

treated young man caught some
friends of the six young men and
treated them to similar disfigure-
type on their part to the savagery.

revenge is equally good if wreaked

Now these performances, related
above. were followed by an assault
of body of young men upon another
body of young men who were holding

but threw rotten eggs and brckbats

All this occurred. not among rival
