THE CUBAN QUESTION.

The reported death of General MaCeo,
leader of the Cuban revolutionary
army, aroused Congress and the people
anew on the subject of Cuban indie
pendence. 1t was alleged that the
death of Msceo was brutal in the ex-
treme, and that it was brought about
through treschery. This, added to the
Well-RdVertised bsrbsrities of the Span
ish sOldiery, seemed to fill the measure
Of atrocities for which Americans, as
neighbors and friends, must wait be-
fore taking measures to put an end to
that inhuman war.
Concerning the Cuban question as q
general proposition, there is no differ
ence Of opinion among people of the
United States. That the people of that
island are entitled to be free and inde-
pendent is as clear to our people az the
freedom Of the American colonies was
clear to the patriots of the Revolution.
No nation has any right, except such
as force gives, to rule another people.
The King Of Spain has no better right
to own Cuba and rule her people, than
the Governor of Massachusetts, has to
own Kansas and govern her people.
So do we all agree that the fighting
in Cuba ought to cease, that order
ought to be restored, that personal and
property rights ought to be respected,
and that self government ought to be
accorded the people. But what ought
we to do In order to bring these things

RIGHTS OF APPLICANTS FOR POSITIONS.
A good deal is being said in Kansas
newspapers at this time In q derislve
way about candidates for appointment
under the Populist administration
One would be led to believe that it was
@ heln0us offense to ask for office,
Many Republican papers seem to take
this view Of the matter, yet the same
papers take the matter of q couple Of
dozen applicants for the local post
office as q perfectly legitimate and
proper affair.
It is true that there are large num-
bers Of applicants for position under
the new Popullst administration. Most
Of them have, by their work for the
cause, their fidelity to principle and
their excellent character and qualifica.
tion justly earned recognition. 1t is
also true that there are those who have
no reasonable claim for preferment,
but this class Is comparatively small.
There are also those who ask for posi-.
tions for which they are not qualified
but who are well fitted for other places.

IT has been suggested that the Leg.
islsture prepare and pass q mlscells-
neous appropriation bill early In the
session, the bill to include all claims
before the Ways and Means committee
to which there Is no objection. Then
later In the session let such remaining
claims as are deemed meritorlous by
the committee be put In another bill,
and If the customary number Of steals
are In Cluded, then members need not
hesitate about voting against the en-
tire bill, as nearly all necessary items
win have been included In the first one.
Let US have no appropriations which
are not absolutely necessary and for

some point on the Iron Mountain Rail-
road. OF course he wanted your scribe
to take a little stock in the GRAND EN-
TERPRIsE-enought to buy a part of the
walnut logs-but we thought it best to
wait until we heard the whistle toot-
toot! But we failed to hear the toot,
or see any sparks from the smokestack,
and consequently never brought any
walnut. We were not surprised to
learn of III. Lowenstein's disconnection
with the Wooden factory.
