that. although the Government OF. Spain
recognizes the absolute independence of

employed by some of the Senators in the

ing arbitrary cruelties to the authorities
in Cuba. The Premier will also contend
that the pretensions of the Cuban rebels
are ridiculous and that their savagery
merits the condemnation of all civilized
nations. He will also show that instead of
conducting legitimate warfare, the rebels
burn, rob. and murder on all sides ana
upon exery occasion flee before the Span

hold possession of a town or even a noun

not to be regarded as upon an equality

,ent very pleasant week in this country

ssted in favor of emigrants from other
Ountries of even less intelligence. 1t is
rue that we have Disseminated against

WASHINGTON LETTER.

A Weekly Budget of interesting news
from the Capital.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.--Republican
confidence has never wavered in the
triumphant election of Mckinley and
Hobart, the maintenance Of the public
credit and of our constitutional legal
tribunals, and the restoration OF the
prosperity Of our country. Every week
since the republican national convention
met has added materially to the strength
of that confidence. The principal event,
of course, in the current week was the
unprecedented republican majority in
Vermont, an emphatic aud convincing
answer to the claims Of the pOpocrats
that sentiment in favor of the free and
independent coinage of silver at ratio
Of 16 to / was increasing among the
farmers and wOrkingmen Of the eastern
and middle states. 1t is probable that
a larger percentage of the voting pop
ulation of Vermont can properly be
classed as farmers and wOrkingmen than
of any other state in the east. Look at
the vote, and try to discover the alleged
silver sentiment. The campaign in the
State was fought entirely on national
lines, the republicans standing squarely
upon the st. Louis platform and the
democrats upon the Chicago platform.
and the republicans received the largest
majority ever given in a state election,
and the largest since the war in any
election, Secretary Mercer, of the re-
publican congressional committee says
of this great result; ''It means that the
conservative people Of this country pro-
pose to turn out in strength at every
polling precinct of the land and register
a ballot for sound money, natural pros
perity and good government. | take the
increased vote of Vermont as an indi-
cation that the vote to be cast in Novem
ber will be one Of the largest ever pOllet
in this country, and believe the victory
for sound money will be in just about
the same proportion as the republican
victory in Vermont.
