WELLINGTON, O., DECEMBER l6, 1896.
THE PRESIDENT AND CUBA.

That portion of President Cleveland s
message in which he discusses the Cuban
question will meet with the views OF the
great mass Of thoughtful citizens who
look at the present situation In Cuba. A
great and powerful nation cannot inter-
fere with the right Of another govern
ment to subdue an insurrecti0n, when
the insurgents have not even assumed
the character of an independent civil
government. The rights OF nations are
governed by treaties, which constitute
The code of national law. Viewing mat
ters from this standpoint the president is
correct in saying that there Is but one
government in Cuba, and that Is the
government of Spain. The insurgents
nave no civil government in fact. Theirs
is purely military, sustained by force OF
arms, and migrating with the move
ment Of their armies. While the Presl-
dent comedies the rightful sympathy OF
our citizens with those who are 0p-
pressed by Spanish rule, he is not will
ing to involve us in international war,
by involving US in International law.
He proposes the peaceful aid OF the
United States in securing from Spain a
forIn of self government for Cuba, based
on just principles, that will enable the
dependency to regulate their own dOmes--
tic affairs, and guaranty on the part OF
this nation that the Cubans shall fulfill
their part of the contract. 1t is hoped
that an end will soon come to the strife.
GEO. G. WASHBURN.
Reporter.
The above is what this paper has ad-
vocated from the beginning of the
trouble. The innocent people on the
island have and will suffer untold perse-
cutions, but it is one of the cases when
it will not do to interfere, unless it be to
first offer suggestions to the authorities
in Spain for peaceful solution Of the
question.

ANOAh eAO Ce~PAS---'
WASHINGTON, Dec. l1.-Although the
six bOlting senators Teller, Pettigrew,
Dubois, Cannon, Squire and Mantle-de-
clined to avail themselves Of the invita-
ton to attend the caucus Of republican
senators, four out Of the five who are in
Washington Mr.. Teller hasn't arrived
have declared themselves to still be re-
publicans upon everything except the
silver question. Senator Dubois says he
is out of the republican party for good
and all and announces in advance that
he would vote against the Dingley bill if
it were brought to a vote and intimates
rather strongly that he would vote
against anything that originates on the
republican side of the senate. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Dubois is playing to the
prejudices of the anti-repuplican MEM
bera Of the Idaho Legislature, in order to
save himself from being retired to pri-
vata life.
The republican house is keeping up
the record it made at the last session as
a business body. 1t has already passed
the pension appropriation bill, a bill
allowing the use of private postal cards
with one cent stamps used on them, a
bill providing for limited indemnity of
$40 for the loss Of registered mail matter,
bill authorizing private letter carriers
in villages where there is no free delivery
and a number Of minor bills, including
some private pensions.
Speaker Reed and Chairman Hanna
met for the first time, in the speakers
private Office at the capitol, this week
and very cordial meeting it was on
both sides, according to the six or eight
prominent republicans who were pres
ent. Mr.. Hanna has made many new
friends during his shOrtStayin Washing
ton and some of those who made his ac-
quaintance ayeaverydifferent idea Of the
kind of man he is than they had before
coming in contact with him. Although
it is the general opinion of those who
have talked with Mr.. Hanna that he will
not be a member Of the cabinet, he ex-
pressed such liking for Washington
that some think that he will be unable
to stand the temptation of four years
residence in the city.

A case was decided by the circuit court
in Cleveland last week affirming the yer.
dict Of the lower court, which held that
the proprietors and premises were re-
sponsible for judgments obtained for
the return Of money lost by gambling.
If the case is affirmed by the supreme
court it will be hard blow to property
owners who have leased their premises tC
gambling sharks, but it will doubtless
be the means Of causing property owners
to be more careful in the future.
