CURRENT COMMENT.
WHO ARE THE FRIENDS OF Nc
KINLEY?
New York Sun }

Not the persons who are constantly try
ing to breed hatred between the two fore.
most Republicans; they are not Major
Mckinley S friends.
One Of their favorite expedieuts is to
start reports that when the ifty-fif5h
House of Representatives assemblies,
either in extra session next spring or ut
the regular time Of meeting, year
hence, there will be an attempt to depose
the Hon. Thomas B. Reed # Maine from
the exalted office which he has earnoa by
service and holds By virtue Of command
ing merit.
This demonstration against the Speak
er is TO be made by "the friends of Mo
kinley" by running for Speaker some
distinctively Mckinley man, preferably
Gen. GTOsvenor OF Ohio.
We observe that with great good sense
Gen. Gr0svenor has taken the trouble to
deny this yarn, and to say squarely that
he expects the election of Mr.. Reed as
Speaker of the Fifty fifth Congress.
On general grounds it may safely be
predicted that the friends of Major Nc
Kinley will not engage in any such en-
terprise; and this for three excellent reas-
ops:
First, the "friends of Mckinley prob
ably could not prevent Mr.. Reeds re-
election if they tried;
Secondly, they would not want to pre-
vent it, if they could;
Thirdly, if they wanted to prevent it,
and attempted to prevent it, they would
only prove that they were not Major Nc
Kinley's friends, but his enemies.
We take it for granted that the friends
of Mckinley are the men who wish him
well and desire the success OF his admin
istration fer the sake of the country and
its prosper ity; and this class includes
nearly every American citzen worthy
of the name, without regard to political
nomenclature; but the promoters of
trouble within the Republican party at
this stime do not answer to that desorip-
ton.

government in Cuba would be much SLOW
or to advise that policy II they thoughS
their advice would be decisive. 1t is one
thing to shout for war when the shout
ing has no considerable effect to bring
war about, and quius another thing to

dent of the United States, and though
he can not declare war yet an omolai
declaration from him that he believed
that active interference by us at this
time in Cuba was proper and
wise policy would do much to
bring war about. He feels the weight OF
responsibility pressing upon him, and II
makes him cautious as it would any
rational and sensible man.
The Cuban war presents to the United
States very grave problem, ana the
rerson or persons who are charged with
tic solution may well move cautiously
and circumspectly. There can be little
ouestion that active interference by us i'll
Cuba would involve us in
war with Spain. To be sure

Snain and the United States. But even

hence a conflict with Spain might cost

there is possibility that Spain might
get the assistance of some European
State, for there are several which are
jealous of our growing strength an

HOUSE LOTS IN RING
The Very Cream of it All.

VyHE scarcity of good building lots in de-
u sirable localities in Deering as in Port
land is becoming quite noticeable. On
Pleasant street, which is now and always
will be one of the very best in the city, there
is scarcely a house lot to he had at any price
apart from the plot OF land fronting the ele-
giant residences of Mr.. Fred Kimball MIR. B.
M Eastman, Ira s. Locke, Esq, the late I.
Frank Jones, Mr. &c. Colesworthy and DIR.
Strout, these lots the very choicest of any
sale to those who when ready will build
modern first class residences. Don't miss a
good thing and feel bad about it later on. A
few cents per foot is no obJec. when the
choice of permanent residence is in question
as your very life may be at stake. Look
this property over and if the surroundings
are not entirely satisfactory and all other
features conducive to good results in home
making, don't buy it, 1t is for sale by

upper peninsula Of Michigan,
and also to learn il it can be prolitably

silver from the pans and many n
thousand dollars worth OF the metal

they converted to their own pockets and

OF silver per ton, and they produce Of
this grade about thirty-tiye tons per
