The United States, Cuba and Spain.

During the past week there have
been interesting developments in the
question agitating the United States,
Cuba and Spain. The United States
Senate on Friday passed this resolu-
ton by a vote of GA yeas to 6 nays:
"ResoIyed BY the Senate (the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES c0neHrring,) That in
the opinion of Congress a condition oil
nuhlic war exists between the govern
ment of Spain and the government pro-
claimed and for some time maintained
bv force of arms by the people OF Cuba,
and that the United States of America
should maintain strict neutrality be-
tween the contending powers, according
10 each all the rights of belligerents IN
the ports and territories OF the United
States.
"ResoIyed, That the friendly offices
of the United States should be offered
bv the President to the Spanish govern
ment for the recognition OF the INDIE
pendence of Cuba.
The people of Spain regarded the
passage of this resolution as almost
equivalent to declaration of war.
They looked upon it as direct en-
dorsement of the Cuban rebels that
was unnecessary and uncalled for. In
some of the cities Of Spain the people
became greatly excited, at Barcelona
a mob going to the extent of attack
inc the American consulate. The
Spanish government began military
and naval preparations with much
vigor, and the newspapers were filled
with threatening editorials, breathing
defiance to the United States.
Monday the House of Representa-
tives took hand, and passed resolu-
tions of a still more radical character
than those Of the Senate, by the almost
unanimous vote of 263 to II. The
House resolutions were much like those
of the Senate, except that they went
so far as to say that the United States
should take part in the struggle to
protect the legitimate interests OF
American" in other words, to as
sist the Cubans by arms.
In our opinion Congress is acting
hastily and indiscreetly. 1t is true
we believe, that the vast majority of
our people sympathize with the Cubans
in their struggle for liberty; but we
do not believe that they sympathlze to
such an extent as to become involved
in a war with nation with which we
are now at peace.
There are questions concerning the
comfy of nations that should be grave
" considered there are international
principles that ought never be disre-
garded there are broad considerations
that should not be lost sight of or swept
ASIDE by transient excitement. The
result of this momentary passion OF
Congress may be tremendous losses of
blood and treasure and never-ending
regret. The dignity and the self
respect of our government and our
people are not involved in any degree
in the present affair, nor are there any
material interests at stake.
We believe Congress has made a
mistake in passing these resolutions
We do not believe that the people en-
| JorSe IFS action.

Bank Robbers Lynched.

At Wichita Falls, Texas, one day
last week, two desperadoes named
Foster Crawford and Younger Lewis,
alias The Kid, attempted to rob the
City National Bank. In the attempt
they killed Cashier Dorsey and wound
ed Bookkeeper Langford. They fled,
but after a desperate battle were cap

the citizens of the town attacked the

Death of Judge John Blair Hoge.

Hon. John Blair Hoge died at his
home in Martinsburg last Sunday.
He had suffered a stroke Of paralysis
while in Washington about four years
ago, from the effects of which be never
entirely recovered, but the immediate
cause of his death was acute indiges-
ton, complicated with general debility.
He was the son OF Rev. John Blair
Hoge and was born in Richmond, Va,
February 2, 1925. He was carefully
educated for the bar and was admitted
to practice in April, 1045. He located
in Martinsburg some years before the
War. From 1854 to 1859 he was
member of the lower house Of the Vlr-
ginia Legislature. When the war
broke out he entered the Confederate
army as a captain of cavalry, but re-
signed his command to become a mem
Der of the Virginia Legislature. He
afterward entered the army again and
served in both line and staff duty until
paroled in 1865 The war over, he
engaged in journalism in Baltimore,
but in 1870 resumed the practice of
law at Martinsburg. He was mem
Der of the convention at Charleston IN
1872 that framed the present constl-
tuition of the State, and was member
of the national Democratic executive
committee from 1872 to 1876. He
always enjoyed the highest esteem of
his professional associates and was
elected Judge of the thirteenth judicial
circuit, composed of Berkeley, Jefferson
and Morgan counties, which office he
held until 1880, when he resigned to
become a candidate for Congress. He
was elected to the Forty-seventh Con-
gress from the second district by
large majority over Judge j. T. Hoke,
Republican, and Hon. D. D. I. Farms
worth, the greenback candidate. The
next convention was a memorable one
in this district and resulted in a dual
nomination, Judge Hoge and Hon. D.
| B. Lucas, of Jefferson, being nominated.
Nine DAYS before the election both cam
didates retired in favor of Hon. VIM.
L. Wilson, and Judge Hoge resumed
the practice OF his profession, with
offices at Martinsburgand Washington.
Soon after President Cleveland's adj
ministration was ushered in Judge
Hoge was appointed United States dis
trict attorney for the District of Col,
umbia, which position he held until
the change of administration in 1888,
when he returned to Martinsburg,
where he has since lived in retirement.
Judge Hoge's irst wife was Miss Anna
X. Wilson, of that city, who died IN
1854 of cholera, leaving him two chill
dren-Mrs Arthur P. Fairfax, of Bal
more, and Mr.. Wilson H. Hoge, OF
Maryland. Some years afterward he
married Mrs. Marian w. Aston, a
widow, of War; enton, N. c., who sur
wives him. He also leaves a sister,
Mrs. Elizabeth Bishop, of Cincinnati.
Judge Hoge was of genial and social
disposition, and from his early man
hood enjoyed an unusual degree of
popularity among his fellow-citlzens,

WE cannot commend the course OF
the Kanawha Gazette in turning its
back upon the Democratic party. In
deserving the Democracy the Gazette
says that it sees no difference between
the Democrats and the Republicans
the only object of both being to get
hold of the offices. The publisher of
the Gazette may be that sort of "a man,
but we think it no more than decent
that he should refrain from placing all
others in the same category. For a
good many years the publisher of the
Gazette has had more than his share
Of the usufruct in the shape of fat con-
tracts for State printing from the Dem
ocratic party, while its last editor also
fattened at the public crib for long
time. Hence it comes in bad taste for
him TO make such charges, and COM
mon gratitude ought to make him to
endure awhile longer.
1t may be, however, that the pub
Usher of the Gazette has become SO en-
tirely disguised by what he sees at his
home in the capital city-the ways
that are dark and the tricks that are
vain of certain leaders in our State ad.

no longer. We can readily imagine

pointment was made upon the recon-

was urged to endorse Mr.. Wells by
many of the most Influential Demo
Gratis in the State. There is some dis
position to criticise the appointment
because it is another Office given in
the second district, but the criticism
is, we think, rather far-fetched. With
the selection of General Watts, Of
Charleston, as U. S. attorney, and Nh.
Gilkerson, of Hampshire, as internal
revenue collector, the appointment of
Mr.. Wells makes a perfect geograph-
