CUBAN AFFAIRS.

There seems to be little doubt that
the patriot Maceo is dead, though
there have been rumors that he is
still alive. The insurgents insist that
his death was caused by treachery,
and was really a cold blooded muir
der. And yet no very consistent ac-
count of his death is obtained from
either side. The Spaniards are try
ing to gain some headway, but they
are meeting with poor success. The
excitement in this country seems to
have abated somewhat, though there
are many in different localities who
are Offering to enlist and go to Cuba
if they can find a way to get there.
The attitude of the administration
toward the Cubans is not such as to
encourage much hope that recogni-
tion of independence or Of belliger-
ency will be accorded while Cleve-
land is in the presidential chair. The
senate favors recognition, while the
house is thought to be opposed to it.
The fact really is that while the Gu
bans merit the sympathy of every
patriot the. world over, they have
not as yet accomplished enough in
the line of government or of war to
make it expedient for the United
States to declare their right of bel
igerency. This matter must not be
decided on sympathy, but on the
great DrinciploS of international law
and custom. The Cubans are doubt
less right, and we hope they will
have such success in their bloody
undertaking as will soon win their
right to belligerency and indepen-
dence.

President Cleveland for the position

Col. Veazey, resigned. His name is said
to have been presented by Senator
Proctor, receiving the endorsement
of the entire State delegation in con-

Hon. E. j. Phelps. Gov elect Black
of New York, college classmate Of
Mr.. Prouty, when he heard of the fact
that the President was considering
the matter, called on him and spoke
in most f1attering terms of Mr.. Prou
ty's ability. No man could have had
better endordement than Mr.. Prou
had. The Senate has confirmed the
nomination. The Office has salary
of 81, 5000. Vermont boys will note

An important step towards home
rule for Cuba has just been taken by
Spain showing that she has at last
come to realize that the Cubans can
never again be forced to submit to
the form of government hitherto
maintained on the island. Some time
ago Spain proposed a plan for home
rnlesgiving Cuba a congress of thirty
members, fifteen of which were to be
elected by the Cubans and fifteen to
be appointed bp the Queen Regent of
Spain. 1t is now proposed to do a
way with that part providing for the
naming OF. some of the members by
the Queen Regent and allow the Gu
bans to elect the full number; this
and the entire control which they Of
fer to Cuba of making the tariff laws
of the island form the larger part of
the new plan for home rule. Under
the Spanish system it will be necessa-
ry to submit this plan to the Cortes,
which is not in session and will not be-
fore February. If the Spanish Cortes
were to accept this plan it is not at
all likely that the Cubans leaders
would listen to it as the time when
they might have compromised is
probably long past by. They are now
fighting for their independence and
will be satisfied with nothing less. If
Spain could have got her eyes opened
when the revolution first began and
had offered some such liberties to the
Cubans she might now have a peace
full island in her possessions from
which she would be getting a good
lump of money with which to replen-
ish her treasury.

THE TURKISH QUESTION.

Another report has reached here
from Europe that the great Powers
about to force Turkey to institute the
much talked of reforms. The Rus
sian minister has been away from
his port for few days and it is plain
to be seen, by the way, inactive man
ner of the other diplomats during his
absence, that Russia has far more to
say about how things shall be run in
the East than any of the other Pow
ers. Since his return joint note has
been presented to the Sultan, but this
has become an old story to him and
more decisive action will be taken by
the European governments or their
requests will not be needed. The
only power that dares to go ahead
and stop the atrocities being per-
pretated there is Russia, and she dare
not do much for fear of a combined
action of the other powers against her
The fear that some one power will
reap richer harvest than the others
in case that they were to dethrone
the Turkish ruler is what has kept
up that petty jealousy between the
Powers and which has kept them
from putting stop to the cruelties of
the Turks. Russia is apparently
changing her course and it looks as if
she really meant to try and puta stop
to them; she has come to some un-
derstanding with England SO that
they do not appear to be opposing
each other quite as much as formerly
and if these two powers should decide
to work in unison, with the backing
that France is sure to give Russia,
the Armenian question should be set
in the near future. Possibly if the
United States should take a firm
stand in demanding protection for all
Americans in Turkey and for repair
ations for damages already done to
Americans there and inforce their de-
mands with war vessels if necessary,
this might do much towards better
ing the conditions of things there.

results may be.
Chairman Dingley of the ways and
means committee, speaking of de-
spatch from Washington stating that
'tThe Eastern members of that COM
mittee are not disposed to look with
favor upon reciprocity" in framing
the new tariff, says that on the con-
trary, all republican members of the
committee are in favor of going as
far as the Mckinley tariff did on the
subject, and further if practicable.
This is right to the point, and good
news it is. We may see the days of
reciprocity under Blaine once more.

saved from being placed upon the
market by the present Legislature.
Now why not fix up the grounds and
camp on them, beginning next year?

The heavy sentences imposed upon
two students of the medical depart
ment of Dartmouth college, in county
court last.week, for "body snatching"
may excite some surprise. One was
fined 50, 900 and the other, 81 800. It
may be plead on the one hand that
science demands "subjects' for dis
section in order to help or heal the
living when ill. This is true. Sci
ence cares but little or nothing for
sentiment. Yet it is comparatively
easy at the present time to obtain
bodies under certain regulations in
large cities without robbing rural |
cemeteries. There is hardly anything |
more abhorrent to human affections
than the despoiling of graves, though |
done, as in the cases referred to, in |
the interest of medical investigation. |
No community would be content if |
the law did not protect by heavy pen
alties the stealing of the dead who
rest wsthln its imits.-LdndYadrE
