man who compose the Civic League are
no better qualified to select good candi-
dates than hundreds of other men who
do not belong to it is not SO indicative of
low view of human nature that any
body need shed tears over it. The Mirror 8
logic this week is as faulty as its express
sion was two weeks ago. The PRESS
has said nothing that can fairly be con-
strued as an expression of belief that
there are no suitable men for the offices.
1t has said simply that there was diff
Guilty in picking them out, and that the
Civic League had no especial powers OF
insight which would make it any less
difficult for them to select such men.
The PRESS thinks that the process
of selecting candidates for office
which has been in vogue in
this city for many years past has
generally furnished suitable men, as
generally as any process will. They
have been men of character and Of high
standing in the community, and when
elected to Office have performed their du-
ties well. OF course they have been criti-
cized and complained Of "Kickingn is
one OF the sacred rights that the free and
independent American Citizen will never
surrender Oh lay aside. Everybody who
holds public or semi public position is
sure to come in for liberal amount of
criticism. Senators and representatives
are criticized, judges are criticized,
lawyers are criticized, doctors are ortiz
cized. and even ministers sometimes find
a wide difference of opinion in their
parishes concerning their merits In
deed everybody who comes III contact
with the public must expect about as
many kicks as compliments. But it
is not to be inferred from
the fact that man is criticized
that he is bad man, or because an Off
Ger is complained of that no is incompe-
tent or unsuitable. The affairs of the
city of Portland for the last twenty-fiy
years have for the most part been hon.
estly and prudently managed. Our chief
magistrates have been men of high char
acter and as rule have administered the
duties of their office faithfully and we'll.
The effort to make it appear that the
politicians have been year after year
thrusting upon the public unsuitable
men for Office, until things have come ito
such pass that there must be a
sharp issue drawn between virtue and
vice, ana the reputable people of the city
without party distinction must band to-
gether to prevent dishonest or incompe-
tent men getting into office is a sheer
waste OF force.

The matter of deepening Portland har-
Dor andzwidening the ship channel, which
Collector Deering calls attention to in an
other column is an important one, and
it goes without saying that it ought to
interest all-our citizens who are anxious
that Portland should enjoy the commerce
that her position entities her too Mr..
Deering thinks the letter to Mr.. Reed
was not definite enough That defect,
however, is in process of being remedied
by the government engineers who are
marking upon map which is to be sent
to Mr.. Reed just where dredging is need
ed and lis extent. When this work is
completed probably as definite state
ment as possible of what is needed will
be before Congress. But general move
ment on the part of the commercial
bodies of Portland and citizens generally,
such as the Collector suggests, will I'M
doubJedly strengthen the hands of our
delegation and make it easier to convince
Congress that the improvements desired

Havana, March -Captain-General
Weyler has issued another proclama-
ton, the terms of which indicate a pur-
pose to still further soften the severity
of the proclamations he issued soon
after his arrival
This latest official edict provides that
all persons captured up to date in the
provinces of Havana and Pinar del Rio
and who are suspected of having been
members of a rebel band, shonld they
OF their own free will deny that they
belonged to such band, will be liberated
in every case, provided they give their
promise before two witnesses to be
loyal to the Spanish cause, and pro-
vided no one appears against them to
offer charges of any other crimes.
To this end instructions are given to
Judges that they shall record in the
files a personal description of those
against whom proceedings shall have
been taken and shall then ask for the
release of those coming within the
above mentioned provisions as being
discharged of the crime of rebellion,
but they shall remain subject to the
vigilant surveillance of the authorities.
The same proceedings viii be adopted
with regard to those who are arrested
and who are not accused of common
crimes.
The above proclamation is signed by
Weyler.
Between San Jose and Tivical a
large fore of insurgents has been

of rejoining the insurgent camp and
was armed. In the struggle between
Zuniga and his captors, the ex-editor
was wounded.
In the Palmillas district of the prov
ince of Santa Clara, the insurgents
have burned the plantations of Mer-
cedes, Vegala Cana, Santa Rosa, La
Clabar Zas, La Faja and the houses of
the workmen as well as the refinery.
They also destroyed by fire the stock of
molasses contained in two large ware
houses, valued at about S230,000.
Near the cemetery of Cardenas, in the
province of Matanzas, the insurgents
captured the horses attached TO a
hearse.
