lenicncy that was rcciprocated by afro

opponents Should Congress pass
those resolutions it would be simply
saying to Spain and the world we be-
lieve war exists in Cuba today; that 1t
Is not a riot: that the insurgents are
fighting for liberty rather than for
plumber; that the sentiment of a large
number of Cubans is in their favor:
that in our opinion they should be dealt
with under the rules of civilized war;
fare and not be shot and garroted like
the vilest criminals. Is there more
than common sense in that? Is not
such an attitude conservative as com
pared with the view expressed by
Rlundtchli. the famous German au-
thority upon international law, who
declares that 1.-The interests of human
ity demand that in cases of doubt such
"a revolutionary party be treated as
a belligerent and not as horde of
criminals?' Can Spain reasonably
complain at such an action? And shall
the possibility that she will resent the
act unreasonably deter this nation
from doing its duty toward the Gu
bans?
Today our government Is the ally of
Snain We 1ninu what u =
Madison refused to do when in 1915
the Spanish minister DeOnis,
demanded that we should treat the
South American revolutionists as pi-
rates. There surely is reason in this
position taken by Mr.. Hit in the
House Friday:
The uHmistakable voice of the people
of the United States, as expressed in
the enormous majority given in this
House-262 to Twas in favor of
recognizing the belligerency of the Gu
bans. 1t was against this that all
Spanish influences in this country
were most strenuously excrteu. 1t
was to this hope of recognition of bell
ligerency that all friends of Cuba
turned. The reason was plain. 1t
would be of inestimable assistance to
the Cuban cause. 1t would give them
a flag: it would give them a status in
the world. If they procured a vessel
and entered New York harbor tomor-
row with their lone star flag. they
would be liable TO be treated as pi-
rates. The Spanish minister would
Immediately claim that this should pe
done. but with recognized flag they
could enter as the ships from all coun-
tries do. They could buy munitions of
war openly. They could buy supplies
of every kind. Men could go openly if
not in armed expeditions. to join them.
They could negotiate loans. negotiate
them as openly as the Spaniards do
now. The Spanish Government now
buys munitions of war at Hartford
and at Philadelphia. buys supplies.
loads ShipS-in fact, the United States
is today the base of operations in
furious war to crush those who are
struggling for liberty, and our govern
ment has been busted for n year or
more in obeying the limitations of the
Spanish minister that they could in

sion by Congress that it deemed the

AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. Is, 1896.

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large. correspond
ing to the two United States senators, were
nominated in State convention. and the re-
manning electors, corresponding to the MEM
bers Of the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions.
The passage Of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law,
system, and this ballot act requires that can
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
ont the whole state must be placed in nomina-
tion by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates of party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.

AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Both of the great political parties have
held councils. promulgated their "articles
of faith" and selected their standard
bearers, and the battle is on.
Heretofore the claim has often been
made that there was practically no differ
ence in the platforms of the two parties,
but for this campaign, at least. this claim
will not hold. One party has declared for
gold as the money standard and the other
for the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at ratio of 10 parts of silver to
one of gold.
We trust that the campaign will be
purely an educational one The questions
involved are momentus ones, and should
not be considered lightly. Every man
who intends to avail himself of the right of
franchise should qualify himself to exer-
else this right inteligently. He should
not leap at it hap hazard. 1t is duty he
owes himself and his country to educate
himself on the great issues before the peo-
pie. He has no right to follow his party
leaders blindly, nor to stick to tradition
and the faith of his fathers, unless he
knows or at least thinks to his own salts
faction that the leaders are leading in the
right direction and the tradition and
faith" will serve the better interest Of
the country If emulated and abided by
in these more advanced days.
The people are hardly ever wrong
leaders frequently err and the precedents
of tradition are often too antiquated for
modern utility. We advise our readers to
use the head God has given; to study the
questions presented and acts at their con-
science dictates. If they do this we feel
sure that the country will be safe in spite
of what the gold bugs, the siIver-bugs or
the straddle bugs may say or do to the
contrary.

MOST ENCOURAGING.

The old saying that it is not good plan
to 'hollow before you get out of the
woods is a good one, but in the matter of
Floridas tobacco experiment it would
seem that few words of congratulation
might not be amiss.
The experiments so far have demon
strated one point beyond doubt-that
Cuban tobacco will grow in Florida on
our ordinary pine lands. The growth of
the plant has been everything that could
be asked, and so far as we have heard, it
has encountered no extraordinary set backs
or enemies.
Of course the main point is yet to be de-
termined-the quality of the weed. This
matter, we are told is very largely Deepen
dent on the curing, and in the proper cur
ing there are at least two essential re-
quisites, the proper handling and the eli
matte conditions.
The first, of course, is point that can
be easily gained by the importation of ex-

men we can soon acquire the knack, and in
few years will be independent of their
services Climatic conditions, however,
are not so easily controlled and regulated,
but the climate of our state and that of
Cuba during the curing season are not dis
similar-both countries during this critical
period Of the tobacco's preparation are en-
vironed by the rainy season, and we hardly
think the difference, if any, could be suf-
icient to operate to our disadvantage,

Meade is most encouraging, and if the
