We favor the admission of the re-

interests of the people of til territories

Our foreign policy should be at all

all our interests in the Western hemi-

The Hawaiian Islands should be con-

We believe the repeal of the reciproc-

CUBA.

From the hour of achieving their
own independence, the people Of the
United States have regarded with SYM
pathy the struggles of other American
peoples to free themselves from Euro
pean domination. We watch with deep
and abiding interest the heroic battle
Of the Cuban patriots against cruelty
and oppression and our best hopes go
out for the full success Of their deter
mined contest for liberty.
The government of Spain, having lost
control Of Cuba, and being unable to
protect the property or lives of resident
American citizens, or to comply with
its treaty obligations, we believe that
the government of the United States
should actively use it's influence and
good offices to restore peace and give
independence to the island

ARMENIAN MASSACRES.
The massacres of the Armenians have
aroused the deep sympathy and just
Indignation of the American people.
and we believe that the United States
should exercise all the influence it can
properly exert to bring these atrocities
to an end. In Turkey American resi-
dents have been exposed to the gravest
dangers and American property de-
stroyed. There and everywhere Ameri-
can citizens and American property
must be absolutely protected at all
hazards and at any cost.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine in
its full extent, and we reaffirm the
right of the United States to give the
doctrine effect by responding to the
appeals of any American state for
friendly Intervention in case of Euro
pean encroachment We have not in
terfered and shall not interfere with
the existing possessions Of any Euro
pean power in this hemisphere, but
those possessions must not, on any pre-
text, be extended. We hopefully look
forward to the. eventual withdrawal of
the European powers from this hemi-
sphere and to the ultimate union of all
English-speaking parts of the conti-
nent by the free consent of its inhabi-
tants.

Adams has awarded his paper the publ
cation of the Constitutional Amendments
in Grant parish. As Mr.. Adams has
completely ignored the CHRONICLE in
this matter, we suppose it is his intention
to extend all the help he can to his Pop
Mist friends, and this little plum of a
couple of hundred dollars is thus placed
by way of furnishing the "sinews OF war"
to the Populists, to enable them to do
more effective battle against the Demo-
cratic party. 1t may be that there is
some other explanation of the situation.
We received circular a week or two
ago from E. P. Brandao, of New Orleans,
proposing to get this printing for the

the same, provided we allowed him a

New Breed of Sheen.

The agricultural department of
the University of California is rails
ing Lew kind of sheep that will
mean much to the wool and meat
markets II is the result of the
cross breeding of Persian and Meri
no. Experiments along the same
lines, though not 80 complete, were
conducted by George Washington
with marked advantage.
Two years ago three full blooded
rams were received from the Per-
sian Government and experiments
were commenced in cross-bree ding.
The offspring resulted in variety
admirably adapted to the California
climate, showing wool and meat
above the quality of yet obtained.
They were colored white, reddish
brown and black. The wool was of
texture between the Persian and
merino, the average length being
eight inches.
Recently the first sample of the
wool was offered for sale in San
Francisco and brought an advance
of 4 cents on the usual price for a
pound. The new species attain a
tremendous size and are very broad
backed.
