THE PRESIDENT AND CUBA.
Thursday of last week was a
day of triumph for Cuba. The
house passed the senate relief re-
solution, and the state department
Immediately telegraphed General
Leo to draw on the treasury for
$50, 900 to aid Americans in Cuba.
The senate by very decided ma
jority passed the Morgan resolu-
ton granting belligerents rights
to the Cubans. The house had re
fused to pass this resolution but
did so only after the assurance
was given by the leaders who are
near the president that Cuban in
dependence was desired by him
and that he had q plan whereby
that end would be secured. If the
president does not proceed with
in reasonable time the Morgan
resolution will undoubtedly be
passed by the house. The speeches
made in the senate for and against
the resolutions have been unequal
led in eloquence and in patriotic
sentiment since the days of 81.
It's stated on very good author
ity that as soon as Mr.. Calhoun s
report of the condition of affairs
in Cuba is received by the presi=,
dent, and it is expected in two
weeks or three, the president will
suggest to the Spanish govern
ment that Cuba be permitted to
purchase her independence. If
Spain should refuse this PROPOSE
tion the president will take more
radical steps, with the ultimate
design of intervening and stopping
the war with force If necessary.

constitution, which requires that all
state officers whose election is not
otherwise specifically provided for
shall be nominated by the governor
and confirmed by the senate.
The considerations stated above
induced the governor to veto the emp
itol bill; hut he, nevertheless, de-
clares his earnest desire for the eree-
ton Of suitable structure for tho
use Of the state in every way worthy
Of the important purposes for which
It is 10 be dedicated. The governor
points out that the most desirable
way to proceed in securing what -
needed is to have "a capitol commits
sion constituted according 10 law,
nominated by the executive aud ap-
proved by the senate, aud hat this
commission be given full power to
choose plan and provide for the
construction Of the best and most
approved statehouse tat can be
built for the money which may be
appropriated for the purpose.
The views Of Governor McLaurin
seem to be remarkably sound and in
telligeut in the treatment Of this mat
tor, ana it is hoped that the general
assembly of his state will a. cncc act
upon his suggestion and frame and
adopt bill in accordance herewith.
