THE SPANISH CRISIS AND CUBA

What has happened TO the Spanish min

try that has failed to do what the people
want done. Whether the ministry is
blameworthy for it's failure, whether
any other ministry could have done bet
ter are questions to which the people
give very little attention. 1t is enough
for them to know that there has been
failure. 1t may be that the policy that
had been adopted by the ministry. had
been practically dictated by the people,
and was the only policy that could have
been adopted under the circumstances.
That fact counts for nothing however
when it fails. The Greek ministry was
forced to declare war against Turkey by
public clamor, but. that did not save it
little later on from the vengeance of
the populace when it appeared that the
war was q mistake. The policy which the

ly shown by the recent vote of the people
of New Jersey on constitutional amend
lnent prohibiting pool selling, bookmak-
ing and gambling generally. There can
be no doubt but an overwhelming ma
jority of the people of that state are in
favor of this legislation, yet it was de-
feated simply because the better ele-
ment' did not take the trouble to go to
the polls, while the other element went
there in full force. In view of the repeat
ed failures Of the people-the best people
to vote on measures of. great Importance
it is altogether fortunate that the re-
ferendum is not in vogue in this country.

from our Legislatures than we would he

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The town of Hampden has voted to ex =
empt from taxation for a term OF ten
years the plant of the Bangor, Hampden
and Winterport electric railway, and has
also appropriated the sum of $500 to help
the road put the bridge over the Sowa-
dabscook stream in proper condition.
The steam dredge "Quebec" owned by
Moore & Wright, lies at the steamboat
wharf, Augusta, where she arrived. Tues
day afternoon. Wednesday morning she
will begin work upon the dredging of the
ship channel between Augusta and Hal
lowell. This job will be done by the
government, and the dredging contract
calls for the removal Of over 10000 yards
of earth. This will take them the rest OF
the fall and a part of the next summer.
The dredger employs IA men. After the
work of dredging is completed the chan
mel will be over 10 feet deep at low tide.
The steamer City of Bangor has made a
great record this year, and one which has
never been equalled. She has made l45
trips between Boston and Bangor, and
not only has not missed single trip, but
has at no time been two hours late. Con-
sidering the fact that storm and fog have
to be encousntered and that unavoidable
delays are ometimes experienced. this is
a remarkable record and shows that the
staunch, handsome steamer is swift and
splendidly handled.
The queerest case of Klondike fever is
the one that struck Ellsworth. A we'll
known barber in town who intends to
start in March, made up his mind that
in order for a man to be successful in
that country it would be necessary for
him to be tough. So last week when he
fully decided that heSwas going, he be-
gan to train for the hardships that may
come upon him. He took cast iron Ecog
wheel weighing ninety pounds and placed
it in bag and started for Mt. Desert
bridge nine miles away. He said he will
never start for Klondike until he is able
to carry that wheel from his home to the
bridge and back before breakfast. The
first morning the barber tried he played
out completely at Beach land, only three
miles out of town. and was hauled back
TO town by milkman. Next morning
he started and got five miles, and was
hauled back by the same milkman This
he kept up till Friday, when he succeeded
in getting his burden to the bridge. The
milkman. has taken a contract to haul
the load back while the barber walks.
The barber has ALREADY begun to look
very tough, and Notwithstanding the
urgent requests of his friends to give up
what they term foolish custom, he still
insists that he will carry out his plan
The Portland daily press., 1897-10-01

Spanish ministry has been pursuing in
Cuba was virtually dictated by the peo-
pie. Campos was removed from the
Captain Generalship because he was dis
posed to pursue conciliatory policy and
Weyler was sentiLecause it was believed
that his policy would be more vigorous
and his pursuit of the rebels more re-
lentless, and both of these acts were in
response to an evident public demand.
Nevertheless the ministry has had to bear
the brunt Of what was really the peoples
mistake, for, undoubtedly, though there
may have been other causes a. work the
chief cause of the ministry's fall is the
failure of its policy in Cuba, a policy
which it was compelled to adopt by pub
lie clamor.
Unquestionably with the accession of a
Liberal ministry to power there will be
change of policy. Ger tainly neither
Sagasta or Campos will seek to follow in
the footsteps of ministry which has
just incurred a public displeasure SO great
as to force it to sure nder its portfolios,
for that would be to ourt the same fate
as has overtaken Azc,arraga. Some new
method of pac.fying Cuba must be sought
for, and as all in the direction of tyranny
and brutality has been exhausted by
Weyler the method must be looked for in
an opposite direction. Necessarily the
government will have to try oonciliation.
Force has failed. The nature and extent
of the inducements to be held out
to the Cubans to lay down their arms
C met Dc foreseen exactly. OF course
they will fall short of granting indepen-
dence to the island That would not be
Cancellation but surrender. No party in
Spain is ready to sacrifice Cuba. Indeed
it was largely the fear on the part of the
people that the policy which has been
pursued might..resulU in the loss Of Cuba
that called halt and change. Amnesty
to the rebels and some degree of self gov
ernment are likely to be prominent feat
ures in the new ninistry's programme.
The interesting question s,EWill they suo-
ceed any better than have tyranny ard
force? There is room for grave doubt on
this point. The change will be regarded
by the rebels, and rightly so, as q Con-
fession by the Spanish people that the
job of subduing them by force Is too big
one for the mother country, and this
of itself VIII be likely to have a very
stimulating 4ffect upon the insur gents.
1t may we'll be doubted If men who have
fought for years for their independence
and endured untold = hardships will con-
sent to accept half a loaf when the whole
appears to be within their grasp. Fur
thermore Spanish promises have been
made SO frequently only to be broken
after the crisis which has wrested them
from an unwilling government has been
safely passed, that the rebels.will look
upon any new ones with suspicion, and
certainly will not accept them except they
are accompanied with guarantee of full
filment better than the Spanish govern
ment can give. Possibly a promise of

Gold bullio receipts have just been
computed for the last nine months at the
Denver branch mint. From Jan. / to
Sept. 2S the receipts aggregated $685.
oSS; for the same period of 1896 the aggre-
gate amount wes S3,12s, 436; gain of
S.. .259, 652. The assayer predicts that the
mint will receive s11, 200, 000 during the
year. The increased output OF gold the
world over, affords another basis for the
argument in favor of its adaptability and
fitness as monetary standard and attests
the wisdom of the fathers in their happy
selection of it.
