To The Press of Maine.

The Times desires to ask the newspapers
OF Maine what the people OF that State
think OF Senator Hale?
The name OF Maine has been throughout
the history OF the country synonymous
with bravery, Justice, humanity and devo-
tion to the cause of human liberty. Has
ali this been revolutionized? Do the people
OF Maine, VINO worship the memory of the
martyred Lincoln, and regard John Brown
as hero; who spent fortunes and the lives
of many thousand gallant SONS to free
tie slaves; do they today stand for the
murder Of prisoners of war, for the 1elib-
eIate starvation OF thousands, inclu;llng
hundreds of American citizens, for the
fiendish assassination fthe sickand wound
ed in hospitals, and for the outrage, torture
and butchery Of helpless women, girls and
infant children by the Spaniards in Cuba?
I We trust not at least there IS still
some excuse for thinking that they do
not; because one of their representa- u+es,
Senator Frye, is committed to the cause
OF humanity and mercy.
But Mr.. Eugene Hale stands up IN the
United States Senate and fights, pleads
and cbstructs to prevent any expression
OF national sympathy for the oppressed,
persecuted, outraged, assassinate1 peo-
pic who are struggling for life and lib
erty, from going out from thatchamber, al
though three-fourths of its membership
are heart and soul for such action.
We are panied and amazed that no
effective protest has come from the press
of Maine. Can it be that the newspapers
of that Commonwealth are so poorly served
from Washington as to be ignorant of
what is going on at the National Capital:
Of matters thattheir correspondents. where
they have any. must be perfectly familiar
with?
The people and the press OF Maine should
regard it as due to themselves TO investi-
gate this matter. and To ascertain why
1T is that they appear represent ativeiy
here as defending the hIdeous atrocities
of the hyena, Weyier, and as insisting that
nothing shall be done 20 stop them II they

Mr. Hale. they should speak, that tier
