Senator Richard r. Kenney, of this
state, favors Cuban independence. He
certainly represents the sentiment Of
his constituents, who are averse to the
machinery Of our Federal government
being used to force upon the brave and
struggling Cubans a system of auton-
omy which, under Spanish interpreta-
ton and treachery, would mean a con-
tinuance Of those horrible social and
political conditions which have beset
and harrassed them for so many years.
In a letter in answer to a telegram
OF inquiry from the editor Of a New
York paper, Senator Kenney has this
to say:
l do not expect to introduce any
resolution relating 10 Cuba, for the
reason l am sure there will be intro
duced by others resolutions which will
have my Endorsement and support.
l shall favor such action as will most
speedily end the war and make Cuba
free
Should the president recommend
non-interference. in my judgment 4
would not stay action by the Senate
favorable to Cuban independence.

REGARD1NG THE PROPHETS.

The exercises and incidents attend

bowl to the gunboat Wilmington has
afforded to every man who has fad
or fancy an opportunity to express
himself in public print. Those temper
ance reformers, prohlbitionists and
universal peace advocates who love to
prophesy have all had ample oppor-
tunity to convey to the public the
alarming intelligence that their finer
sensibilties have been shocked.
One man intimates that four verses
OF doggerel will dull the public con-
science and lead the city to ruin, but
sees nothing to criticise in the exer-
cises at the Grand Opera House. An
other overlooks the doggerel entirely,
and tells of the woes which are to be
inflicted upon this community by rea-
son OF the impiety of the Grand Opera
House meeting. Still another, who is
not only a prohibitonist but also a
peace advocate of such an advanced
type that he would do away with both
army and navy, inveighs against the
presentation Of an engine OF drink tc
an engine of war. And thus it goes
The whole thing resolves itself into q
matter Of indulgence. These reformers
never lose an opportunity to rush into
print in denunciation Of anything and
everything which they regard as tres
passing upon any pet convictions
which they may entertain. They have
done 1t in the past, they are doing it II
the present, and they will do it in the
future No matter how hopelessly they
may be in the minority, they are en-
titled to their say but they are neithe
