discussion be adjourned for one week.
This was rejected by vote of 81 to II.

GUSHING SENATOR DAY.

The senate of this state has oustcd
Senator Frank Day from that body, and
The methods employed will not bear the
closest scrutiny. Ii Day is ineligible to
seat. III that body now, he was just as
ineligible some two years ago. The SEN
ators have been either stupid, ignorant
or else palpably unjust. The conditions
in Days case have not changed since he
first assumed the lieutenant governor
ship. AS senator he voted on all ques-
tons that cane before that body, and
as in the case OF the Anderson railroad
bill it required his vote to pass it. Other
bills were also affected in similar way.
This may cause no end of trouble in the
states affairs: 1t seems at the eleventh
hour the senator's saw a great light which,
was not before apparent, and from its
efulgent rays they were permitted to OBJ

THE WAR IN CUBA.

The war still continues in Cuba with
all the ferocity and brutality that has
characterized It from the first. From
the general outlook it would appear tc
be no nearer the end than it was year
and half ago. Spain is borrowing
money to throw into Cuba. and continu-
ing to send troops to the island in vast
numbers, but all " to no purpose. The
Spanish prime, minister IN Madrid has
expressed himself forcibly in saying that
his country will not back down, no mat
ter what may happen, nor no matter
where the threats may come from. He
promises however. that should the in
surgents lay down their arms that Spain
will look upon then, kindly. and grant
them large measure of relief in the way
of home rule for the island. But the
promises of Spain with regard to her
conduct towards Cuba have never been
kept. She has saddlcd the Cubans with
such an enormous debt that it has been
out of the question to ever expect pay
ment, and this debt has been incurred
for the benefit Of Spain itself, and not fol
the island She has wronged the Cubans
in trade, monetary affairs and in repre-
sentation. In the latter respect the Gu
bans may be said to practically have nc
representation in the national govern
ment, and next to none in the affairs al
home The Spa11iards come in for every
thing. The courts of justice. Cor rather
injustice) arc so corrupt that Cuban
breads the idea Of going to law, knowing
that nothing is in store for him but ig-
nomi,ious defeat.
With ali these matters in view what
can be expected OF Spain in dealing o,1t
leniency or justice towards Cuba? The
leopard is not apt to change it's spots
Spain will continue to deal with Cuba as
she has always done, and the question
arises. and arises most forcibly day after
day. what should the nations do, espe-
cially the United States. by way of help
ing the distressed insurgents out OF their
awful predicament? The time has passed
when non-interference becomes virtue
This country should no longer stand idly
by and see a brave people swept from
the face of the earth when fighting in a
righteous cause Some time ago it did
seem that Spain might become magnani-
nous. even if conlpeiled by the logic oil
events to become so. and in that event
it was looked upon that interference
would not be either just. or polite, but
hope in that direction has fed and moth
ing is to be expected from the Spaniards
in the way OF relief. In this dire elner-
gency the United States: should offer tho
Cubans some practical relief and stop al
this prattle: in Washington BY. men. who
are airing their views for the sole pur,
pose of hearing themselves talking.

THE ARBITRATION NATTER.

The people are taking sides upon the
arbitration question between this country
and Great Britain. some claiming that
England has secured an advantage over
us in the matter, while others deny this,
maintaining that it is the greatest step
towards civilization that has ever taken
place. in ancient or modern times. The
pope is so strongly in favor of it that it
is said he is preparing an :encyclical CON

against it is that we are forming an alli-

A SECOND cRA1TAN.
Sucs, IS Edward Blake, the Irish Can
adian, in Parliament.


adian, in Parliament.
Not since the glorious days o. a united
Ireland with her Irish volunteers OF 1852
has the Irish race presented such nope
full inspiring attitude as today; and there
is another Grattan to lead the long dis
heartened and divided people to vic 'ry,
says the Canadian Freeman. A special
to the Montreal Star by cable says of the
Hon. Edward Blake, the modern Grattan:
tsIt is the duty of Mr.. Blake, in repre-
senting the Dillonites, Healyites, Redmon-
dites, and Unionists to voice this great
grievance in such way that all parties
in Ireland will be satisfied. In moving
the amendment to the Queens speech the
Canadian statesman has the chances OF
his life time He was chosen because he
represents the coolheaded, argumentive,
and logical type, rather than the hot
headed, warm hearted enthusiast.
That Mr.. Blake will do the matter JUS
tice no one who has heard him before the
Privy Council doubts. The subject calls
for technical reasoning, and in this MT.
Blake is a pasG master. It will be the
greatest speech that Mr.. Blake has made
since he entered the British parliament
in August, 1892, after being triumphantly
elected member for South Longford.
Mr.. Blake has two fundamental requi-
sites of the orator-a commanding pres
ence and a magnificent voice. OF more
than average size, with massive head,
striking features, and face clean shaver,
save for struggling fringe of whiskers
on his cheeks he would attract attention
in any surroundings. Though he does
not cultivate the arts of the stump speak
err, and seldom attempts any sustained
flight of elopuence, he has the power OF
awakening enthusiasm in his hearers,
and found no difficulty in carrying his
Irish auditors at Longford, with him.
But it is in parliament that Blake is at
his best. His speeches are masterpieces
of destructive criticism. They are char
acterized by wealth Of sarcasm and
show an absolute acquaintance with his
subject in it's remotest aspects. In feet
If they have fault it is that they abound
too much in detailed criticism, Mr. Blake Il
lawyers habit, and infatigable industry
inclining him to cover the entire ground
himself instead of leaving details to his
lieutenants. His delivery is rapid and
unhesitating, and he finds his way
through mazes of involved construction,
inserting parenthesis within parenthesis,
with facility scarcely second to that of
Mr.. Gladstone"
