Senator'S who have hitherto been out

under the same spell that is holding the
Administration in check. Senator Lodge,
" no during the Cleveland administration

He declines to discuss it at all. OF
course, he is neuiber of the Committee
on Foreign Relations and whatever is done
On that subject must come before that
committee, 50 that. in a measure it might
be bad TASTE FOL him to discuss the sub jeet
in advance of the Presidents 5 message, but
it appears unnataral to see a man of such
attainments aud possessed of so much true
American sentiment as Mr. Lodge is known
10 possess, SO express himself.
Mr. Lodge is an enthusiastic Hawaianan-
nexationist and believes the treaty VIII be

is now pending and which is couched i'll Ian

That Cuban Resolution.

What is involved in the adoption by
Congress of the Senate resolution re-
garding the belligerency of Cuba does
not seem to be clearly comprehended
even by those who have been most
persistent advocates of such course.
In we'll considered article on the
subject, the Boston Journal has this
to say:
"None of the senators who participated In the
long debate over the Morgan resolution recog,
nizing the be- iserent rights of the Cuban insur-
gents, 20 far a. we recall took any pains TO eN-
plain to the scnate or 10 the country precisely
what i involved in such recognition. 1t seemed
merely 10 he assumed by them that in declaring
the insurgents belligerents we should be doing
the handsome thing by them, aud giving them
substantial aid.
even i cursory examination Of what bel
ligereucy involves, under the principles of in
ternatioHal law should induce to caution in this
matter 7 begin with, a we have been at pains
to explain before, the moment that we recog nize
the Gu n IN ~urgeut7 a. beligerents We forfeit

gents may iudict upon American property and

"Auether consequence of recognizing the

no state OF war exists in Cuba. But in recog-

The President and His Salary.

Il shall not attempt to answer the
question, How much of mis- salary does
the president expend?" writes ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, in Ladies' Home Journal.
But those who think he can live at his
ease after his retirement on the income
from his savings should take account of
several things:
First that the net income from safe
investments does not exceed four per
cent; second, that the amount invested
in a home yields no income, and third,
that he must have a private secretary,
for his mail will be so large that he can
not deal with it himself.
"a son of one of our most eminent pres
idents who had lost all of his means told
me that it was pathetic to see his father,
who WAS in ill health, laboring beyond
his strength to answer the letters that
came to him. But il the president re-
tains a fair measure of health he will
take care of himself. II he was ever
capable of directing the affairs OF the
nation he may be trusted to administer
his own business; and il he has won the
esteem of his fellow citizens, and has
rightly valued it, he will not barter it for
riches. To any vocation from which a
man may be suitably called to the presi-
dency he may suitably return"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MEET.
Annual Gathering of Hancock County
Churches-All Prosperous.


The annual conference OF the Hancock
county Congregational churches was held
in the Union Congregational church at
the Falls last week, on Wednesday and
Thursday. There was a large attendance
although the weather was bad.
Among the speakers during the confer
ence were Prof. Ropes, Of the Bangor
Theological seminary; Miss Ida Wood
bury, of Boston; Rev. Ebenezer Bean, OF
Bluehill; Miss II. T. Buck, OF Orlsnd;
and Rev. F. W. Smell, OF BrooksviIe.
Rev. Emerson l.. Hunt OF the Falls
church was chosen to preach the con-
ference sermon next year, Rev. Frank
W. Barker the communion sermon. 1t
WAS voted to hold the next conference
at Deer Isle.
Rev. ID. l.. Yale was elected clerk OF the
county Sunday school association for the
next year.
On motion OF Rev. Mr.. Yale it was
voted to request each Congregational
church In the county TO make a contri
button to the missionary fund once
year.
Some time was spent in discussion OF
the sd lisa bility OF securing the services
OF an evangelist in the county. Mr.. Yale
was in favor of doing this. He proposed
the name OF c. l.. Evsrts, who assisted
Evangelist II. l.. Gale in his work in Ellis
worth recently. Several others favored
the idea, and it is probable that he will
be engaged for the county.

Senator Aldrich, speaking for the

Guiding the sugar schedule, in reply to
Senator Tillman's sensational insinu-
alton, made the most positive denial
that the ub-committee was infiu-

the contents of the sugar schedule
were before the bill was reported to

Jones, of Nevada, who is member of
