The Spanish Situation in Cuba,

The Spanish plan of operations in
Cuba will undoubtedly be altered in
material degree by the ministerial cri-
sis at Madrid, and will probably change
the relations between the United States
and Spain. The concentration policy
of Gen. Weyler for non-combatants
will undoubtedly be given up and the
general system of barbarities which
have characterized the war on the
Spanish side for nearly two years will
be relinquished.
Under these new conditions Spain
will be likely to hold more favorable
attitude toward the United States gov
eminent. Although slow to consider
the fact, she will be able to see that
this government has performed its duty
as Neutral power ever since the be.
ginning of the war, with fairness and
intelligence, although the sympathies
of the American people have, from the
first, been with the insurgents. 1t is
admitted that, under the new order of
things, a measure of home rule which
stops just short of actual separation
will be held out to the Cubans, for the
Spanish statesmen, of all parties, know
only too we'll that all measures hereto
fore mentioned would be instantly and
Indignantly rejected by the insurgents.
The war thus far has drained the re.
sources of Spain and it looks as though
they would 60 further to conciliate the
Cubans than was ever dreamed of
few months ago. 1t is within the
bounds of reason to infer that Spain, in
the exigencies which now exist, will
offer to the Cubans measure of self
government as broad as that enjoyed
by Canada under British rule.
But even such an offer will probably
be in vain. Every insurgent leader,
from the lamented Maceo down, has
declared that the Cubans will accept
no terms from Spain but absolute indie
pendence, and the chances are that
their determination to secure this end
has been strengthened rather than
weakened by Weyler's failures to make
Roadway against them. Notwithstand-
ing the vast Spanish army now in Cuba
the insurgents still roam at will, and
have even made demonstrations against
Havana. Under such conditions any
military commander which Spain may
select will not alter the situation. The
Insurgents are likely to hold out to the
bitter end for absolute independence.

Signs Of Advancing Prosperity.

The fact that certain prominent dem
ocratic newspapers have recently sent
correspondents through this country in
search of evidence that the United
States is not yet as prosperous as it is
possible for 1t to be under the most IA
vorable conditions, is significant con-
fession of the belief of the editors of
such papers in the power of sound
money and protection to bring about
good times, and these critics of the
present administration thus pay it an
unintentional, but high compliment.
No nation can recover in a few weeks
from period of uncertainty, general
hard times, idle industries and impov-
erished enterprises, such as followed
the presidential election of 1892, and
which was direct result of the era of
tariff reform inaugurated by Grover
Cleveland. Sickness and disease leave
their traces in the business body as
well as in the human body, and they
cannot be eradicated without time for
careful treatment.
The tariff bill, the great remedy
which the republican party has to offer
as a remedy, is on the way to a speedy
enactment. The bill is likely to be-
come law by the beginning of the fis-
cal year. In the little more than three
months that the present administration
has been in power, it has done much
routine work that was indispensable to
the enactment of the tariff measure,
and yet our democratic friends criticise
because the country has not yet recov-
cred from the business prostration and
stagnation which have characterized
the last four months of democratic rule.
And with the new tariff bill in force,
when Congress comes together next
December, the question of currency
reform will be taken up with deter
mination to settle it for the best good
of the country and the satisfaction of
the people of all sections. Already re-
ports from commercial centers show
that business is steadily increasing, and
that American industries are more ac-
tive than they have been since 1892.
The world of trade, manufactures and
commerce feels new impulses of conf

property should go in the absence of will
and in case Of widowed companions and
dependent children, prov ding that the
property cannot all be wiled away from
them. But The legislature has also a right
to regulate rates Of interest, but the right to
take that interest from the individual does
not follow. The law-making power has
also the right to regulate tolls in grist-mlls,
but not the right TO confscate those tolls.
Therefore, to use Governor Blacks form OF
expression: "If it is constitutional for
state to confscate deceased persons prop-
erty, it ought not to be-"

Obituary..

MARTIN. - Bowman Bishop Martin of
Marshtield passed away at his home May
81 1897, at the advanced age Of eighty-six
years. six months and seventeen days. Mr..
Martin was born in Plainfeld November
IA. 1910. He moved to Marshfield in 1873
Afterwards he was in trade for two years in
Plaintield, Of the firm of Lawrence, Lamb
and Martin, then he moved to Marshfield
and settled upon what was then known as
the Judge Pitkin estate, which was consid-
cred the best farm property in that part Of
town. He was one or the landmarks Of the
town being intimately associated with its
growth. He was the eldest son of the late
Hon. William Martin, and was married
March l, 1926 to Catherine D. Pratt to
whom were born eight children. His wife
and two daughters Arminda P. and Ann
NJ, are deceased. He is survived by Sa-
bna L., widow of the late Mr.. l.. Wheeler
of Marshtield; Carolina D.; May M, the
wife of Paul Lance OF Cabot Catherine E.,
wife of James Provenchi of Wisconsin;
Sophia L., wife of Mr.. Carpenter Of Rock
ton, Ill, and Bowman B. Martin of Marsh
field. The late B. B. Martin has two BROTH
ers who still survive him-William Edwin,
and Curtis. Mr.. Martin began his active
life with common school education; but
by contact with men in his political and 80.
cial relations he acquired very practical
education. He also held very high posi-
ton as prominent and influential citizen.
He was intrusted and filed with more than
ordinary ability, from time to time, all the
responsible town offices, being appointed
the collector of taxes for seven years in sue
cession. He was staunch Republican and
represented the town OF Marsh6eld in the
state legislature in 1861 and 1862. In his
earlier life he was connected with the Con-
gregational church Of Plain6eld. His ster-
ling integrity and character won for him
the esteem OF large circle Of acquaint-
ances. He lived very active life until the
day Of his death, when he was suddenly
stricken down by apoplexy. The funeral
services were held at his late home, and
were very largely attended, Rev. e. o. Girls
brook OF Plaintield officiating.

THE immigration question has
strained the relations between Hawaii
and Japan until they are dangerously
near the breaking point. The Japa-
nese immigrants are regarded by
Hawaiians as the advance guard of a
movement that threatens the sover-
eighty of the island. Japan stands
squarely on what it considers its treaty
rights and will not admit that the gov
eminent of Hawaii is allowed to read
between the lines in interpreting those
rights. 1t is intimated that such en-
croachment on the soveignty of Hawaii
would occasion grave inconvenience to
the United states, and that, if Japan
goes too far, this government may be
obliged to concentrate the Pacific
squadron at Honolulu, both to show
the bumptious Japanese that their
ancient enemy, China, is not the only
power on earth, and also that the de-
termination of the United States gov
eminent to keep Hawaii within the
sphere of American influence must not
be interfered with. Japan can never
regain the prestige she lost when Rus
STA took away the most valuable of her
conquests by any such maneuvers.
WHAT ails the Mortified Ne,cs? In
its editorial columns last week is
found this paragraph: elf the testi-
mony in the hearing of one of the
women arrested at an alleged house of
ill fame in Montpelier last week, is re-
ported to us correctly, the officers max
ing the raid are not fit men to hold an
official position of any kind. The mat
ter ought to be investigated" Armed
with official papers Sheriff Collins and
Deputy Sheriff Graves searched the
ranch referred to-, that has long been
stencil in the nostrils of decent people
in that part of the city. The fault was
not with the officers that the evidence
they were obliged to give in city court
next day was of sensational, and at
times disgusting, character. 1t is to be
regretted that in the face of such pos
tive evidence, backed by a clear and
decisive charge by the court, a jury
composed of six citizens of Montpelier
should render verdict in this case
that practically makes imperative the
section of the city charter controlling
houses of ill.fame, but more lamentable
is it that reputable newspaper of the
county should take up the cudgel in
defense of the frail occupants of the
house who we're brought to trial, and,
incidentally, throw mud at faithful and
efficient officers who did their duty and
nothing more. Has the editor of the
Ne,os been subsidized? 1t should start
