The Cuban War Not Yet Over.

To those who delight to hope for the
cause of liberty in the struggle with op-
preston it is gratifying to know that
the Cuban war is not yet over whatever
may be the condition of the unequal
struggle in Greece. Not only is the
Cuban war still in progress, contrary to
the misstatements of the Spanish but
the insurgents have of late been max
ing considerable Roadway against the
Spanish. Along with this comes the re-
port from the Philippine islands that
the revolt there has not been quelled as
was said but that more money and SOL
diers will have to be placed there by
from Cuba and on pretty good authority
we learn that nearly $50, 600 900 is yet due
the Spanish army, but which Spain is
unable to pay. Should the war in the
east continue much longer SPANS
chances in Cuba would correspondingly
lessen. for the difficulty of hiring money
would be greatly increased. Gen.
Gomez says lin two years Spain has
had to arm 212.O00 soldiers against us
and spend more than 5000, 900, 600 ana
though Gen. Weyler describes me as
defeated l am as hopeful as ever"
He says the Spanish so in herds from
one town to another while the Cubans
harass them at will. He declares that
he can easily foresee what the Spanish
are to do, for he served long in the
Spanish army and he says no com
mander with the exception of Campos
ever carried out an original idea. They
cannot divide into small bands and thus
attack the insurgents. because the lat
ter knowing the ground and better
adapted to that, style of fighting can
whip them every time. Gomez frankly
admits that it is evident the Lafayettes
are dead in this world, that Cuba must
fight it out herself. He, however, risks
his reputation as prophet on the pre-
diction that the Spanish will be unable
to hold out for another year, for they
are now continuing on lies to the Euro
pean money lenders and the crash can
not be long postponed. He says he has
been obliged to refuse the enlistment of
over 10000 Cubans because he had not
arms to give them but thinks the men

Brave Even in Defeat.

From the first it was generally con-
coded that unless Greece had outside
assistance she could not Withstand
Turkey. While those who love a noble
cause such as Greece has been contend
ing for hoped against hope there was
really little expectation of the success
of Greek arms unless the Balkan states
could be melted to rebellion and this is
now more improbable than ever. Even
the account of the Greek retreat sent
out by the Turks is not surprising IL
true. 1t in no way is discreditable to
the valor of the Grecian soldiery, in
experienced poorly armed troops that
they are, many of them raw recruits
and completely exhausted by days and
nights of fierce fighting with no fresh
reserves at hand to relieve them. 1t is
the wonder that they fought as well as
they did. Nor is it fair to regard the
fault finding with the generalship of
the Greek forces as deserved 1t is no
more than always falls to the lot of the
defeated. The Greek navy, unless it
has accomplished more than we have
yet learned, has been disappointing
Much was expected of it and little has
been accomplished.

A PROCLAMATION.
BY the Governor.

The statutes of our State wisely declare

encouraged by concentrated action, this

their streets. in public parks and other
places and around their homes.

Why the Conquered Revere Their Conqueror.

The presence of distinguished South
erners at the dedication of the tomb of
General Grant and the words of the
venerable and gallant General Long
street recall forcibly to mind the sur
passing wisdom shown by Grant in his
methods for closing the war; II
seemed to many at that time that he
was unnecessarily unmindful of human
life, that had he relied more upor
strategy than upon brute force, thou
sands of lives might have been spared.
No one hears that idea advanced now.
All now see what he then saw, the
necessity of so overwhelmingly crush
ing out the strength of rebellion that It
should be past recovery and he sue
ceeded. The cost was tremendous as it
was awful but the results were endur-
ing. 1t was in the end more satisfying
to the defeated than any other form of
settlement could have been for they
had the satisfaction of knowing that
they fought as long as it was possible
for men to fight and they knew that
the world knew any attempt on their
part to resurrect the lost cause"
Grant, who throughout it all had not
evinced the slightest spirit of vindic-
tiveness, saw that this had been ac-
complished how magnanimous he was!
No conquered army ever received such
generous terms as he gave to Lees.
No conqueror was ever more consider
ate of the feelings of the defeated. No
sooner had the last gun been fired and
the last charge been made than General
Grant began the work of reconstruct
ing a nation that should remain at
peace with itself. He refused to march
bled Richmond; he had no use for the
horses of the gaunt Rebel cavalrymen
and he knew they had if they were to
do the spring blowing and secure food
for their half famished families. LET
us have peace" rather than glorying in
sectional triumphs over sectional re.
verses. That was the purpose of Cen
eral Grant implanting the seeds of a
new and loyal hope in the breasts of
the conquered confederates after he
had uprooted every possible hope for

In 1889 Mr.. MIliken was elected to
Congress from the third district, and
was serving his eighth term at the time
of his death. He was a forcible and ell
oquent orator. and his speeches. whether
in the halls of Congress. in Il classic lee
ture. or at political rally. were listened
to with attention. In Congress he was
keenly alive to the interests of his con-
stituents. and was very successful in
getting appropriations for improvements
in his district. The old soldier never had
a better friend than he. and his most
sincere mourners will be found among
that class. He WAS a strong man. very
conspicuous in the councils of the nation.
