ministration of the island, in the broad
est sense of this term"
II this be true, what need Is there
for Cuban delegation in the Spanish
cortes? If Cuba is to govern herself,
regulate all her own internal affairs
and decide upon her tariff and taxes,
wherein VIII she have any need to be
represented at Madrid? Canada doesn't
nave a delegation iat Westminster.
Canada doesn't need one there. The
British parliament does rot assume to
consider any measures concerning
which Canada would need parliament
tary delegation to defend her interests.
Furthermore, England doesn't levy a
tribute from Canada. Canada, in short,
is as free and independent in all ma
terial respects as If there were no such
nation as England on the map. What
dces the scheme of a Cuban delegation
at Madrid cover up? Does it mean
that the cortes is to determine Cuba's
money tribute to Spain? Is the bleed
ing of the old regime to be continued
under the new?
These are questions which must be
fully and satisfactorily explained be-
fore Americans will venture any ad-
vice to Cubans touching the advisabill-
ty of the acceptance by them of the
Spanish olive branch

The Real Issue
RCCdrdtely Slated.

From the Wilkes-Barre Times.
1t would be well for all good citizens, to
whatsoever political party they may be-
long, to keep fully in mind these closing
days OF the campaign what the real issue
of next weeks election Is. That it Is some
thing more than a mere contest betwC en-
rival parties for control of important
state and county offices, or between rival
candidates for a lucrative office, must be
apparent to every thoughtful observer.
But there are many, however, who regard
this election as a mere contest for power
and patronage. Such voters are ami to
vote for this or that candidate because he
happens to be a good fellow, or because
he is neighbor or a fellow-member
of some lodge, church or other society.
But there are much more serious and i'm
portant issues at stake. All that was con-
tended for in the presidential election yast
ran is in issue again in the approaching
election, notwithstanding the fact that
the people Of tho United States by a very
large majority, elected William Mckinley
president upon platform declaring for
protection to American labor and for
sound money with which to pay it, and
put their stamp of disapproval upon the
Chicago platform declaring for free trade
Tree silver and free riot, the Democratic
party of this state have ruthlessly and
recklessly reafiirmed these pernicious
declarations of the Chicago platform, thus
setting at naught the verdict of the ma
jcrity of the voters of the state. A vote
cast next Tuesday for the Democratic
candidates on state or county ticket
means vote in approval of the Chicago
platform and OF all the unpatriotic, ira
tonal things which It implies. 1t means
the encouraging and building up of the
Garmanized and Bryanized element Cf
the Pennsylvania Democracy to the detri-
ment OF the patriotic, sound money wing
OF the same party.

The Republican Ticket,

Elsewhere in this issue appear por-
traits Of and brief biographical data
concerning the Republican county
nominees. 1t is the intent of this pub
hcation to supply to any voter who
may not have personal acquaintance
with these candidates information as
to their personal fitness for public Of
flee. The sketches are not mere eulo-
gies but clear and accurate biogra-
phies showing just what each man has
done to earn the prominence and honor
of party preferment and to justify the
confidence of the people as expressed
at the polls. We commend to doubtful
or undecided voters, if there he any
such, fair reading of this prescnta-
tion Of the Republican tickets per-
sonal claims. 1t will contribute to the
casting on Tuesday of a wise ballot.
Bear in mind that in addition to be-
ing individually worthy and eXper-
fenced men, men who would readily
command employment in private posi-
lions of responsibility and give full
value in return for wages paid, these
nominees are clean, efficient and faith
ful Republicans, who have stood by
their party through thick and thin, and
now present just claim upon it for cor
dial and united support Their party
credentials are irreproachable. Their
nominations came to them by over
Whelming majorties in regular conven-
tion after an open contest in which each
candidate that entered had a free field
and fair show. The inevitable CIamor
which tries to stigmatize success and
excuse failure has been raised against
these men by jealous rivals and by the
unscrupulous enemy; but the common
sense and fair play of the people have
not been misled, and the ticket stands
forth today recognized by honest party
opinion as upon the whole the cleanest
and best local ticket ever offered by any
party in this county or elsewhere.
1t is a ticket that deserves to win.
and ii is a ticket which is going to win.
from top to bottom, by pIuralities
which will surprise the faint-hearted
and the weakened. Let every loyal
Republican, therefore, rally to its SUM-
port, and, closing up the party ranks,
go to the polls on Tuesday determined
not only to elect this admirable ticket
throughout but at the same time 10
give the enemy such a drubbing that
1t will be years before he will have the
hardihood to challenge Lackawanna
Republicanism to another battle.

In Need OF Further Explanation.

The official explanation which the
spanish minister, Senior Dupuy de
Lone has published of the form of
autonomy proposed by the Sagasta
ministry for Cuba leaves much infor-
nation to be desired. For instance,
ne says that under it Cuba will have a
government like Canada, with a local
legislature elected by universal sur-
frage' a delegation in the Spanlsb
cortes also elective by the people of
cuba, a ministry chosen from the ma
lority In the provincial legislature and
a goveinor-general or viceroy appoIn-
tive by the crown OF Spain and clothes
with power Of veto. He adds that the
subjects before the legislature (mean-
ing the provincial body will include
those OF taxation, tariff. public instruc-
tion and all matters Of the Internal ad-

like strength in George, the candidate,
might easily have caused his undoing
had he lived to become George, the
ruler. For his fame his death comes
opportunely.
And now, stepping again into the
diz2ying rush of events, what of the
consequences? Before an answer to
this can he hazarded, we must see what
effect the nomination of Henry Georges
son will have upon the situation. II 1t
shall be followed by the disintegration
of the fathers following, then the most
formidable beneficiary would seem to
be Judge Van Wyck. But If to the son
shall come in political form a wave of
sympathy, then indeed will the out
come become shrouded in uncertainty.
The next twenty-four hours ought to
tell the story, and until 1t is told by
developments predictions are a waste
of energy.
