III HEROES OF TIE CAMPAIGN.
Honor to Them by All Hands.

To H EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Had Seth
Lows sole motive been a desire to work for
the good Of the people he would have stood BY
his party. Had he said to Gen. Tracy, "Once
you withdrew for me; now 1 will return the
compliment, and work with all my power for
the party" he would have made himself illus.
trious. The party would have won, for with the
forces united many who have voted for Tam
many would have voted for Tracy.
Low it was, not Plat, as one of the sensational
organs backing him declared. that helped
Croker. All honor and. glory and long life to
Thomas c. Platt! May he live long to lead the
grand old party! All parties must have a leader.
and we have to-day no greater or truer political
leader than Plat.
He took the only stand a man of honor and
dignity could take, that of silent contempt for
the baseless slanders of his enemies.
All honor, too: to that " grand old war horse
Gen. Benjamin +. Tracy!
1t would be fitting if the Republicans in the
city would show some token of their esteem for
Gen. Tracy and Mr.. Plat by holding "A gigantic
mass meeting, when q vote of thanks could be
rendered them. A. CLARK.

From the Nebraska STATE Journal.
The horny-nsted sons OF Maine have found o way
to evade Mr.. Armour's combine OF pork packers. and
have been successfully following It for some years.
They founded fresh pork clubs" When a Maine
porker is killed. averaging about 900 pounds, the
family owning him have about nifty pounds OF spare
ribs and other delicate lean parts that ran neither be
prontably sailed nor smoked. Ordinarily they would
have to peddle out or give away tho most of Il or
have II spoil on their hands.
To avoid this, ten ~neighbos organize a fresh.pork
club. Whenever one of tho ten kills a pig he divides
the lean tidbits into ten parts OF about i've pounds
each and sends each OF the other nine one portion
and keeps tho tenth portion himself. In this way,
by 1udiciously timing the killing. the members OF the
club have all tho fresh pork they care TO consume
during the winter. There are 1000 such clubs In
Maine, which means that ten Thousand families are
Independent OF tho butchers and refrigerator people.

The Mexican Minister on Our Att.
tude iowa ard Spain's Colonies.

The Mexican Minister, Mr.. ROMERO, has
written an article for the November num-
Der of the North American Review, the
purpose Of which is to show that the Cuban
revolutionists have 40 ground for COM
plant against our Government, for the
alleged reason that we nave treated
them as well as we treated the Spanish
American colonies on the mainland at the
time of their uprising. This is a mistake.
Mr.. ROMERO has confused the two kinds
of recognition. namely, the recognition of
belligerency and the recognition of indie
p%endence.
TIL Cubans have not yet asked US to rec
ognize them as constituting a n independ-
ent State. Up to this time the Cubans
have confined themselves to requesting that
we should recognize them as belligerents
and observe thereafter absolute neutrality
between them and Spain. This Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND refused to do, Notwithstanding a con-
current resolution had been passed by Con
gress in favor of such a step. There was no
precedent for that refusal In the position
maintained by President MADISON and
President MONROE toward SPANS insur-
gent colonists in the first quarter of this
century. 1t Is true that, although the first
successful Instruction against the Spanish
authorities took place at Buenos Ayres In
1910. we waited twelve years before recog-
nizing any Of the insurrectionary commu.
mites as independent commonwealth. On
the other hand, as Mr.. MONROE points out
In one OF his messages, we recognized the
Insurgents as belligerents from an early
stage OF the conflict, and maintained the
absolute impartiality prescribed for neu-
trails between the mother country and it's
American provinces. In a letter penned in
1919, or three years before we recognized
the Independence of any Spanish-American
country, Mr.. ]. @. ADAMS, Secretary OF
State, addressing Mr.. RUSH, then the
American Minister in London, Informed
him that we had long been s~crupulous to
perform the duties OF a neutral between
Spain and her revolving colonies, and that,
In pursuance of such duties, we had re.
ceived commissioners from those colonies
and had treated them with high considera.
ton. We have done nothing of the kind
In the case of Cuba. Her commissioner
have not been received by our State De.
partment. We have not recognized the
Cuban revolutionists as belliqerents, and we
have not acknowledged the duty of obsery,
ing exact neutrality between them and
their mother country.
All authorities on international law draw
n sharp distinction between the recognition
OF belligerency and the recognition of indie,
pendence. The former act merely consid
ers q nation as inchoate, and comedies to II
che right to sue, so to speak, in the forum
OF war. From the moment such a recog,
milton is given, a parent State has no rights
and privileges in the ports of the ~recogniz,
Ing power which are not equally possessed
by the insurgent colonies. Ii the absence
OF u a recognition. the Cubans can claim
in our ports none of the rights and priv
leges which are enjoyed by Spain. They,
therefore. have q right to complain that. w

The members of the Austrian Reichsrath
ought to como to New York and study tho par
hamentary methods OF that unrivalled band of
philosophic debatcrs. tho Central Labor
Union. ReDose OF manner. arising from tho
deep calm Of intellectual superiority, may
there be observed to the best advantage.
1t Ia said, by the way, that a debate
between representatives OF tho two bodies has
been almost arranged, but the life insurance
companies and the United States and Austrian
military authorities have made some trihing
objections. The loss OF such a debate would be .
check to tho Joys of mankind, and nobody but
some of the members Of the American Peace 30
ciety could bear the loss with composure.

When anybody wants gold from this side, an
agent is merely sent to the United States Treasury
with greenhacks to exchange for II. and the Treasury.
Whatever may be its straits, or those of the country,
has no alternative but to make the exchange. II has
some OF the fixed functions but mono OF the impor-
tant optional powers or defensive safeguards OF q
bank. 1t can raise neither the price OF its gold nor
the discount rate. II must furnish gold at q uniform
price. practically fixed by law. or dishonor its notes
and con'uise the country with panic CT
The Treasury does not need any defensive
safeguard. beyond the very simple ono of lock-
ing up the redeemed greenbacks. This, of itself,
will always 80 deplcte the reserves Of the banks,
that they will be forced to put up their rate of
discount. and thus stop gold exports. Besides,
II there were no greenbacks in existence. the
banks would have not only to redeem their
circulating notes in gold, but t. pay gold 20 their
depositors on demand, and this would put them
In a much moro unsafe position than that In
which the Treasury is.

Our Madrid dispatches say that the Span
ish Ministry, in reviewing the Competitor case.
holds that tho protocol Of 1877 applies solely to
American citizens residing in Cuba.
The crew of the Competitor were tried by a
summary court-martial for piracy and rebellion
and condemned to death. Our Government pro-
tested and demanded q civil trial for them,
under the protocol of 1877, while also declaring
that the privileges provided for accused Ameri.
cans by the original treaty Of 1905 had not boon
granted in the Competitors case.
The agreement made twcnty years ago by Min.
lister CUSHING, representing our country, and
Minister CALDERoN Y CoLLANTEs. on tho part
of Spain, stipulated that our citizens should not
be tried "by any exceptional tribunal" unless
captured with arms in hand. The contention of
Spain Is that, as the treaty expressly limits this
privilege to Americans resident in Cuba" the
crew OF the Competitor, captured while engaged
In a hostile expedition, do not como under Its
provisions, being not SO resident.
But was such a limitation really intended by
the makers of the protocoli On tho contrary,
1t has been urged on the American side that, In
the same document, we provide that tho privi-
leges, which, in return. we give to Spain. are to
extend to and comprehend all Spaniards resid-
ing or being in the United States" II there ia a

shall give the Competitor prisoners al. their
rights under the protocol of 1877.

giving the history of the slave trade and
showing what is being done in the South

The first entertainment Of the Lecture
Course will be given at Seaver's hall next
Thursday evening by the Park Sisters of
New York, assisted by Miss Addie Chase
Smith, reciter. The Park Sisters are well
known all over this country and Europe.
They returned some time ago from a Eu-
ropean trip where they appeared before
the Royalty and received the highest
praise. The press in every place where
they have appeared have spoken of them
in the highest terms. The people OF this
village and vicinity should come out and
hear them. The entertainment viii be
well worth the price Of admission, and be-
side this it will be necessary for the people
to turn out well If we are to make our lee
ture course success financially. AS has
been stated before this course is very ex-
pensive one and unless the people give
their heartiest support the expenses can
not be met. The class of entertainments
to be given here are deserving of good at
tendance and we hope that the people will
show by their presence in the hall next
Thursday evening that they appreciate the
endeavor of the committee to give them
good course.
