GENERAL LEES REPORTED REslG.
NATION. g Il

The repoi 1 that General Ice has re-
signed the post OF Consul, General at
Havana stills lacks confirmation. The
Herald and other great newspapers de-
clare that the Consul has sent his resig-
nation to the President, but this is de-
nied at Washington. and thus the mat
ter continues to be surrounded in doubt
The prevailing belief Is, however. that
the resignation has been rendered, but
that for reasons OF state the department
prefers to keep the fact a secret.
The New York Mall and Express, one
Of the staunchest Republican papers in
the country, thinks that 1t Is more than
proba BILE that the General has resigned
the Consulship at Havana. and says:
There is one act by which the in
coming administration may COM
mand the instant eager and unauali-
fled support OF the whole people.
Let President Mckinley reappoint
General Lee 10 the Havana Consul
ate. and support him in that posi-
ton with all the authority that may
be necessary to give full force and
effect to his efforts In behalf OF
American citizens. American rights
and American interests.
Ills 10 NeiS COMPLIMENTARY ~ SItiic-
raj Lee, but the Mall and Express evil
IDENTIFY does not know General Lee. It
says further, General Lee is just the
man for President Mckinley to keep
in Havana. 'He is fearless. able. honest
and patriotic. and by this time he fully
knows the Spanish character If he
comes home, let us send him back to
Cuba, accompanied. IL need be. by a
fleet Of gunboats to support his demand
for the protection Of every American
citizen upon The island"
This programme would suit thousands
Of people, irrespective Of party, through
out the United States, but what will
the General thinks about 1t is the Ques-
ton.

NEEDS ROBUST TREATMENT.

During the considera ton Of a contest
ed election case from Virginia in the
House a few days since, in which the
claimant was shown to have had nc
shadow Of right TO the seat he sought, a
well known Republican leader made
known his disgust over such contests by
making the following remarks:
We have for years here attempted
to build up the Republican party in
the South by seating this man and
mat man and by patronage; and
the result is that they display their
cnlet vitality and strength in our
national Republican conventions,
where they generally appear with
as many different delegations as
their are candidates for the Presi-
dency. say, what the Republicans
or the South now need Is to be
treated upon robust principles. They
nave peen coddled to the point Of de-
struction."
There is more truth than poetry" in
what this Republican says about his
party in the South, and nothing could be-
truer than what he has to say about
Its members in connection with Nation,
al conventions.
It Is also true that the efforts put forth
to build up Republican party in the
South by seating contestants for seats If
Congress has injured instead Of benefit
ing their party, though 1t appears tina,
the leaders of the party have been SLOW
In making the discovery.
The speaker declared that "what the
Republicans Of the South now need |.
to be treated upon robust principles.
They have been coddled," said he. "tt

Try would like to see little Of tha
treatment melted out to them
