known that the name of DR. Seward Webb,

Canton and withdrew his name.

with other persons in dynamite con-

Our contemporary says that Demo
Gratis should no. sit quietly by and In

and robbery, and TO plead as an excuse
for rendering such assistance the hope
of securing little campaign advantage

WHAT SPAIN OWED.

Oppression and greed has cos. Spain
more territory than any other nation on
the globe. AZ one time Spain owned
more than two-thirds Of the present area
OF the United States. She owned Mex
leo, Central America, all of South Amer
lea excepting Brazil. and she owned
the greater portion Of the West indies.
OF all these magnificent possessions she
has nothing left to-day but Cuba and
Porto Rico, and it is not certain how
long she will retain control Of them
Her colonial policy has been one Of
greed and oppression, and not infre-
quen,ly she has resorted 10 fire and
sword to force her subjects into sub
mission, and despite the great losses
which have come to her. she to-day con-
tinues the policies OF an hundred years
ago. No one believes that the Cubans
would be in revolt to-day if the adj
min!stra:ion OF the island had been
what It should have been. Instead Of
dealing fairly by the people Of this rich
ana always prosperous province. the
Imperial government has fastened upon
It laws more suitable to the freebooter
than a civilized people. The whole
aim of the Spaniards seems to have
been to control that they might rob and
plunder, and The result Is. that at the
last resort those who would otherwise
have been peaceful subjects are turned
into open enemies. One by one Spain
mas seen her possessions slip from her
grasp, and In time Cuba and Porto
RICO, the last of her possessions in The
western hemisphere. will 60 the same
way. It is destiny.

HOW Lone WILL. III HE?

The New York Journal Of Commerce
and Commercial advertiser, Of recent
date, contains an interesting article on
The Division Of Exports" treating the
subject at great length. After careful
resume OF the export business Of the
ports Of New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia, it compares tho business Of
these ports with those South OF them, cs-
pecially Baltimore, Norfolk and New
port News, showing loss to the North
ern ports. which leads it to say
THE loss OF this port is plain
enough, though it may not be so
easy to trace the beneticaries. as
Philadelphia is also loser. But
while we have not the figures for the
earlier year for Norfolk and New

stages OF this diversion, and Of
course there has not yet been time

Our contemporary asks question
not easy to answer but that it asks

diversion of the export business from
the port Of New York to the ports Of the
South, Is much greater than has been
