WAR TALK.

If it be true, as reported, that an
American citizen has been foully
murdered in Spanish prison in
Cuba, this government should not be
slow to demand the fullest possible
reparation and to give the Spanish
authorities to understand, and in
terms that cannot be misconstrued,
that this sort of thing will not be
tolerat ted, even if immediate resort
to the force of arms be necessary for
the protection of Americans against
such cold-blooded atrocities.
There are Indications that the in
coming administration will not
handle the Spanish tyrants with
gloved hands as the present admin
istration seems to have done.
Relating to this matter, Senator
Sherman, who will be Secretary OF
State in few days, in an interview
with the New York Journals Wash
ington corresr ondent, expresses
himself quite clearly as to the duty
of this country. From his statement
we take the following extracts:
eve have right to interfere if
either Spain Or Cuba fails to carry
on civilized warfare, though the
death of Ruiz is quite another mat
ter.
"Then if the investigation shows
that an American has been murd-
cred, Spain will be asked to make
reparation.
elf she refuses to do so the United
States ought to force her by declar-
ing war. We cannot stand idly by
and permit the Spaniards to butch
er Americans as they please. We
are bound to protect our citizens,
and | think Americans in Cuba will
be protected even if we have to resort
to arms.
Congress has done its duty and
there is nothing more to do save to
recognize the in,iis dependence of Cuba.
L cannot say what will be done, but.
think these atrocities, if they are
true as reported, should be stopped
Immediately"
In this connection, it is reported
that Consul General Lee is Disguised
at the ignoring of his urgent mes
sa es and has threa tened to resign
his post unless warships are sent and
the Government at Washington
takes a stand that will enable him
to protect Americans in Cuba.
Commenting upon the situation,
the New York Journal says, editori-
ally:
''If it is true that the Spaniards
murdered Ruiz in his Cuban prison
national self-respect as well AZ
national honor demands that the
United States declare war against
Spain. That is the view Senator
Sherman takes. 1t is also the view
every other American takes who has
a drop of blood in him.
War is a dreadful thing; but there
are things more dreadful than even
war, and one OF them is dishonor"
OF course, American honor mast be
maintained and American citizenship
must be protected, at all hazards,
but We need to be certain that the
circumstances warrant it before the
command to fire il given.

to the mutual and general benefit of
our people. Let us have our potato
fields, our celery patches, our wheat
fields, our corn fields, etc., right near

In other words, let our farmers be
encouraged to raise for our consump

doing, we will not only help the

Let No Man Dare Cypress.

Rocky Mount Argonaut.
There is some talk of making the
management OF our State asylums a
matter of politics, of rewarding
party workers by putting the re-
treats OF these helpless fellow crea-
lures in their charge and thereby
oustiDg the present most Efficient
officials. We trust this will not be
done. Gentlemen of the Legislature,
if your parties must provide for their
benchmen, we ask you in the name of
our common humanity, to find posi-
tions for them elsewhere. No man
dare say that our insane asylums
are not broadly, intelligently, grand
" managed. Then what an outrage
it would be- to put untried and, per-
haps, ubfi5ted persons in the place of
the present managers. Those upon
whom God has laid bis Christening
hand, let no man dare to Cypress.
