General Hsrtwell, who represents
the Scrymser Co. in Hawaii, seems
to forget that these islands are ma
turally the main resting point for
any cable in the Pacific. We are
told, that if tho franchise asked for
is not granted, Hawaii may be left
in the cold and an American Japa-
nese cable built without consider
alton to this country. 1t is difficult
to believe that such an idea can ever
have entered the heads of the cheer
full promoters of the Scrymser cable.
1t is immaterial which power lays a
cable in the Pacific, and which
countries are to be connected by the
electric wires. The fact remains
that no cable will ever be con-
structed across the Pacific from
North to South, or from East to
West without touching at Hawaii.
Why then grant an exclusive fran
chise to a company, which will not
be able to do stroke OF work, until
it has obtained privileges and sub
sides for line between Japan and
the Pacific Coast, The promoters
are trying to play bluff, and we
are happy to know that our Govern
ment is on to their game. Hawaii
cannot afford to grant any exclusive
cable franchise and then wait years
before cable reaches our shores
Let us keep quiet, and in due time
one or more cables will touch here
without Hawaii being asked to grant
franchises or vote subsidies,

LAMB IN LUNENBURG.
Richmond District Congressman
Speaks for Epes.

LUNENBURG, VA, October 1o.-(Spe-
cial)-This was a great day for the DEM
ocrats Of Lunenburg. The reputation OF
Congressman Lamb had preceded him
here, and a full turn out of the people
was not wanting. They came from tar
and near and from all corners OF this
county and the adjacent counties The
attention accorded him could not but be
gratifying to the most exacting. FOR one
hour and forty minutes he held the close
attention Of all. and scored point after
point against his opponents He pegah
his remarks by a touching reference 10
tho old soldiers present with whom he
served from 1861 to 1865. II is needless 10
ada that their response was hearty in the
extreme. He then spoke words OF praise
for our candidate, the Hon. s. =. Epes,
referring 10 the steal whereby Epes was
robbed OF his seat in Congress.
Captaln Lamb also paid his respects 70
Mr. Thorp who was speaking at the
same time not very far distant. Inc
Captain said It would give him pleasure
To meet Mr. Thorp in joint discussion
and show up his variations and inconsist-
ences in their true light. He next reter-
red to the differences in the two parties,
saving that the tariff was not the chler
issue that divided them, since, ii INC
words of Hancock, the tariff was only
a local issue" but the chief matter OF
division. was the financial question, and
on that they were as far apart as the
two poles.
CAPTAIN Lamb handled the financial
question as our people have never heard
II handled before, and made clear to all
many matters which had before been in
yolved in obscurity. He said that or the
four great panics that had occurred In
the history OF the country, two were un-
der low tariff and two under high tarln
laws. He pointed out the errors in the
Treasury statements, and declared that
there is only IS to so per capita In ac-
tuaI circulation. He advocated the issue
| OF treasury notes, backed by the taxes
| OF the government, saying that our needs
are TO be measured BY our productive
canacitv and our consumptive ability.
CAPTAIN Lambs speech was mastery
effort and will do much 10 relieve the
| anathv in this section. He closed with an
| earnest appeal TO all Democrats to be
| tr,,e 10 themselves and true TO their
nominee. and thereby rebuke the action
of the Republicans in unseating Mr. Epes.
Ar the close of Captain Lambs speech
he was surrounded by throng of peo-
nile anxious to grasp his hand and thank
him for his visit to them and his efforts
| in their behalf.

badly Considering This Subject.
PARIS. October 1O.-The United States
Peace Commission held two sessions to-
day. They were devoted to acquiring and
weighing evidence relative to all the ques-
tions under consideration by the COM
missoners. 1t is believed that the ques-
tions now being discussed relate to Cuba
and tho adjustment OF the debt Of that
island.
The Paris newspapers show evidence OF
anxiety in behalf of the Spanish cause.
The Gaulois this morning reviews the
political situation, and draws the con-
elnsion that "between fhe alleged Repub-
lican purpose Of expansion and the DEM
ocratic opposition thereto. President Nc
Kinley and the United States commission
will be inspired, after all, with the sent-
ments OF generosity which honor a VIC
torious nation"
WE SHOULD BE GENEROUS.
The keynote of these expressions seems
TO have been sounded by Spanish diplo-
mat to an American here last week, the
diplomat saying that the United States
should be generous TO Spain. That re-
mark and the utterances Of the French
press give to each other added signifi-
cancs.

saws the cost of the Cuban and Philippine
