1885. In 1887 he was elected to the

credit to himself and to the entire sat-
isfaction of the people. Since 1891
he has been the city recorder of War

necessary qualifications for a model
county auditor. He is successful
business man, good accountant, is
familiar with county affairs, and is
courteous and accommodating to all.
The office dzzeotmty uditori IS one OF

Candidate for Sheriff..

Marshall county elected him Sheriff.
His opponent in that election was
one OF the strongest and ablest men
in the populist party, yet MIR. Green's
popularity was SO great that he was
elected by:a very large majority. As
public officer he has discharged the
duties of his Office with credit to him
self and to the satisfaction of the
people. He has made a good sheriff.
Again he has been nominated for this
high and important Office, and he
certainly is entitled toe reelection.
He deserves and should haye the
votes of all those who voted for him
two years ago, and of a great many
more, making his election practically
unanimous.

Intefyenti6n without Recognition May
Make Us Liable For Cuba's Debts.

Intefyenti6n without Recognition May
Make Us Liable For Cuba's Debts.
WASHINGTON. April s.-The steer
ing committee appointed by the confer
ence Of house Republicans last We'd
nesday to canvass the situation TO see
how many Republicans would stand by
them IL the occasion arose for inde-
pendent action and in a general way
decide on course Of procedure held
another meeting yesterday afternoon.
From the reports presented II was
claimed that more than 100 Republicans
will act with them.
The main question before the COM
mittee was as to whether they should
stand for independence and interven-
tlon or for Intervention without inde-
pendence.
The feeling in the committee has been
strong In favor OF the recognition of
the Cuban republic, but they do not
desire to break with the administration
except as a last resort Meantime some
OF them are much exercised over the
legal phases Of the effect Of interven-
tion without Independence.
A fear was expressed among the
members that Intervention by the Unit
ed States might bind the United States
for the SlOO,oOo0OO Of spanlsh-Cuban
bonds issued against the revenues Of
the island. Mr. Tawney OF Minnesota
stated before the committee that some
writer's on International law maintain
ed that In case Of the requirement Of
territory by conquest all the local OBJ
legations OF that particular territory
are assumed. and II was argued that II
the United States interviewed with the
ultimate intention of turning over the
island to the Cubans the United States
would practically have acquired the is
/ land by conquest and then conferred 4
as a gift to the Cubans. In this view
OF the case the United States might be
held liable for the bonds The senti-
ment Of the committee is against the
| United States assuming any such possi-
/ BILE liability.
Others. like Mr.. Hopkins Of Illinois.
/ did not think Mr.. Tawneys conten-
ton tenable. But the committee lacked
light on the subject The information
al authorities will be looked up by the
members Of the committee tonight. and
an attempt win be made TO ascertain
exactly I'm what way the bonds are a
lien on the Cuban revenues.
Mr.. Hopkins argues that the bonds
were issued by Spain and the revenues
OF Cuba pledged as security. II Spain
loses Cuba as a result of war, the Sc
curity Of the bondholder Is simply gone.
