JUDGE RHENs CANVASS.
His Meetings in Lee County-Large
Crowds.

PENNINGTON GAP. VA, August 10
(Special)-Ju Rhea, the Democratic
nominee for Congress in the Ninth Dis
trict has spent the week canvassing I'm
Lee county. He began on Monday Court
day. at Jonesville and spoke two hours TO
large and attentive gathering. His
meeting there, as well as at the seven
other places at which he spoke. was
largely attended by Republicans. MANY of
whom cheered with the Democrats when
General Walkers political record was re-
ierred TO. This is significant, for IL is
unusual in this county to see many Re
publicans at Democratic speakings. II is
really interesting and instructive TO hear
the Judges caustic but gentlemanly com
ments on Walkers political record. Nor
does he stop at Walkerism, but descants
effectively upon the war-bond issue and
stamp act. The Judge is great speaker
Lee county will give him a great ma
Jority. He goes from here to RIand
county.

Cuba-s Future

The Presidents proclamation. gu lin

It is majestic. Nothing comparable to

Just in the proportion, however, that

Prevented from wreaking their ven
geance on the disarmed and helpless
Spaniards. they threaten reprisals on
Americans. II is suggested that they
Will refuse to cooperate with the Am r
ican troops hereafter and leave them to
shift for themselves.
This is interesting but not important
Neither the Cuban nsraIs nor the Gu
ban soldiers have been Of the smallest
assistance so far and little or nothing
is expected Of them in the future. All
accounts agree that they are indolent
indifferent. and neither grateful noI
brave. The United States having un-
dertaken to fight their battles, they pro-
pose to leave both the responsibility and
the labor where, in their opinion, it be-
longs.
It is just as well, perhaps that it
should be 80. In driving the Spaniards
out Of Cuba, America is performing a
duty which it owes to civilization.

spect for the opinions of mankind may

the latter are still in possession Of lie army.
