The proposition of California cor
poration to raise the wreck Of the Maine
now sunken deep in the mud Of Havana
harbor, will arouse great interest among
tho people who still remember the
Maine" despite the protests Of certain
Observation-Disclosures persons that so
to remember our famous and fated war
snip is deplorsbly wrong.
That the administration would cheer
pay any reasonable sum for salvage
should the remnant Of the Maine be re-
scued from Cuban waters We may we'll
assume with confidence. Reasons Of
sentiment ami patriotism warrant the
belief that what is left Of the noble that
warship would be held and kept in
honor BY the government

Robert P Porter's report on eondi-
tons in Cuba goes deeply into the tariff
and currency and leaves other things Of
greater popular interest for future re-
ports. These matters are most directly
involved in recognizing Cuba; they
naturally come first in the consideration
OF the government What the people
cant to know is the condition Of agricul-
tire in the island, means Of communal
cation, opportunities for trade, and in
general what openings exist for capital
and enterprise there, and how to avail
'of them. Blu these things come after
ward The president, no doubt, rscog-
nlzes that government Of Cubs must not
only begin With arbitrary military rule,
but must continue such for sometime
There IS no material in the Cuban people
cut o. which to make stable govern
ment and any civilians sent out to
govern chem would need to be backed
up by military. So the Administrations
efforts are directed to acquiring such in
formation as is necessary to enable the
military governors to act intelligenily.
The information that Congress may re-
quire to guide its Legislation for Cuba
will come later.

The Democratic cOnferrees of this

to continue balloting for choice,
having made failure ut. Il previous
meeting to nominate an opponent to
VIM. H. Woodin. Up to the time
of going to press, three sessions have
been held but without choice. During
the first session four delegates voted
for Davis. of Northumberland, and a
like number for Polk, of MOntour.
Later, Fritz of Columbia, and Davis
received two votes each and POLK
four. As this is not conference of
men who are about to become dem
ocrats but democrats already, of the
original patent, who show the SINGER
ity of their principles by open and
OutSpoken devotion to Il platform of
fifty cent dollars and sprays to the
wheels of all industries, it will not be
surprising if this session ends in II

Band tournament held at that place
September >. "The division of prizes
caused considerable dissatisfaction.
Many spectators and not a few band
men claimed that the first prize
should have been awarded to the
Bernice Band. We have been told
that a lady who was on the ground
alleges that she heard member OF
the Stevensville Band tell the judge
before the contest, that there was Sll
I i'm it for him.. 1t is also said that
/ Stevensville had two or three players
from Wilkes Barre. OF course these
| remarks are rumOrs and we do not
/ know whether they are true or not
but if there is any foundation to the
allegations, then the judge was not I;
fit or competent man for the position.
The above is an exact copy of what
was said in the Lacyville paper o
September I, and goes to show what
was said last week, was the truth
and that our band did not get wha
it Justly won at the contest, but there
is one thing that is in the boys favo
if they did not get first prize as the.
should have got; they won the goot
will of the people, and that. is goot
deal more than the judge has got ant
in fact some of the bands.
