Freedom for Cuba.

Advocates of the administration
policy says the Cubans are not capa-
BILE of governing themselves.
This is, in the first place, a very
pitiful beginning of the question.
How do these peace-at-any-price
people know that the Cubans cannot
govern themselves? By what right
do they make such a claim?
1t is simply the barest and boldest
of assumptions to say that the men
who have held the forces of Spain at
bay for three long years of fighting
have not the capacity for self-govern-
ment.
To such unsupported assertion may
be commended reading of Macau-
lays essay on Milton. 1t is full of
wisdom and contains matter worthy
of serious study on the part of these
self-constituted judges.
Especially forceful is the following
paragraph, which touches with keen
analysis the weak points of the argu-
ment against acknowledging the in
dependence of Cuba. Macaulay says:
MANY politicians of our time are
in the habit of laying it down as a
self-evident proposition that no
people ought to be free until they are
fit to use their freedom. The maxim
is worthy of the fool in the old story
who resolved not to go into the water
till he had learned to swim! If men
are to wait for liberty till they
become wise and good in slavery,
they may indeed wait forever!"
That the Cubans may wait for
ever" for their freedom is doubtless
what the republican administration
desires. In double sense is Mckinley
defending Spanish bonds. But the
people OF the United States do not
look at the matter in that light. In
spite of the administration delay,
Cuba will be free. Chicago Dispatch.
AS we seem to be on the eve of great
events in April 1898 it is worth while
to take note of the momentous events
that have happened in this month
since the country undertook to ex-
pound to the world the practical
doctrine of liberty. Here is part of
the story OF the Aprils of American
history:
April 10, 1775-Battle of lexington.
April "a, 1S46-First engagement of
the Mexican war.
April IL, 861-Sumpter fred on.
April 10, 1s61-Sumter surrendered.
April IA, 1se1-Lincoln's first call
for troops.
April 8, 1s65-Lee surrendered.
April IA, 1865-Lincoln assassinated
-Elkader Register.
April %, 1s9s-War declared against
Srain.

OBITUARY..
ALBERT HARMON.

AAoG1t4 AA4bMONs
Mr.. Albert Harmon died Mt his resi-
dence on Congress street, yesterday, after
a long and painful illness from heart
disease.
Mr.. Harmon was born in Portland
when it was part of Massachusetts,
March /, 1917, and was therefore over 81
yeals of age. Up to a few months before
his death he was about the city, in the
possession of all his faculties, keenly
alive to all that was going on. His
grandfather, on the paternal side, was
Josiah Harmon. who married Rebecca
Freeman, and on the maternal side Daniel
Mussey, uncle of the late John Mussey.
Young Harmon at a tender age attended
Miss Talbots school and took part with
the school children in the welcome to
Gen. Lafayette when thu great French
commander visited Portland in 1926.
Later he attended Master Jackson s
school. At II years of age he entered the
Argus composing room when Thomas
Todd was proprietor of that paper, and
when Mr.. Todd was appointed postmaster
Ira Berry succeeded him, and Mr.. Har-
mon boarded with Mr.. Berry. In 1889,
when war was threatened with Great
Britain-what is generally known as the
Madaweska war-Mr. Harmon enlisted
and served with his company until hon.
orably discharged. After returning from
the martial field he resumed his trade
and worked on the Transcript. Then he
went to Boston and was employed ON the
Boston Times, but the compQsitors on
that journal didn't think that they were
treated right, and sope of them, includ-
ing Mr.. Harmon, withdrew and estab-
lished the Boston Bee, which proved a
great success for several years. When the
Bee went to pieces Mr.. Harmon went on
the Journal
About the close Of the war Mr.. Har.
mon returned to Portland and In part
nership With Mr. Cooling, opened fruit
store on the spot on Congress stEeet,
where Beaver block now stands, the firm
name being Harmon & Cooling. For a
number Of years Mr.. Harmon has not
been in active business.
Mr.. Harmon married Miss Eliza Skill
lings, but they never had any children.
He leaves besides his nephew, Mr.. George
a. Harmon, three pieces, Mrs r. B.
Swift of this city; Mrs. 9. w. Studley
of Brooklyn, N. Y, and Mrs. G. W. Hol-
| den of Boston.
He was member of the old White
Coats Of the Portland Light Infantry and
when the Press Club was in existence
an excellent memory for people and
places Of the olden time and wrote much
| for the press here and elsewhere. He was
a most agreeable, companionable man
and will be much missed.
