Just how the action of the queen regent
in ordering an armistice in Cuba is going
to affect the situation cannot be foretold.
1t all depends upon General Gomez. The
Spaniards have already tried to make
terms with the Cuban junta in the United
States without success, and now it is the
understanding that they are trying to see
what they can do with General Gomez
the commander in chief of the insurgent
armies. Gomez has more than once said
that so far as he is concerned, it is liberty
or death, and there is not much reason to
believe that he will even respect the arm
istice. Anyway, the situation.will deter
mine whether or not the Cubans really
have government that is deserving of
recognition. II Gomez yields, the gov
ernment is no good; but if he stands
firm, then it will look like the insurgents
ought to be recognized.

with it forcibly nor, as far as has ap-
nent any intention Of so doing. We
have rendered our good offices to Spain to
settle it, but Spain has rejected them.
We have talked some of purchasing the
island for the Cubans but Spain has
caused it to be known that she would not
sell on any terms.
In the light of these facts we are moved
to ask agaln what is this difficulty which
1t is hoped will be settled peaceably?
Some would reply perhaps that it is our
du1y on humanitarian ground to stop the
carnage in Cuba, and that the perform
ance OF this duty will involve us in
trouble with Spain which it may not be
posi- bic to settle peaceably. If it be
duty for us to stop the carnage in Cuba
we ought to do it of course. But is 1t a
duty to use force to that end? Doubtless
it is duty to use all our moral influence
aud this we are doing and
have done, but are we under obligation
to go further and put in jeopardy the
lives and property of our own citizens for
| that purpose? Shall we truly serve the
cause of humanity by plunging two large
nations into war, and bringing into &C.
ton all the death dealing enginery that
modern ingenuity has contrived, to stop
| the killing that Is going on in the island
of Cuba Before we undertake war for
| the benefit of humanity we ought to be
very sure that the results we expect will
| follow. But it is by no means clear that
they will follow in the case under con-
sideration. The people of Cuba are dying
now of starvation. The first effect Of q
war between the United States and Spain
will be to increase the deaths from this
cause, for the island will be blockaded
and supplies from the outside which are
their only reliance for relief will be cut
| off. Such var will also increase for q
time certainly the savagery of the struggle
now going on there. In the end we may
free Cuba from Spanish rule, but we are
| only going to do it by increasing tor q
| time the suffering and misery on the is
| land, and imperilling the lives and prop
erty of our own citizens And after Cuba
| Is lfe0 Wud6 tHel! IL We AdFo pun du
end to the fighting in the name of human
lily we cannot consistently refrain from,
using force if need be for preventing its
recurrence. In short we shall have to
maintain protectorate over the island
and that may impose upon our own peo-
pie heavy burdens 1t seems clear to us
that if we arrange the probable good and
bad results to humanity from forcible in

IN MEMORIAM.

The trustees of the Public Library have
passed these resolutions in memory of the
Rev. Ephraim G. Cummings:
Resolved, That whereas the Rev.
Ephraim G. Cummings, for many years
a member of the board of directors of the
Portland Public Library, has been re-
moved from our mum Der by death;
Resolved, That we, the board of direc-
tors of the Portland Public Library,
would express our sense of the very
serious loss which has befallen us in the
passing away of SO valuable citizen of
our community, and man OF so many
rare and high qualities. That we recog-
nize in him one who by his fine percep-
ton of Hwhat has been best thought and
said in the world; by his large apprecia-
ton of nobIeaideas, by his familiarity
with the best literature, was peculiarly
enrolled to serve the purposes of our
library both as q general director of the
institution, and also, and more especial
". as member Of it's book committee.
In this capacity, we have long witnessed
erring good taste, which refused to sane
ton the admission of any book that was
not ennobling in its influence and
character. 10 this high seryice-perhaps
one of the most important that can be
rendered-Mr. Cummings brought ex'
ceptional talents, and remarkable will
ingness to give faithful and conscientious
attention to whatever work lay before. 1T
is by such intellectual insight, such
purity of aim and such nobleDess of pur-
pose, that a community is raised, and the
general good Is largely served.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered upon the records of the library,
and that copy of them be sent to Mrs.
Cummings
Henry Deering, Thomas l.. Talbot, John
A. Bellows, Committee.

Guilty with Spain is that it is hoped will

ACITIZEN DISGUISE s
One of the Vital Questions of the Day.
Fraught With Interest to Portland.

If there is anything more convincing in
local indorsation when compared with
foreign, If there is anything more con-
vincing in the opinions held by people we
know that those entertained by utter
strangers then Portland citizens have the
golden opportunity of their lives to
decide these points when they read the
views and opinions of Mrs Clara j. Sher-
bourne, of 40 Wilmot st. She says: "If
only those who suffer from kidney all
ments would try Doan's Kidney Pills,
they would, like me, be surprised. My
back troubled me for years; physicians
who diagnosed my case stated that 1t
arose from my kidneys. When grippe

slant nursing and when contracted 1t
myself it left me in a very serious con-
dition. During severe attacks could not
stoop for the pain in the lumbar region.
l could not straighten up or do the most
trivial act without being in torture. The
kidneys we re too active for the secretions
were too copious. I knew what was
wrong-how to right it was the mystery.
1t seems odd for professional nurse who
had great deal of experience in medicine
to read newspaper accounts of Doans'
Kidney Pills and it may appear more sim
gular that went to ID. Fl. Hay q Sons
drug store at the junction of Free and
Middle streets for box. 1 did, however.
Had any body told me before that it. was
possible to get relief as quick as I did
would have been 10th to believe 1t. You
can send anyone who wishes to know
more minute particulars to me and I will
be only too glad to tell them personally.

be built. The central object is the study
of the life histories of plants; their modes
of reproduction, manner of life, etc. The
book is laboratory manual, yet the prac-
teal studies are arranged in brief out
line classification of plants to give the
pupil definite idea of the successive
steps followed by nature in the develop
ment of the plant life OF the earth.
1t follows the method recommended for
secondary schools by the committee OF
ten, and already applied in leading public
and private schools. The book is well
balanced, gives no undue prominence to
any part, and provides at all points
sufficient amount of practical work to aid
the teacher in developing the subject,
and at the same time to allow him to fol.
low his own ideas in selecting lines of
original work and research for his class.
So pursued, the study of botany provides
the means of developing habits of close
and accurate observation, and of cuitivat-
ing the reasoning powers that can scarce
ly be claimed for any other branch of
national history.

Short & Harmon, Portland.) The au-
thors of this book have done great SER
vice to the public. especially to the child
rem, by collecting and recording the
most interesting and valuable of the many
important incidents in the early history
of Pennsylvania now almost forgotten.
These chapters and sketches are here
presented in series of entertaining and
atmosphere and feeling Of the early times
and give the reader a more vivid picture
of colonial and pioneer life than volumes
of ordinary narrative could do. The
stories are all of deeply interesting
character and represent every section OF
the state and every period in it's history.
Special effort has been made to present
the less familiar, but by no means less
important incidents in the later history
and development of the state. While the
peace policy Of the Quakers and of the
German colonists dominated it's first set
Elements, Pennsylvania too had its n
dian wars. Its valleys and mountains
witnessed many conflicts between the
pioneer settlers and hostile savages which
have made its history rich in Indian
t ales The pages of history may be chal-
lenged to produce more heroic or tender in
cidents than are described in the Indian
stories included in this book. Children
will delight in reading these, and after
reading them will appreciate more than
ever the struggles. the sufferings, and
the sacrifices Of their pioneer ancestors.

When the Spanish minister asked our
government why we were buying war
ships, Judge Day is said to have replied
by asking why q Spain was sending a
torpedo feet across the ocean. Ger
tainly there is just as much reason to
ask Spain to explain the latter as tosin-
terrogate us as to the former. A torpedo
feet can be of no possible use in the
subjugation of Cuba, for all the ports Of
that islani, where the torpedo fleet
could operate are held by the Spaniards.
In the way of war preparations honors
are easy between theitwoEcountries. and
we have just as much reason to complain
that Spain is threatening US as Spain to
charge that VS. are threatening her.

Ii ia no secret, that the President desires
an early adjournment of Congress and
the placing of the settlement of the Cuban
question entirely in his hands. There
can be no question that interference on
the part OF Congress, which is always lia-
bic to take place when it is In session,
greatly hampers diplomatic negotiations
and even when Congress does not actually
interfere indiscreet speeches on the part
of members may seriously endanger
their success. Of course if an emergency
should arise which should demand the
cooperation of Congress it could be as
sembled with but slight delay.
