There is no doubt that we are under
a solemn obligation to give Cuba
every chance to establish an independent
and stable government of her own, but
that does not mean that we are under
any obligation to assist the insurgents
to establish q government. We refused
TO recognize the republic that they
claimed to have set up, and sent our
troops to the island to terminate Spanish
sovereignty. When that is at an end it
viii be our duty to see that the Cubans
have an opportunity to decide what kind
of government they. want, Eand fair
chance TO establish it. If it turns out
that the present population is incapable
of establishing and maintaining stable
government strong enough to preserve the
peace, it may become our duty,to inter-
fere to rescue the island from anarchy,
but not until that has been demonstrated
will we be justified in interfering, ex-
cept SO far as may be necessary in order
to ensure to the people an opportunity
to express their opinion free from coer-
oion from any source In hort we have
got to give them fair chance to govern
themselves before We make any move
looking to their government.

A COMPLIMENT FOR MAINE.

They do some things very well In the
State of Maine. There was Maine regi-
ment in the camp at Chickamauga that
suffered very seriously from the change OF
climate and the perils of camp life. 1t
had lost fourteen men from camp fevers,
had large proportion of its members In
the hospital, and was losing one man q
day. The surgeons said that the best
chance for the sick mon was to take them
home. The government gave the invalids
asthirty days fnriough, and the State Of
Maine hired big engine and seven Pull
man sleeping cars TO bring them home.
One hundred and twenty Maine boys sick
with typhoid and nalarial feyers and
other diseases, were loaded into that train
and started north. on they wens.to Gin
cinnati, TO Cleveland, to Buffalo, Albany,
Bos ton and on to Portland aud the coun-
try of pine trees and granite. Supplies,
ordered by telegraph, were furn ished Tor
them without money or price, chiefly by
the Red Cross. Delayed ten hours ut
Cleveland by ak-down, their train
was sent to the lake shore, where 1t got
the cool lake breezes, All those sick
soldiers got back to Maine alive. and
most of them improved very decidedly on
the journey. A good job that we'll
done, and an incident of the war worth
embering Harper Bazaar.

LIFE AND TIMEsS OF HANNIBAL
HAMLIN.


Charles E. Hamlin, grandson Of the
war vice presidet, has just completed in
Bangor the manuscript of his book.
The name of the book is to be The Life
and Times of Hannibal Hamlin," with
the sub title, 1.-The War Vice President.
and for Quarter of Century Senator
from Moine."
MIR. Hamlin began the work in Janu-
airy, 1895. The book will be volume of
about 700 pages, and will be issued, If
possible, about Christmas. There are AZ
chapters, with supplement by an emf
nent historian, and It deals very minute
ly with Mr.. Hamlin's anti-slavery career
continuing through a period of 90 years
of national turmoil, and will open up q
peculiar and heretofore untouched field
for students In a history of the slavery
sentiment in Maine and of the influence
of the pro-slayery sentiment in the Leg
islature of this State.
The book will make the most Of the
personal relations of the statesman who
knew intimately every president from
Tyler to McKinley-the latter before bis
presidency. There are few letters, hut
they are important, from Benton, Lin
coin, Sumner. Blaine, Garfield, Mckin-
ley, Preston King and others
Seven chapters are devoted to the Iela-
ton of Mr.. HAmlin to Lincoln. There
Is great fund Of anecdotes In the book,
and Interesting things concerning Ban
eer and Maine, and a chapter on Mr..
HaInlin's ministry to.Spain, with letters
which throw sideIights on the recent war
Mr.. Hamlin In preparing the book has
read the Congressional Record from ls4a
TO 1881. has carefully studied and indexed
more than 10, 900 personal letters received
by his distinguished grandfather, and has
noted the files of Bangor, Portland, Bos-
ton and New York newspapers since 1885.

M'CALLA'S RISE.
An Officer who Has Become the Idol of
the Navy.

He is now 9 apt. Bowman Il. MoOalia,

The gallant commander of the cruiser
Marblehead, now in the harbor, VINO SO
conspiouously distinguished himself IN
the naval engagements around Cuba, ana
particularly at Guantanamo, late last
plight received his commission as captain,
and today assumes the silver eagle ana
four stripes of tibet rank.
But little opportunity. be had for
his friends in this vicinity--and they are
legion among naval officers and others-to
congratulate him upon his advancement,
for the ship which he has now made IA
nous leaves Boston today to partio ipate
in the exercises of the unwilling of the
Champlain monument at Quebec.
This will make everyone's satisfaction
nonesthe less, however, and none will be
more sincere in their happiness at his
advancement than tho sailormen of his
own ship, and those now here or with
the feet to whom his own men have
sung praises of his treatm emit and regard
for them with unstinted vigor.
Capt. McOalla.s commission as q cap
tain at this time comes by reason of his
having been advanced seven numbers in
his grade on Aug. 10 for distinguished
and heroic service during the war.
His exploits and that of his crew and
ship have been published at length in the
Globe at the time OF their occurrence and
again last week upon the arrival of the
only Boston built warship In the modern
navy at this port, and are consequently
familiar to the minds of all.
Capt. MoCalla's advancement of seven
numbers restored him TO the number and
rank he held in the navy prior to 1891,
pended for alleged assault on sailor
named Walker and alleged cruelty to
other sailors Of the crew of the Enter
prise, which he had commanded the sew
eral years previous on the Euro pean STA
ton.
In view of his treatment of former
crews, all of whom speak of him IN the
highest terms, and his assiduity In LOOK
ing after the welfare of Those who have
since served under him, and particularly
of the present crew of the Marblehead, 1t
has long been a current impression In the
service thpt there was some mistake some-
where at the time OF the unfortunate oo-
ourrenoes. In fact, 1t is said that Com
mander MoCana took the blame aud pun
ishment as commanding officer to shield
some one else.
Bearing out this statement it is well
known that he has invariably remarked
since that when he again commande
ship The would be Its commander His
record toward his crew, and in fact. to
the marines Mt Guantanamo as welt
has practically made him the Idol Of the
sailors of the navy.
"The four stripes and the silver eagle
is not borne By woYthier shoulders In the
navy today" was the Endorsement OF one
of his own crew last night. and they ara
all glad he has gos them at last.
Capt. McCalla now ranks next below
Capt Goodrich. In the list Of captains.

CURRENT COMMENT.
LITTLE BUT EXCEEDING WISE.
New York WORLDLY

Maine is one of the smaller States not
only in area but also in the really impor-
tant matter OF population. She has only
four representatives in the lower house of
the Congress. Yet Of these four-all of
them just re .elected-three are men Of
national fame and two are known
throughout the civilized world. Further,
these three Maine men dominate the
House of Representatives. Reed is the
Csar, Dingley is at the head OF the Com
mite on Ways and Means. which holds
the purse-strlngs to the nation tho head
of the Important Committee on Naval
Affairs but also is man Of large personal
equation. And In the Senate this small
state has Hale and Frye. men OF high
character and Of national reputation.
The reason is that Maine tries to get good
public servants and when she gets them
tries to keep them. Clearly the State of
Maine is of the class of which, Solo.
mon said, are "Iittle but exceeding wise. !"

One objection to the plsn Of investigat-

pointed out by ex-senator Henderson who

declined. He says that the com

would have no power to compel the at
tendance of witnesses. nor could it COM
pei them to testify. All the witnesses
would have to be volunteers, and in a
case that has excited so much public and

would be likely to be few and for the
