JUSTICE BREWERS VIEWS.
To Evacuate Cuba Would Precipi'
tate Untold Horrors.

BURLINGTON CVt). Aug. illus
tice David j. Brewer of the Supreme
Court. who has come from Washington
will spend the remainder OF the sum-
mer at his cottage at Thompson's
Point. He said in regard to peace ne
gotiations:
Peace is now certain. / do not
know what the terms will be and l can
only guess at what may be agreed upon
by the two nations. They will compel
the surrender of Porto Rico to the
United States and evacuation by Spain.
Evacuation of Cuba brings to us as a
nation grave responsibility and the al
termath of the contest may prove much
more troublesome than the war itself.
We proclaimed, when the resolutions
passed Congress, that we would free
Cuba and that we did not want it our
selves.
Now, if we drive the Spanish from
Cuba and leave her without any fore
ible interference, it will be greater ruin
than to have left the Spanish there. We
owe to Cuba to preserve order by force.
whether it may be one, two or five
years, until she shall prove herself cap
able Of government. l believe that
to leave Cuba without an established
government to hold her people in check
would be to precipitate horrors worse
than those of the French revolution.
Our obligation to Cuba is not fulfilled
until the complete establishment of self
government.
Taking possession of Porto Rico is
called by men of the army and navy

viii a
We have, however, to manage the
island, which is a matter of the grav-
est difficulty The inhabitants are not
fit for self government The colonial
administrations, such as European ma
tions have established, seem to us
violation of our ideas of self-govern-
ment. / suppose we Will have to try,
though.
The possession of Hawaii seems JUS
titled by arguments of military and
naval men that the people are easy of
government and not turbulent or quar-
relsome. l think Senator Hoar's speech
on this matter is the best resume of the
subject pro and con which I have seen.
so far as the Philippines are con-
cerned, some men high in authority
have told us that We must have at least
coaling station there. Beyond that,
while We do not know the Presidents
views upon the matter, I think we
should be relieved from responsibility
as soon as we can fairly. l am directly
opposed to the Introduction of the CO.
lonial system in that portion of the
world. 1t is not a matter of territory
or distance. We look TO Alaska, but its
population was small and their coming
in as part of us did not affect us, but
to bring in from one country six to
ten million savages as part of our ma
tional existence, to my mind, freight
ed with untold dangers. If we can get
rid of the responsibility and do justice
to the people there l hope to do so. I
believe in following the advice of
George Washington, to avoid all en-
tangled alliances, and in the Monroe
doctrine

GAMBLING STOPPED.
No More Poolselling or Bookmak-

CHICAGO. Aug. 11.-Gambling al
Hawthorne race track ceased suddenly
to-day by order of Judge Burke Of the
Circuit Court, who issued an injunction
restraining the officers of the Chicago
Racing Association from permitting
poolselling or bookmaking at the course
John Brenock and j. c. Burke secured
the order as the latest and most effect
i've move in the race track war. They
charged that their interest in the prop
erty, as stockholders of the corporation
is endangered by repeated violations OF
the gambling laws, and they make affi-
davit to support their contention that

THE CERRUTI AFFAIR.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-By exer-
cising the good offices of the United
States tactfully, Secretary Day prob
ably has succeeded in averting a severe
crisis in the relations between Italy and
Colombia, growing out of the Cerruti
affair
cablegram was received at the de-

that out of regard for the United States,
the ltallan Government had telegraph
ed Admiral Candiani, at Carthagena,
Colombia, to give the Colombian Gov
ernment eight months time in which
to settle with Cerruti's creditors under
the terms of President Cleyeland's s
award.
While Colombia has not yet been
heard from in acceptance of this prop
osition, it is not doubted here that it
will be accepted.

EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION,

One of the duties Of the new legisla-
ture-and it should be among the first
will be to provide some means by
which an exemption from taxation 10
a reasonable amount shall be assured
1t would take constitutional amend
ment to provide for specific exemption.
but there is more than one way by
which the same end could be attained
by statute.
One way would be 10 exempt all goods
from forced levy and sale for taxes. up
to the amount Of $500. The objection 10
this would be that the tax would have
to be levied. and it would be carried on
the books as fictitious asset.
Another way would be to exempt all
heads of families from taxation up to
the amount of $500.
The former is the more awkward,
and Yet IL is probably the most effica-
cious way Of temporarily overcoming
the difficulty. As $500 has been the fig
| ure AZ which exemption has been sat
for so many years. that probably would
meet with the least objection: hut above
that a citizen undoubtedly should pay
taxes. and there are many men own
ing $500 worth of property and less who
| ought also to pay
| According 10 the authorities the con-
stitutional professions requiring equal

/ RECOUNT DEMANDED.

The Republican county candidates
ought by all means TO demand a recount.
II liz not al all certain that they have
been counted out, but IL is certain that
the county commissioners and the fusion
judges, aided and abetted by the fu-
sion campaign committee, perpetrated a
most shameful and reprehensible out
rage on all the voters OF King county
when they proceeded to the very limits
of their power and virtually confiscated
all the election machinery. 1t was de-
iiberate, systematic attack on the right
Of suffrage 1t was an arbitrary abuse OF
authority without parallel in the entire
political annals OF this city or county.
and altogether unheard of in any en-
lightened community in a Northern
state. 1t placed the ballot of every citi-
zen in jeopardy. and threw under sus-
picion the honesty and fairness OF the
entire election.
II is not sufficient for the fusionists
to declare that they followed the prece-
dent established by Republicans. II
the Republican party, which has al
ways stood for free ballot and fair
count both North and South, has thus
betrayed its own principles and stulti-
fed It's record, 1t richly merited the
local defeat that overwhelmed ii two
years since. But it is not true that the
Republican majority in King county
has ever taken unfair advantage of the
minority in making UP the election
boards. 1t has been its unvarying rule
to give its opponents one Judge and one
clerk. all that they had right to ask, and
all that Republicans consider they had
a right to demand in the recent election.
Let there be a recount. Let us know
IL the public Endorses this dangerous
and discreditablc business. II is a mat
ter beyond and above the success of any
candidate or any party. IL is a blow at
the freedom OF the ballot itself, and is
the concern of every citizen, every
voter. who loves his country, is jeal
Gus of It's institutions and desires that
the majority shall rule. But he wants
TO know that the majority does rule.
