somewhat similar in character. II is plain
that Cuba and Porto Rico will become
formidable competitors with Florida and
| California winter resorts. We entertain no
doubt that tens OF thousands OF Ameri-
cans will annually journey to those Is
lands in search OF health and pleasure.
And, what with Hawaii, Cuba. and
Porto Rico, we may expect that the fruit
trade of California and Florida will also
suffer Certainly Cuba. which Is so hear
our shores, will be in POSITION 10 sell
US very cheaply oranges. lemons, ba-
nanas. and pineapples.
1t may be presumed The United States
will not surrender thu advantages OF
trade that are now almost within our
reach by reason OF the success OF our
arms, and IL we are going 70 make Ctta
a market for our goods We could hardly
shut our markets to her products. The
fruit trade of Cuba Is uncomfortable
now. compared to what u might be made
with our help But there's the rub. Any
thing that we do Tor that country in that
direction would be hurtful 10 our homo
interestsl
SO, too, the States that produce tho
sugar-beet would have to compete with
the rich and incxnaustible sugar-cane
fields OF Porto Rice. Cuba, AMI Hawaii.
How about that? 1t there is TO be free
trade between us and our Colonies, or de-
Tendencies, will It be possible for us to
grow the sugar-beet proftably? We sup
pose not. AT any rate. little is now said
In the papers about the sugar-beet in
dustry, though six months ago it was a
subject that interested editors and agri-
culturists very much.
Really, when we come to take COM
prehensive view of the situation, IL APP
pears that our acquisition of southern
territory will have a far-reaching effect.
No doubt the general result will be bene-
fetal to the country, but in the matter OF
winter resorts, and in that of
with our fruit and beet
growers, it IS easy to see that special |
interests may suffer in way that may |
not prove very acceptable/to the persons |
most concerned.

OUR CONGRESSMAN.

Hon. John Lambs first term OF service
IN the United States House of Representa-
tlves has proved so satisfactory to his
constituents he was unanimously nomi-
mated for a second term by the Demo-
cratic District Convention, held here yes
terday.
That means that he will be reelected.
II may be expected u at the republicans
will put up a candidate against him. but
he who accepts their nomination will but
ride for a fall. Usually this is a safe
Democratic district, and we feel sure our
nominee viii be able to bring out our vote
In handsome style.
Captain Lamb is popular man. and in
his representative capacity he has done
as much for the district as any other man
could have done in a House that is over
whelmingly Republican He has neglected
no interest of ours, and has never failed
to oblige constituent where il was pTac-
ticable for him TO do so. He is full of
energy and zeal, and we know of none
truer to country and friends. Though his
legislative experience has been brief, he
has made up for lack in that direction
by extraordinary industry. Furthermore,
he has shown capacity which we may
expect will be developed and enlarged by
further service.
In comforting the honor and response
biIities OF the nomination upon Captain
Lamb. yesterdays convention secured for
the party a candidate who will be sue
cess as a vote-getter and who will faith
q fully represent our interests in the Con-
gress of the United States
The resolutions adopted by the conven-
tion are in harmony with the position of
the national Democratic party and in ac-
cord with the views of our people, And
SO we may consider ourselves well equip
ped for the political contest which will
soon be upon us and which will grow in
interest as the excitement that accom-
panied active hostilities against Spain
dimlnishes.
All our nominations for Congress have
now been made. and are as follows First

WAR NOTES.

The Washington Post states that the
appointment of Military Governor for
Cuba is being discussed, with a strong
probability that Major-General NJ. c.
| Butler, of South Carolina, will be Sc
| lected." 1t learns that 'the President
desires for the position a man of ripe
| legislative experience, and one upon
whose Judgment and discretion he can
rely. 1t is quite certain that Mator-Gen-
eral Fitzhugh Lee will not be named"
the Post adds. We doubt II the Post
speaks by the card in this matter. At
any rate, the consensus Of newspaper
| opinion is that Lees Corps will go to
Habana and will form that part of the
| American army of occupation.
The army that is going to Porto Rico
under General Wade has been dubbed
| the consolation corps" by some of the
papers. This, in view of the fact that
it is TO be made up of fifteen regiments
taken from fifteen States that are not now
represented by troops at the front. We
do not know that there is very much con-
ISOLATION in their going, but there will be
great consolation in their coming back
alive.
Gustave Book, the millionaire banker
and cigar manufacturer of Habana, has
been taken into Habana on German
warship, this, too, though our govern
ment had refused to allow him to go from
this country to Cuba. The German war
ship was entitled to enter Habana, but 1t
is clear she had no right to carry pas
sengers into a blockaded city.
The New York papers ought now to
let their readers have a rest anent the
wonderful valor of the Seventy-frst Regi-
ment of that State, since General Kent
officially reports that one battalion Of
that command "recoiled in disorder" be-
fore Santiago In the language of 1916,
they "skedaddled."
Most New York papers showed unusual
proyincialism in printing General Kent's
report. None of them gave any space
in their big headings TO his accusation,
and some of them actually cut out all
that Kent said upon that vital point
The Herald says a conservative estl-
mate OF the cost of the war for these
four months is $56.OOO,0o0. We had sup
posed that it would be much more than
that sum- We wonder If the cost of
the ships bought is included in the
amount stated?
The best authorities agree that any at
tempt to transfer yellow-fever patients
(convalescents included from Cuba to the
United States would probably be fatal
to the patients. Therefore. all such SOL
ders will be kept in Cuba until their re-
cpvery is well established.
'Although Ill and suffering. General
Wheeler was so perfectly at home under
fire that he inspired ali OF US with as
surance," says Brgadier-General Kent
In his official report of the engagements
before Santiago. Well said. and thorough
ly deserved. we have no doubt.
