But that is not the main point in the de-
parturc of this flotilla. 1t is the first
time that such vessels have been sent
across an ocean. They are useless for
lighting against the CuEans. for the Gu
bans have no navy. Their only mission
on this side OF the Atlantic is to sink
our battleships and cruisers and they can
not have been sent across the water for
any other purpose. This action is as dis
tinctly hostile, therefore, as ir We had
sent a flying squadron to he depoyed off
the coast of Spain for days and weeks
before hostiities should come, ready to
pounce upon that nations commerce at

We should send war supplies TO the

and if Spain gets in the way of either
kind of Cuban relief our guns should
open fire and never let up until the
way is cleared. Then if any deClara-
ton of war shall follow it can come
from Spain and upon Spain will rest its
onus
To be sure, a declaration Of war could
be made ana justified on the basis of
the destruction of the Maine. which
was in itself an act of war by Spain,
not yet apologized for or in any man
ncr disaVowed. But Il better view Of
this casus belli would be to consider it
not in the spirit of direct vengeance
but TO regard It, as it really is, an Incl
dent in the general catalogue of Spain's
infamies in Cuba, which calls to our
government in the name of humanity
to close that bloody chapter with an
entry establishing Cuban freedom. If
in our effort to establish this freedom
we are compelled to use force, the con-
sequence Will be upon our opponents.
They will have incurred it deliberately,
with eyes open, and if crushed by it
will be entitled to no sympathy what

their own volition. We need not in ad-
vance goad them to it.
In other words. passion at Washing

only one among many items. Cuba has
suffered from like perfidy for years
Half a million graves in Cuba attest

1t was strange thing that the

that of the Canon City firm. And
on such a comparatively simple

Mud singing at James A. Nc
Candless because he is in favor of
the Peoples ticket will not ALLEVIATE
the vote Of any sensible man or
woman who would vote for the
candidates on that ticket if Mr.
McCandless were opposed to it.
The same tactics were brought in
to play last year by the same
organ that is being used to vent
the refined and elegant literary
style Of the Union campaign COM
mittee this year. The Taxpayers
ticket was assailed last year be-
cause it was understood to be sup
ported by A. r. Gumaer, j. A.
McCandless and the United Oil
company. The Peoples ticket
this year is understood to be APP
proved by the two last named this
year, but for some mysterious rea-
son Mr.. Gumaer is understood to
be lending his support to the
Union ticket. 1t would be just as
logical to assail the Union ticket
on the ground that the latter gen
tleman is behind it, as the Tax
payers ticket last year was attack
ed on that account and by that
same organ, as to abuse thePeople's
ticket for the reason that it has the
appoval of two out of the three
largest taxpay ers who were of one
mind last year as to Mr.. Robinson's
fitness for office. But logic and
argument have no place in the
political warfare waged by those
who want to retain their petty
places and draw salaries from the
town for duty very obviously per-
formed.
