The deliverance of the Rhode Island
Republican convention on the Cuban
question is of much interest and import
ance as the first word that has come
from representative political body
since it reached the acute stage. It is as
follows:
We sympathize with the unfortunate
and distressed people of the island Of Gu
ba in their efforts to obtain larger
measure Of liberty and security in their
government. Feryently do we hope that
wise counsels may prevail, and that tho
privstions and sufferipgs of that gallant
people may not longer be reproacn TO
our common humanity. Sincerely DO we
desire to remain at peace with ali the
nations of the earth, but If the vlnuica-

as words can, the policy of the national
administration. 1t will not be satisfac-

The Spanish government will doubtless
Weld much for the sake of avoiding war
with the United States, which it knows
well enough would in the end be disas-

yielded much. 1t has offered the
Cuban rebels large measure of control
of their local affairs, and it has done it
largely at our suggestion. 1t has re-
leased all American citizens Imprisoned

shown leniency to many Of Its own rebel

State Hay said to a representative of
the Associated Press that the president
had received some advices from Paris
that he desired to lay before the cab
met and that he had called the members
together to consider them The nature
of the advices Mr.. Hay declined to dis

PLANS FOR HAWAII.
Territory to Be Governed Much as
New Mexico Is.

Chicago. Nov Pa Tribune special
from Washington, D. G, says:
Senator Cullom is preparing the re-
port of the Hawaiian commission and
will submit it to the president for
transmission to congress, so that It VIII
be ready at the opening of the session
The senator declines to give details as
to the character of the report. From 9TH
er sources, it was learned that the re-
port as finally drafted will provide for
a partial continuance of the present
government in the islands under direct
federal supervision. There will be
senate of Is members and house of
double that number which is an in
crease on the present house member
There will be graded qualification on
the suffrage. Members of the house
may be elected by voters who pass an
educational test alone, While members
of the senate will be chosen by voters
possessing both educational and pro-
perty qualifications. There IS now a
property qualification for voting in Ha-
wall, but the proposed form OF govern
ment will reduce this somewhat so as
to furnish an inducement for small
holdings. There will be educational
and property restrictions in regard to
holding office the qualifications for
which will be closely defined. There
will be no 'open door" in Hawaii. The
tariff laws of the, United States Will
be extended to the islands without al
terra ton because Hawaii was formally
annexed to the United States, by
statute law and any other course would
unouestionably be opposed by the Su-
preme court. The present supreme
court of the islands whose members
hold their places for life, is to be con-
tinued and to be given jurisdiction of
local laws, whose force will also be con-
tinued as far as possible, as they have
been taken from the statute books OF
different states in the Union and are as
a whole quite acceptable.
The immigration, labor and general
election laws of the United States will
be specifically extended to the islands.
These will keep out further inrOads of
coolies The islands will be given
delegate in the house of representa-
tives, who will have no vote but will
have the same privileges as the repre-
sentatives of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma. The governor and some of
the higher territorial officers will be
appointed by the president The legis-
Iature will have considerable control
over local taxation and expenditures
but the restriction of the suffrage on
educational and property lines will of
course, reduce the number of voters to
a point relatively far below the present
organized territories.

When unsolicited testimonials are
constantly received from men of such
prominence as the distinguished citizen
whose portrait is here printed-when
among the thousands of letters received
by the proprietors of Paine's celery
compound there are to be found in al
most every mail some from men and
women of national reputation, it is cas-
lily understood why this remedy which
makes people well has proven its re-
markable efficacy among all classes of
people.
No other remedy has the hearty ap-
prevail of a like body of educated men
and women and professional men, nor
has there ever been a remedy that was
welcomed in so many intelligent, pru-
dent homes, where pains is taken to
get only the best in so vital a matter.
In such families all over the country
Paine's celery compound is the first and
only remedy used.
Prof. Phelps has studied the nerves
in health and disease, when well nour-
ished and when under-nourished, in
men and women and children years be-
fore he looked for the remedy. Paine's
celery compound is the outcome of his
entire professional life. 1t is the one
remedy that the world could not lose
today at any price.
Paine's celery compound induces the
body to take on solid flesh.
