A LADIES' DAY.
Let the Ladies' Have a Chance to BE
Present in Court.

Savannah, jan, 81. - Editor Morn
ing News: Ever since the court
martial has been in session the la
dies have been very DESTROYS to view it,
at least once. but have been deferred by
the crowd of men, who, day after day,
fill every inch of available space. Isn't
it about time that the ladies have a
chance? Will you not use your influence
to secure the setting aside of one or two
days in the week for ladies and ladies
with their escorts?
We feel sure that if the matter is
brought to the attention of the court they
will see the justice of extending this cour-
tesy to the ladies. We also feel sure that
in event of their setting aside ladies
day" they will be greeted with such an
audience as will make the old court room
itself wear a smile. y. X. y.

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.

TIE Dt0 MI ] SONVEN ION.
Parson Mckinney of Bridgton Nominated
for Representative to Congress.
Between the adjournment of the county
convention and the opsning of the dis
trict convention there was Indication of a.
storm brewing. Some Of the distin-
guished brethren were getting their heads
together and expressing their views as to
the conventions duty in tine construction
of a platform.
They came to the conclusion that it
would not be wise TO give the delegates
IN the afternoon body the least oppor-
tunlty for q scrap over the silver question,
for heavy orators On botn sides would be
there and il once ptecipitated there would
be no end to debate. 1t was agreed that
the gold and silver factions should be
equally represented on the resolutions
committee, and that an effort should be
made to get up some sort of financial
plank that would be acceptable to both
sides.
This agreement made the leaders
breathe easier and they seemed in good
humor when they came into the hall
few minutes before 2 o'clock, and gave
the signal for the wheels to be started.

CONVICT ANCESTRY.

To many inquiries of lawyers and
public men for some explanation of
the s,tringenCy of the libel laws | had
but one answer offered me. 1t is not
pleasant to refer everything back to the
days Of convict transportation, but this
is one more matter that seems to fall
there by force of gravity. 1t was said
to mo repeatedly that the severe libel
laws were maintained for the protec-
ton of the families descended from
transported convICts. Ancestry cannot
embarrass a man now, be he a candi-
date for office ur i'm any way before the
public view. To this extent the opera
tiuns Of the law are worthy of praise.
Men must stand On their own credit.
without possible defeat because their
grandparents were sent to sydney for
some oftense against English law at a
time when it was as serious to snare a
rabbit i'm my lords preserves, as it was
to commit forgery. | asked if any
newspaper i'm opposing the candidacy
of an aspir1nt for Office ever mentioned
against him the fact that he came of
a transported family. The answer was
that this never occurred. The libel
laws are too severe: papers would have
no such disposition anyway, end if any
| paper did such a thing it would be re-
| buked bv seeing people who would have
| been against the candidate otherwise
support him because of that attack
There are sensational newspapers here,
as elsewhere, and they have just about
| the same standing here as elsewhere.
| Thy are in frequent libel suits. and I
presume charge the costs TO advertising
as in other countries.

Cuba was discovered by Columbus on
his first voyage, in 1892.
The first organized attempt made by
the Spaniards to colonize Cuba was in
1911 by Diego Velasquez, who brought
over a small force from Santo Domin-
go. the large island to the east of
Cuba. Velasquez was typical Span
ish conqueror, and resorted at once to
typical Spanish methods. The gentle
and simple natives were frightened
when they saw the Spaniards on horse
back, and fed before them, Velasquez
pursued them and tramped them be-
meath his horses hoofs.
In the course of the first fifty years
after Velasquez settled Cuba the ma
tive population of $4,000 beings was
swept away and eXterminated.
Spain has occupied Cuba for 3S7
years, except that its capital, Havana
was captured by the English in 1862
The British ships engaged in that con-
quest were chiefly manned by Amerl-
can colonists, who enlisted in the col
onies of the Atlantic seaboard, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
New York, New Jersey, Delaware and
Virginia.

merce of the island, with a view tC

forced the inhabitants to draw from
Spain most of their supplies of all
kinds by imposing prohibtory duties
on the products of other nations.
One insurrection has followed anoth-
er since the first organized outbreak
against the Spanish power in 1926, In
each war the Spaniards have practiced
the most fiendish cruelties on the Gu
bans, but never until the present war
has there been an organized and de-
liberate attempt made to eXterminate
the women and chiIuren as well as the
male residents of the island. This re-
manned as the crowning infamy of
Butcher" Weyler's life.
The governor general of Cuba is en-
dowed by law with despotic power.
He is even authorized to disregard the
laws of Spain, which are applicable to
Cuba, at his pleasure. In fact. his
will is the only law of the Cubans, and
all the judges, police officials, civil Of
ticers and military are his creatures
The volunteer military force. of
which detachment is located in ev-
cry town and city of the island, and
which is known as the civil guard"
has always been one of the most cor
rupt and dangerous military bodies
known on earth. 1t is composed of the
dependents and hangers-on of the Of
ficial class, and the ultra loyal party
in Cuba. Such has always been the
power of this party and it's "civil
guard" that no administration of Spain
has ever been able to adopt any meas
ure affecting the government of the is
land without it's consent
The area of Cuba is estimated al
1888 square miles, including the ada
cent 1sid de Pinos, the smaller islands
and keys. The population in 1890 was
