YOU HAVE EARNED YOUR

Uncle Sam says to Cuba

The news you are reading about Cuba
is mostly lies A couple OF weeks ago an
American correspondent in Havana sup
piled his paper with letter purporting
that it was written by Weyler and came
into his possession legitimately. 1t is
now positively known the letter was the
invention OF dranken newspaper writer
in Havana. The unmitigated lying in
dulged by the newspapers when anything
sensational turns up will eventually de
stroy the influence of the press. Every
newspaper that still believes in the honor
and integrity Of the press, and credits
the people with having some sense should
condemn the sensationalism OF the daily
yellow journals, Yellow novels are bad
enough, but the newspaper that prefers
sensationalism to facts is a hundred
times worse.

ADOPT THE MEASURE.

Referring again to the proposed change in the state constitution, exempting from taxation all prop ertv used in manufacturing mer- chantable commodities for per- iod of ten years, we will say that we do not know of any measure that would prove more beneficial.
 While some might think it un- just to exempt any property from taxation, we think it can be clear lv shown that the results would prove beneficial to all concerned. If by adopting any such liberal propositions we induce capital to come and invest in manufacturing enterprises, we certainly increase the population and taxable wealth outside of that proposed to be ex- empted and by so doing the reve- nues of the state are not lessened but instead would be increased.
 Our cotton, instead of being shipped to the New England states, should be made into mer- chantable goods right here where it is grown. We also have large quantities of most excellent tim Der and other natural products that should be manufactured into the hundreds of articles needed, and all that is wanted is to offer some inducements to manufactur- CTS to establish factories in this state, to have them come and thereby increase our population and taxable wealth.

WAR WITH SPAIN.

It is generally conceded that war with Spain is inevitable, and if so let 1t come. As bad as wal is and as much as we may deplorc it, yet the thoughtful man must admit that there are conditions worse than war.
 The perpetuity of any great sys- tenn of injustice or oppression whereby people are systematic ally enslaved and robbed of their industrial, political or religious liberties is worse than war, espec- ially if those rights cannot be se- cured without war.
 It IS an unfortunate condition of affairs when even our national honor is measured on cash basis and Tn our present controversy with Spaine, if it shall be proven as now appears quite certain, that the Maine was destroyed by Span ish treachery, we should, in- stead of demanding dollars, demand the freedom of Cuba and fight for that freedom if neces- sary.
 To make this demand rather than a cash indemnity would win the praise and moral support of every civilized nation, especially as it is known that the disaster to the Maine was caused by our openly expressed sympathy for Cuba. To demand money of bankrupt Spain compells us to take measures to forcibly collect 1t and this means war on a mercinary basis, to force the payment of cold cash.
 To demand the freedom of Cuba may mean war also, but this de- mand places us on high moral, liberty-loving grounds-the basis upon which our government was formed and now exists.
