An Excellent Suggestion to Voters.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The election year is
al hand and the familiar howl for a
peoples ticket, or a citizens ticket,
or any other old name you are q
mind to call it, is already heard.
The protested object is to get up a
ticket independent of the old parties,
which are u by wire pullers, SO say
the promoters of the scheme. They
wouldn't pull wires, oh, no. The
supporters of the third ticket claim
that the conventions are run after
the cut and dried Now, If
you will allow an old hay-seed, who
knows nothing of wire-pulling poll
tics, or any other kind, to make a
suggestion. L would say: Would it
not be better for the voters of Fergus
county who are opposed TO wire
pulling methods to attend the prima-
ries and see that the best citizens are
chosen to represent them at the
county convention, than to sit on the
fence after the candidates Ire chosen
and kick at the wire pullers. Make
your kick at the caucus or take your
medicine like u man. The third
ticket scheme won't help you as we
all know from experience. Send good
delegates and we will have only the
best men on the ticket.

U DUTY TO CUBA.
One Of Humanity. Regardless Of the Maine
Disaster.

Quite regardless of the responsible
tiles for the Maine incident, it Is ap-
parently true that the the great
majority of the American people are
hoping that President Mckinley will
promptly utilize the occasion to Sc
cure the complete pacitication and in
dependence of Cuba. There are "a few
people i'm the United Statcs-we
should not like to believe hat more
than one hundred could be found out
of n population of seventy-five mil
lions-who believe that the United
States ought to join hands with
Spain in forcing the Cuban insurgents
to lay down their arms and to ac-
cept Spanish sovereignty aus II perm
anent condition, under the promise
of practical home rule. 1t needs mo-
argument, of course, to convince the
American people that such a propo-
sal reaches the lowest depths Of in
fanny. 1t is much worse than the
proposition made by a few people In
Europe last year that the victorious
Turks should have h countenance
and support of the great nations of
Europe In making Greece a part of
the Turkish empire. For the Turks
had fairly conquered the Greeks; and
II Europe had kept hands off. Greece
would have been reduced very quickly
to the position of an Ottoman prov
ince. But in Cuba it il otherwise.
The insurgents with no outside help.
have held their own for more than
three years, and Spain is unable tn
conquer them. The people of the
United States do not intend to help
Spain hold Cuba. On the contrary,
they are now ready, in q way T
in another, to help the Cubans drive
Spain out of the western hemisphere.
II the occasion goes past and we al
low this Cuban struggle to run on
indefinitely, the American people will
have lost several degrees of self res
pect and will certainly not have
gained anything in the opinion q
mankind.-From The Progress o

Of course it cannot be foretold
what Madrid will do in the stress of
circumstances within the next two
days. Those best able to Judge do
not expect any further move from
Madrid, as they say Spain has
reached the limit of her concession.
The Spanish minister has naturally
been a center In heexciting incidents
OF today. He is fully conscious of
the gravity of the situation, and
while still expressing hopes for peace.
speaks to his friends of the eventual
which may come. To one of
them he said today that he could
not believe that two nations made
up of calm, sensible people would
rush into the untold horrors of war.
He added that it would be a wicked
and cruel crime for this result to be
precipitated.
