Some Political History,

Poor old Jno. P. st. John, once
prohibition Candidate for president,
has become a "hiss and by-word",
even among his political associates.
He recently signed a petition to
have whiskey sold in his town and
an audience of his fellow prohibi
tionists howeled him down when
he tried to explain his reasons.
This instance calls to mind the part
st. John played in beating James
q. Blaine for the presidency, when
Blaine was the republican nominee
against Cleveland. 1t was openly
charged that st John received $780,
600 from the democratic committee
to canvass New York State in the
interests of his (St. John's) can
didacy, he being the nominee of the
prohibition party. This he did pay
ing especial attention to republican
strongholds, and in this way took
enough republican votes from
Blaine to give Cleveland aplurality
of |, 100 votes. 1t is a settled fact
that Blaine, the greatest American
OF his day, would have been presi.
dent If it had not been for st. John.
What a calamity this arch-hypo.
crit of the propibition faith
brought upon this country is now 8
matter of history and few will be
the tears shed now that he stands
unmasked.

The Cleveland Herald, whose ed.
itor is senator in the present Ten
nesee legislature, makes the follow.
ing statement
"The republicans of East Tenne.
see should know that the law tax.
ing the election out of the hands oil
the people and placing it in the
hands of an INSCRIPTIONS lot of cor
rupt politicians, passed the house
by only one vote. Two of the repub'
lican members were drunk and ali
sent. Had they been there it would
have failed to pass. 1t is time the
republicans were sending none bu
sober men to the legislature; mer
who can always be found in theil
seats when important legislation |,
being considered"
The Journal has no idea as to VIII
the two republican members of tn,
house were who "were drunk ant
absent" But such a statemen
must be humiliating to all the re
publlcans in the state and it shout,
be warning not to elect such mel
to the observation-disclosures.

Gen. Fltzhugh Lee,

The United States has grand
man in the person of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, COnsul-General, ut Havana.
He was appointed by Cleveland and
Mckinley was broad minded e.
nough to keep him in the place and
the wisdom Of so doing is apparent
to all. During all the years of war
and tumult on the Island of Cuba,
Gen. Lee has stood out prominent
as a man of GOODNESS and undaun-
ted courage. He has not only the
confidence of the U. s. Government
officials, bat he has the confidence
of the whole people. 1t is seldom
that an administration keeps one
of opposite political faith in such an
important position and it is a high
compliment to Gen. Lee to be thus
retained, but no higher than he de.
serves.
The following is from Washing
ton: Washington, Feb. 18.-Gen-
eral Fitzhugh Lee, the American
consul general at Havanah, is the
right man in the right place just
now. His friends in Washington
have no fear of his making any mis-.
takes. They go back even to his
days at West Point and remember
what cavalier and what a cool
headed fellow he was even then
General Lee was one of the most
remarkable military leaders i'm the
South. He is brave without buster
has immense patience, but is at the
same time, keenly alive to the dig
nifty of his country and the impOr
lance of the peculiarly responsible
position he is now occupying. Sale
a friend of the consul general: "Let
possessed remarkable courage il
battle. He never got ratified under
the most trying conditions. HI
never betrayed anxiety, but once
at Saylor's Creek, and although
have seen him urder fire often,
never saw him dodge"

Cuban Patriots Active.

The Cuban patriots are fighting
with more energy and more success
than they have ever since the com.
mencement Of the war on that Is
land. They are now better equipped
with arms, ammunition and NUM-.
tions of war than they have ever
been and victory after victory has
perched upon their standard, and
all that the Spaniards can do is tc
sit around and snarl.

Hawaii.
