The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1898-12-22

The county court, as at present
constituted, is holding its last term
this week. Presiding Judge J. z.
Graves and associates, Jno. M. Cole
man and VIM. L. Kemper, are all
fair,minded, conscientious gentle
men, and have conducted the affairs
of the county throughout their term
with strict fidelity. They have used
economy in their expenditures, but
not parsimony. They have kept
bridges in good repair and built a
large number of new ones. They
have iudiciously expended money
for the improvements of the high
ways and kept all expenditures
down to the lowest possible point.
These gentlemen can retire from
office with the consciousness of a
public duty well performed

Heintz was trapped into his arrest

had written a letter offering a por

prosecution. The arrest occurred
in the lobby of the hotel in the
presence of q crowd of guests
When Heintz realized he had been
duped he diplayed revolver, but
was quickly diaarmed by two de

some irreverent persons as the "board
Of lethargy," which is composed Of
naval officers, has nothing to do with
conducting the war, but is merely
charged with the duty of advising Sec.

persons as an attempt TO make dis

lowed the board should speedily be

that every important order issued by
Secretary Long has been upon the ad-

most natural thing in the world that
both Mr. Mckinley end Secretary
Long. neither OF whom has had any
experience in naval fighting, should
seek the assistance Of naval officers in
conducting that branch OF the war.
The unnatural thing is that such a

IS ruLs rRnrnrcl-a

The New York World Of Tuesday
gives what pur, orts 10 be verbatim
personal statement made by Senator
Gallery to one Of its Washington cor
respondents:
"The island OF Cuba is as certain TO
become part Of the union as that the
war is going on. However much we
may declare on paper that our object
is not conquest, the facts and necessi-
ties OF the case will force Cuba into
the union. Before IL becomes a state
it will have TO undergo long tutcl-
| age.
my opinion Of old Gomez is that he
is nothing short Of an advcnturer and
he will sell out any cause. l think he
/ is chronic revolutionist, and is in
these revolutions for all they win pay.
| II the insurgents were as numerous
and effective and Gomez were the
! great commander the jngoes claim
him 10 be, the United states would
have been saved the trouble OF freeing
the island from the Spaniards, espec-
tally when we pour arms into them
just as they want them
III 10 is true, as has been stated,
that the Spanish army occupies only
the ground which they sit upon, and
/ that the Insurgents occupy the re-
mainder OF the island, as has also been
! alleged, they should have starved the
! Spanish soldiers into submission, es.
pecially when the United States fleet
| is blockadinR all Cuban ports.
Tho native Cubans who live on
ranches on the outskirts Of the town,
| do not believe capable OF perform
/ ing the functions OF government.
They are ignorant and not imbued by
contact or heridity with ideas OF free
government.
! 81 would say that the educated Gu
bans would be outvoted by the ignor-
ant population. The ignorant class
would create state Of affairs where a
| stable and established form OF gov
| ernment would be out Of the question.
] believe that the aim OF the educated
! Cuhans, and the patriotic Cubans who
are not interesteS i'm the Junta and
the Junta issue OF bonds, are in favor
OF annexation to the United States. /
am told that the resident Spaniards of
| the island, about 300, 200 in number,
Infinitely prefer annexation to an in.
dependent form OF government"
Commenting on Csfferys statement
the Post Of Washington thinks this
proposition possesses the merit Of
probability. II il be not exactly SEN
ator Catfery's language, il is at least
in perfect tune with what he is gener-
ally understood to have thought and
said on more than few occasions
heretofore. Mr.. Gallery has had a
large aud somewhat stormy expert
ence In the matter of setting up a
'sound and stable" government with
such material as constitutes a major
ity OF the Cuban population.
That there is in the ISL
and considerable native eIe-
ment Of cultured, reGuod and
most excellent people, no one doubts.
We have met representatives OF that
class at college, in society, and in
travel. But that they are numerous
and strong enough 10 put their stamp

Those who, for one or another rea-
son, are desiTous Of dragging the war
on indefinitely have again been trying
TO persuade Mr.. Mckinley to postpone
the invasion OF Cuba until fall. They
have got new argument now that il
will take four months 10 make as much
ammunition as they think the army
ought TO have before being sent to
Cuba. They also ring the changes on
the old argument that military opera
lions on large scale cannot be car
ried en- during the rainy season, which
usually begins about the 10th Of June
aud continues for six or eight weeks

the active campaigns Of the insurgents

ment about ammunition be true, which
there Is reason 20 doubt, there is some
thing radically wrong about the war
department. II is supposed from the
hurrying OF volunteers TO the south
that the invasion OF Cuba will be
pushed at once, but plans have been
changed so often that it is difficult to
say what will be done.
