CUBA SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED

"Some of the state officials and de-
partment clerks at Olympia have tele-
graphed Senator Turner and Repre-
sentatives Jones and Lewis as follows:
"'Our people urge the recognition OF
the Cuban Republic. No recognition
no intervention. Stand by the
Democratic resolutions against bond
holders intervention
= "If that telegram contains the senti-
ment Of "our people" in the main, we
very respectfully request the privilege
of drafting a minority report. After
4OO,OO men, women and children
have been herded together in the cit
les of Cuba with 10000 have persisted
from disease and starvation, and after
the murder of 266 American seamen
by Spanish authority, we are con-
strained to believe that intervention
of any kind, that will drive Spain from
the West Indies, is preferable to in
action enforced by a slight difference
of opinion between political parties"
--Ritzville Times.
We congratulate those state officers,
department clerks. etc., for their
timely, truthful and sensible telegram
to states representatives in Congress.
We don't care continental VIII ether
it is democratic or republican re solu-
tions; it is American and it's short
and easy to remember and expresses
the sentiment of the people of this
state exactly. That is to say that
nine-tenths of the people, regardless
of party, are in favor of Cuban indie
pendence, and believe that recogni-
ton by this government is the proper
thing and that anything less than that
is farce.
Bro. Dorman certainly has the priv
elege OF drafting a minority report if
he wants to, and he may rest assured
that it will be minority report in
the strictest sense of the term.
After 100000 men women and chill
dren have been herded together in the
cities of Cuba, and 10000 have per-
ished from disease and starvation and
still they are unsubdued and insist on
the right to fight for their freedom,
and declare that they will never sub
init to Spanish rule for Cuba as long
as Cuban patriot lives. After they
have demonstrated to the satisfaction
of every nation on earth that it is ut
terly impossible for Spain unaided to
ever bring the island into submission
and keep them so. Then for this
nation with 266 fresh murdered sailors
and their finest battleship laying in
Spanish mud, as evidence of the hell
ish treachery that Spanish perfdy is
capable of to say, by this intervention
scheme conceived in hell and born in
the stock exchange of New York, to
those suffering, starving, bleeding yet
pnconquered Cuban patriots, we deny
you the right to longer battle for your
rights, for your homes, for your free
dom-which is dearer to you than life
itself--we command you to lay down
your arms which Spain has failed to
compel you to do; we do not recognise
your independence, hence we must

Saoasta's Success in the Spanish Elections.

The outcome of elections in European
countries. and in Spain of all countries
has not for generations been a matter
of much importance to the American
people. But unusual interest has at
tached to the recent Spanish election
and though Castilan politics are very
even more of a mystery than American
politics. the success of the presen:
Spanish ministry is gratifying 10
America. The election of deputies TO
the Cortez resulted in a landslide fer
the Liberal party, thus giving emphatic
approval to the Sagasta ministry. To
be sure, we are told that Spanish cleo
ton methods are peculiar, and that
this one was all cut and dried, but
whatever the means employed, it is
pleasing to know that Weyler was
turned down and that a man who has
some brains and common sense, man
who desires peace and not war, con
tinues at the head of the government.
the Cortez resulted in the triumph of
the Weyler element, our government
would scarcely have had the slightest
doubt as to the proper and immediate
course to pursue. But the triumphant
return of Sagasta to power makes il
probable that President Mckinley Will
have further recourse to the arts of
diplomacy, and endeavor with new
vigor to settle the Cuban question
through peaceful means
The elections gave Sagasta his de
sired majority, but they are not by any
means revelation of the will of the
Spanish people With regard to Cuba
They. however, do have one effect that
have bearing on our relations with
Spain. They give Sagasta unques
toned constitutional control of tn"
machinery of government in Spain,
which he has heretofore directed only
by a sort Of acting appointment. He
viii now have free hand unhampered
by Carlist or Conservative intrigues.
Sagasta is unquestionahly better dis
posed towards a peaceable settlement
with this country than any Conserva
tive would dare to be. The question is,
however, can he count on popular for
bearance should he meet this country
halfway in an effort to adjust all diff
ferences peaceably? a few days must
answer that question.
