MESSAGE SUITS
THE CUBANS
Taken As Proof of Honesty of theG
Presidents Purposes.
New YORK, Dec. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana saws:

New YORK, Dec. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
President McKinleY's message has
given the greatest satisfaction to all
Cubans who look upon 1t as definite
declaration of the policy of the United
States toward Cuba. Rafael Portildo,
the president of the Cnban assembly.
said:
"The message is most satisfactory to
Cuban aspiration and will have an ex-
cellent effect here. It proves beyond
further cavil and dispute the president's
honest Intentions toward Cuba. It will
quiet many of our more violent associ-
ates, who have talked loudly about
America and have been suspicious of her
intentions and it will enable those, like
myself, who have believed and trusted
in her, to cooperate more fully with her
officials in their work. 1t is good mes
sage, and fully satisfies us.''

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the disease
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprie-
tors have 50 much faith in its curative
pGET srs, that they offer One Hundred
Do lars for any case that it fails to cure.

Musicale at Hancock Point.

On Thursday evening OF this week,
August II, musicale will be given at the
Tarratine hotel at Hancock Point for the
benefit OF the chapel fund.
The participants are for the most part
summer residents, and several OF them
took part in the delight concerts that
were given last summer at the Tarratine
Those who have volunteered to take
part in the Thursday evening concert are
Miss Mabel Monaghan, soprano, OF Ellis
worth, Miss Annie Warwick Clarke, OF
Bangor, violin, Miss Agnes E. Seavey
piano, Misses Helen and Harriet Rollins
OF Ellsworth, piano, Carroll Swan, man
doin, and Henry Drummond, guitar.
The affair is under the management OF
F. E. Hartshorn, who is indefatiga BILE in
his efforts to obtain funds enough to
build chapel at Hancock Point
The price of the tickets is 50 cents:
children 25 cents. Parties going from

are advised to communicate with the

or the other of frequenting the house
or the river; two visits may, one
| would not. 1t also by the generous
terms OF the law requires more than one
visit of man or woman to an opium den,
or OF salmon or trout to a river, to con-
vict him OF frequenting 1t.
Yet we have two millions OF salmon in
our river, and it is not "frequented" by
decision OF these same commissioners. We
have score of lakes tributary to Union
river heavily stocked with salmon con-
stantly going out to sea and unable to
get back because OF lack of fishways, yet
this does not make it nee ssary to have
tishways in the judgment of the commits
sioners. A goodly number OF salmon are
caught in the river each year below the
dams, evidently trying to get up the
stream, yet a legal definition OF "fre-
quented' requires one salmon should re-
main in this home Eve have put in two
million), that one or more should visit it
more than once, when everybody knows
that even now hundreds are coming back
so far as they can, and have been coming
back as far as they could, though in con-
stantly diminishing quantities for seven
ty-tive years.
/ repeat frankly that have no faith in
the construction Of he law as it is made
by the commissioners.
Leaving this discussion so far as / am
concerned between myself and the COM
missioners, let US come to something OF
more Importance. How are we to get
tishways? l shall surely discuss this
matter as occasion demands until it is
made certain that we can or cannot
have them.
At present there seem to be but two
outlets: a. a different Interpretation of
the law by the courts; ca il this fats, an
appeal to the Legislature for different
law.
Representing In small way our public,
as a member of a committee OF the board
OF trade chosen for the purpose, | shall
report from time to time whatever prog
ress Is made. In the meantime trust we
shall not be idle. q. A. PHILLIPS.

Business.

Failures were i'll number fewer in
July ,han il either of four preceding
years. and IN amount of liabilities
smaller than in any year excepting
the last, when July failures were the
smallest in any month on record, says
D2H,s Reg,els. Trading failures We're
both fewer and in amount smaller
than IN any previous year. Two large
failures of real estate corporations
make up nearly quarter of the ag-
gregate this year, and few others
not connected with the general con-
dition Of business make up over 40
per cent. of the manufacturing ag-
gregate. In the three full months
since the war was declared, the fail
ures IN manufacturing and trading
have amounted to only 900 more
than last year, and have been smaller
than in the same months of any other
year.
Prospects of peace stimulate many
kinds of business. In spite of records
the impression prevails that delay and
hesitation have legitimately resulted
from war, and larger contracts are in
fact coming forward for iron products
with better general demand in most
industries. The volume of payments
through all clearing houses was the
largest ever known in July, being s
per cent. larger than in 1892 for the
month, and for the past week III per
cent. larger. Most industrial works
have resumed after shorter vacation,
with fewer participating than usual.
A few labor troubles only call atten-
ton to the fact that this season has
been remarkably free from such him

Senator Burrows, of Michigan, ex-
pressed the views of large part of
the more conservative element of the
American public in regard to the
Philippines when he said: GAS to the
Philippines, do not believe that we
want the entire group of Islands, with
its several millions of semi barbarous
people. In my opinion we should re-
tain one entire island-the best in the
whole group for our purposes-abso-
lutely as our own, for naval station
and commercial base. Our ownership
OF the entire island should be abso-
h3tely complete, with no vestige of
Spanish influence anywhere upon it.
This would give us all we want for the
development and protection of our
commerce..

OUR NEUTRALITY.

Some OF the American papers com
ment severely upon those men in Con
gress, who still oppose annexation.
The New York Tribune expresses the
views of the Advertiser in this matter.
1t says:
"Of course, in giving us the use of
the Islands the Hawaiian Government
will be breaking the law of nations. II
will, under the rules adopted at the
time OF the Geneva Award, be respons-
ible to Spain for all damage to that
country resulting from our use of the
Islands. But that will not matter, for
we shall have the making OF terms of
peace, and we can easily require
Spain to relinquish all such demands
upon Hawaii.
That Is the fine moral argument.
We are to let Hawaii, for our benefit,
break an international law which
was made ut our own instance, and
then use our strength as victor in the
war to shield her from the penalty of
| her crime. We are to seek to win this
war through fragrant breach of in
ternatlonal law. And we are to re-
fuse to make peace with Spain until
she agrees to condone international
| law-breaking. We are to incorporate
in solemn treaty a proviso that a
nation shall not be called to account
| for iaw-breaking. so long as the law
breaking was done for our benefit. We
are to put ourselves on record as obey
ing the law of nations only when 1t
pays us to do so, or when we are not
strong enough to break It with i'm
punity. Truly, that Is the sort of
| Righteousness that exalteth a nation.
That is the sort of morality that COM
mends itself to those pure souls who
tink it would be a wicked thing to do
an act desired by the people Of both
nations"
The question of our neutrality will
cease. in few days. to become a
practical one. The law of the sword
settles 1t.
The question is now an historical
one only. As we have said before, 1t
Is such an interesting one. but as
a community we have regarded Is as
one of those affairs that involve intri-
cato moral and legal considerations
which should be treated from a
practical and not theoretical stand
point. At least some records should
be preserved Of this interesting phase
OF our closing national life.
