for coroner on the Democratic ticket,
states that he will not accept the noml-
nation. When seen by Free Press re-
porter today, he said that he had not
yet been officially notified of his
nomination, but that when he was
notified he would let the committee
know that he was not up for the office
of coroner. He has not been a candi-
date for tie office, does not want 1T,
and has not time to attend to 1t.
Thus the Democratic ticket Is fall
ing to pieces. Mr.. Mahowald is
the third nominee on the ticket
to announce that he will not
accept .the nomination. The other
two are the nominees for county
Superintendent and court commits
sioner. 1t is no wonder that so few
have any desire to maks losing
fight. and the tendency to flee from
sinking ship is again exemplitied.
This time the ship is Democracy.
There is a we'll defined rumor that
Deighton Little will become an in
dependent candidate for sheriff. Mr..
Little could not be seen today, but 1T
is said that he is thinking seriously
of the move and will probably in due
time take the necessary steps. In
doing so, Mr.. Little will have the
support of large percentage of the
Democracy, who do not believe in
the methods by which Mr. Little was
figured out of the nomination.
VIM. Jones got out petition this
afternoon as an independent candi
date for sheriff. 1t will be necessary
for him, under the law, to secure 500
names on his petition in order to have
his name 20 on the official ballot. Mr..
Jones states that he has been Re-
publican and will make hustle for
the office His name was not pre-
sented at the recent Republican
county convention.
The Republican county committee

HE CONTEST IN CUBA.

The following open letter to John
Sherman, published in the New York
Sun, states pertinently the natural
feeling of Americans on the Cuban
question, though the REGISTER does not
think that there will be any necessity for
us to do more in the matter than to
recognize the belligerent rights of the
Cubans. Given an equal opportunity
with the Spaniards for reinforcements
and supplies, it is almost certain that
they wonld soon control the island. 1t
is very evident that President Mckinley
is preparing for at least such recognition.
Hon. Secretary John Sherman.
MY DEAR SIR: OF course we all want to sus-
tain and stand by our president in these try.
ing and very critical times. But when we
daily read of the inhumanities perpetrated
upon helpless people at our very doors !;
when read of hundreds and thousands of
starving women, children, and old people
forced into the towns and away from their
legitimate sources of food and raiment;
when we have the best of reasons for attrib-
uting perfioy and treachery to the destruc-
ton of our magnificent Maine and the death
of $50 of her American seamen, we are apt to
grow impatient at what may seem to some to
be halting and hesitatmg policy at Wash
ington.
Under no possible and conceivable condi.
tions can Cuba again be restored to Spanish
rule.
Then why not begin at once the policy that
will settle the issue? OF course Spain will
kick. So be it. But if I were done when It
is done, then t were well It were done
quickly
What shall be done?
Shall we put paltry price in mere sordid
dollars upon the devoted heads of $50 Ameri-
can sailors blown to atoms in the harbor OF
Havana by Spanish savageism? Or shall we
now say to Spain, "By the eternal" your in.
human reign shall no longer be recognized
upon the richest island in the world, whose
helpless population have borne your horrible
and unparalleled outrages for more than fifty
years, n population furnishing an annual
trade OF 500, 900 900, every dollar of which be-
longs by nature and geography to the United
States of America, and which they, the
islanders, desire TO give to us.
You and 1 have each been to Cuba, and
know that her sympathies ana desires are all
with
Then why not begin now to end the preg-
nant issue?
1t must be met, and the sooner done the less
will be the cost.
We muse make the Monroe doctrine our
practical political, as we already do the Ten
Commandments our religious, creed.
We should have had our warships in her
harbors more than two years ago, and have
begun during the Cleveland administration.
Let not McKinley's administration want
until the country discredits 1t.
"War is hell" said your matchless brother
but If 1t has to come, the sooner the better.
"The way to resume is to resume" Your
friend, WILLIAM r. MOORE.

THE Duty OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Something has been said in certain
quarters to the effect that there should
be an early adjournment of congress, so
that President Mckinley should be left
alone to manage Cuban affairs. This is
one of the expiring efforts of the impe-
cunlous brigade whose only idea OF gov
eminent is to replete their pocketbooks.
Americans expect at this time, and have
a right to expect, that every representa-
tive of their national government will do
his duty, and that duty is, and must be,
to be in his seat at Washington until the
crisis is past, ready to strengthen Mr..
Mckinley in any way that may be
needed.
Since the above was written the fol
lowing dispatch is received from Wash
ington, dated March 16: The postoflice
appropriation bill, which was technically
the subject of the house, was almost lost
track of in the debate today. Several
topics were discussed, but the Cuban
Spanish question, which has been kept
in the background heretofore, forged to
the front. Mr.. Cochran, democrat, OF
Missouri brought the question up, and
in the course of the debate that followed
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio took occasion tC
deny emphatically the stories af1oat tc
the effect that the president desired ar
early adjournment of congress in order
that he might make settlement without
congressional interference.

monument to the memory of those who
persisted by the destruction of the bat
tie ship Maine in Havana harbor has
taken hold of the American heart.
Contributions are coming in freely,
and in this city $50 boxes have
been put up in prominent places and
are being rapidly filled. In every city

started and an effort made to swell the
fund to the largest possible proportions.
In Washington it has taken the shape

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
THE MAINE DISASTER is STILL THE
CHIEF TOPIC.

The President is Not Neglecting His Duty
to Prepare for Any Emergency-Uncer
taInty as to the Temper of Congress is
Causing neutrality-suspicious. Notes.
Especial Correspondence
Washington.-Of course, the Maine
disaster is still the chief topic both in
Administration and Congressional cir
cles. Despite the fact that the air has
been full of sensational and contradlc-
tory rumors, the administration has
not swerved from its determination to
await patiently the report of the court
of inquiry before it acted. While he
has been calm and dignified in all his
course, the President has not neglect
ed his duty to prepare for any emer-
gency. There has been activity in the
departments but this has been justified
by the seriousness of the situation, and
the fact that oftentimes an ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure.
The President realizes that present
conditions cannot be tolerated much
longer, and fully appreciates his re-
sponsibilities; but he does not yet see
his duty. He hopes that after the
board of inquiry has made its report
some way of peaceable intervention
may be offered. A great many of his
visitors urge him to dc something His
invariable reply is: What do you sug-
gest?"

The question of the policy to be pur-
sued toward Cuba after the settlement
of the Maine question is one that is
causing the administration the great
est anxiety. The uncertainty as to the
exact findings of the court is heighten-
ed by the uncertainty as to the temper
of Congress as to subsequent events.
There is undoubtedly feeling of un-
rest among the Republicans, and a
movement of no small Importance has
been started by Western members to
protest against the iron rule of Speak
er Reed in regard to the Cuban ques-
ton itself. A paper was circulated
which received many signatures,
among them those of prominent rep
resentatives, demanding that the Gu
ban question be settled before any at
tempt was made to adjourn Congress
for the session. This mutiny is caus.
ing Speaker Reed a great deal Of anx.
iety.

A Washington court has officially
recognized that the sale of newspapers
upon the streets is legitimate bust
ness and a public necessity, and that
persons who are engaged in it are en-
titled to the protection of the police.
1t is held that newsboys may enter
street cars for the purpose of serving
papers to passengers, and that the
conductors have no right to eject
them so long as they conduct them
selves properly and leave the car
as soon as their business is fin
ished. 1t has cost one of the
Washington street-railway companies
$4,000 to learn this new principle in
civil rights. One of the conductors of
that road took the trouble to kick a
newsboy off his car. 1t was shown
that the boy was not trying to steal a
ride, but was pursuing his vocation in
a peaceable and proper manner. His
leg was run over by a car coming from
the opposite direction and had to be
amputated. The jury gave him $1,000
damages.

Five months ago a sculptor began
work on clay model of the President.
from which to make a bronze bust.
The sculptor could have completed the
work two months ago had the Presi-
dent been able to give him as many as
two more sittings of thirty minutes
each. But the time has not been at the
disposal of the President since the war
scare and the model remains unfin-
ished
II one may judge from the letters
and messages coming to Washington
from all over the country, it is certain
that the people are quieting down, and
the excitement which was caused by
the first news of the explosion is Civ
ing place to a calmer feeling. Mes
sages are coming to Washington to
show that the people are indorsing
the Presidents policy, and commend
