resolution. has tacitly assisted, much to
the disappointment of those who had
listened to the patriotic fervor Of several
of the members who had delivered i'm
passioned speeches on the C,ban situa-
tiofl during the past week.
II Is announced that the President has
said something to Spain which looks to
the ultimate INDEPENDENCE Hof Cuba, and
that Spain has engiven until tom orrow
morning to answer. If the answers not
in Washington then there will be more
representations to Spain by the Presi-
dent, and Congress shall know all about
it on Monday next, Wien the whole
business and its attendant responsible.

No ultimatum has been addressed to
Spain. Only a "suggestion," couched in
the most diplomatic language, and in

freedom to Cuba at some future date or
on certain easy conditions, with con-
dition precedent that the Spanish army

restless and are ready to break loose. !
have secured one last respite, and |
would respectfully suggest that Spain
make virtue of necessity; the best of
bad matter; save the two countries from
u bloody war, the outcome of which may
or may not be doubtful, and take the
initiative in movement for peaceful
solution of the whole matter.

the fruit. The buds are SO far advanced
that frost would almost ruin the crop.

The ReioI m Platform.

The result of our prize contest
for reform platforms and plans to
have them carried into effect is soon
told. Not one platform was sub
mitted, though there were several
prepared, but when it came down to
tell how the requirements of these
platforms were to be carried out,
they were filst. Here is where our
difficulty was met and it gave rise
to our offer of a handsome prize to
the person who would help us out
of our dilemma. No one came to
our rescue. We could write all the
platforms needed, but we could not
be sure that a member of the Lcgis-
lature when once elected would
heed them. 1t now resolves itself
to this that instead of relying on
platforms we must seek the man
who will carry out the proper
principles. 1t is not tor a republi-
can newspaper to rise up and say
who that man is but it is the sphere
of republican paper to say that
every voter should be sure that his
candidate is pledged not to vote for
fictitious bills of expense, to vote
against Bill Andrews 100000 fake
investigation bill and to refuse to
accept any money except that ex-
pressly stated in the constitution.
Demand this of every candidate. You
are entitled to it. No one has aris-
en- to help usout with new plan,
therefore, the people must guard
themselves against repetition of
the past.
