Modern HerOisn

One of the most inspiring examples
of modern heroism is the request OF
Nine. Dreyfus to share her husbands
prison with him. Dreyfus, who is a
political prisoner. lives on tiny, desc
late island in the sea, i'll great iron
cage. What this life would mean for
the delicate child of luxury that Nine
Dreyfus is, may be better irragir ed
than described. The constancy of this
heroic little woman, about whose beau
ty and culture correspondents have
raved ever since her nOtoriety, forms
one of the most glorious chapters in the
annals of humanity. The reading of
her story invigorates ones faith in the
species. The French government as
yet withholds its permission, and she
will very probably not be- permitted to
make her noble sacrifice.

THE REAL ISSUE.

The excitement waiting for the report
upon the Maine calls for a statement of
the two ideas which are at the bottom
of the Cuban question in its bearings
upon the United States
First, the policy of this government
toward Cuba does not depend upon the
conclusion of the court of inquiry as to
whether the Maine was blown up or ex.
ploded-that is to say, whether the cause
of her destruction came from without
or within. The obligation to stop Span
ish barbarity in Cuba, and the opportu.
nifty to deliver Cuba from Spanish trans
atlantic domination go hand in hand
and continue, regardless of the fate of
our lost battleship.
Secondly, the future attitude of this
government toward Cuba does not de-
pend upon response of Spain to any de-
mand for reparation, which may follow
the report that the Maine was blown
up, with or without connivance in Ha-
vsna. Spain's submission to every de.
mand of ours cannot alter the situation
by the breadth of hair.
The center of the situation is Cuba
Cuba, surrounded by the sympathy and
traditions of the United States, by our
relations to the Western world and the
Western worlds relation to Europe, is
the guide for our policy toward Spain
and the cry "Hurryw which comes &c
US alike from the herOism and misery
of Cuba, is echoed by every state OF
the Union New York Sun.

Making Candidates

The Independent has had bad luck
making democratic candidates for may.
or. 1t first announced Harry Corbin as
a candidate and the next day his name
was ordered to be Withdrawn. Then
the name of Adam +. Wise was an
nounced by "Many Democrats" for
mayor and the next day he ordered his
name to be taken out of the paper as he
had not authorized it's publication. This
sort of political juggiery has the ap
pearance of an attempt to forstall the
action of the convention.-Demccr
The esteemed Democrat is lending
its columns for purpose that is not
consistent with newspaper courtesy or
dignity. The Independent is not
making candidates" If there is one
thing that the publisher of this paper
hopes to avoid it is a reputation as a
political boss" which happens to be an
requirement of a great many publishers.
The names of Mr.. Cofbln and Mr..
Wise were haI ded in to this office with
the request that their candidacy be
G iven publicity. The Independent re-
ceived them the same as it receives any
other advertisement
The Democrat is evidently crediting
the Independent with seeking politi-
cal prestige which it is trying to avoid.
