Maine G0ssilDl
The Conquering Heroine.

Let those who will court summer girls
In far-Of lonesome places.
And chortle sonnets to their curls,
Their figures and their faces:
But love, l hold, when suns burn down,
Is stupid, languid, lazy;
Give me the Girl Returned to Town
The Autumn Girls the daisy!
How CLOVIS the health upon her cheeks!
How bright her eyes are shining!
What vibrant music when she speaks
Sets every heart to pining.
How vigorous her step and light:
How graceful all her poses!
A daisy? Well. that's hardly right
Queen rose of autumn roses!
She wears gay gowns of newest style,
And all is fresh about her:
Though gone what seemed dreadful
while,
1t paid to do without her!
Revived, refreshed by summer rest,
Her love takes new indentures,
And thus renewed, she's full of zest
For any new adventures! tst
Then welcome to the Autumn Girl
It's happiness to view her:
1t sets our heads and hearts a-whirl
To greet her and to WOO her.
She's dearer far than mine of wealth.
At least we're bound to think it
And having such a store of health,
How long 1t takes; to drink it!

National Guard reorganization is
now engaging the attention of many of
the states, and Maine will soon have
to consider this matter. One thing
must certainly be done. The National
Guard in all sections of the country
must be better equipped and put on a
more substantial basis than ever be-
fore. This is a lesson from the wal
with Spain which all the states must
learn.

Count Esterhazy's argument that a
soldier should put his conscience, as
well as his sword, at the command of
his superior officers, does not help his
cause much, considering the evidently
small value placed on the former sac

more sensation than common sense.

to come to this country when the best

Delay In Evacuasinq Cuba.


The Spanish commission is evidently
in no hurry to evacuate Cuba, and Is
supported by the government at Mad
rid in its Irritating conduct. The
Spaniards assume that they are to take
their own time in leaving the island:
that they are to remain in control I'M
til ready TO quit, to interfere with COM
merce. and even with relief expedi-
tions, and that, in the meantime, the
Americans are to stand idly by, wait
ing for the last man to go aboard one
of the transports before taking up the
work of restoring order and prosperity
to the island. There is only one way
to mend this matter, and that is for
the American commission to make a
perfectly fair allowance of time for
evacuation; require the Spaniards to
give up authority in the ports as soon
as American troops have been landed
to garrison them, and requiring that
after such occupation of the ports, in
Guiding Havana, the Spanish troops
shall be sent to camps of detention to
await transportation. This ultimatum
having been sent to Spain, in strict ac-
cordance with the spirit of the proto-
col providing for evacuation, the
American Peace Commissioners at
Paris should be notified not to begin
business until Spain has accepted, and
shown disposition to obey the terms
of the protocol. If some such course
is not followed there will be intermin-
able delay, and Cuba will suffer as
before the war from Spanish misrule,
while the Americans are justly held re-
spOnsible for it.
DR.. CongostO, who arrived in New
York last week, says: There are no
reconcentrados now" and intimates
that they are all dead; but the insur-
gent soldiers, who are faithfully OBJ
serving the peace terms, are suffering
for want of food, and it is the moral
duty of the American government TO
afford them relief and give them an
opportunity to become self-supporting.
This can be done only by removing
Spanish rule from Cuba as quickly as
possible. There may and probably will
be considerable delay in transporting
the troops, but there need be no delay
in surrendering authority over the is
land after American troops have been
landed. The movement of troops to Gu
ba is expected to begin about Oct 20,
and as fast as they are landed they
should relieve the Spanish garrisons,
the latter retiring to detention camps,
as did the troops of General Toral at
Santiago. The process is simple
enough, but it will not be carried out
with the consent of General Blanco
unless THE American commissioners
take a firm attitude and are backed
UP by the authorities at Washington to
the extent of breaking off peace nego-
tlat1OnS until the terms of the prOtO-
col have been observed in spirit as we'll
as in letter. Not a vestige of Spanish
authority should remain in Cuba after
the LIST of December, though a month
or more after that date may be re-
quired for the removal of all the Span
ish troops from the island.

The refusal of President Sans gov
weather signal station at Mole ST.
Nicolas has been recalled, and our re-
quest for that accommodation will be
granted. It seems that the Port au
Prince authorities at first imagined
that somehow such a station would
give us a dangerous foothold on the
island, or perhaps rather that
the enemies of the present
Haytian government would make
political capital out of such a
concession. But an Office for observing
and telegraphing the temperature and
the winds would not really menace the
autonomy of the republic. Hayti made
a mistake when she refused to sell us
a site for naval and coaling station
at Mole st. Nicolas. It would have
been a splendid thing for the place and
it's surroundings, and certainly we had
no design of annexing the Black Re-
public. But Hayti was suspicious, and
the administration then in power did
not dare risk the unpopularity of
granting our request. Now we shall
have coalng stations in our own terri
tory-in the West Indies, and Hayti and
San Domingo will find that their time
