Have we forgotten what we went to
war for? To end the sufferings of the
Cuban reconcentradoes. How have
we done il? They were starving. In
stead of carrying them food, we have
bIockaded the island and kept out all
that we could. Our effort has been to
starve the Spaniards out in the full
knowledge that before one single
Spanish soldier felt the pangs of hun
ger. every helpless Cuban non-com-
blatant would be dead. In this way
we shall have FASTENED the very thing
we went to war to prevent. As we
view it. the blockade OF Cuba is, IN
der all the circumstances, a merciless
measure that makes us joint murder
ers with Spain of the reconcentradoes.
If the effort had been to prevent the
shipping of arms and munitions of war
to the Spaniards in Cuba, it would
have been justifiable and just as effect
i've in the end. for we cannot hope to
starve a whole island into submission.
What wonder that the Cuban people
resent the step and in some cases even
side with Spain9 What wonder that
other nations view rs askance and
suspect that it Is really war OF con-

England's grand old man, William
+. Gladstone, died last week Wednes-
day. His life was one of the most
eyentfnl in the worlds history. He
was born in 1909, carefully educated at
Eton and Oxford and entered politics
early. His first election to Commons
came as early as 1928. He took "A lead
ing station at once and was marked for
the high talents he displayed. From
1882 to 1895, a period of 63 years, he
was constantly in public life. He was
four times premier of Great Britain-a
record that viii stand for long time
unparalleled. Mr.. Gladstone was a
deep thinker, an eloquent speaker and
tireless worker. He exercised a
most powerful influence on Great Brit
ain and indeed on the whole world.
He may be justly described MS the
greatest man of his time.

The Vergennes Vermonter is among
the several papers that have already
expressed their preference for Victor

the good points of its argument is the
following:
.'As state where more than one

seem to be the part of political saga
city to have one representative of this
large body on the republican State
ticket, especially when it can furnish a
man in every way qualified for the

fear that the Records scheme of an ex-

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, says: AS a
result of the consultation between the
President, and Secretaries Hay and
Long, fresh instructions regarding the
Philippines have been wired to the
American Commission at Paris.
1t was ascertained that the program
the commission is following requires
the disposition on the part of tine United
States of all matters affecting the Phil
ippines before any other questions are
considered The President has been
informed that GeneraliMerritts view is
in favor of the retention of all the
islands. Fresh instructions do not af-
feet the demand for the island of
Luzon and reversionary rights over the
remainder of the group. They relate
more to the matter of detail and are in-
tended to equip the American commits
sioners in case they should raise the
point in reply to the formal demand
presented by Mr.. Day. This reply is
expected Friday. An adjournment of
the commission for such short time is
regarded by Day and the Administra-
tion as indicating that the commissions
work will soon be completed.
1t is recognized that the Philippines
will be the bone of contention. Once
they are out of the way it will be plain
sailing in the matter of arranging for
the session of Guam, Cuba, Porto Rice
and the remaining Spanish West Indies
to the United States. Day is empow-
cred, however, to interrupt the commits
sion's work at any time in case he
should find Spain either unwilling to
agree to the demands of this govern
ment or disposed TO unnecessarily de-
lay the commissions work, and a DEM
onstration will follow which the au-
thorities are satisfied will bring the
Madrid government to its senses. Senor
Felipe Agoncillo representative of the
Insurgents commanded by Aguinaldo
will be permitted to lay before the
commission any facts that he may de-
sire to present, and the American COM
