Whether this theory is right or
wrong. the reader will determine. The
sentiment is quoted to illustrate the
problem which confronts this govern

realize the great differences in races,
and the fact that arguments will con-

class. And this is true where the races

CUBA'S GOVERNMENT.
Its Form Win, of Course, Be Die
tated by This Country.
Grave Problems Which Must BE
solved in the Near Future by
President Mckinley and
the Congress,
Especial Washington Letterl

Now that this republic has passed |
through an epoch OF war our greatest
statesmen are studying the new prob
lens before our people, for we are en-
tering an epoch of peace for which we
seem to be unprepared,
To one of his cabinet ministers Pres
ident Mckinley bias said: I'VE were
wholly unprepared for war, and we are
as wholly unpreparcd for peace. The
conditions which confront us are of
the most grave portent."
The meaning of this solemn view of
the situation is that the giant republic
of the western hemisphere is obliged,
by the course of events, to take its
place among the foremost nations of
the world; and our statesmen must
grapple with the duty of governing
people outside Of our Original bor-
ders, and entirely unlike our own peo-
Pile by birth, traditions and aspirations.
Five of our ablest statesmen are now
in the territory of Hawaii, 2,l00 miles
from San Francisco, and they are
charged with the duty of investigating
the conditions there, the capabilities
of the people for self-government, the
| educational condition and facilities of
the people; and those statesmen will
make report with recommendation
for the formation of a government
suitable to our new territorial posses
sion.
Another commission will be appoint
ed to make similar examination and
investigation concerning the best gov
ernment to be giYen to the long-mis-
governed people of Puerto Rico. The
kind of government which may be suit
able to Hawaii may be entirely insult
able for the people of Puerto Rico.
Wisdom, prudence, sagacity, Christian
charity and patriotic purpose must be
the controlling impulses of the men
| upon whom these responsibilities pri-
marily devolve. Ultimately these prob
lens must be solved by the president
and by the congress. The recommend
ntions of our commissioners, however,
will have great influence in directing
the channels in which the thoughts of
other statesmen must flow.
Very recently in this city popular
preacher unintentionally and unwit-
tingly made many enemies for himself
by declaring himself to be earnestly
opposed to sending money to foreign
missions. Tie said: God gave to the
Jews religion which was suited tc
their peculiar mental caliber. He
gave a different form of religion to the
Arabians, Persians, Hindoos and Chi
nese. These religions are suitable to
those classes of intellect. 1t will he
many centuries before the religion o
Christ enyeIops the world; because il
takes many centuries for the develop

full one. The posse Of only six Iuen
rode up to the gate unsuspiciously and
had no sooner got upon the inelosure
of the lawn, than they were received
with a murderous volley from the
house and another from the wood. In
a moment the lawn was strewn with
their bodies.
Hendricks knew very well that all
this meant war and he faced it with a
vigorous military energy. He con-
verted the house into a fortress and
barracks and began moving all that
was valuable into the cave.
As the affair was reported to the
governor of Tennessee, it looked like
an organization of robbers who had
taken possession of the Laran house
for their headquarters. He therefore
appointed a new sheriff and placed the
Memphis Tigers eighty mem and the
Crockett Fuselicrs of Paducah (sixty
four men) under his orders with in
structions to proceed at once to Upton
county and arrest the gang. Adit.
Gen. Lnscomb met part of the troops
and the sheriff of Marshall and pro-
ceeded overland with them to Laran.
The sanitarium stood upon rounded
knoll of about ten acres, corresponding
to another and larger knoll which Hen
bricks had by measurement fixed upon
as the crown or roof of his rotunda.
The ground sloped gradually to the
road two hundred feet away, which
road marked the valley between this
hill and another slight but extended
excavation that began on the other
side and stretched away eastward into
the wilderness.
To the west there was a clearing and

CHAPTER XVIII
InJune of that year there appearedin in
several of the Indiana papers the fol-
lowing advertisements:
MILITARY ExcrRsIoN.

q
Uniformed military companies In Indiana,
wishing to Join the excursion battalion 10 make
a summer visit 20 New York Ia July, Will please
report to Lieut. Bldwcll at indianapolis Tn
usual inducements arc offered 70 organized com
panies to Join this pleasure party The battal-
ion win be the guest Of New York for two
days"
This vague announcement of a pro-
iected excursion did not fail TO attract
some attention in New York. Several
of the papers referred to it in para
graphs, which briefly stated that the
militia of Indiana intended to visit the
city during the summer.
On the 9th Of July the superinten-
dent of police in New York received a
formal letter from indianapolis saying
that if the arrangements could be COM
pletad a regiment of Indiana militia
would visit the city on or about tho
l2th. and asked for the usual right to
parade and a police guard to clear the
streets. At the time Of the receipt of
the letter every man Of the regiment
was I'm New York. Tho men of the
force were so widely aud carefully dis
tributed that a military organization

hind His Tickets

Where an election is not close little
interest is taken in the official returns:
but this year owing to the fight made
on the head of the Republican ticket,
the official returns have been anxiously
looked for to settle the question as to
how much Gov. Scofeld ran behind the
other candidates on his ticket. The
official count has been completed and
the fact is acertained.
Governor Scofeld's total vote was
1871 and that Of the democratic can
didate for Governor, Judge SAWYER.
1856 335-leaving Scofelds plurality 81
8O2.
The total vote for the other candi-
dates on the Republican ticket was as
follows.
Jesse Stone, Lieutenant Governor
1900
W. H. Froelich Secretary of State
$50, 43S
j. o. Davidson, State Treasurer
$50, 792
E. r. Hicks, Attorney General
/ 18O073.
l.. d. Harvey, State Superintendent
$50. $3.50.
G. L. Rice, Railroad Commissioner
1870, 106
Emil Giljohan Insurance Commits
sioner-180, 119.
Thus it will be seen that Governor
Scofeld fell behind that of the candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, 6,906
Governor Scofeld's vote fell behind
the average vote cast for the state Off
GERS excluding that cast for Governor,
7,l21
Governor Scofield's vote fell behind
the average vote for state officers in
Guiding the vote cast for Governor,
6.23l
A reference to the complete returns
shows that about one-third of the cut
on the head of the Republican ticket
came from Dane county and Milwaukee
county.
