Todd for senator. From the re-
turns it looked as though Todd

ator Whitney was in the field for re-
nomination, but 1t was not plain
where he hal votes enough, even if
the two smaller counties supported
him. Each county has a member OF
the legislative committee, and the
commit tee met d few days ago. In
fixing the apportionment the com
mittee gave a delegate to each 200
Republican votes, and then five dele
GA tes to each county Eat large.
This gave Todd five lat large" and
Wadena and Hubbard together ten

total of 81 delegates, divided az
follows: Todd, Is: Wadena, 8;

SPAlN'S CULPABILlTY FOR
CUBAN STARVATION.

To give a mere exact idea Of tn
fearful mortality amongst the PEG
pie in the fortified towns, l ma
quote the statistics for the city o
Santa Clara, with population o
IA, 600 inhabitants. For the 81!
years from 1890 to 1895 the tota
number of deaths was 4072, or a
the rate of 67S annually; in 1897
when the concentration order wa
in force, the total number O.
deaths was 6,9S1. Santa c ara il
a fair example of what has hap
pcned in other towns which have
been made centers for the country
people. Amongst the 100000 des'
titute persons still left alive out of
the 100000 originally driven III
from the country the rate Of NOR
tality is quite as great now as it
was last year when the concentra.
ton order was in full force.
In the face of this national ca.
]amity, the government has taken
no steps to provide relief. Any.
thing that has, been done to allevi.
ate the distress has been the effort
of private charity, or IS the result
of the appeal made by Secretary
Sherman to the people of the
United States to give aid to the
starving thousands III Cuba. BIT
private charity, together with the
assistance sent from the United
States in consequence of Mr.. Sher-
mans appeal, is quite inadequate
to cope with the present situation.
The government is perfectly aware
of the true state of affairs, and ye'
makes no pretence of helping.
The excuse that is given for this
attitude is the want Of funds to
carry out relief work; but a gov.
crnment of any country is never
blind to the fact that when a
famine occurs its first duty is to
endeayor to mitigate the evil at
any cost.
TIE plea of lack of funds does
not absolve the government from
the responsibility confronting the
question of help for the destitute
population Of Cuba. A govern
ment that can spend 100000, 900
a year for the maintenance of
armed forces in this island is
hardly in position to plead pow
crty as an excuse not to organ re
relief for the hundreds Of thous.
and of people dying of want in
consequence of the direct acts of
that government, and whose only
fault is that they happen to be
Spanish subjects. The government
III Madrid and the colonial govern
ment in Havana are equally culpa-
bic in this matter, and deserving
of the most severe censure for
their conduct.
There is also another question
involved IN this unfortunate state
of affairs. 1t is this: Private
charity will soon be exhausted in
Cuba as Il means of providing aid
to these poor people, and the sole
channel of relief will be the fund
raised in the United States in re-.
Spouse to the appeal made by Sec.
rotary Sherman. It is hardly
possible to expect sufficient resour.
