gents, who sacrificed their wives, their
children and their homes? Do We wish

door open for that3 Do we wish to relieve
some American investors who have bought
Spanish bonds and who wish to trade them
for the bonds Of the republic? Do we worse
still. wish to leave the door open to COM

locks OF our own land?
MAY be forgiven II express the hope
that the heart of the executive may be
touched in their behalf7 May we not hope
that their last lingering look of life be
not with suspicion and hatred upon our
flag; that 1t may not rest upon the detested
color of the yellow flag Of Spain, but that in
their rapt and parting moments they may
be soothed and sustained by the sight Of
their own fiag-the flag with o single star
the flag Of the republic Of Cuba?"
Loyal Opposition
Mr.. Butler of North Carolina followed
Mr.. Mason He said that he belonged to
what was popularity termed the opposi-
ton on the floor of the senate, but he
maintained that the opposition had thus
far upheld the hands Of the administration
as loyalty as had the best friends Of the
president and were ready to do so as
long as they could preserve their self
respect. Mr.. Butler expressed the hope
that the foreign relations committee might
be able to bring a resolution that the
senate might adopt as unanimously as 1t
voted for the $50, 900 900 emergency appro-
priation. In the present circumstances we
would be justified in driving every Spanish
vessel from the seas and in laying waste
every city and town of Spain. This, be-
cause of the destruction of the Maine
one of the foulest crimes in history. He
maintained that the United States hao
even more exalted reasons for the estab-
lshment Of Cuban independence-the rea-
sons of humanity and liberty
"I am for avenging the Maine, however" /"
declared Mr.. Butler, land would be If
Cuba did not enter into the matter. l
would secure atonement from Spain for the
destruction of the Maine and so many of
her gallant crew, not by conquest. not by
indemnity-for we cannot make merchan-
disc out Of the bones of our dead. But
let US say to Spain that We will establish
Cuban republic as a monument to our
dead Of the Maine. If Spain will not ac-
cede to this, let us make good the PROPOSE
ton with our army and navy"
What Is Wantedp
Mr.. Butler regretted that the president
did not tell congress what he meant-just
what he wanted. He disagreed with the
president concerning the recognition of the
Cuban republic, maintaining that to stop
the war on the island without granting
independence to the Cuban republic SIM
ply meant the crushing out Of the Cuban
patriots.
why did Gen. Lee hurry to Washing
ton?" inquired Mr.. Butler. I'VE are in
formed that he would have to get out Of
Havana before the presidents message was
read. Yet here comes a message that
causes the spaniards to build bonfires and
rejoice, and starts the stock tickers to
clicking merrily, and causes smiles to
spread over the countenances of Wall
street gamblers.

Message

spokesman OF the present administration
in the house, late this afternoon. in reply
to an attack upon the policy Of the admin
istration, interpreted the recommendation
in the presidents message to mean re-
quest for authority to use the army and
navy of the United States to establish on
the island of Cuba government independ-
ent of Spain. 1t was regarded as an ex-
ceedingly important and significant an
nouncement. In the brief debate today the
opening guns Of the contest that begins to-
morrow were fired. Broadsides were ex-
changed, and then the house adjourned.

The legislature should adopt a
law lengthening the term Of Office
TO four years and making incum-
hcnts ineligible to reelection. This
- one of the great reforms which
are demanded by the people, and
one of the best. We hope to see
the change. 1t would give the in
cumbent some chance to play even
with the heelers and make living
for his family. 1t would lessen the
number of elections and thus save
much time and money to the peo-
pic. 1t would settle the question
OF rotating the offices. 1t would
have tendency to make the voter
more careful IN the selection of
aen TO serve him for four years.
II would give independence to the
o'iice-holder, and he would not al.
ways be "bound TO feather his
nest" and accommodate his friends.
There are many reasons why such
a law is necessity, and no doubt
it will receive the attention of the
legislature, as it should.

A Good Recommendation,

A Fort Smith exchange c,lls at
tcntIon to the fact that ex-Gov.
Fishback in his last message to the
legislature recommended the enact
ment ofa.law providing for the re-
moval of sberiffs who should per-
nit prisoner TO be taken by q
mob and executed. The Arkansas
Democrat says: We hasten TO give
the ex-governor credit for his re-
commentator, and, what is more,
we reproduce the extract for the
benefit of the Legislature:
1.-THE fault lies with the officers
of the law, and the situation calls
loudly for remedial legislation.
"To take human life, even by
the regular course of law, is de-
moralizing. for when tho state
takes a life which none but the
Creator can give, the lesson it
teaches is that human life is
not as sacred as we might
otherwise suppose and as civ
ilized people should regard it..
But for irresponsible mobs to
take the life of their fellow-men
and go unwhipped of justice, is de.
moralizing even to debauchery.
and is to let loose upon the CON-
munity a blind, unreasoning force
which is dangerous TO every best
interest of society. Any remedy
must begin with the sheriff. The
essential and controlling element
of mob is cowardice, which, shell
tering itself under the protection
of crowd and the excitement OF
the hour, gives vent to its murder
Gus proclivities, (for it is none the
less murd erous and none the less
cowardly because public excite
ment lends 1T temporary sanction.
off it were known that the sher.
if had every incentive, as we'll OF
interest as Of duty, to defend his
prisoner to tho last extremity
eowardice would quail before the
danger and we would have no mob
murders. Accordingly l recon.
mend that it be made the impera.
tive duty of the governor TO sum.
marily remove from Office any sher-
if who allows prisoner in his Gus.
tody to be taken by mob"
