about conveying his thoughts to

but that they have a fixed and deter
mined purpose that the result of the
warfare shall be, literally, either
victory or death.
But If this view of the subject was
out OF the way and the Gubans were
prepared to enter into negotiations
if it appeared to be to their interest
to do so-the lack of confidence in
the sincerity of the Spaniards and
the fear that they would not live up
to their agreement after the con-
tract had been made. would be
serious impedfments to the consum-
nation of any negotiations which
had for their end anything short of
absolute independence for the
Cubans
There is similarity between the
cases of Cuba and Spain, and the
people of the United States and the
Republican party, in that the element
of confidence, so material to har-
mony, is wofully lacking. This, too,
in the latter case, when the word
confidence" was a large part of the
stock in trade of the Republican
party during the last campaign. All
of us remember how the g. o. p.
stumpers rolled out the word in
pathetic tones; how they told us that
the effort to attribute hard times to
currency and tariff, etc., was simply
bitter fruit of the imagination
that confidence with a big c was all
that was needed to set the prospect
ty wheels going with a whoop; and
how they dwelt upon the statement
that the election of Mckinley would
sweep the clouds from the CONNER
cial and Industrial skies and calm
the turbulent waters of the political
and social seas. We would not have
to wait for McKinley's Inauguration,
but the bare fact of his election
would be a panacea for the blues and
would paint everything terrestrial
with roseate hue-according to the
prophetic glance of the Republican
solons.
1t is more fresh in the memory of
the people that all this gush was for
getting In purposes and that the
career of the Mckinley Hanna gang
is strewn with broken promises, and
they will find it an up hill business to
fool the people again with the conf
dence game.
Cuba wants independence from
tyrannical Spain and the people of
the United States want independence
from the demagoguery of the Repub-
ican party and we predict that both
will get what they want.

PRESS CENSORSHIP.

A newspaper that is afraid to
stand up for what it conceives to be
the right, afraid to express it's honest
convictions upon questions affecting
the interests of the people-lest it
should displease a few to whom it
has permitted itself to be placed
under obligations, or lest it should
lose few dollars-such q paper is
terribly handicapped and sooner or
later must lose prestige with people
who like to see papers, as we'll as in
diviouals, have convictions and the
courage to stand by them, both in
season and out of season.
The circumvented papers are in
somewhat the same condition as
foreign papers that are under gov
ernment censorship. The people do
not know whether the editor ex-
presses his own views or the views of
some boss. AS case In point, we
notice that General Pando met the
editors of the Havana press recently
and issued instructions prohibiting
them to write, directly or indirectly,
or in an ironical vein, in disparage,
ment of the efforts being made to
secure peace or in attack upon
autonomy. The censor also pro-
hibited the writing of "anything
disagreeable to friendly nations"
and says that any newspapers fail
ing to comply with these instructions
will be suppressed. Under such cir
cumstances, what weight can sensible
people attach to any expression of a
Havana paper upon public ques-
tioEs?
Similarly situated are the papers
under the censorship of cliques, or
rings. or factions, or that permit
pecuniary considerations to domi-
nate their policy to the extent OF
antagonizing what is right and to
the best interest of the people.
Bulwarks of safety are the papers
and the men that cannot be swayed
from the line of duty and that stand,
under all circumstances and against
the strongest attacks, in defence of
truth, and honesty and justice
The value of such advocates is the
more keenly realized in these times
of trusts and oppression of the great
body of the people-when the Han
mas and the Russell's are in the
saddle and would crush all who
would antagonize their autocratic
sway-when red handed and black
hearted avarice wears a crown and
would bring to it's subsection and
serfdom the honest toll of the land.

A MANS UNLUCKY DAY.

Probably the most wonderful story OF
a mans unlucky day that has ever been
told appears in the Lancet, which intro
t1uces it as curious instance of coinci
ience A patient, at the age OF 10 years,
fractured his right index finger It hap
pened on August 26 When IS years old
he fractured his left leg below the knee
through falling from horseback, also on
August 20. When IA years of age he frac-
tured both bones on the left forearm BIZ
stumbling, his arm striking the edge of d
brick august 26). In another year, on
August 20. when Is years old, he had
compound fracture of the left leg above
the ankle by his foot being caught under
an iron rod and his body falling forward
Next year, again on the same date, Au-
gust 26, he hal compound fracture Of
both legs, the right being SO severely
crushed that it had to be amputated al
the lower third of the thigh. This was
caused by horse hitohed to a tram oil
coal which running wild underground,
caught him in narrow passage, crush
ing both legs severely. After this he did
not work on August 26 for twenty
wears. and little wonder, but in the wear
1890 he forgot his fateful day and went to
work. with the result that he sustained a
oompouud fracture of the left leg. After
this ia has studiously avoided workine

AN eARlA MORNING BLAZE.
Department Called Out at Two O'Clock
This Morning to Box "a.

The fourteenth fire alarm for the month
of December was rung in at two o'clock
this morning from box "a at the corner
of Fore and Waterville streets. James T..
Craig who had just returned home saw
the blaze which was in the rear of a long
two story trick tenement block IN the
rear of Newbury street known as the
"Bight.'' This house is occupied by
many families, but the western end in
which the fire occurred, is vacant. Craig
pulled the box as soon as he could get to
it and the department made very last
RIM to the scene. The blaze seemed to
haye originated in the cellar of the .unoc-
cupied tenement and had worked it's way
up into the upper stories. 1t was asnasty
fire to fight, but was quickly suhdued.
The corner of the building was pretty

was filled with smoke. The families IN
the other tenements moved their house.

the snow and were greatly alarmed BY che
fire. Chief Eldridge and his men made
quick work of it, however, and their
prompt action undoubtedly prevented a
bad fire. The building is owned by Isaac
Abrams and is insured. The entire loss
will not amount to mora than $500.

the world over.
Gen. Miles said he did not speak from
a personal standpoint as he was ready to
be retired any time. But he believed in
the principle of q rank and authority
commensurate with the responsibility.
General Miles said, in reply to ques
ton, that he Thought it would be better
for the President TO have the war minister
more particularly direct the vasu adminfs-
trative details OF the war dept. as it was
manifestly impossible for any man to
come from civil life and at once become
war; If the one occupying the chief
military position was not liked, then let
some one elss he placad in military au.
tholity. but the SELECTION should not be
from SO far down on the list as to amount
to favoritism. for that would not be APP
proved by the people. General Niles
pointed out that the three Major Generals,
Merritt, Brooke and himself, hal come
through the recent War without hone of
re- osnition. He cared nothing for him
self Eut he urged that the services of
General Merritt and General Brooke had
been such that the rank OF Lieutenant
General for them as would be given under
his bill, would be eminently fitting. In
this connection he referred to the crgel
working of the syst m by which Meade,
Hancock and Thomas had never received
the rank and recognition due them for
eminent services, two OF them going
broken hearted to their graves. General
Schofeld strongly endorsed what General
Miles had said on giving the amplest
recognition ami rank to generals for their
services.

arrangement has been made for the trans

Gen. Greeley Says There Were No
Doctors In the Ranks.

| Washington, December 12.-Gen. A. w.
Greeley, chief of the signal service testi-
fed before the war investigation commits
sion today that his plans had been well
laid and that when appropriations became
available there was no delay in launch
ing the work.
"Were you hindered or delayed at any
time in the administration Of your de-
partment by anyone in authority"
He replied, "Well of course in time of
war when large supplies are needed in
many cases it is necessary to convince the
secretary of war that certain things are
necessary to be done. There was at first
some delay and before the war I was
cautioned to be oircumspect in purchases
aud expenses This never did any real
harm and when the urgency arose I was
given what needed and was we'll sup
ported by the department =
When asked If he had any suggestions
to offer the commission. Gen. Greeley
said:
II believe there should be some officer
in the American army whose duty it IS TO
see that the American soldier is FED. |
believe the problem of feeding, clothing
and paying the army is a business one
and any three competent business men
could get together and devise system
as much in advance Of our present one as
that is III advance of lou years ago."
Referring to the health OF his tnen Gen.
Greeley said:
Il may mention that out of 1900 men
in the corps | only had five snceumb to
disease. There we've two killed and two
officers had their horses shot under
them. =
.sDid you have any doctors in your
corps?"
mo SIR quite positively.
There was a general laugh at this.
Gen. Charles +. Egan. commissary gen
eral. testified that upon assuming charge
of his department he found an album

various points in the field.
Gen. Egan believed the army would
