Deal With Cuba Only.

The war with Spain was declared on ac-
count of affairs in Cuba. In the resolutions
of Congress nothing was said about Porto
Rico or the Philippine Islands. What was
offensive to the United States was Spanish
cruelty in Cuba, and to stop that and give
peace and stable government TO that island
was the sole purpose avOwed.
That being the fact, is it not a breach of
faith with the governments of the world to
strike at the Philippines and Porto Rico?
And are not the United States treadng on
dangerous ground in crossing the Pacific to
attack and capture the Philippines
This is what most people believe, and as
the prospect for prolonged war is becoming
more apparent, with the great cost in human
lives, in millions of money and consequent
grinding taxation which will fall mostly upon
the middle class, financially speaking, this
sentiment is being emphatically expressed.
The people, generally, want the war CON
fined strictly to freeing Cuba from Spanish
rule, and done as speedily as possible. They
are opposed to expeditions against Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and are opposed to the
policy of reaching out for new possessions.

MARYLAND'S PRIDE.
The Fifth Regiment the Best at
Chicamauga.

The Fifth Regiment Maryland Voluntee rs
are in camp at Chickamauga, with a number
of regiments from all parts of the country, and
are regarded the best drilled and equipped
regiment in the camp. The Fifth has been
assigned to the first brigade, first division of
the third army corps, commanded by Gen.
James H. Wade. The First Missouri and the
Fourteenth New York regiments are the other
two regiments of the first brigade.
"FINEsT REGIMENT IN CAMP
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes:
Marylanders have good reason to feel proud
of the high opinion of the Fifth held by the
military authorities here. Lieut.. Col. A. L.
Kline, of the Fighting Fourteenth" New York,
paid high tribute TO the ''dandies'' today.
In speaking of them he said 81 feel proud
to be in the same brigade with the Fifth. In
my opinion it is the finest regiment in camp.
That this is no empty hattery is evident to
any who goes among the military commands
more Sun talked to General Brookes adiu-
tant, COL NJ. V. Sheridan, the latter ex-
pressed surprise that all the Fifth were uni
formed, and that they marched nine miles
into camp in heavy marching order. Many
of the regiments recently arriving have only
about one-fourth of their men with regulation
uniforms, and most of them are recent re-
cruits. AS compared with the others the
Fifths men look like regulars, and their dis
cipline and snap have caused hattering com
ments by civilians and soldiers.

From the IndinnapoIis News.

We are not part of the European system,
and are not responsible for our action to any
other nation or combination of nations.
Yet, now it is seriously argued that it would
be good thing for this government to tangle
itself up in the Eastern question, to acquire
an interest i'll the quarrel between the nations
of Europe over the partition Of China, and
thus to abandon not our iSolaton-for we
never have been, and are not now, isolated
but our independence, and the sense of secu-
rity that flows therefrom. And all this is to
be done deliberately, and as matter of free
choice, that the United States may pose as Il
world power.
We would not be understood as denying
that there is such thing as destiny in the
life of nations, as of men. 1t may be that it
is our destiny to assume and carry burdens
from which we have hitherto been happily
exempt. 1t may be our high and difficult
mission to join with Great Britain in civiizing
the waste places of the earth But we should
be very sure of our "call." In such case
as this, it is much wiser to wait until we are
drafted rather than rashly to volunteer.
We ought to realize very keenly that the new
policy so iauntily preached by our imperial
lists will, if adopted, involve us in the gravest
responsibilities.

Reliable(P) War News.

The press publish from six to ten columns
of war news daily, nearly all of which is mere
speculation or guess work For instance
Wednesdays dispatches said that the invasion
of Cuba would begin this week and also said
the contract for trousers the troops are to
wear would be let that day. The delivery Of
the trousers is not to begin until five days
after contract is awarded, and the contractor
will have ten days thereafter to deliver them.
Wednesday dispatches said that Cervera 5
fleet was ''bottled mp at Santiago; that it
was on the north coast of Cuba and that
battle was imminent; that the Spanish fleet
had sailed for home; and that the Spanish
and American fleets were far apart. The
same days dispatches said that Spain would
abandon Cuba and look after the Philippines;
also that vigorous defense of Cuba would
be made

After Thlrty-Seyen Years.

On April 10, 1861, the Sixth Massachusetts
regiment, on its way to Washington, was at
tackled in Baltimore by the Southern sympa-
thizers, who at that time comprised nearly
the whole population. Last Saturday little
more than thirty-seven years later the Sixth
Massachusetts, passed through Baltimore to
oppose foreign foe and was given a royal
reception. They were presented with flowers
instead of having stones hurled at them, and
they were escorted through the city by the
city officials and q number of well known
citizens and officers of the state militia. All
1t is hoped that the dawn of peace will find a
genuinely united country and permanent good
fellowship among all the people.

American Soldiers on Canadian Soil

The thirty ninth Separate Company of the
New York National Guard, of Watertown.
went to Kingston, Ontario, on Monday, and
took part in the parade on Tuesday in honor
of Queen Victoria 18th birthday. The COM
pany was presented with British flag, and
carried it along with the Stars and Stripes.
In the parade the New York company was
given the post of honor
This determination of British and American
soldiers is very pleasing incident. Several
months ago, in Japan, British and American
soldiers were attacked by sail ors of other
nations and fought together side by side.

feeling between English speaking nations, we

Early Saturday morning three unknown
men attacked Track Superintendent Richard
Curboy, aged 60 years, of the West Virginia
Central railroad. near Rawling, Allegany
county, while he was in bed, demanding his
money. He received a check on Friday,
which was pay day on the railroad. He lives
alone, keeping bachelors hail. and was
sound asleep when the robbers entered and
demanded his money He assured them he
had no cash, but they insisted, and to COM
pei him to shell out they bound his hands
and feet and then saturated his night clothes
with coal oil and threated to burn him alive
if he did not disgorge. He finally satisfied
them by showing his uncashed railroad check:
They took whatever plumber they could find
and went away, leaving the victim still bound
hand and foot. After the thieves departed
Mr.. Curboy worked bis way to the woodpile
and cut the ropes binding him by rubbing
them againt the edge of an axe.

The Philadelphia Ledger, Of Monday last:
quotes from Washington,s Farewell Address,
and remarks
The advice of the great patriot Is as sa!u-
tary today as it was when he gave 1t. He
foresaw the attempts that would be made,
from within and without, to broaden the
sphere of American influence so as to newt
ably embroil the United States in the disputes
and contentious of Europe. He realized that
commercial, not political supremacy. was the
ideal to be sought by our country, and he
coniured his fellow citizens to be on guard
against The insidious wiles of foreign nations.
That land is not naturally the happieSt and
most prosperous that fights the most battles
and conquers the most provinces. The 6 lory
of war is nurtured only by the blood of vic
tins and the tears of widows and orphans.
For us should be the paths OF peace aud the
policy of intervention in what does not
concern or affect us. Our war with Spain
was forced upon us, and having taken up the
sword, we must WELD it until victory rewards
our efforts. But let not our present enter
prise be the entering wedge of policy of
militarism, colonial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and in
ternational entanglements held in such dis
favor by Washington and the Fathers,

Mary Helen Clark who departed this life one year

Still we miss thee, Helen;
And it's hard to say,
Father let thy will be done;
Thou hast only drawn thine own

Glad the summons to obey,
We may join our child above,
In that realm of perfect love.

FATAL SHOOTING IN wICOMICO
COUNTY.
The Negro Twice Lynched.

A shooting affray which resulted fatally oc-
Twiggs' Store, Wicomico county, Md.
Il negro named Garfield King. The shot
where near the spine. Physicians were una
BILE to locate it.
The story of the shooting as told by those
who saw it: Young Kenny, it is said, was in
the store, when a negro came i'll and brushed
against him in an insolent manner. The two
had some words, but Kenny did nothing, as
there were several negroes there and they are
known as n rather dangerous gang. A
moment later another negro who was outside
the door called Kenny vile name and told
him to come outside and he would show him
what they would do for him. He went to the
door, and as soon as he was on the steps King
shot him. The negro's story, as told to the
reporter, is that when Kenny came outside he
struck him twice and he was compelled to
shoot him in self-defence
Sheriff Dashield arrested King and took him
to Jail.
THE NEGRO LYNCHED.
About a. m. on Thursday demand was
made upon the Sheriff for King by large
number of men, but he refused to give him
up. They soon found telegraph pole, and
using that as ram, the doors quickly gave
way. King was taken to tree and hung up,
but the rope broke and he fell to the ground.
Again he was hung up and riddled with bull.
lets. The lynchers were not disguised. They
were from the neighborhood of the shooting
and were friends of the young man.
