WHEELING, APRIL -, 1890.
Thirty-four Years Ago.


Thirty-four years ago yesterday. the
18th OF April, 1866, Abraham Lincoln
was assassinated. To-day Is the cor
rect anniversary Of his death. The
blow came Just six days after the sur
render Of Lee and three days after he
delivered his last public address. 1t
was before an immense crowd assem-
bied at the white house on the nth Of
April, to congratulate the President on
the victories OF the Union.
It is related by Blaine in his Twenty
Years in Congress. in speaking of this
occasion. and incidentally OF Lincoln's
religious character. that before he de-
livered the last words he ever uttered
in public, the President. standing, as he
unconsciously was. in the very shadow
Of death, said reverently to his hearers:

sions, He from whom all blessings flow
must first be remembered"

The peculiar cuban Dance.

Leslie's Weekly: The Cuban dance

American eyes. for 1t is so totally DIFF

Is only the one step. and that step Is
a sort of mixture OF Indian. Turkish
and Chinese. The couple rarely use
more than four square feet OF space and
dance continually, with little short in
termlssions of possibly fifteen seconds.
during which they merely stand In their
places and rest. Two orchestras play
continuously. one taking up the music
as the other ceases. The music is al
most identlca! with some that l have
heard at the dances OF our Indian tribes
in Arizona and New Mexico. except
that there is one continual blare of a
cornet. They use tom-toms. kettle
drums and some wierd gourd-like affair
that they beat vigorously. emitting a
sound quite as musical as a boy would
make with barrel stave as he ran
along picket fence.

The Alleged Colonial POLICY.

Antl-administration organs are out
lining the Administrations policy with
reference to Cuba. Puerto Rico. and the
Philippines. Tho Washington cores
pondcntsa Of these papers have II all
marked out. and the interesting state
ment Is made. upon what authority 10
not stated. that Puerto Rico is to re-
main n territory. Cuba Is to ultimately
become a state In the Union, and the
Philippine Islands are to be made an
American colony. to which end the

OF its Important features. The cores

popular.
The purpose OF the government re-
garding Puerto Rico has been known
all along and there has been no doubt
about Its being made Il territory OF the
United States. That was the original
Intention and there has been little or
no objection. The policy toward Cuba.
80 far as the administration is con-
cerned, has also been declared. There
has been no departure from the pledge
that was made in this respect. There
have been frequent suggestions, and the
idea has been fayOrnbly received In

The War Prophets.

There were some excitable news
papers in London and in this country
that wanted to pitch in and whip Ger
many on receipt OF the news OF the am
buscade near Apia. a few predicted
that another terrible war" would be
the result. Two of our American states
men also limited that this would be the
result. 1t was an illustration of how
easy it is for excitable editors and
statesmen to DECLARE war, or see signs
Of war under the impulse of a sudden
event. the details OF which are want
Ing. A moments thought would con-
vince any one that so far as Samoa it,
self Is concerned, 1t isn't worth fighting
over.
The only thing the commentators
knew when they were making their
comments. was that in the case Of the
massacre Of April first. the authorized
representative OF the German govern
ment was largely responsible for the
terrible occurrence. 1t seems to be re-
liably stated that, at one time, when
Mataafa. the 'boodthirsty chief who
has perpetrated the outrages, desired to
yield to the Anglo-Amerlcans the con-
sui advised him not to do so. a little
more than ten years ago this same Ma
taafa had cut off the heads Of brave
German soldiers. and partially pro-
voRed the situation which ended In the
joint protectorate being established by
England, America and Germany, but
the consul did not seem to remember
this.
The action Of this consul, while 1t
created trouble. need not necessarily
cause war. There are ways OF settling
questions like this aside from method
which would involve three powerful ma
tons In. war. with two OF them on one
side. There is great deal OF talk;
there are embarrassing features to all
three countries; there are even ankle
ties concerning possible complications
which may arise. The heads OF the
three governments are already prepar-
Ing to settle them without a war which
would cause the world to shake, but the
report OF the Samoan commission,
which does not sail for Apla until the
18th instant. must first be made.

To a Well Meaning Nciehbor.

The 1ntelligencer bcgs to assure Its
Moundsville Republican. contemporary
that 1t thoroughly appreciates the great
Importance Its neighbor attaches TO Its
comments on the Pennsylvania political
situation. 1t Is true the comments have
not been made with the intention OF In
terfering with that situation, nor have
they seemed to change 1t in any way.
as the Moundsville friend seems TO
imagine. In reply to the column or
so of questions which have appeared In
our Moundsville contemporary for the
past two or three weeks, as to why this
paper doesn't support Senator Quay for
reelection, he being the party nominee,
and why 1t doesn't denounce Wanna
maker and the others who do not sup
port him, the 1nteligencer has this to
say: That the questions do not call for
an answer.
The Intelligencer from time to time
has commented on various phases Of
the senatorial situation, and has heard
no voice of dissension outside OF the
Herald Office at Moundsville If Sena-
tor Quay Is acqui,.~d OF the charges
now pending against him in court; II
the present trial results in his vindica-
ton. as the Inteiligencer, with all other
good Republicans. hopes it will, and he
can so before the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture with the prestige OF that vindica-
ton. and be the choice Of the majority
Of the members Of that body, as the
nominee Of his party. the Inte!ligencer
believes that his election will be n tri-
umph OF which any man might be
proud.
Senator Quay has heretofore been
rendered liable to criticism on account
OF things that were done in his name,
after the contest begun. Our friend
should know 1t isn't treason TO say this.
The Intellisencer believes that IL he is
to so to the senate. It should be as one
cleared and indicated from the charges
which stand against him, whether he is
the Republican caucus nominee or not.
This IS good Republicanism. Quay's
case has been an extraordinary one. 1t
cannot be compared with any other re-
cent senatorial election contest.
