Reconstruction in Cuba.

The success of recent negotiations
for the disbanding of the Cnbar
army is an important step in thu
direction of reconstruction in Cuba
Hon. Robert P. Porter was commits
stoned to meet General Gomez witt
this object in view, and the diplo
matte skill displayed by Mr.. Porter
has beer productive of good results
The conference evolved an agree
ment on the part of Gomez to no
only disband his army but to co
operate with the United States
authorities in their efforts to secure
to the people of the island a stable
governmental government sut-
ticiently strong to protect all citizens
there in their civil and political
rights. For the purpose of effecting
the disbanding Of the Cuban soldiers,
the sum of three million dollars was
placed at Mr.. Porters command,
and at the request of Gomez the
amount, converted into Spanish
silver dollars, has been made avail
able in the hands Of Captain Gen
eral BROOKE, to be discussed to the
Cuban officers and men in accord
ance with terms agreed upon. 1t is
estimated that each soldier will thus
receive about one hundred dollars,
and that with this sum he can pro-
vide for his immediate needs until
he can obtain honorable employ
ment. The stipulation was made
that this money so paid to such
soldiers was not to be construed as
pay for military services rendered.
Many Cuban officers in the army
are said to have cordially endorsed
the course taken by Gomez, and will
lend their aid carrying out the
spirit as well as the letter Of his
agreement. Should this feeling be-
come general among officers and
men in the Cuban army, it VII
greatly simplify the ardvous task
which the United States government
has undertaken in behalf Of down
troaden people for whom far better
days are near at hand provided that
they shall prove themselves equal to
their opportunities.

THE JOY IN FINDING THE LOST
LUKE15: Ito. God is our Creator,
and because Of this He owns every
one of us, and when one Strays from
His paths or refuses to be led by Him
that soul is lost to God, his place must
be vacant, for none other can fill his
own place and the place of the lost
one also. God loves every individual
and His joy must be great when one
of these lost ones returns. just as
the shepherd experienced great JOY
when he had found his sheep which
was lost, even though it was just one
out of flock of one-hundred. When
we know that there is joy in Heaven
over one sinner that repenteth, we
should at all times be trying to turn
some one from his erring ways. 1t is
not necessary that we all be revival
lists, even the influence of a good life
will help to bring about righteous liv-
ing by those about that life.

Great Rrifain

By whatever motive she may have
been prompted, it should be conoed-
ed that the attitude of Great Britain
during our late war with Spain and
the negotiation of the Paris peace
treaty, was a potent factor in favor
of the United States. At the outset
Great Britain was prompt in leading
the procession Of neutral powers,
and other nations who were III sym
pathy with Spain dared not espouse
her cause, because of complications
which would certainly have followed
such a course. That fear had its
origin in a knowledge of the fact
that the British people would not
tolerate an open defense of the
Spanish cause by either France or
Germany, even though their govern
ment had assumed a neutral posi-
ton. Even after the peace protocol
of August 18th had been signed
both France sand Germany would
have interfered in behalf of Spain
but for the admonition Of treat
Britain To refrain from so doing
1t is evident that the recent war has
brought the Anglo-Saxon nations o
the earth much closer together than
they have ever been before, and this
tact bodies great good to the human
race.

legislative Jottinqs.

The numerous Senatorial dead.
locks of 1899 have given renewed
vitality to the gradually increasing
sentiment in favor of the election OF
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people. The Wisconsin
Senate has unanimously adopted a
memorial to Congress favoring the
proposition.
1t appears evident that the failure
of the Democratic members of the
Legislature to give United States
Senator Mitchell the endorsement
that would have been implied in a
complimentary vote, was not the
result of an oversight. They simply
had no time for Mitchell.
The proposition to change the
time for opening the December term
of the Pierce county Circuit Court
from the second Tuesday to tle fiji q

Dangers of the Grip.

The greatest danger from la grippe
Is OF its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe we have yet
to learn Of a single case having result
ed in pneumonia which shows con-
clusively that this remedy is a certain
preventive of that dangerous disease.
1t will cure la grippe in less time than
