what we said before and what We repeat
now, is that the law has been violated.
that rights have been infringed, in one
word, that an act OF despotism has been
committed and that We cannot applaud It,
We are sure that the same authority real
iEed the act with repugnance. The laws
exist in order that they may be enforced
Law Might Be, Reformed.
''If the law was inefficient and defective
and deficient it would have been proper
to reform it. 1t had been done before. it
could be done again, and II the persons
entrusted with its execution were remiss
the military authority, making use OF its
powers, could destroy them or rep.a,e
them by others who would comply with
their duty. We cannot have two stand
ards from which to judge matters OF such
Importance. We are not casuists. nor do
we wish to be so. Despotism does not
lose its character as such because 1t Is
committed in order to punish crinina',
because the criminal is entitled to trial,
sentence and punishment in accordance
with law
La Union Espano a has Pc feet right
to eulogize what in its opinion deserves
eulogy. We make use of the same right by
censuring what from our point of view de-
serves censure and we present the bases
those bases are not 'phantasies and chime
ras Let our. colleague examine the laws
of the United States and it Will see that
we are not badly informed In Wharton,
Digest of the International Law OF the
United States, official publication; IN story,
On the Constitution; in the Revised Stat
utes of the United States, and in the Opin-
ions of the Supreme Court of the United
States, will be found the confirmation of
the arguments We have used The military
authorities in Cuba cannot do what they
choose. Their powers are not omnipotent.
There are limitations; they are restricted
They may commit extra limitations in the
exercise OF the same; but there is legal
remedy therefor. The President himself
could not nor would he, attempt to pro-
ceed in an arbitrary manner, because 1t is
| not in the American character to do So
He is not the only power; there exist also
the Congress and the Federal Court.
"On the other hand. we cannot confound
morals with rights nor with the law and
no matter how immoral an act may be, If
there is law which Furnishes it, it should
| be applied, because if it is pushed aside
and an arbitrary sentence is imposed, a
| greater immortality is committed, besides
| an illegal act.
I'VE are not metaphysicfans, nor do We
| know anything of that science; but IL the
persons who believe that the guarantees
of the laws and the Jurisprudence OF a
country offer to the rights Of individuals
are good foundation for their defence, then
| We are metaphysicians. Pym and Hamp-
| den were metaphysicians, as we'll as Samuel
Adams and Patrick Henry, and peoples owe
! their rights and their liberties to meta
physicians And we end here because We
! have already extended this article great
length"

twenty-n nine cases and eleven deaths; Eng
lish. two cases and one death; Scotch. two
cases and one death; Cuban, two cases and
no deaths; German. Norwegian. Dutch, and
Turkish. one case each. One reason al
legged for the high death rate Of the Anglo
Saxon race is that they are harder drink
ers.
As an extra precaution in behalf of the
Southern States all mail leaving Havana
will be disinfected. a small plant is being
erected adjacent to the pOstoffice- a quar-
antine against Key West is now being en-
forced here. Reports received here say

WHY (?

Why is it that SO many of our young
men have to seek employment in other
places? Is it because some of our bus.
mess men are so welded to the idea
that the services in their business OF
some one from another locality will
pay them better than the employment
of young men born and reared and
schooled here? Whether this bessthe
reason or not, many of them neverthe-
less, when they wish to make start in
life for themselves, have had to GO
away from home to find employment
We now have in mind some half-dozen
or more who have, had to do this, and
we are glad to know that they are all
doing well in their new homes. The
above from the Dalton Citizen is appli-
cable to Marietta.

IIkthe state fiscal court at Frank
ford, KY, eighty-six insurance COM
panies doing business in that state

spiracy to combine and control and fix

Banner.
In Georgia it is made a felony, we
are informed, for manufacturing en-
terprises or corporations to combine to
control and fix prices, the Legislature,
however, exempting railroads and in
surance companies, consequently the
patrons Of insurance companies pay
the fixed prices of the insurance trusts
without any remedy. In Kentucky, it
seems from the above, they have a
remedy.
