has been As successful as possible
The natives are tired Of the insur-
rection and are more friendly to the Ame-
ricans than to the insurgents This troops
now IN the island ore sufficient for the
emergency. According TO the unofficial
view, which the correspondents says is
held by military men In the field aud
leading thinkers, the outlook Is more
gloomy thah ever for the speedy ending
OF the war. Our raids into the country
and subsequent Withdrawals have done
more harm than good MS they have tend
ed to ALLEVIATE the population without
materially weaking the insurgents. Our
troops ara not numerous enough
to pacify tho island, and viii
not be until they are in
creased sufficiently to enable us to gnrri-
son the places that we take. The popula-
tion lie more friendly to the insurgents
than to the Americans, on account. main
", OF the petty tyranny Of our soldiers.
These two views are diametrioaily oppo-
site. Which is the correct we do not I'M
dertake to say, but it is well known that
official views as telegraphed to the War
Department during the last four months
have been full of prophecies that were
not ful6lled. Repeatedly Gen. Otis has
pronounced the insurgents demoralized
and on the eve of surrender. and then has
besn compelled to telegraph few days
later that they had assumed the offensive
and attacked his troops.

Chicago university has decided not to
attempt to muzzle Its professors, as it
was suggested by one of them ought to be
done in order to maintain the stan ding
Of the institution among all GLASSES, and
It's decision is wise one We can con-
ceiye Of nothing much more humiliating
to great university, or much more like
~ to degrade it In the estimation OF all
Intelligent and thoughtful people than
a denial to it professors of the righu of
free speech. for fear that it may not stand
well with all classes, which being inter
pretsd means that IL may not be able TO
take in all the money it might by toady-
ing to the opinions and prejudices of
'ertain classes OF people. An insti-
tuition that adopted such policy might
possibly get more money, though we
doubt that, but its professorships would
oon fall into the hands of inferior and
iecond rate rlen, for no men of the stand
ng and ability that great institution
lught to command would consent to
wear mnzzle. Instead OF being dis
outraged from speaking their opinions
N public questions professors, along
With all other educated men
ought to be encouraged to do

today for the lack of educated men vino
aave the ability to got at the truth and

lessor has views on imperialism, or the
sariff, or on any other question OF nation
al Importance, it is his right to express
thsm. and If he allows himself to be

About year ago the Woman's Chris.
tian Temperance Union of Dexter took
action against Owen Il. Blackden, pro-
prietor of the leading hotel In Dexter, ON
the ground that he had not procured the
inn-koeper's license required by law.
The statute regulating this license re-
quires that before it shall be granted
the hotel proprietor must give bond
not to sell Intoxicating liquors. In argu-
ing the case before the law court at Ban
gor, Hon. Josiah Crosby of Dexter, held
that the law was unconstitutional, be-
cause 1t involved a presumption that the
hotel-keepers intended to break the law,
and that no man could be legally re-
auired to give a bond upon such a pre-
sumption. The decision Of the court will
be awaited with interest.

his wife have been visiting the RanReley
region. He is rs years Of age. and Mrs.
Randall is II, but they enjoy fishing as
much as the most enthusiastic sportsmen
possibly could do. During their visit in
Maine, Mrs. Randall caught rs bass and
20 trout and landlooked salmon, in .
Guiding salmon weighing seven pounds.

not fail to please Democrats as well as
