dictate that the Republican leaders
either do not appreciate the importance
of this great waterway to the mari

too much consideration to the interest

which secured the adoption of the pres
tons have made it imperative that the
people be permitted to speak directly
in the selection Of their representatives
in the senate. A senator is no less the
representative of the state because he
receives his commission from the peO-
pie themselves, rather than from the
members of the state legislature. II
a voter is competent to vote for a
member of congress, for state officers
and for president, he is competent to
choose his representative in the SEN
ate \ system which makes the SEN
ato1 responsible for his election to the
people. as q whole, and amenable to
them if he misrepresents them, must
commend itself to those who have con-
fdence in the intelligence and patriot
ism Of the masses.
The platform indorses the princi-
pie of direct legisla ton. This is al
ready applied to the more important
questions in nation, state and city. 1t
rests upon the sound theory that the
people can be trusted. and that the
more responsive the government is to
the will of the people, the more free
it will be from misuse and abuse.
THE LABOR QUESTION.
Abolition Of Government by Injunction
Is Necessary.
Several planks of the labor platform
are devoted to questions in which the
laboring classes have an immediate
interest, but which more remotely ef-
feet our entire population. While what
is generally known as government by
Injunction is at present directed chief
" against the employees of corpora
lions, when there is disagreement be-
tween them and their employer, it in
wolves a principle which concerns ev-
cry one. The purpose of the injunc-
ton in such cases is to substitute trial
by judge for trial by jury, and is
covert blow at the jury system. The
abolition of government by injunction
is as necessary for the protection of
the reputation of the court, as it is for
the security of the citizen. Blackstone
IN defending trial by jury, says:
'The impartial administration Of
Justice, which secures both our per-
sops and our properties is the great
end of civil society, but If that be en-
trusted entirely to the magistracy, a
select body of men, and those selected
by the prince such as enjoy the high
est offices of the state, their decisions
in spite of their natural integrity, will
have frequently an involuntary bias
toward those of their own rank, and
dignity. 1t is not to be expected from
human nature that the few would be
always attentive to the interests and
good Of the many"
If the Grim nal laws are not sufficient
for the protection of property, they
can be made more severe, but a citi-
zen charged with crime must have his
case tried before a jury of his peers
The blacklist as now employed in
some places enables the employer to
place the employe under practical du-
ress, for the skilled laborer loses his
independence when the employers can
not only discharge him, but prevent his
securing any similar employment The
blacklist enables employers to secure,
by mutual agreement, that control
over Tie wage earners which a private
monopoly exercises without contract.

ISLAND OF CUBA.

publican Party?

Can Its Welfare He 1ntrusted to the Re-
publican Party.
The recognition contained in both
the Democratic and Republican plat
forms of the right of the Cubans to in
dependence. removes the general prin-
ciple involved from the domain Of par
tisan politics. 1t is proper, however,
to consider whether the accomplish
ment of this purpose can be safely en-
trusted to the Republican party after
it has yielded to the allurements Of the
colonial idea, and abandoned it's ear
lier faith in the natural and inalien-
able rights Of man.
The tine is ripe for systematic and
extended effort to reclaim the arid
lands and tit them for actual settlers.
The last agricultural report estimates
that homes can thus be provided for
many millions Of people. The i'm
pounding and use of the waters which
are wasted in the spring would people
the western states with thrifty, intelli-
gent ana Industrious citizens, and
these would furnish valuable market
for all the products Of the factories. A
small percentage of the money spent
in a war of conquest would provide &C.
cupation and habitation for more peo-
pie than would ever seek residence
in colonies within the tropics.
The reasons given by Washington,
Jefferson and the other statesmen Of
the early days in support of the doct-
rine that we should maintain friendly
relations with all nations, but enter
into entangling alliances with none,
are even stronger today than they
were hundred years ago. Our COM
merce is rapidly increasing, and we
are brought into constant communica-
ton with all parts of the world. Even
if we desired to do 50, we could not
afford to ALLEVIATE many nations by cul-
tivating unnecessary intimacy with
few. Our strength Snd standing are
such that it is less necessary than ever
before to lean for aid upon the friend
illness of a foreign power.
We cannot connect ourselves with
European nations, and share in their
jealousies and ambitions without los
ing the peculiar advantage, which our
location, our character and our insti-
tutions give us i'll the worlds affairs.

find the supposed yellow fever bacll-

stantiate the old theory of 20 years
ago that disease is spread by infected

insects convey malaria has long since
been accepted as fact, aud the
doctors made good use of this truth
in their late investigation as to the
propagation of yellow fever in Cuba

gerous experiments They would ln-
oculate mosquitoes and then allow
them to bite the doctors engaged in
