RESPONSIBILITY FOR CUBAN
ERAVfnS

Republican senators and representatives.
and leading Republican politicians are re-
sponsible for the frauds which have been
committed in Cuba. No doubt some of
the senators and representatives who have
been loudest in condemning the pos toffice
thieves and the thieves in other depart
ments of the Cuban service were among
the most persistent that their relatives and
political heelers should be given good
places under the government In Cuba. The
heads of the war and postofice depart
ments were pressed so strongly by men
prominent in the Republican party for
places in Cuba for friends, that they had
not the time nor, in fact, the inclination
to inquire whether the persons TO whom
they gave appointments were fit to serve
the government or not. 1t is estimated
that there are about twice as many per-
sons holding government places in Cuba
as there is any use for. and 1t is fact.
doubtless that many OF them are paid
three or four times what they are worth.
1t was stated an one of the dispatches
from Paris day or two ago, that United
States Commissioner Peck, OF the Paris
EApOSlllOH, was paying CleTkS SOp a Nceh
who would not be able to earn SIS a week
at home. And why does Commissioner
Peck thus squander the public money?
Simply because these young men, who are
paid four or five times what they are
worth are proteges of senators or mem
bers of the House. He knows that if he
refused to grant favors to these Legislators
his appropriations would likely cease.
AS matter of feet public officials can
not protect the government II they had the
inclination TO do So The members of
Congress of the dominant party will not
permit them to do so. They insist upon
having their friends taken care of at the
expense of the public. The blame for
most of the extravagances, and even for
the frauds from which the treasury suf-
fers, rests upon senators and representa-
tives of the dominant party If the truth
could be got at 1t would doubtless appear
that all of the officials in Cuba found
guilty of wrong-doing were appointed on
the recommendations of Republican sena-
tors or representatives.

THE CEMETERY QUESTION.

II is evident from the action OF Council
on the report of the Special Cemetery
Committee, that there is great deal of
opposition to investing as much money
in a cemetery site as the adoption
of that report would require. Alder
man Tiedeman placed the amount at
$3.50 600 and it is probable that his esti-
mate was not very far out of the way.
The refusal to approve the report was
somewhat of a surprise, since the impress
sion was that seven of the aldermen fav-
oreJ It. The aldermen had doubtless found
out during the last two weeks, however,
that the sentiment of the community was
against the site which the committee had
recommended, and against such large
outlay as the selection of that site in
volved.
As TO whether any further effort will be
made to get the city to accept the Gar
rard tract, is a question that cannot now
be answered. 1t is hardly probable, how
ever, that any one OF the aldermen Will
care to take the responsibility of making
another effort to have the city accept it.
The objections to 1t are very strong ones.
As they were stated by Aldermen Tiede-
man and Wells recently, and again by
Alderman Tiedeman on Wednesday night
at the Council meeting, they satisfy the
greater part of the community that the
cisy would make regrettable mistake
if it should purchase the Garrard land for
a cemetery site.
Sometime ago we suggested that there
was no good reason why the city should
own a cemetery. Let it be understood
that the city does not intend to purchase
another site, and it is probable that a
private corporation would undertake TO
provide a cemetery that would meet all
requirements. and would be in every other
respect satisfactory.

TIE GOVERNOR DEFINES THE IS
SIZES

In his speech before the Democratic
State Convention yesterday Gov. Gambler
pointed out what he considered the issues
Of the national campaign. In his opinion
the questions of tariff. silver and Iegisla-
tive policy were Insignificant in compaT-
ison with the question of imperialism On
this point he said: The question that con
fronts us is whether this shall continue
to be a republic or be changed into an
empire | am no alarmist, but l declare
and l want to go on record as declaring,
that the issues of 1860 out Of which grew
the most desolaung civil war of modern
times. were not so fraught with danger to
the principles for which our auc estors
fought in 1776. are the issues in the
pending election. In 1860 all parties ad
hered to the Monroe doctrine. the doctrines
of independence and of the constitution.
The Republican admins tration has aban-
doned the Monroe doctrine. the sheet
anchor of the republics of the Western
hemisphere. 1t has spit upon the doctrine
that all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed,
and has, in a thousand ways, defed ana
1t has waged a war OF conquest against
a people whom it has found struggling
against a Spanish tyrant for the right OF
self-government.
Further along in his address the Gov
ernor pointed out that the Republican par
ty had imposed heavy taxes in order 10
carry out the policy Of Imperialism. and
that by means of these taxes there hal
been built up monopolles and trusts which
had closed every avenue to successful in
dividual enterprise. The Governor ex-
pressed the opinion that our government
was no longer the government OF the
people, but was an oligarchy. The next
step. he said Is into empire.
The Governor is right in thinking that
the great issue in the presidential cam
paign is that of Imperialism. The atten-
ton Of the people is being concentrated
upon it, They are of course interested
in all Of the political questions which are
being discussed, but not to the extent that
they are in the question as TO whether the
principles on which the republic Is founded
shall be adhered 10.
Imperialism means miltarism and
trusts Most of the large fortunes ale
owned by Republicans. The Republican
party wants a large Standing army. 1t
means 10 protect trusts, because great
fortunes are made out of trusts quickly
and are invested in trusts. As trusts in
crease in wealth and number big army
may be necessary TO protect them from
the attacks of an indignant people
The mission of the Democratic party Is
plain. 1t must defeat the policy of imper-
ialism destroy trusts and bring the repub-
lie back TO its ancient moorings. 1t is
probable that il would stand a greater
chance for success il it should concen-
trate all of Its efforts against imperialism
That seems to be the idea of the Governor.
The silver question. and other questions
concerning which there is a difference OF
opinion in the Democratic party, can walt
until the Democracy gets control OF the
government, and the opportunity, when
effective action can be taken, comes.
