ALL reports of trouble to the
contrary Notwithstanding, it is very
safe to say than this country is not
going to actively intervene in Cuba
unless it has to. The foreign press,
especially that of France, has tick
eted the revolution as an annexation
movement. This is probably quite
true, but the Presidents move in
sending Secretaries Taft ard Bacon
to investigate the facts on the spot
has uncovered state Of affairs that
will tend to make for Cuban peace
without the need of annexation by
this country. 1t seems that Pres
ident Palma, and those associated
with him, have been doing the us
ual thing in making the job of gov.
eminent pay good deal more than
the officially announced salary.
This is deplorable state Of
affairs, it is true, but it is one that
has to be reckoDed with in most
Latin American administrations.
and it is merely coarser form of
graft from which this country is not
altogether exempt. Our municipal
and national officers may sometimes
take what they find laying around
loose, but in Cuba, and other South
American countries, as in various
parts Of China, the public office is
a private snap" and the office-bold.

is TO be worked for all it is worth.

his accredited agents to Havana.

with the lnsurgentes, than to have

Miller read a poem which he had
written entitled 1906, viz:
1906.
Two scores of years have passed ayav.
Since here contending armies trod 1:
And hosts iii Blue met hosts in GRAY,
Where now the rip 'ning corn tops nod.
Here War and Want went hand in
hand,
And homes and iiresides desolate
Marked woeful lines Ger all the land
The finger prints of destined Fate.
Now all is changed and glorious Peace
Asserts her sway from shore to shore :;
She babe the awful conflict cease
And furled your flags forevermore.
The tools of war in plough share
wrought
And implements the reapers WELD.
No longer tell how brothers fought.
And give no hint of crimson field.
The earth once moist with blood of men
From Northern hills and Southern
plains
Responsive, gTeetS the plough again
And III her bosom hides the stains.
Here then, Je men with grounded guns.
Where battling legions cease to tread
inspire with hope your living ones,
And venerate your sleeping dead.

The Republican State Committee
met at Huntington the 18th inst. Tor
the purpose of considering the dis
pute between the judicial executive
committee of the eighth circuit and
the Republican county committee OF
Mcdowell county.
The committee held that the Judi
clal committee in the eighth circuit
had exceeded It's authority In calling
county conventions, but that the
various conventions were regular.
The decision gives the nomination
to Herndon, and the Ritz followers
conceded the hopele3sness Of their
position a. soon as the ruling was
announced
This Will probably end the mos,
remarkable judicial contest ever
waged in West Virginla.-Ex.
The Ritz followers say they have
not given up the fight, but propose
to nominate their candidate; they
claim the State Committee had nc
right to butt in and decide anything.
This is certainly an uufortunat,
muss the Republicans of that Judi
cial circuit have gotten into and may
result in Democrat being elected
