FRIDAY, MARCH 2H, 1901.

WILL Mr. Bryan have anything to say in his paper concerning the suppression of liberty by tbe Democratic party in several of the states that grave beavv Democratic majorities at the late election'' We venture to sav that he will not.

Six of the old slave states have now passed laws that take away from tbe negro the ballot which the Republican party placed in his hands. And still there are negroes who say that they are Democrats! By the way. what has become of "Dr." Hickman'

IT looks as though the sensational deadlock in the Nebrassa legislature would be broken and two Republican senators elected. The Republicans of Nebraska cannot afford to throw away their rights as did the Republicans in Delaware. The senatorial deadlock is proving the most potent argument in favor of elections directly by the people.

THK trials of a number of men who sold their votes to the Democratic party at Frankfort at the late election are now in progress. The defendants are being found guilty as they were here and are being disfranchised. The evidence adduced at Frankfort shows that Capt. Allen's money was sown [a foot deep all over Clinton county.

THK negro disfranchisement law of Maryland has been safely passed and A. P. Gorman will be returned tc the senate to declaim against the Republican party as the foe of the poor man and the enemy of liberty. It is a strange thing that the only states in the union that refuse the poor man the ballot are rock-ribbed Democratic states.

A SHORT time before the election the Indianapolis Sentinel published a letter alleged to have been written by C. C. Henderson, a soldier in the Philippines, stating that the American oflicers were maintaining bawdy houses in Manila and otherwise disgracing their country. Henderson was sent a copy of the letter and now replies declaring vigorously that he never wrote a line of it. He denounces every statement made as a lie and expresses a determination to seek redress through the courts upon his return to the states.

SECRETARY ROOT has a record as a patient man, but those American and European interests, which,having failed to accomplish their purpose in Washington are now operating in Cuba to prevent the acceptance of the conditions named by congress by the Cubans, may discover that there is a limit to his patience, and the discovery may be accompanied by an exposure that will not be relished by those exposed. These interests would like to have the Cubans think that they are working for them, but as a matter of fact, they are doing nothing of the kind. On the contrary, thev are working to make American control permanent-. forgetting, or rather iguoring the fact that our national honor is pledged to turn Cuba over to the Cubans just as soon as they demonstrate their ability to undertake the responsibilities of self-government. When these interests were working in Washington, their arguments were that it was necessary for the great property interests of the island that American control should be continued indefinitely: now they are seeking the same end by trying to persuade the Cubans that the conditions named are hard and unjust and that if they refuse to accept them, thev will be modified by the next congress. Of course, they know better, but they can have a new argument ready after the next congress fails to change the conditions, if they succeed in beguiling the Cubans into standing in their own light. Meanwhile American control will continue.

CUBANS SEEING THE LIUIIT. Chicago Intcr-Ocean: The members of the congressional party that recently visited Cuba are unanimously of tbe opinion that the terms laid down by the Piatt resolutions will be accepted by the Cuban constitution makers. This judgment might well be doubted on account of the known tendency of the Latin peoples, where nothing is immediately to be gained by u, contrary course, to say what strangers would like to hear, rather than what they really think. Therefore it may be that the congressmen were deceived by Cuban ideas of politeness.

Dispatches from Havana, however,

confirm from the mouths of Cuban leaders, speaking to their own people, the impression that the American terms will be peaceably accepted. General Sanguily was one of the most radical of the members of the constitutional convention. When the Piatt resolutions were first adopted he practically advised the Cubans to rebel against them. Further rellection, however, has greatly clanged his vie ws. "Independence with some restrictions,-' he is quoted in a formal interview assaying, "is preferable to a continuance of military rule, which would surely follow a rejection of the Piatt amendment." He favors dropping th'. Cuban claim to the Isle of Pines anil would grant the United States the desired coaling stations. "The presence of the authority of the United States,"' he sensibly observes, "will guarantee our independence so far as exterior safety is concerned, and will save us the enormous expense of maintaining an army and navy."

Thus this most radical of the Cuban leaders is now willing to grant two of the three points that the convention at first declared could not be granted. There remains the point of the restriction upon Cuba's power to incur debts. For obvious reasons tbe Cuban leaders will cling to the last to that golden prospect, but in time they will yield. The fact is that the real Cuban pcoplo are rapidly coming to understand that under American supervision they will have peace, prosperity and real liberty. They prefer the substance of freedom to its shadow.

CONDITIONS IN CU15A John Kendrich Bangs, who always has something interesting and instructive to tell, contributes a clean analysis of the Cuban situation. He spent some time in Cuba studying conditions there and he speaks from personal knowledge. He finds in Cuba three elements. One does not desire independence and has constructive ideas which it has so far feared to express. It includes about all those who have any tangible stake in Cuba. Two other classes are doing all the clamoring for independence. "The first of these." says Mr. Bangs, "consists of the revolutionary leaders who see in independence the promised land of high ollicial station and the rich emoluments to be derived therefrom.'' In other words, their zeal for independence is an effect of their appetite for spoils.

The second class of independence seekers is worthy of more serious attention. "It is made up," says Mr. Bangs, "of unquestionably sincere sentimentalists who, having worshipped the Goddess of Liberty from afar, and suffered privation on her behalf for many terrible and weary years, have but the one ambition to see the flag of a free Cuba unfurled over the palace of Havana and a president of the Republic of Cuba inaugurated.'' "They would," Mr. Bangs adds, "hardly lift a finger of protest if, live minutes after the declaration of independence, the Cuban tlag were hauled down, the stars and stripes raised, and the whole establishment handed over by the newly constituted authorities to the United States." In other words, all they desire is to be able to say to their children that they won Cuba's independence and then voluntarily relinquished it for the greater and more splendid freedom conferred by the American Hag.

The aspirations of these really disinterested Cuban patriots the United States proposes to fully gratify. The policy laid down by congress in no way prevents the establishment of a Cuban republic. It simply asks that such republic shall so limit the power of its own selfish elements that its existence shall not become a menace to the prosperity of its own people and our safety. "The American people," Mr. Bangs says, "must be satisfied that Cuba's substitute for Spanish rule is not Weylerism cloaked in the garb of liberty." That is all wo ask of Cuba, and that, for Cuba's sake as well as our own, must be assured.

l-uncral of O. C. Stover.

The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Ed Lane, of Bainbridge, at ten o'clock Saturday morning. He was buried in the Ladoga cemetery. Only one brother, Benjamin, was able to attend. Mi' Stover's loss is greatly felt in Ladoga where he so long lived.

Honor for Mr. Landis.

Hon. Chas. B. Landis, congressman from this district, has received and accepted an invitation to speak at the Grant exercises to be given in the banquet rooms at the Waldorf-Astoria, in New York City, on April 27th. The speakers on this occasion will be Senator Allison, of Iowa Congressman Landis, Hon. Clark Howell, of Atlanta, and Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire.

Mr. Landis will be accompanied to New York by his venerable mother, now 70 years of age, who has watched the rapid advancement of statesmanship of her son with evident pride, but who, on account of her advanced age has had Mttle opportunity to hear him on the rostrum. It will be a great treat for her and her presence will be an inspiration to tbe young orator. The mother will be a special guest of the New York club, who invited her and who will make special arrangements at the Waldorf-Astoria for her comfort and pleasure.

A New Idea.

Congressman Comer, a member of the house committee on postollices and post roads, has a new idea on the rural free mail delivery system that he will endeavor to persuade the postoffice department to adopt. The idea is to make each county seat the headquarters for the routes throughout the county, not allowing any route [to extend outside of a county. Where the route in one county leaves oil it is to be arranged that a route in the adjoining county will begin.

A Popular Conductor Dead. John Caskey, who for twenty-three years has been a passenger conductor on the Logansport division of the Vandalia, died Sunday morning of dropsy. Mr. Caskey resided at Terre Haute and leaves a wife, son and daughter. "Handsome Jack'' Caskey was probably the bast known conductor on the line and was uniformly polite and accomodating. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon.

Surprised.

M. H. Yotingblood was the recipient on the 22d of a happy surprise, it being his 54th birthday. His friends and neighbors to the number of forty came with well filled baskets. A sumptuous dinner was partaken of and some good music was had, Mrs. Charles Davis presiding at the organ. All departed wishing Mr. Youngblood many happy returns of the day.

Got the Child.

Logansport Reporter: Attorney J. S. Lairy was at Crawfordsville yesterday, where he went in the interests of fireman Miller, of the Vandalia, who encountered trouble in securing possession of his child which has been placed in the charge of aCrawfornsvilie couple. They proposed removing to a western state and contemplated taking the child with them until the father threatened habeas corpus proceedings.

UlvesHls i^sason.

Ira McConnell has made a statement regarding the shooting for which he was convicted. He alleges that instead of shooting at his wife he was merely shooting into the ground. He says he wished to empty the revolver in order that he might trade it for an old army relic he had seen in one of the second hand stores.

Poor people, who can't afford maids, either rub themselves with Omega Oil, or get some one in the family to do it. You see, it is so very good for tired shoulders, lame backs, stiff joints, sore throat, cold in the chest atvl rheumatism that you can't blame people for using it.
