We suppose Congreéssman Leighty came to Albion to get some pointers for his approaching congressional duties. We expect he wanted some assistance in preparing his maiden speech as he was conspicuously silent during his campaign upon the great questions of the day. Probably those questions neyer occupied his mind. He was doubtless thinking more about making money than he was of the great questions of that which concernsthe people of the United States.

The Page‘ Fence Giants were again the yictors, they succeeded in running up 21 scores‘ to theircredit while the Chicago Unions secured 6) It was expected that the games ‘wé uld be more closely contested and therefore prove more interesting; but the general opinion was that the Chicago Unions were outclassed.

Hoffman went to St. [Louis, Saturday, where he intends to have a full line of Hoffman & Co.’s vehicles on exhibition at the fair in that city next week.

The Duty of Our Government,

- Judge Speers’ feeling 1s undoubtedly that of the great majority of intelligent Americans without regard to party. The people of thig, great and humane nation are awaking to a sense of t7orrpr and indignation as they begin/ to comprehend Spain’s policy toward Cuba. All the resources of Spdin, financial and military, are now being marshaled in one supreme effort to crush the rebellious colony. No decent motive can be assigned for that policy, A colonial possession separated by a broad ocean is no part of the inyiolable soil of a European nation. The European colonial system is by no means sacred, and indeed there is very g&gtle about 1t that is entitled to respect. So long as a colony can be kept in tutelage with the acquiescence and good will of the colonists, no outsider need complain. -Even if at times a slight show of military authority may be necessary to put down some small revolt which does not command the assent’ of the colonistsin general, there is again no ground for outside . criticism, ' But when a European power can only keep its hold upon a transoceanic colony by waging against'it a ferocious war—employing its armies, navies and financial resources with the same desperate energy that it would use if it were engaged in declared warfare with some other powerful nation—it is time for outsiders to protest and it the protestis not heeded to interfere. - The United States is -the dominant power in the western hemisphere. It owes duties to itself and to its neighbors. Cuba is our very near neighbor. If Spain can so administer Cuban affairs as to assure a condition of peace and' prosperity m the island and can keep the loyalty and good will of the colonists, it is not necessary for us to eoncern eourselves with the fact that the Spanish flag flies on Cuban soil —so long as Spain’s pres--ence there mm no wise menaces or injures us, But when this European monarchy makes an island off our very coasts the theatre of hideous warfare, with she avowed intention to hold the island even though extermination of. the inhabitants should be necessary, the situation is entirely different. Such a situation exists. Our moral duty to interfere in behalf of the Cubans therefore. becomes far plainer and more imperatiye than the moral duty of the great'powers of Europe to -interfere in the name of righteousnesss and humanity with the actions of the Turkish government toward the Armenians. It is not a moment for finespun technicalities. = A state of war exists in Cuba. The Cubans are actually belligerents 1f any revolted people, struggling for their independence, had ever a right to that title. If therecognition of Cuba's belligerent rights by our government should be the best way to give Cuba fair play, such recognition ought to be made within the next few weeks. But yery possibly a better way would be tor the goyernments of the United - States,, Mexico, Brazil and every other republic in the western hemisphere to send a joint note to the Spanish government protesting that thé unseemly struggle of the past quarter of a century in Cuba had outraged the feelings of America beyond the point of further endurance, and that Spain must now, once for all, permit the Cubans to decide yoluntarily: the question of their own future destiny. Such a course would ‘be as great an act of kindness to Spain as to Cuba. -Henceforth Cuba can never be a source of any benefit whateyer to Spain; and the price of the blind and stubborn pride which would crush Cuba regardless of everything is likely to be bankruptcy for the Muadrid government, with reyolutions at home which will overthrow the dynasty. It is time for the United States to take some action .in the interest of peace and order.—From ‘‘The Progress of the World,”” in the October Review of ReViewss i ~ ; :
