V J THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. J. E. WENK, Editor 4 Pnordi cron. WEDNESDAY, HKCKMUKR f, 1S!C. The frpn nlver Democrats of Chi cago btp going to ri'lrbrnte Jnnkoon Day probably liecmise Jncksnn is dent! ami cannot help himself. It is said that General Weyler can gn thirty six hours without eating. It is also part of his record that he can go longer than that without get ting into a fight. Sknator Pki fkr once wrote about "The Way Out," and now the Kansas rppulista are threatening to show it to him by electing another man to the place lie occupies. It is becoming" more evident every day that the farmers 'were raising dollar wheat last summer, while the free silverites were trying to persuade them that the gold standan? would send them to the poor. house. The highest vote, ever cast in Ne vada was lO.Gf 1, at the Presidential election io lH7ti. This year the- total vote of the State was but 8,507. It is au absuidly narrow basis for three Presidential electors and two United States Senators. PiOUrtKE Cock kan is not disposed to be at all equivocal or qualifying about his duty as a sound money Democrat. "I am tired," he says, "of masquerading as a tariff reform er, and will never again be fouud be fore the public in that capacity." Nor'is this all. "We are bound," he adle.to recognize that the Republican party has been the party of victory, aud we are bound to support the Re publican policy." Such talk is sound and wholesome, aud all of the Fal merite9 ought to look at the matter in that light. Maj. McDowell, Clerk of the House of Representatives, has issued the usual unofficial list of members of the Fifty-fifth Congress. The list shows that the House will be com posed of 204 Republicans, 124 Dem ocrats, 13 Fusionists, 12 Populists and 3 silverites, and that there is one JLJLPJWrey, from the First Missouri dis trict, caused by death. Of the total membership 205 were in the last House, and ten others bad served in previous Congresses. The Republi cans will have a majority of 52 over all. We want this country protected. (Applause and cries of "good.") Wo want our industries protected and judicious laws enacted to protect them. From McKinles:, veranda speeches. We commend this to the attention of those free trade editors who tried to avoid the tariff issue in the Presidential campaign, and who now pretend that it never was an iseue. They should read Major McKinley's veranda speeches, aud study what he said to the delegations that visited him, and what he told the thousands who voted for him. A secret is seldom safe in a wo man's care. A convincing demon stration of this comes from tho Phil ippine Idlauds. A wealthy sympa thizer with the insurgents told his wife that he was to be made President of the Philippine Republic as soou as freedom from the Spanish yoke was effected, whereupon she told her con fessor, who in turn immediately in formed the Spanish officials. The husband was at ouce deported to La Ceuta, Spain's penal colony, all lit property was confiscated and the wife who would talk and tell thiugs was turned iuto the street aud made a beggar. . A cousin of his also I ii was ueggarca oy trie woman s nence of speech. iucouti- The Protective Tariff system in America is older than the United States government. Before the Con stitution vwus adopted individual states tried to secure protection for home industries. Voluntary associa- iiuub were euitreu luio lor Ilia same purpose, aud public meetiugs were held in order to guide public senti maut. At such a meeting, in Boston, the merchants passed a resolution calling upon the people nut to buy or use British goods imported in British ships. The mechanics of Boston were eveu more clear sighted and went farther. They insisted in their ronolutiiiiiH that such goods ought not to be buuyiit or euiiaumed ut all. This was the spirit of the people before the adoption of the constitution ; this was the spirit of tho people at the time of the adoption of the constitution This was the spirit of the first Con gress of the United Slates, which made its fjit bill a bill for the i.to tt-c'.iuii ot American industries. It wa.i u pretty g I spirit, too, and it is just as good now as it was then. 8.:natok Buti.kr, National chair man of the People's party in his newspaper published at Raleigh, N. C, siys: "Speaking now for the Peo ple's parly of North Carolina, and we believe for the nation, we take the liberty of seiving notice on Mr. Bryan that if ho desires to head the reform forces of the People's party in the next fight, he must do so under some othor name than that of Demo crat. The name has become a stench among tho people, now or hereafter. In the campaign just closed the Peo ple's party joined forces with the Democrats, and the Democrats again played the people falsely, grossly and brutally false.- We are done with them now and forever, and also with any man who seeks to load the people hereafter under a standard that may bear tho name or have the smirch of the word Democrat on." In no recent wr has there been a more striking exhibition of the fervor of patriotism thau the public sees in Cuba. Not only are the natives sacrificing their lives and niontv iu the attempt to free their island, but they are constantly destroying their own towns and villiages in order that these may not fall into the hands of the Spaniards and thus become sources of strength to the enemy. This was the policy of the Russians when Napoleon marched to Moscow, and U proved one of the most effec tive agencies in the disastrous ending of that expedition. Where he hoped for shelter he found that the build ings bad beeu burned; where be looked for supplies for horses and men he found that these also had beeu destroyed. The destruction in Cuba is, of course, upon a smaller scale, but in spirit it is the same. The President's Messagv. If for nothing else President Cleve land's last general message to. Con gress will always be memoriable from the fact that in it tho bead of a na tional party congratulates the coun try on the defeat of that party. Of all the possible changes of politics who could ever have dreamed that the last important act of the man raised to power by a sweeping party victory four years ago would be to ex press public felicitations on the over thnrw of the same party organization, Such an occurrence is without pre cedent in political history. . The feature of the message which will probably elicit the greatest in terest is that relating to the war in Cuba. The policy of our govern nient, as here set forth, is sensible aud judicious. He points out that while Spaiu has beeu unable to suppress tbe insurrection, neither have the in surgents been able to set up a govern meut. Event the form of a civil government has been abandoned and the cause of Cuban independence is at present represented purely by military authority disconnected with which other nations may enter iuto relations. The situation is such as to suggest the necessity of intervention to eud a struggle which is continually growing more harmful, and the gov ernment has taken a step io that di Trlion. It has proposed to Spain 'vtlmt. the island bo granted complete autonomy of government, and, since the insurgents could not be expected loitiy down their arms on a mer6 pledge from Spain, the fulfillment of which they would have no nieuns of secunug, our government will guar antee the execution of the agreement. Xo answer has yet been received "rom pain iu reply to this proposal, and whether or not it would be acceptable to the insurgents is yet to be u?cer taioed. If this overture is rejected, intervention may be compelled to a'ke another form, but that the pres ent pocture of affairs cannot be al lowed to continue is quite certaiu. As regards tho financial situation President Cleveland has nothing new to offer. He declares his belief that the present tariff law, if allowed a fair opportunity, will yield sufficient revuiue to provide for the expenses of tbe government if due economy is piacticed. He reiterates his previous recoiiimeiulaliou that the greenbacks slnuld bo retired aud that the nation al banks should be compelled to re deem their own notes. He recom mends the reduction of the tax on eirculaticu to oue-quarter per cent. It is now 1 per cent. Tbe message closes with a repre sentation of the uneasiness in the public mind over the aggregation tf capital iu the form of trusts, and calls Hlteiitiuu to tho fact that exist ing legislation ajiuinst trusts is inade quate to deal witU the subject. On this point be di es not make any dis tinct leommeudaiiuu, and tbe sum of what he. says is that something ought to be done. Pills. Citron. Tel cjrajih.

Tress Opinion on the Mcoiro. Chicago Time Herald, Iud.: "Only the mnst urgent friends of Cuba can complain of the tone of the pBrt of the President's message devoted to tho relations of tho United Stales with Spain. Those who are familiar with the ohsiinato and inflexible character of tho President's temper ament did not expect that his mes sage would dicclose any evidence of a change of sentiment on the revenue question." Chicago Record, Ind.: "That part of the President's message which treats of the Cuban rebellion outlines a policy which the subsequent admin istration may have to recognize and adopt ns providing tbe only just and dignified way nut of tho difficulty. His threat to Spain for the condi tions on which it is based do not make it any tho less a threat will present to tho European power a very clear view of this nation's attitude." St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Rep.: The message is a wise and temper- ale document, aud deserves tbe intel ligent attention of Congress and tbe country. His suggestions upon green back retirement and enlarging the is sues of national bank notes are re form measures that should lie easy of accomplishment." The Ricbmoud, Va , Dispatch, Dem.: "The message ought to allay the widespread alarm of business men lest we should be plunged into u war with Spain on behalf of CKiba. If Spaiu kuows what is good for herself she will accept this government's of fer of mediation." Atlanta Constitution, Dem.: "The Cuban feature of the message is a gratifying step toward tho recogni tion to which free Cuba is entitled from this country." Chicago Tribune, Rep : "Regard ing the Cuban question the message is in tbe nature of u time server and a makeshilt. It tries to throw off all responsibility from the shoulders of the present administration aud load, it upou the back of the incoming ad ministration The president has not tbe nerve to do his duty and he leaves it for his successor to perform The tariff net of lf$94, which President Cleveland refused to sign because of its 'inconsistencies and crudities' seems to suit him perfectly nofl'." A War of Extermination. It is not difficult io believe the re ports iiJ distardly atrocities ou the part of the Spaniards when Havana newspapers advise a uar of extermi nation as tbe only method of sup pressing the insurrection. La Lucha suggests this blood thirsty expedient without an qualification, and other journals uf.tbe Cuban capital speak in the same tone, although tbey do not go to tho same length. Previous uprisings of the people in Cuba have been crushed out in this merciless fashion, and therefore it comes natural to the Spaniard to rec ommend a return to tho barbarity which marked former military oper ations of Spanish commanders. It may be that the advice of La Lucha was inspired by the captain general himself. At all event, his press ceusnis allowed it to appear. They would have crossed it out of tbe sheets submitted for their inspection if they had supposed it had been uu welcome to Weyler. Desolation now reigns in mauy portions nf Cuba. Ruined towns, burnt sugar planta tions, destruction of homes, murders of men, women and children have marked the path of Weylor's forces. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to extend his merciless cam paign iu tbe country now held by the revolutionists, to depopulate the is land, to make a solitude and call it peace.
