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

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. Any peiaiiu disiriug first-cluss
deutal work done will do well to bear
in mind that 1 will be iu Tionesta

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.
