Why h&ci4 he have hastened with any more than afe speed, when the Cuban Pilot NiiEM had aured him that the Span ixrds were cot at Santiago. One reputa ble nary c;cer has teufed upon his cth that he heard Captain S:rbee I S'.hley that the Spanih firet' was ba in Santiago Harbor. He assert ed hie knowledge cf this, because of the fact that he had been scouting in that ideality for eteral days. Schley then praeeeded ta coal his famished bunkers and again started with all poasible haste toward Santigo. They then charge that c n the 31st of May he fell short of right actions when he saw the Colon at the mouth of the harbor and did not steam closer to the shore and open fire on her. His enemies would have greater ground for charges, if he had acted in a manner that they now affirm be should. His orders were not to get within reach of the shore bat teries, and to run no risk of having his ships injured. Then to their old charge of the "loop." That argument is now of no use, for Captain Cook has sworn that it was on his orders and not on Schley's that the "loop" was made. Every unprejudiced naval officer admits that it was the wisest move possible on the occasion; and everyone at all familiar with naval tactics believes it to . hive been the greatest bit of strategy of the war. Such has been the whols court. Anti Schley arguments have been met with truth, omissions on the part of Sampson, and positive orders to do exactly what be did, from the navy department. All will soon be over, and the American peo ple will welcome a Schley victory a vic tory for him greater than the one he gained at Santiago. For we know that tt is harder to fight the enemy at home than the one in the field harder to win from him in the rear titan him at the front. William W. Beide.

Brain aa Capital Cuba is today on the high road to more prosperous times than she ever pre viously experienced. There is no distress among the population of 1,572,797 other than might be found in any community under a normal regime. Poverty there is, cf course; it could not be otherwise in view of the events of the last few years. But there is employment for all who care to work, and a fair Waere to be trained with which to support life. To the Cubans themselves the greater part of the credit is due lor the rapid recovery the island has made from the state of prostration it had reached at the period of the Spanish evacuation. Practically without resources of any kind, the people went to work, The meager funds that could be borrowed were employed in putting the sugar es tates in oraer, ia planting tobacco, in raising crops of farm produce, etc After a hard struggle for more than two years the reconstruction of agricultural indus try has been achieved, and smiling fields are again to be seen where all was deso late only a short time ago. ith the present favorable aspect of Cuban political affairs, foreign capital may now seek investment in the agricul tural concerns of the island; but the work of reconstruction is beyond any need of such assistance, and agricultural development will proceed apace even if foreign capital is not available. The fertile soil is there in abundance; peace ful conditions are assured by the United States in agreement with the Cubans. Thet two essential points are a solid guarantee for prosperity in the future. In the production of fruit Cuba is rapidly regaining her old position. Pine apples and bananas are freely exported to the American markets. Orange cul ture is occupying the serious attention of many farmers. Garden truck is also being sent forward to the United States, Few who have not witnessed with their own eyes the recuperative energy of Cuba can realize tne great progress the island is making toward great devel opment materially and politically. The Cuba of five years ago is even now but a historical fact The Cuba of today, under the fostering care of the United biaies government, ts pre-eminently a country of the future. The avenues open to men of brawn, brain and some money, are more inviting in Cuba than in any other section of tamilar area and natural resources in the world. Cattle and live stock raising is a Cuban industry hitherto sadly neglected save for home consumption, but which, be cause of the very favorable natural con ditions existing on the island, especially in Santa Clara Province, will grow to stupondous proportions in the near fu ture as a result of the progressive and aggressive operations of the Santa Clara Fruit and Cattle Co. This Company is a corporation of con servative business men, organized under United States laws, with headquarters in Philadelphia. Pa. It is capitalized at fl.uou,aoo.OU. It owns and controls over MHXX) acres in Santa Clara Province the finest land existing anywhere under the sun. Nearly 50,000 acres are heavily wooded with the finest irrades of mahog any, cedar, etc., while nearly 30,000 acres consists of fine arable land rich in every natural element necessary for the profit able cultivation of fruit, vegetables, rais ing of live stock, etc. Women Teachers Displace Men.

' - I law. th Approved by two of Their Governors, by Their National Convention and Many of Their leaders Could the most vivid imagination por tray what would have been said and done by the plutocratic press if a republican governor had been shot down as was the democratic governor Goeble? Every daily in the land would have flamed with the fire of fierce denunciation. The wildest feats of the "yellow press" would have been discounted. Every spellbind er from Maine to California would have shouted denunciations until the air was loaded down with anathemas. What did take place? The anarchist who shot Goeble was lionized in the national con vention of the republican party is today protected from arrest by a republican governor. A requisition has been . dis honored for the return of the accused for trial by two republican governors. If this is not anarchy, what is? . The republican party press has lately been booming Henry Watterson for gov ernor of Kentucky, because Watterson opposed Bryan and they think that in so doing they add to the prospect of the republican party. Their fulsome praise of Watterson disbars them from assail ing him and this is what he says of the anarchy that resulted in the murder of a governor: At the end of a long and fierce con- test in his own party, William Goebel, the son of humble and plain German parentage, became the democratic nom- t t tr i i luce lur gwveiuwioi xvemucKy. a prouu position at all times and under all cir cumstances, it seemed to .the poor lad, for but a lad he appeared-to be with his beardless face and his shy, studious ways, a very pinnacle, from which he could look into paradise. It had been the dream of his childhood, his youth hood, his manhood. To reach it he had been eager to climb mountains, to traverse and to tread down forests, to meet all comers. It is claimed by . his enemies that he got the nomination un fairly. As a matter of fact, he did noth ing to his adversaries that they were not ready and trying to do to him. It id claimed by his enemies that he was not elected governor. As a matter of fact. both parties were doing their utmost to compel the election - the democrats through the machinery of the Goebel e republicans through "the ma ia aer wtU, a i Area into. o-L. to. a a j, a so, 031 W. Xertfc Ave., Chicare, Ui.rhinery of the state government so that what might have been the result had there been a perfectly regular and or derly election . nobody can say. But, from the day the returning board met at Frankfort to count the vote and declared the result, the purpose of the republi cans to use-force if necessary to carry their point became manifest; and, there after, a reign of terror in their favor was established. Throughout this reign of terror the democrats proceeded at least according to the terms and the forms of law. That they did so is attested by -both the court of appeals of the state and the cirquit and supreme courts of the United States. Meanwhile, ths republican governor, provisionally inducted to office by the democratic returning board, holding this office tentatively, however, and under legal protest and contest instituted by the democratic appellants against the ruling of the returning board, proceeded to intrench himself, not for a legal but for a physical, contest The executive omce was converted in to an armed camp. A lawless bodv of armed men was collected and brought-to Frankfort to serve as supports to two or three companies of militia, which, omcer- ed by republicans exclusively, were al ready assembled. Ihe democratic legis lature became a prisoner in its own cap ital, its members in imminent peril of their lives and its committees chased about the streets by squads of soldiers. The court of appeals, warned of impend ing assassination, had to come to .Louis ville to hold its sessions, secure against threatened murder and military surveil lance. The inevitable came to pass. All this array of force, with its menace of death, proving insufficient to overawe the democrats of the legislature, resort was had to the final stroke prearranged to do its deadly work in this precise event; and, a puff of smoke out of a win dow of the executive office, occupied by the republican governor and his republi can friends, William Goebel is shot down in his tracts while on his way to the dis charge of his official duties. "The executive building is immediate ly surrownded by troops. Access is de nied the legal constabulary. Martial law supplants the civil law. The writ of habeas corpus is ridiculed and denied. The legislature is suddenly and violent ly dispersed. As suddenly, it is called to assemble, not in some one of the many cities or towns in the state, such as Louisville or Lexington, where its proceedings would be unmolested but in an inaccessible village among the moun tains, wither, as might be reasonably in ferred, no democrat could go without the risk of his iife. "In the face of such discouragement the democrats pursued their contest ac cording to law, and, according to law, it was awarded to them by the highest tribunals in the land. Concurrent with the final decision of the supreme court of the United States in their favor, the republican governor, who had held office only under a tentative title, subject to after revision and decision, fled from Kentucky to Indiana, having arranged with the republican governor of the lat ter state for a safe retreat There, with one of his associates, he remains to-day, secure against arrest and extradition. "These are the simple facts. They are met by the republicans with no denial. But to parry them it is set up that Goe bel was a bad man, that the Goebel law was a bad law, and that the democrats of Kentucky are a bad lot The present, like the last republican governor of In diana, assumes that justice cannot be had of the Kentucky courts of law. The present republican president of the Uni ted States is cn record as having, whilst governor of New York, made haste to guarantee the Kentucky refugees the protection of the Empire state. The Philadelphia, newspaper, largely owned and wholly controlled by the republican postmaster general of the United States, refers to the democrats of Kentucky as the "Goebel gang, and speaks of the murdered governor of Kentucky as the "infamous Goebel." If all this be not extenuating and justifying murder.what is? "Much capital is sought to be made out of certain significant expressions in re buttal from certain Kentucky democrats. But what should be said of the condone nient of assassanation subscribed to by the republican party, from the president of the United States down through the cabinet to tho governor of Indiana, and thence to the republican press, which, in order to make its case, must needs de liver an inditement against an entire community, a whole people, and that the God fearing, brave and magnanimous men and women of Kentucky? Are the Kentuckians to keep silent whilst such things go forward? "All is peace again. There is excite ment nowhero outside the haunts of the vicious, the hearts of the malignant He must, indeed, be a bad man who nur tures thought of further violence. Wil liam Goebel is dead most foully slain, as William McKinley was. But two weeks were gone when the assassin of William McKinley met his doom. Near ly two years have passed and still the assassin of William Goebel goes unpun ished. To shield him from punishment every partisan appliance has been put forth. To secure and punish him not one word has eminated from one single republican, although his shots were fired from a building that swarmed with re publicans. To shield him from punish ment the people and the courts of Ken tucky must be accused of ignorance and barbarity that would disgrace a race of barbarbians. Are these things wise, or just either in our home republicans, or in the republican press? J "Murder in murder. That William McKinley and William Goebel were most unlike in character and tem perament is beside the question. That the assault upon their lives differ ed in degree is not to say that it differed in kind. This motive was even more de spicable in the one case than in the other; for Goebel -was shot down for a purpose, for a price, while the noble life of McKinley was sacrificed to the wan dering fury of a fiend. Shall those of us who with honest rage and grief saw William McKinley laid low by a cruel assassin, be made to feel that neighbors and friends, who in the excitement of high party times and in the bitterness of extreme personal disfavor saw with equanimity William Goebel laid low by "an equally cruel assassin, are still willing to condone tae murder of the latter and to stand between the murderer and his just deserts? And, if this be so, must the name and fame of Kentucky the heritage of all of us be sacrificed on the altars of implacable politics, to make the case of zealots who tell us that Kentucky is degenerate and that neither human life is safe, nor legal equity is attainable within her borders, though her supreme tribunal, her court of appeals, is in the hands of the republicans? Think of this, fellow citizens, of every political complexion and partisan be longing; because,, in the Jong run, mur der speaks with most miraculous organ and shall not go unwhipped of justice, and, in the end, no one of us. whether democrats or republicans, can hope to escape either his 'conscience, or his God." - - . , ANOTHER 6. 0. P. SCHEME 'Professor" Boyee on a "Salary" Attempts to Organize Another Tall to the Re publican Kite ..The. Independent has warned the people more than f once concerning one Prof. Boyce," who was chief fugleman for Clem Deaver in the last campaign A circular has been sent to this office in which appear the names of Fred Herman and Dr. H. S. Aley, of Lincoln, who are known to be socialists, in which is made an appeal to workingmen as follows: "Beware of the so-called 'Socialist Party' in Nebraska. It is a fraud here as elsewhere. Proofs? You shall have them. First "It was conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity" at a con vention in Omaha about a year ago. three-fourths of which was made up of capitalists, mid-road strikers, and other republican sympathizers. Prof. Boyce, tneir present chairman then a mid-road leader openly boasts of entering into a deal with the so-called "Socialist" lead ers to manipulate this convention in order to give them, the so-called "Social ists the twe hundred delegates necessary for an official standing on the ballot Second Many of the out-of-town mid road delegates to this covention rode on railroad passes. This is admitted by a then mid-roader. now a so-called "Social ist" Ouery: Who furnished these passes? Third In a political movement like the mid-road where all or near ly all are "hired men," and where the labor performed is non-productive, it might be pertinent to inquire: From whence is the wage fund derived out of which these "hired men" are paid? Less than ten days ago Prof. Boyce informed a man in Lincoln that he was drawing a salary, but refused to divulge its source. Draw your own conclusions. Fourth In this state campaign, like the ass in the fable, they have donned the lion's skin and are trying to palm themselves off for what they are not viz., "Social ists." This they did by stealing the em blem Arm and Hammer and a portion of the name of the Socialist Labor Party which party, since its organization in 18S3, has ' never allowed the banner of the working class to trail in the dust Fifth In Massachusetts its representa tive votes for a f 15,000.00 armory that will be used to shoot down the working class in time of strikes. Sixth In San Francisco, California they beg and are allowed to accept, political jobs from a republican mayor. Seventh In New Jersey their candidate accepts indorse ments from capitalist parties. Eighth- In this state they elect for chairman of their state committee, a man who rides on railroad passes, and who boasts of the same. . The fact is, here, as elsewhere, they are simply capitalist lightning rods put up by the capitalist class to run, true Socialist sentiment into the ground." Quotable Quips.
