Jf tho president believed that Anything Icm than Independence for Cuba could give the relief which hu manity demanded he betrayed ft want of knowledge which la deplorable In a hlef executive of a republic that I. founded upon the Declaration tf In dependence.

Theae men, disciplined n .the party caucuec, knowing the penalty of dUagreelng with the execu tive power of the government, came out as honcHt men, and stood for the proposition "That the people of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and Independent."

Wo knew Mr. Mereer wa the tool of llome and we susprn'ted Mr. Hitchcock, on account of hi hualnnRa that of owner of the World-Herald would not dare to take a stand against the Inter est of the lloman Catholic church. IV r some time It ha been apparent that there ahould lie a new party. J. Sterling Morton and hi confrnree who are soon to moot In Philadelphia, can do the people a lasting; service If they will rlaa to the occasion and make the cardinal irlncrpca of their new party, separation of church and state; complete civil and rellgloua liberty; opening of all private or sectarian asylums or house of detention; If they will renew the declaration In favor of freo apeech, of free schools and of a free pre; they wilt again declare that all power Is derived from the gov erned, and that this la and ought to he a government of the people, for tha poodle and by the people. If they fall to take that advanced ground thojr lose tholr only opportunity to meet the de mands of the hour. It may not lie known by politician that the American people realize that the republican party Is but a toy In tha baud of Archbishop Ireland, that they real fen that tho democratic party Is but a pawn In the possession of Arch bishop Corrlgan and Cardinal fJllibon. That they know that no matter which party wins the church of Homo Is the gainer, It Is In Mr. Morton's power to put a party In tho Held that will cut right Iw'twoeti the Influence of the prelates of that church, and draw to his stan dard the best and truest element of our cltlxenshlp. Iln lis tho courage, ho has the ability, to unify all tho reform elementa, and If t.e goes Into the fight with an eye single to the welfare of the people, to tho perpetuation of their liberties, and to the rehabilitating of their free Institutions, he will have written hi name high up on the scroll of fame, aa the benefactor of bl coun trymennot least of whom are the millions of patriots who ana In the steady and raphl advancement of the church of Rome to a point of vantage in our affair of state the real enemy of their country and who are waiting for a loader who u lll place In the frort thoae principle which they love, and for which their father fought and died, Will bo do It? To keep the record straight for fu true reference, let It be remembered that two of tho fighting supporter of Win. I. Klnrslead for county commla- sloner were John A. Crolghton and Fred J, Rackett. It will be recalled that these gentlemen formed an offensive and defensive alliance at the lime flaekctt ran for tax commissioner when he became a party to foisting Frank B, Moores upon the people. It Is also a matter of record that alnce Mr. SAckett was installed as tax com missioner he baa cancelled a large amount of city tax in which Count Crolghton's diurcb is Interested.
