THE CUBAN MANIFESTO.
The manifesto issued by the Cuban
insurgents appeals strongly .to the sym
pathy of the liberty-loving American
people. It is a strongly written, dis
passionate, yet earnest document"and
will commend HppIi to the consideration
of fair-minded ihtsohp. The cause of
the Cuban ueiirc'-nl? is gaining ground
continually, and though recent qaestions
have tended to absorb the greater share
.of public attention, yet Cuba and her
woes are in the thoughts of sympa
thizing Americans. Expressions of in
terest and assurance of sympathy, un
official, are continually being made, and
unless Spain makes greater headway
in the next few months than she has in
the past, the recognition of Cuba by this
government will come to pass. In sum
mariziug Cuba's needs the manifesto
says :
"The people of Cuba require only lib
erty and independence to become a
factor in prosperity and progress among
civilized nations, instead of intranquil
ity, disturbance and rnin. The fault
lies entirely with Spain. Cuba is not
the offender; it is a defender of rights.
Let America, let the world decide where
rests justice and right."
The Cubans declare that no people
ould bear the wrongs endured by the
Cubans without degradation and con
demning itself to annihilation. The ex
actions of Spain have proven too hard
to bear, and as n last resort the patri
otic Cubans have taken to arms. The
manifesto concludes :
"Spain denies the Cubans all effective
powers in' their own country; condemns-them'
to political inferiority in
their native land; confiscates the prod
uct of their labor without giving in re
turn either Eafety, prosperity or educa
tion. Spain has shown itself utterly
incapable to govern Cuba, which it ex
ploits, impoverishes and demoralizes.
The Cubans, not in anger, but In de
spair, have appealed to arms to defend
their rights and "vindicate the eternal
principle, without which every coiu
. inanity is in danger, the principle of
justice. Nobody has the right of op
pression. Spain oppresses us. In re
belling against the oppression we defend
our right; in serving our own cause we
serve the cause of mankind. We have
not counted the number of our enemies,
nor measured their strength. We may
find ruin and death a few steps ahead.
So be it, we do our duty. II the world
is indifferent to our cause, bo much the
worse for all. A new iniquity shall
have' been-consummated, the principle
of human solidarity shall have suffered
defeat." '
: Senator Carter of Montana has intro
duced a bill into the United States sen
ate Authorizing the Pacific Cable Com
pany to build a submarine cable from
some point on the Pacific coast to the
Hawaiian Islands. A provision is also
made for its extension to Japan. The
bill provides that no liability for its con
struction shall attach to the United
States, but this government shall pay
for a period of twenty years, the sum of
$25 per nautical mile, and all messages
of the United States are to be carried
free for that period and given preference
in transition. The line must be laid
and in working order within two years.
Without examining into the details of
the bill, its object is an important one,
and the senate will do well to give the
subject its early consideration. The
sentiment of Hawaiian annexation to
the United States continues strong, and
the laying of the cable will bring the
two countries into closer commercial
relations and' aid. in' bringing about
closer political union. !
It is to be hoped the Venezuela inci
dent will- be treated iti a broad statesman-like
manner, and not be subjected
.to petty .polities. " Party feeling should
,WJftid; aside, and democrats and repub
tfe'ftrie unite in protecting the honor and
Watery 'of the country without regard
to what faction will receive the greater
creuic. .ic is a time ior statesmanship,
not partisan selfishness.
Foe -once an Oregon court can be
praised for the expediency with which
it has dealt out justice. Although the
crime for which Lloyd Montgomery will
go to death was committed but a month
ago, the murderer has been tried, con
victed and sentenced to death. Such a
.rapid procedure' is far too unusual in
Oregon courts, and this incident is at
tracting notice became of its infre
quen'cy. o The counsel for the defendant
has made the usual motion for a new
trial, already showing a desire to, defeat
an outraged justice.- No technicalities
or shystering should be allowed to delay
the fulfillment cf the law's design in the
ca&e of Montgomery. ... The sooner the
world is rid of such a wretch, the safer
it will be. '
WILL IT BE WAR?
Walla Walla Union, The president's
meesage, with the accompanying corres
pondence between Secretary Olney and
Lord Salisbury, the English premier,
has-been almost universally received
with satisfaction by citizens of all par
tics. The position of this country de
manded that its principles and policies
concerning European interference in the
American geographical division should
be proclaimed, asserted and vigorously
defended upon all occasion when it shall
become necessarv. : -
La Grande Chronicle. The responses
in the way of approval of the president's
special measage on the Venezuelan mat
ter have been general from all parts of
the country and from people of all politi
cal .beliefs. These words of approval are
indicative of the fact that the spirit of
patriotism is abroad in the land, and
that while disagreement on home affairs
may be wide and varied, the people are
all American ai d are ever ready to up
hold their national integrity.
Portland Telegram. It is estimated
that at least five billion dollars of
English capital are invested in the Unit
ed States, and that at least $100,000,000
are sent to England every year as divi
dends and rentals for such investments.
An act of war would jeopardize all
these vast interests, and England is not
likely to sacrifice them for the sake of
securing a strip of land in Venezuela.
She may bluff and bluster, but she will
hardly venture beyond the brow-beating
6tage. Her patriotic pride is never al
lowed tooverdue her financial prudence.
If there were any possible opportunity
for her to reap pecunciary profit from a
war with this country, we might find it
wise to look to our guns. But there
isn't. England has been restrained
from throttling the porte as much by
consideration of her investments in
Turkish bonds os by anything else, and
would stand even more insolent defiance
from Uncle Sam than she has received
trom Abdul Humid before she would im
molate her pocketbook upon the alter of
a mere principle.
