slightly hindered by the fact that

really ou
lght to be."
It is now stated that the keynote
of McKinleys's administration will
be international bimetallism and
protection; that be will urge a new
international conference with the
intention of winning back to the
party a large number of its leaders
who have been lost.
The Pittsburg Gazette declares
that whatever enhances the value of
products helps the farmer and what-
ever helps the farmer helps every-
body else. He is the foundation of
every business structure. He is the
single standard of value when it
cames to measuring prosperity.

Texas Farm and Ranch claims
that the best general system of far*
ming is that which consumes the
products of the soil on the farm
where it is grown. This means
stock farming. No other system has
ever been permanently profitable,
and no other system ever enriched
a nation.

No emergency has ever yet found
the American people unprepared to
defend and protect their interests.
The very fact that they have no
standing army to depend on keeps
alive in the minds of the people
those patriotic impulses which are
essential to the preservation and
perpetuation of the republic.
Says the Austin correspondent of
tbe San Antonio Express: The old
Ninth district, as it has been for the
past fourteen years, will be repre-
sented by Hon. Jos. D. Sayers of
Bastrop. Major Sayers, like Col.
Lanham, is so well and so favorably
known to tbe people of Texas and
the United States, that praise for
him here is totaUy unnecessary. He
says this is his last term in Congress
and after it is over he expects to
devote his time to the practice of his
profession, tbe law. He is about 55
years old.
T>xa8 Farmer believes it right to
keep alive tbe silver organizations,
but not nith a view to taking issue
with tbe policies of thn administra-
tion. Let Democracy virtuslly say:
We are willing to abide the test; try
yonr policies without let or hind-
rance from us; we believe they will
fail and that the people at tbe end
THE CUBAN CRISIS.
There are many indications of tbe
close approach of a crisis in the af-
• fairs of Cuba, says the Cincinnati
1 Enquirer. For two years the Span-
ish military operations in the island
have failed dismally. Not only is
the revolt of the Cuban patriots
maintained at its highest pitch, but
the Government and people of Spain
are tired of the awful drain of blood
and waste of treasure that have come
out of the conflict. The Castilian
kingdom is bankrupt, and cannot
much longer stand the expense of
war which promises not result but
humiliation. The whole world is
fast getting to the conclusion that
freedom is the destiny of Cuba.
Spain is making what appears to be
a last desperate effort. Captain
General Weyler has taTien the field
iu person, in command of the Span-
ish forces on the island ; and it seems
to havo been expected that this act
would strike terror to the hearts of
tho insurgents. It has been accom-
panied by a good deal of melo-
dramatic display.
The Cubans have gallantly held
their own, and Spain has been losing
ground constantly. There is but
little prospect that the present pre-
tentious movement against the
patriots will bear richer fruit than
previous similar efforts have. With
her failing finances and the distress
at home over the loss of life Spain
can do no better than she is doing
now. If the current military move*
uient under Weyler fails, the Gov-
ernment at Madrid will be looking
for an easy way to let go of the
island. It will not care to acknowl-
edge that it has been whipped by the
"insurgents." The impression seems
to prevail in nearly all countries that!
Spain, as a last resort, will court in-
tervention by tbe United States, so
that she can say she was overcome by
a superior po*ver. She has already
committed acts that would have
been justification for the appearance
of the American Eagle on tbe scene.
There can hardly be a doubt in the
mind of any thoughtful, humane
man that the authorities at Wash-
ington should have long since sent
a force to Cuba strong enough, at
least, to guarantee accurate informa-
tion as to what was going on there.
The liberation of Cuba is not to
be a work of displomacyi If any
people besides the people of Cuba
themselves have anything to do with
achieving that freedom it must be
the people of the United States.
Our Goveanment should not weaken
in the least in its natural position.
If Cuba cannot free herself the
United States must help her. If
any other country interferes to em-
barrass the patriots in their release
from Spain the United States must
tell that country to keep her hands
off, and must enforce the order.
There has been too long dallying
on this subjoct. Long since we had
the cue for action. The people of
Cuba have repeatedly shown their
desire to be released from the pres-
ent thralldom, and to have a form of
government more in consonance
with that prevailing in North and
South America. This beautiful and
rich island lies close to our main
land. It is preposterous to suggest
that if Spain cannot control it any
other European country should have
a word to say about what is to be<«
oome of it. It has come to this,
that every day Cuba remains under
a foreign yoke adds to oar disgrace.
The Government of the United
States must do it* dnty. Wo are
for peace. Every good man ie for
peace, if it can be maintained with
justice and honor. If there were
anything to arbitrate in the case of
Cuba we would counsel arbitration;
but we would not choose our tradi-
tional enemy, Great Britain, for an
arbitrator. The United States stands
naturally for the freedom of Cuba,
