THE ItETOHMED SPEIJUXO FAD.
Nothing more vain than thla pro
pesed reform In spelling haa ever
been projected upon a patient people.
It Is not surprising that Trentd-ut
Kotsevelt hss fallen In with It, for
lh Is a distinct fedtflat. but It is an
(undertaking which la marked for fail
ure. The President may compel U
adoption at the WU.;e llouae and In
the Uepartmenta at Washington, but
he cannot enforce It upon the publi-:.
The English language I written and
spoken throughout a large part of the
world, and the edict of the Pre-ldent
of the Unlttl Sates will not b ef
fective to change the writing of It even
In this country, much loss in others.
Inconsistent aa tho spelling of It is.
and unnecessary as are somo of th'.
lehe-a to many of the words uhlch
carry them, the present' way I the
way of the Engllsh-peklng world,
and the abandonment of the old tyle
and replacing it with a new cannot
be accomplished by an executive order
from Washington or otherwise. Some
years ago a revision of the Scripture
of the Old and New Testament waa
announced and tho tlm for tho ap
pearance of the Revised Ulble on the
New York m-ket wa fixed for a day
certain. Before the" hour ' for the
book store to open that morning the
sidewalk, and curba In front of them
were lined with men and women Im
patient to buy. They bought, and for
several day or maybe for a few weeka
the Revised Rlble had a groat vogue,
hut In a tittle while the Interest or
shall II bo called curtosllyT eubstded
and tha Revised Bible I never heard
Of any more. Bo, tha reformed sys
tem of spelling wilt be much talked
and written of for a few weeks, and
then It will go the am way.
IXTEUVKVriOX IX CUBA.
The question whether the United
State. will have to Intervene to sup
press the new revolution In Cuba Is
up for discussion. It I evident that
there I a good desk of Insurrection
ary feeling on the Island due te no
apparent cause and to be accounted
for primarily, perhaps, by t"he fact
that the Cuban people are natural rey
olutlonUisand Hhether the Inland
government will be ablo to handle It
successfully Is yet to be determined.
This country has largs Interests In
Cuba now, a great deal of American
capital having gone thereslnce the
war with Spain set It free, and to
these Interest th t'nlUid State owe
a duty. Th right of Intervention,
too, In clear, having been reserved by
the Piatt amendment to th army ap
propriation bill passed In MafYh, 1101,
thus:
That the government of Culm eon
Benin thul the United HUtes sliull ftxar
clse ths rlslil to Intervene for the pres
ervstlon of t'lihsn Independence, th
maintenance of n. government adequate
fur the protection of Hie, proterty and
Individual lllert'. and foe discharging
Hie obligations with reepeet to Culm
imposed by the treaty of I'nrls on the
I'nlted "tale, now to be resumed snd
undertaken by tha government of
1Mb.."
Hut many things are lawful which
nre not expedient and It Is to be hoped
that this government will act with
great deliberation In exercising Its
right of Intervention. Cuban resi
dents nf New York are seeking to In
duce the President to apply bta power
in tha premise and It i altogether
to hi credit that thus far he haa
made pn sign. The United Slates
have had a, great drl ef trouble oil
rubs' account, have sacrificed many
lives and spent much money for her,'
and a small war for the, augjtigstlon
of a past of the people they have an
recently relieved f of the domlna.tln

never yet scratched one.. . I am . a
irfpubllcan from principle and expect
to alwaya remain so, but when th
Republican party, or any party, nom
inates a man for office who I un
worthy to represent them In that ca
pacity, honest men who are controlled
by reason, should register their dis
approval of such a nomination by
voting against him. For thia reason. I
shall, at the next ecetlon, for the first
time In my life, scratch a Republi
can's name from the ticket, vis: Mr.
Spencer Blackburn, and shall vote ami
do all I can to elect Mr. R, N. Haclcett
for Representative In Congress from
the eighth district. My reason for
thla course are that I believe Mr.
Biackburn Is unworthy to occupy tho
position of Representative tn Con
gress. He haa deliberately fooled the
people for yeara in many waya. ' Ho
pietended two years ago to mov to
th district, after having been nom
inated' while a resident of Greensboro
nr.d left the district within ten d-tya
after th election and haa never had
hi residence in It since. He did hot
vote for a single Republican nomine
from President down to constable two
yeara ago. He haa abused anl vilt-
tieu every Republican leader tn tha
8tat. who would not do hi will. Ho
has Introduced and carried Int3 .exe
cution methods In conventions which
are In violation to -every principle of
truth, hon;rty and fairness. . He irti
ever been ready to sacrifice even those
who had' been his, best friends. If ha
could thereby further hla own aelflsh
end. He has run . convention by
force and fraud and It la common
talk that he gets his follower to
gether and sells nomination to the
highest bidder, regardless of party
service Of fitness and strives to destroy
politically deserving men who will not
do hla bidding. He promises anything
to anybody, but not one time iu a
hundred has he fulfilled hla promises.
He i has heretofore got . lots of our
friends and neighbor into Illicit dls
yillng by promising them they ahould
hot be hurt. If they would culy vote
and spend money for him,. and .then
he has deserted them when they wore
prosecuted tor these violation of the
law and many of them have had to
pay- fines, go to prison and pome cf
them to the penitentiary aa a rtnurt of
hla lawless Inducements and false
promise. He haa been In Congress
about four years, has.- never done
anything fir the benefit of th people
and he Introduced a bill to pension
negro slaves, which 'was killed by
both Republlcnna and Democrat and
which, if he had succeeded, - would
