A-Bevelling Proposition.
With the approach of the time for
the re-assembling of Congress, the
snbiect of the relations between the
United States and Spain becomes
acnte again. Except for Mr. Cleve
land's bottling up of the resolutions
of Congress, two years ago, recogniz
ing the belligerent rights of Cuba, it
is probable, as good judges have de
clared, that that now desolated Island
would be tree from the Spanish heel.
Whether the present administration is
any more favorable to Cuba than its
Republicanized predecessor remains
to be seen, but that the strong senti
ment of the people is destined to find
expression as soon as Congress meets
is certain. A press dispatch from
New York of Saturday records the fol
lowing: "Dispatches to the World from
many leading members of the United
States Senate indicate stormy times
over Cuba as soon as the Senate meets,
a week from to-morrow. Nearly a
score of senators are reputed to have
already written resolutions favoring
either intervention by the United
States or immediate recognition of
the Cuban belligerency."
Another New York telegram says:
"Tomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban
delegate in this city, speaking to-day
of the terms of the autonomy decrees,
said: 'These preparations were scorn
ed in advance of their presentation.
They can receive no consideration
now. With Cuba it is as it has been
since the war began, and will be until
it ends independence or death.' "
Concerning the new captain general
sent to carry out the new programme,
the Wilmington Messenger says:
"Blanco is playing false. He bait
ed his hook with a promise of freedom,
but it was only to cover his designs.
He tried to seduce General Rivera and
Colonel Bocallo with a bribe to turn
traitors, but they scorned the offer.
They were again thrown into prison."
All these things are calculated to
hold up the hands of the patriots and
their sympathizers; but, that power
ful efforts in behalf of Spain will be
made in Congress, and that the friends
of that vile despotism, especially the
Cleveland contingent, will hesitate at
nothing, no matter how infamous, in
. order to exhibit their sympathy, is
demonstrated by their course in the
Cisneros matter.
THE CISNEROS CASE.
It will be useful to recall this villain
ous episode in order to put the people
on their guard against efforts of the
same nature, sure to be made, to
pervert their judgment.
On the 2 ist of August, the Atlanta
Constitution contained the following:
editorial:
"Since the outbreak of the Cuban
war the civilized world has been
startled more than once by the perpet
ration of Spanish ontrages on the is
land, bat the history of the brutal
straggle which is now going on in
Caba has failed to disclose anything
more revolting than the savage indig
nities recently heaped upon the nieee
of President Cisneros. As gathered
' from the meager telegraphic accounts
which have come from the island, the
story is briefly this: Some five or six
months ago the the yonng girl's father
was made a prisoner by the Spaniards
and sent to a penal eolony on the Isle
of Pines for safe confinement. Oat of
devotion to her father the courageous
girl insisted on aocompapying him to
the penal eolony, bat hardly had she
been there more than a few days be
fore her rare beauty aroused the brutal
instincts of the Spanish officers on the
island, who made improper advances
toward her. With virtuous indigna
tion she repelled these advances and
violence would perhaps have ensued
had not the colony risen up in protest
gainst the threatened outrage. Seiz
ing upon this disturbance as a pretext
for gratifying his malicious spite, the
governor of the island brought charges
against the young girl, alleging that
sne Dad incited tne eolony to arms.
On this outrageous indictment she was
brought to trial, convicted without a
fair hearing and thrust into one of the
vilest dungeons in the city of Havana,
where she has been compelled to asso
ciate on terms of equality . with the
mcst depraved of her sex. Informa
tion rteeived from Havana within the
past few days states that the young
girl has been, sentenced to twenty
years of exile and imprisonment in
Africa, and that she will shortly be
deported. Naturally, the indignation
of civilized people everywhere is
; aroused over tjbe brutal treatment
which this innocent girl has received
at the bands of the Spanish authorities
in Cuba. Several influential American

Howe, Mrs. Jefferson Davis and others.
nave vemnrea to mteriere in her be
half, but it remains to be seen whether
,or not their efforts will bear fruit.
This last evidence of Spanish brutality is
without precedent or parallel in the an
nals of savagery. v
The New York Journal's correspon
: dent, Marion Kendrick, writing under
: date of Aogust 17, said:
"There seems to be little doubt that
Evangeline Cisneros, the beaatiful
young relative of the President of the
Cuban Republic, will be sent to Ceuta
to die among the degraded criminals
of that most horrible penal settlement
in the world. The military court's
sent net-of twenty years' imprison
ment for the innocent girl , chills the
blood of all but the most furious parti
san of the Spanish military policy.
- Evety tffort has been made to induce
Weyler not to confirm the sentence,
bat the Captain-General seems to be
without pity. He wants to strike at
the Prt-fcident of the Cuban re
public in the person ol Miss Cis-
j nerrs. It is said that the prisoner,
who is a girl of sensational beauty and
great refinement, has at times been
clothed almost in rags, while she was
compelled to associate month after
month with the unspeakably vile wo
men herded in the same prison, net
father is a prisoner in the Isle of Pines.
It is hoped hers that an American pro
test will be sent to tne -aeen xtegeni.
Nothing more frightful can be' imagin
ed than the fate to which this high
born, lovely girl has been condemned.
Her sole offence is that she is a friend
of free Cuba."
The Journal of the 18th of August
contained a long account of interviews
with two Cuban ladies, Scoot, Sanehes
and Senorita Aguilar, who had been
rescued from the prison in which Miss
Cisneros was incarcerated, and who
gave accounts of their experience there.
Said the Journal:
"These two ladies were companions
of the beaatiful young Cuban girl in
the wretched prison (hat is reserved in
Havana in times of peace for its most
degraded women and that is now being
used for the humiliation of Cuban wo
men of refinement who for any reason
whatever may ineur the displeasure of
Weyler. They were attraeted to Miss
Cisneros while there by her youth, in
nocence and refinement and soon learn
ed to love her. They said yesterday
that they oould conceive of no fate
more horrible for her than imprison
ment at Ceuta. exposed as she will be
in Spain's African penal settlement to
treatment against which she will have
absolutely no protection."
' After describing the awful seenes
and surroundings to which Cuban ladies
were subjected in the Havana prison
for harlots. Miss Agailar said :
"These are the conditions to which
Evangeline, yonng, beaatiful and pare,
has been subjeeted to all these months.

could not have merited what she has

A few weeks after the dates above
mentioned, the world was ringing with
praisaof the New York Journal and
brave Karl Decker, who had rescued
the beautiful Cuban girl from her awful
fate. In an editorial recounting this
brilliant feat, the Atlanta Constitution
added :

time of his betrayal of the government
when he entered into the infamous
midnight bond deals to pot additional
burdens on the shoulders of the people,
has bden better known as Carlisle, the
renegade this same Carlisle thinks
that the rescue of Miss Cisneros 'by the
representatives of the Journal takes on
a graver aspect than the majority ot
people will imagine.' He sees inter
national complications ahead, and adds:
'Should Spain sea fit to demand from
this country the return of her prisoner
of war, liberated without authority by
an American citizen, we mast, in honor,
comply with such demand.' This
is not the first time that this same John
G. Carlisle has caused the South to
blush for his being credited to it, bat
in this instance there is consolation in
the taot that bis opinion is repudiated,
north, east and west, as well as by the
south. Possibly Mr. Carlisle has been

States with an ever-increasing degree
cf cariosity and concern. Nature has
been prodigiously bountiful in the
endownment of these islands, and they
have at times contributed a great deal
to the wealth of Enope. Bat their in
dustrial development has been slight
and superficial, and they have been
subject to the sharpest reactions. At
present their fortunes are at an ex
tremely low ebb. Even if Cuba should
be kept by Spain, there is no prospect
that it will yield farther streams of
ealth to Spanish coffers. Its tobacco
and some other eroDS mav become
measurably profitable again in the
early future; bat the great sugar crop,
once the source of immense wealth, is
probably a thing of the past at least
as a revenue-producing factor. Amer
ican capital and ingenuity might do
something for Cuba, in spite ot the
permanent victory that beet sugar
seems to have won over cane sugar; but
Spain can never bring back smiling
prosperity to the Gem of the Antilles.

All this, however, was unintentional
The policy ot those who were responsi

was to kick down the ladder by which
they rose, and it was not tbsir fault
that the party was immeasurably
stronger in defeat in 1896 than it was
when Mr. Cleveland was elected four
years before At the very beginning
of his second term Mr. Cleveland un
folded his plans to divide and dismem

There is not an important pledge of
the platform that he did not repudiate.
It was supposed that he would be
eager to carry out the tariff reform

announced that the declarations of a
platform bore no relations to the prac
tical workings of an administration.
It was believed that he woald insist oa
a tariff for revenue only. Bat the
tariff that he did insist 00 was for a
deficit, and deliberately prepared to
produce that result, and tacked to the

leaders of the party refused to follow
him, and his course brought them to
the necessity ot reaffimiog democratic
principles with an emphasis that bad
no parallel in forty years; and so it
happened that the party which Mr.
Cleveland thoaght he bad destroyed
was stronger in the defeat of 1898 than
it was in the Cleveland victory ot 1892.
It was as if the hand of providence had
been interposed to preserve the party
of the people, and with it their liberties

Nevertheless, we want no mora ex

Two Important Truths.
LonUbarg Time.
The action of the $Mark Hanna ad
ministration in carrying out the cor
rupt and infamous deal of its predeces
sor, for the steal of the Union Pacific
railroad, against the universal protest
of the whole country, is the crowning
evidence that the government as at
present administered is deaf to every
instinct of right and justice, and is
under the absolute control of the
enemies of the people.
The Times has no harsh criticisms
for the mass of voters who were mis
led by the leaders and pie-hunters of
the "confusionists," and it will be
glad to see them join with their former
friend, the Democratic party, to re
deem old North Carolina and restore
its government in the hands of men
who have the interests of our rrnr1
old State at heart, The State ia al
most bankrupt already and if the
crowd of "pie-hunters" now in power
allowed to remain in charge, or if we
have another Legislature like the last
two, we had just as well "hang up
the fiddle and the bow."
Editor Henry Watterson Is inclined
to take offense at some remarks made
by the Washington Post with respect
to the lndierous exhibition made by the
billbynum "nationals" since the organ
ization of that illustrious remnant ot
CleveJandism.
We advise Editor Watterson not to
take the Post too seriously. That paper
is strictly independent, and a strictly
independent paper must, ia the nature
of things, strike a humorous note oe
eassionaily. For our part, we did not
gloat over the Post's attack at the bill
bynum party because we knew that it
was aprelade to a eooater-attaek on
the democratic party sooner or later.
The truth is, strictly independent
paper, it it doee not become an innocu
ous mugwump, is bound to do some
thing every day in the name of inde
pendence. Thus an independent edi
tor can never be idle; he can sever take
a day off; be eannot attend a barbecue
or a football game; he eannot go to the
eircus. It is do light position to bold.
He must earn his bread by the sweat
ot his brow. If he pays a tribute to a
party today, he must either
abuse it tomorrow or praise the op
position. There is no middle ground
for an independent editor. He must
either sympathise with all parties, or
he must abuse them all, and ia order
to do this to perfection, he mhat get
np early in the morning and go to bed
very late at night.
We have seen in one column of the
Poet a tribute to Mr. Bryan, and, in
we adjoining comma, aa attack on
him. We have seen ia its columns
arguments for the single gold standard,
for the single silver standard and for
bimetallism, all of them vigorously and
earnestly delivered.
Such a paper is a treasure to a man
who likes to get all sides of a question
in the same-bundle.

get the Southern democrats to pledge
themselves to vote for a bill embodv-

banking laws. It Is a shrewd game,
and the arguments arc plausible when
used to men who know bow their coo-
stitnents are at times laconvealenced
by the lack of sufficient currency to
meet their needs,- and It is not sur
prising that some Democratic sap
