It is a pity thatCuba is not now free. De Lome shonld have added a "burn this" postsoript to The letter whiob lost hitu bis position. The harmoDy existing in tbe Youug Man's Repnblioan Postofflce Club is deeply seated. Close corporations are so popular, yon know. The Young Men's Republicau Club was a closely kuit secret Corporation. Tbe primary clubs one in each precinct were limited to 10 members, largely selected. by the self constituted. field secretary, one member of each of these clubs constituted another club, although not so called, and the members of this club are said also to have been selected by the astute field secretary. The executive committee elects the officers of the club and the constitution was so drawn as to make all power and authority revolve around the astute lield secretary, who started out to build up a strona; Tammany organization in the republican party of this county. Are the republicau readers of the Argus in the ring? The terrible disaster in the harbor, of Havana Tuesday niglit when the U.S. battleship Maine was blowntip and 358 of the crew killed or drowned is the absorbing topic of this week. It is not yet known whether the disaster was the result of accident or design, but the Spaniards are under suspicion of being in some way responsible for it. It behooves the government to make a thorough and complete investigation and if Spain is in any way responsible, complete and prompt reparation should be demanded and Cuba seized as a pledge, untü it is forthcoming. If Spain is at all capable. no time for diplomatic shilly shallying should be allowed instant aetion would be demanded. In the meantime pending full details, Capt. Sigbee's advice to suspeud judgment is excellent.
