The Presidents Views on Cuban
Matters.

WARRINGTON, NOV. 17.-The President
to-day, in conversation relative TO Cuban
matters, said that this government had
thus far acted on such facts as had reach.
ed 1t, and was now engaged In collecting
from all available sources further inlor-
nation concerning the capture OF the
Virginius, and the particulars attending
the revolving executions which followed
that event. 1t was desirable that all the
information should be OF such charac'
ter as would leave no doubt whatever as
TO lie reliability. The propriety Of this
course was too evident 10 require expla-
nation. the government being careful In
what 1t Is now doing and what 1t may do
hereafter, to act upon facts and not
upon assumption aud unconfrmed re-
ports. It was essential that we should
be prepared TO maintain our position.
The President said he had changed none
OF the views hitherto expressed by him
concerning the events in Cuba, but
had more than ever been confirm.
cd In them By the recent oc
curren cea. He shared with The public
their denunciation OF the capture on the
high seas OF vessels sailing with regular
clearance under the UaitGd States flag,
and the startling events which 80 quickly
followed. Spain Fever having considered
the Island Of Cuba in setate Of war, and
there being no proclamation by the United
States according belligerent rights to in
surgents, the Vlrginius, iiregularly cleared
for the Island 0i Cuba, had q right to
enter Havana or any other port OF Span.
ish possessions. This Government did
not recognize any right on the part OF
Spain, in the present state Of affairs, to
interfere in any manner with our merchant
ships on the seas, except In the usual
right in her own ports, and within one
marine league Of the coast of any OF her
dominions, and Of this fact she Is aware.
As o matter OF course 1t is the determine.
ton Of this Government to protect her
citizens in oil their rights, and TO compel
respect to the flag. Thenaval preparations
were with this view, not to initiate war
by the President, that power being
vested in Congress, but to be prepared for
all possible contingencies, and upon the
meeting OF Congress all the facts in pos
session Of the Executive Department rela.
tive to Cuban affairs, would be laid
before that body, with such recommenda-
tions as the occasion might demand. To.
morrow he said he would commence prep.
arations for bis message, but would delay
that part relative to Cuban affairs TILL
within a.day or two Of the meeting OF Con.
gress, desiring first To obtain all informa-
ton upon the subject. During the, briel
conversation the President said he should
in his message again recommend legisla.
ton on Utah affairs, in order to relieve
judicial matters in that territory from the
present embarrassment. Ee would In
calling attention to the financial subject,
submit q plan not yet fully matured, rem

venting It, iipossible, from being used as
recently for gambling purposes.

Would the Issue OF More Green backs
and Convertible Bonds Help Us.

@@Ssf
This Is question that The Nation, pub
lished in New York, discusses with its
usual ca!mness and intelligence. We
quote from Its remarks as follows:
The proposed issue would be ihflstlon
pure and simple, and would, In spite Of
the convertibility into bonds, have all the
consequences Of imitation. The bonds
would, In fact, serve no other purposes
than that Of supplying the country banks
with safe deposit for their unemployed
balances during the hot weather,
and might thus, In some slight
degree, restrain speculation in Wall
street. 1t would do nothing what.
ever to prevent or mitigate. the fall
and winter stringency, and for the simple
reason, which all intlationists overlook,
that all Issues OF irredeemable paper are
at once absorbed, irretrievably, by the
consequent rise 10 prices, and that once
they have entered into prices there Is no
means OF extracting them but forcible
contraction. Suppose we have now
$N0, 900, 900 greenbacks afoat, and we
add to this $50, ,000,0 900 more. The new
issue OF once raises prices, and thus rem
ders $3.50, 100000 as necessary to the
discharge Of the ordinary business Of
the country as the $400, ,006.0 900 were pre-.
viously. In other words, every man needs
"a so TO produce the result which he had
previously produced with 81; and, this
process once accomplished, the notion
that your $50, 100000 will ever 60 back
into bonds Is a chimers, and one Of a
very dangerous sort, which has been
hundred times exposed, and which, nev.
erthelesS, Is continually reproduced as the
basis Of new schemes Of initiation. $5,000,.
900 or 100000 might possibly every
summer, for q year or two, go back to
Washington In the dull season, but the
quantity would diminish. The pressure Of
trade on the currency limits would speedi.
ly be az great 40 ever, and the demand for
further expansion-that Is, for more green
backs and more bonds-would be as loud
In four or five years as 1t is now, and
would be supported by the same argu-
ments. The phenomena OF the financial
situation would be the same as now; the
fever Of speculation, excited by the pros
pect Of indefinite, never.ending initiation,
would be higher than 1t has ever been,
and In o very short time we should have
to seek reliei in general "wiping out"
or, in other words, National bankruptcy.

The Great Four Mile Race In Cali.

In the matter Of running two.year.oldS,
there is no reason why the Pacific States
should not raise horses unequalled for
their staying qualities.
Had Saturdays race been run under
American Jockey Club rules, Thad.
Stevens would have been ruled out at the
end Of the second heat for not having won
one heat In two. But his winning the
third and fourth heats shows that he has
unequalled bottom, coupled with great
strength, which, NOT having been abused
when he was youngster, has now made
him the best long. distance horse In
America, II not In the world.

CIHNN AIoktboos'S
Learningf
The s,eubenvllle NetrS says that 1t Is
spd also says that steubenville is tn
Olace where It ought to be located. w
shall not deny the latter statement W
al know that steubenville is good plac
for literary institution. The Femal
seminary at that place is one widel!
rpowp for !ts high character. But tn
pOlu, is as to whether this part oi tn
country needs such an institution as I'M
NtrS speaks Of.
In tho first place, 1t may be stated tha'
multiplicity of the higher order oi edu'
ca,ionsl establishments Is a positive detri
ucnt to the prosperity Of each one oil them
And generally speaking, an institution o
this ssort that is not prosperous is not worth
pa,ronizing. Whenever college runs
very low In funds II Is apt to run low IN
tho standard Of education. The reason Is
very obvious. Money comes from patron
ace and money Is needed to secure first
class teachers and the necessary equip
meu,s belonging to each department in a
collegiate education. 1t takes great
deal Of money to run first class institu-
lion, 1t lsct such an institution cannot
exist without It.
This being true, the point is can we Of
lord 10 multiply Colleges and seminaries
in any one part Of the country. We have
now in this region several Colleges, at
least hall a dozen, and why should we add
10 them. There Is College at Alliance,
Ohio, another at Hudson, another at Gam
bier, one at Marietta, one at Bethany, in
this Slste, and another at Washington,
PA, and a University at Morgantown. No
Oueof these Institutions has all the patron
age It would Ike to have, or the patron
age i! could adequately accommodate.
Therefore no one of them can boast Of q
very great amount Of prestige in the way
Of success. A good education con DO oo'
tanned at any Of them. for after all educa'
ton Is more q matter with the student
than with q college. But none OF them
All the public eye in comparison with
Harvard or Yale. And il VIC had halt
dozen more added 10 them We would be
still more apt to sink than rise In
the scale Of prestige. Why, therefore
should we add even ono more? Why
not rather elevate those we have
alil,le higher II possible. And the way
to elevate them Is TO increase their means
Of usefulness by not wasting our patron
age on too many Of them. Every city tho
SIZE of steubenville can not expect to have
a college. The excellent schools Of that
city, and OF fallcities and towns in the coun.
try ofany size, afford facilities lor educa-
ton up TO the point Of entering college,
and those who want college education
have pick and choice sufficient to satisfy
almost any sort Of preference. Why then
not wait on the growth Of the institutions
we already have before ushering newer
and cruder ones into existence.
