Annexation of Cuba

The question Of the annexation Of Cuba
has been revived by the negotiations which
Secretary Blaine has begun with the Span
ish government for a reciprocity treaty. Il
seems to be understood that Spain is not in
clined 70 grant such fsvors as Secretary
Blaine would like for permitting sugar to
enter this country free of duty. Indeed, it
is doubtful II she is fres TO grant a great
deal. She has commercial treaties with
about every European country, aud in these
treaties there is what is known as the
favored nation clause-that is, she cannot
grant to any nation a privilege which she
does not permit to those nations with which
she has the treaties.
1t is a matter OF great Importance TO
Spain that sugar should be admitted to this
country on the same terms that sugar from
Brazil or Mexico is admitted. If the sugar
of Brazil and Mexico were admitted free Of
duty, and heavy duty put upon that from
Cuba it would be difficult if not impossible,
for Cuba to find market for her sugar.
There would be trouble in Cuba at oncs. If
the sugar industry Of the island were jeop-
ardized the Cubans would be face to face
Unless Spain and this county reach some
kind Of a reciprocal agreement Cuban sugar
will not be admitted free Of duty after jan
l next And suppose Spain cannot open
her ports to the products of our fields and
factories TO the extent Secretary Blaine
thinks she ought for the privilege of hav-
ing her sugar admitted free. what will be
the result' Will not the Cubans begin to
talk about Independence or annexations
And will not Spain have to listen to such
talk and to take steps to meet the condition
Of affairs which will then existl
1t is barely possible that a reciprocal
agreement can be made between this coun-
try and Spain that will not be Objectionable
to the countries which have commercial
treaties with Spain, but if Secretary Blaine
seeks enduring fame by bringing about the
annexation Of Cuba he can easily make it
impossible for such an agreement to be
reached. A few weeks, probably, will make
it clear whether or not there is anything in
the annexation talk.

The supreme Court RELIEF Bill.

The two bills for the relief of the United
States supreme court are now in commit
tee of conference, and there is no doubt that
one of them will be reported favorably.
The one passed by the House provides for
two additional judges in each of the nine
judicial circuits. The Senate bill provides
for one additional circuit judge in each of
| the judicial circuits, aud creates an inter-
mediate court OF appeals. The probabilities
are that tho Senate bill will be agreed upon
by the conference committee.
There Is no doubt that the supreme court
ought to be relieved in some manner of a
part Of the business which is now thrust
upon it. There are thousands of cases upon
the docket, some Of which will not be
reached in less than four or five years
Such long delay amounts almost to a de-
NAL of justice.
The democrats are opposed to both bills,
because they regard them as defective in
important particulars, and also because it is
unjust that party which was recently SO
overwhelmingly defeated should have the
appointment of 30 many judges who hold
their places for life or during good be-
havior. 1t would be only fair that the new
| judgeships should be divided between the
two great parties. Assuming that the
| Senate bill will become a law the
| democrats should be given four Of
the nine circuit judgeships and
three of the five court of appeals judge
ships. Indeed, in view of the fact that the
democrats are now largely in the majority,
as shown by the last congressional election,
it would be no more than right that a ma
jority Of the circuit judges, as well as the
judges of the court of appeals, should be
democrats. 1t is hardly probable, however,
that the republicans eau be induced to show
any such liberality as that, or. in fact, any
| liberalLtY.

WatchfuI politicians accuse Gov. Hill of
merely holding en- to the New York SEM
atorship until he can control enough votes
to elect flgurehead of his own selection
when he is ready to announce his purpose
of declining TO qualify, so that he may enter
the presidential race not only unfettered,
but with the aid and comfort Of his dummy
toward securing solid delegation from his
own state. Meanwhile he also holds onto
the governorship in order to still furthe r
strengthen his position. In that scheme the
crafty governor is likely to meet with dis
appointment With no other aid than
good record and the loyal support of the
friends of good government Cleveland will
easily distance the executive aspirant in the
great race of 1892 Still Mr.. Hill may not
be ''guilty as charged"

Hon. MICHAEL DORIAN, the

Mr.. Doran said:
Castle, you are going down to con-
gress. Now, if the Democratic ma
jority will pass the appropriation bills
and go home in a week, next year we
will elect the president, the house, and
carry enough legislatures to get the
senate; but there will be a lot of id
fools down there who will want to make
a Democratic policy.
