The city Of Fort Worth turns out
a score Of recruits for the Cuban In
surgent army. There are as many
more in this city who would be Of
more use as food for powder down
there than as periodical disturbers
of the peace hereabouts. There is
one benefit to all cities in the
South from this revolt in Cuba
that is not sufficiently considered,
and that is the outlet that it
makes for many of her toughs. 1t
might be in order for the City
Council to offer premium for en-
listments, graded according to the
undesirability Of the volunteers as

Those Arkansas Pass bonus hunt
ers can double their grip on the
situation now, for the passage of
the Harbor Island bill leaves them
nothing but that bonus between
deep water and today. That the
effort of deep water at Arkansas
Pass will be successful when
properly made no one doubts.
Here is just where the situation
differs from that at Galveston.
Galveston is sure Of all the money
necessary, but is not certain Of
deep water under any circum-
stances; Arkansas Pass is certain Of
deep water if the work is done, but
is not certain Of the money with
which to do it.

The indemnity that China wi, |
pay is not absolutely settled, but
the demand is for nearly one
hundred millions sterling. The
actual amount in Uncle Sans
money is $42O,00O,OOO. This is not
so much a matter Of moment to
Japan as the other items OF the
treaty. The independence Of Corea,
her own occupation OF Formosa
and the opening OF the treaty
ports in and around the gulf Of
Pechili are of much more import
ance to Japan than any mere
money indemnity. That she has
had a perfect understanding with
Russia all along and that her in
terests and those Of her great
neighbor on the north are not in
conflict is being at last understood.
Every additional light that is
thrown upon the policy Of Japan
during these months Of hostility
only confirms the growing impress
sion of her political wisdom and
her diplomatic shrewdness. That
she is destined to rule the East is
no longer disputed as an impos-
sibility, but it accepted as a pro.
liability.
