IT is pleasant to know that the Con-
solidated Traction Company is planning
new accommodations for the public of
Jersey City. Smoking cars are not a
bad idea. But if there are to be special
cars, by all means let some be set aside
for tobacco chewers, gum chewers and
peanut eaters.

MI. John II. Dos Passos' Plea for
Cuba.

Mr.. John R. Dos Passos. a distinguished
New York lawyer of Portuguese extrac-
ton. has prepared an argument I'm
Favor of Recognition Of Cuba by the
United States" It seems to be all found
ed on a succession of fallacies. ingeni-
ousiy put, and so blended with appeals
to the avariee and the passions of Amer
lean citizens as to be not incapable OF
exercising a dangerous effect upon public
opinion.
II Is not very plain Just what Mr.. Dos
Passos means by recognition of Cuba"
The term may apply to the granting OF
belligerent rights or it may mean the
recognition of the independence of the
island as a Republic. Mr.. Dos Passos
seems to be content to take anything
he can get-the more the better.
Now it is not many years since we
had a rebellion in the United States. The
population of a vast region decided. with
practical unanimity, that their rights
and interests demanded their severance

foreign nations granted the South bellig-
erent rights. We have not forgiven them
for 1t yet. A certain element of our peo-
pie speak of Napoleon III. with execra-

nesses of the Island. They hold nc town

coast They have nothing that can be
called an army. They do not even pre-
tend to have a navy. Their government
is a mere word, a name; it has no or
ganization, no civil system, no civilian
subjects. It does not raise a regular
revenue, nor does it administer justice.
The sort of warfare that is being waged
is that of b~ush-rangers or brigands. 1t
consists of derailing trains, burning
plantations, slaughtering outposts, run
ming away when a. Spanish force appears.
Complaint is made Of the cruelty of
Spain's troops. Probably the complaint
is well founded. Spaniards are a cruel
race, and a war for the suppression of
rebels is never gentle. But for wanton
atrocity the spaniards can hardly sur
pass the cubans, whose policy appears
to be to bring starvation and ruin upon
their own people, probably in the interest
of American sugar spectators.
If the Cubans can win. let them do 1t.
1t is mot our place to stand in their way.
But their victory will be a blow to civil
ization. II they cannot win alone, it
would be a crime on our part to help
them.

BEGINNING EARLY.

The extent to which the silver question
is being discussed, and the degree of inter
est exhibited in it in all sections of the
q Mon at the present time, is something
unusual in American politics. Congresses
not in session and there is to be no Ma
tional election this year. More thar
eighteen months must elapse before the
question will be submitted to the people
for decision, and yet It is being every
where debated with almost as much eager
ness as if the campaign were at hand.
1t is not usual for the American people
to be SO keenly interested in political ques-
tons in off years. Generally speaking
when there are no National elections al
hand, and Congress is not in session, poll
tics ceases to engage the main attention Of
the country. Other subjects come to the
front. Trade, industry and improvements
and enterprises of various kinds receive
more consideration than purely political
issues. This to large extent is true OF
this year as of other off years in California
for we are giving great consideration to
projects of State development; but beyond
the Rockies everything tends to politics
as if it were an election year and all poll
tics seems to be centered on the money
question.
Although the discussion of the subject at
the present time is unusually early, it can
not be called premature. The real issue
between bimetallism and monometallism
has been concealed for a long time in a
cloud of sophisms that will have to be dis
persed before the great mass of voters
will be able to get an intelligent compre-
hension of the question to be submitted to
them. The discussion of the matter this
year will clear away the old lodges and
evasions of party platforms in the past,
and reduce the problem to well-defined
issue in time for the Presidential CAM
paign. This will be distinct benefit in
every way, as it will enable the people to
speak clearly on the question and deter
mine once and for all whether we are to
continue the gold standard or return to
bimetallism.
There is one aspect of the controversy
that is distinctly gratifying to every Ameri-
can. The very fact that it has been begun
SO early is convincing proof that both
sides have confidence in the intelligence of
the people and are willing to appeal to it.
In addition to the arguments put forth by
the press every day, a whole host of
pamphlets and small books have been cir
culated throughout the country, and before
the year is over one or more of them will
probably have reached almost every voter
who has permanent hSme and an estab-
Iished postofice address. This, as we have
said, is good sign. 1t attests the politi-
cal intelligence, intellectual curiosity and
activity of the average citizen and gives
assurance that the great issue is going to be
decided by the broad common-sense and
practical judgment of the whole people.

THE WOMEN'S CONVENTION.

The Women's Parliament of Southern
California is formidable name for a
gathering of the clever women of that
region at Santa Barbara, but that need
furnish no reason for encouragement It
will be time enough to review their work
when it is done.
One of the cheap criticisms of women's
efforts to do good is that they find men in
adequate in some important ways, and
hence place themselves in a position of
antagonism to them. Whatever there
may have been in the conduct of a few
individual women to invite contumelious
remarks of this kind, the great masses of
the women who have at heart the good of
humanity understand that in public as
well as in domestic affairs they are the
complement of men, and that the logic of
their social and domestic value carries
them into all the fields of activity where
the value of their labors as COMPLIMENTS
to those of men can be made available.
AS a rule, beginners in great efforts are
tempted to aim too directly at the ends to
be accomplished, forgetting the fact that,
except in the case of few especially bril-
liant individuals, there are no short cuts
to great achievements; and even in these
exceptional cases the hard test of time
often stops the accomplishment of the
value which 1t at first was supposed to

THE POLICY OF JAPAN.

While the reports of the intentions of
Japan toward China and the extent of the
European protests against her policy can
not be relied upon in every particular.
they are sufficiently consistent with one
another and with the known facts regard
ing the Orient to justify the belief that
Japan has no intention to humiliate China,
but is actuated by the colossal ambition of
regenerating the Chinese people and organ
izing an Asiatic alliance powerful enough
to defy Europe.
The only thing which affects the credi-
bility of this theory of the japanese policy
is the vastness of the undertaking. There
is nothing in the conception of the plan
beyond the reach of ordinary statesman
ship. The rulers of Japan need not have
been more sagacious than other men to see
that the encroachments of Russia in
Siberia, France in Cochin China and Eng
land along the Chinese coast have threat
ened an eventual European domination in
the Orient, with the destruction of the in
dependence OF Japan itself.
So long as China remains stagnant, bar
barrie and weak, SO long does Japan stand
without natural ally against possible
European aggression. 1t is clearly to her
interest, therefore, to rouse the Chinese
people to sufficient degree Of civilization
to be able to resist military power in case
of war with some great European nation.
These considerations lead her statesmen to
seek position from which they can exert a
reforming influence on the Chinese Empire.
They also account for the extremely mod
crate terms granted to the conquered
country. 1t is not unlikely, moreover,
that they account for the vigor of the Rus
sian protest. A reformed China taught
how to use the weapons OF civilized war
would be a serious menace to Russian
dominion in Eastern Siberia. 1t would
mean Asia for the Asiatics and would so
redress the balance of power in the world
that international politics in the future
would be altogether different from what
it has been in the past.
