Whatever the facts of the situation
are, good luck to the Cuban patriots.
They have a Just cause and are making
game fight, Spain has provoked
them to u desperate effort to throw of
her domination. The history Of the Is
land is u record OF mIsgovernment that
would be a disgrace to Turkey
Spain has regarded Cuba merely as
revenue producing territory, She has
never shown by any act OF hers that she
admits that the Cubans have any
rights. Their appeals for redress have
been treated with contempt or with that
doublo-dealng which Is trait OF Span
ish character.
In these days those who rule must
rule with justice, or they cannot rule n
spirited people except with the sword.
The cubans do not lack spirit They do
lack arms. The machete, skIlfully as
they WELD II, Is not a magazine rifle,
Yet In the face OF all obstacles, some
of them set rS unnecessarily by our

There is no longer room to doubt that
the resignation OF Mr.. Mayer as prcsi-
dent OF the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad
company was brought about by the
New York interest which recently went
into the directory and which represents
New York and foreign holdings OF the
stock.
II was not only the stock interest thus
represented that made the new directors
strong. There is need OF more money,
and those directors represent the men
through whom the money must come.
The management. 1t is said, has not
been satisfactory to the men now In
control. Among other things dividends
have been paid without being earned,
and It is hard to tell just what the COM
pany's condition Is.
In New York It Ia believed that re-
ceiver will be asked for by those largely
interested so that tho exact condition
may be aseertained and all interests
protected while the necessary steps are
being taken to put this great property
in FIRST rate financial condition.
There Is so much talk among railroad
men and men who command the money
bags that It would not be surprising II
something OF decided interest In connec-
ton with the road were to happen soon.
In consequence of what has already
happened II is predicted that next year
no dividend will be paid even on prefer
red stock.

APsassnh settlement With Honor,

For little more than a week the peo-
pie Of the two great English speaking
nations have been discussing the proba-
bllity of war. They have been compar-
ing strength and dIscounting the out
come. The more they have thought on
the subject the less they want war II
Is unnecessary to say that the indlspo-
sltion to fight is not a sign OF cowardice,
nor will the world so conclude, The
history OF the two countries would re-
flute such charge,
One reason for not wanting war Is
that each country knows that the other
Is brave enough to fight TO the last The
meaning OF this is something too horri-
bic to contemplate, The conflict would
be such one as the world has not seen,
The horror OF It is not the chief reason
why the two countries do not wish TO
fight. A better reason is that there is a
better way to settle most international
questions.
The controversy between Great Bril-
tain and the United States is OF the
kind that should always be submitted
to arbitration. The question Of boun-
dairy line is not a matter of high priuci-
plo; 1t is a question OF fact. When you
know where the true boundary line is,
you have the honest settlement of the
question.
To this the sober sense OF both coun-
tries hopes that the present controversy
may come. a result as credltable to both
countries as 1t would be wholesome in
its example to the world.

II is well understood that the Wilson
tarlff has crippled the industries OF the
country. and II is perfectly natural that
those industries shall want relief at the
earliest possible moment
It is useless to ask relief now except
such small measure OF relIetas may be
incidental to a tariff devised on the sim
plest lines to AFFORD relief to the treas
ury, The Republicans in Congress
have no thought OF opening up the
whole question and going into n gem
ernl scheme of tariff revision, They
know that the Democratic President
would knock such bill in the head In
short order
The country will have to put up with
the tarifI 1t has until 1t puts in full
power once more the party of protec-
ton. Then II will get protection.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: In ease OF I'M

national guard OF the Atlantic states
could be concentrated In Il week at
threatened points on the coast, and
those OF the middle states on the great
hikes. The posts Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic (muny OF which are
nrmed) would furnish volunteers for
temporary service In the northern and
eastern states, aud the ex-confederates
would do the same In the south, These
men would be too old for long marches
or arduous campaigning. but fighting
would be as easy to them as rolling OF
n log. These fellows that talk about
this country not being prepared for war
forget the story OF thirty years ago.
