MR.. oLNEY's BEGINNING.

The new broom sweeps exceedingly clean,
and Mr. 0lney signalizes his assumption
OF the State Department portfolio by Sc
against Cuban filibusters.
Cuba has population which pay taxes,
that is, other than the semi-barbarous
blacks in the interior, of Eot more than
zee GOO. Yet Spain eXhausts them with
taxes aggregating S25, 900 900 a year.
Twelve millions OF dollars annually are
exacted to pay Spain for the expense of
putting down the last rebellion. Six mil
lions more are demanded each year to
support the 2o,CC0 soldiers which Spain
maintains at the military posts of tie isl
and to keep the Inhabitants from again
breaking loose in rebellion. This whole
sum of So 3, 600 ,000 is taken practi-
cally from a population of /. .200.0 Geo, and
comes 10 more than $50 per capita.
Our own country is told each fan from
every stump that it is oyer-taXed. And
the fact exists that the asser ion is
entirely true We are over-taxed. And
yet with 10000 eco of people our whole
yearly eAIjthsc - q tIiIlt ONCt IStpfOOO,-
O0O, or in the neighborhood Of $3.50 per
capita.
The $50 which the American pays
yearly TO maintain his government makes
sharp contrast with the $50 exacted from
the Impoverished Cuban by Spain.
To add TO the question Of taxes it should
be remembered that the first provision es~
Spanish u;e in Cuba is that no native
Cuban shall hold office, no matter how
puny or inferior the Office may be. The
attitude of Spain in CElc is lie attitude
OF the vampire. the leech, the bloodsucker.
1t maintains itself by the strong hand, and
its methods are those Of cruelty aud
oppression
Under such circumstances, when the
country is fun Of Cuban sympathizers, Mr..
Oiney VIII find ii impossible to entirely
prevent fIlibusters from giving aid TO
tie Cuban insurgents. Nor viii q proc
lamation in the least stay the
sentiment n favor of Cuban lib
er1y. 1t is this sentiment that gave
this country her fun enjoyment of free
dom, and whether or not it is in accord
with the policy Of the administration, it
win make Itself felt in the interests Of any
struggling people.

FOR PTRLIC SAFETY.

The attempt OF some Of our street car
companies to evade the fender law is not
credit able either to their integrity or
their desire to protect the public. More
than four months have elapsed since the
order of the Commissioners, and no effort
has been made on the part of at least
one of the companies TO comply with the
law, while others have taken their own
sweet time to perform what should have
been wiling duty.
While it is q fact that comparatively
few are injured by street car accidents in
this city, il is due the public that every pre-
caution should be taken to protect life
and limb. Tenders have proved themselves
g necessity as a safeguard, and since the
order OF the Commissioners every acci-
dent without them should be made thecause
OF a successful and expensive damage suit
to the responsible company. The street
car companies would do well to try to
gain favor with the public by manfesting
a desire to protect their patrons, instead
OF showing such a disregard for the people
on Whom they depend for support.
The Commissioners were justified in
instituting suits TO enforce the law by apply
ing its penalty, and it is to be hoped that
the courts viii also uphold the rights
Of the public.

army, although small, is considered supe-
rior in Point of endurance aud excellence
in all essentials that make good soldiers,
ana nowhere can be found such perfection
in military movements as have rendered
our CRACK citizen soldier companies famous
throughout the country. AS these organiza
iions truly represent the American na-
ton, il is OF them we are justly proud.
The District Guard is fair specimen OF
American citizen soldiery. 1t comes from
every degree and condition of sociallife, and
nsmembership comprises esthemostcommen-
dable element OF our country's young patri-
ots. They are soldiers from love of military
display and in war would be heroes from
love of country's cause. To them the
honor OF u nation could be safely intrusted,
and with such as them, OF which there are
many millions, the entire world could be
resisted were such defense necessary.
While we love peace and rejoice III being
Ucmmercial people We are also patriotic
enough TO indulge in exultation on our repu-
tation as soldiers.

The CaEcrness with " oh labor news is

OF seutll4gu when The Times entered the
field OF Journalism il was almost impos-
s.ble fer q labor union TO have news item

make interesting reading compared to the
fulseme cUsh PUBLISHED nowadays
For the good OF the public it is to be re-
GREETED that this change Of sentiment does
not extend throughout the country. En-
rIgyere are competent for Obvious reasons
TO take care OF themselves. but since
newspapers were Published they have been
made objects Of journalistic flattery and
ad8lati8n In most controversies between
employer and employed the cause of the
employer has sbeentakengpandw workingmen
have been assailed with ali the yirility
facile pens could command. Public senti-
meuj was aroused in favor of employers,
and IL sheer desperation at seeing their
rights traInpled upon without hope of
rescue. working people have sometimes
resored 10 deeds OF violence Had they
been accorded Journalistic justice at the
outset the result might have been different,
for public sentiment usually controls the
settlemeEt Of labor troubles, aud except
when influenced TO the contrary by mis-
representation public sentiment invariably
sympatflzes with the oppressed.
IL may nearly always be set down as a
fact that working people are right at the
beginning OF labor differences Almost
Invariably the employers are the aggres-
sors. and it is to Tesist a reduction Of
wages or a change Of hours Of employment
that labor troubles arise At these times,
If the press would be fair, and act without
prejudice. many controversies could be
settled by compromise, but when employ
ers feel assured that newspapers will sup
port them there is far less prospect Of d
reasonable adjustment.
Perhaps this journalistic departure in
the nations capital in favor of crga nized
labor may influence other newspapers to
take up the cause Of working people. AT
least let US hope so.
