Our Cuban Policy.
From the Chicago Tribune CRep.).

Remembering how long IL took the Unit
ed states to get rid OF the Seminoles. and
how long 1t took the English to put down
the Maroons in Jamaica, one can see
what a job Spain has on her hands, pro-
Vided the insurgents do not get discour-
aged. Even a small war is expensive and
IL is a question how long the Spanish
finances will stand the present strain and
how long she viii be able to supply troops
to be food for fever. She has managed
in one way and another to make Cuba
pay large part of the expense of previ-
Gus instructions, but the island is so i'm
poverished now that It cannot stand any
additional taxation. From the standpoint
of economy il would be cheaper in the
long run for Spain to let Cuba go. but
national pride forbids that. and the st-ug-
gle viii continue. But while the insur-
gents seem to be stronger than they were
the United States is not justified as yet
in abandoning the policy II has been pur-
suing. which IL 10 do all in its power

this country, from aiding men who have
no status as yet beyond that Of mere in

Never Would Re Missed.
From Columbus (Ga.) Inquirer-Sun DENY

Ex-senator Tom Norwood, who is on
the inside of the free silver movement in
Georgia. Is quoted as saying that if the
free silver element in the Democratic
party, already in league with the popu-
lists and republicans, cannot control the
next national convention and force a free
silver candidate they will bolt, organize
a new convention and with the thiri
party and republicans place a free silver
candidate in the field. Probably Mr.. Nor
wood is correct, but many free silver dem
ocrats do not put silver above party, and
many others would not go into the mov9-
ment from fear of the result. But demo-
Gratis who are willing to sacrifice party
for silver bullion owners, can 20 and well
come, for they won't be missed.

Didn't Amount to Much.
From the Macon Telegraph Dem

Speaker Crisp is quoted as saying in
an interview in New York, on his way
to Europe: There is not much going
of political nature. The farmers ana
cotton growers are busy with their crops
and they are not saying much about poll
tics. And Yet Speaker Crisp only missed
the great Griffin convention by the skin
of his teeth, as it were--a convention
which the free coinage newspapers are
assuring their readers was about the
biggest political event that ever happened
in Georgia Just to think that Speaker
Crisp could say that not much is going
on in Georgia" when that convention was
in session or had just adjourned must be
narrowing to the souls of the editors OF
these papers. Is the convention to be
contemptuously kicked by democratic
But Mr.. Crisp is right The convention
was farce. and didn,t amount TO much

1t is said that the new constitution of
South Carolina, if Senator'S Tillman and
Irby succeed in controlling the conven-
tion, will provide that the school funds
shall be apportioned between the races
in the proportion that each race pays the
taxes. It IS also the alleged purpose Of
the convention to provide for an education

two points being authentic it appears
that the purpose to disqualify the negro

Finally, the sheriff got the man over in q

he ought TO vote with him. lie then gave
him q ticket and took him back TO the box
