fairs, yesterday. was one of the most
hideous crimes that history has ever
recorded. 1t is an atrocity upon inter
national morals. It is an unspeakaple
wickedness in its effect upon our aoomes-
tic interests. Sizing up the situation as
best one can. at this time, the conviction
seems inevitable that if the abomination
is ratified by Congress, it can only re-
suit in humiliation and disaster to. our

The international crime may be summed

of the independence of Cuba, at a time
when such Independence is plainly

OF course, the act is equivalent to a
declaration Of war. What else can It
mean2 The ~interposition Of friendly
~ofIices;' is a mere i~nsolence, a wanton in
suit added to our act Of highway robbery.
It is just the s9rt Of thing to %aceentuate
the offence of our main declaration in the
minds of the Spaniapds and to goad them
to uncomfortable rage against US.
But, when war comes, We may not
find ourselves in ave so good a situation
as we think we will be in. There can be
little doubt that we can make short work
of Spain. unaided. We would eat her up
at n mopthful, and no doubt this would
be the result of a war. if it were brought
q through any fault of hers.
But the enormity of u crime, as
planned in the Senate resolutions, Is toe
fagrant to be d~isregarded by the great
powers of the earth. It would imperil
the peace Of Ghristendom for q century
to permit such a precedent to be estab-
lished. We do not believe the Europear
powers will tolerate it. We believe they

WASHINGTON. March l2.--Strong efforts
will be made by the house committee on
postofiices and post roads to secure the
passage BY the house OF bill to increase
the compensation of railway mail clerks.
The first bill introduced in this congress
was one by Mr.. Linton OF Michigan To re-
organize this branch OF the service and
the committee has directed that the bill
be reported favorably. BY its provisions
the number OF classes la the service on n
salary basis Is increased from five to ten
and salaries Of clerks range from $50 to
$500.
The proposition to have per cent. OF
the salaries withheld To establish n PEN
sion fund was withdrawn as it was
feared that the opposition to civil pensions
In the house might endanger the whole
bill. Reliable statistics showed that the
mortality among railway mail clerks
through railroad accidents is greater than
that among the troops in the civil war
These clerks are required to pass an ex.
animation at a rating of more than 90
per cent. and are not given vacations al.
though the departmental employees In
Washington have thirty days.
