A DUTY OF HUMANITY,
From the Washington Post.


1t is now evident that public sentiment
throughout the United States not only
calls for a recognition of the belliger-
ency of the Cubans. but expects, and will,
sooner or later. demand ~ recognition of
their political autonomy and their respon-
sible existence as an organized govern-
ment 1t is no longer possible to delude
us with the impudent and shallow pre-
tense that the armies of Gomez and Ma
Geo are mere bands of malcontents and
law-breakers. We see that Weyler the
new captain general from Spain. has
adopted measures that indicate terror and
desperation rather than a sense of se-
curity and rectitude. We recognize in his
declared policy the brutal vengeance, the
studied cruelty of bafi1ed tyrant-not
the plan of an indulgent and humane
ruler who hopes to restore tranquility
and peace. Even the blind can see that
Cuba is now in a condition that appeals
to the most elementary ideas of mercy
and humanity.
The issue is not now oNe of orga nized
society against organized disorder. 1t Is
an issue of barbarty against enlightened
manhood-a question of slavery or free
dom-a choice between the savagery Of
the middle ages and the civilization of the
nineteenth century. This Weyler is a
monster. He Is an anachronism. He is
as much out of place i'm this generation
as George Washington would have been in
the time of Attila or Theodore To PER-
nit him to carry out his hdeous plans
within sight and hearing of this enliyht-
ened land Is to connive at infamy To
check. and IL need be, to crush hi,,,. is
to perform an act of obvious and solemn
duty. We do not doubt the house will CO.
the sentiment of the country. We SHOULD
shrink from the thought that the r,esi-
dent would interpose an obstacle This
frightful reproach must be arrested. 1t

honorable marriage Is its final guaran'

great for their sons they must admit Il

In all these efforts some things must be

SiIyer's Real Friends.

One hopeful fact in connection with
the currency discussion Is that no Re
publican leader or newspaper. SO far
as our observation goes. has turned en-
trely away from silver. While ii spec
life declaration has been called for
pledging the Republican party To op-
pose the experiment of free and unlim-
tied silver coinage by the United States
alone, il has also been without eXCep-
ton admitted that our government
should exert its utmost influence to Sc
cure the concurrence of the chief Eu
rOpean nations i'm an international
agreement restoring gold and silver to
legal parity ana admitting both met
ais to coinage ON equal terms.
In other words, while the majority OF
Republicans doubt the ability of the
United States To unlift silver indepen-
IDENTIFY, at any such ratio as 151E. or l6
to |. they believe it to be the duty of
the American government to exercise
its good offices for the silver cause in
ternationally, and have no sympathy
whatever with the monometaliic extre-
i!iists WnO WISH to PUT tne WnOIe DUR
den Of the worlds currency on gold
alone. This attitude is not all that the
silver enthusiasts desire. but it is more
than they can expect from the Cleve-
land wing of the Democracy, which is
for the gold standard unreservedly. 1t
means that if Republican administra-
tion is installed in power next March,
the voice of the United States will be
friendly and not hostile to silver, as it
has been during the Cleveland regime.
And why indeed. should Republicans
oppose silver? Does not half our metal
lie wealth lie in western silver mines?
Is it policy for us to try to depreciate
our own possessions? Is it not rather
a part of the protective creed that the
owner of a silver mine should receive
As goodly share of the governmental
protection as the owner of a gold one?
We may not see our way clear to con-
cede at this time all that the silver
men think they ought to have. but we
certainly will not forget that they are
Americans, like ourselves, and there
fore entitled to a friendly hand-shake
and fair show
Something, of course. must be allowed

that they recognized the belligerency of

Cuba in the House.

The Cuban resolutions yesterday
adopted in the house at Washington by
a viva voce vote differ from the resolu-
tons passed on Friday in the senate
solely in that they are more emphatic.
They ''recite," says the United Press
abstract, that in the opinion of con-
gress state of war exists in Cuba, the
parties to which are entitled to bellig-
erent rights; deplore the destruction of
life and property in the island, believe
that solution of the trouble lies in the
establishment of a government by the
choice of the Cuban people, and con-
clude with the declaration that the
United States should protect American
interests there by intervention If neces-
sary."
The senate resolutions made no ref
erence to possible intervention and
mildly preferred the good Offices of the
United States in the attempt to secure
from Spain a recognition of Cuba's in
dependence" The last clause in the
house resolutions brings much nearer
than heretofore the possibility of an
open break with Spain; but it is clear
ly within our lawful and rightful pre-
rogative as a nation, and If the utter
ance of it should lead to war, the con-
tlict could be entered upon by the
American people with clear con-
science and in the gratifying knowledge
that It's motive would receive the I'M
hesitating approval of every Revolu-
tionary sire, from Washington down to
the humblest private in the continental
army.
