a KIND WORD FOR THE TEXAS.

The New York Sun IS the only Northern
paper that We have seen which has been
far enough to make favorable editorial
comment on the statement Of Secretary
Herbert with reference to the battleshiD
Texas. The Sun says.
Secretary Herbert has done service
TO the country and justice to a valuable
war vessel in his statement regarding the
Texas.
This pioneer OF our batteships has had
a succession OF mishaps. not one Of them
serious and al easily remedled which
have been so exaggerated In popular re-
port as 10 eclipse her conspicuous merits,
and 10 give an entirely wrong impression
Of her character as a fighting ship.
We incline to trace this msconception
back TO a bitter controversy which arose
between our naval experts in regard 10 her
original plans, and 50 attracted public
attention as TO make II notural that any
defects she might afterward develop
should be magnihed.
The Sun gives only one reason.
The other and the principal for the
taunts that have been flung at her from
certain sources is that she was built in
a Southern yard.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF CUBA.

The action of the Senate Committee on
rvriday In resolving that this government
lshould acknowledge the independence OF
Cuba created great excitement on the
Htock exchange and wrought havoc among
she bulls" while the furore lasted. The
excitement has already abated and the
sober second thought OF people who had
visions OF Spanish men-of-war lombard
tng New York is reasserting itself.
II is now thought that the House Of
Representatives will move more deliber-
ately than the Senate. The popular body
will be the conservative force.
1t must be plain that the sentiment OF
the people OF the United States is prac-
ideally unanimous for the freedom and
independence OF Cuba. But so they are
Tor the protection OF the lives OF the
/ Armenians. The question IS, how best
can this desirable end lie accomplished
We feel that Mr.. Cleveland's expert
,ence In the Venezuelan business gives
Qim peculiar fitness for managing this
frouble with Spain. lie has demonstrate
ed that he can be az once daring and
cautious. and with the aid OF Olney. work
out unexpected good results We believe
that Cleveland and olney can do better
sor Cuba with due regard to the interests
Of this country. If Congress lets them
alone. than will be possible II exciting
and sensational resolutions are passed.
The Confederate States were an estab-
3ished Government for ,,oare q oo,.
Rnd perfect government, with victorious
armies In the field and triumphant ships
on the sea and yet no European gov
eminent would acknowledge cur in
dependence.
The United States insisted. we were
mot entitled 10 recognition and the
Europeans conceded their demand. IL
Viii not fail TO be pointed out that Cuba
In every essential. which is required OF
an orgarized government in no respect
could compare with the Confederate
States. The United States will be asked
TO explain the glaring Inconsistency.
We want Cuba free. We lament her
cad fate, but we must remember that they
are all Spaniards together and we cannot
undo the effect OF ages OF wrong by n
mere resolution.
II we mean to DO anything. we must
be prepared to assume serious response
billtles.
We have no idea there will be any war.
Ono .s not justified on our part and IL IL
was. would not be necessary. Spain
would settle without fight Let the
President take care OF this case.

And this in conclusion: "Notwithstand-

ever. declined all further public business.
and. in resigning his station, has con-
cluded a life of honor and glory"
That was great tribute to be sure.
taking all things into consideration and
the Times paid General Washington the
additional compliment of printing in the
same issue two columns Of his farewell
address. with the promise that ,he rest
should appear next day.
1t is a significant fact that while Wash
ington's address gets two columns the
proceedings of Parliament get few
inches Of space, with a dozen lines for
My Lords and only half as many for
the House of Commons. And yet our
American congressman think that they
do not get as much attention as they de-
serve from the newspapers of to-day.
The price of the London Times was at
