LET Us BE CONSISTENT.

Christian Europe continues to play the
warming" joke on the Sublime Porte.
The Armenian warning" joke having be-
come stale the powers are now warn
ing" the Turkish monarch that they do
Cretans, but the Porte sees the point of
the joke and keeps right on killing. 1t is
amazing how nations who call themselves
high grade Christians could permit the
Turkish Government to defy them from
year to year and from generation to gen.
Grafton. When pressed for an answer why
Armenians are butch cred by the thou
sands he says "the Armenians are the
cause of it ALL" and Europe smiles and
leaves him to continue his horrible work.
He is now giving the same reasons for the
slaughter of Cretans.
1t does seem thai the world is civilized
enough TO put a stop to Turkeys outrage
Gus treatment of subjects who deny the
Mohammedan faith. But, of course, to
dismember the empire would mean war
among the nations of Europe for the
pieces, and that is to be avoided as long as
possible. even if tens of thousands Of
Christians are murdered in cold blood
meanwhile. However, perhaps we had
better clear our own skirts of guilt before
fling any charges against the Christian
nations of Europe with sitting compla-
Gently while the Porte is wading in human
blood. 1t is doubtful if the Porte ever
committed more horrible atrocities than
the Spanish Government is allowing to be
committed In Cuba, and, although we are
bou i'd by every principle of our Govern
ment to give the Cubans protection against
Weyler's bloodthirsty method OF subju-
eating a people who are honestly striving
to establish a republic fashioned like
our own, we do not do it. Perhaps it
would be more consistent in us to remove
the mote from our own eyes before we
make too much fuss over the Porte's con-
duct,

ENGLAND AND OUR PLATFORM

1t is too bad that England does not like
the tariff, the Monroe doctrine and the
foreign policy planks of the St. Louis
platform. But, then, England was not
consulted. Great Britain's approval was
not deemed at all necessary. The platform
in detail and as a whole is altogether a
declaration of American principles for
Americans. Naturally England would not
like the tariff plank. The people OF
America are obliged to have manufactured
goods and wares of various kinds. Their
consumption OF such articles is enormously
great. We used to manufacture them here
at home, but with March, 1898, came a
new order of things. Our factories and
mills were closed and our industrial op-
eratives were sent into idleness, and the
pleasure OF supplying our needs was COM
mitted to England. That is one of the
reasons why the so-called "mother coun-
try'' is so very fond of Grover Cleveland
But the Republican party is of the
opinion that, having all needed raw mate
rial at hand, we should give our skilled
and unskilled workingmen a chance to
live well and lay up something for rainy
day by starting up our own manufactur-
ing esta blishments so that our people may
supply their wants with homespun fabrics
and other necessary industrial products.
AS we do not need two sets of mills and
factories to satisfy the requirements OF our
people, the idea OF the tariff plank of the
st. Louis platform is to give our own
establishm ents the preference. That is
why England does not like that particular
plank.
But there is another reason why England
is not pleased with that plank. Under
Cleveland's alleged tariff act the country
is obliged to sell the best and safest Gov
eminent bonds in the world from time to
time, and British investors do not like to
have the flow of them stopped. Roths-
child Is particularly DESTROYS that the regu-
larity of their coming should not be inter
fered with, especially rs the Treasury
Department kindly lets him take them in
at $104 when their market value is $119.
The st. Louis tariff plank, when in opera
ton, will furnish revenue enough W ithout
selling bonds
Then there are those Monroe doctrine
and foreign policy planks. They will
throw so much dirt in Great Britain s
eyes that the old bully will not be able to
see Venezuela at all, much less seeing IN
Justly marked territory boundary lines.
So, altogether, England has no cause for
rejoicing, especially as the st. Louis plat
form is sure to be the policy of the Gov
eminent after next March.

DOWN IN CUBA.

It appears that Consul General Lee has
dispatched very important communica-
ton to the State Department concerning
affairs in Cuba, and that by the same mes
senger he sent a review OF the situation to
the President for his own information. 1t
was not expected that General Lee would
be able to give very full report much
before August, but he plunged into the work
with so much Vigor, in such search
ing kind of way, that Wey!er became un-
bearably arrogant, which expedited rather
than retarded the Consul-Generaps inves-
LEGATIONS.
1t is said, and there is reason to believe
it true, that Weyler undertook to repri-
mand General Lee for making too pointed
inquiries concerning the condition of GER
tain Americans confined in Cuban prisons
and also for accepting invitations to dine
with people who are known to have very
little respect for the Captain General and
less sympathy with the cause in which he
is engaged. Butcher Weyler made great
mistake right then and there. General
Lee is not in Cuba merely to inspect bills
of ladlng and talk for American merchan-
disc, and such arrogance as Weyler' S
would be likely to make him more active
in getting what he went after than he
otherwise would be.
In addition to being Consul-General,
General Lee is special commissioner OF
the President, clothed with unusual
diplomatic authority. In fact he is there
to gather such information and evidence
as he may want to decide. whether or not
the Cupans are entitled to belligerent
rights, and TO have his decision backed up
by the army and navy of the United
States IL need be. All this Weyler knew
long ago, and when he undertook to say
whom General Lee should and should not
dine with, and to what extent he would be
permitted to make inquiry concerning inn
prisoned American citizens the Captain
General insulted the stars and stripes.
1t is surmised that our relations with
Spain have reached the point where the
Madrid Government will have to accept
the friendly offices OF tie United States in
the settlement of the Cuban troubles or
listen to the reading or a proclamation OF
the President of the United States how
this Government has done more than
granted belligerent rights to the Cuban
insurgents, it has recognized the Cuban
republic as a free and independent nation.
If Spain does not like it she can press the
button and the United States will do the
rest
