upon the character and popularity of the

poll from 80, 900 to 10000 votes in Kentucky.

The emphatically expressed determi-

in his tariff crankism and Reed too near
the rising sun. Allison is of the

SPECIMEN SENATORIAL IDIoCY

That fool resolution of the United
States senate calling on Spain to
recognize the Cuban insurgents as
belligerents has given the diplomats
Of Spain q chance to guy this country.
According to New York World
special, the Spanish government is
about to respond by extending the
glad hand with q hearty laugh aside.
The Spanish minister ut Washington
is directedA.o'i inform, in a most courte-
ous and. amicable way, the government
Of the United States that the resolu-
tion asks Spain to do what Genera!
Camposl practically did while in COM
mand of Cuba. The Spanish minister
is to say that at the hands of Campos
the insurgents received all considera-
ton customary in civilized warfare,
that the Spanish campaign has been
waged in accordance with the usages
of enlightened countries, while the
methods of the rebels have been un-
civilized and wantonly destructive, the
rights and property of non-combatants
being entirely ignored, course COM
pletely at variance with the European
ideas of warfare.
It must be admitted by those who
will be frank that in this little matter
the Spanish government has the drop
on the senate foreign affairs committee
What it states regarding the course of
Campos is measurably true, and what
It says about the methods of the rebels
is absolutely true. While Spain has
issued no proclamation formally re-
cognizing the Cubans as belligerents,
Campos virtually treated them as such.
But the rebels have failed to recipro-
cate. The kind of a campaign the
rebels are carrying on may or may not
be necessary to success, but be that as
it 10, there is little dopbt about the
ruin and demoralizati0n which has
marked their footsteps prejudicing
large part of the world against them.
The consideration by the senate of
any such resolution as TIL one noted
is most inappropriate. If this gov
ernment desires to recognize the bel
1igerency Of the rebels it has right to
do 80 unquestioned, but for it to ask
Spain to give this recognitiofsis is piece

would be vastly better for the interests
of the people of these United States
if the senate would stop "resoluting"
about affairs in foreign parts and get
down to legislating about matters per-
tinent to domestic parts. The senate
has too many cheap political evangel-
lists and full-blown demagogues in it.

CONGRESSION OBSTRUC.
TON

The last circular letter of that very
astute and analytical financier. Henry
Clews, presents most optimistic view
of financial and industrial conditions
and prospects. 1t is his opinion that
we have reached "hard pan" and from
this time onward the movement in
business will be that of recovery. The
only impediment to revival he con-
siders is to be found in congress. Re-
earding the demagogCes, the dodgers
and the do-nothings of that body, he
INDUCES in the following pointed re-
marks
By far the most serious of all obstacles
to revival comes from the attitude of con-
gress towards remedial legislation on the
currency situation: The feeling is univer-
sal that there can be no abiding confidence
until something radical is done towards
purging our monetary system from its I'M
sound elements. And yet il seems impos-
sible to arouse congress to any just COM
prehension of the paramount importance
the people attach to this factor. The ac-
ton of the house is held in suspense be-
tween the clamor of the silverites and
the cheap-money advocates on the one
hand and the sound money senti-
ment on the other; while the
senate can apparently be depended upon
for nothing better than free coinage
schemes. Among political leaders, the
question il not what conservative sentiment
asks or the impending dangers demand,
but what suits the ends of party politics.
1t is deemed politically convenient to keep
the whole question open, so that the mere
politicians may play fast and loose with it
pending the election excitement; and thus
not one step is taken toward settling the
most important issue now before the coun-
try. The misfortune of this inaction ia
that we can have no assurance that it will
be changed for a policy of sound
reform after the election purposes
have been served. If the party
leaders feel at liberty to make the quee-
tion subservient to political expediencies,
there is no saying how long they may
choose to continue that treatment, nor
what sort of vicious compromises they
may propose to get it out of the way.
