THE POSITION OF FRANCE.
She viii Help Her Neighbor in Case of
a Fight.

Paris, March 2-The Temps com
menting on the American Senate's at
titude toward Cuba, says it will help
the Spanish government to suppress
the rebellion in awakening Spanish
patriotism. This noble nation viii
never permit a stranger TO intervene.
La France says: eve owe all our
sympathy and help to Spain in defense
of her rights against the coyetcus
Americans"
The Figaro, commenting on the ac-
tion Of the United States, says that
while the Senator's vote resulting
from the violent attitude of General
Weyler can hardly be excused, the
recall of Marshal Martinez de Campos
was double error, externally and
internally, inasmuch as the coming
election in Cuba, may bring sur
prises.
The Journal blames the United States
Senate for "palliating the outrages Of
the insurgents and condemning the
repressive measures of General Wey-
ler," adding, Europe, one day, will
have to unite against this method Of
applying the Monroe doctrine"
The Libre Parole expresses the opin-
ion that, "the Intervention of the Uni
ted States at every turn is as ridiculous
as it is aggravating. Spain, which

WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF

The Washington Post calls attention
to the fact that all seven Of the Repub-
lican Senators who voted against the
impeachment Of Andrew johnson were
attacked with unexampled bitterness
and driven either into retirement or in
to the Democratic party. 1t says that
the refusal of five silver Republican
Senators to take mp the tariff bill has
been the occasion for quite as much
Pronunciation, and the Post asks the
question whether the experience Of
those seven Senators win be repeated
bv the expulsion Of Senator Teller and
his four associates. 1t does not am
swer the question, but expresses the
opinion that these five gentlemen are
standing on the Republican platform
of 1892.
In his weekly letter to the Mail and
Express, Mai. Moses p. Handy says
st is not necessary to read them out
of the party. They read themselves
out. Better go over to the enemy's
camp at once than to stay in the Re-
publican camp to do the enemy's

New York Tribune calls them dis
honest" and the whole pack of leaders
and organs bark at them, not except
ing Blanche, Troy and Sweetheart.
Not many months ago ex-senator
Ross, OF Kansas one of the Republican
Senators who voted against impeach-
ment, contributed an article to the
Forum that threw many side-lights
on the trial, and the attitude of the
seven brave men who withstood the
clamor of the mob crying for blood.
In years to come Senator Teller may

believed that increased taxation was
not the only method of promoting the
prosperity Of the country.

THE People ARE INCENssD.
There is a Determination 10 indicate
the Nations Honor.

London, March .. The PAN Mall
Gazette to-day has dispatch from
Madrid which says: although Spain
recognizes the absolute independence
of the American Senator's, without adj
uniting the possibility of Intervention.
the premier intends to point out to the
American government the injustice of
some of the language of the Senator's.
lie also proposes to point out the ridi-
Culousness of the pretensions Of the
Cuban rebels whose savage acts it is
claimed merit the condemnation Of
civilized nations. For them to be con
sdered on an equal footing with the
Spanish troops and to grant such
belligerent rights is considered, in
some quarters, to be simply a pretext
for a quarrel with Spain. The govern
ment in any case is preparing for all
eventualities. The patriotism of the
nation has been completely aroused
and the authorities and press counsel
prudence. At the same time, there is
a determination to vindicate the ma
tons honor"

ENGLAND ON SPANS SIDE.
But the London Newspapers Do Not
Expect War.

London March 2-The afternoon
papers of this city to-day comment
freely upon the Cuban situation.
The Globe says: american common
sense is again beginning to chill chau-
yinism. Under its refrigerating in
fluence there has been tardy percep-
tion of the possibility of war when any
nation declines to submit to the bully
ing of the American lingo. But less
heroic methods than resorting to arms
are apt to be brought into play. There
is no question that Spanish people are
resolved to fight to the death sooner
than quit their hold of Cuba at Ameri-
can bidding. Nor would they be
blameworthy il, in such an unequal
contest, they resorted to privateering
to destroy American ocean-Dorne
commerce"
The st. James Gazette remarks: IF
Spain and the United States go to war
it does not follow that the American
will have such q walk-over as they
anticipate. The fall in the price of
American stocks tells it's own tale.
American commerce would be fine
bait for Spanish privateers and the
capture of Cuba would hardly COM
pensate for such damage American
commerce would feel the results not
only on the Atlantic but in European
waters.
THE prospect of Spanish priyatecrs
recalls that another of Americas poll
teal chicks is coming home to roOst.
Spain followed Americas example i'm
refusing to recognize the abolition of
privateers. Thus not even the slight
obstacle of international agreement
exists to prevent the Spaniards from
equipping a swarm of steamers to prey

upon American shipping, which the
Americans threatened to do to the Bril-
fish If they are ever at war with the
United States"
The Westminster Gazette says: Con
gress, in the Cuba business, is taking
the course TO bc expected, in view
of the excitement upon the part Of
Spain and upon the part of the United
States leading newspapers, a large sec
tion of the public is beginning To- won
der whether the Senate has not been
too precipitate. The President and the
executive are carefully lying low and
sayin muffin and are subject to party
prospects at the approaching election,
which is permcating every discussion
of the international situation, all of
which is entertaining, but it, is not
war"

THE SUNS MISTAKE.

The esteemed Baltimore Sun de
feated the Democrats in Baltimore and
Maryland last year. Yesterday it
says:
During last years campaign in this
State the managers of the Democratic
machine made so many plumbers that
it seemed impossible to equal their
record, but the Republicans in the
Legislature and City Council have in
the last two months far surpassed
them in the matter Of political
lunacy." mMa
This shows that the Sun ought to
have made the fight within party
lines.
The financial trouble that has come
to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad is
greatly to be deplored. 1t has long
been great system, and its stocks
have been held in all parts Of the world.
The loss that will be sustained in these
stocks will cause distrust in other rail
road securities.

The Virginia Legislature has passed
the Maupin anti-gambling bill and
Governor O'Ferrall will promptly sign
it. In fact, the credit Of it's passage is
in no little measure due to the Govern
or's vigorous action says the Baltimore
sun. The bill was hung up in the SEN
ate. although the majority was in favor
of II. But the Governor, it is reported,
allowed it to be understood that, if
it was defeated, he would call an extra
session. The result was the Senate
concurred in the bill by the decisive
vote of 20 to T. The Maupin measure
Is not only a rigid enactment against
pool-selling ut races, but against all
other forms of gambling. But primari-
ly it is designed to prevent the DIS
graceful debauchery at the race-tracks
near Washington. 1t was claimed that
the passage of such a law would be
injurious to the breeding interests OF
the State, but the shallowness of this
argument was demonstrated on no
less authority than breeders them
selves, and it was shown that to abol-
ish the corrupt methods which have
been praeticed at the tracks in Alex
.tdria county could not possibly be
disastrous TO Virginia horsemen. The
law is distinctly in the interest OF order
and good morals, and it is not likely
that the Virginia Legislature will ever
have occasion to regret its action
