Washington Letter.
From Our Special Correspondent.

Washington, ID. g., Dec. %, 1896, |
1t may be that it is Christmas
that has caused white-wlngtd |
peace to suddenly cover the war
bomb which seemed about to ex>
plode a few days ago, and that
when Congress reconvenes we shall
again hear the bugle call TO arms
for a war with Spain, in connection
with the resolution for the indee
rcndence of Cuba that was report
I'd to the Senate the day before the
holiday adjournment, But it IS
considered more likely that the
Senate will put in all it's spare
time fighting the claim made 10y
Secretary O.ney and endorsed by
President Cleveland that the right
to recognize a new State or nation
is by the constitution conferred up
on the President alone. This claim
has raised a verv impl rtant ques-
ton. 1t cannot be considered pol>
itical, in party sense, rs the ablest
lawyers regardless of party, both in
and out of Congress are divided IN
opinion as to the rightfulness of
the claim. The matter is being
carefully studied, especially by the
Senators who pride themselves on
their knowledge of constitutional
law. At first glance the claim Of
Secretary Olney seems preposterOus
hut more than one lawyer who
started out to show its uncOnstitue
tionality has stopped in doubt and
almost ready to confess that the
presidents seem to be on MIR. o.
ney's side. 1t will probably sooner
or later get before the U. S. Su-
preme Court, but before then some
very learned speeches on the sub
ject NAV be expected in Congress
secretary Qlney may be right, but
if he is the :e are great many pvo'
pie who think the constitution il
wrong and that it should be amen
ded.
1t is not considered certain by
any means that the resolution fol
the independence of Cuba will bt
adopted by the Senate. Senator
Hale, who will lead the opposition
to it, says he is confident of defeat
ing it, and gives the following a
mOng other reasons for thas conf
dence: 1--WE have just gone through
campaign in which we have pro
missed peace to the country. Is i
consistent to present the incoming
administration with a war at tn,
very threshold of its existence
True, there is a very undesirabl
COZ ditiOn of affairs in Cuba. but
believe the reports are exaggerated
At any rate, it is true that howev
er cruel the conduct of the Span
iards, it finds its counterpart il
, the behavior of the Cubans. It j
their way of fighting, they are diff
f,rent from US. From whateve
standpoint the question is regard
ed, there is no excuse in reason o
precedent for the United States t
interfere In this instruction,
believe the Senate is rapidly com
ing to realize this and am, there

ter has the following:
Editor Danville Register: If the act of
Il Republican Congress, in the matter of
tariff can make fifty cents worth of cloth
worth a dollar, that i, sell for It dollar.
why cannot an act of Congress in the
matter of iinacc make fifty cents worth
of silver worth Il dollar? And if our ma
tion under Republican policy of tariff is
independent of all other nations. and by
that policy prosper, why is ii that it can
not he independent of other nations in its
money policy and in like manner prosper?
And if the fifty cent cloth and the fifty
cent dollar make our people thrifty and
happy, what concern j. il ours that the
other nations do not concur with our
views: l. it not the answer 10 it all that
