AUTONOMY FOR CUBA.

A dispatch from Madrid to the New
York World says it is useless to in
dulge the belief that the present gov
eminent will go beyond the very Slight
est degree of home rule for Cuba en-
bodied in last years bill, which in no
wise implies even political autonomy.
That is most probably true. In found
ing colonies Spain has never had but
one object in view, that is to utilize
them as a source Of revenue. Even
for the extension of political ideas she
has not cared. The political ideals of
the palace at Madrid and the Escurial
have always sufficed for her. 1t is
three centuries since Philip II died,
but Spain has not advanced half a
century towards liberal political ideas
since then. With such ideas direct
ing her policy IT is likely that Spain
is going to grant any appreciable meas
ure of genuine reform to the Cubans?
1t will be such reform as was given
the Incas when Pizzaro was in Peru
He was there to extort gold and silver
from the Peruvians for Spain. Spain
keeps her hold upon Cuba for the same
purpose today.
The Spanish people themselves are
against the concession of home rule
to Cuba, and the ministry, no matter
of what political party it may be, will
be but too glad to do the will of the
people in this regard. If concessions
are made, it will be because of the
pressure from foreign governments;
nothing else 1T is almost impossible
TO conceive of Cuba enjoying that
same measure of independence that
Canada does. Canada fixes her own
tariffs. Spain fixes Cuba's and will
continue to fix them SO long as she
exercises authority in the island 1t
is quite likely that with sixteen sena-
tors and thirty deputies in the cortes
the mother country thinks Cuba has all
the representation and autonomy she
should ask for, and more than she is
entitled TO.
There will never be any final solu-
ton of the Cuban question until Cuba
is free and independent.

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser of Thursday last said:
Three Republican STATE conventions
yesterday-in Connecticut, Maryland
and Tennessee-declared for the gold
standard and sound money in positive
terms Two Democratic state conven-
tions-in Nebraska and Alabama-de-
clared for free silver and the unlim-
tied coinage of ffty-cent dollars with
equal explicitness. The lines are being
drawn on the currency issue with such
clearness that they cannot be mistaken
by the dullest mind"
That is true, and The Herald takes
pleasure in noting that as the line
falls, Democrats are standing ON one
side of 1T and Republicans ON the 9th
er, Just as all along we have contended
it would be. We believe it to be the
mission of the Democratic party to
right the wrong done by the Republi-
can party when in 1873 it struck down
silver.
We repudia!te the charge incorporat-
ed in the above that the Democratic
demand for free coinage OF silver is a
demand for the unlimited coinage of
"fifty-cent dollars" That statement is
Just a Republican misrepresentation.

a PATRIOTIC uTyrERANcE.

In his address at Denver on Sunday
to the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the
members of which attended st. Mary's
cathedral in a body, Rev. T. II. Ma
lone, in the course of his remarks, said:
The loyalty and patriotism of the
Catholic citizen have been tested by
sacrifices for a hundred years, but he
has never fiinched in the hour of trial.
Let it be proclaimed to the world
that we are good citizens, and loyal
to the institutions of our government,
because we are good Catholics. We do
not ask special privileges in America,
either, for what we are or for what
we have done. We are still willing to
endure for the sake of America. 1t
should be to the loyal citizen a duty
and pleasure to work for that which
will give perpetuity to the institutions
which are capable of so much good to
the human race.
That utterance we take it breathes
the true spirit of American patriotism;
and this the essence of good sense.
we do not ask special privileges in

We knew that some Republican pa
per would take exception to Ambassa-
dor Bayard making a speech at the
Shakespeare celebration even if con-
gress did not formally censure him.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says; sThe oc-
casion Of Mr.. Bayard's speech was the
formal presentation of an American
memorial to Shakespeare. He did well
in not vulgarly obtruding the Shakes
pearean cult of the United States upon
an English audience; for once his lack
of AmeTicanism served him well. But
there are times when an intensity of
american feeling is needful in the ut-
terances of an American ambassador
TO England"

America either for what we are or
what we have done" Father Malone
is right, no religious sect or church
be its doctrines. ever SO patriotic, or
the conduct of its members ever so up
right, ought to ask or expect
special privileges on that account
Special privileges ought to be unknown
under our system of government, as
much in the case Of churches as of
individuals. If church teaches 10y
atty to the government it teaches that
only which is its duty to teach; and
if its members are true and loyal to
the government in hours of trial. they
but discharge the duties they owe to
it. and cannot make that a basis up On
which to demand special privileges for
their church.
Churches like individuals stand upon
an equality before the law. They
possess the same rights, enjoy the
same inmunities; and though some of
them may be better than others, that
is, endowed with a higher spirituality,
or blessed with firmer hold upon the
truth, yet this gives them no right to
the enjoyment of special privileges,
and they must be content with the
religious liberties guaranteed alike to
all similar institutions. This is all the
grants, this is all any
church can ask. since 1t is sufficient for
the accomplishment of all that
church can ligitimately desire to do.

Our dispatches yesterday stated that
IN the opinion of treasury officials and
others best qualified to make an inte4-
hger1t estimate, ibhe treasury deficit fer
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1896,
would be about $4,000, OOG If this es-
innate turns out to be correct, it viii
show Secretary Carlisles estimate in
his annual report to be out of the way
by $S,000,000; for he estimated the de-
felt for this year at $1,000, 900. The
secretary, in his estimates, set down
the receipts from customs at $172, 0OO,-
O00. In the ten months of the year
they have amounted TO but $137, 000 900,
and the probability is that they will
reach but about $4,000, coo, falling
off of s7,OOO,OOO below Mr.. Carlisle's fig
ures. The secretary's estimate of tht,
receipts from internal revenue sources
was S15S,0O0OO0; they have reached
$120, 100000 and may reach STAG, 900, 600,
a falling off of So, 900, 900 below the sec
retary's estimate From those two
sources of revenue Mr.. Carlisle, that
is, if the present estimates turn out to
be correct, has missed the fact by
$20,000,00O; though a decrease in the
probable expenditures of the govern
ment, and an increase of income from
miscellaneous sources will bring the
secretarys estimates within $S,OOO.OOO
of the deficit.
In period of business stagnatfon
like the present, with but little money
in the hands of the people burdened
with debt, it is scarcely safe to be
making calculations and basing esti-
mates Of deficits upon them. the Won
der will be not that the secretary fell
$S,OOO,OCO short of the deficit, but that
he came within that much of stating
what it would be.

This is the manner in which the New
York Evening Post touches up the
position taken by Major Mckinley:
A good many things, however, are
already rejecting upon Mr.. McKin-
ley. One of the most strongly reflect
ing things is the suggestion of some of
his worried hackers that, now that his
shutting currency platform is being
so heartily repudiated in state after
state, he may decide to come out open
ly for the single gold standard. This
would be a great, "a Napoleonic stroke.
It would be equivalent to a confession
that when he said silver in March he
meant gold in April, and, of course,
that when ne says gold now, he means
silver or whatever you please to de-
mand of him later on. Even his Olym-
plan mind must see that to make
this volte-1aoe now would be taken as
a sign of alarm. He has made his
choice, and will be judged by it
whether he tries to retreat from it or
not. IF gold-standard candidate is
