Devoted to Cuba.

The inference from the speeches of SEN
ators on Senator Morgan's concurrent res
olution granting belligerent rights to the
Cuban insurgents and Cameron's resolu-
ton recognizing the independence of
Cuba, is that the Senate is prepared to go
to almost any length to assist the insur-
gents. Senator Morgan. during the deliv-
cry of his speech. declared it to be his be-
lief that Spain would rather lose Cuba
as the result of a war with the United
States than sell her right to it or abandon
it because of her inability to. conquer the
insurgents There is good reason to think
that this view of the situation is correct.
The SDaniards are very proud people.
and they could lose Cuba as the result of
a war with the United States without any
great sacrifice of pride, because the United
States are a very much greater power.
The question for this country to consid-
er, however. is not how the wounding of
SPANS pride may be avoided. but how
the interests of this country can best be
served. Do the United States want Cuba?
If so they can get it, if Senator Morgan's
view is correct. by engaging in war with
Spain, and in that way only. They can
not purchase it because Spain will not sell
it, and they would not get it if the insur-
gents should succeed. because the insur-
gents are fighting for independence, and
if they should be victorious they would
want to enjoy to the fullest extent the
fruit of their victory
Tho fsrst +l,t,,c, +t,o.
States to consider is whether or not they
want Cuba. If they do not, what benefit
would it be to them to adopt a policy that
would involve them in a war with Spain?
Such a war would cost a great deal and
would not be beneficial to them from any
point OF view. If congress should act in
the Cuban matter along lines indicated by
the speeches delivered in the Senate we
should, in all probability. become involved
in a war with Spain, because Spain see
ing little probability of whipping the in
surgents into SUBMISSION would find pre-
text for war with the United States. in

ton of being defeated by the insurgents.
sympathy with a people struggling for
liberty is commendable, and there is no
doubt that the sympathy of the people of
this country is with the struggling Gu
bans. but are we ready and willing to pay
the price of expressing sympathy in the
manner indicated by Senator Morgan
when he said that in a certain event it
was our duty to draw the sword. lay it

The Influences OF Lent are to be OBJ
served on all sides. in cessation Of So
ciaI activities. in the increased number OF
church services and church goers. and a
variation OF the character of the city's re-
tail trade. To a considerable extent. dur
ing the forty days Lenten period the do
nestle and social life Of a large percent
age of the population is changed. Res
traints are laid upon indulgences. the
mind is diverted from worldly affairs and
to reflection. and the soul is invited to re-
lisious devotions. In the old days. now
long departed sackcloth and ashes, in the
literal sense. were accounted necessary
adjuncts to the proper observance Of the
period. Now those emblcms Of penitence
and penance are considered merely in a
fgurative sense. Nevertheless. there can
be no doubt that after the season Of forty
days of even hgurative sackcloth and
ashes. the world energies purer and better,
and further on towards the achievement
of that glorious destiny for which God
made IT,
Lent teaches self-denial. humility, con-
triton. charity-indeed, the sum of Chris
tian virtues. During Lent when the vot-
aries Of fashion lay aside their baubles,
pride and envy depart and criticism is
hushed. Scandal and Islander seldom en-
ter the church door. hence during sombre
Lent the moral atmosphere is clearer than
at other times.
The pessimist. who loves to believe the
world is growing wickeder, has but to
watch the crowds of worshippers on the
way to the sanctuary. to have the theory
abundanhy disproved. The rites of Lent
have come down from a period beyond the
Sixth century, but are still observed with
as much fervor as ever; howbeit. in this
advanced age there are few suggestions
Of pagan ceremony, which attached to the
observation in earlier times.
Aside from religious considerations OF
the season, 1t is well that period of rest
and recuperation should be observed dur
ing the year Modern men and women live
at high pressure. They race at full speed
for riches, and pleasure. and honors, and
all things" else that they desire Naturally
tissues are worn and energies depleted
During the Lenten period there may be
rest, recuperation and rehabilitation.

Gold in the south.

1t was announced in our dispatches
Saturday that rich gold bearing ore had
just been found near Wilkesboro, Wilkes
county, North Carolina. According to the
report. the ore turned cut $1,000 in gold
and $1,000 in silver to the ton.
We have no doubt that there are rich
deposits of gold in the south. Now that
attention is being turned to gold mining.

senate Lights ana Shadows.

The Senate was considering private pen
sion bills. The machinery was grinding
in a lazy, hum-drum sort of way, to out
ward appearances, but was nevertheless
dropping a grist of passed bills with
amazing rapidity. The few senators in
the chamber took interest in the proceed
ings only when the name of some one of
their own constituents was called out by
the clerk. A bill to pension the widow
of a common soldier was read and rail-
roaded through. Following it came a bill
to pension the widow of a general. The
difference between the amounts propos-
ed to be given the two women attracted
Populist Aliens attention. He concluded

lection, saying no discrimination should
be made between the widow of a pri-
vate and of general. He was opposed
to class legislation, etc.
The occasion called for champion on
the other side. Mr.. Cali of Florida was
equal TO the emergency. He assured the
senator from Nebraska that there were
distinctions in life, and that they must
be recognized. Mr.. Allen was shocked.
He had heretofore regarded the senator
from Florida as a friend of the poor man,
and now he found him to be an aristocrat.
and a defender of the aristocracy. The
Nebraskan observed that If he were such
an aristocrat as the Floridian he would
Immediately expatriate himself and go to
England or Russia, where the aristocrats

The Senate-what there was of it pres

Senator Calls snagged trousers being
patched by the wives of his constituents
in the back districts. and of the "chaws"
of tobacco that the senator borrowed

Washington newspapers so dearly love to
tell at the expense of the great Floridian.
hoatcd through the minds of the sena-
tors. The idea of Senator Call being set
up as a defender of the aristocracy was
too ridiculous. The situation dawned
upon the senator himself, and. so the
Washington Post says. he spent almost
the remainder of the afternoon ''squaring
himself with his constituents and show
ing that he was really not a friend of the
arstocrats.' 1t must have been a very
amusing situation. The Post says It was

The responsibility which rests upon tho
democratic state committee OF Georgia
This year is much greater than IN any
previous year. This is owing TO the fact
that it VIII have to decide whether tho
custom Of holding two conventions IN
presidential years shall be set aside and
q call for only one convention issued.
The committee has been called to meet
on March z. We do not know whether
the members of the committee have maze
up their minds as to the wisdom Of the
one-convcntion movement or not No
body is supposed to be informed on that
subject. No doubt the members Of the
committee are considering the arguments
that have been made for and against the
calling Of only one convention, and they
cannot have failed 20 observe that the
one-convention movement was not started
in response to general demand for a
change from two conventions TO only one.
but that it was suggested by those who
favor the free coinage Of silver and re-
ceives its support from silverites only.
This of itself is sufficient to excite in
quiry as 10 whether it is in tho interest
Of the party or only that faction of il
that favors free silver coinage.
The state committee, we assume bears
in mind the fact that. whatever the views
Of its individual members on the silver
question may be, its duty is to do only
what is best for the welfare Of the whole
party. 1t cannot afford to lend itself to
any scheme having for its purpose the
success of a faction of the party. Those
having control Of the party machinery
can do much to disrupt a party or to bring
about it's defeat If the impression gets
abroad that the party machinery is being
used in the interests of faction the
dissatisfaction that will arise is pretty
certain to result in the party's defeat.
There are convincing reasons for saying
that the one-convention movement is in
the interest of a faction. These reasons
are so strong as to produce conviction.
Can the state committee afford to ally
itself with a faction? But 1t may be said
that those who oppose the one-convention
scheme are a faction of the party and
ing one faction than the other. But there
is a great difference. Those who favor
sound money are not asking for any
change. They say that if the custom Of
quarter of a century or more is ad-
hered to there will be no complaint and
no ground for complaint. What they say
should be needed for the reason
that they are. in effect, the
party. because the last national
democratic platform and the last state
democratic platform contain declarations
for sound money. Both platforms are
against free silver coinage. From no
standpoint therefore is there any salts
factory reason why the state committee
should depart from the two-convention
custom. TO depart from it on the de-
mand Of those who are in opposition 20
both the national and state platforms OF
the party would be to take a RESPONSE
bility that few men would care to bear.
When the silvertes commit the party to
the free coinage Of silver they will be in
position to dictate, and not before.
