THE CrBAN REsoLUTIoNs.

A careful reading of the Cuban resolu-
tions reported to the Senate by the COM
mittee on foreign affairs shows that they
really mean very much less than they
appear 10 at a hasty glance. Indeed they
commit the government to no definite
policy in regard to the rebellion. The
farthest they go is to hint that if Spain
inaugurates all uncivilized method of
warfare in the island the United States
will interfere. They ask the President
to ask Spain TO recognize the belliger.
ency Of the rebels, but they do not init
mate that any thing will happen if Spain
refuses. Probably they represent oom-
promise between the members of the
foreign affairs committee who wanted to
go to the extreme of recognizing the
belligersncy Of the rebels right away and
those who did not want to do anything
until something more definite is known
of the exact state of the rebellion.
There is enough of sympathy for the
rebels in the resolutions to displease
spain and not enough to satisfy the
rebels. So far as they go, however, they
will he help to the latter, that
is they will give them some en-
couragement to hope that recognition
Of beligerency may not be faroff, and
| it may be that the threat to inter-
fere if the new Governor General
undertakes any butcher tactics. may re-
strain Spain from inauguleting a war
of determination. 1t il not expected
that they will pass the House, even if
they get through the Senate, which is
somewhat doubtful. just now the Senate
and House seem to have changed places.
The latter has become the conservative
body. and the former is INDUCING in all
the fireworks.

He pitched into the President as he said
he would before he departed from South

charging him with making personal
profit out of the bond contract with the

The charges which Col Greeley S.
Curtis OF the First Massachusetts, Cavalry
makes against General Hooker will
cause general surprise-espeoially the one
which practically imputes desertion four
days before the battle of Gettysburg.
Hooker gained the sobriquet of eight

aware that he had some shortcomings,
oowardice or anything approaching it has
never before been imputed TO him or
thought of in connection with him. Col.
Curtis's attack will doubtless call out

Democratic Opinion.

Philadelphia Times: The returns indicate
the practical collapse Of the democratic or
ganization. The republicans have not only
polled their full vote but many more votes
than they ever polled before.
Philadelphia Record: Maine has spoken
and she has spoken the deathknell Of iatism
and populism in these United states, All
hail the stanch old Pine Tree state. aud all
honor to her patriotic yeomanry!
Boston Globe: Maine reiterates with un-
expected emphasis the verdict of Vermont
against the free coinage of silver and the
Chicago platform. There is no room for
doubt that all the remaining states OF the
east will in November concur in the judg-
ment Of these typical eastern states.
Springfield Republican: This is worse
than the Greeley year, when the bottom
dropped out. In the September election of
1872 the republicans OF Maine had a plural
ity of 11,2l6, while in Vermont they had
25.333. Compare these with pluralities of
have a pretty solid east in any event.
Chicago Chronicle: Maine aud Vermont
are mere showers presaging the coming
deluge. At no time since the adjournment
Of the Chicago convention has there been
a possibility of any other result. The
recreant democrats who sought to betray
their party did not have even a gamblers
chance of winning. They published their
treachery without the possibility Of reward.
Kansas City Star: AS TO the people who
have Just given their decision on the great
question at issue before the American people,
they are like the people OF Vermont, who
voted the other day-typical Americans, yet
with a larger and more liberal view Of
matters political, for there IS always d
fight in Maine, and occasionally a reversal
and overturn; yet the Maine people are
intelligent, thinking, discussing American
voters. They are not a body Of plutocTats.
certainly not paupers. and are as well in
formed on public questions as any body Of
voters in the union, and their ballots eX-
press the "freaman's WILL freely exercised.
They have expressed their opinion, and
every citizen is at liberty to draw his own
inference.
Louisville Courier-Journal: The Maine
election is more significant than that Of
Vermont. 1t is the home of one of Mr..
Bryan's vice presidential candidates; it was
late as 1880, when the Inflated Hancock and
tain drift of republican votes, the Pine Tree
state chose a fusion candidate for governor
with republican and prohibition votes in
the field. Maine is the home OF prohibition
and populism, and every other ism that has
come along of late has been nourished there.
An active campaign has been made in 1t by
George Fred Williams and other popocrat
orators. Under the circumstances it was
not unreasonable to expect the largely re-
duced republican vote which Sewall and the
popocrats expected. Instead of that the
home of Sewall places a plurality of 10000
to the credit of sound money. This is by
far the largest plurality ever given to any
candidate.
Omaha daily bee., 1896-09-18

Chicago Inter Ocean; Bourke Cochran
spoke in Omaha, but made no illusions to
being in an enemy's country" II is only
the genuine Bryanite who seeks to array
section against section and class against
class. II should be said. however, to Bryan's
credit that he has tried to explain this un-
fortunate %allusion, but IL would he more to
his patriotism II his speeches had less in
them CultivatinE the passions Of his hearers.
Kansas City star: notwithstanding the
intensity OF feeling and the wide prevalence
Of what may be called animated discussion.
the present national campaign has been so
far characterized by general deccncy OF be
havior and an outward display of proper
tolerance. The only notable effort to howl
down a speaker by the opposition was in
the case of Bourke Cochran at Omaha on
Monday night, and this was not finally
successful, as MIR. Cochran said his say"
and talked till he was done. Some day it
will be realized in this country that, dur
ing a presidential campaign, every citizen
should be upon his best behavior. and cs-
pecially on guard against his lower and
more savage propensities.
st. Louis e-Democrat: The Organizes
are maintaining their high record in stu
pidtty. In Richmond and Carrollton. Mo.
they recently howled down honest money

ings, and now they have just attempted to

but he carried his state. The people like
free speech and fair play. Two-thirds of

attracted last Saturday in st. Louis will vote
against Bryan, but not one of them offered
him any insult or showed the slightest dis
respect 10 him Cochran will speak in st.

THE SLUMP IN ARKANSAw.

Louisville Courier-Journal: A glance at
these hgurcs (returns from Maine) and at
the revised returns of less than 80. 900 plur-
atty for Jones in Arkansas-a falling off of
10000 over the democratic plurality in 1891
VIII pretty nearly convince any one how the
election is going.
New York Mail and Express: In spite
of all popOcratic efforts to make a great
demonstration in Arkansas. and in spite
OF the partisan election machinery. It seems
that while the democratic vote increased 10
per cent, the republican vote increased 40
per cent. 1t looks very much like a
Pyrrhic victory, after all.
Chicago Tribune: Chairman Jones of
Arkansas is not as jubilant as he was a few
days ago at popocratic headquarters. Then
he said dispatches from the chairman of
the state committee and from leading news
paper men of the state indicated a majority
of from 90, 900 to &c, 900. Now, however.
official returns have been received from 81
out OF 90 Counties, showing that Jones plur-
ality is 40, 234 and his majority 80, $40, and
these figures may yet be reduced some.
Thus Arkansas falls behind both Vermont
and Maine.
Burlington Hawkeye: Later returns de-
velop the fact that the supposed tremendous
victory for the silverites in Arkansas is
dropping down ITO a very commonplace
affair. The republicans have fully held their
own in the vote pClled. while the democrats
have suffered a slight decrease, and the
plurality, instead of being from &C, 900 to
10000, as at first announced. is only As. 234.
with four counties to hear from. Two years
ago the democrats had As, 1924 plurality for
governor. and in 1892 Cleveland had AZ, $50.
Indianapolis Journal: The democratic
majority in Arkansas has undergone a very
material shrinkage. At first announced at
1900 to 10 200. Jones plurality has now
shrunk to 1924, and his majority over all
to 1880, with a prospect of som further
reduction. In 1894 the democrats elected
their governor by a plurality of 4S,724, so
that, as the figures now stand, they show a
loss of AGO compared with that election.
A loss of over 5000 votes in two years is
nothing for the democrats to crow over,
even in darkest Arkansas.
