demanded that the administration ac-
cord belligerent rights to the Cuban in
surgents and the demand has been
constantly ignored by the president.
A well informed Washington CORES
pondent says that the true reason for
the administration course in the mat
ter is the fact that the Venezuelan
boundary dispute is not settled; that
while the. incident does not cause much
comment now and the whole thing
seems almost forgotten, it is far from
closed.
This is probably the case. That
famous message of December H. 1895,
and the appointment of a commission
to inquire into the whole matter and
ascertain the true boundary line, did
not settle the question. Nor does the
fact that a Blue Book on the subject
was submitted to parliament prove
that England will leave her case in The
its decision. It is well known that
Salisbury has fretted under the whole
proceeding and that only the efforts
of his associates have prevented him
from giving vent to his feelings on the
matter, with perhaps serious conse-
quences as the result.
In view of all this the country will
be rather inclined to endorse the presi-
dents conservative attitude on the
Cuban question, when it is understood
that a declarat ton of hostilities by
Spain as the result of recognizing Gu
ban belligerency might also mean an
alliance between England and Spain.
And such an alliance between these
two countries, followed by hostilities,
might arouse a general European hos
tility to this country, though 1t would
not necessarily take the form of war.
Europe loves neither the United States
nor the republican form of government.
If such danger as is described above
is threatened, it is plainly the duty
of the administration to do all it honor
ably can to avoid it. Affairs of state,
where grave consequences are involved,
must move slowly and cautiously;
there is no other way to proceed with
therf.

Senator Brown has been doing some
talking about Mckinley and his silence
on the financial question. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer speaks of the senator
in these terms: Senator Brown, of
Utah, has said that Governor McKin-

to his party to keep his mouth shut

Mckinley is too shreWd a politician to
begin now. The people in convention
are the ones to make the platform, and
when it is made Major Mckinley, if he
is nominated. must stand upon it or
decline to be a candidate If Mr..
Brown is right, it follows chat the ma
jor should withdraw all he has said
about the tariff and present the ST.
Louis convention with clean sheet
True, the convention makes the plat
form but the people do not care for a
candidate who can adjust himself to
any platform. They prefer man with
plenty of backbone to a contortionist.

Senator John H. Mitchell of Oregon
will contribute to the June number of
The Forum powerful and convincing
article advocating the Election of
Senators by Popular Vote" He thinks
that the political and moral supremacy
of the people can be rightfully ex-
pressed and maintained only when
they exercise this right directly and
not vicariously. He believes that the
election of United States senators by
popular vote will d afford an efficient
remedy for the many evils resulting
from the present system Of senatorial
elections-such as length of time con-
sumed and frequent failure to choose,
and the consequent distraction of the
legislative mind from it's proper busi
ness; (2) discourage the use of i'm
proper means to influence the control
of senatorial elections; (3) greatly di
minish the temptation to gerrymander;
(4 enlarge the political rights of the
individual voter relating to suffra ge;
co. eliminate from elections involving
the selection of members of the legis-
lature one great cause for irritation
and unseemly contention wherein as
rule the question upon which every
thing is made to turn is as to how
this or that man will vote for senator,
rather than upon the question as to
his fitness for the Office of legislator;
and 6) effectively tend to the destruc-
ton of boss rule" Senator Mitchell
contends that thoroughly aroused
and enlightened public opinion de-
man6s the change, and urges that this
demand be respected by congress to
the extent of giving the people of the
several states, through their represen-
tatives in the legislatures, an oppor-
tunity to pass upon the opinion; for,
in his opinion mo harm is likely to
come to representative republican gov
eminent in America by intrusting to
the qualified electors of the nation the
right to choose by popular vote the

proposition to divide the election
officers half and half, if said Pops
would join them in preventing ne
groes from voting at the general
election.
This being a violation of the
law sufficient to vitiate the election
if carried out, some of the Pops
"smelled a very large mice" and
refused to go into it.
