The Senate's Cuban Re~oIu.,

Several things OF Importance are to be
torne m mind in considering the resolution
which the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations will report for adoption recoy-
hizinS the independence Of Cuba Foreign
powers especially should be careful to take
note.
I'D The resolution is not asdeclaration of
war Congress does not proceed in that
way to declare war. The act proposed is
strictly In line with American precedents
ana strictly in line with the almost unani
nous sentiment of the American people II
grows out OF no land-grabbing or hlibuster-
Ing spirit. but distinctly out of the plain
dictates of good order and the humanities.
NO civilized power should tolerate the exist
ence OF slaughter pen for human beings

neighbor and friend, for recognition. II
Spain can AFFORD war with the United
States on that issue, and challenges 1t, the
United States can also afford 1t.
C) Local politics in the United States has
no part or lot in the question. The sturdiest
men of all parties are In favor of the inde-
pendence of Cuba. Nor is the question in
the slightest degree sectional. The person
mel OF the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations is in itself exceedingly Instructive
or this score. Here are the men: John
Sherman. Ohio; W. p. Frye, Maine; c. X.
Davis, Minnesota: j. d. Cameron, PennsyI-
vania; s. NJ Cuilom. Illinois: H. c. Lodge.
Massachusetts,; J. T. Morgan, Alabama:
George Gray. Delaware; David Turpie
Indiana: J. W. Daniel, Virginia. and R. O.
Mills, Texas. Cuban independence there
fore. carries this country literally from
Maine. through Mr.. Frye. to Texas, through
Mr.. Mills.
(4) The fact that a new administration
will come into power in three months has
no bearing on the matter. If Spain thus
declares war against the United States
without just cause, and is able to keep the
field that long, she will find that she has
as much on her hands then ever. Maybe
a little more then than at the start Mr..
Mckinley knows what war is. and as
commander-in-chief of the army and navy
would respond to the emergency with much
OF the fire that filled him a youngster
thirty-five years ago when he shouldered
his gun and took the field in support of
his principles. The old hand would relax
and the new one take hold without a per-
ceptible jar. The inaugural ceremonies by
the enthusiasm shown would reveal the
hemogeneity of the people and their single
hess of purpose against any foreign foe.
Republican ard democrat. populist and pro-
hbitionist, ex-Union soldier and ex-confed-
crate soldier. are as one in support of the
stars and stripes and all that it stands for
War is not the aim of the American
people. But if war comes, as the result of
an act which they consider just and fully
justified, then they will meet it.

MIR. Bayard AUaiu.

The London Standard, in it's latest COM
plin.tnt to Mr.. Bayard, says: He has
taught us to expect in his successor wide
syDpathies, refined tastes and gracious
ways"
The Standard deals in nonsense The ex-
pee etation that Mr.. Bayards successor will
ne In every way worthy Of his post grows
out OF nothing in particular that Mr.
Bayard has done while holding it, but out
Oh the history Of the post. Does the Stand
ard recall that history? Probably not.
Inc best assurance the United States has
ever given of it's high respect for Great
Britain, and of it's desire to stand well with
the mother country. has been found in the
exalted character and personal ACCOMPLISH
ments of the men chosen to represent this
government at the court of ST. James
Ihey have been the best types of Ameri-
cans-men of learning in both literature
ana the law, and equally at home in the
council of state ard in the drawing room
For half a century past the list is a yery
conspicuous one.
Mr. Buchanan served in London. He
came back from there to become President
He failed in the office of President. but he
was very useful and successful diplomat.
Charles Francis Adams served in London
all through the time of the civil war here.
and was tower of strength for the pro-
motion of good feeling between the two
countries during a much more ticklish era
than has since existed. England has not
seen his superior in diplomatic office from
any quarter of the globe.
MIR. Motley, next to Mr.. Bancroft. the
greatest American historian, and Mr..
Lowell one of the most eminent of Ameri-
can poets and critics, both served in Lon
don E. j. Phelps. one of the leaders of
the American bar, held the commission
four years. Mr.. Bayard's immediate pre-
decessor was Robert T. Lincoln, who. as
his countrymen see him, possesses every
quality calculated to insure him influence
and popularity In the highest station any,
where.
With this record, can it be said with
truth or informingly that Mr. Bayard. by
any of his suavity and fine speeches has
raised expectation in England on the score
of American character and accomplish
ments? Hardly.
If the Standard Is interested In America.
and feels the slightest anxiety on the SUBJ
Ject Of Mr.. Bayard's successor, it should
inform itself on the subject of American
resources, as revealed, not in anybody's
claims on the subject, but in the line of
officials who have served at the English
court. Mr.. Bayard Is a man of refinement
and sympathy, but he does not monopolize
those qualities when at home.
