WARS GRIM FRONT

the total loss of all of the claims for
indemnity for American property de-
stroyed during the insurrection which
now may lie against Spain, for. our ac-
ton would relieve her at once of re-
Sponsibility. AS the SpaniardS them
selves, however, are prepared to prefer
large claims against the United States
for the damage wrought by filibuSter-
ing expeditions, this loss, in measure,
may be Offset. Of course, too, by recog-
nizing the jurisdiction of the Cubans
over their island, we should be able to
hold them responsible for further losses
of this character.
4 All of these gains to the Cubans,
after all, are largely theoretical in
value. What the insurgents undoubt-
edly expect and ardently wish for, in
the opinion of the state department
people, is the precipitation of a war
between the United States and Spain,
as the latter power more than once has
intimated that such action on our part
as the recognition Of independence of
the Cubans would be an unfriendly act,
and such an authority as Wharton
comedies that it would be sufficient
for a caSus belli.
PRECEDENT FOR WAR
An interesting precedent in this line,
I and, by the way, one supporting the
assumption that war will result, is
the history Of the action Of our govern
ment in recognizing the independence
of Texas. In a report made by Senator
Clay, of the committee on foreign re-
lations, in respect to the recognition
of Texas, are the following passages,
possibly applicable to the present case:
The right of one independent power to
recognize the fact of the existence of a new
power about to assume position among the
nations of the earth is uncontestable. 1t is
founded upon another right that which ap-
pertains to every sovereignty. to take care of
its own interests by re-establishing and cul-
tivating such commercial other relations
with the new power as may be deemed ex-
pedient. It's exercise gives no just grounds
of umbrage cause OF war. The policy
which has hitherto guided the government
of the United States in respect to new pow
ers has been to act upon the fact of the
existence, without regard to their origin,
whether that has been by the subversion of
the pre-existing government by the vio-
lent voluntary separation Of one from
another part of common nation
But with respect to new powers the recog-
milton Of their governments comprehends
first, an acknowledgment of their ability to
exist as separate states, and, second the
capacity of their governments to fulfill the
obligations towards foreign powers incident
to their new condition.

At the conclusion of his remarks, the
bill creating the art Commission OF the
United States was taken up upon the
request of Mr.. Hansbrough and passed
after Mr. Hoar had secured amend
ments striking out the proyisO that
artists and sculptors should not serve
on the commission. and that the ap-
pointees should be learned in literature
and arts.
The question arose as to the future
programme on the
CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. Gray said it was the desire of the
Committee on Foreign Relations TO Sc
cure action tomorrow if possible.
Mr.. Frye added that Mr.. Sherman
(who was present. had told him that he
would tomorrow at the close of a
speech by Mr.. Cockrell on financial
conditions. ask to take up the Cuban
resOlutiOns,andifthere was no objection
he would move TO take them up. It
was the general impression. however.
that the vote would not be reached to-
morrow The Senate then passed sew
eral more bills on the calendar. among
which were: To permit owners of
claims to iron and coal mines on forest
reservations to perfect their title there
to and TO procure a patent therefor.
At $50 the Senate adjourned.

is his tariff pull with the trusts, IS in
cIned 10 be uOn-committal on even that
time-honored Republican issue.
The latest exemplifcation of this
condition of the Republican mind,
which apears to be rapidly becoming
chronic. is furnished in the platform Of
the Ohio Republicans, on which Nc
Kinley and the State ticket stand.
Being a platform for Mckinley it Of
course declares for NIcKinleyism, but
it also favors reciprocity. Now reel
procity is NOT a Mckinley policy. Nc
Kinley. when his bill was under con-
sideration. fought the reciprocity pro-
vision tooth and nail until forced to
surrender. TO use the words of Senator
Cullom. And he was forced to SIR
render only after Mr.. Blaine had
smashed a brand new silk hat in the
Ways and Means committee room in
denunciation Of the Mckinley bill with
out some such provision. for Mckinley
in his narrowness Of view on this sub
ject. was actually opposed to any trade
az all with foreign countries. But rec
iprocty is a popular fad with the high
tariners and, so. into the platform it
went.
When we come to the money plank
of the platform, however. we meet the
grand suaddle of the occasion. We
are told practically that the RepubH-
cans Of Ohio and their candidate for the
Presidency are ready for anything in
the currency line that the people may
want it doesn't matter what. They
contend for honest money; for a CIR
rency of gold. silver and paper" and it
must be las sound as the government
and as untarnished as its honor.
What a noble. patriotic. splendid dec
laration, All it lacks is a mere uine
i'm the way Of specification as to where
the Ohio Republicans and their cqndl-
date stand on the currency question.
They favor bi-metallism. the rifing
matter of the ratio between the
gold and the silver to be put
into the dollar they leave to inter-
national agreement. or if that doesn't
suit. to such restrictions and such pro-
visions TO be determined by legisia-
ton as win give us gold, silver or
paper in dollars that shall be at all
times eQual" or in other words, the
Ohio Republican plank ON which Nc
Kinley will go into the ST. Louis con-
yenuon declares for any kind of a dol
lar that will suit everybody, goidbug
and silver bug. alike. All that McKin-
ley asks. in short, is to- be let alone aud
not questioned TOO closely on his cur
rency views and he viii do his best to
De there when the cat jumps.
This pitiful Juggling Of words TO
meet an views and give no pledge by
which he can be held to any side of the
question viii be hmiliating to e1nsci-
encious McKinleyites, but they can
console themselves with the reflection
that he is not much broader in his
suaddle than other prominent Repub-
lican candidates.

ST. Louis. March 12.-Wirhin the

gave up its contract with the Lindell

Nsrylanders were the third TO throw
up the sponge. and before the ink on the
telegram was cold theBuckeyes had the

Mckinley forces have made contracts
with the Southern for all the space
that hotel would give them. and the

come the private house demands. There is
something anomalous about the situation. over
and over again observers of this development of
the West Side express wonder as to where the
people come from who support the builders and
real estate agents. More than that when they
come. when they get together from goodness
knows where. ard rent or buy those costly
dwellings. how do they contrive to nut up with
all the inconvenience they are asked to bear?
There are many good things To be said about
the building up Of the West Side. but there are
some faults to be found also, and with these it is
perhaps best to deal first To begin with, it
must remain one of the enigmas of our age that
in this considerable region, where architects and
builders have had such chances to learn wisdom
in planning. they have rarely learned anything
of the sort. On the contrary, the first problem,
that Of lighting. seems as far away from solution
as ever ii has been, at least in respect to the
