EFFECT OF RECOGNITION.

Mr. HornblOwer Says 1t Will Not Re-
lieve the Country of Obligations.
William B. Hornblower of New York. in
an Interview. removes the impression that
war is at all likely to follow the action OF
this government. in recognizing the bel
iigerency of the Cubans. Said Mr.. Horn
blower:
''The mere recognition of belligerent rights
on the part Of the Cubans would not involve
us In any complication with Spain. 1t is a
different thing from recognizing the inde-
pendence of the Cubans.
The recognition Of belligerent rights is
merely the declaration Of our opinion that
the insurgents have established a stable
government, and are entitled to all the
rights Of war. This was what was done by
Great Britain during our late war.
such recognition, however, would not
relieve the United States OF fits obligations
toward Spain in the way of preventing the
sending out Of privateers or filfbustering
expeditions In aid Of the insurgents from
our ports. We established this proposition
in the Alabama arbitration against Great
Britain.
furthermore, such recognition of a state
of war between Spain and the insurgents I'm
Cuba would give Spain the right TO search
our merchant vessels for goods contraband
or war. This is the only respect in which
our relations with Spain would be particu-
larly altered by such recognition, as far as
L can See."

that the Republicans leaders of Kansas
could in a few briefsmonths undo their
own work during many years; could CON-
vince the people that Plumb and Ingalls,
had been wIong when they carried q
Tree coinage measure through the Senate
In 1850; could bring their followers to
nelieve that Grover Cleveland deserved
the public gratitude for his Consistent
opposition to- free coinage, instead Of the
dennnolation heaped upon him in Kan
sas Republican platforms; could argue
effectively that coinage OF the American
product. which Kansas Republican plat
forms have repeatedly advocated would
wreck onr national finances; In short.
Kansas Republican leaders on the finan-
cial question for many years had been
utterly wrong. and must be unlearned.
That the gold-staDdard platform of the
national convention came within 5000
votes of carrying Kansas in the face of
such state record, is really more than
could reasonably have been anticipated.

CURRENT COMMENT.
APPRECIATION OFMR. REED.
New York Sun.)

On the morning after election the Sun
remarked incidentally that if Major Nc
Kinley followed the example of Lincoln
in 1860. of Garfield in 1880, ana of Har-
rison in 1888. Mr.. Reed would be invited
to enter the next cabinet as secretary of
state. This was neither nomination
nor suggestion. although some of our
friends have mistakenly Interpreted it
as such. The question Of the offer, if it
is to be made, and of the offers accep-
tance or rejection belongs exclusively to
Major Mckinley and to the speaker, and
will, no doubt, be determined on either
side by high considerations of patriotism
and public policy. Meanwhile, we are
gratified by the interest manifested nv
SO many OF our esteemed contemporaries
in the idea thus presented; and not less
SO by the evidence of the universal an
probation of MIR. Reed Is high Qualities
shown in the general discussion as to
whether he will be more dseful TO the
country as thesn Presidents principal
cabinet adviser, or at the postswhere he
now stands, one Of the mostscom1nand-
ing figures and most interesting per-
sonaliries at present in public life.

1t Is one OF the most improbable thing
IN the world that the Spanish govern
ment will seek to provoke war with
the United States. Possibly many of
the Spanish people feel that they could
whip the United States and would like
to have chance to try, but the Spanish
rulers know better. They are well
aware that one of the inevitable oonse-
quences of war with the United States
would be the loss of Cuba, for certain ly
II Spain has her hands full with the
rebels unassistsd she is likely to have
them much more than full with the
United States added. No, if Spain wants
to Keep Cuba she will keep the peace
with the United States, and if she finds
she must abandon it she is not likely to
try to cover up her discontinue by en-
ga ging in war with us.

TARIFF REVISION.

Opposition to the calling of an extra
session for the purpose of making a radi-
cal revision Of the tariff is growing in
the ranks of the Repu blican party. Sem
ator Mcmillan of Michigan few days
ago declared against any..hasty action. on
this subject, and now Senator Sherman,
who is about as radical protectionist
as the country affords, declares that an
extra session should not be called, that
the additional revenue needed should be
obtained through the passage of the
Dingley bill this winter and that further
tariff revision should DO ntrusted to a
commission of experts. He took this
stand before the Union League Club of
Brooklyn, and was literally applauded
Vfor it. ssThe fact that shortly be-
fore making his address he had-had a
long conference with Mark Hanna
gives additional force to his remarks.
1t does not certainly follow of
course that his sentiments were also Mr..
Hanna's, but unless he had had reason
to believe that the policy be outlined
would not be disagreeable to the next
administration it is doubtful If he would
have spoken quite SO plainly and en-
phatically.
The great advantage of delaying radical
tariff revision until the new Congress
meets in regular session will be that py
that time it will have been pretty clearly
demonstrated just what chan ges are
needed. The present tariff has been in
operation under unusual conditions.
Business has been depressed by the cur
renoy agitation, and hence it has not
been possible to determine with accuracy
just where its worst defects lie. Proba-
bly, 1T will not produce sufficient revenue
under any circumstances aud honce the
Dlngley bill ought to be passed as a sort
of emergency measure. But radical
revision can be undertaken with .better
prospect of producingsa satisfactory tariff
after we have seen the present
bill in operation under circum
stances more closely approaching
the normal. Furthermore there is danger
that the revival of business will be
checked before its gets under full head
way by radical revision i'm
mediately. No revision, no matter
how beneficent it may be in the end. can
be undertaken W Without for time intro
ducing many uncertainties in the con-
ditions of business, and state of uncer-
talnty is almost the worst possible for
business. Bad conditions that are
fixed business can to some ex
tent accommodate itself to. but
uncertainty brings paraly sis. Fur ther-
more the prospect of an immediate rows
ion OF the tariff would greatly stim ulate
importers to get the benefit of present
rates, and hence the market would be
ovorstocked ana our industrial revival
checked before 1t had fairly begun.
Senator Sherman's idea of q
commission of experts, whilestbeoretioally
plausible. has not worked very well in
practice. In 1882 Congress un-
dertook to revise the tariff through
commission, but most of the commits
sion's report was rejected and Congress
itself made the tariff in the old ways
Still it is possible that a commission
might obtain valuable information and

denounce all the accounts of the starting

press. Certainly he can hardly dismiss
the subject without some sort of an ex-
