INTERFERING WITH OUR COM
MERGE

In his eagerncss TO annoy the people of
the United States, on account OF their
sympathy with the Cuban insurgents, and
especially the Cigarma kers in Florida, who
contribute liberally of their means to the
patriot cause, Gen. Weyler has overstcpped
the bounds OF prudence. In other words,
ne has put his foot i'll it," His decree
forbiiding the expectation of leaf tobacco
after ten days from the date of his edict.
would seriously affect the business and
pecuuiary interests of a large number OF
citizens and reside ents of the United States,
VITO have large quantities of leaf tobacco
engaged in Cuba, and already paid for,
which it is impossible to get out of the
island within the period set down in Wey-
Ier's decree. If the cdict is allowed To re-
main in force, 1t will amount to a coDfisca-
ton of this tobacco, amounting to 81 ,50O,-
600 i'll value.
Secretary Olney's energetic protest
against so summary proceeding viii no
doubt result i'll the issuing Of orders from
Madrid. resembling or materially modify
ing the edict. But in the present juncture
of affairs, this is not enough. The Spa n
ish government, so far, is at peace with
ours; it has moreover declared, not once,
but many times. that a state of war does
not exist in Cuba. Such interference,
therefore, with the commerce OF a nation
with whom another is at peace, as is ill.,
volved in Weyler's decree, is unpreCc-
deuted, and no less would be any action
OH his part, having the sanction of the
home government, which would seek IN
any way to circUmscribe or hinder the COM
mercial transactions Of any portion OF
our people.
Against such policy on the part of Spain
the sternest retaliation would be in order,
and it is to be hoped that there is good
foundation for the report that in tie event
of Spain showing a disposition to disre-
gard international usage, joint resolution
will be promptly introduced and passed
in Congress, authorizing or directing the
President to prohibit the Importation Of
Cuban cigars or manufactured tobacco in
any form. This would be au American
Roland for a Spanish Oliver, which would
probably bring somebody to reason.

HEROIC TREATMENT NEEDED.


A painful impression is gaining ground
that the District triocracy is afflicted with
a severe attack of wiromania. 1t is feared
that everything they eat and drink has
wiry taste; That waxing they see nothing
but wires and sleeping dream of nothing
else. The disease has manifested itseir
i'll its most aggravated phases. its latestap-
pearance being specially viruient. Ever
since Mr. Truesdell disposed of his Ecking-
ton light plant to the Potomac Light ana
Power Company one attack has rapidly
succeeded another. The first spell was
cured by the supreme court OF the Dis1rict'
the next by Congress, but tbird mas inaae
its appearance now. This time the over
head wire bogy is running along the un-
graded streets of Columbia Heights, and
the citizens of that section, who have had
a good deal of annoyance from previous
visitations, are getting to the point where
they think some more heroic remedy than
any yet tried should be applied to the trio
cratic distemper.
People are beginning to ask what per-
sonal interest have the Commissioners In
President Bailinger of the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association declares that fresi-
dent Crosby of the Potomac Power Com
pany has assured them that he does not
think there should be any overhead wires
within the fire limits, and that not only is
the United States Electric Lighting Com
pany ready TO lay down conduits in that

asking for the privilege of being permitted
to do so. Thus IL would seem that nobody
wants or is asking for overhead wires
except the Commissioners, and the nat
ural and reasonable inference is that they
must have some Interior object. Upon no
other hypothesis can their persistescy be
explained.
What this Interior object may be it is
not difficult to divine. The overhead troll
ley syndicate, known as the Elkins Widener-
Dolan combine, has long been trying to gain
entrance into this city. In spite of the
compiaisant attitude of the Commissioners,
the vigilance of our people has thus far
been a bic to Illustrate all attempts to give
the trolley a footing within the fire limits
more solid than IL now has. The syndicate
is mpatientiy knocking at the door, and the
Commissioners appear to be as impatient
to admit it. 1t is this anxiety that has made
their attack of wiromania so acute, and
made the triocracy really dangerous TO
whole sections of the city. Complete re-
tirement from the pressure of public office
which must not be regarded as private
snap-would effect the complete cure Of
the triocracy and give the people sur
cease of sorrow. Something ought to be
done, and quickly, too.

STARTLED BY A SENTENCE.

Reports from South Africa show that the
sentence of fifteen years impris onment i'm
posed by the executive council of the Trans
vaal republic upon John Hays Hammond
and his four associate conspirators has
caused a painful surprise, the more so as
it is understood that it was pronounced
against the urgent advice of President
Kruger, who is said to have favored the
imposition of heavy fine and the exaction
of the word of honor of these men to engage
in no other Vaccinations against the peace
of the republic. The sentence shows how
intensely the Beers have been affected by
the attempt to overthrow their independ-
ence, nor can 1t be doubted that the Sc
verify of their action is intended more to
indicate their feeling toward Great Britain
than their anger against the immediate
offenders.
Whatever may be the sense of the Afri-
kanders no other nation or government
has right to find fault with the sentence,
because there is hardly one but would have
been far more severe in dealing with the
leaders of conspiracy intended to over
lllrOW Tic luutpchoShSS VI q pSopfc dIu
subject them to foreign domination. To
call the Johannesburg reformers anything
but traitors and cOnspirators would be the
baldest sort of euphemism. They may re-
gard themselves lucky to to have kept
their heads on their shoulders.
AT the same time it is more than probable
that President Kruger's far-seeiug shrew
ness will ultimately prevail. Having shown
their determination to inflict heavy pun
ishment upon enemies OF the State, no mat
ter how powerful the nation of which they
may be citizens and the government that
may see fit to interfere in their behalf, they
will allow themselvesto be persu AIDED by the
shrewd old chief of state to let mercy take
the place Of Justice, and will probably agree
to the lesser, but hardly Tess effective
penalty he would iuflict

London, May 22-T The House of Commons.

discussing the agricultural rating bill. After
the debate had lasted until 3l0 this norn-

president of the local board, introducer Of
the measure, moved that certain clause
of the bill be put to vote. This was done,
and the vote was challenged, whereupOn

Several members of the opposition re-
fused to withdraw for the division, aud the
chairman, Mr.. James W. Lowther, then
summoned Mr.. Gully, the Speaker of the
House. The latter attempted to induce the
reCacitrant members to take part in the
division, but they persisted in remaining
n their seats, as proteStagainst the niea-
sure, which they declared they regarded
as a legalZed robbery.
Mr. Gully then 'uaned" Messrs. David

motion, it was ordered that the House be
cleared. All the members withdrew with
the exception of alessrs Michael Davitta and
Daniel Macalese, members respectively for
South Mayo and North Monaghan, who re-
tanned their seats. The Speaker appealed to
them to withdraw, but they refused to do
so. Mr.. Gully then directed the sergeant
