At that time we shall see whether the election
of Mckinley has brought permanent pros
perity. II it has, then nothing can overthrow
the Repu blican party at that time. If, on the
other hand, times are still hard and getting
worse, that will dem onstrate that his election
was a mistake, and the people will elect q
Congress opposed TO Mr.. McKinley's admins
tration. But for the present no aggressive OPP
position should be organized which could in
any way tend 10 -etard the revival of business

Pima Indians Have Not Obtained Deeds b,

The action of the United States oourt
1t Phoenix, A. T., In ruling that tho
Pima Indians are United States citizens,
does not according TO Indian bureau
viows, affect their status. They still re-
main reservation Indians, and under Of.
dcial rulings do not become full-fiedred
citaEens until the regular statutory re-
quirements are fulfilled and they re-
ceive Anal deeds 10 their lands, which
cannot be obtained for rs years after

about 1900, are not officially regarded
- In readiness to assume citizenship
obligations and rights. They are self
supporting, but live In primitive ways.
The decision 10 believed to be based
on the treaty Of Guadaloupe Hidaleo,

ton Is part, 70 this country, when
Spain gave the Indians the alternative
Of crossing into Mexico or becoming
United States residents by remaining.
Whether the decision is sustained OF
not, Is looked upon with comparative
indjferepcc, 1t being held that Indians
under the care Of government agents
cannot have full rights of citizenship.
The right Of selling liquor to Indians
who have been allotted lands In sever

Illegal, and cannot be legal until the

rHE COrf0x CONVENTION.

President HextAr d Lane, Of the
Cotton Growers Protective Assoeia-
ton, il also president of the Cotton
Growers Convention, now in session
in Memphis, and speaks very hopeful
by Of the future Of the cotton industry
as well As Of the effect of the conVen-
ton on the reduction of cotton
acreage. The object of the meeting is
to secure N agreement or concert Of
action BY the planters of the south for
the reduction Of the cotton acreage, 1t
having been demonstrated quite clear
ly by the experience of the past year
that decrease in production is fol-
lowed by corresponding rise in price,
being q logical conclusion which is
evident to all, and warning that cot
ton, like all other products, Is govern
ed by the inflexible rules of supply
and demand.
The increased price, following All in-
adequate, or, at least, not excessive
production, has had the natural ef-
feet of arousing the cupidity of many,
and threatens 10 give place this year
to an overwhelming crop. The con-
vention Is called for the purpose Of
checking this disposition, aud showing
to planters that 1t is to the advantage
Of all to unite in keeping the coming
crop within bounds. IL ii were posi-
BILE for one or ten or a hundred plan.
ters to put in an overwhelming crop
and realize big prsces Il would be ab-
surd to try to restrsinthem by force or
persuasion from doing so but If one
man in q neighborhood plants tre-
mendous crop his neighbor is not 60
ing TO be left behind in the race and
as with individuals, SO with counties
and states. The selfish but natural
argument that as no body else is going
to plant much cotton you will do so Is
threatening TO put the cotton industry
back 10 the point at which it stood
during the year 1894, aud unless
concert of action can be obtained the
fatal course Of an all cotton crop will
be pursued and all the advantages OBJ
tanned will be lost. In regard to the
effect on cotton in case of war with
England President Lane says he does
not regard such war as q possibility,
principally on account of the CONNER
cisl ties between the two countries,
but believes 1t would create an unusual
activity In the industry, as England
would try to obtain possession Of a.
much cotton as possible before war
was declared, and the remainder
would be easily consumed by the mills
Of this country.

The following Is the text of the
famous resolution that may involve Us
in war at any time with any nation,
and can scarcely be construed to mean
anything else than a practical gulping
Of the whole Western hemisphere by
the United States. 1t little becomes
us to protest against British greed and
rapscity when we, at one fell swoop,
swallow an entire continent and the
adjoining isles of the sea:
Therefore, be ii resolved, That the
United States OF America reaffirms
and copfirms the doctrines and prin-
ciples promulgated by President Mon
roe in his message of December 2,
1928, and declares that it will assert
and maintain that doctrine and those
principles aud will regard any in-
fringement thereof and particularly
any attempt by any European power
to take or acquire any islands ada
cent thereto for any right OF sover-
eighty or dominion in the same in
any case or instance as to which the
United States shall deem such attempt
to be dangerous to its peace or safety
by or through force, purchase, cession,
occupation, pledge, colonization, pro-
tectorate or by control Of tho ease
ment in canal or any other means of
transit across the American isthmus,
whether Oh unfounded pretension of
right in cases OF alleged boundary dis
putes, or under other unfounded pre-
tensions, as the manifestation of an

TIE GATHERING STORM.

The unsnimity with which England
and France comment on the new Mon
roe Doctrine, a. promulgated by the
Senate, points clearly toward the e.
tsblishment of an entente between
those two powers, and their mutual
discrimination 10 ignore il should oc-
casion arise. Prominent French news
papers declare that the effect Of the
proposed expansion OF the doctrine
may be 10 close European ports to
America, while those Of England claim
that it will have the effect Of declara-
tion Of war by the United States
agalnft that country. The situation
Is rendered still more critical by the
report that the island Of Cuba has
been purchased by England-a report
as yet unconfirmed, but which had the
effect of creating a great deal of ex-
element aud CONSERVATION at WASH
ington. lis claimed that the British
squadron is now moving toward Cuba,
aud that the governor OF Florida has
ordered the troops Of that state to
take the field at moments notice.
Why this precipitate actisn on the
part Of the government OF Florida
should be taken does not appear, but
the purchase Of Cuba, coming
almost simultaneously with the prom
ulgatien OF the Monroe doctrine,
makes 1t almost impossible
to avoid a clash, except by q de.
liberate and rather ignoble back
down. The purchase OF Cuba, If
true, is an open and contsmptu-
GUS ignoring of American pre-
tensions, and an act Of "foreign inter-
ference" In the affairs of the Western
hemisphere beside which the claim Of
q strip Of Venezuelan swamp becomes
paltry. 1t is practically notice to
America that England utterly disre-
CARDS and holds IN Monroe doctrine
In scorn, and proposes to pursue her
course in calm defiance of it. The
recognition Of Cuba a. an indspend.
snt state is now being considered BY
Congress-indesd, may bs said to be
upon the point Of declaration.
A long and fruitless effort to sup
pre-. the rebellion 10 about to re-
suit In Cubas independence. She
has practically freed herself from
Spanish thrslldom by force Of arms,
and the sale to Great Britain, II
made, has no PARALLEL In history. II
would be q great thing for Cuba, torn
by factions, blinded by ignorance, and
incapable of self government in . re-
publican form, to fall under the wise
and strong control of q mighty civil
lizing power like England or the
United States, but the United States
don't want the responslbllity-would
not have 1t at any price.
Nevertheless, there is the awkward
Monroe doctrine. No other power
must have control, and Cuba may OBJ
tain q so called independence only TO
sink into the condition of Hsyti. The
doctriue has Its inconsistent features,
all must admit, and President Monroe
has unquestionably left q heritage Of
trouble to posterity in bis famous prln.
cipls.
