The Cameron Resolution.

The joint resolution, adopted yesterday
by the committee on foreign relations,
providing for the recognition of cuba's
independence by the United States, will
doubtless be adopted by both the House
and the Senate. It will, in all probability
be the subject of spirited debate, and it
may not be voted upon in either house of
congress until after the holidays.
There is not much room for doubt that
the resolution has the approval of a ma
jority of the people. though it is pretty
safe to say that the business interests are
against ii. Business men are against TAX
ing any step, in any matter. that does
not directly concern the welfare of the
country which would have tendency
to disturb business. f
The resolution, IL passed, would I'M
doubtly be regarded by Spain as an I'M
friendly act, and might be regarded, I'M
der existing circumstances, as affording
sufficient reason for breaking off diplo-
matte relations with this country. Still
it is not certain that Spain would take
that step. She may not want trouble
with the United States. and if she does,
she may not want it now.
If the resolution should be passed Spain
would not have any ground of serious
complaint. The United States have the
right to recognize the independence of
Cuba without being charged with I'M
friendliness, and no neutral nation would
find fault with them for doing 50.
But if the United States should recog-
nize Cuba's independence it would be a
very different matter to prevent armed
expeditions from going to Cuba from our
shores TO assist the insurgents. These
expeditions If the war in Cuba was go
ing against her, would. in all probability.
be made an excuse by Spain for war with
the United States. The chances are there
fore that the adoption OF the resolution
would lead to war.
| Would war be such a bad thing for this
country? That is a debatable question.
There is a spirit of unrest abroad in the
land and nothing would so effectively set
tie it as a war. There are tens of thou
sands of idle people and they would well
come the changes which a war would
bring. In the event of war there would
be lively times for awhile. We are not
prepared, and would have to get ready
While getting ready the enemy might dc
us some injury, but we would soon be
in a position to take care of all of ouI
interests.

rhe south nnd the Mest.

Mr.. Charles Nordhoff, in an interesting
letter, published in the New York Her
aid, aud on which the Herald comments
favorably, says that if the south desires
to have influence in the union commensu-
rate with her importance. she must join
hands with the east. 1t is a mistake he
says, for the south to think she can
strengthen her political influence by an
alliance with the west. She made that
mistake in the late presidential campaign.
and she has made it on a number of other
occasions.
According to Mr.. Nordhoff's view. the
east no longer consists Of the few states on
the North Atlantic coast. The line that
separates the east and the west mas moved
west rapidly in recent years. The section
of country that is now properly the east
includes not only the North Atlantic
states. but also the states of the middle
west and the northwest-Ohio, Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota. Wisconsin and Michi-
gan. These great states are in harmony
with the North Atlantic states in respect
to the policies which should control the
republic. The political west consists of
Kansas. Nebraska. the Dakotas. Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Utah and Washington
If what Mr.. Nordhoff says is correct, and
there are good reasons for thinking that
it contains good deal of truth, the south
cannot too soon change her political atti-
tude and seek closer political fellowship
with the political east; for what has the
west, the political west, to offer her?
With the states which make up the Pc
litical west the south has no business or
social relations. or binding ties of any
kind. All her interests are with the states
which are included in the east. Why.
then, should she waste her influence ana
continue to occupy a back seat in the
union by continuing to be a political ally
of the west? If the statesmen who now
speak for her fail to see, or refuse to see,
the political situation as it is, there are
among her sons those who will do SO,
and they will become her leaders.
In the recent national election the North
Atlantic, the middle western and north.
western states stood together. in favor of
sound currency, and the probabilities
are they will continue to do So If tho
south should join them the south and
east would stand for low tariff and hon
est money because the souths influence
would be sufficient to prevent the adop-
ton of high protective tariff. These are
the things the south needs for the devel-
opment of her resources and to make her
great and prosperous.
What has the political west to offer the
south? What can she gain by an alli-
ance with that section, either political or,
otherwise? Nothing. as far as we can
see. 1t has nothing she wants, it offers
no market for her products and its poIiti-
cal policies, If adopted. would be hurtful
to her.

During Andrew Jackson's presidency.

clerk in the treasury department showed
a marked dissemination to paying his
board bill. He had signed notes but his
landlady could collect no money. In des-
pair she went to the white house 10 see
Jackson. Size told her story and he re-
quested her to get the clerks note for the
account. She obeyed and carried the note
to Andrew jackson. who. after CHANGING
over it, affixed his signature to the back.

bank and we shall see which of us shall
have TO pay you the money" The note
was duly deposited and was paid by the
clerk, who afterwards apologized to Jack

The wnr in the Philippines.

Our dispatches this morning state that
Philippine Islands. The information con-
tanned in the dispatches is of the most
meagre character. The inference, how
ever, is that the Japanese propose taking
part in the war between the insurgents and
Spain. What their intention is can only
be conjectured. 1t is probably to assist
the insurgents, and to take possession of
the islands in the event of SPANS failure
to re-establish her authority.
The latest advices from Manila, the cap
ital are to the effect that the insurgents
are having everything their own way in
the interior of the islands. On the coast
the Spaniards, by means of their war ships
are able to maintain their authority.
AT first Spain treated the revolt as if it
were of little consequence She thought
there would be no difficulty in bringing
the insurgents to terms quickly. Already
she has discovered her mistake. Addi-
tional troops have been dispatched to the
islands. Even these troops may not be suf-
ficient to enable Spain to maintain her au-
thority if, as reported, the native soldiers,
who form a part of the Spanish forces,
| have deserted to the insurgents.
Spain is in no condition. financially, to
carry on a war in the Philippine Islands,
and Cuba at the same time. She needs all
her soldiers in Cuba. She is making very
| little Roadway there. and If she is called
upon to send large force to the Philippine
Islands, she win find probably that the
drain on her resources is greater than she
| can bear.
These Pacific colonies are almost of as
much Importance to Spain as Cuba is. If
she should lose both Cuba and the Philip
pine Islands she would be shorn of much
of her greatness. She would cease to COM
mand the respect she does now, and it
might be different, if not impossible, to
prevent revolution at home that would
overthrow the Spanish throne. Clearly the
outlook for the future of Spain is far from
| bright.

came to be made: When Mr. . Brlen
drew up his will six or seven years ago
he left in it $4,000 to the university and
this to all appearances was the full
amount he intended to leave to the insti-

Bishop Keane preached a sermon. Mr.,
O'Brien was so forcibly impressed by the
