On Saturday next occurs the great

will be run at Portland, and is attract

One remarkable coincidence in connec-

these two giants is the fact that both
are about the same age, and, strange to
say, were born in the town Of Nan

bad bargain, and get off as lightly as
possible.
1t is the most natural thing that Spain,
therefore, should turn to Great Britain
with an effort to sell the island of Cuba.
In this move Spain has many old scores
to pay off. She sold Louisiana when she
found she could no longer rule it. She
has not the kindest feeling toward the
United States because of the sympathy
so unanimously expressed here for the
Cuban insurgents, and by such sale she
could pay back to Great Britain in part
the gold she has borrowed and at the
same time bring the liberty-loving peo-
pie of the island under a foreign power
little less oppressive than her own.
1t is plain that Spain now wants to
sell. 1t is equally plain that Great
Britain would cheerfully buy if she dared.
Such negotiation would be diametri-
cally opposed to American institutions.
The situation is by no means pleasant to
contem plate.

The Chances for statehood.

1t is indeed dispiriting that at the very
moment that the the Democrats and Re
publicaus of New Mexico appear to be
ready to put aside partisan differences
and to join forces in urging upon our
delegate in congress the necessity of
amending certain Objectionable features
of his bill, as originally framed, in order
to secure unqualified support in the cause
of statehood, we should receive word
from Washington that Speaker Reed has
declared his hostility toward the admis-
sion of any new states.
Because it is true that political ex-
pediency or the probable effect upon
general legislation has usually acted to
retard or to hasten the granting of state
hood to the territories in the past, the
narrowness of party majorities has been
held out to both sides as reason why
New Mexico should be admitted. With
Speaker Reed, however, the objection
seems to be geographical, inferring as he
does, that the silver forces in Washington
would alone be the gamers. 1t is we'll
known that Reed is strong believer in the
necessity of maintaining specie payments
in gold, but, since he has been recog-
nized as an avowed candidate for the
presidential nomination, he has been
shrewd enough to observe remarkably
discreet silence upon topics of public in
terest, with the hope of avoiding the
antagonlsm of those with whom he diff
fered at heart. When it was given out
some time ago that Reed was opposed to
the admission of the territories, the re-
port was not generally credited, because
it was not considered to be up to Reeds
standard of political sagacity, and from
the mouth of a candidate it appeared a
costly and unnecessary expression OF
opinion. In the present instance, how
ever, there seems to be no longer room
for doubt as to Reeds true position.
The pitiable part of the whole affair is
that the Republican majority in congress
appears to be willing to bow to Reeds
dictate, and PA Republicans are to yield
humbly to their masters will. At the
same time the voters of New Mexico who
were befooled into voting for Repub-
lican delegate, in anticipation of his su.
perior influence in securing statehood
may amuse their quondam associates by
wailing and crashing their teeth at the
recollection of their gullible self.re-
acknowledgements Democrat.

APPROACHING A CRISIS.

Since Great Britain controls the price
of gold by Legislative enactment, and has
thus made herself the creditor country
of the world, it was natural that Spain,
in order to carry on her siege of oppres-
sion and slaughter in Cuba, should go to
England for the "sinews of war" Spain
has we'll nigh barkrupted her treasury to
put down this revolt among her subjects
on the island, and has utterly failed.
Armed with the consciousness of right
eous cause and inspired by motives very
similar to those which prompted our
forefathers to throw off the yoke of Brit
ish oppression, the Cubans have heroically
fought for their independence and have
won it fairly and against great odds.
Spain now sees the end. She practically
admits her defeat, and thus affairs on the
island take on a phase that is of allah.
sorbing interest to the citizens of the
United States.
Spain has been heavy borrower of
English gold ever since the wer in Cuba
began. Up to date she has expended
probably $75,0O0,OO0 as result Of this
uprising, and now that the crisis is near
at hand, and she sees defeat and loss
staring her in the face, why, of course,
Spain ia in the field to make the best Of

ExcuSable Interference.

A correspondent whose letter Was pub
Eshed in yesterdays Star entered a protest
against the interference of the District
health officials in the affairs of the Mary
land dairy farmers Unquastionably, as he
pointed out, the local officials have no
jurisdiction over the people of Maryland
and they can not enforce their suggestions
or regulations save by cooperative action
by the Maryland authorities. But it can
not be denied that Washington, as the
nearest market, has vital interest in
whatever affects the health of its citizens
through the food supply derived from either
Maryland or Virginia, and it is perfectly
proper for the local inspectors to inform
themselves as TO me sanitary surroundings
ana general conditions of the farms that
produce the main supply OF milk. Their
legal rlsht TO interfere begins. of course,
ohiy Wnen milk from sources known to be
Poiiuted or In danger of pollution is brought
into the District. The theory is unsound
that the District officials should not act
until the fact of pollution is male manifest
by outbreaks of disease in the District
traceable without question to this source.
Forehandedness in the matter of health
regulations is the best of virtues and the
Indignation of our correspondent will find
little sympathy among the people of thu.
Oistrlct II may be annoying to the farmer
to have inspectors poking around the Iarn-
yards or shifting down wells or looking UP
drains in the hope of nippins the disease
germ before it poisons scores of Washing
ton consumers of milk. and he has doubt
less the legal right to prevent any such
inspection by District officials: but he will
be shrewd as a seller of milk in the Wash
ington market who wishes to enlarge, not
10 destroy. his business, and wisely consid-
crate not only of the public's but his fam
ily's health, If he co-operates heartily with
the inspectors in removing every possibil-
ity OF disease instead of interposing OBJ

A Welcome Sign of the Times.

The convention of business men, repre-
senting all sections Of the country. which
has been called to meet at Indianapolis,
January ), ought to contribute something OF
material value toward solving the monetary
problem. 1t is directly in line with the
iabors of the business men during the presi-
Dental campaign and in fact is a sort of
obligation growing out of that activity.
They were most potent in the election of
Mr.. Mckinley and a republican House of
Representatives on platform declaring for
sound money and protection, and hence
they very properly feel themselves enlisted
for further service. Their suggestions thus
formally rendered should be and doubtless
will be welcomed by Congress.
This manifestation of deep interest in
public affairs on the part of those neces
sarily so much occupied with their own
private affairs is a healthy sign of the
times. The country must benefit when
those who carry on great enterprises and
study business questions at first hand Or
ganize to assist in the devisement of sound
public policies and in the furtherance of
their adoption and execution. Congress
could draw upon no better reservoir for
good advice. In fact it is the very self
same reservoir upon which the people fire.
quently draw for some of their wisest and
most useful public servants. The success
full business man of today is often the sue
cessful senator or representative of to-
morrow. merely transferring to the public
account talents which he has been employ
ing for his own individual account. 1t is
altogether likely, indeed, that of the men
who will meet at Indianapolis next month
simply to suggest to the present or to the
next Congress, some may themselves be in
congressional commission before the CEN
tury closes, and passing officially upon
phases of the very questions they are now
as private citizens considering.
The complaint, from high sources has
more than once been made that business
men as a rule take too little interest in poll
ties Some of the embarrassments of the
country, and much of the power and Of
fensiveness of party bosses, have been as
cribed to the failure of business men to
make themselves sufficiently felt in the
primaries and at the polls. They have been
accused of making, by their own inactivity,
the activity of the FOUNDERS and the plug
uglies count for too much. If there has
been any authority for this charge in the
past, the reproach will be wiped out If what
is now being attempted by the business or
ganizations of the country is pressed to its
proper and legitimate conclusion.

years as a useful public servant to his
credit. He has had large experience in
the handling of foreign affairs, and his
reputation extends to all the countries
with which the United States has much
to do. There is no authority for the state
ment that the place will be offered to MT.
Sherman, or that he expects or desires 1t.
If 1t should be offered him, however. and
he accepts it, the new administration, in
its premier, will, 1t is admitted, need no
introduction either at home or abroad.
Ex-senator Edmunds Is thought to pcs
sess the qualities and ability requisite for
the post. But Mr.. Edmunds Is in private
life by his own choice, and he may Lot
care for official life of any kind again.
He is an elderly edition of Mr.. Olney, with
plenty of legal learning, and an equal
amount of New England pluck and long
headedness. While a Senator, he was one
Of the most formidable men in debate or IN
committee in that body.
The qualifications of both Gen. Harrison
and Thomas B. Reed for the post are uni
versally recognized. but neither man is
thought to be available.
McGregor could not sit below the salt.
Where he sits must always be the head
Of the table. Mr.. Reed, 1t Is urged, will
be necessary in the speakers chair in the
next House.
And now comes an Interesting in
quiry. If these four men are eliminated
from the eoulation, what range will it
then take? If Mr.. Sherman prefers to re-
main In the Senate, Mr.. Edmunds In pri-
vate life, Mr.. Reed in the Speakers chair
of the House. and Gen. Harrison is barred
by a sentiment attaching to the great Of
flee he once held. where will Mr.. Mckinley
go for his man? The republican party Is
rich in talent for important public work.
But, has already been stated, the field
of selection for the State Department is al
ways more circumscribed than that for
any other department.; and when the four
very eminent men named are removed from
present calculations, veteran spectators
find it hard shedding.
