The "PogYam De~ffaneAs,fn Real Life.
People who are sensitive as to matters
of public honor and decency may feel
mortified by the exhibition which Sena-
tor Benjamin r. Tillman of South Caro-
linz made ON himself yesterday. Those
who look only to practical results win
appreciate that the incident is calculated
to do more harm than good.
The indecent element has of late gained
considerable weight in public life; but.
. well-deaned feeling of disgust has been
growing up against it. This, we think.
will presently rise up into a tidal wave
and sweep individuals whose passions
ana tongues are beyond their control
into the kennel of politics.
Tfllman's TRADE has done neither the
President nor Secretary Carlisle any
harm. on the contrary 1t is calculated to
excite attention regarding the virtue
and commanding abilities OF men. who,
being proof against all ordinary forms
Of attack. are thus made the targets for
mere explosions OF fury. Conversely,
nothing but damage can result to a cause
whose impotency is proven by the wan
ton, fransc malice of the weapons with
which it is upheld.

T.,a. b Yawn.

The Senate Committee on Foreign At
fairs showed some glimmering of reason
yesterday when it refused to grant bell
ligerent rights to the Cuban insurgents.
1t was truly unexpected that it should
display so much regard for decency, COM
mon sense and International law.
It could not help INDUCING. however,
in a certain amount of spreadeagleism.
Its reoues to the President TO make re-
presentations of a friendly nature to
Spain is a mere bid for the cheap hysteri-
cal vote which is swayed by howls and
is wholly stranger to reason. The in
structions are either dangerous or I'M
meaning. If the points are to be pressed
with any urgency they may evoke a re-
ply from Spain which will be notifying
to our national pride. If they are not to
be pressed, they are the cheapest kind of
%poppycoek. rather disgraceful than Gre
ditabIe to the nation and to the misrep-
resentatives of the people VINO have Civ
ensutterance to it.
The truth is the Cuban rebels nave no
title to any countenance whatever. They
are conducting their fight in a manner
only one degree removed from brigand-
age. They are wasting their own coun-
try. destroying the substance of friend
and foe alike, leaving the people to star
walton and the island to bankruptcy.
They appear to be saturated with the
true cruelty of the South American ma
ture. The reckiessness Of their campaign
new presages what the malignity of then
rule win be if they secure independence.
But. whatever the merits or dement's
of the Cuban cause may be, it is no af-
fair Of ours in its present shape. We
went to maui in our horns. We are taxi
irg too much on cur shoulders. We are
not wholly c!ear of Hawaii and Samoa
is always d worry. We are committed
to a strong position in respect to yene-
zuela: we nave resoluted aggressively up
on the subject of Armenia: our people in
