Mr.. Hit never said thing more bright
or true when he said the resolution passed
by both houses Of congress by a vote al
most unanimous would be "a mandate
upon anyone but king" But Mr.. Cleve-
land is more than a king. He is Grover
Clevland.' Instead Of listening to con-
gress, instead Of being moved BY its
voice, he resents the interference of that
body. He thinks congress should attend
strictly to its constitutional business, and
let foreign affairs alone. Every speech
made in congress for Cuba helped to turn
Cleveland to the side of Spain. Every fact
adduced as reason why this government
should take some effective action to stop
the war and bring about independence
drove Cleveland farther and farther from
his purpose. 1t Is perfectly safe to say
that If congress had taken the initiative in
the Venezuelan matter and demanded APP
plication of the Monroe doctrine, MIR.
Cleveland would have found an excuse tor
ignoring the request. 1t is also quite safe
to say that If congress had let Cuba alone
the president and his able secretary II
state would by this time have formulated
the mediation and reform communque
recently transmitted through Senior de
Lone.

Change In the view. in the attitude of
mind, In the sources Of information sought
and given credence to, was noticeable in
the administration just as soon as congress
took up the Cuban matter. Before con-
gress "meddled." as Mr.. Cleveland puts it,
there was a sincere desire on the part tr
the administration to get at the truth of
the situation In Cuba. There was q feol-
Ing that the REBELLION had gone so far 1t
could not be suppressed without virtual
destruction Of the island. There was q
feeling that even II the present rebellion
were crushed another would soon break
out, and that permanent peace and order
in Cuba were impossible. But after the
"meddlins" of congress. members of the
administration, taking their cue from the
president himself. adopted more and more
the Spanish view. Where Sener Dupuy tie
Lone had at first found his way difficult
and his trained eye perceived great dam
ger, 1t suddenly became easy. All that
he had TO say was readily believed. 1t is
q lamentable fact but a fact nevertheless,
that at the present time the admlnistra-
ton view of the Cuban rebellion Ii that
the insurrectlon Is sure to fail; that 1t is
not supported by the Cubans OF wealth
and influence; that It Is participated in
chiefly by irresponsible negroes and ad-'
venturers; that II by any chance the re-
bellion should succeed Cuba would be
worse Off than under Spanish rule, because
negro domination would follow a military
government. President Cleveland has
come to the conclusion that with ipdo.

Last fall Mr.. Cleveland had determined
to take a hand in the Cuban affair this
spring. He was going to give Spain the
winter as day of grace, he was going to
hold her to the promise made by the Span
ish minister here to suppress the insurrec.
ton in three months. The president looked
forward to Cuban Intervention Of some
sort as one Of the great cards of his ad
ministration and he did not fail to cal
culate how much effect it would have
upon public opinion in the elections of '9G
His great fear was that congress would
meddle In the matter. Last fall when the
representatives of the Cuban Republic
came to Washington they were warned by
well-informed friends not to make an eff
fort to secure action by congress. "It is
the president you must look to for any ef-
fective action" they were told" and IL
congress NEEDLES with the question the
president will be offended. He will turn
against you out of pique."

CLEVELAND AND CUBA.
Wellman, in the Times-Herald.


Washington, April 26-There Is a strohg
feeling here that President Cleveland is
trifiing with the Cuban question. and that
his current attempt to mediate and to
bring about reforms in the island are pre-
destined to failure. History is now repeat-
ing itself. The efforts made by President
Grant and Secretary of State Hamilton
Fish to induce Spain to settle the former
Cuban insurrection by granting reforms
to the colony were treated by the Spanish
statesmen In authority precisely as the
present premier at Madrid is treating the
well-mcant but ineffective efforts of Pres
ident Cleveland and Secretary Olney in
the same direction. In other words.
Spain is insincere, diplomatic, slippery.
The Spanish government is exceedingly
polite to the United States. There Is moth
ing else in the world which the Castilian
diplomats are SO fond of as graceful COM
pliment sweet words and friendly express
sions. 1t Is their favorite way of throwing
dust in the eyes of their neighbors. have
information to the effect that Secretary
Olney has no hope of home rule being Of
fered Cuba. He does not believe the Span
iards will go that far. He is also suspi-
cious that the reforms which Spain ex-
presses Willingness to offer the colony
will ultimately prove delusive. In other
words, the statesmen at Madrid, noted the
world over for their insincerity and in
direction, are merely playing with the
United States.

satisfactory solution of the mystery. Mr..
Clevelands predominant trait as public

Lodging in a Rope House.

The latest addition to the curiosities OF
St. Louis is what is called rope house.
1t is a com binstion saloon and hotel.
Across the room the proprietor has arope
stretched tightly, and in front of it and
parallel with it is row OF ordinary
wooden bottom chairs. Every lodger,
upon payment of five cents, is given a
chair, and is allowed to sleep with his
head resting on the rope. They are al
lowed to sleep until 6 O'Clock in the morn
ing. Promptly at that time the barten-
der is required to see that every ledger is
awakened and made to move on.
This is accomplished by striking one
end OF the rope with a bung starter. The
blows have pretty much the same
effect as striking the sleeping boarders on
the head with a billy, and they generally
move on. II this fails, one end of the
rope is unfsstened and the sieepers are al
lowed to fall sprawling on the floor.
