THE EFFECT OF THE CUBAN
RESOLUTIONS.

The concurrent resolutions originating
in the senate have passed both
houses of congress acknowledging
the bcligcrcnt rights of Cuba and
authorizing the president of the
United States to exercise his
friendly influences with the Spanish gov
eminent to recognize the Independence of
Cuba. 1t shows that we, us Il nation,
have not grown too dignihcd and diplo-
matte to be charitable, and too conserva-
tive to entertain and express our SYM
pathy for any people that are struggling
for freedom.
We can not undertake to say off handed
what influence this will have on the con-
duct of the United States authorities in
regard to the exercise of the belligcrent
rights of the Cuban provisional govern
ment in the purchase and shipping of war
material to the island of Cuba 10y that
government. 1t is not law. \ law
would require the approval of the presi-
dent. and we do not know that it will
carry anything more with it, any practi-
cal benefits to the Cuban patriots. than
an expression of sympathy from the high
est deliberative body of Il great and pow
erful government. OF course it will elate
the Cubans and impart fresh courage and
intrepidity to their hearts and nerve
their arms with fresh vigor in their strug-
gle for n separate nationality. If it
means nothing more, it voices a senti-
ment of the people too important and
deep to stop just there. 1t means subse-
quent practical action on the part of this
government, if Spain does not take the
government to the patriots.
We desire to make a prediction just

THE MARRIAGE OF EN-PRESI-
DENT HARRISON

Mr. Harrison has won greater prize
than any of his competitors will win,
even the one that may win the presidency.
Mr.. Clay said that he had rather be right
than to be president of the United States.
A man had better have good wife than
be the president of the United States.
Mr.. Cleveland, happily for himself, pos
sesses both. Mr.. Harrison has been the
president and now he has another good
wife, which ought to be enough to satisfy
the ambition of any reasonable man. Mr..
Harrison has known his present wife
in the intimacy of family relations. at
Il time when the hand of atlliction bore
heavily upon him. Mrs. Dimmick was
the niece of and nursed the former Mrs.
Harrison through her last illness, and
if she had not been eminently a good
woman Mr.. Harrison would have known
it, and if she had not been good woman
Mr.. Harrison would not have married
her
We venture to predict that more happi-
ness awaits Mr.. Harrison in his home in
Indianapolis than would have been his if
he had again been made president of the
United States and had to be content with
that without all the tender and delightful
associations that such an accomplished
woman as his present wife would bring
him in the privacy of his home circle.
The match was by no means unsuitable
on account of differences in the ages of
the parties to the contract While Mr..
Harrison may be said to be ''in the scar
and yellow leaf" he is well preserved
man and has yet twenty years
of useful work in him. His
present wife is mature wom-
an, sufficiently intelligent and earn
est to participate in wifely pride in his
career and occupations, and has the ac-
complishments to be very useful to him

Lord Salisbury has laid the ovcrtures
looking to the establishment OF per-
manent court of arbitration before tins
government, according to Mr.. Ritchie,
president of the British board of trade,
and member of the English cabinet,
A permanent board of arbitration cs-
tablished by this government and Great
Britain will accomplish more with doing
away with war than any other one
thing or perhaps all other negotiations
combined. We do not mean with doing
away with war between the two coun-
tries that will be parties to the agree
ment, but war throughout the civilized
world. The United States and Great
Britain combined are not only the great
est military power on earth, but the
most advanced in civilization and all the
virtues that tend to peace. With such
n court accessible or Offering its services
to settle the disputes of other nations,
none of them would dare to go to war
without submitting their ground of diff
ference TO this court of arbitration. All
the civilized nations have become more
amenablc to public sentiment as cX-
pressed by contemporary nations and if
England and the United States would
declare war unreconcilable with enlight-
ened progress it would have a pacific eff

tive Democrats that if the free silver ele-
ment in the Democratic party in William
son county push this thing to an issue
that the Populists in this judicial and
senatorial district will 20 in and win.
These Williamson county free silver
Democrats can Of course do as they
please about this matter, but it seems
to MS that il would be very much like "a
mans cutting off his nose to spite his
face" AS the old adage has it. County
and district officials can have no influence
whatever in the settlement of free coin
age. and if Democrats have any desire
to preserve the organization of the Dem
ocratic party and put Democrats rather
than Populists in these offices, then the
Williamson county free slyerites are
pursuing a very unwise and party sui
cdal course, and it may be well for them
to pause and consider this matter

THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF
GREER COUNTY

Everything is in badly demoralizcd
condition in Greer county as n result of
the federal supreme court decision. The
courts have closed and the jurics have
been dismissed, all county business sus-
pended and the hundred or more schools
of the county closed. A number of
prisoners in the county Jail are moving
TO gain their freedom by habeas corpus,
and several weddings have been put off
because of the inability of the parties to
obtain licenses. Everything is in state
of suspension, awaiting the action of
congress, and many men who have large
interests fear they will be ruined unless
congressional relief comes speedily
Coleman Voice.
Texas losing Greer county is the result
of demagogic war upon corporations.
In this instance it was begun in the
Twentieth legislature by Mr.. w. H..
Harrison of Waco, who made war upon
the Day Land and Cattle company and
the Francklyn Land and Cattle COM
pany, both having located Texas land
script in that county and established
ranches there. He and others who were
backing him were warned that il would
result in having the matter carried into
the courts, in which event they were
plainly and emphatically told Texas
would lose the territory. They were also
told that if Texas would so ahead. issue
her land certificates and quietly settle up
the country no effort would ever be made
TO dispossess her of the territory. The
insane war upon the two cattle compa-
mics, however, continued and the result
has been as foretold eight or ten years
ago. Mr.. Harrison was rewarded for
his effort with Il special place in the at
torney generals office under Attorney
General Hogg and Texas lost Greer
county. Besides this the question was
unnecessarily stirred up by few TeXa,
congressman to win little cheap rcputa,
ton, and so it goes. Texas has lost
valuable territory.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-04-09

here that perhaps at present will re-
ceive very little endorsation from popular
opinion. and that is, that Spain will take
the hint and offer terms of settlement
that will finally shape into treaty or
agreement by which the Cubans will get
all they want.
The most accomplished diplomats Of
Spain have turned up heaven and earth
to prevent this action on the part of con-
gress and the vigor with which they
have attempted to ward off the blow
from Spain shows conclusively that they
considered that it would be a heavy blow
to that country and highly discouraging
to the continued control of Cuba by that
kingdom. They never would have made
such efforts to ward it off if they had
not known that its Importance would
seriously impair their hold upon the
island of Cuba, and our prediction is that
Spain will comply with the request of
congress 20 acknowledge the indcnd-
ence of Cuba even before that request
is made by the president, or whether or
not he makes the request.
The Spanish authorities know very well
that these resolutions mean the assur-
ance by the people of the United States
to the Cuban patriots, that they will see
them safely through their struggle for
emancipation from Spanish thralldom,
wiggle and twist through the devious and
complex ways of diplomacy, they will
vhever consent to see this expression of
sympathy bud into open flower. Spain
can not afford to go to war with the
United States. 1t has tried in vain to
excite European and continental SYM
pathy and has invariably been subjected
to the cold shoulder of even the govern
mcnts who have colonial possessions on
this continent.
Then, too, the recent hearty approval
of the suggestions of Diaz for consolidat-
ed action of South American republics by
these governments is an unexpected and
additional notice to Spain of a sentiment
so universal and powerful on this side of
the water, that it dwarfs the Monroe
doctrine of the United States. While
the population of Spain has lost the
chivalry that drove the Moors from the
Alhambra, and while the leaden pail of
ignorance has settled upon them, the
statesmen of Spain equal any in ability
and they will never permit the enthu-
sasms of an ignorant populace to involve
that kingdom in Il war with the United
States. They will use all their genius of
diplomacy to avoid the humiliation of
surrendering Cuba to the patriots who
are now struggling to throw off the yoke,
but the first shot from Il man-of-war
flying the stars and stripes would be
answered by their hauling down the olive
flag of Spain and running up to the mast
head, the white flag of surrender Mark
the prediction, Spain will acknowledge
the independence of Cuba rather than
risk war with the United States.
