IGNORANT COMMENTS

London Times Make, Itself ltidicuious.

LONDON, Dec. ALI the newspapers
this morning have editorials on Prcsi-

them RECORD the message as one OF rather
minor Importance. except so far rs It
concerns the Cuban question. 10 which
phase the bulk OF the comment IS de-
voted
The Daily News. the Liberal organ.
says OF the Cuban portion OF the mes
sage: President Clevcland's argument
is clear enough that no country possess
cs- the riGht TO foster n perpetual source
OF trouble and thdt Spain must either
grant autonomy or sell. Spain. how
ever. will probably refuse TO do anything
of the kind. Europe being very scnSI-
tive Just now on the subject OF the Mon
roe doctrine, Spain will probably be
inilucntlally supported II she holds out
We hope she will not prevail because
autonomy IS best for Cuba and best for
Spain"
The editorial in the Times says: THE
tone and spirit of the message are
worthy OF all praise. 1t Is n pity that

which Mt. Cleveland has just displayed
were not more conspicuous last year

question had been handled as Mr.. Cievc-
land now handles the Cuban question,
he might have nvcrted the disruption Of
the Democracy and have kept Bryan
and Organism In their previous obscu-
r!ty.
The present message gives tho
soundcst advice In the most
uneXccptional language, nor can the
least complaint be made OF the char
actcr OF the warning addressed to
Spain. II Is not improbable that Spain
will take orensc, but clearly Mr..
Cleveland Is actuatod by friendly feel
