The Presidents Currency Policy.

President Gle veland renews his rec.
concentrations for the retirement of the
greenbacks, but his suggestions on this
point are plainly of an academic char
acter. There is not the faintest pros.
pect of any legislation during the short
session in the direction toward which
he points. This is conceded on all
sides, and, indeed, does not admit of
dispute. AS an intelligent observer of
politics he must have reached true
measurement of the situation, and
though in his message he outlines the
financial policy that he favors, he can.
not have any expectation of its adop-
ton by the present Congress.
In one respect the President has
modified his position. 1t is now only
the greenbacks that he positively
marks for retirement. True, he pro-
claims his belief that the country can
have no assured financial peace and
safety until the government currency
obligations upon which gold may be de-
manded from the treasury are with.
drawn from circulation and Cancelled"
a taboo which clearly embraces the
1920, 100000 of treasury notes in its
forbiddance. But he adds:
Even if only the United States notes
known as greenbacks were thus retired,
il is probable that the treasury notes issued
in payment Of silver purchases under the
act of July ii, 1890, now paid in gold, when
demanded, would not create much disturb
ance, as they might, from time to time,
when received in the treasury by redemp-
ton in gold or otherwise, be gradually and
prudently replaced by silver coin.
Let us see what this means in lis
logical development. According to the
treasury report issued on the 1st inst,

out, while doing away with the green.
backs, would add between $40 900, 600
and $50, 100000 to the volume of the
silver currency, through the coinage of
the bullion held against the treasury
notes. Thus, the treasury would be
left with about 5000 100000 of silver
currency, floating in the form of cert,fi-
Gates of dishonest dollars, and 1t would
have either to sustain the whole of this
vast sum of unexportable money at the
gold level, or to abandon the task of
maintaining the gold standard.
There is only one way in which gold
payments can be maintained by the
government. That way lies through
the open door of instant redemption.
The President proposes to nail up this
door by getting rid of the greenbacks,
and turning the treasury notes into sill
yer currency. We express our opinion
of the proposal in saying that if such a
course we're taken, it would inevitably
lead to the forfeiture of the gold stand

A Free.Silver Stronghold.

OIe of the most interesting features
If the election was THE, that while FL
Paso went Tor sound money, the smell
{ district voted sUli,l y for flee silver.
Here is f cd for thought. TIE city Of
Ell Peso is a wideawake town. Her
people have the energy and progressive
spirit Characteristic of the white race.
The sm, l.er district is situated up the
Rio Grsnde, three miles from town.
The entire settlement is made up of
mud houses occupied by poems. With
the exception of few white bosses the
smelter employs Mexicans.
1t is safe TO say that none Of these
Mexican laborers can read or write,

that communities peopled by intelligent
whites did not give. The word "peon"
is here used in It's anglicized sense.
The term really means one whose labor
is bonded for debt, but it ia used now
to cover all the lower caste Mexicans,
whose Indian mothers of Montezuma's
dsy did not receive proper attention
from the Spanish cavaliers who fol.
lowed the adventurous Cortez. The
peon, ranging from the straight Indian
of the Yaqui and Cholo types up to the
semi-intel'lgent ones who have a splash
of Spanish blood in them, is the ele-
ment that piled no silver vote in the
smelter distlict.-Galveston News.

Ii Does not Satisfy,

That portion of the Presidents mes
aage which relates to Cuba, strong and
cogent and exhaustive as it is, will fail
10 satisfy the people of the country.
Mr.. Cleveland, of course, does not write
his messages with the main view to sat-
isiying the people of the country, so
the fact will not trouble him much.
Nevertheless, it is worth noting that
the great bulk of American citizens de-
sired something more than the lawyer
like summary of both sides advantages
in Cuba which the President has given
us in his message. Last Of all, we
think, will the country accept the sug-
gestion that the United States should
become guarantee of SPANS good faith
in case autonomy should be promised
to Cuba and that the war should then
end. The people do not conceive it to
be within the functions of this repub-
lie to uphold the hands of despotism in
Cuba. The crv is not "Cuba must
have home rule" but Cuba must be

DEMOCRATIC editors who sneer at
Mr.. Hanna because Cleveland, his
home city, gave only about two-thirds
less Republican majority this year Than
it did in 1895. should read the official
returns from Nebraska. They make a
sad showing of the Popocratic Presi-
dental candidates local strength. The
precinct in which Mr.. Bryan lives was
carried for Mckinley by 90 majority
the ward by 299; the city, Lincoln, by
1,019, and the county by 500. All OF
which merely proves what we remarked
before, that the real influence of politi-
cal leader is not necessarily indicat ed
by his local ST ength. More frequently
it is the other way.

POLITICAL.
Policy Toward Cuba.

Senator Sherman, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, is
quoted as saying that there Will be no
action on the Cuban question at this
session of Congress, and in this view
the majority of senators concur. The
indecision of the President is great
disappointment to Senators and Rep
resentatives, as well as to the whole
country. Had Mr.. Cleveland allowed
that part of his message to stand just as
Mr.. Olney, the Secretaryof State, wrote
it, or as it is generally understood in
Washington that the Secretary wrote
1.-THE document would have better
represented American public sentime mt
in respect to Cuba.
BY those who are in a position to
know, it is maintained that Mr.. Oluey's
attitude in The Cuban matter was as
aggressive and resolute as it was on
the Ven, zuelan boundary question a
year ago. The Secretary believed that
prescribed time limit should be fixed,
and if, when that limit was reached,
Spain had not re-established, or made
reasonable progress toward recovering,
her authority and restoring political
order, then the United States should
intervene on the side of Cuba. Many
sentences, recalling the bristling pas
sages of the Venezuelan message, hint
ing at an immediate policy of aggres-
siveness, we're eliminated by Mr.. Cleve-
land. Mi. Olney vaiLly insisted that
the President should adopt course
that would not leave the public in doubt
as to when action might be expected
and how long the war would be per-
mitted to col tinue and the interests of
Americans be sacrificed before there
should be intervention.
Secretary Olney is reported to enter
tain the belief that the insurgents have
the. upper hands of Spain and will ac-
cept neither autonomy nor anything
else short of absolute independence.
The. Presidents reference to autonomy,
and his intimation that if it is not
granted this government may be forced
to intervene, is very naturally regarded
by the Cuban patriots and their friends
as the. best of reasons why Cuba should
reject or disregard every offer or sug-
gestion Of local self-government, under
the overriding power of Spain. Cuba
has good reason for distrusting Spanish
promises and the Spanish government.
Under promises that certain reforms
would be granted the insurgents laid
down their arms in 1878. The prom
ised reforms, after some twenty years
of waiting, were never made; Spanish
despotism be- came more intolerable than
ever, and, the Cubans again sought re.
lief in justifable rebellion. So there
are two good reason, either of which,
would blone justify the revolutionists
in fepeiling any overtures based on
anyiproposition short of independence
as complete as that the American cClo-
nists.wrested from Great Britain.
President. Cleveland sent to Madrid,
in June last, an intimation respecting
autonomy, but beyond the formal ac-
acknowledgement of its receipt Spain has
made.no reply, and well-informed per-
sons in Washington do not expect that
Spain will make any such offer to the
insurgents.
1t is clear that positive action in the
Cuban matter will descend to Mr..
