Under the new Raines law in New York
clubs are brought under the same regula-
tions regarding the sale of liquor as saloons
and are obliged to take out licenses. The
law has only been in operation a week, but
the court of appeals has already handed
down decision that clubs are not amena-
BILE to the law, as the serving of liquor in
them Is not sale but distribution of
property belonging to the clubs.

The House Again Votes sympathy for

After an interval of five weeks for re-
Election the House of Representatives re-
affirmed on Monday its position on the
Cuban question with an emphasis almost
as strong as it gave to its first expression.
March , the House passed by vote of
262 to liza majority of 245-the resolu-
tions reported from its committee on for
eign affairs, and it adopted by a vote of
245 to 27-a majority of 21S-the report
of the conference committee, which EN-
bodied the Cuban resolutions adopted by
the Senate on February 2S, by vote of "a
to s. Whatever might be said of the form
er action of the House, it cannot be fairly
asserted that this vote was not the result
of cool and careful deliberation.
OF the p negative votes IS we're those
of Republicans and nine those of Demo-
Gratis. Eleven of the negatives were from
New England and eight of the eleven were
from Massachusetts. Gen. Grout of this
district voted 10 as he did before, as also
did Arnold of Rhode Island and Boutelle
of Maine.
The resolution as adopted declaressthat
in the opinion of Congress state of war
exists in the island of Cuba, "and that the
United States of America should maintain
a strict neutrality between the contending
powers, according to each all the rights of
belligerents in the ports and territory of
the United States. And further, that the
friendly offices of the United States should
be offered by the President to the Spanish
government for the recognition of the in
dependence of Cuba"
The resolutions, being concurrent" and
not "joint," as already explained do not
require, under the practice of Congress,
the approval or disapproval of the Presi-
dent. They are, in effect, a suggestion to
the Executive of the policy which Con-
gress favors, and he may adopt the sug-
gestion or ignore it as to him seems proper.

Death OF an Artist Who Was n Native
of Vermont.

Theodore Robinson, one of the most in
teresting and promising of the artists of
the latter generation, died in New York
last week at the age of ~. Mr.. Robinson
was native of Vermont. He lived abroad
several years and studied there, chiefly in
Paris; he had shown a number of his pic
lures at the Paris salon, and was an exhib-
itor with the society of American artists.
He painted both figure and landscape, and
won the Shaw prize two years ago, at the
exhibition of the American Art association,
with his figure of country girl lying on
the ground in a field, in the summer heat,
which he called "In the SUM-"

1t is clear that the cause of free Cuba is
gaining ground entirely without reference
to the action of this government. Gen.
Weyler is succeeding in suppressing the
revolt no better than did Gen. Campos.
Dissatisfaction with Weyler is becoming
as pronounced at Madrid as in the case of
his predecessor. Spain has 125, 900 troops
in the island, and they are still cooped up
in the cities, while the insurgents roam
over the provinces in apparently undimin-
ished numbers and spirit. There appears
to be no doubt that in the main the rebels
have been victorious in the battles which
have taken place. Within a month or so
the rainy season sets in, when Spain's
campaign of the year must end. If the
government of Madrid retains its senses
the campaign will end then for good and
all.

him to comply with the many requests of
friends that he announce himself a cand-

about his party's declaration of principles

In the course Of the proceedings in the
House of Representatives last Saturday
Speaker Reed gave decision in which he
reversed his famous ruling in the 5lst
Congress, and declared that majority of
the actual membership of the House con-
stituted quorum. In the j1st Congress
he held that it required a majority of all
the members elected to the House to make
a quorum, irrespective of vacancies. When
his attention was called to this change Mr..
Reed said that when he made the decision
in the 5lst Congress the question came up
suddenly amid much confusion, and he de-
cided as he did out OF abundant caution:
but at the close Of the session he placed in
the Record a statement of his views. hold
ing as now that a quorum consists of a ma
iorty of the actual membership of the
House. Somebody suggests that this
change indicates that Mr.. Reed had rather
be right than be president. We hope it
means that he will be both.

with corruption and many officials are
stepped in crime. Public affairs have been
