snnin,s OHer to cuba.

An outline OF he reforms which Spain
intends to offer Cuba has been published in
our dispatches. If Spain thinks Cuba
viii accept hcr offer she is mistaken. Gu
ba Will not accept them because she does
not believe they would be carried out in
good faith and because, if carried out,
Cuba would still be the slave of Spain.
What is it that Spain offers to cuba?
theoretically very little, practically moth
ing. Spain would sdll be in a position to
dominate and control Cuba in every par
ticular and to impose taxes so heavy
that all the earnings of the Cubans would
find their way into Spains pocket.
If the Cubans have any chance of gain
ing their independence they would be fool
ish to accept the terms offered and aban-
don the war. They know that Spain
would offer them nothing if she didn't
doubt her ability to re-esta blish her au-
tnority in the island. The fear of losing
all is what has induced her to make con-
cessions.
The Cubans have not been reduced to a
condition that is calculated to make them
doubt their ability to succeed. On the
contrary, they have good reasons for
thinking that their cause Will finally tri-
umph. They can maintain their armies
in the field for a long time to come. They
are not in need of men. They want arms
and ammunition. If they had all the guns
and cartridges they need they could drive
the Spaniards Off the island It is, Of
course, difficult to get supplies of guns
and ammunition to them, but that diff
Guilty has heretofore been overcome to a
considerable extent and it will continue
to be overcome.
1t looks as If the Cubaus could hold
out longer than the Spaniards. If the
Cubans can continue the war the chances
are they win succeed.
We do not believe the Cuban leaders
have any idea of accepting the terms
which Spain offers. or any other terms
If Spain should grant Cuba such au-
tonomy as Canada enjoys, the Cubans
might think of accepting it, but If they
should accept the sham home rule which
Spain offers they would be- but little, if
any better off than they were before they
took up arms for independence

prefer it. The working people themselves
would object to such pubic places being
thrown open to dirty and greasy people

The Senate has grievance against
Richard Croker of New York lie has
offended against senatorial dignity. When
people go into gallery of the Senate, it
is the presumption that it is their desire
to hear what the learned senators have to
say. If the presumption should prove in
correct-if the visitor shoulde not care
three straws about what is being said
the senators insist that nobody except the
foolish visitor shall know anything about
it. TO that end rules have been adopted
which require rigid decorum in the gal
ieries. Visitors may not do anything ex-
cept watch and listen to the senators, upon
pain of being requested to get out. The
other day Mr.. Croker and two friends un-
folded newspapers in a Senate gallery, and
began to read. Senatorial dignity almost
had fit. A messenger, however, relieved
the situation by informing the visitors of
the rules, and they took their papers and
went out.

A New Cnbinet Omccr.

1t is stated that it is the purpose of Mai.
Mckinley. early in his administration to
recommend the creation of new depart
ment. to be known as the department of
trade and commerce. The new cabinet Of
ticer would have charge of foreign COM
merce and one of his duties would be to
recommend such legislation as would pro-
mote the American shipping industry, with
the view of restoring the country to the
position it once occupied in respect to ship
ping
1t may be that such a department is
needed. The Chamber of Commerce of New
York has recommended the creation of
a department OF that kind many
times. But is it wise thing
to do to make the cabinet any
larger than il is at present? II we have a
department Of commerce and trade, why
not one of mines and mining and one of
mills and manufacturing? If we keep on
creating a department for each interest
and industry it will not be long before we
shall have a cabinet so big that it will be
unwieldy. 1t will want to hold daily ses-
sions, discuss every matter likely to come
before congress, and probably dictate to
congress. 1t is a very easy matter to sug-
gest ways for increasing the number of
ohicehoiders and much easier TO find men
to fill them. 1t would be a good thing for
the country if there were fewer officehod-
ers. We are not sure it wouldn't be good
thing to cut down the number of repre-
sentatives in congress at least one-third.
II the heads of the departments could be
brought into closer relations with con
gress good might result. Between the
cabinet and congress there is now very
little sympathy. If the heads OF the de-
partments had seats in congress- so they
could furnish information promptly when
matters relating to their respective de-
partments were under consideration, a
great many mistakes might be avoided.
The average congressman is a bright and
capable man. but his lack of knowledge
of the details of government affairs is
something appalling
