The Register says: 1.-The Register has
no desire TO be harsh in its criticisms OF
the gentlemen who have been conducting
the financial affairs of the city for the
past three years" This 10 very magnan-
imous of the Register, but why doesn't 1t
show its sincerity by telling the truth
about these gentlemen? Why does 1t
publish In the same editorial from which
the above quotation Is taken, the follow
ing rntruthful assertion:
They say they would have spent this
sum for needed improvements but the
fact Is that they are 50 far behind, owing
to their own mlsmanagement, that twice
$4,000 will not now let them out Of the
hole they have dug for themselves.
Why doesn't the Register show up the
financial mismanagement? 1t cannot,
though repeatedly challenged to do so,
specify one single item of unnecessary
expense in the conduct of the city gov
eminent. Why continue these assertions
about extravaganza when they are not
true? If they are true why not point
out their truth with the evidence? The
Register has not made good one Of the
assertions 1t has made regarding this
matter, but some people have been led to
believe them, simply because they
haven't taken the trouble TO investigate
the truth.

The Cuban Question.

An Interesting symposium OF opinions
of members OF Congress and senators
shows a wide division of Judgment as to
the wisdom Of a policy OF Intervention
IN behalf of Cuba by this country, 1t is
stated that there is likely to be a flood of
resolutions OF a radical character intro
duced on the assembling OF Congress,
The most radical of these. strange to say,
are expected to make their appearance
in the usually conservative senate, while
the members of the house, as a rule, are
reported to rather favor conservative ae-
ton, and to be guided by the official in
formation and recommendation expected
IN the Presidents message.
It goes without saying that universal
sympathy for Cuba exists, differences of
opinion as to the proper course to pursue
being the main difficulty, Senator FL
klns is one OF the senators advising the
conservative course. The senator is
quoted as saying that the Ia should
act In accordance with the wishes of the
President, He does not favor interview
ton, but says that the President and the
state department are in full possession
of information touching on the Cuban
question, and IL the President recon-
mends intervention Mr., Elkins says he
will be guided by his wishes.
There Is little danger of Congress doing
anything rash or ill-advised in the mat
ter. All will be inspired by a desire to
bring an end 10 the war and the terrible
sufferings and cruelties of the situation,
and while differences exist as to the
method of going about 1t, 1t is possible
that a reasonable course can be agreed
upon. In the meantime. the Information
and recommendations that will probably
be sent to Congress early in the session,
touching upon the conditions in Cuba
and the status of diplomatic negotia-
ton, will be looked for with much inter-
est on the part of the public.
