OUR CUBAN POLICY.

It is said that the new administration
viii not depart from the general policy
Of the Cleveland administration in deal
ing with the Cuban question. In other
words. that it will pursue a policy Of
neutrality and see that the neutrality
laws are enforced.
This is well. But the American people

American citizens protected, and this can
be done without ontangling ourselves
with SPANS affairs.

Of American citizens i'm Cuba are main

In one respect certainly. President Nc
kinney is wiser than Grover Cleveland.
for he is cultivating friendly relations
with tho lcadcm Of his party, especially
those IN Congress. The latch-string OF
the slde-door OF the White House always
hangs on the outside. and We note that
Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Quay and other distin-
guishod leaders have recently entered
through that door into the Mckinley
presence.
Moreover, Speaker Reed has been pla-
Gated. II viii be rccoloctcd that Mr. Reed

rison. and explained in his peculiar way
that the row was caused by the fact that
he had only two enemies I'm Maine. one OF

made collector Of customs at Portland
But fl is different with Mckinley. The
other day. we are told. Mr.. Reed called on
the new Presidont-through the side door
and these two had the incest little chat
in the world all to themselves.
IncidentanyLsuch things always come
up incidentally. you know-something was
said about the appointments in Maine
and Mr.. Reed went away with the assur-
ance that his man whom President Har-
rison turned down would in due time be
installed as collector Of customs at Port
land.
These things 20 a long way towards
verifying the prediction made in Tho
Times some time ago that President Nc
Kinlcy would stand i'm with his party.
Mr. Mckinley has the advantage over Mr..
Cleveland Of having had a long term in

or,,,r,c,r,oxsron GovERNoE

In Yesterdays Times We printed COM
nunication from MANY Citizens Oh
pr,s,o, Va. propounding certain ques-
,ions TO Hon. J. Hoge Tyler whose can
didacy for the Gubernatorial nomination
in virginia has been announced. The
first of these questions is:
"Do YOU favor making national ques-
t,ops. which are under the exclusive con-
troll OF the national government ls1ues
q, the ensuing state campaign!
Tho, follow a number of other quos-
t,ons as to whether or not Major Tyler
Is in favor Of free silver whether or not
no stands on the Chicago platform, etc.
The first question gives a perfect OPP
rorturitv to the free silver chicago
democrats to declare their purpose TO-
yards the Democrats. who stuck to the
cold standard and the old-fashioned prin-
c,,,es If the party II tho free silver
wing of the Democratic party intend TO
make tho Chicago platform and BELIEF in
tho free coinage of silver az l6 TO ]. the
test OF Democracy and TO ignore in state
rolitics all Democrats who do not accept
these dogmas, then a breach Is made IN
the party most unnecessarily and in all
probability Unsatisfactory. When the
Democrats who believe in tho gold stand
ara and state banks Of issue. under
which the sun light OF general prosperity
sbone on Virginia before 1861, are willing.
for the sake of the welfare Of the State.
10 relegate the financial question to
national contest, and the Democrats,
who believe in free silver and government
notes reject the prefers Of peace and in
sist that only thesiiver view shall be en-
tertained even in State elections, 1t Is
easy to see whence the breach in the
marty comes. If the olive branch held
out by the hand of patriotism is stricken
down. the consequences must be laid
at the door of those who deliver the blow.
1t Is folly to suppose that the men who
stood out against the Chicago platform
last November think any better OF its
doctrines to-day. or will fail TO think
even worse Of them eight months hence.
A matter therefore for the serious con-
slderaton Of the leaders Of the silveritos
Is whether the Democratic party would
do wisely TO ALLEVIATE these men in every
way possible. These men ask no favors
for themselves or for anybody else. but
they love their state and desire only for
her tho best government obtainable.
In 1900 the financial question may come
forward again as an issue. but it has
no place in the Virginia campaign Of
1897. except incidentally and for our
part We have no disposition to drag It in
by the ears.
The Times has no candidate for the
nomination. 10 wants 10 see the best
man elected and 1t is not material what
his views on the financial question may
be. provided ne have those qualifications
which are necessary TO make a wise. dis
Greet and honest Governor whose aim
shall be 10 deal justly. to discharge his
trust faithfully. and 90 promote the in
tcrosts Of tho Virginia people.
