M,kINLEY,s CUBAN POLICY.

IF there was ever any hope of an
early realization of something definite
in the policy of the Mckinley admin
istration toward Cuba, it is now grow
ing very faint. 1t has been vague and
indefinite enough to suit the most con-
serative-and for Conservatism in this
case it would not be far out Of the
way to read cowardice.
There is difference between jingo-
ism and resolute national pride which
the President does not appear to ap-
preciate Had he been as firm as the
head of a great Christian nation should
be when confronted by such barbara
ty has been flourishing at our very
doors, events would have so shaped
themselves as to aneliorate the terri
BILE sufferings of the struggling Gu
bans and to bring a settlement of the
trouble on the island within hailing
distance.
Mystery still envelopes the special
mission of Minister Woodford to Mad
rid. 1t is said, and generally be-
lieved, that he bears an ultimatum to
the Bourbon Court from this country.
but conjecture as to the nature of the
proposal has taken such wide range
both in the United States and Europe
that no satisfaction is obtainable. 1.-THE
friendly mediation of the United
States in bringing the Cuban war to
speedy close" was offered more than
year ago and insolently rejected by
Spain. What, therefore, President
Mckinley hopes to accomplish in re-
newing this offer now cannot be under
stood by the people of the United
States, who have lost patience and
are eager for a more positive and forci-
Bile expression Of this countrys de-
termination to stop the barbarities in
Cuba that are contained in recent Dip
lomacy. The President is sufficiently
conversant with the country's senti-
ment on the question to proceed with
declared in its st. Louis platform it's
sympathy for the cause of Cuba. He
is, therefore, recreant both to his ma
tional trust and his party pledge in
pursuing a hating and hesitating pol
icy in the face of such a grave and
grievous situation as now exists in
Cuba.
The calling of an extra session of
CorS-tss to deal with the matter is
!, Unnecessary, and no firm Executive
would resort to such subterfuge.
| The assembling of Congress for the
avowed purpose of taking definite
action on matter of purely admins
trative policy can have no other effect
than creating alarm throughout the
world and Of injuring American secur-

Somerset, Pa, September 12.-This
morning the President and Attorney
General McKenna attended service at
the Methodist Church, of which Rev.
H. N Cameron is pastor. They were
accompanied by Abner Mckinley and
his daughter, Mabel, DR.. and Mrs. A.
j. Endsley, Col. Alfred Cushing, of
Washington, and w. K. Endsley. On
the pulpit with Rev. Cameron sat Rev.
]. H. Sutherland, minister of the
Presbyterian Church, who read the
One Hundred and Twenty-third Psalm
for a morning lesson. Rev. Sutherland
is an applicant for the Consular ap-
pointment to Jerusalem. Just before
the close of the service a great crowd
gathered on the payements over which
the President had passed in going to
church. But when he and the Attor
ney General came out they avoided the
crowd by taking different route home
Mrs. Mckinley, who did not attend
church, passed the hour on the porch
talking to several small children. The

tiles and interfering with business
activity by a war scare.
President Mckinley has all the au-
thority needed to bring the Cuban war
to "a speedy close" but what is lack
ing in him is the courage to assert it.

1t is the subject of much talk just
at present that the G. A. R. people are
down on Governor Atkinson for oppos-
ing, together with Mr.. Dovener, a G.
A. R. man for postoffice, and it is
said that this will inJure the Cover
nor's chances for the United States
Senatorship. But Gov. Atkinson S
friends need not worry about this
matter George Wesley Atkinson has
no more chance of being United States
Senator from West Virginia than the
man in the moon. And the same is
true of any other Republican. The
late Republican Legislature, "the
worst in twenty-five years." backed by
the present Republican State admin
istration, seals the fate of the Repub-
lican party in this State for many
years to come

which affected only portion of the
strikers favorably The proposition
was to accept or reject the Pittsburg
operators offer of a 65-cent rate. Coal
mining is conducted on so very diff

one rate cannot be equal for all, and
while the Pittsburg rate was the best
thing in sight, in view of approach

some and unsatisfactory to others on

AUSTRIAN rRUsr LEGIsLArIoN.

In the last batch of consular reports
was one by Max Judd, Consul General
to Vienna, in which is. given the full
text of the bill recently introduced in
+, the Austrian Reichstag for the super
Division of trusts controlling the price
of sugar, brandy, oil from minerals,
salt, and such articles of consumption
as are subjected to an excise.
There is hardly any doubt" writes
Consul General Judd, that other trusts
will be put under the same regulations.
1t will be observed that trusts in this
country meet with nearly as much OPP
position as they do in the United
| States"
If the Austrian trust bill becomes
operative and is rightly enforced
which latter is practically a foregone
conclusion-it may be said that Aus
trian opposition to trusts, in so far as
a wise control of those organizations
in the PUBLIC interest is concerned, has
been more productive of results than
the American war on the legality of
such combines in this country-a war
which as yet has been largely of
sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Many of the details of the bill intro
duced in the Reichstag are Of peculiar
interest to the people of the United
States.
The bill provides for government
supervision Of the trusts named; re-
quires official statement of objects and
trade and number of members COM
posing trust; conveys governmental
right to examine all trust books, pa
pers, etc. authorizes the ministry of
finance to invalidate and prohibit any
trust action calculated to increase or
decrease the prices of goods if injury
to producers or consumers is threat
ened by such action, the restricting
authority extending even to the annul-
vides fines and terms of Imprisonment
for trust officials failing to comply
with the provisions of the trust law,
or to furnish such information as may
be required on OCCASION; definitely
vests the government supervision of
trusts in the ministry of finance, and,
in detail, establishes such system of
supervision as practically to largely
overcome the possibilities of evil now
the most formidable menace of the
trust system.
1t might be we'll for our legislators
to study the Austrian trust bill. If it
is an impossibility to crush out the
trust system on the ground of it's il
legality, it should be at least advisable
to have some check on the rapacity of
trusts and some control of their bust
ness methods. A board similar to the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
given a supervising power over trust
organizations somewhat along the
lines suggested by the Austrian law,
might be found practicable. Such a
board would stand for the interests of
the consuming public and the indi-
vidual tradesman as against the trust,
and there is no question of the urgent
need of such a champion at the pres
ent time.
