"a "lare aud freight" law enact,
cd TO suit the enemies of the rail
roads would not only bankrupt the
existing railroads, but stop pro
posed railroad extension. 1t is to
be hoped that the incoming logis-
lature will not be led by fool
advice to take q step that would
paralyze the railroad interests of
the territory" ,"--RCpU6ijcan
We do not believe the Legis,
lature should enact fare and
freight bill to suit the enemies Of
the railroads, but we do believe
that one should be passed on the
lines Of justice. 1t is an outrage
for people to be compelled to pay
and 6 cents per mile railroad
fare, and its another outrage when
freight on merchandise equals more
than half the first cost. 1t is not
the merchants who loose this, but
it is the poor devil who has to dig
continually to keep body and soul
together, Let a just freight and
fare bill become law by all
means.

AN INVITATION TO DEvAsTA-
TI0N.

PREsIDENT CLEvEnANp's Cuban
policy, as it now appears can
scarcely satisfy either says the
Kansas City Times. By insisting
thatNyo do nothing at present, he
disappoints the Cubans, while by
asserting that unless the war is
ended we shall find it necessary to
intervene, he wounds the pride and
eXcites the passionate anger of the
Spanlards.
The effect of the Presidents
policy, moreover, would scarcely
be what he intends. Notifying
the Spaniards that they must end
tho war within certain time
would not be likely to mitigate the
evils of war there. Its natural
effect would be to stimulate the
Spaniards to use every means in
their power to crush the Cubans.
To insist, therefore, that we re-
main idle for the present, but will
interfere if tho war continues,
means that we overlook the present
outrage and encourage Spain to do
her utmost in that line to burn,
ravage, kill and torture. If in,
humanity proves Intellectual to sub
due the Cubans we will go to theil
aid.
Such a policy is not consistent
Iftho present devastation Of The
island does not justify our inter
yention, why should future de
vastation justify it? And if The
outrages now beng committed are
so terrible that we may hereafter
make up our minds to stop them
why should we, by putting limi
on our patience, spur Spain on tt
worse outrages? Evidently either
an out and out pro-Spanish or al
unequivocable Cuban policy
would be more consistent anC
more humane.
