THE RECOGNITION OF CURA

Tardy justice has been partially
done. The senate has recognized the
belligerency of the Cuban insurgents
at last. The house, in Withholding rec
ognition, has disappointed and grieved
the great majesty of American citizens
Had it concurred with the senate yester-
day, the American nation would have
once more shown itself to be the fore.
most champion as we'll as the foremost
example Of liberty and democracy. AS
it is. the action Of the senate is robbed
of no small part of it's moral force.
For this vexatious feature the Repub-
lican administration is to be held di-
rectly responsible. President McKin-
ley himself asked that the house delay
recognition. Speaker Reed is, as Sena
tor Teller phrases it. dominated by in
fluences hostile to the Cubans and favor
able to Spanish rule" 1t remains to be
seen whether the Republican admins
tration and the Republican majority and
influence in the house will long continue
inimical to the cause of Cuban liberty
and in favor of Spanish tyranny.
To uphold liberty is the crowning char
acteristc Of the American people. To
oppose all forms of monarchical govern
ment and tyranny on the American con-
tinents is among the fundamental prin-
ciples of our republican organization

THE ARMISTICE

| An armistice has been concluded at
the European cockpit, and the exhaust
ed fowls are to rest for two weeks in
any event, and to conclude a permanent
peace If such Is possible The specta-
tors have had most enjoyable time.
Probably upwards Of twenty thousand
men have been killed and five times as
many women and children left without
homes and compelled to wander in des-
titution. The Turk. coming upon the
stage of war with five men for every one
that Greece could muster enjoyed. of
course, from the start the advantage Of
knowing that as against unaided Greece
he was practically invincible. The result
of the struggle could never have been
doubtful. But just as the Moslem bar
barian, sustained and supported by the
imperial madman of Europe, had Sc
cured deadly grip upon the throat Of
the exhausted Greek, he was admon-
ished to desist. Here the ferocious in
stinct of the Turk asserted itself. He
desired a season of revelry in the en-
joyment CT destruction, in the presence
Ct human misery. The concert Of Eu-
rope tried moral suasion, but the &C.
centric kaiser sounded a discordant note
and the concert wholly failed. Every
thing seemed to work into the hands of
Abdul Hamid, and up to 10 o'clock on
Tuesday he continued to call upon Allah
to witness the destruction that he would
carry to the heart of Greece.
But the best laid plans of even sui
tans and kaisers fail to compass all
possible contingencies. At two o'clock
Abdul was notified that orders had been
issued in Bulgaria for the mobilization
of the army. This meant one hundred
thousand of as good soldiers as Europe
could muster, besides as many more in
reserve, that must be vanquished, to-
gether with the Greeks, before Hamid
could ask a blessing in the shadow of
the Acropolis. 1t was thus that the
czar frustrated the ambitious designs
of the sultan. A single dispatch to his
minister in Bulgaria accomplished, in
an hour, all that the concert Of Europe
utterly failed to effect. The sultan lost
no time in sending orders to his generals
to suspend hostilities. 1t was a neat
diplomatic conception, neatly executed,
yet it rather suggests disregard of the
higher humane sentiment that a rem
edy so very simple should have failed
of an earlier application.
The herald., 1897-05-22

contemplated that the government
should do more than provide 4 break
water to form a harbor of refuge and
Of commerce. So surely as this break
water is constructed, private enterprise
Will come in and take advantage of the
facilities offered. Even II there were
no wharves or docks supplied in the
outer harbor. 1t would be worth its en-
tire cost as safe anchorage for ship
ping. and all the coastwise vessels
would continue to dock in the inner har-
Dor as they have been doing all along.
So 1t is manifest that. in order to pro-
vide a specious excuse for himself. and
possibly with the hope of misleading
congress and the people of the country
who are not familiar with the situation,
Secretary Alger has conjured UP 10;
of difficulties that do not exist He has
magnified the requirements Of the har-
Dor project so as to bring the probabie
expense UP to an appalling figure.
The covert object of this is to raise
cry of extravagance against the har-
Dor project, and thus work congress for
reconsideration of the whole matter.
1t is a very sly and a very mischievous
We have only to wait little to find
that the monopoly press throughout the
country will set up howl about the
gigantic steal worked through in the
interest of Southern California. The
five or six millions modestly foreshad-
owed by Secretary Alger as necessary
to scoop out an inner harbor and to
build wharves, docks and piers will be
enlarged into ten, twelve or fifteen mil
lions as it rolls along. Demagogues in
cited thereto will begin to rant about
reckless expenditures and to talk of
Southern California with both arms in
the treasury elbow deep. In this way it
is no doubt expected that our harbor
scheme will be so prejudiced in the pub
lie mind that defeat in congress will be
rendered easy. and the action CLOSED
over with quite coating of economy
and righteousness. And Alger will stand
forth robed in white and ready for the
apotheosis.
1t is this sort Of a game that We see
clearly outlined in the secretary's let
ter. and which marks his action as the
veriest hypocrisy and sham.
And behind the white-robed figure of
Alger stands Mckinley, with a halo
about his head, and Huntington preen-
ing his wings.

A BAD FIRST EFFORT

The International bimetallic commits.
sion has fought the first round in it.
very friendly contest with the allied
powers Of the single gold standard in
Europe, and is badly disfgured as the re-
suit. if, indeed, It is not incapacitated
for further action.
There is not the remotest likelihood OF
Frances taking the initiative in calling
monetary conference until England
agrees to take part in such conference,
il it is called. While the commission
has made no official advances to the
French government in the matter of an
other international conference, the mere
fact of its presence on French soil was
sufficient to bring forth the freezing
statement from the premier Of France,
NJ Meline.
The rankest gold bug will hardly assert
that England wants another conference,
or that she will cauee it to be called by
consenting to take part in its delibera-
tions The present conditions suit Eng,
land very we'll. They were dictated by
her; she is mistress OF the situation. All
the civilized world pays tribute. to Eng
land through the operation of the single
gold standard.
There are times when 1t is eminently
proper to say: I'VE told you So" The
idea advanced by the Democratic party
in the recent presidential campaign was
strictly true. If the United States wants
bimetallism, our government must act
for itself, without asking the coneent of
any other nation. 1t was scant cour-
tesy for the French premier to declare
in advance Of official inquiry the policy Of
his government, but that makes no Diff
ference In the final result. He told what
everybody knew before.
The hypocrisy and double-dealing Of
the Republican party was never set
forth more plainly than in its treatment
of the currency question. Even at ST.
Louis it dared not say that the single
gold standard is to be preferred to BIZ
metallism, but 1t made action looking to-
ward the latter policy contingent upon
the permission of foreign governments,
knowing then that such permission
would not be granted
The same power that controls the Re-
publican party controls the financial poll
cies and the governments Of the great
nations Of Europe. The same power that
double-rivets the shackles of the single
yold s,t n ia rd llpon the A Anerfcan peonle
stays the hands of Christianity and hui
manity as they are raised to etop the
Armenian massacres. The same. power
takes the part of the Turk against the
Greek. The same power has sought to
s'tifie the voice of American sympathy
with the struggling Cubar's. The Money
Power rules in all. Surely 1t is time for
free Americans to assert once more their
independence.
