THE FAIRBANKS RESOLUTION.
1t Opens "a Way for n StatesmanlilSe
Solution of the Cuban Question.

Boston Herald.
1t strikes us that the resolution of Sena-
tor Fairbanks, offered in the United States
Senate on Thursday, may Well be rescued
from the columns of exciting debate tele-
sidered on it's merits. We copy it below:
Resolved, That the Congress of the
United States views with deep solictude
the deplorable civil strife in the Island of
cuba. which is so destructive to life and
property, and which is embarrassing and
destroying the commerce of the United
States with Cuba. The highest motives OF
humanity and public interest require the
immediate cessation of hostilties and the
establishment of peace. And that the Pres
ident shall in q friendly spirit tender the
good offices of the United States to Spain.
TO the end that bloodshed may speedily
cease and that honorable and permanenI
peace may be established in the Island or
Cuba; and, further, that the President IN
a spirit of amity, tender the good offices OF
the United States to Spain, in an endeaVor
to secure the independence OF CUBA, upon
terms alike honorable and just to all pow
ers concerned. And If The President snail
be unable, by such friendly lntercesslon. TO
secure the independence OF cuba WITHIN a
reasonable time, he shall communicate the
facts TO Congress with his recommends
lions thereon.
We regard this as important, not only be-
cause it opens a method for statesman
like Christian and humane settlement OF
the Cuban question, but because we believe
il is the method in which this conflict in
Cuba must be eventually ended, II sense
and discretion are TO be brought 70 bear
opposition of hot-heads there. and still
more, it may be, from Spanish pride in
Spain There is always danger that the
folly of jingoes from this side may involve
the nations in war. and II should be earn
estly and carefully guarded against 1t Is
most fortunate that the President is rela-
BILE at such a junclure. and when the ques-
ton is properly presented on the above
basis there is little doubt that the rejecting
portion of our people Will be with him, Let
the government be united and firm in taxi
ing this attitude and ii is not easy TO see
how Spain can hold out against it, espe-
cially If the governments of Europe second
our appeal. which II may fairly be expected
the more influential OF them win do.

Mr. Johnson. lately banker at Logansport,
declines to talk about the affairs of the
bank. but does condescend to assure the
public that he has never had other than
honest motives and an honest heart. If
Mr.. Johnson were we'll advised he would
decline to talk about himself The pub
lie will hardly be much impressed by the
honest motives of man who engaged in
a deliberate course of fraud and forgery.
He has so juggled with the principles of
honesty and uprghtness that he no longer
knows the meaning of the words.

The action of the Council in overruling
the order of the Board of Public Works for
the Improvement of Indiana avenue is yet
the subject of hostile comment. There is
no street in the city which is in greater
need of Improvement, both from its condi-
ton and its Importance. 1t is one of the
leading avenues from the heart of the city
to the country. Over few streets in the city
is there so much travel to and from the
suburbs And yet it's condition could
scarcely be worse than it is. 1t would be
dangerous to drive over 1T at anything like
the rapid rate usual on improved streets.
Indiana avenue is the only important street
in the city which has not been improved.
After the policy of general Improvement
begun. it should have been one of the
first streets to be modernized. On one
pretext or another the Improvement has
been postponed until this season, and now
the Council, against the protest of those
who should be most influential has set
aside the order of the board which would
have made it q passable street. There
could have been no reason urged against
Improvement which could not have been
urged against the Improvement of any
street in the city But for threats TO defeat
one or two members of the Council the
street would now be under Improvement
and would in three months be one of the
handsome th0roughfares of the city. 1t
was different with Walnut street 1t is
not thoroughfare; the property owners
have been assessed for street improvements
and sewers time and again, and yet, be-

The journeyman tailors of New York are
asking that the House provision limiting
the value of clothing which tourists may
bring home from Europe to 800 be inserted
in the Senate bill, in which the figures are
not named The demand is a just one, and
should be needed. AT the same time it
shows that those who belong to orgsniza-
lions which ignore the value of a protective
tariff acknowledge its value when it applies
to industries in which they are interested.

the matter candidly will be inclined to sus-

permission should be given to use the
lawn on one occasion it could be demanded

to bear it's share of the burdens. The

assessments of railroads just as it found it.

other things the witness said: II do

Merle. l do not know where, but
think it was somewhere in Oregon,
but am not positive. Murtaugh told
me that he had not applied to Merle

There was constant stream of call

morning, friends of Merle, for passes
to call on him in Jail.
1t is said that Merle and Murtaugh
met at Cheyenne, Wyo., about seven
years ago, while Merle was foreman
in the machine shops there and that
Murtaugh passed through that place
to accept a position with railroad
company. Murtaugh, it is said, stop
ped at Cheyenne, and agitated a
strike among the employees of the
shops, and that the company from
which he was to obtain employment,
heard of this and refused to employ
him. 1t is said that he accused Merle
of being the cause OF the company's
action and that the two men had new
err been on good terms since. When
Murtaugh called at the Sunset round
house yesterday he spoke TO one of
the employees, which is said to be a
violation of a rule during working
hours, unless permit is obtained.

Wednesday evening, May H. the

funds to send a delegation to Dubuque

delegate to the Dubuque convention,
will preside at the entertainment, and

pupils, Ryder's orchestra, Hattie and

others. Grand Rapids Mich; Kansas

convention, and an interesting contest
is already going on.
The local committee has sent con-
siderable literature to the 242 delegates
who will vote upon the question at Du-
buque, and many favorably replies
have been received. The camps through
the state are also assisting st. Paul
