He Has Kept Faith with Spain.
On. Y. SUM

A signed communication from the
Hon. fernando De Soto Money of
Mississippi to the New York Journal
reports conversation which Col.
Money had with Gen. Weyler in Ha-
vana a few days ago.
Col. Money asked Gen. Weyler what
his opinion was of the attitude of the
United States. The answer of the de-
Nastater of Cuba and the unwearying
butcher of the Cubans is here given:
Il realize that the people of the
United States sympathize with the in
surgents, but with the administration
there can be no complaint. 1t has
kept faith with SPAIN
Kept faith with Spain? Did any
President of the United States before
row ever receive certificate like that
from the agent and instrument of an
ancient tyranny. striving to keep its
clutch upon the throat of a people
struggling for freedom?
Keep faith with Spain? Another
President of the United States. the
last Democratic president in the White
House previously to Mr. Cleveland
time interpreted differently his duty
as the representative of a free republic.
When Buchanan, as secretary of state
under Polk in 1S4S. heard the news of
the overthrow of the French monarchy.
he sent this message to Paris: 1T was
with one universal burst of enthusiasm
that the American people hailed the
late glorious revolution in France in
favor of liberty and republican govern
ment. In this feeling the president
strongly sympathizes,t Warm aspira-
tons for the success of the new repub-
lie are breathed from every heart
Similar messages of encouragement,
of sympathy, of true American senti-
ment. have gone forth from other presi-
dents and other secretaries of state to-
ward other peoples. in various parts of
the world. fighting for independence,
and looking wistfully to this nation of
1I16 as the great exemplar of their
hopes and aspirations. That is the
American policy: Godspeed to the
younger republics; warm hearts and a
helping hand for the victims of oppres-
sion in any part of the world. And
Weyler certifies that against Cleveland
there can be no complaint. He has
kept faith with Spain.
w Ildl ldItIl Will spain Ic hCpt
What obligation to the Spanish govern
ment has he redeemed TO the satisfac-
ton of Gen. Weyler? Last week the
Senate of the United States ordered
an investigation into the circumstances
attending the payment of the Mora
claim of 81. 100000 upon Mr.. Cleveland S
demand little more than one year
ago. The consideration for that sud-
den payment of a debt overdue for
nine years, is not yet clearly apparent.
1t was a great diplomatic triumph for
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney. but what
has the collection of the claim cost
Cuba in heroic blood and emancipa ton
deferred. and where did the Spanish
money go? And why does the Spanish
commander in Cuba now compliment
Grover Cleveland in words of admira :
ton and gratitude that leave a mark
like hot branding-iron. upon his
fidelity to promises made at Washing
ton and recorded at Madrid?

Massachusetts is in somewhat the
same condition of doubt respecting the
gypsy moth as was the town over the
question whether it would be cheaper
to pay all the expenses of it's poor
supervisors in getting a pauper at
tached to another town or to support
the pauper. That state has expended
$3.50 900 in four years of the gypsy
moth work and the entomologist esti-
mates that it will now cost to eX-
terminate the pest 100000 a year for
at least five years. then 100000 a year
for five years more and then $4,000 a
year for five years more, or $1,575,000
for the Is years, or an average of $780,
900 a year.

Shall the Government Manage The Pacific
Railroads?

In explaining the ways in which the
German government exercises control
over the press of that country Poultney
Bigelow in an article in the North
American Review for January says:
Il do not know the exact number of
Germans directly or indirectly sup
ported by the state, for the statistics
upon this subject have never been pub
lished; but a very able politician told
me once that l might regard every
other voter in Germany as dependent
upon government. In Germany 1t IS
the duty of officials to vote in favor OF
government measures, and in every
other respect they are expected to
Loyalty sustain the powers that sustain
them. The editor. therefore, who
wishes to establish a newspaper, must
be bold indeed if he attempt to make a
fortune cut of his enterprise while ad-
vocating a cause distasteful to the
government. Every official will. of
course. boycott him and he will be
unable to secure advertisements from
such as have any relations with the
government. When we recall that all
the railways of the state; all the eat
ing houses and drinking places con-
nected with this system are indirectly
government institutions: that the tele
graph and express service are managed
by the state: and that the contracts
for the army make up a large part of
the countrys industry. we can readily
appreciate the fact that the state has a
means of influencing the advertising
columns if not the editorial columns.
Of many newspapers"
Undoubtedly Mr.. Bigelow. when he
wrote this from out his intimate ac-
quaintance with German affairs. had
not the slightest thought of Il being
applied to the question of government
ownership of railroads and telegraphs

Evidence About the Tariff.

The glass and pottery manufacturers

the Wilson tariff. AS to potteries. it is
we'll known that the Democrats of the
Senate admitted. after their bill had

contracting parties promised that it
should be remedied in conference. But
the promised remedy did not come. and

The National Monetary Convention.

The National Monetary convention
now in session at Indianapolis is I'M
doubtedly helping to crystalize public
opinion respecting the different cur
rency reforms proposed. 1t is a con-
vention composed of sound money men
from the Republican party and sound
money Democracy. While it scarcely
is to be expected that it will formulate
any plan which will Immediately and
because of the conventions endorse

along safe and conservative lines. 1t
would be idle for the convention to
draft a specific currency reform meas

for the present currency system. and

allow some other body to pre-
scribe the exact remedy but it must
inevitably be influenced to not in
considerable degree by such a con-
census of opinion as seems to obtain
from that Indianapolis convention.
This desirable result will not be OBJ
tanned, however. unless there may be
practical unanimity on the part of that
convention, of which there is now a
little doubt. One faction wants a
monetary commission that shall ex-
haustively study the subject and report
a perfected plan, while another party
would have the convention adopt reso-
lutions, choose a committee to look after
legislation and then so home. There
are good features about both plans.
The information that might be COM
piled by such commission would be
valuable and facilitate matters perhaps
but the conclusions respecting what
