yi.x. q, Gen. Lee and the English Press.

If there has been the slightest ques-
ton as to the opinions of Consul Cen
ora, Lee respecting the Cuban war
none need longer remain. his reports
to President Cleveland ought 10 nave
GOT NJ rest any doubts but he empha-
siyes those with recent statements to
the effect that Weyler's 'pacif1cation
is n farce. that the insurgents are
stronger than ever, that they are sure
" wearing Spain out. The spanish
minister is naturally indignant and
there is a possibility that Gen. Lee Will
be considered by Spain non grata IN
his present capacity. This probaply
would not be unpleasant to him, as II IS
said he has other fish to fry In virginia
and would like to come, home. Be this
as it may he has always spoken frank
w whenever he has spoken at all and in
light of recent declarations 1t is fair
to suppose that Senator Money, several
months ago, did not incorrectly report
Gen. Lees sentiments although ne
greatly embarrassed the general in so
doing.
The views of the American consul
general at Havana are well supported
by the views of the English press. OF
which the Times keeps a special cor
RESPONDENT on the island, who by the
way has always declared Cuba would
win. This correspondent recently said
that not single province is effeetually
held by the Spanish. The editor of the Ma
tiopal Review expresses amaZement that
the United States has not put direct
end to the war. There has never been
apv real doubt but that England in our
place would have interfered long ago
Nor is it to be doubted that England
would very much like to see us lay the
tariff on the shelf and have it out over
the Cuban question. Meanwhile her
manufacturers could go on quitting our
markets WIN tIlelT SopuS. iiV NJ
view, however, expresses some sensible
opinions and says: There is ineompar-
ably more suffering in Cuba than in
Crete. Spain has demonstrated erinca-
pacity to subdue the insurrection, and
has thereby forfeited all moral right to
hold the island. The United States have
had perfectly free hand to suppress a
scandal at their very doors
We take exceptions to the opinion
that our government has a perfectly
free hand. There's no more reason to-
day for recognizing the Cuban insur-
gents or forcbly interfering than there
was six months ago. There is every
reason that there should be an end to
tariff uncertainty and Congress that
was called together for the purpose of
affording that relief cannot now do its
duty too quickly, and may well beware
of those who seek to complicate mat
ters with the Cuban question.

Where Lies the Responsibility.

There is in the announcement that

Indignation. When did the state of
New Jersey reiegate to a typewritist
he making of laws or absolve law
makers from the responsibility Of hay
ing their bills properly drawn? There's
altogether too much of this trying to
shift responsibility noticeable in those
who assume the emolumentS and dig
nifty of making the laws. But hold.
what follows may change the pcrspcc-
tive in the case of this fair typewritist.
one Of her admirers has thus been des-
cribing her to the New York World:
she is tall. slender, graceful, with
the loveliest girlsh figure and the love-
lest girlsh face. She carries herself
with the proudest grace, her head erect;
her beautiful white throat her sloping
shoulders, the perfection of her face,
arms and white hands charmed all of
the senator's and lobbyists last winter
That being the situation-for if the
description be incorrect we cannot ex-
pect her to sue for damages-we shall
agree that the charge lies against her
and not against the Legislature. OF

take the proper precaution to have her
