An IMPORTANT EuLiNG FOR HE
CUBA>s.

.che ruling which United States Juuss
Morris has made in Baltimore IN the case
Of DIR. Luis, may be one OF vast I'M
cortance TO the Cuban Insurgents anu
,bev may come to owe their independence
TO it.
Tho ac, of Congress under which DR..
Luis was prosecuted provides that ~ any
person in the United States begins or
sets on foot, or provides or prepares the
means for. any military expedition or en-
terprlse. to be carried on from thence
against the territory or dominions OF any
foreign Province or state. or Of any col
ony. district, or people with whom the
United States are at peace he shall be
punished. sc. The point made by the
counsel for DR.. Louis was that mill
tary expedition" is complete thing in
itself. 1t is u body of men collected to-
gether. and organized TO effect a definite
object as an organized expedition. That
for a man to tit out a steamer with IN
attractions to pick up a man here and a
man there, between whom there was no
concert. and to ship cannon from one
part and box of rifles from another all
OF which, men and munitions, were in
tended for the use of the hostile party, If
he might choose to accept them was not
the case of mil Dry expedition" but
the case Of giving aid and comfort to one
side in a pending contest. Judge Morris
ruled that this was correct exposition OF
the law. and so instructed the jury.
1t is plain that this opens a very wide
door for the friends of Cuba in this coun-
try. They can send supplies under this
ruling. in any quantities. to the Cubans,
so that they do not allow the enterprise
TO take on the form of a concerted ar
rangemont amongst number of men TO
accomplish definite object in cuba.
There is no denial in the ruling OF the
power of Congress 10 provide for such
case-all that is held is that 1t has not
provided for it.
We are in favor Of this country living
up TO the letter and spirit Of all its treaty
obligations to Spain, and up TO all re-
quiremcnts of international law. But our
sympathies are with the Cubans all the
same. and if our laws. as they exist per-
nit their friends here to send them arms
and munitions. with which to expel the
brutal and barbarous spaniards from
Cuba. We shall rejoice when We learn that
Cuba is free.

Some Of the dntl-cCrpOIduon papers ai'
making great ado over the following
uttcrance from a recent address b. Tor
mer President Harrison:
Fivc-sxths Of the voters Of the coun-
try favor a revision OF corporation laws
limiting the purposes for which cnlpoI-
porations may be organized supervising
The issuing of stocks and bonds ana put
ting other restraints upon them. An
even larger proportion Of our people
would give their emphatic support 10
the proposition that tax burdens should
fall equally upon all property
They do not now. as every one KNOWS
Lands, houses, live stock, and implements
Of trade cannot be hidden. Stocks ana
bonds can be. and the assessor has no
way Of checking the list.
But what General Harrison says as
ahov, must be taken in connection with
what he SAYS further en-. We quote:
In fighting unjust legislation they VIII
have many dislnterested allies. There must
be fairness if the support OF Just ana
and intelligent men is invoked
We must remember;
First. that the people have not only
authorized. but invited the organization
of and the investment in these corpora
lions.
Second that the bankruptcy Of any
legitimate business is public injury.
Third. that We must take these things
as our unwisdom. or that Il our fathers
has made them; as TO the past, we can
do little more than mend.
Fourth. that the work OF reforming our
corporation laws is not for apprentices.
Fifth that corporation law should be
general; il Is neither wise nor safe 10 as
sumo that a particular case Is represen-
tativc one and 10 administer the remedy
promiscuously.
Sixth that in public affairs the best at
tainable good is the thing 10 be sought.
Seventh, that the legislation must be
just.
We can find no fault with these general
principles. nor with the first proposition
when taken in connection with the ex-
PLANTATION last quoted. We believe that
corporations should be restrained and
that "tax burdens should fan equally
upon all property" our fundamen-
tai objection 10 the income tax was be-
cause of its exemption clarses. making a
most desirable form Of taxation means
Tor inequality ana oDDTt7ol'hs
As to laws in restraint of corporations,
we have invariably held with General har-
rison that laws governing them must be
general. and that they must apply TO all
alike. We have also contended that IT IS
not only wrong and mischievous but an
alarming menace to the welfare OF the
country to attempt by law to break down
a legitimate business enterprise which
has been built up by thrifty individuals
working together either as firm or as
a corporation.
General Harrison IS evidently Of the
same opinion. ana we fail to see wherein
the would-be wreckers may find any COM
fort in his observations except by gar
bling his address. as was done in the case
Of the great Peoples Paper" Of New
York in editorializing on the first para
graph quoted without quoting the expia-
nation which follows.
