Senator Money. has returned from Cuba
where he has been to inform himself as
To the actual situation there. He spent
most Of his time in Havana, though he
me e an excursion about s25 miles into
tbs country once. Now the actual knowl-
edge he could have gained under the cir
cumstances must have been very small
indeed. He could not have seen any OF
tho rebels or got any information las to
the whereabouts of their army except
through Spanish sources. In fact in
Havana This opportunities for getting
trustworthy information about the con-
djticn of the rebellion were not much
better than they would be in Washing
ton. Yet he comes back claiming that
there are some 5000 rebel troops in Fl mar
del Rio, instead Of none at all as Weyler
claims, and he is cookEure that the re-
be1lion will never he put down. Hence
forth doubtless he will pose as an su-
thority upon Cuba, as a man who has
been there and seen with his own eyes
and hence one whose opinion will be OF
great value. AS matter Of fast. however,
his opinion is of no more value now than
it would have been if he had staid at
home.

One can got good idea from Senator
Mills's speech in the Senate on the
Cuban matter how beautifully it would
work to have our negotiations with for
eign nations conducted upon the floor of
Congress. Suppose tomorrow some
delicate question should arise between
the United States and Italy-something
like the one that arose several years ago,
when some Italians were lynchsd by
mob in New Orleans-that called for dis
Greet handling, how would it be likely to
be treated By Senator Mills: We can
Judge from the way in which he treated
a rumor that Sianor Crispf, the Italian
premier, had deprecated any interference
on our part in Cuba. His attitude
would be one of defiance. as it was in
that case, and without stopping at all TO
consider the merits of the question he
W ould be sure to bluster about, hurting
apithets and expressing his soorn and
contempt in language that no self re-
specting nation could hear without
breaking off negotiations Immediately.
Now 1T is practically certain
that there will always be among
the eighty or ninety men that
compose the Senate, some member Of the
Mills stamp who would pitch in the same
as he did swhenever a controversy arose
with foreign nation. There probably
would he good many mem bers who
would do that thing. It is very obvious
thar after day Of this kind of talk
there would be little chance of settling
the question, no matter how insignif-
cant it might be without an appeal to
arms, unless the other nation was so
weak that she could not afford to resent
our insults. No better device can be
imagined to embroil the United States
with other nations than the introduction
of foreign questions into the Senate OF
House. What are the constitutional
rights of the executive and the legisla.
tive departments relative ito our rela-
lions with foreign powers may be ques'
ton that admits Of difference OF opin-
ion, but there can be among sensible men
no Doubt of the impolicy, nay,
more, of the gre at danger, OF conducting
foreign negotiations on the floor of either
the Senate or House in open and public
sessions.

There were many glad hearts at the

Raleigh announcing the passage OF tht
bill to increase the appropriation to the

ladies started for the Normal bell tc
ring out the glad tidings. The young lady
who first reached the bell, in the exuber-
ance of her spirits, pulled the rope of
of the wheel, but this accident did NOD
deter her desire. In an instant the lad
der was scaled in a manner which would
have done credit to a North Carolina
fireman, the rope was replaced, and for an
hour or more joy reigned unconfined
