ment acting together. would be sufli-
cient to accomplish the end in view.
He hopes to see Congress promptly
adopt a joint resolution embodying
three clear and definite propositions:
The first, asserting our right and duty,
to ourselves and humanity, by virtue
OF the doctrine of Intervention, and by
virtue of the Monroe doctrine, to put
an end to the conflict in Cuba, because
it disturbs our internal peace, destroys
our commerce and the prosperity of in
dividual citizens; second, having en-
dured the evils incident to fifteen years
OF war in Cuba out of the last twenty
nine, we have in vain offered our
friendly offices as peacemsker to en-
able Spain, without offence to her sus-
capabilities, to end war that is de-
structive to the material interests of
both countries; the third, declaring
that Spain, having rejected our friendly
offices, this government is now resolved,
upon its own responsibility, to exercise
its entire moral influence to bring the
bloody war in Cuba to speedy close,
provided Spain fails to accomplish that
result in a reasonable time to be clearly
indicated. The resolution should leave
no doubt that, moral influences failing,
we reserve the right to take such
further action as events may render
necessary.
Ex-Minister Taylor is of the opinion
that the mere passage of such resolu
ton by decided majorities in bott
houses of Congress-, with the concur
renee of the President, will kill the
policy of Spain in Cuba, without fur
Their action on the part of the govern
ment of the United States. 1t is i'm
possible within the limits of news

Taylor's article. In every line it il
extremely interesting, and the most i'm
portant contribution to the subject tina
has yet been published.

GENERAL MILES says of the Ameri-
can Indians in his recent report that
they are making rapid progress toward
permanent settlement and semi-civiliza-
ton. That "semi" would seem to be a
little hard, both on the Indians and the
permanent settlements.

A WEEK or two ago the London
newspapers appeared to be sure that
war between the United States and
Spain was'close at hand, but they have
changed their tune and now think the
outlook is decidedly peaceful. Some of
them are saying that the recent war
scare on the exchanges both in England
and America was Wall street trick.
There is probably some truth in this as
stock jobbers in every country are full
of schemes of this sort. 1t is refresh
ing TO find the London newspapers &C.
casionally exhibiting a CLEAN of sense
in discussing American questions.

COUNTRIES which are operating upon
a silver basis have been bordering on
panics during the last year. Silver has
decreased twenty per cent, or one
fifth of its value during that time.
Thus, if man loaned $500 he would
received $400 in payment; he would
receive five hundred silver dollars in
payment for the five hundred silver
dollars which he loaned, but they would
be worth in the markets of the world
but four-fifths of the value loaned.
This is condition which would exactly
suit the people who were last year
clamoring for an opportunity to pay
their debts in deprecated money.

THE Leavenworth, Kansas, Standard
bewails the fact that only the wealthy
can now afford to buy imported carpets,
rugs and tapestries, but it fails to offer
the only reasonable solution to the
matter and that is not to buy them at all.
If our floors are covered with American
carpets and rugs, and our walls with
American tapestries, we will have the
satisfaction of knowing that we are get
ting far better value for our money,
than if we bought imported goods.
With the single exception of oriental
rugs which are made in Asia chiefly by
women and girls who receive ten to
fifteen cents day in wages, there is no
need to buy dollars worth of carpet
ing from abroad. No one knows this
better than the wealthy, who are among
the best patrons of the American carpet
looms. They know what is good, and
they buy it. About seventy-fve per-
cent of the carpets used in America are
made in America. Better add the re-
naming twenty-five per cent and make
it unanimous.
ONE of the really important results
of the November elections in this coun.
try was their effect on the Senate, and
if any Democrat can find there any
cause for happiness or any signs Of
"gains" he should be presented with g
sixteen to one silver medal. 1t is now
apparent that no less than seven of the
thirty-four Democrats in the Senate are
morally certain to be succeeded by Re-
publicans, and still another-Lindsay
Of Kentucky-who is equally certain ia
be laid on the shelf, his place taken
however by a free-silver Democrat
