conclusion that while the pooling priv

AS to Railway Pooling.

The newspapers and magazines these
days contain a VouminOus discussion
from many standpoints of the question,
Should congress pass an act authoriz-
ing the formation of railway pools, and
iC 50, under what conditions? Most of
it, there is reason to believe, is direct
ly inspired by the railroads which are
in recent years TO secure from congress
legislation of their own designing, The
champions of the railroads point to the
comparatively low rates charged i'm
this country for freight and passenger
transportation, cite the scant earn
ings Of the carriers, dwell on the de-
moTalizatiOn existing in the railway
world since the Supreme court held
that traffic pools were violations of the
Sherman antitrust act, and conclude
by urging congress to enact the For
aker bill, which not only legalizes pool
ing but also leaves the public virtually
at the railways mercy.

out much justice but fatal in it's con-
clusion because asking more than II

Recent experiences showing the in

visions of the bill, is required To he a

.The Next Step"

A distinguished Cuban, in personal
letter to the editor of The Tribune.
after calling attention to a number of
predictions heretofore made by him
which were subsequently fulfilled al
. most to the letter. ventures another
prophecy. The intelligent Spanish ele-
ment IN Cuba, as well as the Autono-
- mist party. OF native Cubans--men so
closely related by business or social
ties to the Suanish element that they
have withheld their cooperation from
and largely lost sympathy with the in
surgeHts-realize, he declares, that the
autonomy overture has failed and that
unless the insurgents are to be sue
Cessful In their campaign for independ-
ence something daring must he done.
Hence he predicts that ere two months
have passed Spaniards in cuba will
join with Autonomist Cubans In advu-
eating the annexation Of Cuba to the
United states. thus hoping to put it
out of the power of the Cuban repub-
licans to insist uuon a restoration of
stolen property as would he their first
the islands freedom.
This bridge need not he crossed un-
til it is reached; but on the general
subject of Cuban annexation ii may be
said that public opinion in the United
states would hardly favor that course
at this time. Years hence, when cuba,
having in freedom solved the problem
of self-gOvernmcnt and implanted
among her mixed population the germs
of a civilization modelled on American
rather than Spanish lines, shall knock
at our doors as the republic of Hawaii
has knocked, begging admission in full
filment Of manifest destiny. there may
be cordial welcome; but as yet that
contingency is a dream of the remote
future. American sympathy for the
cause of the Cuban inSurreCtion has
not grown out of selfish purposes. 1t
has been the spontaneous feeling of a
people free for a people aspiring after
much bondage to the same state. If
annexation were submitted to a poll OF
the American people tomorrow it would
be voted down, by an overwhelming
majority-and not in contempt of
Cuban resources or in disregard of the
ultimate political benefits which an
neXatiOn would involve, but largely in
proof that our sympathy has not had
annexation in view as a reward.
The next step" for Cuba will not he
annexation, voluntary or fOrcible. Cuba
must he free, but, when free. she must
in fear and trembling, work out her
own salvation. OF her ability to dc
this we entertain no doubt.

No Lack OF sympathy.
H., u-o,hinr,nn St,r


Opposition to the eXtravagances that
have been heretofore committed in the
name of patriotism and national graft
tude is no longer to be set down blindly
to the score of lack of sympathy with
the sentiment that created the magnlh-
cent armies of the north in the early six
ties. 1t does not suffice to cry down win
the charge of narrow thdnklessness the
voice of reason that merely asserts that
there is too much laXity in the granting
of pensions and in the framing of pen
sion laws. The evils that form the basis
of the complaints now sounding In the
ears of the people are not necessary
part of the scheme of rewarding the men
who fought and suffered for their coun-
try. They arise from various causes, and
the demand is for their repression on
lines that will in no wise injure the leSit-
innate interests of the old soldiers or those
who are logically dependent upon them

PENSIONS.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
The pension laws certainly need revls-
ion, with the purpose Of making the pom
sion list a roll of honor and uealtng gen.
crously with all soldiers disabled in the
service. while cutting off all able-bodied
men having no just claim upon the gov
crnment's bounty. The pension appro-
priations have reached an enormous
amount. but it is not the amount that Is
so Objectionable as the fact that very
large part of the sum appropriated Is
suuandcred upon unworthy cases. Ihe
soldic's themselves should take this mat
ter up and help to purge the list of un-
worthy pensioners. lest the whole sys-
tenn should some day be broken to the
great injury of the tens of thousands OF
deserving pensioners who need the gov
ernment's aid or support.

The Real Motive.

FIOm INC INITUVtIDTIII IsVUSVT'
There is no feeling antagonistic to the
pensionng of worthy and deserving vet
Grams Corrupt claim agents ana dishon-
est politicians are attempting to per-
suade the old soldiers that the outCry
against pension frauds is an attack upon
the veterans. This is a malicious lie. The
protest that is going up from patriotic
people in every quarter is against The
robbery Of the government by unworthy
claimants. Tho pension question has too
long been made the foot ball of partisan
politics. Such stalwart Republican
partisan as Senator Gallinger tells the
exact truth when he says that the abuses
against the pension system should be
halted and the pension list made a roll of
honor instead of a menace to economical
government.
