WASHINGTON. Aug. a.-The arrival OF
General F:tzhugh Lee in Washington the
latter part of September is likely TO mark
the beginning of the development of the
administrations policy in regard to Cuba.
Some of General Lees recent reports are
said to be of a highly important character.
as furnishing additional proof of the utter
failure of Captain General Wcylers at
tempts to suppress the instruction and the
hopelessness of his campaigns. President
Mckinley did not lack information on this
particular point, but his policy. announced
by those authorized to speak for him, was
to give the Spanish government ample time
in which TO demonstrate its ability or in
ability to successfully cope with the Cuban
situation. 1t is for him to put limit on
this period of trial and officials in the State
Department make no concealment of the
fact that they look for a definite announce
ment by the President during the coming
autumn, certainly by the reassembling Of
Congress. There is evidence that this
move is being anticipated at Madrid, and
the sending of additional troops to Cuba
is accepted in well informed diplomatic cir
cles as quite as much a preparation to
make a stand against the United States,
should occasion arise, as to fight aCubans.
Intervention by this government is now
regarded as inevitable and great deal OF
sober earnest thought is being given to the
subject by those who will have direction
of affairs when the time arrives for stern

Indications are that the National Farm
ers' Congress now in session at st. Paul
will pass resolutions deprecating labor
strikes and asking Congress to legislate
for their better control and the protection
of interstate commerce during their con-
tinuance. The organization referred to is
thoroughly representative one and en-
titled to speak for the farmers of the coun-
try in general. The president of the organi-
cation is reported saying: Il believe
that strikes are often necessary, but l also
believe that they should be made a last
resort. / am in favor of requesting the
federal Congress to direct the enforcement
of the intersrate-commerce laws, which pro-
tect commerce at all times" 1t would be
singular coincidence if at the very time
when a convention of labor leaders in st.
Louis is protesting against the putting of
any legal restraint on strikes and strikers,
a convention of representative farmers in
st. Paul should ask for more rigid restraint.
The truth is the interest Of farmers in the
matter of general strikes is entirely differ
ent from that of miners and most other
wage earners. That farmers are laborers
none will deny. AS class they work as
hard and steadily as any other But most
of them work on their own account and
therefore are not wage earners in the strict
sense, and those who work for wages are
not in labor organizations. AS a class they
greatly outnumber any other class of Ia
borers, if not all other classes combined.
According to the census of 1890 AZ per cent
of the entire population lived in cities and
towns of one thousand inhabitants or more,
and the remaining So per cent in villages
and the country. The farmers constitute
about one-half the entire population of the
country. 1t needs no argument to show
why they are opposed to general strikes
which tie up the industries or the trans
portation of the country. They are inter-
ested in getting their products to market
and in having as great body of consum-
ers as possible all the time. In other words,
they are interested in having railroad traf-
fic unimpeded and in having as many per-
sons as possible earning wages in order
THAI they may be buyers and consumers of
farm products. One may say this is a sell
fish reason for wishing strikes to be con-
trolled and restricted by law, but farmers
are as selfish as other people. Strikes them
selves are the result of a desire on the
part of wage earners to advance their own
interests, and this is species of selfshness
The same principle permeates society in all
directions Farmers have as much right
to look out for their interests as any other
class and unquestionably it is to their in
terest to have the railroads kept open and
every other branch of industry in full blast.
With organized labor demanding protec-
ton for strikes and the farmers asking for
their restriction Congress will scarcely
know what to do.
