The Kentucky Situation.

AS the result of the latest reports from
Frankfort, the republican leaders are in
an easier frame of mind respecting the
Kentucky senatorship. If it is true that
Gov. Bradley and DR.. Hunter yielding to
party pressure, will sink their personal
dlfferences as they affect that question,
then a republican successor to Mr.. Black
burn is assured.
Ihose familiar with the situation speak
very highly of the republican leadership
IN the bluegrass state. It is native and in
every way representative. 1t embraces a
number OF excellent men. qualified in every
particular for places of the highest re-
sponsibility. Any one of them would fill
the chair now occupied by Mr. Blackburn
with credit TO himself and good service
TO MS people. So much the more incum-
bent on those in power therefore is it to
ciear the path for a selection from a field
altogether so worthy.
Inc kentucky republicans will probably
note, too, how very well their brethren in
west Virginia and Maryland-two sister
southern states-have performed a similar
DUTY. Mr.. Elkins takes rank among the
best politicians and business men in the
senate and adds materially to the prestige
OF his state in that body. Those who know
Mr.. Wellington well are very certain that
he Is entering field for which he pos
sesses fuil equipment. Another such man
from another southern state will strength
en- southern repubiicanism in the ewes of
the whole country

Mr.. Sherman on Cuba.

The Pittsburg interview with Senator
Sherman on the subject OF Cuba bore evil
dences Of haste and inaccuracy which
discredited parts of II even before Mr.
Sherman's qualified denial. Reportorial
enterprise In that town Is remark
able and commendable. but 1t must be
admitted that catching a statesman on the
fly. while fast train stops for lunch, is
not the best way to secure information or
the most important topics. Both the
statesman and mis- interrogator are at a.
disadvantage The one fires his questions
in haste. while the other catches them and
does in equal haste the best he can with
them
To Illustrate: Mr.. Sherman Is quoted as
saying in reply to q question that the next
administration viii not do anything which
would maze a peaceful government OF
the island a charge on this country A
very sound statement, and one that every
friend or Cuba will be most happy to hear
IL goes Girectly to the point. and Is In itself
a reputation OF all the maneuvering which
has OF late been going on between the state
department and the authorities at Madrid
All this talk about reforms for Cuba is
Evening star., 1897-01-18

predicated upon the proposition that this
country practically shah guarantee those
reforms. Mr. Cleveland is to say that
they are wise. and that b to be quoted to
the Insurgents to induce them to accept the
terms and lay down their arms.
But how does the Pittsburg man inter-
pret Mr. Sherman's statement? He de-
cIares. on the strength Of it, that 1.-The
Cuban policy Of the Mckinley administra-
ton will ciffer very little from that which
has been laid down by President Cleveland
and his Secretary of State.'' The difference
upon that one point alone will be as wide
IS can be. The Mckinley administration,
according to Mr.. Sherman, will negotiate
70 reforms between Spain and Cuba. The
Cuhans are to decide for themselves
whether to accept Spa;ns promises, once
basely repudiated, or not. If they are
accepted, the Cubans are to be responsible
to themselves for their performance. If
they are rejected, Spain must then find
other means of treating with the insur-
gents for peace.
The ir surgents, through their responsible
leaders, seem clear as to their course.
Spain S word is worth nothing with Them
They would not accept 1t even if Endorsed
by the United States. Unless their inde-
penderce is conceded. the insurgents will
continue the war. ard the people of this
country want the war to cease.
III the Cuban question, practically in it's
present shape, is handed over to the Nc
k1hiey administration, the difference be-
tween an American policy and a Cleveland
policy promises promptly to be made mani
fest.

n Chance for Action,

Commissioner Powell said on Saturday:
This United States Company is a con-
slant violator of the law. 1t has today
more overhead wires than it had in 1888,
and we have their affidavits to prove it,
Wires are strung overhead every week,
every day, every night. every Sunday"
There can be no question to the truth
OF the first statement, the general charge
that the company mentioned Is "a con-
slant violator of the law providing the
subsequent statement as to the persistent
stringing of overhead wires is accurate.
The law on the subject may be inadequate
in some respects, but it certainly is definite
in its formal prohibition of additional over
head electric wires. Major Powell must be
well informed concerning the alleged vio-
lations of the law, for otherwise he would
not speak with such unequivocal direct
ness. 1t Is his urgent duty under the cir
cumstances to demonstrate either the
power or the futilIty of the statute by i'm
mediate interference to prevent the illegal
acts which he discloses and by prompt
prosecution of the offenders The very
opeRness with which the law is violated
every week. every day, every night, every
Sunday Is in itself in the nature of re-
proach to the local authorities for admitted
laxity in enforcing the law. There should
he no delay in causing a condition TO cease
which reflects both upon the electric light
company and the municipal officials in
trusted with carrying into effect the local
statutes

Choosing Men of Experience.

If present expectations are realized, the
new administration will be composed of
men well known to the country in connec-
ticn with its political history, and expert
creed in legislative as in other public af-
fairs. The President-elect has been a ma
tiCnal figure for twenty years and during
that time has participated in much notable
work. Mr.. Sherman has been in office for
forty years, and for the past fifteen years
fas been recognized the most eminent of
American financ!ers. During those same
fifteen years he has been at the head of
the Foreign Relations Committee of the
Serate, and is thus wholly familiar with
the subjects with which as Secretary of
State he will be called upon to deal The
three or four other men to whom present
Probabilities strongly point members OF
the new cabinet have all had large ex-
perience in both legislative and executive
or judicial office.
This is all of the best augury While the
executive and legislative branches of the
government are of course entirely separate.
each having its own functions to perform
only good can come from their being on ex-
cellent terms with each other. Good will
between them is always to be desired. and
good VIII is best assured where there is full
appreciation on the part of each of the
others duties and responsibilities.
How much embarrassment may grow out
of lack of this feeling between those two
branches of the government has unhapply
been fully illustrated during the past four
years. If a tug of war had formally been
ordered by the American people, the exhi-
bltion in principle would not have been ma
terially different. Mr.. Cleveland and his
advisers have been straining at their end
of the rope. and two Congresses at their
end. 1t Is of smaller moment to decide who
have been victors in this tussle than to
realize as everybody does, that the country
mas suffered from it. Domestic as well as
foreign policies have shown the effects of
It, a tariff bill was wrecked, and our for
eign affairs in more than one quarter have
been complicated, all as the result of the
existence of a feeling of distrust between
the legislature and the executive Mr.
Clevelands '.perfidy and dishonor'' letter
added greatly to the confusion over the
Wilson bill, and his open iouting of Con-
sress IN the matter of Hawaii and Cuba
has been his crowning affront to that de-
partment of the government.
If the Mckinley administration should ac-
complish but little else than to re-estabfish
relations of mutual respect and considera-
tion between Congress and the executive it

H. consists OF cordial that causes i'm

Tho Importance of this discovery will be
apparent when we realize that nearly
nihe-tenths OF our suffering are caused by
Dyspepsia or indigestion. Nearly every
pe"son you meet has this digestive trouble
IN some OF its varied forms-sick head
acne, distress after eating. pain and full

OF the heart, etc, are but symptoms of
Indigestion. To relieve these sufferinys

causes the food eaten to be dlgested, for it
