THE SYMPATHY RACKET.
| New York, Dec. PA special to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Following upon the expressions of dis
approba ton shown by the American
press at the savage methods of warfare
used by General Gomez in the matter of
the ass ssassination Of Lieutenant Colonel
Ruiz, there is the best authority for
stating that the Spanish government
thinks the moment propitious for ap-
preaching ttlat of Washington and ask
ing the latter to use all means possible
TO repress Revolutionary socities in the
United States which are giving active
assistance to Gomez's force.
The Spanish government points out
that it has given the brosdest measure
OF autonomy, which is proving accepta-
BILE to the large majority, and while it is
favorably commented upon in the presi-
Dental message, it is forcibly opposed by
piratical and reckless minority.
All the Spanish government asks is
that the applica ton Of t11e rule be as laid
down by President Grant-the duty OF
one friendly nation toward another. If
that is applied, the government consid-
ers the termination Of the revolution viii
occur within a short time.
The indignation was twice as great
when the news reached here that Ruiz
was not even permitted a soldiers death,
but was hanged.
PHOEBE, CUBA AND HAWAII.
st. Louis, Dec. 24.-Aiss Phoebe Couz-
ins, the woman suffrage advocate, has
almost recovered from her recent i'll
ness She is to take the lecture platform

Cuba's belligerency shiuld be recognized
but is opposed TO the annexation of
Hawaii.

MKLNLEIrS Policy.


Major Mckinley so plainly indicated
in his addresses during the campaign
what he thought should be the policy
| regarding the tariff and the currency
| that nobody ought To have any diff
| Guilty in fOrecaSting the position of his
administration toward these questions
! In unmistakable terms the country was
repeatedly assured by the republican
presidential candidate that he was in
favor of maintaining the existing none
| tary standard. There was no am
biguity o. equivOcation in his referen-
ces to this subject. He will enter upon the
presidency fully committed to this and
there can be no reasonable doubt that
the pledge he has given the country
will be faithfully adhered to. The
fact that the president-elect is dis
posed to respect the republican promise
to promote the cause of International
bimetallism does not justify any ques-
ton as to the sincerity of his attitude
respecting the gold standard. All
effort in this direction may and prob
ably will be fruitless, but the re-
publican party having promised the
country that the effort should be made
is bound TO make good that promise
and no reasonable man will expect
Major Mckinley to stand in the way of
doing this.
In regard to the tariff the president
elect was equally clear and definite in
advocating policy that would give
more revenue TO the government and
better protection to industries which
have suffered from the present law
He did not advocate extreme duties,
but indicated that he favored moder-
ate protection, knowing that to he
necessary to revenue. This position
may not be satisfactory to some OF
those interests which have submitted
their views TO the ways and means
committee, but undoubtedly it will be
adhered TO. 1t is mistake to assume
that Mckinley Is IN extreme high tariff
man. He Is Il protectioniSt, but he has
never been in favor of higher duties
than were deemed necessary to foster
home industries and safeguard Amari.

ing reciprocity and 1t Is To
be expected that his administration
Will sedulously endeavor to give tbs
widest extension to this policy.
Persons who profess to have obtained
trustworthy information regarding tbs
currency policy OF the next administra-
ton say that it will favor the gradual
retirement of the greenbacks as soon as
the government has a surplus of revenue

to apply to this purpose and some other
form Of currency. bank or metallic. can
be substituted for them, but no new issue
OF bonds will he favored for the purpose
of taking up the greenbacks. 1t may
be doubted whether this is anything more
than conjecture, though 1t is entirely
safe to say that the republican admins
trltion will not favor issuing bonds to
retire the legal tender notes aud thereby
increase the interest burden of the gov
crnment Sl5,OOo,OOO annually. 1t Is also
said that the new administration will
favor an enlargement of the national
banking system to enable Independent
banks or branches of city banks to be
carried on in small towns, thus Erovid-
ing better banking facilities in localities
where such facilities are now lacking.
The policy Of the new administration,
it is safe to predict, will be conservative
in all directions, with the one purpose OF
promoting national progress and pros
perity. Probably no one realizes more
fully than Major Mckinley the great OPP
portrnity the republican party will have
to firmly intrcDch itself in the confidence
Of the people and no man can more
strongly desire than he to Justify the
popular faith in republican principles
that was expressed in his election.

uoRsHrppiYU KING CAUCUS.

Populism had It's origin In the revolt
against partisanship. The founders of
the populist party denounced all exist
ing parties as rotten and proclaimed
their determination to discard machine
methods by dethroning King Caucus.
| They called themselves 1.-THE people $
Independent party" to emphasize their
independence of party shacklcs. Their
first national convention was held on
Independence day and their first
national platform hailed as second
declaration Of independence.
And now the spectacle is presented at
Lincoln as it is in other state capitals,
of the representatives of the peoples
Independent party suncndcring their in.
dependence and voluntarily making
themselves subjects OF King Caucus. An
Independent party reBouncing indcpenG'
encc and embracing the most obnoxious
form of party tyranny Is an anomaly.
What becomes of the independence of
the proud ycpman who enlisted for the
purpose of striking down party shacklcG
and resisting the party lash? What diff
ference is there in principle between
obeying the bphcsts of republican
caucus, a democratic caucus or
popuIist caucus? If it Is wrong for Il
republican or democrat to enter Il
caucus that pledges him to vote con
trary to his conscientious convictions, is
it right for populists, who pride them
selves on their independence, to do the
very thing they have condemned in
season and out of season?
The Bee has always opposed King
Caucus in its own party and has no
reason to change its views in that re-
spect. 1t believes in true independence
and has no use for sham Independence
reform party that pursues the
methods which it has condemned and
denounced in other parties lacks the
elements of real reform. Instead of
appealing for popular support on the
high plane of Individual Independence,
it practically stands for the continuance
of the abuses it has set out to abolish
provided only that the spoils of Office
are distributed to its own members.
