The Missouri banks are making a
fight on the express company's trans
mission of money by express orders.
They claim that these companies are
transmitting money cheaper than the
small banks in the country can offer
exchange on metropolitan banks and
there is a combination to send funds
by registered mail instead. 1t is al
so charged that the express compan-
les discriminate against the small
banks in the carriage of coin and there
is a disposition to make the fight
against them general. The same fight
has been on in Iowa and other states
and may grow to be an issue in other
not yet developing any interest in
the matter.

The Presidents message has more
between the lines, in its reference
to Cuba than appears in the text
and this is appearing to the dumb
CONSERVATION of Spain and the enc
mics of Cuba in increasing clearness.
This merely proves the wisdom and
strength of the mind that framed that
message. The more it is studied the
more it is seen that so far from be-
ing Indifferent to the situation in Gu
ba, it proposes to make that situation
the concern of the United States when
considerations of humanity and our
obligations to civilization and our
selves render it necessary. This is
enough, and Washington and not
Madrid will be the judge Of that ne
cessity.

Uncle Sam is not felicitated on the
manner in which he let big and blus-
tering Germany take little Hayti by
the nose and pull it But it must not
be forgotten that there is in the United
States Senate majority that is hos
tile to the president and his party and
policy, and that no dependence can
be placed on what course the Senate
will take in an emergency. Beside there
was a strong feeling at Washington
that Hayti had presumed on her own
insignificence and upon the aid Of the
United States and was more impudent
than the law allowed. Hayti has been
impertinent before.

There is not a thing in sight for the
real pacification of Cuba. The osten-
sfble policy is that of autonomy, but
it is thought to make it operative
through the nbrts Of the reformists,
who are not in favor with the old au-
Economists, and the friction is so great
that there is danger of firing the whole
machine. The Autonomist will not re-
cognize the leadership of the new men
whom Blanco has entrusted with the
work of carrying forward his meas
ures. Blanco is handicapped by his
instructions from Madrid and the
whole thing is out at the elbows and
badly patched at the knees. 1t won't
work.

Croker and his pals have been hard
at work in the ''king's" retreat over in
New Jersey, parcelling out the Christ
mas presents for the gang. He has
pressed Eustis into his service and if
he cannot do without him he will force
him into the office of corporation
counsel. 1t will take a man with q
good head and clear knowledge of
affairs to fill this bill and such are not
to be found every day at the disposal
of Tammany. With his machine ably
managed there will be nothing to pre-
vent Croker from laying his hands on
state and national politics and work,
ing his rabbit foot on these. Then he
will have patronage to burn and the

ment to reward them for their services.

Huntington has accepted the decis-
ion of the United States engineers as
to the location of the harbor ON the
Pacific slope, at San Pedro, and all
the interests of the Southern Pacific
in that locality will be rapidly devel-
oped there. Abundant water front
property has been secured for all the
requirements of the road and there
will be no hesitancy on the part of
the Southern Pacific people in improv-
ing their property in time to meet the
government improvement of the bar
Dor. Bids have been advertised for
the harbor work and there is no
doubt that construction will begin as
soon as contracts can be awarded. 1t
is time that the work was entered up
on, as the need of a harbor far to the
south of San Francisco is becoming
yearly more and more apparent.

President Mckinley recognizes the
newspaper guild at Washington as
distinctly entitled to all the courte-

much as the members of Congress
and the diplomatic corps. Prepara-

these members of the press and their
families~and there will be a place for
them in all public functions in the
future. This is courtesy that is
wise as well as thoughtful. 1t will
not in any sense lessen the apprecia-
ton of the country for the level head
ed man who today presides over its
destines. Fancy Grover Cleveland

There is no doubt that Congress is
beginning to feel the gravity of the
situation, as regards the relationship
between the United States and Spain,
and that imbued with the spirit Of
the administration there will be no
effort to push recognition OF the Gu
ban insurgents beyond the lines con-
sidered advisable at the state Office.
1t is the intention of the United Sta
ties to saddle upon Spain the respon-
sibility for whatever breach of the
peace there is between the two ma
tons, so that when the rupture
comes, as come it is thought it must,
the United States will be so clearly
in the right in the eyes Of the nations
that there will be no adverse criti-
cism upon her actions. Uncle Sam
will be slow to take offense but will
not be deferred by any fear of Spain
from actively Intervening in the af
fairs of Cuba when he is unmistak-
ably justified in doing so. This APP
pears to be about the condition at
Washington now, and before the win
ter is over the most ardent friends of
Cuba may find that the United Sta
ties has taken a very advanced and
decided step in behalf of the noble
band of Cuban patriots now in arms.
