bined, in the state, and gave cheaper
insurance than the most of them.
Losses were paid before. the 10th Of

Sagasta's accession may not solve the
Cuban problem, but II viii make the Sit
uation much less hopeless. Canovas had
got into a position where he could not
yield. Spain must either subdue Cuba or
perish IN the attempt. To a man or a
nation in such mood, the most friendly
representations Of a neighbor must be
fruitless.
IL is well known that Sagasta has never
approved Of the fierce military policy rep
resented by Weyler, and that he has al
ways favored liberal eonccs sions to the
Cubans. IL he shall come into power and
secure Liberal majority In the cortes 10

and then the friendly offices OF the United

This Is the hopeful feature of the ca b.

come all at once. for Sagasta must get

LABOR AND COMMERCE..

The Chamber OF Commerce passed A
resolution at It's last meeting indorsing
Frye's bin for the creation OF depart
ment OF commerce and navigation. 1t
Is much needed and II. as Mr.. Dnrie
pointed out In the course Of the discus
sion, Il shall perform the functions of
the English Board of Trade. II will be-
come one Of the most useful OF gov
eminent institutions. But 1t seems as
If the scope OF the proposed bureau
could be most adyantageously en-
Iarged If Il were made the department
of Commerce, Labor and Navigation.
The need OF an administrative de-
partment which shall exercise general
supervision over the relations between
wage-workers and employers has be-
come too evident TO be ignored. The
association of labor with commerce ls
a natural one. and consideration Of the
interests OF both would result In much
better regulations than II a separate
bureau of labor should be instituted.
Our experience Ii that wnen this
branch OF commerce Is specially pro-
vided for. the chief position Is too
often regarded as a reward for active
and partial devotion TO the interests
of one class. The separation of one
class from another Ii always per-
nleious. and especially so under a con-
stitntion which specifically ignores all
such distinctions.
The interests OF commerce end labor
are indlssolubly connected. what ben
eilts one benefits the either. what in
jures one hurts the other. A bureau
which has charge Of statistics. as the
proposed department viii. Is in an ex-
celIent position 20 gather Industrial
statistics. 10 become informed as TO
the rates OF wages and the conditions
of trade. and would be a better guide
to arbitration rulings than a specially
created bureau. whose sympathies must
inevitably be with one portion OF the
community TO the secondary considera-
ton OF others.
The Joining Of the two branches
would be IN effect the same as that
now observed la the department of
agriculture. which takes cognizance OF.
and affords information concerning.
the markets OF the world. as well ms
the conditions existing at home. II
Mr.. Frye's bin can be amended so as
TO include labor It will not only render
unnecessary the creation OF another
set Of otiiceholders. but do the work al
lottod It much better. The Chamber
OF Commerce would do well TO consider
the subject with this suggestion and
secure the honor for Seattle Of ini-
tiating a movement which will receive
general commentator.

The supporters OF Mr.. Low for mayor OF
New York base their chief hope of success
upon the fact that on postal cards solicited
by the Citizens Union II coo citizens ex-
pressed their desire for his nomination,
on the condition that his candidacy should
prove a ''unifying force among the
friends Of good government" OF course.
the object was clearly understood to be
TO make Mr.. Low the candidate OF the
anti-Tammany forces. 1t has not been
done. and the 1900 postal card voters
are under 10 sort of oblis cation to vote
for Mr. Low. The Citizens Union. made
