The Cnbans, as well as the people of
this country, have evidently lost all faith
in the sincerely Of McKinley's vigorous
foreign policy. Bartolomc Maso. who in
all probability will be the next president
OF the provisional government of Cuba.
thus expresses his opinion: 81 trust the
United States (the pcople) and do not
trust her. That is, put but little faith
in the party pledges and administrative
promises which are SO often held out to
Cuba. Your Congressional resolutions
and legislative expressions of sympathy
have many times raised great hopes in
our breasts, but the irresponsible and to
us cruel Indifference of your ad ministra.
ton has put an end to such thought long
ago. We feel that from the United
States, at least, we are entitled to the
recognition OF beligerency. We will be
grateful il il ever comes, but we have
ceased TO expect it,"
Speaker Reek IN the New York World,
speaking of the period prior to the going
into effect OF the resumption law, says
Down almost to the very day OF re-
sumption the croaking came with dismal
and damnable iteration. When the Is.
OF January came no crowds thronged the
sub-treasury corridors. Hardly green
back was presented and we got back to
the currency Of the world without move
ment or a jar. From that moment pros.

the same croaking against the re-
sumption of the coinage under which we
became great as nation, but when the
doors OF the minis shall again swing
open to the free and Unlimited coinage of

The Seattle Trade Register says:
"Foresghted lumber manufacturers and
dealers are agitating the idea OF general
closing OF the mills during the winter, so
as to avoid over production and the con-
sequent tendency to cut prices next
spring when EASTERN dealers will make
active demand for lumber and shingles.
1t is we'll to exercise foresight Yes, but
the employees might object to thus main
tanning prices at their expense. What's
the matter with that DINGHY tariff bill,
that it should be off skulkinp instead OF
maintaining prices?
The Montesano Nidettc and the Che
halls Bee are kicking at the action OF the
"pop" Legislature because the n. =. is
going to pay all Of its delinquent taxes
before November 80, thereby escaping
payment OF all penalty and interest, ex-
cept six per cent. Without this law
these taxes would probably be collected,
il at all, at the end OF a law suit, which
would not only eat up the interest on
these taxes but part OF the principal. The
trouble with these kickers is they don't
know a'good thing when they see it.
Secretary Gage says the administration
is committed iirevocably to what he
terms currency reform, and lntlmatcs
that ''the president may use his influence
with great effect if hostile senate should
undertake to thwait the demand OF the

ployed to jam through such legislation as

'Twere better to try the Root mountains
of Washington than risk the rlgors OF
Alaska: the net returns will be greater.
What a comedy Europe is playing win
her "concerts." She is going to try II on
Uncle Sam and Cuba, now that it has
been demonstrated Mckinley doesn't
purpose to do anything for Cuba.
