CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
ME sPANIARps Musr go.

lt Is clear enough from the state
ments OF Mr.. Calhoun that even al
though he saw nouhing of the war in
Cuha from the patriot side, and held
no communication with the insurgents,
everything showed him that a tremen-
dous struggle was going on.
1t is not, indeed, a war, as he told our
Washington correspondent, of great
and terrific battles, like Gettysburg and
Chickamauga. yet IL is one of intense
bitterness and enormous devastation. 1t
is a warfare, apparently, such as Spain
herself resorted to for half a dozen
years in NapOleon's day, when so many
Of her people were regularly organized
against the French. yet in more or less
scattered bodies because such bodies
were best suited to lthe character Of the
country in which operations were car
ried on Empecinado and other officers
gained signal successes in such war
fare, and the forces of Nina afterward
were regularly Incorporated under
Wellington. In the civil wars OF Spain,
since that day, there have been similar
methods of carrying on military opera
tions. The great conflict in Cuba Is not
a riot, but revolution; not a foray OF
bandits, but a prolonged civil war.

The patriots, it is true, hold no sea-
port, and we believe, have never held
one, except, temporarily, Banes, which
was soon wrested from them. But how
much more control of their coast
waters did the Confederates possess af-
ter being SO widely recognized as bel
ligerents? How much greater success
propOrtionately did they have in block
ade running? How much better at any
time were their prospects of final sue
cess than are those of Cuba to-day?
Commissioner Calhoun puts In strong
terms his impression thai the struggle Is
one of great vindictiveness. But II inn
placable, 50 that the combatants car
never live in peace on the island, ]:
there any doubt that the Spaniard'
must go?-New York Sun.

Those people who think that Judge

charge of his judicial duties do not
know the man. Judge Spruance, we be-

Democratic majority which made II
possible for the Republicans TO secure
representation on the bench, and that
1t was Democratic governor who hon.
ored him with the appointment. While

The caucus schedule abolishes ad va
loren duties, but it retains the dis
elimination against countries that pay
EXPORT bounties, and allows the trust
and excessive differential between the
duties on raw sugar and those on re-
fined. 1t fixes the tax on raw sugar
testing not above IS degrees by the po-
lariscope at / cent per pound, and
Booths OF a cent per pound extra for
every additional degree, while its duty
on refined sugar is 1885 cents. After
carefully considering the various fac
tors involved John De Witt Warner,
with whom Ii is labor of love to fol-
low up the sinuosities of sugar trust
tariff jobbery, says OF this arrange
ment:
1.-The tosal net protection given the
trust on its refining process will range,
for most of the raws used, between 40
and 60 cents per 100 pounds, with a
general average of about half a cent q
pound, and possibilities, as to a large
amount Of its business, of a far greater
differential--thi in addition to the
amount gained by importation of raws
in advance Of the new tarif going intC
operation.

a clear gift to the sugar trust, through
the agency of the taxing power, of $50,

government expected 10 collect from
the wealth of the whole country b.
means of the income tax. In addition
she trust will clear $4,000, 900 the firs
year through its advance purchases o
raw sugar at the old rate.
1t is thoroughly well understood b.

TO that levied on refined, Congres

LAcKEY HARDING ON HIS KNEES

LACkEY HARDING ON HIS KNEES.
President Mckinley performed an act
on Monday which will make every
newspaper man in America his friend
and we'll wisher. The president was TO
visit Biltmore House, George w. Van
derbilt's luxurious home, near Asheville,
North Carolina, and inspect not only
the mansion, but the extensive private
grounds surrounding It. Accompany
ing the presidential party South were a
number of prominent newspaper men
who naturally expected to accompany
the president wherever he went. IL so
chanced that in the absence of Mr.. Van
derbilt abroad the estate was in charge
OF an Englishman named Harding, who
objected to admitting anyone but the
president and his Cabinet and the ladies
of the party to Biltmore. This lackey of
the Vanderbilts said to the local com
mittee on arrangements that Mr.. Van
derbllt spat on newspaper notorlety,
and SO did he.
When r. Addison Porter. the presi-
dent'G private secretary, arrived, he
heard of the dilemma, and called up the
Englishman by telephone. He asked
him If Il were true that the newspaper
men OF the presidential party we're TO
be excluded, and received a reply in the
affirmative. This was communicated
to President Mckinley. who instructed
him TO tell the English lackey that he
considered the newspaper men his in
vited guests on the trip, and that they
were as much a contingent of the party
as the members Of the Cabinet. Fur
ther than that, II the newspaper men
were barred from the mansion he
would not set foot on the estate.
This manly declaration brought the
English lackey to his knees, and he
agreed to admit the newspaper men
with the best grace possible, consider
ing the foolish position in which he
had previously placed himself.
II Mr.. Vanderbilt and his lackey
Harding, were endeavoring to avoid
newspaper notoriety they adopted the
best possible course to get it, for news
paper men in all parts OF the country
will hold both of them up to public
contempt at the same time praisine
President Mckinley for his honorable
action.

ARE THEY NAVAL LUXURIEs?


The news that John Bulls Powerful
Is going to try TO beat the speed trial Of
our warship Columbia, in fast trip
across the Atlantic, is attracting no
end of comment on this class of naval
craft IN technical journals at present.
While the Columbia and her still
faster sister, the Minneapolis, accom-
plished their purpose OF producing
American cruisers of high speed, and
while they may have been the direct
cause OF Great Britain's responding
with the Powerful and her mate the
Terrible, yet we are not likely to build
any more vessels of that type, at least
for long time to come When nearly
twenty-five knots can be got with the
Brooklyn, which not only has the ad-
vantage of being an armored cruiser,
but OF having a vastly heavier battery
than the Columbia, the superiority for
ail-around service OF the former type
seems obvious. Besides, for fast COM
merce destroyers we have source oi
reliance in such liners as the Paris.
New York, st. Louis and ST. Paul
which the government can secure
whenever desired, as it has in reserve
batteries for mounting upon them.
Stil, it is an interesting question
how the Powerful compares with the
Columbia as to speed, in long oceaT
run, and even if the admiralty shoulC
hereafter conclude not to make 81
pointed a competition as the one in
volved in a trip to New York, it is ye
probable that her voyage will be sucl
as to yield all the necessary element
for tolerably exact comparison.
