CUBA'S DILEMMA.

The queen regent of Spain, say our
yesterday morning dispatches, has
signed a decree for the application of
the reforms agreed upon for the island
of Cuba on the assumption that Weyler
did bot lie when he notified the govern
ment at Madrid that the west end of the
island is 'pacified." Unquestionably.
this qualification" means that the peo-
pie are PROSTATE and their country
ruined. 1t is beyond the powers of the
pen 10 describe the deplorable condition
of that haplesS island. Famine has add
ed its terrors TO the support of Wey-
ler'S barbarous campaign in Cuba. and
travellers returning from the island re-
port that whole communities are perish
Ing of starvation. The cruelty of the
Spaniards spares neither women nor
children. They are driven from their
homes, robbed of their cattle and pro-
visions and herded in the cities and
towns where there is neither food nor
shelter to relieve them. More than 300
600 persons have been torn from their
places of residence and forced into the
towns under Weyler's barharic policy
of concentration" and it is estimated
that AT least 10000 are doomed to
starvation unless their helpless bond
age Is speedily broken. This culminat-
ing chapter in the story of Spanish say
agery is incomparably the darkest and
most reproachful.

TURKEY RAISES THE WIND.

Napoleon estimated that Providence
was always on the side Of the heaviest
artillery, or something to that effect AS
1t takes money to buy the munitions
and supplies of an army, it is a logical
sequence that victory always goes with
the longest purse The trouble with
Spain today is the shortness of her
purse and her lack of collateral for
those who could lend. So also with
poor Greece Baifour in his address
to the so club, which the Eagle pub
lished yesterday morning, told the
whole story of the concert of Europe,
but he didn't tell why Turkey COM
mands English capital. The news from
London that the money lenders of the
English metropolis are willing TO lend
Turkey five times as much money as
Greece, at one-half the interest, is not
surprising; for the British capitalist
rarely permits his Judgment to be
clOuded by sentiment or to be swayed
by the utteranees of emotional states
men. But it is not to be assumed that
the English money lender in taking
this attitude segregates himself from
the capitalists Of Europe; and it is this
fact, quite as much as the Turkish
prepOnderance in arms and ships. which
makes the outlook for Greece so criti-
cal and desperate

DINGLEY ENDORSED.

agreement with the New York chamber
of commence The reasons for its ap-
prevail given by the Philadelphia COM
merrial body are broad and terse. They
are, briefly, that the Dingley bin plans
adequate revenue instead Of an increase
of the public debt; that it will prevent
frauds in the collection Of customs, and
that it will adjust duties 80 as to protect
American wage-earners against the

THE EAST VS.. THE WEST.

The hope of this land Of ours, Of this
government by the many and of equal
opportunities for all, founded by Wash
ington aud his compatriots, saved as
united whole by the patriotism which
sustained Lincoln and his statesmen
and generals. and which is still preserv-
ed by the intelligence of an enlighten-
ed people, is in the undeveloped west,
in it's more free and less Isammeled CIV
llization. Because of their commercial
ties and financial relations the older At
iantic communities have become Euro
peanized. If these eastern states have
not reached their maximum of popula-
ton, they already have their castles and
are hedged up by the environments OF
tradition There is little possible future
growth for the east except as it grows
off Of others. From the more progress
sive and unconventional west must
come the broader ideas, the freer poll
cies which will afford the opportunity

Tiers. The resources of the west have

mine and of field, the sources of all in
dustry, as they are the basis of the
commerce and finance which build
cities and enrich communities. The
west with its ever increasing popula-
ton will soon rule this land, if, indeed,
the east has not already lost the scep-
tire. The masses of the east will be in
harmony with the ideas and political
convictions of the west. The ruling
classes of the east do not appreciate
such proposition, but their masses do
or will BY the west, through its freer
and broader spirit, its progressive ideas
and undeveloped resources, will be
