Elsewhere will be found an interesting
article showing the relation of labor to
the railroads OF the country, that should
be read by every citizen. The subject is
at this time of the greatest importance,
when there Is tendency 10 legislation,
inspired by political demagogues, aimed
at the wreclling OF railroad interests, 1t
IS time that the plain people Of the coun-
try, and particularly the laboring classes,
were beginning to realize the deep Inter
est they have in the prosperity Of the
railroads, and the fact that demagogic
legislation against these great employers
Of labor Is aimed at them.
It is clearly shown by railroad stalls
tics that the interest of labor in the rail-
way question is greater than the interest
OF capital: this is necessarily true, since,
according to the report of the Interstate
commerce commission, of every 500 paid
out for operating expenses, $50 goes d.
rectly to labor, and an equal proportion
Of the remaining $40 goes indirectly to
labor. In the article referred to these
facts. and other facts showing the disas-
trous effects of hostile legislation are
clearly brought out.

II one-half the stories that are now
coming from Cuba depicting the horrible
results Of tho carrying out Of the policy
of wcyler to "exterminate the breed,
are true, the situation Is more grave than
II has ever been before, and Will cause
powerful sentiment among the American
people in favor of Interference. The re-
mort that Wcylers successor, Blanco,has
resolved to continue the system inaugnr-
ated by the butcher OF concentrating the
women and children In the towns and
villages there to die Ike sheep of starv-
alton, has innamed the public mind In
this country, and II Is more than proba-
bic that 1t will find expression through
Congress.
A Havana dispatch states that '5tarva-

plIsh. Women and children. the weak,
the old, are dying like sheep. The rural

bodies are thrown into the fields To be
eaten by the birds and dogs"
The bird" OF which this correspond
ent writes are vultures. The vultures
are gorged; the dogs can eat no more.
This is but small part OF the story,
which Is strange as It may seem. ad-
mltted by the Spanish papers in Havana
70 be true. though they are trying 10 sup
press the worst features 1t is the direct
result of Weyler's policy of making war
upon women and children, with a DELHI
crate intention to exterminate the Cuban
people; and now Il seems. notwithstand-
Ing the announcement that under the
new ministry reforms would be insh-
tuted and a more humane policy would
be adopted. the awful system Is to be
continued.
The United States government was dis
posed to give the Spanish government a
chance 10 carry out the promised re-
forms, and the American people hailed
with pleasure the new policy which was
TO grant the Cubans measure of free
dom and bring the war to close in a
humane manner The Indications that
after all little IS to be hoped for on this
line has again aroused public feeling
against spain's atrociouspoficy, and there
seems to be but one thing probable-ac-
ton by Congress to bring the war to a
close.
A Warrington dispatch says In this
connection that President Mckinley,
whose first contention was that the
brutal policy of concentration must
cease, will act in accordance with public
sympathy and lay the matter before
Congress in order that It may take such
action as Is deemed wise. Expressions
OF leading men of the country are to the
effect that something must be done, and
It is known that the sympathies OF the
President and his cabinet have been
aroused by the revelations concerning
the suffering of the helpless victims OF
Spanish brutality.
What action can be taken under the
circumstances aside from recognition Of
beliigerent rights remains to be seen.
This country can scarcely relieve the
wants Of the starving people OF Cuba.
Secretary Sherman, while deeply moved
by the starvation news, points out that
no Americans are suffering. they having
been provided for by Congress. In the
meantime, before Congress meets the
policy OF Blanco WITH have developed, and
whether or not the promised reforms are
effective Will be determined. The Presj-
dent will doubtless lay before Congress
all the Information in his possession upon
which that body can base intelligent
action.
The gravity of the situation cannot be
exaggerated, and for that reason precipi-
tate action would be regrettable. The
possibilities OF war with Spain are not
remote, but every effort should be made
to settle the difficulty without bloOdshed
The people of this country do not want
war; they simply want right and justice
to prevail, peacefully, II possible.

The official returns of Greater New
York election show that Tammany is a.
oI1 votes in the minority, although elect
ed, which shows that II the elements Of
opposition to the corrupt organization
had combined, which they could have
done but for the course of Seth Low, the
city would have been spared the dis
grace OF re-elecHng to power the crowd
that was turned out after having plum
dercd the Taxpayers for so many years.
The victory OF the Tammany Demo-
cracy was not due to It's own popularity,
Ms the vote shows, but to the fact that
the opposition was divided. Tammany
gets the spolls for the present but from
practical political standpoint the vote
does not show that II can be regarded no

elton now knows It's strength, and let US
