IMPORTANT DECISION.

Madison, Wis, June 21.-LSpccial /
An important decision was handed duwl

case of D0herty vs.. the Northern Pacific
Railway company. The action wa:
brought to recover damages against th,
Northern Pacific for a tract of land takcI
for right-ofway purposes. situated he

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE = WHAT
NEXT2

President Mckinley and his advisers
have gone into this Cuban affair mucn
more thoroughly than the newspapers,
because the responsibility is largely
upon them of making war, or keeping
the peace.
With Cuban independence what
comes next? The President must take
this question in. He cannot make it a
separate matter to be dealt with after
wards. He must have a plan about it
definite and sufficient.
The island of Cuba has about the
same area as the State of Kentucky, a
larger area than Maine, or Indiana,
and little less area than the State OF
New York. This is a population OF over
l 100000. This is a population larger
than that OF any one of 49, Ameri-
can States and territories, and less
than that of only u States. The ser
iousness of the question becomes evil
dent at once.
The President is confronted with sew
eral propositions.
l. Cuba as an independent State is
incapable Of self-government, owing tc
the large numbers of negroes and
ignorant people of mixed blood The
i
people are in the average, it is said
less capable of self-goyernment thar

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The President does not favor the
acknowledgment Of the independence
OF Cuba He says il wiz do no good.
and embarrass the United States. If
independence is acknowledge, he must
recognize the Cuban Government, and
II he does he says there Is no telling
what that Government may do.
Therefore he simply asks Congress TO
authorize him 10 intervene. with power
10 use the navy and army, and stop the
war in Cuba. II Spain resists, he viii
fight her. His first point is TO stop the
war, prevent further crueIties and feed
the suffering. He is justified in doing
this o. ample ground. II he stops the
war, then ne demands that Spain shall
make such terms with Cuba, as will
prevent any further trouble He sits
down" on both sides until terms are
made, which he can accept. And he
viii accept nothing but the final indie
pendeuee Of Cuba. He does not say so,
but It IS quite clear that he sees no
other solution Of the difficulty
Congress, however, takes a different
view of the case, so far. It desires an
acknowledgment Of independence first
and an immediate intervention TO es-
tablish II The people are aroused, and
are impatient They want something
to be done. Congress reflects this sen.
timent
But the Indications, are, so far as the
latest dispatches throw any light on
the subject, that the Presidents policy
will prevail, because it Is the moderate
policy. Naturally the jingoes are mad
with the President, because he does not
~thirst for gore" Congress may over
ride him, but the chances are that mis-
policy Of stopping the var in Cuba al
once and making the independence OF
Cuba a secondary matter at present,
will prevail. Congress viii see that It
is another and better way to settle the
difficulty.
Unless Congress over-Edes the Presi-
dents policy. the acute stage Of the
difficulty IS now past, and the prob
abilities Of war rapidly decrease. Spain
has backed down, and that is signif-
cant The bankers OF Europe do not
propose 10 let Spain foolishly destroy
the value Of s490.OO0.O0o of Cuban
bonds which they hold. That mean:

They evidently do not believe there i;
much fun in il.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-04-22
Is 1T A SPANISH TRICK?

The voluntary suspension Of hostili-
ties in Cuba, by Spain, has, in one as
pect Of the case, the appearance of a
diplomatic trick, done in order TO draw
President McKinley's fire. Spain may
reason in this way: The President
proposes TO intervene, because ne says
We carry on cruel war. Very well.
let US stop fighting. What then can he
do? He can't intervene, if We don't
hurt anybody in Cuba He viii have
to tie up his fleets. If We stop fighting
President Mckinley must compel the
Cuans to stop fighting II they con-
tinue, he will have to help US, instead
Of helping them"
The case has this aspect, but We be-
lfeYe that il is not correct. The Presi-
dent, if Congress leaves it TO him TO
manage the affair viii say to Spain:
You have stopped fighting. But I
must fix up this affair so that it is set
tied forever. I shall not tie up our
fleets until We have come TO a final I'M
derstanding, so that you will never
make further trouble in Cuba 1 mean
that she must be practically indie
pendent Nothing short of this will do.
II you can get out of the scrape by let
ting her go, we may guarantee her debt
OF s445, COG, 600. And that arrangement
is really more than you deserve"
While the papers are full of news .
not one Of them, so far, can tell US just
what the European pressure on Spain
for settlement is.
Spain really loses by the suspension
of hostilities The American forces
are increasing every day. The Cuban
army has breathing spell The Span
ish expenses continue. While she may
be improving her ornaments, she is
crippled for means, while the United
States have enormous sums TO convert
into fighting material
One thing We know, President Nc
KiRley viii, under no circumstances,
accept any promises of Spain regard
ing good government in Cuba. Her
promises are worthless. She made them
10 General Grant and broke them. The
guns of the American feet will be
shotted until this matter is settled

RAILWAYS AND TEMPERANCE

One of the strongest, if not the
strongest forces, in aid of the temper
ance cause is the healthy Industrial
development. The temperance cranks
have failed TO see that the chief cause
of intemperanee is, aside from inheri-
ted disease, the unfavorable social and
industrial conditions. Put a man into
q place infested with cholera germs,
and he is liable to take cholera. Put a
man into social or industrial conditions
where his mind is worried, his hope of
betterment destroyed, his ambition
taken out of him by low or uncertain
wages, and you have at once the home
Of the alcohol baeilli.
Now come some of the railway com
panies who are practical reformers.
They give their employees good places,
remove all cause of apprehension, and
then say to them: You cannot drink,
because as a purely business matter We
cannot trust you 10 take care Of our in
terests." The Pennsylvania Railway
company employs about 10000 men.
These men are not only temperate, but
are teetotallers, under business engage
ments to be so. The cause of temper
anee is rapidly advancing, not on the
lines Of morals or sentiment, but sim
ply as business matter. In this is its
strength. The cause of intemperance
is due, in the largest measure to I'M
fortunate social and industrial condi-
lions. Poverty, and sickness, and dis
couragement make the drunkards, as a
rule The removal of these causes is
the best blue ribbon movement Alter
conditions, so that men, women and
children are made comfortable" and
the saloon goes. Until that is done, the
saloon will exist, and it will exist IN
