IN7ERTENTION WITHOUT REcOGNI7ION.

INTERTENTION WITHOUT RECOGNIHON.
The President IS credibly reported TO favor
Intervention In Cuba. if it shall be found nee
cssnry for the redress Of wrongs and the res
,oration OF peace. but without recognition Of
tbe indcpondcnce Of the so-called Cuban Rcpub-
liz That is the feature of his policy which
will probably provoke most controversy IT Is
already opposed by some Americans. and ls de-
nounced bitterly by some Spokesman OF the
Cuban insurgents. There are those. apparently.
who have imagined that this country would
abandon its impartial attitude. espOuse the
cause Of the INSURGENTS and recognize the no
madic administration Of the latter as SOW
eregn Power, the peer of any on the globe. A
little serious consideration of the matter should,
however. convince any one not subject 10 III
terlor motives that such recognition would be
ip1udicious and that the Presidents policy Is
the one most likely to serve the welfare not
only of this country but also Of the Cubans
themselves.
IL tho United States shall intervene In Cuba,
Il will do 50 not for the sake of placing the
iusurgent government in power AT Havana,
but in order 10 redress It's own wrongs, to re-
store peace and to abate III" sufferings Of the
non-combatant population Of that island. Those
are the only grounds on which it's intervention
Is to be justified. Without them this country
would have no more right 10 Interfere in the
domestic affairs OF Spain than Spain would
have had to interfere in our domestic affairs
In 1861. There are higher ends TO be served
thnn those which are merely political or tinan-
cial, and those higher ones are the ends this
Government has In view. II is seeking not
selfish aggra ndizemcnt, but redress for intolera
bic INJURIES 1t Is striving not for the gori
fcation of this or that group Of politicians. but
for the honor Of this Nation and the welfare OF
the whole Cuban people.
Without In the least impeachiDg the character
of the men composing the so-callcd Cuban Gov
eminent, It must be frankly stated that they
have not yet sufficiently established their au-
thority to entitlc them TO recognition as q SOW
eregn Power, nor convinced the world that
they are the chosen and representative rulers
Of majority OF the Inhabitants OF the island
Of Cuba. They represent the insurgents in the
field. But the latter are small minority OF
the whole population. There are the hundreds
Of thousands of reconcC nrados, and there
some scores Of thousands Of Spanish lOyasts.
all OF whom have right to be taken into The
whole would accept the insurgent government.
1t may be that a majority would not do so.
This Government does not know. Ii has at
present no means OF knowing No general vote
of the people can be taken until peace and order
are restored. But assuredly this country does

TILE CRISIS AND TIE DAY.

A sensational change in the immediate aspect
Of the Cuban crisis is reported in our dispatches
from Washington ills morning The President
did not send TO Congress yesterday the mes
sage which he had prepared for that purpose
He may not send II In before Monday. The
decisive action by Congress. providing for an
ultimatum TO Spain and Intervention in Cuba
was therefore not taken. The Presidents re-
quest for postponement was unhesitatingly ac
ceded 10 by the two houses which have learned
that delay when he asks II. is patriotic wis
dom. The menace OF war. which twenty-four
hours ago seemed close at hand, Is now. at least
for time removed TO degree. and the posi-
billty Of preserving peace. which seemed we'll
nigh infnltnsimal is proportlonately increased
The reasons for this surprising change cannot
with propriety be fully published at this time
That they are entirely satisfactory and highly
credl,able TO the United States Government may
be taken as assured. One that Is put forward
might. indeed. alone be ample. That is the
menacing attitude of the Havana mob toward
Americans. and the fear that action or utter
ance here might provoke n wholesale slaughter
there In few days all Americans can be
removed from Cuba and that danger will be
past Such delay for such purpose must com
and aggressive.
Another reason. equally potent and more
abiding. II true IS mentioned Information OF
It is less certain than OF the foregoing, yet
sufficiently direct to merit mention and
sdcration. 1t is reported from Madrid that the
Spanish Government is on the point Of yielding
10 the American demands The Queen Regent,
perhaps emboldened by tho receipt OF assur-
Il.
be protected against overthrow. has taken mat
tiers into her own hands. She will order m
armistlce and take immediate steps toward
so tsfying the aspirations OF the Cubans. The
Sagasta Ministry. thus ovcrrued. may resign
and be succeeded by one under the headshp Of
that wise statesman. pure patriot and friend Of
the Queen, Senior Sivela. Redress will De made
for the loss Of the Maine, and the Spanish flag
will be Withdrawn from the Western Hemis-
pherc Such is the report, which may or may
not be true.
These and all other details OF the case, are
matters which the public may well leave TO the
Government, and which Congress may we'll
leave to the President Each day that passes
Only confirms the wisdom Of such trust. The
President is managing the case with consum-
mate skill and with unimpcachablc patriotism.
He will not hesitate TO lay 1t before Congress
just as soon as 1t reaches point-if it ever
does where the cooperation Of the Legislature
with the Executive seems necessary His readi-
mes 10 do that has been made manifest. Until
then 1t behO0ves the Nation to wait in patience,
assured that An good time the tragedy OF the
Maine will be atoned for in the fullest manner.
the weary woe Of Cuba will be at an end and
the honor Of the United States will be vindi-
Gated before all the world.

TILE FINANCIAL POSITION

Two incidents deserve special attention at this
time for their bearing upon the financial ability
of the Government to meet any strain. The
voluntary offer by the New-York Life Insur
ance Company to loan $10,000,OO0 to the Gov
eminent on such terms as it may deem proper
and 10 provide the money mt once whenever
desired is without doubt only a foretaste OF
the zeal with which great financial institutions
throughout the country will hasten 10 tender to
the Government any assistance it may need. At
present its Treasury is amply supplied. and IL
an issue OF bonds were found necessary on ac-
count Of impairment Of the gold reserve any
amount that could be offered would he mmcdi-
atcly taken on favorable terms. But 1t Is high
~ probable that the surplus in the Treasury
with moderate temporary loan, may suffice
for all necessities il the conflict should not be
prolonged. and in that event such proffers as
tho one mentioned might he found Of service
The able and judicous statement by Assistant
Secretary Nanderlip regarding the resources at
command Of the Government in case Of need Is
particularly timely. II Is a good thing TO have
presented for public consideration at once the
necessity for special taxes to meet extraordinary

THE THTRTY-D4Y BILLS.

The strongly indicated sentiment in favor OF
the biennial sessions amendment ls not likely
10 be diminished by tho announcement that
about SIX hundred thirty day bills are awaiting
the action Of the Governor This is not the
largest number record by any means. nor
is tho list generally supposed to contain
many positively mischevous measures NJ have
often survived the adjournment OF n LeSislat-
ure 4 Few Of the bills in the Governors hands
are known to he more than unworthy Of
place on the statute books. Perhaps the clear
est case Of lnlqulty IS the scheme for enabling
Diver and other discarded figures OF the old
police court days 20 recover a standing in pub
lie life. This. Ike the "Ilucklebcrry" promo
ton BIZ. IS commonly recognized rs one Of the
deals aeaina: which Governor Black set his
face early IN The session. Thus far he has most
honorably and effectively blocked the arrange
mcnt which Tammany expected him TO ratify.
and We are not prepared to believe that he
will mar a good record ut this late day The
Burns Insurance bill and the bill relieving
street railroad companies from existing obllga-
lions NJ the expense Of the public also require
more justification than anybody has ycnturcd
70 offer. and are apparently we'll deserving Of
burial in tho Governors capacious waste basket
which the charge Of these six hundred bills
upon the executive office furnishes is derived
from the common knowledge that very few Of
them are In any way essential 10 the public
welfare. They do not conform 10 the excellent
standard which Governor Grlggs OF Ncw-Jerscy
set up when. upon going into office. he declared
that he should feel compelled 10 veto every
measure which did not respond 10 n real and
laton should be- comparatively harmless Law
makers are not deputci 10 pass bills Of that
sort. Beyond doubt no general interest would
have been injured or impcrilled II nlnc-tenths
Of the measures over which Governor Black
must toll for n month had never got n far as
the calendar. The Legislative output IS enor-
mousy excessive. II ought to be reduced.
Biennial sessions would in all probability have
that effect, and therein exists strong arcu.
ment in their favor. Admittedly It IS not n
conclusive argument but unless we are much
mistaken 1t viii appeal powerfully TO public
opinion during the next two years

The attempt 10 cncroach upon the preserves
OF the Mctlakahtla Indians has appeared in n
new FORM In 1t the purpose is not quite 50
apparent as In some Of the previous schemes.
but II is no less than ever q menace to the
civilization which has been established among
these Indians by n faithful and devoted mis-
sionary In spite OF great trials and discourage
mcnts. a bill has been introduced in the House
OF Representatives by Mr. Dovcncr 80 create
n permanent reservation on Annette Island" a
project which would seem on It's face 10 be for
the protection Of the Indians; but its passagc
would mean their destruction. For, while con
land much less than Is now reserved to them
by law II leaves the rest OF Annette Island open
to the invasion OF mining adventures and lum-
bermen, whose advent would surely undo all
that years OF patient labor have done for the
elevation OF these simple people
The story OF the Mcilakahtlas IS one which
ought TO appeal 10 every hgh-mnded man. Mr.
Duncan. their teacher is an Englshman who
many years ago devoted himself 10 training
