CONGRESSIONAL ACTION.

scarcely in Justice be demanded.
For even the most aggressive will be salts

THE SNEAK RAILROAD BILL.

The objections to the Eldridgc Street Railroad
hill 10 which Governor Black listened last week,
have been supplemented by brief sent to MN
on Monday. He has signiticd his intention 10
consider this remarkable measure with great
care and the materials for forming an intelli-
cent opinion of its character are now in his
possession. II seems 10 us scarcely possible
that ne will fail to be convinced that it ought
not 10 receive his approval.
The bill is commonly designated rs the
Uuckleberry bill, for the reason that Whatever
doubt may exist as to the purport of some or
its provisions It's value to the holders OF the DIS
credited charter called by that name is nowhere
disputed But it is not on that account alone
or PERHAPS even chiefly that II deserves to fail.
At score of points it Is extremely vuhcrapie'
II might. and almost certainly would. produce
great and indefinite effects. NO one IS coihpe-
tsnt to cstimac or limit the operations which
would follow lis enactment. 1t Is Dill Ior inc

Mr.. DTLONS PATRIOTISM.

M. The latter hates England. The former

Dillon extends tho SHINE sentiments 10 America.
Mr. Davltt said me other day that the Anglo

Icrccivcs tina, the Ango-Saxon In America is n
potent and predominant fact, wherefore he
turns the battcrlc, OF his hatred against this
country revilcs and eXecratcs It. and prays
that Il mny be beaten by Spain. That is the
penalty we have incurred by having Great
Britain sympathize with us In the Spanish con
trovcrsy and by ourselves sympaihlzng with
Great Britain I'm the Chinese complications. II
Is very sad.
Mr. Dillon is. politically largely mn American
creation. lie has found hospitable refuge here
from tho oppression OF the hated Saxon He
has been lonzcd here. and applaudcd into
prominence he might no, otherwise have gained.
lie has drawn from this country large sums OF
money. not merely FOR the relief OF Irish dis
tress. but for the promotion and support OF tho
political cause he has AT heart, and Also II Is
we'll believed, for the furtherance OF his own
individual political interests. He would prob
ably not now be Member Of Parliament had
not the Irish Parliamentary party been sub
sldizcd with American money. The Irish Home
Rule movement would never have become more
than parochial rucilon had 1t not been aided
by America with sympathy and ready cash.
Mr. Dillon rcvics the United States for It's toll
Grant and kindly attitude toward the Cuban
patriots. 1t IS well within bounds to say that
whatever Of asylum. sympathy and aid has been
given to Cubans by this country. ten times as
much has been given by It to Ireland and to
Mr. Dlllons fraction OF Ireland.
And now Mr.. Dillon turns again and rcnds
us. II was not unexpected. There may be
those TO whom II Is surprising Their vision
IS not clear There may be those 10 whom IT
seems ingrattudc. Their judgments are not
Just. There are higher motives than gratitude

~. No doubt he IL profoundly grateful for all
America has done for Ireland and for him No

bound? And as for love, truth honor graft

1t is plain that in some minds there Is still

length Of acknowledging the entire indepen-

European Powers 10 do so and convinced that
the United States truly seeks Cuban indepen-

hope has n very slender and frail foundation.
II may be admitted, in the light Of oil that

before Congress the responsibility Of deciding
whether there shall he even a single days fur

THE RULE or INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Some good men, in Congress and out of IT,
seem 10 have been disturbed by the idea that
forcible Intervention in Cuba, to stop the pres
ent international nuisance. would involve n
great financial risk unless we previously recog
nlzed the independence OF the insurgent govern
ment claiming It's capital at Cubitas. These
insurgents, * is said. could rcpudiatc the Cuban
debt; but II had not recognized them and
yet turned Spain out. VIC should have TO pay It,
The apprehension seems to us groundless
In the first place there is no Cuban debt in
question There Is n dcbt incurred by Spain
IN attempting to hold on to Cuba against the
will OF the Cubcns Spain has even pledged
the revenues it expected 10 collect from Cuba
for the payment Of this debt But. II It does
not control these revenues, hasn't the security
vanished nd did not the lenders take that risk
What recourse then have the hondholdcrs I'M
less upon the ssuer Of the bonds!
There has been much solemn talk about rue
of International Law that where n country is
conquered. or revolutonizcd its new Sovereign
must assume It's lawful debts. But where In
the history Of the world since International
Law began 10 develop out OF chaos, was II held
that among the lawful debts OF IN oppressed
people, struggling for freedom, were TO be reck-
oned the costs OF prolonged effort 10 cnsavc
them? When the common judgment OF the
civilized world holds that to be justice. the
United States might. by Intervention without
recognition, become responsible for the Spanish
debt on Cuban account,-ccrtainly not sooner.
If there Is n recognized authority on Intcrna-
tional Law that has ever laid down contrary
rule. we should like TO see It produced. We no

In these days, when every amateur statesman
feels IT incumbent upon him to save the Nation
from the dire consequences which Will ensue If
the President does not Immediately declare for
war or does not tell the country that we have
no concern with the trouble in Cuba whichever
his idea may be- ii Is particularly interesting TO
note the attitude preserved by the two living
ex- Presidents Of the United States. Perhaps
neither Of them agrees with Mr. Mckinley as 10
the wsest policy to be pursued. and certainly
neither Of them would handle the subject just
rs Mr. Mckinley has done, for they differ from
him in temperament and methods. General
Harrison belongs to the Presidents party, while
Mr. Cleveland is n Democrat who, whatever
MAJ be his relations with his own party. has
never had any leanlngs toward Republcanlsm.
Yet they both hnve periodically abstained
from criticism Of Executive policy which they
of nil men were able 10 make integently.
Mr. Cleveland maintained that attitude OF re-
spcct for the responsibilities OF the Executive
when he had been succeeded by President liar
rison and the latter In turn, In spite OF all
political difference, never did anything TO en-
barrass President Cleveland, and now both
