WHY NOT?

Los Angeles Herald: AS Cuba is
about to be invaded by our army, and its
subjugation cannot long be postponed,
a little indulgence of the imagination
is quite pardonable. The object of the
invasion is to aid the insurgents.in gain
ing their independence and their army
is to be a cooperating force After
that people have been mercilessly plum
dered and bUtchered by the Spanish,
why would it not be in the line of
Just retribution to require General
BIanco to surrender his sword TO Gen
eral Gomez? 1t would not be an act of
savagery; it would inf1ict no physical
suffering such as the Cubans have long
endured 1t might be humiliating, but
not more so than to Spain to recognize
Cuban independence-an act she must
sooner or later perform. 1t would help
in giving Importance to the Cuban pa
triots and would be an honor appreci-
ated by them. 1t would not be without
a pacifying and an elevating influence
upon the general Cuban mind.

WHY, OF COURSE.

Pasadena News: The boys coming
home because they were rejected at
San Francisco deserve the same credit
as those who go to the front. They
displayed the same grit and patriotism
as those who were accepted. 1t was
no fault of theirs, but rather a great
disappointment that they should not be
permitted to follow the flag into the
tenemy'S country.

A DEMOCRATIC MEM

|
Los Angeles Herald: For a long time
| the President was terrified by the
spook of an unholy war, and he doubt
ed, halted, and diplOmatiZed till the
country and Congress lost patience and
| forced him to do something decisive
| in protecting American rights and in
vindicating American honor. In his
message to Congress commencing the
conduct of Admiral Dewey and his
command the President uses the words
This triumph has come in just
cause" From this we gather the i'm
preston that his views are changed,
and. as his conscience will be at ease,
| it may reasonably be presumed that
there will be no more hesitation but,
on the contrary, there will be earnest
ness and energy in making the just
cause speedily triumphant.

AN UNBROKEN RECORD.
Santa Rosa Republican: Sonoma
County's great crop record is to con-
tinue unbroken this year. This is now
evident to all observers. The dews and
| fogs are taking care of the vegetation
on about all the properly cultivated
fields. While the yields will not be the
best in some instances, while other
years have often given better returns
for some or most crops, still the pro-
auctions will generally be fair and the
prices are sure to rule high 1t has
! long been the boast of our people that
Sonoma County has never had a crop
failure, and this season, after all the
unfavOrable early reports, is proving
no exception to the long established
rule In returns received from crops,
this year is sure to prove a good one
and the people may we'll work with
courage and hope.
Such seasons as the present may well
/ give even greater confidence in this
section of the State. Elsewhere there
| is drouth. There is no hope of even fair
returns from the fields In many c0un-
ties. Corn and grain are being shipped
| in from great distances and stock is be-
! ing shipped out to prevent starvation.
| 1t is a trying year to the commonwealth
as a whole. 1t is a year that will cause
shrinkage of values and suffering in
many neighborhoods. More of those
neighborhoCds can be found in this
upper section of the State. Sonoma, the
great rural county, viii continue to
/ head the list of the never-failing agri-
! cultural districts. 1t is good to live in
such a land and call it home.

on Corporations. Etc.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Demo-

Committee held conference late this
afternoon and agreed upon an amend
ment they will offer 10 the war revenue
BILL imposing Il tax of l per cent. upon
the revenues OF certain corporations, in
cluding railroad, express. sleeping
telegraph and telephone companies This,
probably. is the only addition they will
suggest TO the revenue portion OF the
bill but il is probable that they Will also
urge the coinage of the silver seigniorage
i'm the Treasury and the issuance OF at
least 900 in greenbacks. These two
latter propositions have not been agreed
upon. but they have been discussed sufii-
ciently To warrant the prediction that
they will be incorporated in the Demo
cratic substitute for the bond feature OF
the BILL The seignlorage amounts 10
about S42 600 600, and the intention is 10
authorize the issuance OF certificates for
N SO as TO secure immediate money, and
not wait upon the coinage or SILVER.
These certificates. with the greenbacks.
would give $l92,09o.00 OF immediate cash,
and the Democrats think TINS would pe
sufficient for the immediate wants OF the
government. They believe that the tax
they propose on corporations would in
crease the regular revenues TO the ex-
tent OF about s590oo.0Oo annually.
The Republican members OF the COM
mittee to-day considered the advisability
of tax upon transfers of stocks and
bonds. and II is probable that they VIII
propose such an amendment. as II Is be-
iieyed that. Incorporated In the bill. IL
would go far toward reconciling Senator
Wolcott TO the measure:
