Forcible Intervention by the United
States precipitates most serious mat
ter before President Mckinley. The
disposition of Congress is TO intervene
first and fix things up afterwards. The
Presidents disposition is to move very
cautiously in view of the perplexing
questions involved and he keeps the
future before him.
Independent Cuba will be a dreadful
white elephant on the hands of Con-
gress, just as the Southern States were
many elephants on its hands at the
close of the war. The Republican
party now sees its many blunders in
dealing with the negro question. Wiser
now than it was then, it sees, or Presi-
dent Mckinley sees, problem in Cuba
in every way more perplexing than the
negro question of the reconstructed
States.

immense white elephant being driven
into his door yard, and left there. is

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

The Spectator, one Of the conserya-
tive literary journals of England,
speaking of President Mckinley aad
the American Nation, says: They
have behaved with a really wonderful
dignity. There has been no clustering
or bullying by the Executive, and as
the gravity of the situation has in
creased so has the gravity and high
mindedness OF the Administration. The
Anglo Saxon race may well be proud
Of its bigger half"
Not since 1860, has a conservative
English journal expressed itself in this
generous way. After the visit of the
Prince of Wales in the United States

A DISAGREEABLE OPINION.

The Washington Post, always firm
friend of annexation, and always we'll
informed in political affairs has an
editorial which again affirms the need
of annexation. 1t says:
But it is clear to us that the so
called reciprocity treaty between Ha-
waii and the United States is an expen-
sive and indefensible blunder. There
is no element of reciprocity in it. We
admit Hawaiian sugar TO our ports free
Of duty, thereby presenting foreign SUI
gar producers with several millions of
dollars annually, and we receive in re-
turn-what? The friends of the treaty
point to the fact that our merchants
practically control the trade of Hawaii,
and that is, perhaps, approximately
true. But two very important queries
present themselves in this connection
''First-To what extent does the
treaty influence our commercial rela-
tons with the Islands, and
Secondly supposing the case
to be one of cause and effect, is the
trade of sufficient Importance to war
rant us in giving away five or six mil
lions annually to alien sugar planters
and to that extent discouraging and
burdening our domestic industries?
For our part, we believe that such
trade as we have with Hawaii comes to
us legitimately and without the slight
est reference to the free admission of
her sugar. We believe, too, that the So
called reciprocity treaty operates at
every point to our disadvantage. 1t is
a treaty which we should not tolerate
for one instant with foreign nation,
since aliens receive all the benefits and
we bear all the burdens. Our own pro-
ducers of sugar are subjected to the
competition of foreign producers, who
operate under intellectually superior
conditions. Our free and intelligent
labor is antagonized by the semi-bar-
barous labor of Asia. American indus
tries are checked in their development
so that foreign industries may thrive.
Nothing more improvident, less pa
triotic, more unstatesmanlike, could be
imagined. If we decide to adopt Ha-
wall, to take it into the American
Union, and to throw open TO our own
citizens all the splendid opportunities
and possibilities it presents, that is one
thing. But to continue treaty which
gives to a foreign nation and an alien
people such conspicuous advantages at
our expense, is quite different one.
For that arrangement there is no con-
ceivable excuse"
The above extract shows the drift Of
feeling in the States. As we have rati-
fed the treaty of annexation, there is
perhaps nothing more for us to do, but
those who are here opposed to the
treaty may as well understand what
lies in the future.

Blanch X. Bruce, once United States
Senator from Mississippi, and for some
years registrar of the treasury in
Washington. recently died in that city.
He was not pure negro. Whatever
talent he derived from the white blood
in him, it is certain that he took some
strong and valuable points from his
negro ancestry. He called himself a
negro, and in his intercourse with the
whites, in public life, seemed to uncon-
sciously recognize the superior race. 1t
is said, and we believe the story has
never been in print. that while Senator.
the wife of his old master came to the
Senate chamber. and told him of her
poverty and distress. and asked his aid
in getting some situation in one of the
departments. He at once called two
carriages. In one he placed his former
mistress, and he directed the driver to
take her to the treasury department.
He entered the other carriage and fol-
lowered her. He would not disturb the
race prejudiees of even his broken
down former owner, by offering to ride
in the same carriage with her. He Sc
cured a situation for her at once. He
even refused to sit in her presence.

that the political millennium had come,
when the two great branches of the
Anglo-Saxon race had agreed 10 keep
step together IN the advance of eivili-
zauon. John Bull and Uncle Sam fell
on each others necks and wept for
joy. and put their arms around each
other in a love feast. 1t was the first
outburst OF sentimentalism since the
war of 1872. Both raised their hands
10 Heaven and at the suggestion of any
future differences. shouted: Never,
never. Gever,"
A few months after this. the Civil
war in America began. The love feast
ended. The dishes were broken. The
spread was torn from the table, and the
table itself was upset. The two old
gentlemen shook their fists at each
other. Uncle Sam said that John Bull
wished TO break up the Union. John
Bull retorted that Uncle sam wanted to
subjugate the South. Christian men
interfered and said that they were not
obeying the teachings of Christ. Both
cried out that illusions TO Christ were
inopportune and unbusiness like. Then
came the Trent affair, and the indig-
nant old fellows refused TO recognize
each other in the street. The political
mellenium baby died in its little cradle.
After IS years passed in cold polite
ness and mutual disgust at the hug
ging and kissing OF 1860, the Spectator,
representing the best thought and Gull
ture of England. repeats the language
Of the love feast.
Next, we shall hear, in public, repe-
tidon of the unconcealed thoughts of
British Statesmen. John Bull viii say:
Now Uncle Sam, why don't you take
Hawaii and done with it? We don't
like your policy, like that OF Russia
and France of keeping the trade of
your territories to yourself. But you
Will come around all right in time.

IN CUBA.
Difference Between Armistice and
Suspension"

Suspension"
In speaking yesterday of the situa-
ton in Cuba or with relation to Cuba
and Spain, a member of the Hawaiian
Cabinet said:
THE dispatches and good many of
the people both in this country and
abroad interchange quite enormously
the terms 'armistice' and suspension
of hostilities' The two differ vastly.
An armistice is rest by agreement OF
the two or more parties to conflict.
No agreement has been entered into
between Spain and the Cubans and the
Cubans have declared they will listen
to no overtures from the mother coun-
try. The dispatches say that Spain.
by the Queen Regent, and upon the
advice of the Pope, has proclaimed a
suspension of hostilities.' If this is
correct it seems more than likely that
the Cuban forces are still actively in
the field and if that is the case the
Spanish forces are naturally at least
on the defensive. 1t is not at all I'M
safe to assume, if our advices are to be
depended upon, that war is proceeding
as usual in Cuba. If that is the case,
additional strength and significance
are given to the message of President
Mckinley to Congress"

THE OLD JORDAN MILL.
The Plant to Be Equipped With the
Latest and Best Machinery.

1t viii not be long now before the
Old Jordan & Galena, at Bingham, will
be equipped with one of the most COM
plete cyanide plants for the treaang of
its low grade gold bearing ores to be
found in this western country, the con-
tract for the machinery having been let
to the Colorado Iron Works company
of Denver through its Salt Lake rep
resentative, A. Nj. Grant.
AS stated previously in these col
umns. the power for the operation of
this new plant is to be derived from the
concentration works now on the ground,
but its equipment otherwise will en-
brace some Of the finest mill machinery
on the market and will include the
following works:
One XII Improved Blake crusher.
One 6X9 Dodge crusher.
One set of PIMA standard belt rolls
with steel tires and housings complete.
One Challenge Eclipse feeder.
One large revolving dryer.
The crushing capacity of the plant
will be in the neighborhood of 100 tons
daily.
The contract for the tanks has been
let to Haynes & Son, of this city, while
Joe Dederichs has the contract of con-
struction. Work in the erection of the
mill is to be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. and when completed this will give
Bingham three cyanide reduction
works, and the probabilities are that
others will soon follow.
