The protocol has been signed by the
president. This means peace. Our war
with Spain has found an end. Cuba
will be free. So also will Porto Rico.

fare-a war begun in the interest of
human liberty by a nation which had
already won its fight against the op-
pressor, and which held out it's hand
in succor to a weakling on it's thresh-
old.
There is a provision in the protocol
for the appointment of two commits
sions, one which shall hold it's session
in Paris. denominated a peace commits
sion, and a second organization Of a
military character to be held in Ha-
vana.

movements for peace; and this is as it
should be. 1t is triumph Of honest
purpose to forestall the farther ad-
vancement of tyranny, under whatever
name it may be exercised by foreign
governments upon this continent. 1t is
not necessary for US to speculate upon
the difficulties which the commissioners
may encounter. 1t is rather for us to
express the hope that whatever
they shall do will be right, because
nothing else will receive the approval Of
the American people. We started out
to give to Cuba her independence. We
have accomplished our work. Porto
Rico did not enter into the plan of leg
islative campaign. but we shall acquire
Porto Rico in the way of indemnity,

we shall take this fruitful island to our

An interesting point is raised in the liti
cation The defendants claim that the act of
1881. under which the st. Louis road was
organized, was unconstitutional, and therefore
they could not be held liable for its indebted
ness. The supreme court assents to that
claim, but says they accepted the benefits of
the law; and therefore they are held under
its provisions. The syllabus is as follows:

large expense in transit Counting all
the costs, it is undoubtedly true that
the transportation of merchandise
from the Atlantic to the Pacific sea-
board can be conducted far more
economically over rails than by wa
ter. AS for the military and naval
features associated with the undertake
ing, this country does not want to go
into the business Of maintaining forti-
fications at either end Of that canal.
This is not a warning country; but so
important would become the approach
es to the gateways on the west and on
the east that the United States would
be compelled to act as tollkeeper, at
the expense of maintaining a ready
approach of every ship.
Boiled down to simple proposition,
the Nicaragua canal, in view Of the
development Of our transcontinental
railway system, is as unimportant as a
fifth wheel to a wagon. The history Of
tablishes the fact that economies are
always being introduced and new In
ventions and applications Of a mechan-
ical nature are gradually bringing the
expense of movement to so low min
imum that the rivalry between water
gateways and railway transcontinental
means of transportation must disap-
pear in the general evolution of ma

A St. Paul Enterprise

The completion Of negotiations which
