LIE SlTuATION.

Probably,before this issue of the RE.
IsTER reaches our readers the president
of the United States viii have made OPP
erative by his signature one of the most
mOmentOus measures which has passed
congress since 1861. As this number of
the paper is being made ready for the
press the lower house of congress has
already passed a resolution authorizing
the president forcibly to intervene in Gu.
ba with view to the establishment of
stable and independent government, and
the senate is engaged in discussing a
similar resolution. The president will
no doubt Immediately add his signature
and at once proceed to take active meas
ures as directed by congress.
There is the possibility, however, that
actual war may yet be avoided; but this
result can only be attained by the
prompt evacuation of Cuba by Spain
and her REIMBURSEMENT of all sover-
eighty over the island. Such a pro-
ceeding is not expected; for even if the
Spanish government were so disposed, a
revolution in that country would almost
certainly result, with the Inevitable de-
position of the boy king. Spain has
probably done everything she safely can
do to avoid rupture with the United
States but this is not saying much, nor
is it complying with the demands of this
country, made in furtherance of perpet-
ual peace and security of property and
life in Cuba. Nothing short of Spanish
evacuation will do it.
While hoping that the Just and humane
object of our government may be attain
ed without "A resort to the "arbitrament
of war, America will accept war almost
with unanimlty if the object sought can
not be attained without it. The destruc-
ton of the Maine silently but surely has
brought about this result

The Hackensack, n. j., Republican
says: ut may be that railroads in
New Jersey do not receive too much
favor from juries, but there begins to
be a strong suspicion, in view of very
recent decisions, that these corpora
tions are getting quite all the favor
they are entitled to from the judges in
this State.
Commenting upon this the Newark,
N. j., Call says: "If defenders OF our
courts object to this criticism, they
must, at least, cOncede that the pref
udice has some excuse. 1t is observed
by the people that railroad managers
exert great influence in appointments
made by all Governors and that while
railroad counsel are sometimes made
judges, those who appear prominently
in opposition to railroads are careful
ly overlooked. They read the de-
cisions OF the court, in which the rail-
roads somehow seem to get the best
of the citizens, probably because they
hire better lawyers; they see the judg-
es riding to and fro on free passes;
they find the courts, without authority
In law, reducing verdicts rendered for

Governor Hazen s. Pingree, of Mich
igan. made an address before the
Nineteenth Century Club, in New
York recently, on Municipal Prog
ress," and his remarks, telegraphed
all over the country for publication,
are making people do a deal of think
ing. Governor Pingree was Mayor of
Detroit for four terms, and related his
experience as Mayor He said that he
found that the railroads were cheating
the city in their taxes. He compelled
them to pay their just dues, and made
enemies of them Then he found that
the street railroads and other corpora
lions were imposing on the city, and
he promptly called them to account.
Here is what he says, and it probably
describes the conditions in the aver
age city.
Among those who opposed reform
we're some regarded as of the highest
types of the city. Judges, Senators
and members of the Legislature, bro
kers. merchant princes. All eminent
