THE SPANISH MINISTER'S CASE.

American citizens may criticise their
President because he is not and does
not claim to be any better because of
his office, nor less fallible than the
humblest citizen. But they do not a.
cord this peculiar privilege to people
and representatives of other nations
not American citizens. While Amer
leans may talk about their President
as a man and criticise him as they
please, he none the less represents in
their eyes the government of the
United States, and an insult to that
from another nation is an insult to
every American with blood in him. In
such a case party lines melt and
Americans are one.
President Mckinley, as the supreme
Official representative of the American
people, should not have waited for the
Spanish cabinet to accept Minister De
Lome's long since rendered resigna-
ton. The President should have
given Enrique Dupuy de LONE his
passports at once, without waiting for
his resignation or recall. His gross
insult to the President is a gross in
suit to the nation.
The Spanish minister's offense is
objectionable and ineXcusable. His
letter to a Spanish editor describes
the Presidents message as bad and
containing natural and inevitable
coarseness.' 1t describes the Presi-
dent himself as weak and catering
to the rabble and, besides, low poll
tician. who desires to leave a door
open to lie and to stand well with
the jingoes of his party"
For infinitely less than this Presi-
dent McKinleys predecessor gave the
British Minister, Sackville West, his
passports Minister West could not
leave this country too quickly.
Spanish Minister De Lomes offense
is greater and his insult thousand
times more coarse, broad and brutal.
1t is beyond the pale Of diplomatic
consideration and should have been
treated as its tiagrancy deserved ana
Minister De Lone sent out OF the
country forthwith.
Spain's actions, not only her inhn-
man warfare in Cuba, but her long
- ,11,r af an
against the United States, in Spanish
ports, shows that Spain has never
been within the past quarter Of a CEN
fury the friend of America. This last
gross insult came on top of many
acts of marked official unfriendliness.
The United States have shown Spain
forebearance enough. This last and
greatest insult called for prompt
action, which was due the American
people.
De Lone was not only insulting to
the head of the American nation, but
showed his treacherous Spanish nature
by his advice that our commercial re-
lations be agitated, IF only for effect, :
that England be played against this
country, and he showed his contempt
for American statesmen by asking
that stuffed Spanish grandee be sent
over here whom he might use to over
awe the administration and the Con-
greSs of the United States
The Spanish cabinet has accepted
De Lome's resignation Send that will
probably end the inc. but Ameri-
can national honor I that De

HOW A SMALL GANG RUNS THINGS.

HOW A SMALL GANG RUNS THINGS.
The First Branch of Council, last
night, by virtue of the power vested in
a majority of the members present,
saw fit to non-concur in the almost
unanimous decision of the Second
Branch to have the annual city state
ment published in ALL the city papers,
in accordance with time honored pre-
cedent, and to follow this up by slap
ping a committee of conference in the
face and laying its report, favorable to
printing, on the table. Many Repub-
licans in the Second Branch, and one
in the First, recognizing the situation,
fought energetically against the small
coterie Of First Branch members who
insist upon running the city their way,
but to no avail, and at the end of the
session President Chew, of the Second
Branch, introduced and the Branch
passed. a resolution 1nstructing the
City Solicitor to ascertain and report
just what authority the First Branch
had to refuse to adopt a report of a
conference committee, to which had
been delegated, by the fact Of its ap-
pointment, power to settle disputes be-
tween two legislative bodies. AS will
ceedings, the First Branch crowd
voted down a resolution to have the re-
port published in the one German pa
English, and that Messrs. Mcclure and
Ebeling were the leaders in downing
this resolution, as they were in laying
aside the conference report.
The plan OF having the city state
ment published in but "some" paper.
according to the letter Of the law--that
some" paper meaning, of course. the
Intelligencer-or originated with Coun-
Gilman Horkheimer in the Committee
on Accounts 1t was simply an ebul-
lition of petty partisan spite against
the Register which has been fearless
enough TO take the side of the people
the taxpayers--and expose the schemes
of the City Hall gang to burden the
city with increased taxation and to
DEFEAT these schemes single handed.
The latest act of the Register in de-
Tense of the public pocket against the
hoggish combination at the City Hall
was the defeat of the refunding ordin-
ance, the prime mover in which was
Councilman Horkheimer That scheme
would have handicapped the progress
of the city for a generation and more.
Hence this exhibition Of malicious par
tisan spite against the Register to de-
prive it of pcy for publication of the
city statement-an act which subverts
the custom of nearly fifty years in
this city The author of it seems to
have an abiding faith in the power of
dollars to compel or to revenge.
In this case, however, Councilman
Horkheimer and his followers in the
First Branch have reckoned without
their host, for the Register forthwith
publishes this city statement just the
s,,me, because the Register regards it
as its duty to place so important a doc
ument before its readers.
While they would probably prefer
that the Register should not make
this publication, the Register
prefers to do it. and to
give the widest possible publicity to
the financial status of the city under
the rule of the city hall close corpora
ton. The city hall people evidently
