T4ITING EOR TIE CORTES.

The Spanish Constitution forbids the soyer-
elgn 10 sell or cede Spanish territory witnous
n special act Of the Cortes, wherefore the Span
ish Government cannot accede to the demands
of the United States. That is the latest plea
nut forward by Spain. or in behalf Of Spain
1t is altogether admirable and convincing. not
rs n plea or a defence, but as an example OF
what loglcians call non sequtur.
The United States does not ask Spain TO sell
or to cede Cuba 1t did ask her TO do so years
ago. 1t asked her twice, each time Offering
handsome price for the island. That was be-
fore the present Constitution was adopted. and
when the sovereign had power TO do as he-or
she-peased. But each time Spain became
angry and regarded the offer as an affront SO
the United States Government decided not to
make any more overtures for the purchase OF
the island and formally announced that deter
mination. In that. as in other matters. 1t mas
kept It's word. 1t has not asked Spain TO sell
Cuba. 1t does not ask her to do so.
1t does not appear. however. from some
what painstaking scrutiny Of the document that
the Spanish Constitution forbids the sovereign
to get beaten in war. or to act In accordance
with military exigences. II 1t does. Alfonso
NH has already violated it. For his armies
are beaten in Cuba. Commanded successfully
by the most distinguished the most cruel and
the most benevolent Of his generals. his armies
have been baffled and defeated by half-armed
insurgents of only onehaf their numbers He
has tried for three years TO subdue the Island
He has sent over by far the largest army any
Power has ever sent across the sea. And he Is
further from subdung the island to-day than
he was at the beginning. Surely the Constitu-
ton does not require him TO do Representatives,
Neither does the Constitution forbid his Gov
eminent to offer apology and to make repara-
ton 10 this country for the wrongs the latter
has suffered at Spanish hands. 1t does not
forbid the Spanish Government to act. in the
case Of the Maine. in a manner suggested by
honor and the friendly relations of the two
Governments" as President Mckinley gener-
ously assumed it would do. 1t does not forbid
it TO take prompt and energetic steps to purge
itself of suspicion of responsibility for that
hdeous crime. OF truth there are many
things the Government might do without wait
ing for a special act Of the Cortes.
Once upon time there was king who was
physically inirm. and as he sat by the fire one
day he fell from his chair into the fire and was
burned The room was crowded with cour-
tiers but none Of them burst pull him out
Of the fire because. according to the etiquette
Of the court not one Of them was OF suffi-
GENTLY exalted rank TO be entitled to lay
hands upon the person of the sovereign So the
poor king had to lie in the fire and burn until
some one came along who was worthy to pull
him out.
And that, the historian tells us. was a Span
ish king Can it be that Spain has learned
nothing since his day?

ARMY REORGANIZATION

The Army Reorganization bill has encoun
tered strong opposition In Congress which mp
pears to be based on sentimental rather than
practical considerations The plan to make any
necessary increase in the land forces Of the
United States by spreading out the existing
Regular Army and filling in the companies with
new men, instead Of forming new organizations
is objected to as sighting the National Guard
and as giving no chance to volunteer regiments
such as played so prominent part in the Civil
War.
1t is perfectly natural that the volunteers
should be held in loyal memory. but II should
not be forgotten that conditions OF possible war
have greatly changed since 1861. THEN volun-
tcers formed the bulk CT the soldiers on both
sides. They were all green together. and they
all seasoned together. Any external contests
are likely 10 bring us in contact with regular
troops. and discipline counts more than ever.
Moreover. the work OF the soldier Is in some
respects much more technical than II was thir-
ty-dve years ago. and more training Is required

THE STREET RAILROAD GRAB BILL.

One of the thirty-day bills now in Governor
Blacks hands Is the so-called Eldridge DILL
which was framed in the interest OF the street
railroads Of this city and introduced by re-
quest" The Governor gave hearing on IL
last Wednesday, and its opponents have until
Monday TO submit their brief 1t Is evident
from the Governors conduct that he means 10
consider the bill with unusual care. and 1t IS
therefore desirable to try to assist him in reach
ing a decision Here are some of the things
which the bill does:
II greatly dminishcs the liability OF rail-
road company to a forfeiture of its charter ny
default.
1t settles in favor OF the railroads the claim
that n change Of motive power creates new
franchise for which the city can exact payment.
1t provides that the construction ana opera
ton Of railroad, or the use OF new mo'i'e
power shall be presumptive evidence that inc
law has been complied with In all respects
That Is 10 say. temporarily successful iawiess-
ness is so strongly fortified as to make us
permanent success highly probable-in a word'
safeguarding is fostered.
In general it validates numerous lapsed ana
doubtful consents
In particular it confirms the disputed and I'M
savory charter Of the "Huckleberry' road.
1t abollshes restrictions. hitherto held 10 De
salnary. on increase of capital
1t voids. to n great extent. one or the wisest
and most generally approved provisions OF the
now city charter-namely, the one forblddlng
the grant of franchise for more than twenty
five years.
So much for the more important or those
provisions OF the bill which are capable or be-
ing understood by persons who did not draft u.
How was the bill passed? In furtlve and
shabby manner through violation OF the rules
having been printed without the required marks
distinguishing new from old matter. This was
not an accident Such accidents do not occur.
The intention was to hinder an easy ana accu-
rate comprehension OF the contents OF the Dill
Enough Is known as to its meaning and expect
cd operation 10 demand n veto. Enough re-
mains unknown to demand n veto. even II the
plaln parts were unobjeciionable.
In substance 1t is not exactly one OF the deal
hills TO which Governor Black has slgnfed his
upyelding hostility. but nevertheless it sayors
of deal because put through in combination
with the Page-Dvver atrociy. II provides one
of the opportunities still eft TO the Governor to
improve n record which throughout the session
was admirable.
