CLASSIFICATION ON THE SPANISH
QUESTION.


There appear to be three distinct follow
ings in the United States in regard to the
Spanish difficulties. The first OF these may
be STYLED the Presidents following. They
believe that peace and independence. or,
if not absolute independence that which
is in effect the same, can be secured without
war They claim that the Sagasta Ministry
has yielded point after point to the Presi-
dent. and that eventually it will yield all
that is demanded 1t is said that the Presi-
dent believes that if the present suffering
of the reconcentrados can be relieved by
the United States with cessation of hostili-
ties all that is required for Cuba can be
obtained.
The second element is made up of those
men in Congress and elsewhere who fear
that the Presidents policy will not secure
the desired results. They would not parley
much longer with the Sagasta Ministry. In
the Republican party these men in Congress
were represented by the conference held on
Tuesday. To that element most of the In
diana delegation belong. They would ac-
company the appropriation OF money to re-
lieve the suffering with a declaration that
the war must end within a given period
In other words, they would give Spain no.
tice to quit, and, if she refuses, take steps
to compel her to do so. There is reason
to believe that this element or following is
rapidly increasing.
The third class is the Mason party. They
want war, or what Mr.. Mason calls 'glo-
rious war" right off They would declare
it at once They conceive that the Cuban
Junto, which keeps safely out of harms
way. and the insurgents can give Cuba a
model government. They would have our
war ships, as Mr.. Mason has declared, pro
coed to riddle the forts of Havana which
General Grant declared years ago could re-
sist any attack from the water. They would
not wait to raise and aeclfmate an army,
but they would raise regiments and rush
them to Cuba, regardless of the fact that
a change of climate would cause soldiers to
die of disease by the hundreds and thou
sands if it were large army. This is the
glorious war of Mr.. Mason. His following
is made up of the sort of people who fill
the galleries at Washington to applaud SEN
ator Mason. They are not thoughtful peo-
ple, and neither Mr.. Mason nor they have
the faintest idea of taking part in that
war personally. Indeed the most of these
people who talk war at once have no ex-
pectation of taking the chances of dying
by going to Cuba to carry a rifle
If the Presidents policy were more def
mite if it was not so much an expectation
that Spain will ultimately give Cuba it's in
dependence an expectation which others
who are quite as anxious as is he to escape
the horrors of war are not able to share
most of the thoughtful and soundly patri-
otto people of the country would be in ac-
cord with him.

superintendent Goss and the schools.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
According to statements made in the pub
lie press, the School Board may change SUI
perintendents at the close of the school
year. Superintendent Goss has some faults
Gas who has not?), and he has some strong
POINTS, and these should not be overlooked.
He has fought harder to put poor teachers
out of the schools and to put good ones in
than any man who has ever been superin-
terdent of our schools, and in doing this he
has made enemies. If he is to go out the
public should know this, and they should
know also, that some of his bitterest enc
mics are members of the board who have
not been able to force incompetent teachers
upon the schools over Mr.. Gosss protest.
This is a fact, and if need be the names
and details can be givel 1t is lamentable
fact that there are few men on the School
Board who will sacrifice the best interests
of the children in order to find places for
personal friends. Mr.. Cess has dared to
stand against this thing, and is now in dan
ger of losing his place for it. Would it not
be better to remove some of the members
of the School Board? * Y. u.

ter the matter, and upon the degree OF en-

There can be no such thing as silver
Republican, because the Republican party
has always opposed free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
Yet there are those who insist on calling
themselves silver Republicans. Representa-
tive Hartman, of Montana, is one and Mr.
Towne, of Minnesota, is another. If the
term is to be used it should be applied to
those silverites who were once Republic
ans and are now most violent in their as
saults upon the Republican party. Some of
them are interested in silver mining and
others are travelling over the country under
the pay of a league whose funds are raised
by silver mine owners Some of them are
so violent that they have parted with their
he declared that the owners of Spanish
bonds and the gold syndicate were con-
trolling the action of the President. 1t is
not probable that any Spanish bonds are
owned in the United States. For many
years they have not been regarded as a
safe investment and have not been taken
by conservative investors. Those bonds are
mainly held in France, England and Ger
many by persons who take great risks
They are quoted below 50 cents on the dol
lar. In any event they are little better than
dead property Therefore. when Mr. Hart
man or any other man charges that the
holders of such bonds are influencing any
one in this country he shows that he has
parted with his sense and Judgment.

Dispatches from Washington and Madrid
indicate thai important developments in the
Cuban situation will probably occur within
q day or two. These may come as the re-
suit Of conferences between Minister Wood
ford and Premier Sagasta, or of special
message from President Mckinley to Con-
gress. e former would probably involve
proposed concessions of ,op,e kind by Spain
and the latter new and more vigorous
policy by the President. In either case Con-
gress can well afford to wait day or two
longer before attempting to take control
OF the situation out of the hands OF the
President.

II the Sagasta Ministry, upon which Pres
Ident Mckinley was waiting yesterday, pro-

The action of the Republicans in the
House in sustaining the speaker in ruling
that Mr.. Bailey's resolution recognizing the
independence of Cuba was not a question
of privilege was correct. 1t was in no
sense a privileged question, and most of
those who voted that it was must have
known it. While it is probable that such
a resolution coming fairly before the House
would have been adopted by decided ma
jority, it is probable that it would in no
way promote the interests of the Cubans.
Under such a recognition the Cubans could
purchase and ship from our ports the same
kinds of merchandise that Spain is now per-
mitted to purchase, but it would put an end
TO the efforts to relieve the starving thou
sands, which seems to be the duty nearest
at hand. 1t would also give Spain the priv
ilege of searching all our ships. This would
lead TO war. but otherwise it would not
hasten Cuban independence.
