POPULAR GOVERNMENT LOANS.
Kansas City Journal.
There is a moral and patriotic phrase
to a popular loan that makes it worth
more than the money consideration.
The citizen with $50 invested in his ma
tons paper takes on a new dignity
and a new feeling of responsibility.
The early Athenians taught us this.
When armies Were raised and cam
paigns fought through popular sub
scriptions it was as easy again as
when the same results were sought
through taxation. Let this government
take the great common people into its
confidence and make them feel as
though they were part and parcel of the
momentous affairs which are now de-
veloping and which will develop SO rap
idly in the nearby future.
THE INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.
New York Times.
Some days ago the government re-
ceived an offer of their services as
soldiers from the Sioux of South Dako-
ia. and now the Colorado Navajos have
asked for a chance to demonstrate
their prowess and loyalty. The Indian
in time of peace has never shown much
military promise. but this may have
been due to his dislike for strict dis
cipline and monotonous drill His ideas
of a victors privileges, however, are
disQuieting, and it is impossible to
forget the deserved odium incurred by
the British when they loosed their saw
age allies against our forefathers. Still,
the Indian has learned something in
the last century, and there is great need
of finding better use for him than
any to which he is now put.

The QUESTION oF CUBA.

BY accident the REGISTER published
last week in its news columns some very
foolish matter taken from the Chicago
Record upon the great question of Cuba.
There is practically now but one phase
of this question, determination in
America that the present war shall soon
cease, in the independence of Cuba, and
following which, we believe, her anneXa-
ton to the United States. Whatever
question there may have been with some
as to the propriety of this last is yielding
to the logic of events. Whilst it is not
desirable that the United States should
seek to enlarge its territory, it cannot
wisely refuse obligations of this kind
that are thrust upon it. Such obligations
should and must be accepted as they
come, and the new duties which they
bring met with proper spirit. That
Cuba is fated to become a part of the
great American Republic, and most
beautiful and important part, there would
not seem to be question, because her peO-
pie desire it, and the great American
nation sees that it is proper thing to
happen. Under no other circumstances
should it or could it we'll happen, but
under such circumstances it should and
we believe Will. OF course in few
years the island would become thoroughly
AmericaniZed.
That the brave people who have been
fighting for their freedom for three
years, would make good citizens, goes
without asking, and that the more pro-
nounced Spanish element would fall into
line, the same as in California, New
Mexico, Arizona and Texas, is certain.
One thing at least is sure, that the
dominion of Spain over this Island is
rapidly approaching its end, and for the
same reason that it has ended with its
other American colonies, because of its
incompetency and utter disregard of the
interests of those it assumed to govern.
That McKinley's administration is sus-
ceptible to the feelings of our people as
regards Cuba, is becoming evident. The
REGISTER believes that 1t only awaits a
sufficient expression of opinion to guide
its course accordingly, and this expression
bids fair to soon be unanimous or sub
stantially so. Ex-president Cleveland,
Mr.. Bynum of national democracy fame,
and few other of the gold standard, or
English system of currency supporters,
being the only exceptions.
In the present emergency the New
York Tribune, probably still the most
influential Republican newspaper of the
east, comes to the front for energetic
action. The Chicago Tribune, with its
immense circulation and wealth easily
among the first of the Republican news
papers of the west, has for weeks been
advocating active interference in Cuba,
with almost every issue. And now the
Chicago Times-Herald, another paper of

his would be impossible. Both the

10 so, and the result, no matter what
happens, will be of benefit to the coun-
ry, for it will open the eyes of Con-
Tess to the fact that we have hitherto

Washington-There is no relaxation

The only change in the situation since
the morning after the disaster to the
Maine is that the probable, if not the
inevitable, is being viewed with great
er calmness. Back of the placid coun-
tenance is fixed jaw. The serenity
Of the administration is largely respon-
sible for this, and, despite the fact
that sensational reports of all kinds
have been sent out all over the coun-

OFFICER POPULAR.
The Commendable Work Done by the
Experienced Policeman Apparent
70 Travelling Public.

'One If the most commendable acts
which the Police Commissioners have
done lately" said a resident of lower
French street, "was in placing an officer
at the French street p, W. & B. railroad
station at night"
This is something which has been
much needed and the good work done
by Officer Mari is already apparent. ANY
hour in the night, under Mr.. NIarr's
management. you can go into the station
without fear Of moles,atiun from drunk
en- men or "bums," while before the
officer was placed at this point loafers of
all colors and characters were ever pres
ent IN the waiting room, making it not
only unpleasant but dangerous, more es-
peclally for women.
The railroad company furnishes an
officer every day between the hours of
seven and six O'Clock and has repeatedly
requested the city to furnish an officer
for the night turn, stating that they
thought they had right to claim some
protection from the city.
officer Lemuel Marr is one of the
oldest and most trustworthy officers on
the force and his many years service on
the ''coast' has familiarized him with
all Of the tough customers of that portion
of the city, both male and female.
1t is said that Mr.. Mari is only
stationed at the depot for the holiday
season on account of the heavy travel
during that time and the prevalence of
"the light fingured gentry" who make it
a business to prey upon the visitors
whose business in the city is to pur.
chase.
To this special grade of animals Mr..
Narr inspires terror for he seldom fails tc
locate and land his man.
The officer does not confne himself
exclusively to the French street station
but takes in the W. & n. passenger de.
partment also of the B. q o. depot.
Mr.. Mari is well liked by the travel.
ing public, who know him, and is al.
ways pleasant in speech and manner
He should be kept at the depots, for he
suits the place and it is to be hoped that
the place suits him, for we who have
wives and daughters travelling at night
feel perfectly secure in the knowledge
that they will be protected from insul,
or robbery by the ever alert officer.
