ried out In 1858 which provided for rsliov
Ing Spain of the government OF Cuba. o
great deal OF anxiety would have
been avoided at the present time Several
Senators and Representatives, as woll as
various other parties who invariably object
10 everything they do not originate, OBJ
jected so strongly that the scheme wa
abandoned, and the country Is now suffer
ing from their want Of foresight 1t is
useless now to lament the mistake, as los
opportunities canuot be recalled, but It is
very unfortunate that the people cannot
see farther into the future and leglslate
to avoid blOUdshed. General Grant was
wiser than tho majority OF the men Of his
general ion and although his adherents
were numerous, he and thoy were In the
minority. We hope that the dispute with
Spain will be settled this time on such
basis rs to give no further trouble in all

The speeches and the actions OF some
Of the members Of congress can only
be regarded with uncomprehending
amazement. Many OF them who have
been opposed to the presidents course
were SO because of weii-known and
long standing difference of opinion upon
general policy: others made speeches
having In mind nothing but the effect
they would have upon their home con-
stitaency; some became intoxicated by
the applause of the gallery, and were
looked highly absurd In cold type.
Some were sensational. because in no
other way could they attract atten-
ton. But 1t passes all understanding
why a man like Senator Allen. Of Ne
braska. after the close of thorough
IN son,eyha; excited debate and the dec
iarasion by decisive vote of the pur-
pose of congress, should propose such
an utterly absurd resolution as that
declaring for the political independence

lighting ghosts. solemuly warned the
senator's that the island OF Cuba would
pass into the hands OF financial cor

tho United States should at once take
measures TO protect she island and It's
people.
What a pity II is that nothing was
said about this by Senator Allen or
into trouble with Spain. Then, instead
uf lighting the Spanlards. we might
have sent an uitiu1atum 81 the German
investors in Spanish bonds that unless
they surrendered them within twenty
four hours the American eagle would
