CURRENT COMMENT.
SPEAKER REEDS POWER.
(Boston Herald.

The elimination of Mr.. Reeds power
came on Monday. He not, only ruled the
House then. but through the House he
controlled the Senate, and rendered SER
vice to the government of the highest
value We are not disposed to attribute
all the responsibility for this action to
Mr.. Reed, but we have serious doubts il
it could have been achieved without him,
and are very sure that it could not have
been attained with the facility that char
acteriZed it. Circumstances were in his
favor, and it would be wrong not to
credit the conservative portion of Con-
gress and the executive department. of the
government with an agency in overcom-
ing the Senate. But here was delicate
attitude of affairs. The Senate is always,
rs body, jealous of yielding any of it's
influence to the Fl ouse. Many Of it's mem
bers have been in the habit of looking
with something like contemptuous pity
on the manner in which the House WAS
controlled by its speaker. 1t was bitter
pill to them to take their cue of action
from the speaker also, but they were put
in position where they had to do it, or
to be, In tho case Of the Republicans,
false to their party and their President,
and in that of the advocateas of war to
take the responsibility Of delaying the
war that they were eager to bring about.
Mr.. Reed thus had the Senate at an adj
vantage such as is his normal condition
toward the House. The Senate was
brought to submit. and to be the instru-
ment in furnishing the Speaker with new
fame as the controller of legislation.
Mr.. Reed must have the reputation be-
fore the nation of being the master spirit
OF the gain for sound legislation and for
good government achieved in both houses
Of Congress on Monday AS matter of
course, he always carries the House over
which he presides, but in this instance
his power extended into the Senate as
well. That body was compelled to &C.
quiescs in the House action through his
indomitable and irresistible cotrol. AS
we have said, his was not the only
operating agency, but he has the ,hief
credit in it in the eyes Of the nation.
Whatever may bs thought of the system
of rule MIR. Reed is pursuing in the
House in it's general relation to legisla-
ton, he has done genuine service to the
country this time.

Al Spain is determined to defend the in
tegrity of her empire to the last dollar
and the last drop of blood, as her states
men say, she is taking very strange
way to do it. Our fleet is but hundred
miles from Cuba and Spain has known
for long time that we were liable
almost any day to move 1T to Havana for
an attack upon the defences OF that city
or to blockade that port. Yet the
Spanish fleet is 5000 miles away, and there
are no signs that it intends to moye'n nearer
to its menaced territory. Apparently when
we move our ships into Cuban waters we
shall find no Spanish ship to resist our
advance. There are Spanish soldiers on
the island, but their only salvation lies in
keeping Cuban ports open so that pro-
visions can be sent them. With q
blockade established around the island
unless they could break it they
would be compelled to surrender
from sheer starvation in a few weeks.
Probably Spain has some design in mas
sing her ships in at Cape Verde, but the
direct defence of Cuba can hardly enter
into it. Possibly her plan is to attack
our commerce and thus lure out ships on
to the other side, where she will have the
advantage of position. But whatever her
plan it is hard to reconcile her opera
tions up to the present time with an in
tention to make a vigorous defence of her
West Indian possessions.

surely suffer and the effectiveness of our

should not have accomplished anything
worth the cost. A blockade of the princi-

If there were any lingering hope that

The Portland daily press., 1898-04-21

One of the mistakes the government
made at the beginning of the civil war
was the undertaking of the strength of
the resistance it would have to meet, and
our early preparations were on a scale
ar.inade1uate to the task we had before
us. 1t is to be hoped that we shall not
make similar mistake in the coming
conflict with Spain. Spain is a third
class power, poor in purse, and her re-
sources both of men and money have been
greatly reduced by her two years effort to
subdue the rebellion in Cuba. Bankrupt
nations. however, may fight hard, es-
pec1ally, as in this case. where they think
they are fighting in just cause for the
integrity Of their own country. There
are many conditions favorable to
Che Spaniards in Cuba. Their army there
is fairly we'll acclin,ated, and hence far
better able to Withstand tine epidemics
! which rage there in the hot season than
our soldiers will be. Furthermore they
| are better acquainted with the nature Of
| the country. They will be on the defen.
siye, which is of itself great ad.
vantage. Our true course would seem
to be to throw into Cuba in the quickest
possible time an overwhelming force, one
that will be large enough to defeat 1.-THE
Spaniards and compel their surrende.
tquickly. OF course the insurgents will
be of great assistance to u.s. but they
must be guided by US, and above ali
things we must be able to prevent any
sxcesses such as they will surely be
tempted to when the Spaniards are de-
feated. A short, sharp war is what the
American people want, and it is better t,
err ON the side of too extensive prepare
lions than too little. Strong blow
struck early viii be really in the interes
of humanity. A war permitted to dras
along because of lack Of vigor in its
prosecution is sure to be the mos
destructive war both to life and property.
