PEACE. NOT VENDETTA.

People who arc urging that the United States
should couple recognition OF the so-caled Cuban
Republic as a sovereign Power with inter
vcntion TO give peace and freedom to the Cuban
people should bear IN mind the objects which
we ms a civilized Nation are to accomplish in
Cuba. Then they should give serious thought
to the statements OF Consul General Lee as 10
the necessity for humalitys sake OF having
free hand in Cuba not only 10 drive out tho
Spanish Opprcssor, but to calm the savage pas
sons awakcd in others by his oppression.
The most ardent sympathizcr with Cuba can
not question the fairness and fricndliness OF
General Leo. His conduct IN Havana and his
testimony before the Senate Committee since
his return show that he desires intervention be-
lieves In the Cubans and longs to see them
free and Independent Some even among those
who are quite prepared for war as the only way
to end the suffering in the island are inclined
TO think General Lee rather too much OF
Cuban partisan I'm his utterances for Il semi
diplomatic officer OF tho United States. Ger
tainly he Is inclined 10 view the Cuban Gov.
eminent with all possible favor. Yesterday to
the Senate Committee he spoke well of 1t, ex-
planned Its lack of settled habitaton as in no
way detracting from Its responsibility, and yet
he is strenuously opposed TO tho recognition OF
the republic. much as he hopes for its final es-
tablishment And his reasons must appeal TO
us with peculiar force, since IL we enter Cuba
It will be for the avowcd purpose Of stopping
barbartles and bringing peace and prosperity
TO a distracted people.
General Lee thinks that there is great danger
that II the insurgents were to have free hand
in Cuba through our expelllng the Spanish Army
they. would carry on a campaign OF vengeance
against the families Of persons identified with
the Spanish cause. This fear Is not unnatural.
The insurgents have suffered cruelty, their non
combatant relatives have been prosecuted, and
1t Is not In human nature-Latin human nature
at any rate-not to be moved to vengeance for
such outrages. And yet such feuds are exactly
what the United States must prevent We are
not going to Cuba to put down an inhuman war,
to make way for retaliatory bloodshed. Our
business Is to bring peace not to make way for
vendetta II we recognize the republic we
shall have no power to prevent wholesale exc
cution Of all the private enemies Of the Cuban
patriots. While II we refrain from comforting
on them ut once the attributes of sovereignty
we can restore order and secure n stable gov
ernment, which will guarantee safety as well
as liberty to all Cuban residents. Cuba has no
stronger friend than General Lee, and the Sena-

IS no higher duty devolved upon the citi-
zen Of republic than to perform his
functions as an elector and see that the

first step in the performance OF civic duty is en-
rolment, by which alone under our party sys-

Republican voters should take pains to enter
their names on the official rolls. Do not send the
statements to the Organization Committee. That

its control over enrolment II is surely not fitting

THE SENATE WAITS.

Tho present attitude Of Congress, or OF the
Senate In particular, may seem a bit surprising
TO those who look merely upon the surface or
things and take all things at their face values. A
week ago we were given TO understand as we
had been FOR many weeks, that Congress was
anxious and ready to act upon the Cuban Ques-
ton without an hours delay. All that was
wanted was for the President to get out OF the
way Let him cease his futile diplomacy men
aaid and turn the case over to Congress, and
within twenty four hours decisive action would
be taken. The President did so on Monday last
At least he RENTED the whole case to Congress
for its action. with his own definite recommends
tons which Congress could accept or not, as It
pleased According to the talk Of the more ag-
rressye element in Congress and the press
both houses should on Monday afternoon have
adopted declaration Of war
The actual result has been far different from
that The House Of Representatives deliberated
for day, and then adopted resolution exactly
agreeing with the Presidents suggestions The
Senate is still more deliberate although hitherto
II has been deemed the more aggressive and
hasty body on this topic. While the House was
adopting its resolution with only the briefest Of
debates and with substantial unanlmity, the
Senate found itself divided in sentiment over
two major resolutions, with small but nfluen-
tial party In favor Of a third. No action was
taken that day, nor the next Some may be
taken to-day, but that Is by no means certain.
The promise of instant action Is not fulfilled
no; to be fulfilled. To say that Is not to re-
proach the Senate, but rather to commend 1t.
When some one else is carrying the burden 1t
h easy to cry out for haste But when the bur-
den is laid upon ones own back he walks DELHI
erately and crcumspectly. That IS the part Of
common-sense. In the present case 1t is the
part Of patriotism. There Is no such thing as
doubling the zeal of the Senate That has been
proved many a time. II has again been shown
In the brilliant, aggressive report made by Sem
tor Davis chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee. Having made and heard that lit
eral bugle-blast, the Senate can well AFFORD to
proceed with the utmost crcumspection. II 1t
is waiting. it is doing so in the interest OF Jus
tice and honor.
Nor is such waiting waste Of time from the
most militant point of view. Mr. Frederick W.
Seward well reminds MS In the letter printed in
another column Of this paper that the Govern
ment and the Nation have not been procrasti-
mating In oil these weeks which some have en-
dured with 30 little patience. We have not
been at war, but we have been diligently
practising the art Of war and putting ourselves
into condition to wage war, II necessary in the
most effective fashion Spain sees 1t. Every

Resolutions of Coincidence.

Resolutions expressive of regret and
sympathy felt by members of Div. No.
4, A. o. H., Of Hennepin county on the
death of Bro. Patrick Flaherty:
Whereas, Almighty God has seen fit
to remove from our midst by death, Bro.
Flaherty. who departed this life Janu-
airy 30th, 1898, and
Whereas, While we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who doth
all things well, we cannc. but deeply
regret the loss Of Bro. Flaherty, whose
life out of the division, and whose ac-
tfons as one of us were always in touch
with the grand mcttoes Of our order,
namely, Friendship. Unity and True
Christian Charity: In the death of Bro.
Flaherty our society does feel and ac-
knowledge as gone, a model citizen who
loved this, the land of his adoption, as
he did that of his birth; the Catholic
church member whose life was ex-
emplary of his teachings and his fam
lily model, loved and honored father.
Resolved, That to the sorrowing wife
and family Of Bro. Flahcrty we extend
our heartfelt sympathy, that God my
console them in their sad affliction, and
that the memory of this father may be
an incentive to his children to follow
in his footsteps, is the wish and prayer
OF the members Of Division No. 4, in
whose hearts his memory will be cher
ished.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
srieed On the minutes of the division,
published in The Irish Standard, and
a copy framed and presented to the
family of Brother Tlaherty.
