Always WITH Us.


For more than fifty years this country
has had the Cuban question to deal With'
and II has given us no end Of trouble
finally resulting in a war with SPAIN
There are those who hatter themselves
that with the war will come the end OF
tho Cuban question. but we are not so
sanguine. We arc very much afraid
that this Cuban question. even with the
snanlsh flag driven from the Island Is to
abide VET for years and 70 continue TO
annoy and pcrplex the people OF the
United States.
There are three distinct classes In
cuba: The Spanish residents. estimated
NJ about 100000: the native Cubans, who
have taken no part in the rebellion ana
numbering, # IS said, about 100000; the
insurgents, who constitute only about
one-eighth Of the entire population OF the
island. The so-callcd Cuban Republic
is distinctly an institution Of the insur-
gents. and IL the United States shall re-
cocnize that government and turn the
island OF cuba over to the insurgents 1t
takes no prophet TO foretell that they
will ride rough-shod over the Cuban re-
sidents and the non-combatant natives
and I'm such an event there will in all
probability be another instruction with
in n few months.
Yet if the insurgents arc not recognized
as the controlling force, We fear that
they will give tho United States much
the same trouble that they have given
the Spanish government
The United states in its declaration Of
war set out with the determination 10
establish in Cuba "a sound, stable and
enlightened government"
1t is a big undertaking, and is to be &C.
complished, we fear, not without the ex-
penditure Of much time and money If
indeed without the shedding Of blood.
Spain may yet have the grim satisfac-
ton Of saddling its troubles in Cuba
upon the shoulders of the United States.

MORE GOyERNMENr BY INJUNC


The struggle between the city of Mil
waukcc and the street Car Company,
which has been going on for the past two.
years has reached a climax.
An ordinance was passed compelling the
street car company to charge only four
cents for car fare and pending a decis-
Ton The company got an injunction from
the federal court restraining the Council
from enforcing the order.
judge Seaman. OF the United States
Court has recently handed down a decis-
ion IN which he holds that while a mu-
nlcipalty has a right TO regulate such
charges, iE the present instance the en-
forcement OF a four-cent fare would cause
the street car company to lose from $780,
900 to $4,000 year. instead Of making
fair profit on its investment. lie de-
cides. therefore. that the ordinance is
unconstitutional as being in its effect the
same thing as confscation Of property.
The case will go to the Supreme Court
OF the United States. but the decision Of
that court can be anticipated as It laid
down tie doctrine in its recent decision
in the Nebraska case.
OF course there will be an outcry from
certain quarters against government by
Injunction" but what other protection
had the street car company Of Milwaukee
against this seemingly harsh ordinance?
We do not know that the representation
OF tho company was true, but the court
was satisfied that 10 enforce the four-cent
fare would have been TO bankrupt the
concern.
But whether true or not, it might have
been true. 1t is easy TO suppose that
members Of a city council, in order to
make themselves popular with the peo-
ple.would undertake 20 fix charges for the
street car company. or other such enter
prise. at rate so low as 10 make the
company lose a great deal OF money
In such a case what other remedy has
a corporation than a restraining order
which may be enforced at once? Through
the ordinary process Of n court trial with
the right Of appeal a final decision might
be delayed for years. and in the mean
time a particularly solvent company
might be forced into bankruptcy. Many
a fortune has been squandered by the
laws delay. and the celebrated case Of
Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce was not an exag-
geraton. The injunction is the only in
Simultaneous remedy at law. and to de-
stroy it would be TO destroy one Of the
greatest institutions Of modern civiliza-
ton.
