Spanish rule in Cuba is absolutely doomed:
and when that rule has been brought to q
close the United States will have done all
that 1t set cut to do.
But then it Is according to these proph-
cts, that Spain will develop her ugliest
mood, and begin to make the United States
regret that it ever was born. BY what
means? What can she do? Without q
base Of operations on this side of the
water. she will be powerless over here.
She will not have grown in power on the
other side. So in what way is she to re-
venge the loss Of her West Indian possess
icrs?
There is que hint that she will turn
pirate and make the seas uninhabitable for
American ships. If she enters upon that
policy she will pay more dearly for it than
she has paid for her crimes in Cuba. The
United States is rapidly growing as a naval
power. 1t too has pride, and that pride is
up. In the very near future largely as the
result of this embodiment, it will be able
to hold the against power three
times greater than Spain.
Spain cannot possibly make war pay by
drawing it out in the way suggested, or in
any way. But she can be mace to pay for
such a war, and will be if she enters upon

Mr.. Dingley's Speech.

The speech with which Chairman DingIey
yesterday presented the war revenue meas
ure to the House one of those clear
and convincing statements for which he is
rcied- Ii vas not an oratorical effort. The
time for cratory had passed.. 1t was not a
defamation. sounding generalities and
dwelling upon rhetorical themes 1t was a
plain. business-iike. yet patriotic statement
of the needs of the country and OF the
ways and means proposed to meet those
needs. Mr.. DinSiey never showed to better
advantage than as he laid down. one by
one. the fundamental principles upon which
this measure Is based. He showed first
tfat the country was just emerging from
an unfortunate financial condition when
war was declared. The revenues had be-
gun TO equal the expenditures, under the
operations of the new tariff The treasury
was beginning to see light ahead. War
has now changed this prospect. A new
necessity arises The country needs more
money. How much money 1t will even
tUaly need for the transaction of this ter
rible but necessary business no man can
tell The course Of wisdom is to provide
plenty, and under such circumstances that
Spain and the rest of the world will be
given clearly to understand that this is
vast resources will be utilized to conduct
this campaign to successful end.
Next. 10 the measures for meeting
this condition. First taxation: then Dor
rowing Those are two plain propositions
simple in tteir terms and easily under
stood. and Mr. Dingiey's explanation left
10 doubt whatever as to the exact purpose
or the bill proposing them. Taxation he
showed. would produce an additional reve-
nue. of about SD.0DO,00o a year. according

c-es and enterprises 50 chosen that the bur-
den or the increased contribution will fall
upon those best able to bear it. But an in

Tor the purposes of war that may last
many months. under modern conditions
that call for tremendous expenditures and
sacrifices The most logical step next to
follow. indeed. the only step that can be
taken. is the borrowing of money The
government will borrow as much as $500
Us.r0 at 3 Der cent, for from ten TO
twenty years. II was thought best to limit
the loan TO ten years as minimum, for the
reason that in the next ten years two
heavy loans fall due and must be met. The
money Will be borrowed, as far as posi-

OF the government 10 give its humbIest citi-

But the government must have ready

While Washington is decorating with the
national colors to indicate it's patriotic SEN
timent and its hearty sympathy with the
present purposes of the government, a sug-

men have been busiIy engaged in various
parts of the city adding to the stock. Of
poles destined to carry wires for the con-
duction of electricity for different purposes.
Washington has more than enough of such
questionable adornments. 1t has sought to
rid itself Of them by such means as are at
its disposal. But the poles are still in evil
dence, steadily growing higher as the cor
porations owning them seek to tighten their
grip on the kindly sympathy of the legisla-
tors. The new poles appear to be renew
ais. replacing old ana inadequate items of
this antiquated equipment. Whether or
not the poles increase in number in the
process of renewal, as they undoubtedly do
in size, is to be left to surmise and the de-
the regard of the corporation for the laws
and the regulations. But certain it is that
the poles do not decrease save in reluc-
tant obedience to some stray item of 1egis-
lation conduit is substituted and-occa-
sionally-the offending wooden nuisances
afe feiled or uprooted. Even with this slow
assault upon them the poles show no de-
crease in their burdens. On the contrary,
the number of wires actually in the air
seems to grow rather than to dwindle
Hence, indeed, the new poles invariably
carry more wires than those they replace
The objection of citizens to the pole system
is based not solely upon the mere presence
and appearance Of the poles themselves,
but is inspired chiefly by the knowledge
that the wires they carry are ever present
agencies of possible peril, menacing life and
property. Thus the spectacle of activity
among the pole-raAsers Is by no means
agreeable to those who have hoped to wit
