One very notable exception was that OK
the transatlantic liner Boston. About
twenty years ago she left the English
coast with 100 or 500 passengers. and has
never been heard Of since. Not spar or
splinter has ever been found to bring a
message from the dead. There Is little
doubt that in fog she crashed into an ice
berg and went TO the bottom.

OF the American people. Two things
have been demonstrated by recent
events which have very important
bearing upon the attitude this coun-
try is to assume toward the island.
The Cubans are evidently not fitted for
seif-goyernment, and large portion
Of them are Of such character that
1t would be absolutely unsafe to trust
them with p disposition of the persons
and property OF others. These con-
illusions force upon the country q re-
sponsibiliiy from which 1t would very
willingly be free. They force upon Us
the unpleasant prospect Of having to
depart from the policy contemplated
at the outbreak OF the war: but IL it
becomes necessary We shall grapple
with the subject with as much firm
ness and determination as that with
which We entered upon the war. We
did not enter upon 1t with the purpose
OF acquiring territory. but we will not
hesitate to take 1t IL the interests OF
this country demand H.
That is always recognized as a para
mount consideration to the victor after
war is entered upon. International
law does not prohibit change of base
and purpose when once war has broken
out; and this Is because no government
can foresee the outcome OF an armed
conflict or determine within what limits
II shall be confined. Victory carries
with 1t certain new rights. The ex-
penses Of carrying on a war are ex-
tremely large and sacrifices have to be
made. The war itself gives rise 10
changed conditions, so that to limit the
victorious state to the omplishment
mencement OF hostilities may not give
"A sufficient guaranty that peace can
be maintained in the future.
Our own history furnishes a very re-
markablc precedent for departing from

snrance to the people that he would

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.

The reform forces are tremendous
reformers before election. They were
lavish Ia promises two years ago. and
she large majority by which they were
successful shows that expectation OF
relief from taxation and other severe
burdens by drastic legislation had been
skillfully worked up TO a high pitch.
But what was done? How does the
taxpayer fare? Ara his taxes any the
less? Is public administration any mere
economical or efficient? Did the late
legislature carry out its promises. OF
Il even make a genuine attempt III
direction? How about railroad leg.S!a-
manded and so generally desired? Were
passenger IA 'es reduced? How much
were grain rates brought down?
OF course everybody knows that the
Populist Legislature made only a sham
and pretentieus effort TO perform its
pledges al to the railroads No rail-
road commission bill was passed The
passenger fare bill was buried. 4 small
cut was made In grain rates The truth
Is that the susceptible populist legisla-
ture signaily broke faith with the people
and deliberately refused TO do its duty.
II Is, therefore. refreshing TO find that
Spokane reforTners come reassuringly

ments against the railroads One plat
