cess along that line, except in the one
contingency-the adoption by congress
of the presidents plan of intervention
without independence.
After being advised that the presi-
dents message was to be Of such war
like character as to imperil the lives OF
all Americans living under the Spanish
| flag, should it be sent to congress In ad-
vance of a warning to flee from the
wrath to come, the surprise and disap-
pointment of the insurgents may be i'm
agined but not described. The denial OF
independence, and the placing Of the
United States in the attitude of hostility
to their contention, was well calculated
to disgust every patriot on the island
with American pretensions of friendli-
ness, and to dissipate every hope of sub
stantial help from this country.
The autonomist leaders were quick to
take advantage of the CONSERVATION
which the publication of the message
was reasonably expected to produce in
the ranks of the patriot insurgents, and
upon its heels they started out ennis
saries to treat with the chiefs. reason
ably assuming that they would prefer
a peaceful solution, through the medium
of more liberal concessions, to the
chances of American Intervention and
possible schemes of annexation.

their rallying cry, but resistance to the
United States would be madness. They
will not resist. But they may accept
the other alternative.
Spain is a unit in defense of the ma
tional honor and the maintenance of
sovereignty over Cuba, but she yet may
yield to the appeals of the pope and the
powers to grant something which the
insurgents will accept, only because it
is preferable to the uncertainties of the
issue with American intervention and
American political and financial in
triguing. Confronted with the alterna-
tive of accepting something less than

WHERE WE ARE AT

The San Francisco Examiner, with
commendable forethought and total
disregard Of expense, has had Uncle
Sans horoscope cast. 1t is explained by
the astrologer that this nation was born
at noon, July 4, 1776, and that the rest
less, versatile. ingenius sign of the planet
Mercury -Gemini'' rules the people of the
United States. People who have labored
under the impression that it was the
sign of the Goddess of Liberty will have
to revise their opinions.
To show how utterly constituencies the
hyphenated sign is when it gets down tt
business, the astrologer relates how. on
the day President Mckinley transmitted
his message to congress and war OF
words ensued, "the sign Gemini was
greatly excited by Mars in square aspect
to Neptune" 1t may we'll be questioned,
however, if the effect of the message on
Gemini was not the real combination
rather than any occult influence of the
stars in their courses upon the presi-
dent and congress.
We CLEAN further that the destruction
of the battleship Maine took place on
the night that Mars was in conjunction
with our planet Mercury on the plane of
the radical moon. Then what is the use
of blaming it on Spain? Why not hold
Mars and Mercury responsible with the
moon as an accessory before and after
the fact?
1t is some consolationto know that the
conservatives, the party of the money
power are coming to grief. You see,
Jupiter has been holding the balance of
power all through the prevailing un-
pleasantness, but as this month draws
to a close it's power weakens. Mars
passes into it's own house Aries, in direct
opposition to old Jupiter, which is in its
twelfth house, the house of its undoing.
Thus the conservatives will be obliged
to act as their own worst enemies and
compass their own ruin. 1t is as
plain as the place where the presidential
backbone ought to be but isn't.
The Examiner should have the thanks
of a grateful public. 1t is well to know
not only where we are at, but also where
we are going to be at.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN

The meeting of the Democratic state
central committee at San Francisco last
Saturday was another step in the way
Of preparation for the coming campaign
in California The most important and
most significant action taken by the COM
mittee was the appointment of sub
committee of five to confer with the rep
resentatives Of the Silver Republican
and Populist parties with view to con-
certed opposition to the Republicans.
If this committee does its work prop
erly there ought to be a well-defined
course ready to submit for approval to
the three parties at their several state
conventions. The appointment of the
Democratic sub committee does not OF
course bind the party to fusion, but
simply opens a way for concerted action
in case the conventions in their wisdom
should consider such a policy advisable
Here in Southern California the senti-
ment is practically unanimous in favor
of a combination of the free silver forces
against the Republicans the party of the
single gold standard. The leading can
didates for office, so far as they have
been heard from, have declared them
selves subject to the fusion idea, an
unselfish stand that should be gen.
orally followed by the silver candidates
this year.
The greatest confidence is expressed
that with fusion and good state ticket
silver will sweep California this year by

DESPERATE ALTERN ATIVES

The unexpected may at any time hap
pen. Delay in harmonizing conflicting
congressional opinion encourages all who
seek to avert war, from whatever
motive, to renewed efforts to place the
two nations in such position that they
may not with honor draw the sword.
These efforts, since the adoption by the
senate of resolutions tantamount to a
declaration of war, have taken the form
Of appeals to Spain to speedily declare
the independence of the Cubans; of re-
newed hopes of the autonomist govern
ment, under Madrid impulse, to induce
the insurgents to accept a more liberal
scheme Of home rule, and a renewal of
desperate appeals to the powers of
Europe to at least make a naval demon
stration in western waters, with the ex-
pectation that it will serve to calm the
warlike spirit of the United States.
The action of Germany and England
in turning a deaf ear to the appeals from
Spain, and in deciding to maintain an
attitude Of the strictest neutrality, re-
moves the factor of European inter-
vention in any form from considera
tion.
The contempt of insurgent leaders fol
autonomist proposals Of limited home
rule, and their disposition to shoot any
