estly administered. Not all of SPANS fine
work will avail her now that the crises is
at hand 1t may even cause her to pay a
heavier penalty. Trickery and trifling are
expensive In the presence Of an aroused
sense of justice.
The United States has lost no points In
this Cuban business. 1t demanded the re-
lease of it's citizens who were in Cuban
jails and the doors were opened. 1t sue-
gested the recall of General Weyler and
that was complied with. 1t made the case
of the receacentrados its own and proceed
ed to feed them. Autonomy it did not ask.
That was a trick of Senior de LONE, and
was exposed by him. This so-called armis-
tice Is a trick to deceive the European pow
ers and the pope. and that, too, stands ex-
posed. 1t has not received days serious
consideration in this country.
At what disadvantage. therefore, does the
United States stand? Our proposition at
the outset was that II Spain demonstrated
inability to restore peace to Cuba we would
take the matter in hand ourselves. Our
proposition now is that the task. by Spain
failure devolves upon US, and that we must
execute it. Spain has shufi1led and sQuirm-
ed a good deal, but whom has she "outwit-
ted?''

speedy success hoped for by the great body
o. citizens. This country has learned some
lessons in its century and a quarter of ex-
istenee. 1t has learned, among other
things. that divided responsibility leads
learned that concentration of responsibility
provides guarantee of harmonious action.
In the coming campaign against Spain
there cannot safely be any disagreement
between the accountable heads of those or
ganizations subject to the supreme COM
mand of the President All questions of
rank and prestige are to be dropped for
the time, forgotten in the rush of action
toward well defined result, the liberation
OF Cuba and the expulsion of Spain from
that island. Hence the wisdom of the de-
cfsion to proceed in an orderly manner to
organize the troops upon the most effective
basis without regard for the personal de-
sires OF commander here and there who
may wish for prominence at the expense
OF the general effectiveness of the forces.

Large Vote. ON the Cuban Que.tio.

Large Votes ON the Cuban Question.
The votes cast in the Senate Saturday
evening on the Cuban resolutions were re-
markable for their size. Seldom in the his
tory of the nation has the upper house of
the Congress voted on any question with
practically perfect attendance. OF late
years the election to legislative office of
men of affairs. whose large business inter-
ests have demanded their attention even
during times of public excitement, has
tended to detract somewhat from the
strictness with which members of the
houses have attended the sessions. The
improvement of travel facilities, too, has
aided in this process. until latterly 1t has
commonly been found that the Senate and
often the House have voted upon the grav-
Last Wednesday when the House of Repre-
sentatives adopted the resolutions there
were only thirteen silent members out of
the 1856 Saturday in the Senate there was
but one absentee out of 81. Senator Wal
thall who is lying Ill, was unable to attend
the session but courteously released his
pair, Senator Spooner, in order that the
latter might record his sentiments upon
this grave matter. The fulness of the vote
denotes the intense interest each member
of the governments legislative body takes
in this affair, affecting as 1t does a multi
tude of interests and appealing directly to
the strongest sentiments.

striking the First Blow.

When the time comes IL Spain Is still
uuyielding and defiant, there will be no
hesitation on the part Of this government
about striking the first blow. why shouio
there be? The blow will be due, and SPAN
will have had full notice. The case OF as
sault and battery which she Will bring IN
j, foreign courts against us will insure her
no countenance or support. she VIII sih-
ply add to her own humiliation and abase-
ment. The verdict will be that, having
given provocation and having received SUI
ficient warning. she deserved punishment.
A notorious brawler and bruiser points In
vain for sympathy to a black eye.
The whole case centers in Cuba, and 1t
will be there that the United States will
make it's demonstration. Conditions In
Spain are Of no concern over here. Run
ming amuck on the high seas is no feature
of the American calculation. Our concern
is about Cuba, where Spanish rule has long
been a curse both to the island and to
American interests there. When the Span
ish flag Is lowered In Cuba and good gov
eminent succeeds, the object of the United
States in the premises will have been ac-
complished.
But while the United States has no fur
Their object in view at this time its further
course after Cuba Is free will necessarily
depend upon the developments of that day.
If Spain after being driven out of Cuba
continues to make a nuisance of herself
toward this country her case will be further
attended to. 1t will be within the power
and the inclination Of this government to
watch and protect American interests
everywhere; and that policy will be pur-
sued at all hazards and against all pro-
tests. The United States Is not seeking
var, but If war comes it will enter the
field prepared and resolved to carry things
through to their legitimate conclusion.
1t will be useless therefore for Spain to
cry out that she has been attacked by the
United States. The blow If 1t falls will
simply be of her inviting. and a punishment
of which she will have had ample notice.
The United States has waited and waited
until patience has ceased to be a virtue.
If it strikes 1t will be well justified, and the
blow ought to be delivered with all the
power at command.

The cause Of decent base ball playing
should not be seriously injured by the dis
graceful outbreak Of temper at the game
in New York Saturday. There Is surely
no call for an abandonment Of the new
rules OF for any disbelief in their efficacy
merely because one of the twelve clubs
composing the major league has opened
the season with violent outbreak of ex-
actly the character that these rules seek
to suppress. The whole trouble arose over
a disputed decision. The umpire was the
sole judge of the play. The new rules
make him master OF the grounds, and his
commands are law. He was assailed by
both the players and the spectators. The
former abused him, the latter pelted him.
The officials of the club. pledged to sup
port the umpire in his work. failed utterly
to provide the proper means of restoring
order, and so indirectly contributed to the
confusion and the disturbance. The spec
tators. of course. were. in this case as In
many others In the past, largely to blame,
but there Is way to teach the patrons
good n anners and that method should be
invoked at the very beginning Of the sea-
son If the league is to live up to the spirit
of its prOtestations in favor of clean sport.
A few arrests among the spectators, as
we'll as a few explosions from the game.
will have wonderfully moralizing effect
upo n the two sides to the base ball contro-
versy.

American Diplomacy,

They are still very well satisfied with
themselves in Havana, as the cable shows
The Diario de la Marina, commenting
upon the prospect of war, says that
the superiority of the Spaniards over the
Americans Is beyond dispute. Foreign ma
tons. says the Diario, respect SPAIN while
the United States is despised. Spain has,
granted an armistice and autonomy. The
United States now has no ground upon
which TO interfere, because Sagasta out
witted Mckinley"
This is distinctly the Spanish view and
frankly stated. A diplomatic duel has been
IN progress and Spain has scored all the
points. The world has been looking on

ants. Believing that she has been the more
agile and elusive, the smoother" and has
"outwitted' the United States, Spain turns
to the world and fancies that she is ac-
claimed as the champion.
In this. as In other matters. Spain puts a
low appraisement on the intelligence and
character Of the world. She forgets, OF
does not know. that trickery scores no
points permanently In great affairs of state.
In the high court Of civilization no case l.

Balance and Pattence.

From the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
We have been told by political philoso-
piers that democracies are apt to be stan,-
peded in crisis and to rush into war or
ether sort OF excuses on small provoca-
ton. The course of the United States IL,
the Cuban affair, however, shows that Thu;
judgment will have to be qualified. The
philosophers have had France and some of
the Central and South American republics
in mind, but the conduct of those nations
Is not a fair index Of the workings of
democratic government. In the Cuban
question this country has had provocat ton
which would have melted even England,
the most conservative and stable Of the
European nations, to declare war on Spain
by this time. In this whole affair the United
States has displayed a balance and a pa
thence which have belied the teachings of
the Old World publicists.

From the New York Mall and Express.
Senator Gray OF Delaware calls for "a
truce between the political parties of this
country until we can settle our account
with Spain," and that sentiment should
receive an approving response from every
pstriotic citizen. This Is no time for par
tisan contention. Other and weightier mat
tiers are before the nation. The honor of
the flag. the welfare Of humanity and the
integrity of American institutions are AT
stake, and the man who delays their vim
dication by forcing the discussion of selfish
party issues Is a public enemy. Give us a
truce between parties and an aggressive
