A WISE POLICY.

The wisdom of the Presidents policy to-
ward Spain and Cuba is indicated by pass
ing events. We do not desire war with Spain
or with any other government War is no
longer craftsmanship; it is the last resort
of civilized governments. That is one fea-
ture of the Presidents policy. Since Mr..
Mckinley became President American citi-
zens in Cuba are not harassed At the
present time not an American citizen is in
prison, though some of those who mas
querade under the protection such citizen
snip affords may deserve Imprisonment.
This being the case we have no cause for
war with Spain on that score
Undoubtedly large majority of the peo-
pie cs the United States are in favor of
the independence of Cuba, yet it must be
confessed that the more intelligent people
learn of the inhabitants of Cuba and par
ticularly of the Cuban Junto in this coun-
try the less faith they have in the ultimate
good which may result from such indie
pendence. STILL whatever may be our
wishes, as a government, recognizing the
rights of governments. the United States
cannot interfere at once in behalf of Cuba.
If it shall appear after the present admin
istration in Spain has had opportunity to
try its policy, that Spain cannot enforce
tranquility in Cuba, then the President win
take steps to bring the war to close in
the interest of the United States.
The administration has been opposed to
recognition of the belligerency Of Cuba be-
cause such recognition can do the Cubans
no good unless it shall involve us in war
with Spain. Recognition would give the
Spanish a. right to search all American YES
sells. and it would make us responsible for
damages to Spain that otherwise would not
be valid.
The trend of events since the President
announced his policy has been such as to
commend it to intelligent and patriotic peo-
pie 1t does not commend itself to men like
Senator Allen because they are against the
administration as a rule of action. 1t does
not commend itself to men like Senator
Mason because they are the unfortunate
victims of impulse. and imagine that the
Cubans leaders are sacrificing themselves
to the cause of freedom, white most of
those in this country are idle adventur-
ers. The Presidents policy does not COM
mend itself to men Of the Cannon type,
who are anxious to plunge the country into
war TO the end that the disturbance may
force the United States to a silver basis;
such men, when a loan is ask,d TO prose-
cute a war, will insist on imposing condi-
tIons which will infiict injury on the credit
of the government. But to thoughtful men
the course which the administration is pur-
suing commends itself. Every passing day
demonstrates the inability of Spain TO bring
peace to Cuba. 1t has been shown that
Spain is distracted by dissensions at home,
and. among other things. the spanish min

WOMEN AT WAR.
Daughters of American Revolution

New York Evening Sun.

New York Evening SUM-
The American Revolution itself promises
to pale beside the conflict to be waged by
the daughters of that same revolution at
their coming convention to be held IN the
city Of Washington at the end OF the pres ares
will have ever been fought either by sedi-
tious subjects or by contentious clubwomen,
and that is saying a great deal. New 1ork
is vitality and personally interested in the
prospective fray from the fact that it sup
plies the chief cause of it all. As one spir-
tied daughter put 1t the other day: We're
going to have high old time but It's all
on account of New York. Without our own
Empire State to inspire us so nobly, things
might be as serene as peace congress-.
Surplus serenity is just what there won
be at the convention, however, although II
is safe to say that there vii be g 12.osl
to keep the old-time revolutionary spirit
alive In this Mrs. Donald Mclean, regent
tiers. is most active. Mrs. Mclean has as
pirations. Excelsior is her motto. and
she proposes to scale the electioneering
heights and become regent of all she sur
veys-in other words. become president gem
eral of the national family of daughters.
Most of the other New York daughters flat
ly and frankly declare that they will not
support Mrs. Mclean, but as by so doing
they are keeping alive the old-time spirit
of belligerency, SO loyal q daughter as Mrs.
Mclean can find no public cause for COM
plant however she may feed personally.
Mrs. Daniel Manning of Albany, is Mrs.
McLean,s rival and aSSeording to the latest
city chapters. with few exceptions are
pledged to her If Mrs. Mclean wins, there
fore, she must pin her faith to those who
know her least Meanwhile either side is
sharpening its weapons and laying i'm much
extra ammunition. Making motions has
given way to the practice of military tac-
tics. Congress has as yet made no an
nouncement as to whether or not 1t will
adjourn during the occupation of the cap
ital city ~ the daughters but the chances
are that il will. The instinct of self-preser-
walton certainly points in that direction.
aside from the self-evident truth that 1t is
well nigh impossible to conduct the affairs
hence it is not unlikely that there may be
another sort of daughters OF the revolu-
tion--women who will boast their descent
not from those meek and mild ancestors
participating In certain namby-pamby
eighteenth century conflict against Great
Britain, but from those doughty DANES

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-02-11

NO doubt the unrevealed secrets of diplo-
macy contain many letters the publication
of which, at critical time might have I'M
made ministers or dynasties, but no more
discriminating one ever came to light in
more dramatic and effective way than the
De LONE letter. 1t is full of dynamite and
an astonishing revelation of Spanish du-
plcity. The insulting expressions regarding
the President are not the only offensive
feature. 1t is said, by the way that the
translation of the letter was fair and that
the English version does not exaggerate its
offensiveness. For instance, the Spanish
word. which is translated "a low politician"
is politicastro," the equivalent of which,
in English. is 'pothouse politician" But the
illusions to the President are not the only
offensive feature. The following will bear
careful reading:
1t would be most important that you
should agitate the question of commercial
relations, even though it would be only for
effect and that you should send here
man OF Importance in order that I might
use use MN to make a propaganda among the
senators and others in opposition to the
Junto ana TO win over exiles
When it is remembered that the minister
was writing to a confidential agent of the
Spanish government, this advice is extraor
binary. 1t is a proposition to deceive the
United States with pretended reciprocity by
agitating the question of commercial rela-
tions for effect. Deceit and duplicity are
among the traditional and time-honored
weapons of European diplomacy, but it is
not often they are so frankly avowed as in
this instance.
But perhaps the most surprising thing
about the letter is that it should have been
written at all. No American politician of
ordinary shrewdness, certainly none deemed
fit to be a foreign minister, would take the
risk of expressing himself so unreservedly
in writing. 1t should have occurred to Senior
De LONE that tampering with mails and
stealing letters is u game that two can play
at, and the Spanish government has been
setting an example in that sort of business
that the insurgents were pretty sure TO imi-
tate. For professional diplomatic the writ
ing of the letter was a stupendous blunder
Probably Senior De LONE realizes it now.

WHAT RAILROADS SPEND.
They Are the Great Disbursing Agen-
cies of the Country.
NeW York; Sun.

The railroads of the United States ex-
pend i'm a year q sum more than 800 900. 900
in excess of the total expenditures of the
United States government and this COM
putation does not include nearly $3.50 100000
paid in the form of interest upon railroad
bonds or guaranteed stock and from $780,
mn o00 to St00 Coz 900 Maid in the form of divi-
dendS to stockholders The railroads, in
deed, are The great disbursing agencies of
the country, handling never less than bill
lion dollars in a year and disbursing it all.
or practically all, for railroads as a rule do
not keep large bank accounts, and do prac-
tically cash business, turning money
rapidly.
An estimate made by one of the scientific
papers short time ago gave as the average
annual expense of American railroads in
maintaining the condition of their road
beds $75 900. besides $35 .0G0O 600 for the pur
chase of rails ties and sleepers, and $l5-
CO0,G@ for the construction of new bridges.
The railroads of the country spent last year
for fences. signboards, signals and watch
towers SS,50000o, and for printing and adj
vertisng $3.50. 000 Very few persons have
an accurate idea of the extent TO which
railroad expenses are to be subdivided, sup
posing. probably. that the largest items OF
expenditure are for cars and engines, fuel,
employees and terminals. Such is the fact.
but there are other large items. and one OF
the largest of these is the item of taxes.
Railroad corporations in the United States
are heavily taxed, and they pay collectively
in a year, it has been estimated. $40, Zoo 600.
There is then another item which figures
largely in all railroad accounts. the item of
legal expenses, railroads being drawn into
almost constant litigation and requiring at
all times the services of counsel. 1t is esti-
mated that expenses of American railroads
for professional legal services amount in a
year TO about $4,000 900, and this is. OF
course exclusive of the sums requisite to
meet claims for personal injuries or dam
ages to property Some Of the large rail-
road companies expend as much as quar-
ter of a million dollars in year for the
settlement OF such cases or the payment of
judgments recovered. This item of expense
on all American railroads is ordinarily put

that the school exists for the child NAV
lead to a tendency to underestimate some
times what is really being done for the child
