WASHINGTON AND M'kINLEY.
The Government Mt Washington Is
All Right.


Some of our yellow contemporaries
are wondering what Washington would
do to-day if he were living. This of
course is tacit admission of ignorance
of Washington's character-and as a
rule the yellows are averse to confess
ing ignorance, though, as is well known,
they are singularly Objectionable in
that respect.
Well, one thing is certain, If Wash
ington were living he would not try and
force his country into war before it was
known whether it had reason for taking
that decisive and solemn step.
He would be, as he was in his own
time, deliberate, patient and patriotic
In the farewell address of September
II, 1896, he said: "Observe good faith
and justice towards all nations; cuIti-
vate peace and harmony with all. Re-
ligion and morality enjoin this conduct;
and can it be that good policy does not
equally enioin it? 1t will be worthy of
free, enlightened and at no distant
period n great nation, to give to man
kind the magnanimous and too novel
example of a people always guided by
an exalted justice and benevolence.
Who can doubt that in the course of
time and things the fruits of such a
plan would richly repay any temporary
advantages which might be lost by a
steady adherence to it? Can. it be that
Providence has not connected the per-
manent felicity of a nation with it's
virtue? The experiment at least is rec
commended by every sentiment which
ennobles human nature. Alas! is it
rendered impossible by its vices?"
Our contemporaries which intimate
to their readers that the Mckinley adj
ministration is lacking in firmness and
courage. because it is not acting as
Washington would have acted, were he
living. shows remarkable ignorance of
the character and the public policies
of the first president of the republic.
Forbearance and patience were the
keynotes OF his character in dealing
with public affairs. In private matters
he might occasionally be irascible and
not always as patient as he might be,
but when it came to dealing with affairs
of great character which affected the
interests of his countrymen he acted
in manner which would have discour-
aged the yellow journalists of this time,
and which moved their prototypes of
his generation to abuse him in ribald
style.
It is close to the truth to say that
William Mckinley to-day is acting as
Washington would have done if he we're
confronted by the present situation. 1t
is true that some time has elapsed
since the Maine was blown up. and in
that time. so far as the public is in
formed, the government has taken no
affirmative action. But to assume that
the government is inactive, or that it
is paltering with a grave problem, is
ridiculous, and those who make the
charge lay themselves open to strong
| criticism.
The government at Washington is all
| right. It is doing its duty az the peo-
pie will ascertain in the fullness of time.

ROsT is getting rid of its profes-

The beggars are given the choice of
disappearing from the streets or going

which have not adopted the Boston
plan, and the others are in Jail, where
they will be required to stay until they

JUNIA SILL IALkS
Ouesada is Before the House
Foreign Committee.
GOVERNMENT OF CUBA
He Explains at Length--PaIma
en- the ArmiStiCe,

Washington, April THE house COM
mittee on foreign affairs had Mr.. Queseda
of the Cuban junta, before them for an
hour today. Mr.. Quesada said when he
came out that the committee had enjoined
secrecy upon him.
Mr.. ouesada was asked as to the gov
eminent Of the republic OF Cuba, which
the United States Is asked 10 recognize
and members say he gave full and sat
isfactorv statement. He described the ter
ri+or-v in possession of the insurgents
the government in Puerto Principe and
Santiago provinces. II the former prov
ince. he said, there were 250OO0 people
who acknowledge allegiance to the Cu-
ban government. Four hundred Thousand
dollars, he said, had been collected N
taxes. The capital Of the republic ne
said. had been twice dislodged, but 1t
was in working order. He explained the
functions Of the government. II the
United States should interfere without
recognizing the Independence of the re-
public. he said, it would be a virtual dec
laration of war against the insurgents
as well as the Spardards Mr.. Quesada
did not finish his statement. He will ap-
pear before the committee again tomor-
row.
NJ Quesada denied cmphatically that
the Cuban republic had issued $50,OOO'OOO
Of bonds. Only 100000 of the bonds, he
said, had ever been issued, and less than
100000 Of these had been sold.
Mr. Quesada said that a declaration of
war against Spain by the United States
would be a declaration gainst all of
SPANS subjects, and if not coupled with
the recognition of Cuba or recognition of
beuigerent rights would include the in
surgents, now regarded as subjects of
Spain, as such a declaration would be
| against Spain and all her colonies.
Mr.. QGesada thought this feature Of
| the case needed careful scrutiny.
Tomas Estrada Palma, delegate Of the
provisional government of Cuba, when
asked this morning If he had any COM
ments to make regarding the statement
| in New York yesterday by Horatio S.
| Rubcns, counsel of the Cuban junta, die
! tated the following reply:
''All care to say is this: That the Gu
| bans are struggling for absolute indie
! pendence. They have made tremendous
! sacrifices for this purpose. They consider
! themselves already emancipated from
| Spanish rule, therefore they viii resist
| all interference intended to compel them
| to pay anew allegiance to the sovereignty
| Of Spain"
| Asked what position he would consider
it likely the government would take in
view Of a possible armistice, he said:
''If the American government acknowl-
| edged the independence of Cuba and rec
| ognized the actual government of Cuba,
1 think it would not be difficult to ac-
cept, by the government of the republic
Of Cuba, an armistice, with the purpose
OF assuring the peace of the island"
