Congress and Cuha

IL tnls Congress appears to be fervent
and heated in the matter of Cuba does IL
diner In that respect from its predecessor?
Take the record of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress. Both the Senate and House took
advanced ground in favor of the Cuban
cause The House, particularly, was most
aggressive. No more stirring scene was
ever witnessed in the popular branch of
Congress than when MIR. Hit, then, as now.

committee on rules had assisted in making
way for the introduction of the resolution.
Republicans and democrats alike spoke and
voted for the measure, and packed gal
leries cheered every friendly word that was
uttered.
That was two years ago, and the Animal
ing feeling was one purely of sentiment.
The insurgents had been In the field only
about year. But in that time they had
exhibited spirit and intrepidity, and as II
was known that they were fighting for in

Worthy of Confidence.

The defamatory gossip, alleging weak
Tess and vacillation in the Presidents
views concerning the Cuban problem, has
never gained credence with any respectable
fraction of the American people. L. is true
II at he has exhausted every possible means
Consistent with national self-respect to OBJ
tain a peaceful settlement of the contrc-
versy. and the republic thoroughly indorses
and approves his labors in that direction
and the wise and Christian policy upon
which they were based. But whether
peace or war was to result the people ex-
pressed their confidence in the firmness
and wisdom of the executive.
Congress appropriated 1000 for ma
tional defense without dissenting vote
Since that time the army and navy have
been working night and day to prepare for
any emergency When that appropriation
was made all the people irrespective of
party. creeds and nationality Joined har-
moniously in the action. 1t was for ma
tional honor. The President in the mean
time was using every effort with Spain to
bring about peace and proper recognition
Of the insurgents. He was led to believe
that success was to crown his efforts. 1t
turns out that Spain was deceiving US to
gain time and his efforts have failed.
Having taken our position, and that posi-
ton just one, there is no possibility of
withdrawal from it.
The Star is convinced that in his message
soon to be submitted to Congress the Presi-
dent will meet the Cuban emergency as
completely and as satisfactorily as the
others which have confronted him in his
official career. and that the policy which he
will announce will in its vigorous Ameri-
canism voice the sentiments and receive
the hearty approval of the people or the
republic

country. Moreover, both national conven-
lions of that year incorporated plank
friendly to Cuba into their platform.
Since then there has been no dimuni-
ton of the spirit or capacity of the insur-
gents. And they are still fighting for inde-
pendence So that upon the score Of senti-
ment alone this Congress could afford to
take the same stand that the last one
did. But Weylerism, with all of the hor-
rors 1t has produced. is also now to be con-
sidered. And the destruction of the Maine,
in circumstances fixing the responsibility
on Spain, is an item of great moment.
When everything is considered, indeed;
the cause for which the Cuban people are
fighting, the sufferings they have under
gone, the interest the American people are
entitled to take in them and their affairs,
the course of Spain toward this government
during the past twelve months; the i'm
patience of Congress to aid in bringing
matters to a crisis has been entirely natu-
raj
Nevertheless the restraint which Con-
gress itself has placed upon this Impotence
in the desire that the executive and legis-
lative branches should act as unit in the
matter is commemorate upon the highest
grounds of public policy. If the President
couiu nave secuTeo through pedceiul hednS
that upon which all America had deter
mined in respect to Cuba every American
would call him blessed. His determined
effort to secure this result has received the
popular Endorsement. If diplomatic nego-
tiations are now at an end, as they seem
to be. the time for this government with
the executive and legislative branches in
harmonious cooperation to take another
course is to be determined solely by consid-
Grafton of the date and method of action
most advantageous for the interests of the
republic The President and Congress can
be relied upon to reach a wise decision
upon this point. The period of reasonable
and safe elaboration, not disadvantageous
to the United States, is enlarged by the de-
tention of the Spanish torpedo fotilla on
the other side of the Atlantic.

This has been apparent all along, and as
much so under the regime of Senior Canovas
as, since, under that of Senior Sagasta.
SPANS sensitiyeness on the subject of
Cuba is counterfeit feeling. She has
confessed in several ways to her inability
to meet the emergency In the island, and to
an entire willingness to accept aid from
this government In her effort to reassert
control over her colony 1t is only when
the United States proposes policy in favor
of the insurgents that Spain stiffens her
back. and. rising to her full height, de-
clines all interference with her private af-
fairs.
There has never been a day since the
present administration assumed power that
the good offices of this government could
have been secured toward persuading the
insurgents to put their trust in Spanish
promises about reforms or anything else,
and they cannot be so secured now. That
is distinctly question not for the United
States to decide OF to assist in deciding
1t is of vital concern to the insurgents, and
their decision has. been rendered The
Spanish overtures have been rejected and
on two grounds: ~ Their insincerity, and
CD their insufficiency. The insurgents de-
clare that independence, and independence
only, will satisfy them.
The United States is bound by every con-
sideration of right and justice to guide by
this chart. 1t holds to the right of inter-
vention. and in exercising that right it
must intervene on the side of its sympathies
and interests. 1t desires permanent peace for
Cuba, and that may be obtained only by the
bringing of Spanish rule in the island to an
end. The insurgents declare that, and from
their decision the United States cannot ap-
peal, and is not disposed to appeal.
Spain has confessed maladministration in
Cuba by promising all sorts of reforms, and
has admitted her inability to put down the
war by inviting the United States to inter-
vene on her side. -Ier real duty, to herself,
to Cuba, to the United States and to all
humanity, is to haul down her flag and re-
tire from the island

The Dangerous Contact system,

The killing of a horse by the electric cur
rent used by the Capital railway in it's
urban operations Saturday conclusively
shows that the original decision of the
Commissioners in this connection was en-
tirely justifiable. This is the first case of
a fatal result from the current. The horse
was not killed directly but the current, but
was seriously shocked that death was
out question of time and humane consid-
erations prompted the sending Of dis
Patching shot into his head. Other horses
have been shocked and to avoid this result
watchmen are supposed to test the contact
boxes after the passage of each car. 1t
will be recalled that since the Commission
crs formally disapproved of the system an
extension was secured and the company is
Low working under permit to correct GER
tain faults in the contact points. No work
has been done yet on the tracks here and
the permit runs on for about five weeks.
it remains to be seen whether the amenda-
tory efforts will remove the Objectionable
features of the system, which are shown
by Saturdays accident to be beyond toler-
aLce. The general desire of the authori-
ties and the people is for an extension of
the conduit system throughout the city in
order to harmonic the rapid transit pro-
cesses in use as far as possible. The device
under consideration is plainly an expert
ment and it must be demonstrated to be
absolutely reliable in order to secure
favorable report from and acceptance by
the Commissioners. who have notified the
company using it that If after the recon-
struction work now in preparation the
operation shows that there is the least
degree of identification in the contact box
es the order will be given at once to remove
the experimental track and to substitute
the conduit system, which was intended by
Congress to be used. The true value of the
accident Of Saturday is in showing that the
Commissioners were right when they re-
jected the system as it stands and likewise
right in demanding the production of a
practically perfect substitute in the future
While it may not be true that the current
that fatally shocked the horse Saturday
would have killed human being in the
same circumstances, owing to the greater
receptivity of the horse on account of his
metal shoes, yet it is plain that there is
grave danger in any possibility that horses
| may be shocked and 50 started into running
away.

Not Bluster, but Simple Truth.
From the Louisville Courie r-Journa1

The resources of the United States are SO
vast that We ourselves wholly fail to real
ize them. We are masters of the greatest
of the continents. We are the possessors
of perfect system OF government. On our
own ground we are more than q match for
all Europe, still barring England and Rus
STA. We have to go abroad for nothing
Within ourselves we are absolutely self
sustaining. In all mechanical arts and
martial appliances we lead the world. OuI
food products are exhaustless. United as
nation no power on earth could successful
ly come against u.s. This is not buster. II
isNthe simple truth; and the statesmen sol.
diers and financiers of Europe know 1t very
well. The American who disputes 1t either
does not know his own country or greatly
overestimates the outer world

A Chance for the Telephone Company

Pennsylvania judge recently rendered
decision of interest to telephone users
that may profitably be noted at this
local juncture, when the question of tele-
phonic espionage is prominent in the pend
ing controversy over rates. This Judge
held that a telephone message cannot be
made the basis Of a knowledge and BELIEF
affidavit in Suit There have been other
court decisions along the line taken here
oil the gr 'und that the identity of the per-
son telephoning is not thoroughly estab-
hshed as in the case of a face-to-face en-
counter. 1t has Teen held that the identity
OF the parties to such a conversation should
be proved beyond a reasonable doubt
whenever the words used may become the
E&siS for or testimony in suit at law
According to the local experience it should
not be difficult to prove identity or to prove
the words used, by the testimony of Il
third party. The theoretical telephone
conversation is mechanically limited to two
persons, but it is notorious that a third
person may listen to the words of both
speakers. Indeed it is admitted by the
local company that this practice is in
vogue, for the ostensible and in some cases
genuine reason that the company desires
to check what it terms the improper use
o. the service. 1t is assumed in this con-
nection that the so-ealled monitors ar
central are trained in the identified ton CT
the voices of those who are entitled under
the regulations of the company to use the
phone and it should not be difficult to es-
tablish under s1ch a system a method
whereby the telephone company could, for
stated charge, supply the identifications
required by the law whenever telephone
conversations resulted in law suits. This
suggestion Is advanced in the hope that it's
adoption may result in such a revenue to
the company from this collateral source
that the threatened reduction of the rates
will not bring hardship to the unfortunate
stockholders.
