Food for the Reconcentr dos,

How is the food, intended for the recon-
centrados, carried by the steamer State of
Texas, which left New York on Sunday
TO be distributed? Is the Texas to wait at
Key West unlil the fleet compels Havana
to capitulate or is it the purpose TO have
the Texas enter some other port than Ha-
vana-a port of a province controlled by
the Insurgents? But how is it to be deter
mined which of the ports, if any, are now
in the control of the insurgents?
No doubt the motive which inspired the
loading of the Texas was in the highest
degree commendable, but just now it is
not clear that there is any way in which
the food can be conveyed to those for
whom it is intended.
We have blockaded the ports of Cuba
for the purpose of starving the Spaniards
into submission. If the cargo Of the Texas
should be landed anywhere in Cuba the
chances are that it would fall into the
hands of the Spaniards, and would enable
them TO hold out longer against the block
ade.
If the food is to be kept at Key West
until the way is opened for its delivery t.
the reconcentrados, the probable
tiles are that those of the
reconcentrados who are very needy
now viii not need any assistance
then. They will be either able to take care
of themselves, having been given permis-
sion TO go back to their homes. or else
they win have passed beyond human help
1t is difficult to see, therefore, just what
is TO be accomplished by sending cargoes
of food TO the reconcentrados AT this time
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-04-26

Before Congress decided to drive the
Spaniards out of Cuba the insurgent
leaders were quoted as saying that all
they asked was recognition of Cuba's in
dependence. With that help, they said,
they could easily compel Spain to remove
her flag from Cuba.
Now they are saying that there is no
occasion for the United States to send
troops TO Cuba; that if they are supplied
with a sufficient number of Springfield
rifles, a few heavy guns and plenty of
ammunition they will drive the Spaniards
out of Cuba in short order
Why not give them a chance to show
what they can do? If they can raise an
army of $1,000 men in few weeks time,
why not give them guns and ammunition?
Is there any good reason for not giving
them chance for winning the independ-
ence of Cuba? If the Cubans are to own
and govern that island why not let them
make the. sacrifices which are necessary
to win it from the Spaniards.
There may be some army officers and
some civilians who hope to have official
positions, who. anxious for a chance to
distinguish themselves in battle, are OPP
posed to letting the insurgents do the work
of driving the Spaniards out of the island,
but We are confident that the great ma
jority of the. men in the organized militia
not seeing much pleasure or glory in fight
ing Spanards in Cuba would not object to
having the request of the insurgents
tod Of
list because the country needs them, and
because they are determined that the ma
tional flag shall be sustained in what
| ever the government undertakes, but the
cause for the war is not one which APP
peals to them as an invasion of our terri
tory by a foreign foe would.
1t is true, of course. that Congress has
not decided that the Cubans who are bat
Ting for independence of their people shall
have control of affairs if they should be
successful, and the President and his adj
visers may have grave doubts as to
| whether law and order would prevail in
Cuba to any greater extent than it does
now if the insurgent leaders should be
placed in charge of a new government
| SUCH reasons as these may be preventing
the President from granting the requests
of the insurgent leaders for arms and am
munition. Whatever the reasons are it
seems TO be pretty plain that the insur-
gents are not going to be given a chance
TO conquer peace for Cuba without our
assistance.
It is a question in the minds of well in
formed army officers whether the insur-
gent forces can be depended upon to do
the kind of fighting that is required. or
whether they would be of much service
in freeing Cuba if we should send an
army there to accomplish that object. 1t
may be assumed, therefore. with great
degree of certainty that if the Spaniards
-are driven out of Cuba it will be done
mainly by the army and navy of the United
| States.

TronhIe for Mr.. Hanna.

Senator Hanna hoped probably that the
war excitement would draw the attention
of the Ohio Legislature away from the
charge made against him that he obtained
his election to the United States Senate
by bribery. II is apparent. however, that
his political enemies do not intend to aban-
don the charge as long as they can get the
Legislature TO give it attention.
The Senate is against him. The
report Of the majority of the
committee entrusted with the case
being averse to him was adopted.
What the House will do has not yet been
determined. Senator Hanna may be able
70 control it-that is, if he is as liberal with
his money as his political enemies say ne
is.
But whether he is acquitted or not the
fact that a majority of the Senate of his
state believed that he reached the United
States Senate by means of bribery will
greatly impair his usefulness al Washing
ton.
1t is gratifying that there is so strong
a sentiment in favor of electing Senators
by the people. In the course of a very
few years, in all probability, about all the
states will adopt that method of choosing
their senators. There will not then be so
much talk about bribery in the election of
United States senators.
A rich man cannot now be elected to the
Senate without having the charge
brought against him that he bought his
election. He may have been compelled to
buy his election or submit to defeat. II is
pretty certain that Legislatures are not
bought unless the majority of their men,
Ders want to be bought. Senator Hanna
may have bought his way into the Senate
1t would not be surprising if he did. He
thinks that with money one can accom-
plish almost anything Still, If he did buy
MS election, il is pretty clean that he was
offered the alternative of putting up his
money or being beaten. He was nominated
by the state convention of his party for
senator, and therefore had a big claim
upon the senatorship. If he paid anybody
TO vote for him it is safe to say the person
paid practically blackmailed him.

A Quick Courtship.

Stats Zeitung's edge, saying at intervals,
admiringly:

After awhile the man began to cough
and the eyes of the old lady were turned
toward him with deep interest and COM
passion in their depths.
"Oh, dot vas too bat! How you got
dat col? oh, my! oh, myp' There were
many smiles among the spectators, but
the old man seemed delighted with the
sympathy. He patted his chest and shook
his head to show how serious the case
was, and the old lady went over to the va
cant seat by his side, leaning forward
anxiously?

She folded her mittened hands and
spoke quite simply; and the old man
beamed and nodded impressively. BY and
by he said:

goot! You got some money? Nein? Some
husban'-nein?''
The old lady shook her head and the
man relapsed into meditative silence. Then
he leaned forward and took her hand.
'Mebbe We get married, some tay, eh?"
he asked, questioningly. And, alls uncon-
scious of the smiling people about her,
she gravely nodded and said:
