Nothing to BE Proud OF.
prom the New York WORLDLY

IFrOm the New IOIk WOTIU.I
Mr.. MCKinley's personal and political
admirers boast that of fully 5000 names
sent by him 10 the Senate in the last ten
months not one has been rejected. why
should they have been rejected? They
were practically furnished to the Presi-
dent by the Republican Senators, and
when they came back from the White
House these Senators acted on them under
an understanding that no Sena tor would
make objections so long as his own men
were approved

A Revolution Impending.

Buenos Ayres, Argentina, Feb. 12.-
Advices from Rio Janeiro state that
there is some reason TO believe that
representatives of the States of Rio
Grande do Sui, Parana, Santa Cathri-
ma and Minas Geraes win soon meet
and proclaim their separation from
Brazil, and establish an independent re-
public. Recent orders from Brazil to
the United States for twenty locomo-
tives are regarded by the press of Rio
Janeiro as a sign of a renewal of the
commercial relations between the two
governments.

There is still a way out Of this laby-
rinth with honor. If Spain viii not
apologize for the Insult to America and
its Chief Magistrate. let Gen. Wood
ford place American interests in Spain
in charge Of the Russian envoy to the
Spanish court, close up the legation,
order the consuls to leave, and come
home. Whether that should become
necessary or not, another day should
not be lost in recognizing the inde-
pendence Of the Cuban Republic. That
act would relieve us Of all need for
physical Intervention i'm Cuba. except
to protect Americans in the seaports.
il Spain should think it well to con-
slider recognition as a casus belli. all
right. She would be the aggressor. In
any event the matter ought to be
brought to an issue. When we reflect
how simple and easy it would have
been for us to avoid all this trouble
we are in, by a mere recognition of
Cuban bellgerency six months ago. we
are all the more bound to remember
that our relative position will not be
as favorable for ultimate action three
months hence as il is now. Recogniz-
ed as full state, the Cuban govern
ment would be amply able 20 take care
of the Spaniards there. and our Navy
could attend to them elsewhere The
Administration is not in the best form
just now to take many more liberties
with the wishes and demands of the
people.

All the nations, big and little, are dis
playing signs Of vigor and ginger; all
except this country. The news Genes
that an Italian war vessel or two will
shortly show up in the harbor of Port
au Prince to collect a bill of 500, 600 dam
ages which Italy has against the black
republic. The ability of the Haitian au-
thorities to raise that much cash on the
minute is open to some doubt, although,
Of course, il could be procured one way
or another. But the financial part of the
affair is not its most serious aspect. We
assume that. if the money is not paid, the
Italian ships will lombard the city.
That would be highly injurious 10
American commercial interests, and
might destroy some American lives. If
the money should be handed over, the
fact would be very likely 10 lead to an
immediate native insurrection, and that
would be about as bad for outsiders as
a bombardment. The example set by
Kaiser Wilhelm, i'm giving Haiti only
four hours i'm which TO make a settle
ment Of Germany's claims, may not be
closely followed by the Italians. We are
apprehensiVe. however. that il win be,
and that we are to have another object

in general, and this nation in particular,

A BILL TO CORRECT DEFECTS
Effort TO Be Made TO Amend the In.
tcrstate Commerce Law

The Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee did not succeed in getting a meet
ing this week to further consider the bill
10 correct alleged defects in the inter
state commerce law. No effort will prob
ably be made to get together until next
Thursday. Senator Tillman. who with
Senators Chandler and Chiffon has

OH, says that Mr.. Cullom's bill to amend
the interstate commerce law looks To
hlm tIlllmanl as If il conferred both the
railroad pooling and the anti-scalping
privileges. 1t is thought that the mem
bers OF the committee opposed to all
these measures will adopt the policy of
absenting themselves from the meeting
thus breaking quorums as often as possi-
Die. Messrs Aldrich and Smith are reg

VINO nave banded together an opportun-

ST. LOUIS, Oct. l-Governor Steph.

and Chief of Police Campbell, who have
inaugurated a war on the usarers of
this city, have returned from New
York. where they went to see officials
OF the Western Union Telegraph com.
pany and get them to rescind a rule
under which employees were discharged
when served with a punishment. For
years employees of the telegraph com.
panies, as we'll as those Of railroads
and other coucers in St. Louis, have
suffered from the excrbitant interest
charges made BY SO called money
sharks" for loans.
In some cases as high as $40 per
month has been paid by those luckless
enough to have to borrow money. This
had become such a burden that, it is
said more than n man has given up
Trying to pay accumulated interest ana

will proceed against any Of the usurers,
when proper cases ere presented, free

1t Is stated that while the party that
went to New York failed TO secure a
complete annulment of the rule calling
tor the dismissal of offending employees,
they did receive a promise that i,
