Sagasta is reported from Madrid as
saying that Spain may expect cheering
news from Cuba before April. Indeed?
What does the old man expect, now
that autonomy is a flat failure and that
the territory occupied by the insur-
gents has not been reduced by so much
as square mile? Is it possible that
the Minister expects TO be able to re-
port that the United States has recog-
nized Cuban independence or the bellig-
ereney of the insurgents? That would
be cheering news, indeed. if Spain is
DESTROYS of being rid of the island and
ali that is upon it.

PROMULGATED and acted upon similar
doctrine in the division of states ana
nations and in drawing the lines beyond
which powers should not pass without
the consent of neighbors. However
much Europeans may tfp-tilt the nose
at the Monroe doctrine it is hvlng,
breathing and never dying American
policy that is backed by reason and the
dictates of self preservation, albeit II
may be abused and carried to an I'M
reasonable limit. Does any man IN Eu-
rope really think, for instance. that
this people could maintain selI-re-
spect and inspire the regard of others IL
they sat idly by and permitted power
Of Europe or Asia to come IN, take
Mexico, subdivide it and settle down
by our side without so much as asking
consent? Do any people abroad i'm
agine that the powers of Europe would
expect America to remain passive while
they divided and occupied the states
of Central America, or seized upon ana

can continent? Within a month, on
frequent occasions the European press
has taken occasion to express its con-
tempt for the Monroe doctrine, and to
utter forecasts of what its assertion
will lead to, and to warn Americans
that they are treading upon dangerous
ground in promoting such an absurd
policy. But we apprehend that the
American people will not be at all dis
turbed by these expressions. They VIII
adhere to the principle that 1t Is
part and parcel of the doctrine OF self
pres arvation that foreign powers shall
not, without our consent, subvert gov
ernments upon this and the adjacent
continent and set UP monarchical lnst-
tutions under our noses. Call it what
they may the foreign nations may as
we'll accept the doctrine as the hXed
policy of a nation able to assert and
maintain it.

Let Us not loose our temper because
Spaniards in Cuba and elsewhere some
times speak out very insultingly of
America ana Americans. Have we not
been just as free and emphatic
and dramatic in giving voice
to our opinions about Spain
and Spaniards? The latter could not
possibly, no matter how much they
tried, have said harsher things of US.
But national issues are not settled by
the expressions of those people who
imagine that there is strength in vitup-

The San Francisco Examiner edl-
torially froths at the lips with eXecra-
lions because Congress does not at once
order a dozen battleships to replace the
Maine. 1t belabors the leaders in Con-
gress for not Immediately authorizing
the necessary increase Of men in the
navy, and generally for not preparing
for war in time of peace. If We are not
away off, in memory, then we recall
the time when the Examiner was
roaring at the enormous cost of Govern
ment. 1t is just possible that the chief
of sensationalists was sometime ago IN
favor of enlargement of army and navy
and the building of more warships, but
we think the fact is that not until the
present war craze seized it, was it so
much concerned upon that subject. The
fact is also that Congress is proceeding
wisely in acting slowly. 1t is by no
means certain that we want more battle
ships 1t is a question at least whether
we should build those of the order we
ton whether a larger number Of boats
of small capacity and great speed is not
the greater need; whether we shall here
after put so many eggs into one basket
as We have been doing; whether torpedo
boats and monitors calling for small
crews and costing not more than one
fifth the outlay for battleships are not
better for both attack and defense, sup
plemented by swift cruisers and COM
-merce destroyers. 1t takes much time
to build battleships and puts great
stake into one risk. If we are to have
war soon it is simply impossible to
construct battleships in time for it, nor
indeed any other order of iron clads. AS
for increasing the effective service OF
the navy by enrolling more blue jackets
and marines and enlarging the number
Of line officers, that has been urged for
years If there is any unnecessary de-
lay in ordering such a policy it is rep
lost on the 18th of February less than
three weeks ago, it is submitted that
Congress has not been laggard on that
account. If it has not been industrious
in the matter the charge has been good
for the last half dozen years. Every
need that the Examiner" now dwells
upon has been pushed before the atten-
ton of Congress for six years past, and
the Record Union" has been one OF
the influences to keep the matter in the
public mind along with large body OF
the American press. The Examiner

GOOD OBJECTION.

Mountain Democrat: When the dem
agogues and reformers start out to make
themselves vicarious martyrs for others
they nearly always mistake the saints
for the sinners. They claim to be and to
represent the very people for whom they
offer up their precious lives. Not to
allow such fellows to die for themselves
would be a calamity. And one of our
objections to the primary election law
is, that it will prevent them from setting
up for themselves and the dear people
who delight in their martyrdom.

lT Is claimed that the Sugar

from annexation, for competition
OF Hawaiian sugar will surely stitle
the growth of the beet sugar in
dus,ry in the United States, aud
the beet sugar producers are the
most dangerous competitors of the

sugar plants that extract sugar
from the beet turn ont sugar ready
for use, that needs no further re-

The Hawaiian islands, now a
part of the United States, consist
of territory about six times the
area of the state of Rhode Island,
equally as fertile as the most fa-
vored spot of New England and
with productive capabilities SO far
IN excess as to be almost incom-
parable. Eight of the islands are
remarkably fertile and susceptible
to cultivation. The four largest
Hawaii, Maui, Oalu, and Kauai
are particularly rich, abounding
in land fitted for sugar, coffee, rice
and fruit raising. On Kauai there
are coffee plantations of 100000
acres, and next to sugar, which
has always been the chief product
of the islands, the cultivation of
coffee is looked upon us having
rich possibilities. Rice is also
destined to hold important posi-
ton among the products. Large
tracts of government land still
abound and nre rapidly being
opened for settlement.

UNION OF FORCES.


state central committees of the re-
publican. democratic and populist
parties of Colorado to fuse the
three parties into one this fall.
If this is done and the three
parties endorse the resolutions
adopted at Denver Saturday, the
legitimate result will be the total
destruction of the so-called silver
republican party, and of the other
two parties to the union that party
which has the greatest national
following will be the gamer by the
unnatural alliance.
Trace the silver republican party
in this state back TO 1896. Then
it was the party that dominated
the politics of the state and it took
the prefix "silver" simply to cap
ture the Offices for that year. Had
Bryan been elected it would have
gone over to the democratic party
but as Mckinley succeeded it in
vited the democratic party into its
parlor last year, but the democrats
refused and it went over to the
Mckinley republicans and was
beaten, and today the ndministra-
tion forces dominate both wings of
the 6. o. p. and if this proposed
alliance is consummated it will be
the end of the silver republican
party in Colorado, even though it
saves few offices.
The union of forces will not
hurt the democratic party; it is
already as badly hurt as it can be.
The populist party stood up
manfully under the blow which
the democratic party dealt to it n,
Chicago in 1896, but it can never
survive such resolution as is now
offered it by its state central com.
mittee, namely, that the question
of fres coinage of silver is th,
paramount issue in the politics o.
, the nation"
Outside of a silver producing
state no populist in the natiol
t would have the temerity to intro
duce such a resolution III popu
list convention. Every popnlis
1 in Colorado who coulG pass m ex
I animation outside of the state

Q adoption Of such a resolution by

:; plete disruption of the party fo
Q the sake Of a few local Office,
