The Santiago population appears to have
shown vast amount of unnecessary ex-
element over the order from Washington
respecting the custom house receipts at
that port Their understanding was that
the funds collected at the custom house
had been ordered sent to the headquarters
Of the military government a. Havana.
They at once held great mass meetings,
protesting against the order and threaten
ing if the money was sent to Havana to
rush off into the mountains and begin
an instruction. Assuming that The re-
ports of the excitement al Santiago are
correct, IL is apparent that governing the
Cubans is likely to be much more trouble
some than it was thought it would be even
by those who thought 1t would not be an
easy task.
The Cubans are a very mercurial people.
They cannot wait 10 get facts. They act
upon impressions. A rumor is sufficient
to lead them to take action on the most
important Questions. 1t is asserted that
the government at Washington has not de-
cided to send the Santiago customs re-
ceipts TO Havana. The order seems to
have been misunderstood. The order, if
our dispatches yesterday were correct, was
to send a statement to Havana every
month of the amount collected If the peo-
pie Of Santiago had waited awhile they
would have learned the truth, and would
not have shown how little regard hey
have for the government which has freed
them from the Spanish yoke. As mat
Ter of fact they have no kindly feeling for
the Americans. They mean TO get out of
Them all they can. If they had the means
they would not give a dollar towards pay
ing the Americans The cost of the war
waged in their behalf. AT least, that is
the impression that their conduct makes
upon the world. If it should become nee
cessary to send the money collected at the
Santiago custom house TO Havana H IS
doubtful If the President would hesitate 10
order it sent there The threats of insur-
rection would have no effect on him
whatever. There is no doubt that
il is the purpose of our government to deal
honestly with the Cubans. The sooner
they get that fact fixed in their minds,
the better it will be for them.

A classmate Of the late Calvin S. Brice,
recalls the fact that when they We're in
college together Brice was about as awk-
ward and uncenth a pumpkin as one ever
saw in a college class room, says the New
York World. He was tall, awkward
looking boy, with red hair and a big nose.
He wore a suit of Kentucky jeans, made
for him by his aunt the stockings were
also home made and his shoes We're of
heavy cowhide. The boys made fun of
him, but they lived to see this awkward
youth develop into good deal of a swell.
Once when Jimmy Tyson, the Aus
tralian multi-nillionaire wars about TO
make a short trip by steamer down the
cost, he was not informed of the fact
that the steamship people had made an
alteration whereby passengers were to be
fed by the company for the same amount
as had hitherto been paid for the passage
only. So as was his usual way, he took
a ham and a loaf of bread on board and
ate of his humble fare during the trip.
When they told him on his return Jim
mys wrath at the loss was terrible to
behold. His characteristic thrift showed
itself in his clothes -For weeks at a
stretch he would drive in his buggy
through his vast territories Of station
lands and on these occasions he invari-
ably went without a change of raiment.
Asked how he managed when il rained,
he answered, "Oh, well enough! When
the rain comes / undress, put my clothes
in a box under che buggy and drive on
When your quite naked the rain won t
hurt you, and in the warm air it's com
Portable. When the rain stops 1 get out
and dress again."

A GREAT MORAL QUESTION.

The discussion Of the question as to
what policy shall be adopted in respect
10 the Philippines may be said 20 have
begun. The treaty with Spain, by which
the sovereignty of the islands is transfer
rcd TO the United States has been sent
to the Senate Within day or two that
body viii begin the consideration OF il.
Col. Bryan, who IS still regarded as the
leader Of the Democratic party, is making
speeches against holding the Philippines
as colonies or OF annexing them to this
country His position is that we should
arrange for an Independent government
for them. The position Of the adminstra-
ton in respect to them is not known with
certainty. The understanding is that it is
The policy Of the President to hold them
as colonies. A few days ago one Of the
members of the cabinet was quoted as
saying that the Fiiipinos will not be given
their independence, and that they must
recognize the authority of the United
States II is fair to assume that this
cabinet officer spoke for the administra-
ton. If he did then it is safe to say that
the Republican leaders, or at least the
majority of them. have determined on a
colonial policy-a policy of Imperialism.
In other words, the Philippines will be
held against the viii of the Fiipinos
IN has message year ago the President
said: "Forcible annexation would be
criminal aggression" The President was
right when he said that But if he was
right then he cannot be right now, if il
is his purpose TO hold the Philippines by
force.
In his speech at Springfield, H., on
Wednesday night Col Bryan, in a forcible
speech, pointed Out that in determining a
policy in respect to the Philippines a
great moral question was involved. The
people will begin to see that he is right
before the discussion Of this matter has
gone very far. In fact, to satisfy them
selves on that point they need only refer
to that sentence in the Presidents mes
sage of year ago which we have quoted
in this article In the face Of the declar-
alton contained in that sentence il is diff
ficult to see how the President can ap-
prove Of any policy which does not have
in view the independence of the Fiipinos.
There is one other point that is worthy
of consideration in this connection. 1t is
this: During the session of the peace com
mission at Paris it was said that the entire
subject of the disposition, government
and control of the Philippines would be
left TO Congress. If it be true, as stated,
that member of the cabinet declared
that the Filipinos would not be given
their independence. then it is not the pur-
pose of the administration to leave the en-
tire subject as to what shall be done with
the Philippines TO Congress. Indeed, it
would not be surprising if the administra-
ton should take a very active part in set
Ting the question. Il is doubtful If the
sentiment of the people-the sentiment
born Of a full understanding of the sub
ject, and which will be permanent-has
yet been expressed.

A RARREN XICTORY1

The enemies of Senator Quay in Penn
sylvania speak of his success on Tuesday
night at Harrisburg In getting the caucus
nomination of his party for senator, as a
barren victory. AS to whether or not ii
is a barren one Is question which is not
yet settled. 1t Is true that unless he can
get some of the Republicans who re-
manned away from the caucus to vote for
him when the election for senator takes
place he cannot be elected. At the caucus
there was a majority of the Republican
members of the Legislature present, but
there were not enough present to consti-
tute a majority of the legislature. If all
who voted for him in the caucus should
vote for him when the senatorial election
takes place he would still lack nineteen
votes of a majority of the legislature
Can he get the necessary number of
votes before the date of the election? He
and his friends answer in the affirmative.
His opponents say no. The Republicans,
who are opposing him, say that he can
have a reelection to the Senate provided
he win clear himself of the charge that
he wrongfully used the money of the
state. The case is now pending in the
Supreme Court of the state. II must be
disposed of, they say, before he can have
the votes of the Republican members of
the legislature who are opposing his eiec-
ton.
Senator Quay has been In many tight
places, but it is doubtful if he was ever
in so tight place as the one he is now in
1t is difficult to see how he can avoid
either accepting the terms offered him
by his opponents or getting out of the
senatorial contest If the Republicans of
the Legislature who have taken a stand
against him are firm the senator cannot
get the necessary number of votes TO
elect and ii looks as if they would stand
firm. Evidently the senator is afraid of
the decision of the Supreme Court 1t
would seem, if he were innocent that he
would court fun investigation of the
charge that has been made against him
that he would insist on a trial at once.
The fact that he is trying TO evade a trial
has had the effect of making many Re
publicans believe that there is a great deai
Of foundation for the charge. The caucus
instead of settling the question of the
senatorship has only increased public in
tareet in If

The city of Bridgeport, Conn, is said to
be much in need of certain public i'm
provements, necessitatng the expenditure
of large amount of money. But the city
has no money! and it is bonded up to the
legal limit so that no more money can be
raised in that way, This being the situa-
ton, certain prominent citizens visited
New York the other day and asked a capt.
talist if he could arrange to secure the
money for the use of the city if they
would pledge their lives for IT, They pro
posed to have their lives insured and
give the policies TO the holder of the debt
as collateral security. 1t might be well
for interested Savannahians TO make a
note of this idea for future reference and
possible use.

from London that he desired that she
should be the best dressed lady that had
ever graeed the viceroyal court of India.
with a result that when she left Lady
Curzon took with her a wardrobe of a

censorship Of mail matter from the Phil

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Greonville IS. c. News Dem) is
not pleased with the pertinacity with
which the silver question hobs up. I,
says: IF the Democratic party wanted
to be wise it would accept the atuation
and face the facts. IL would confess that
the free silver issue and the tariff issue
have been removed from politics. for the
present at least, by the election of a gold
standard and protective Senate and the
certainty that that body will be an inn
pregnab,e barrier against free silver and
free trade for eight years to come. Then
it would grapple the real issue before the
country aud seek to unite all factions Of
the party and to gather to it's aid moder-
ate and conservative Republicans"
The Atlanta Journal Dem) takes a pes
simistic view of politics in Pennsylvania.
1t says: How much longer Quay VIII
continue to he the dominant factor in
Pennsylvania politics cannot be predicted.
His conviction of the crime with which
he Is now charged would transfer him
from the Senate to the penitentiary, hut
the wiles by which he has held his pollti-
cal power under such adverse crcum-
ctances will probably avail to acquit him
in court, no matter what the evidence

vana continues on its present moral

ering Others of their own, who would care
to prophesy that American cotton, grown
