FAIR PLAY IN CUBA.

One Of the first as well as one of the
most important matters for the atten-
ton of the next congress relates to the
future course of this government toward
Cuba. We have in the most solemn
manner possible to nation promised
that the Cubans shall have self-govern-
ment, assuming the responsibility only
of pacifying the island. Pacification, if
not already fully accomplished, is very
nearly so. Order generally prevails.
There may be more or less popular dis
content, but there are no reports of
serious disorder or lawlessness any
where. All classes Of the people, it
appears, are giving obedience to the mil
itary authority.
Such being the situation, it will be
for congress to determine how much
longer the American occupation shall
continue and what further duty this gov
ernment has in respect to Cuban affairs
''In considering the ultimate destiny
of Cuba" observes the Boston Tran
script, "the lawmakers at the capital
must deal not only with the wishes of
the United States, but the desire of
Cuba. They must regard as more than
mere formula that solemn declaration
that the United States disclaims any
intention to exercise sovereignty, juris.
diction or control of Cuba except for
the paci6cation thereof, and that when
that is accomplished 1t intends to leave
the government and control Of the island
to its people" This expresses the feel
ing, it Is not to be doubted, of very
large majority Of the American people
Our imperative duty, not to be disre
garded without dishonor, is to faithfully
fulfill the pledge we have given the
Cuban people. This we confidently be
lieve Is the purpose of the administra
ton and we do not doubt that congress

UNPLEASANT CHOICE PRESENTED
ioPocratic FuminG About n Policy
Not Yet Declared.


In closing one Of his recent sneecbe, IN
Nepraska, Mr.. Bryan said Republicans
1 propose the establishment of a republic
IN the Orient. You propose the establish
meht OF an empire in the United States
winch VIII you have? You will have to
choose"
IL suits Mr.. Bryan's present purpose to
assume that there is great fundamental
difference between his and the republican
party's policy in relation to the Pblin-
pines. The truth Is, however that no re-
publican policy has yet been formulated
beyond that OF suppressng the insurrec-
ton and establishing a temporary govern
ment The future of the Philippines and
our relations to them must be determined
by congress. The president has never in
tlmated an intent or desire to deprive
the legislative department of any portion
OF It's authority, duty and responsibility
in the premises.
We do not understand that the whirIi-
gig OF time has whirled Mr. BRYAN away
from his proposition OF a protectorate. He
has not Joined the Atkinsonians In de-
nying our rightful possession of the SOW
ereignty OF the Philippine archipelago and
demanding that we make. an unconditional
surrender He recognizes that by the
treaty whose confirmation he advocated.
we have resumed responsibilities In that
quarter. AS we understand him, he is in
FAVOR OF the establishment of a Philip
pine republic under our protection. He
knows, OF course, that as a preliminary
to entering on his plan we must put down
the Tagal insurrection. He knows, too
that this nation, II 1t undertook to set up
republic would be bound to give the
people fair chance to frame a constitu-
tion and to elect officers He does not
know, nor does anybody else know, that
the various races and tribes would care to
be under one and the same government
He probably knows, as does everybody
else, that the sulus could not be included
| in his scheme for republic. But he does
not know, for 1t is beyond the boundaries
OF human knowledge, that when peace
has been secured the republicans will
not be glad TO try the experiment Of self
government by the Filpinos on all islands
where the inhabitants want 1t and are not
| glaringly unfit for 1t.
The truth is, II Is yet too early TO formu-
late any issue between parties as to the
government Of the Philippines, We think
the American people are inclined to re-
gret that sc are responsible for these ISL
| ands But having gotten in and seeing nc
| honorable exit, the voice OF the country
calls on the government to crush out re-
bellion and TO establish order. And IL Mr.
! Bryan fears that in discharging that un-
welcome but manifest duty we shall "estab,
! lish an empire in the United States" he Il
unduly alarmed. His populist contingent
in Nebraska may be whooped up with thai
sort OF hysterla. but his democratic brethren

JICKSUNfANS AND JEFFERS ONIANS.
The Douglas county democracy are di-
vided into Jacksonans and Jefrcrsoni-
ans. The Jacksonians are better known
as the Herdman gang, while the Jeffcr-
sonians claim TO represent the better ele-
ment of democracy.
When the democratic warriors were
ranging themselves for their places on
the firing line before the recent pri-
maries the Jacksonians were mortally
afraid of the Jeffersonians and the JEFF
fersonans dreaded an encounter with
the Jacksonians. Then the state house
machine interviewed and the two fac
tiOns afraid of each other were induced
to compromise. The Jeffersonians We're
conceded the important places on the
county ticket and the Jacksonians were
allowed to retain their grip on the ma
chine.
1t is an open secret that the machine
does not expect to elect q single man on
the county ticket and would not elect
one if they could. In other words, the
Herdmanites do not care a rap about
anything or anybody except Holcomb
and the Coin Harvey campaign fund.
What they want is to be at the head of
the procession of 1900 with the Bryan
barrel exclusively placed for safe keep
ing in their hands. This is the true in
wardness of the harmonious relations
that subsist between the Jeffersonians
and Jacksonans during thepresent cam
paign.
AS to the populists, they are simply
not in it for moment. Neither the
Jacksonans nor the Jeffersonians have
any other use for them excepting to pull
their chestnuts out of the fusion bake
oven,

CHEAP DOLLARS-DEAR DOLLARS
1t is scarcely worth while TO enter into
any discussion on the money question
during the present campaign. The peo-
pie who were dcluded into the belief
that silver, wheat and all other products
always keep company have had their
eyeteeth cut. The idea that the mills
and factories must remain closed until
the mints are thrown wide open for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver has
been exploded. The mints have not been
opened, but the factories and mills are
working night and day without being
able to fill all the orders. And yet dem.
agogueS and financial fakirs continue
their stupid gable about dear dollars
and cheap dollars. They know. or ought
to know, that the dollar is the unit OF
value Just as the foot rule and pound
weight are standards of measure and
weight They might as well talk about
calico or vinegar being cheaper or dearer
because the yard stick is of brass or
wood or the gallon measure of copper or
of tin.
The dollar is the unit of value and its
essential quality is stability. The prices
of all commodities governed by the in
exorable law of supply and demand are
measured by the dollar, but the tinan.
cial fakirs persist in measuring the dol
lar by the quantity of any commodity 1t
will exchange for. They talk glibly
about cheap dollars and dear dollars the
same as one would talk of short measure
and full measure or short weight and
full weight TO give short weight or
short measure is recognized as Il cheat
and downright fraud. The same prin-
ciple governs in the measure of values.
If by cheap dollars is meant dollars
that are not up to the standard
of value such dollars would be n
cheat and fraud upon the man
and woman who is compelled to
! take them in pay for labor, and
they would be a cheat and fraud
| upon the farmer compelled to accept
| them in exchange for his products. If
| by cheap dollars is meant low interest,
| it Is proof that the lender has the ut
| most confidence in the honest intention
| of the borrower to pay back the kind of
| money he borrowed. The cheapness of
| money as represented by the low rate Of
| interest is not due to the fact that there
| has been an enormous increase in the
volume of money in this country within
the past three years, but rather to the
| fact that the credit of the nation is bet
| ter than ever and that the money lying
! idle in the banks, safety deposit vaults
or boarded by private individuals has
got into circulation by reason of resto-
ration of confidence in the stability of
our money standard and the consequent
resumption of activity in all American
Industrial establishments.
1t is not the dollar that has become
cheaper, but that the people who have
dollars are willing to let other people
use them at a low rate of interest, feel
ing sure that the loan will be repaid
instead of being repudiated or scaled by
the repayment in dollars that are not
Of standard value.

DE WEY IN COUNCIL.

The first conference between President
an immediate practical result The
naval force in the Philippines is to be
increased, the president having directed
that cruiser and two gunboats be at
once dispatched to the islands and it is
probable that other war vessels will be
sent in the near future. Dewey indi-
Gated while in command at Manila the
need of a numerous flOtilla of small
vessels which could be used in the shall
low waters and although the govern
ment supplied a number of such it ap-
pears that more are required.
The prompt effect of Dewey's advice
illustrates the confidence reposed in him
by the president, so far at least as naval
operations in the Philippines are con-
cerned. Whether or not the commander
in-chief will ask his counsel in regard to
army requirements is problematical,
though there can be no doubt that the
admiral has well-defined views on the
matter that are worthy of considera-
ton. He has expressed surprise that
the insurrection has held out so long.
He must now wonder that it is exhibit
ing as much vitality as at any time
since the war begun. The recent dem
onstrations of the Filipinos indicate that
they are as active and determined as
ever and while beaten and dispersed as
tn
numerous as before the engagements.
1t is q repetition of what has been going
on for months. Advantages gained by
the American troops are but temporary.
What is the explanation? How Is it
that the Filipinos seem to be quite as
skillful as the Americans in conducting
military operations? Perhaps Admiral
Dewey, were he disposed, could supply
the explanation, but he is not likely to
do so. His business is with the navy
and not with the army and he will not
1T is safe to say, go out of his way to
meddle with the affairs of the latter.
But he is reported to have said that
Otis has too much to do that the task
of administering both civic and military
affairs is too great for any man under
present conditions in Luzon. 1t Is pos
sible that the admiral has said this to
the president. 1t is no reflection upon
Otis. No one doubts that the command
ing general in the Philippines has done
the best he could. Some other man
might have done better, perhaps very
much better, but the fidelity, industry
and devotion to duty of General Otis
are not questioned. If too much has
been required of him the fault is at
Washington and 1t should be corrected.
There Is understood to be IN intention
to do this and it may be that Dewey
can exert an influence In this direction.
The confidence which the country re-
poses in the ability and Judgment of
Admiral Dewey is undoubtedly shared
by President Mckinley and therefore
it Is to be expected that not the least
valuable of his services to the country
will be as an adviser of the administra-
ton regarding Philippine affairs.

ON THE VERGE OF WAR.

The Boer preparations for war have
reached stage where they are ready
to strike at any moment. Their forces
now occupy strategic points on the from
tier, in full readiness for the order to
advance If the next proposals from the
British government shall be unsatisfac-
tory. Concentration Of the British
forces is also taking place as rapidly rs
possible, but these are hardly yet ade-
quate to successfully resist a formid-
able Boer advance, though 1t is claimed
the British would be able to defend Ma
tai. The latest estimates place the Boer
forces at about 10000 but they are
very likely in excess of this. The Brit
ish forces now in South Africa are not
so numerous, but active preparations are
making to send reinforcements that will
swell the number of troops to consid-
erably more than that of the Beers.
All seems now to depend upon the
new proposals which Mr.. Chamberlain
yesterday announced will shortly be
communicated to the Transvaal. If these
shall be moderate and conciliatory II
may still be possible to avert war but
it is hardly to be expected that they will
be acceptable to the Transvaal govern
ment, since in order to be so it would
be necessary for the British govern
ment to recede In some vital respects
