APPRENTICESHIP OF A GREATER
WAR

In cable letter in the World Dean
Farrar expresses apprehension of an ont
break of great war in Europe a war
In fact, that may involve the whole world
The little flame in South Africa might
easily be famed into great confiagration.
France. he says, hating England with a
bitter hatred, is ready to pour out the
walls of her wrath and hatred upon her
Russia is bent upon extending her empire
and Germany Is ambitious to engage in a
desperate battle for the supremacy of all
Europe, and even the world. And Csraat
Britain is threatened in her own houso-
hold. In the House of Commons some of
the Irish members have recently INDUCED
In very bitter attacks on the British gov
eminent.
1t Is probable that there are other prom
lnent Englishmen who take as gloomy a
view of the situation in Europe as Dean
Farrar. They know that England has no
friends in Europe. Each one of the great
continental Powers would like an oppor-
tunity TO strike her a blow, and it is prob
able that they would seize upon a very
f1imsy preteXt for doing so if they were
not afraid Of her powerful navy.
Great Britain seems to take comfort in
the expressions of good will that appear
In the newspapers of this country. She
pretends at least to believe that this conn
try is sincerely friendly to her There is
undoubtedly a show of friendship between
the United States and Great Britain. Lord
Salisbury in his Guild Hall speech the 9TH
er day took particular pains TO refer to the
sympathy" and happy relations" be-
tween the two countries. Ambassador
Choate has responded in so hearty a man
ner TO these expressions of the English
Prime Minister that in some quarters he
has been quite severely criticised.
While it is true that there is a very
friendly feeling between the two countries.
neither Englishmen nor Americans believe
it would stand any considerable strain.
Great Britain is very friendly to this coun-
try when 1t is 10 her interest to be so. and
we understand such to be the case. She
was our friend during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war mainly because it was her policy
to be friendly. She wanted us as an ally
in the Far East. We are showing SYM
pathy with her in the Transvaal war. but
il might be different If our interests drew
us in a different direction.
1t is probable that Dean Farrar takes
altogether 100 gloomy a view of the sltua-
ton. The indications are that the Trans
vaal war will be ended without any other
European country becoming involved in il.

Cuba wants chance 20 recuperate her
financial affairs at the expense Of the
United States Her Board Of Agriculture
has appointed commission to ask Con
gress 10 reduce the duty on Cuban sugar
TO that on sugar from the British colo
mics, II sin greater concessions cannot be
obtained. What Cuba would like 10 have
IS the privl &c Of selling sugar in our
market free of duty. Such concession
as that would make her lands immensely
valuable, and her sugar planters very
prosperous. But what would he the effect
on the sugar Industry of this country-the
cane sugar growers Of Louisiana and Tex
as, the syrup producers Of Georgia and the
beet sugar growers Of the East and West?
Would they not he ruined? Not onfy that
but vast revenue that Is now Obtained
from the duly on sugar would be lost.
And what would this country gan?
Very little, as far as we can see our
trade with Cuba might be increased to
some extent, but there is no assurance
that this country would be favored in
trade above other countries.
Cubas only chance of getting her SUI
gar into our market free Of duty is an
nexauon. II she consents to abandon her
demand for independence and to become
a part OF this country, the United states
would be market for her products on
the same terms that they are now a mar
ket for the products of the various states
of the Union.
This question of a market for Cuba's
products is going to be a powerful, if not
the controlling, factor in the settlement
OF the question as 10 whether Cuba win be
Independent or become a part Of this
country. 1t is quite probable that the
great majority of the Cubans who have
something at stake are in favor of an
nexation. They see that it is for their
interest. The Cubans who have nothing
except what they earn, and those who are
looking forward TO places under an indie
pendent government, are the ones who
are insisting on independence. Ii is yet
a question a. to whether they or the prop
erty-holding class and the business in
terests will dominate the island. 1t seems
to us that this movement of the Cuban
Board of Agriculture is a step towards an

THE sAMPsON-sCHLEY CONTRO-
VERSY.

Admiral Schley will soon be al sea, and
then It is probable that the controversy
growing out of the naval battle at San
tiago will cease. The latest phase of it is
the letter of the Secretary of the Navy to
the President, and the letter of Gen.
Felix Angus Of Baltimore to the Secretary.
1t seems that Gen. Angus, some weeks
ago, sent a dispatch to the President ask
ing him to receive a delegation of Mary
land Republicans, who wished to show him
that the treatment Admiral Schley was re-
celving from the navy department was in
juring the chances of the Republicans for
carrying Maryland In the approaching
election. The Secretary of the Navy heard
of this dispatch, and he wrote to the
President a long letter, in which he as
serted that the navy department had al
ways treated Admiral Schley fairly In
his letter he said some pretty harsh
things about Schley, or at least Gen. An
gus thought they were harsh, and so he
sent somewhat tart letter to the Secre-
tary.
The letters make interesting reading, be-
cause in them are presented all that the
opponents of Schley have 10 say against
him and what his friends have to say IN
his defense. 1t is but fair to say that Gen.
Angus makes it very clear that there is
no foundation for the charges which have
been made against Schley. He makes 1t
clear also that there appears to have been
settled determination In the navy de-
partment to find fault with Schley, and
to make complaints against him when
there were in fact, no good grounds for
complaint. The navy department seems to
be aggreved because its championship of
Sampson was not approved by the public
1t is full time that the controversy came
to an end. To pursue it further can do no
good. The people have settled the matter
by deciding that Schley is entitled to the
credit for the naval victory at Santiago.
This decision Is not of course agreeable to
the navy department, but having been
made by the highest tribunal there is no
appeal from it.

MIR. BRYAN's VIEW OF THE ELEC-
TIONs

In the review Of the elections which Mr..
Bryan furnished the press he takes the
ground that there was clear gain for
| the Chicago platform, Including the Is to
! idea. and that the anti-expansIon policy
OF the administration was practically con-
demned, Mr. Bryan has The reputation OF
being a very clear-headed politician, but
it must he admitted that as far as heard
from the party leaders and newspapers do
not. as rule, agree with him in this mat
ter
The two states in which the Democrats
won notable victories were Nebraska and
Maryland. In Nebraska the winning ticket
was a fusion ticket. The elements which
supported IL have very high regard for
Mr.. Bryan and for Judge Holcomb who
was the leading candidate on the ticket.
Both ere extremely popular throughout
the state There are many good politicians
who regard the victory In Nebraska as
having been won by the personal popu-
larlty Of these two men, and not as a
protest against expansion.
Maryland. having gone Democratic by a
good majority, Mr.. Bryan says he regards
az now safely in the Democratic column
But is It not fact that the Democratic
nominees were gold Democrats and was
not the silver question eliminated from the
campaign? On the showing made are
Democratic leaders inclined to accept Mr.
Bryan's Judgment that Maryland is now
safe IN the Democratic column? What
will the result be in that state next year
IL the silver question is made as promi-
nent as it was i'm 1896?
We mention these things because II
would be folly for the Democratic party
to push issues to the front which do not
give promise of Victory. Mr. Bryan thinks
that the two things which will win in
the national election next year are ap-
proval of the 16 to l idea and opposition
to expansion. The paper which gave
Mr.. Bryan his chief support in the East
in 1895, and which is his strongest SUD-
porter in that section at the present time.
declares that the entire country is prac-
tically in favor of expansion. The South
Is solidly Democratic, but it cannot be
said that the South is against expansion.
Indeed, there is a growing sentiment in
favor of it. The cotton mill interest fav-
oS II anu the cotton growing interest
feels pretty much as the cotton manufac-
turers do about it. Unless there is a radl
cal change in public sentiment and-expan-
sion cannot be depended upon as a win
ming issue.
Mr.. Bryan calls attention to the fact
that the Democrats in Ohio indorsed the
Is to 1 idea in their platform, and that
they cut down the Republican majority
in that state. But he does not mention
the further fact that at as early a date
as possible after the beginning of the cam
paign the Democratic leaders discouraged
any reference to the 16 to idea. They
found that the party was losing ground by
discussing 1t. It seems to us, as we have
already stated, that the recent elections
show that the antitrust issue is the
strongest one that the Democratic party
can put forward. 1t appears to have done
the Republicans more harm in Ohio than
any other, and in all parts of the country
opposition to trusts appears to be grovine
stronger.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. NOVEMBER IA. 1892

The Hartford Comm Times seys: THE
South has shown little interest in the rural
delivery mail matter, and is now said TO
be opposed to granting money for this
purpose" The South would welcome rural
free delivery, but not upon the terms
which TIE administration lays down IS
obligatory, namely, that the delivery must
be by negro carriers. There was not long
ago plan to establish rural free delivery
in the upper part Of this state, and negro
carriers were selected. The congressman
for the district asked the department that
white carriers be designated. in view of
the fact that the carriers would have to
visit Isolated houses OF white farmers
where the women were necessarily left
alone While the men were In the fields at
work The department replied that the
district must accept negro carriers or 1t
would get none, to which the district re-
joined that it would accept the alterna-
tive in preference. Thus the matter stands.
The rural white population of the South
IS punished by the postohice department
because it insists that the white women
shall not be menaced.

a considerable experiment in municipal
ownership. 1t already owns its water
works, electric lighting service and gas
plant and is making arrangements to own
the street railway system and the local
telephone exchange. 1t is said that in the
management of these enterprises politics
is barred and they are all run upon bust
ness principles strictly. So far Logans-
port is well pleased with the undertaking.
The electric lights are claimed to be the

WHEN WILh THE FILIPINOs QuIrl

W. HEN Will Ahn n lLlfiNOS QUIT
Some of the officers of the Tennessee reg
iment, which has just returned from the
Philippines, express the opinion that it
will require from 1900 to 100000 men 10
compel the Filipinos to surrender and ac-
knowledge the authority of the United
States. The country is so large, and il is
so difficult to follow the Filipinos in many
parts of it, that a comparatively few of
them can keep a large force engaged all
the time.
Gen. Funston, however, is of the opinion
that the end of the war is not very far
off. 1t is his belief that the Filipinos will
quit and accept our terms just as soon as
they become convinced that ii is our pur-
pose to give them a liberal and stable gov
ernment-a better government than Ag-
ulnaldo can give them. They are convinc-
ed already that they cannot cope with our
soldiers. They continue to fight because
they are misled by Aguinaldo and other
Filipino leaders. They are told that if they
surrender to the United States they will
be treated far worse than they were un-
der Spanish rule. Let the truth once find
a Judgement in their minds, Cen Funston
says, and they will lay down their arms
and cease their opposition 1t Is probable
that Gen. Funston has pretty correct
making the Filipinos understand what our
purpose is except by killing a large num-
Der of them? 1t doesn't seem so.
