A Little Sober Second Thought.
-om the ST Paul Disnatch

1t may not have occurred to the critics
OF the administration, and yet it may be
the fact. that the slow haste Of the govern
ment in concluding the war In the Philip
pines is intentional and wise. Our soldiers
can stand delay better than can the Fill
pinoS- Our men are abundantly supplied
with arms, ammunition and food, while the
Filipinos must depend almost wholly on
hlibustering for their supplies. If the gov
eminent can stop the filibusters from land
Ing supplies, there will not be much left for
the army to do. Perhaps that is just what
the government is aiming at. The critics
everything the government does.

From the Seattle POst-Intelligencer.
The prospects are that Bryan will recon-
slider his former expressed determination
to push silver to the front and keep it there
and embark on an agitation against trusts
1t Will be safer. Silver is a dead issue. and
he knows 1t. Anti-expanson fol-de-rol is
contrary to the spirit and genius of the
American people, and it will serve only to
weaken and divide his own party Nothing
is left but the trusts and a season of fren-
2ed oratoricai roasting of the Mckinley ad-
ministrat ton for its alleged mistakes

Presidents MESSAGE Abroad.

The Presidents message pleased the
people of this country without melting
hostile sneers from the press of Europe.
Formerly a message was considered un-
favorably at home unless the European
papers criticised it in an u~nfriendly
manner and was not pleasing to the
people Of the United States if it won
compliments from foreign sources. The
United States has risen in the esteem Of
the people of Europe because it has
been demonstrated that the country
means what 1t says through declara-
tons of congress and the chief executive
that certain things are to be done, like
freeing Cuba from Spanish rule, and re-
storing order in the Philippines. 1t was
formerly the belief upon the other side
of the water hat presidents messages
and declarations by political parties
were prepared only for the urpos of
winning votes from those who rejoiced
in declarations of fearlessness with re-
gard to a foreign policy. Europe
thought America was not to be taken
seriously as a power that might operate
outside of her traditional borders. Con-
sheraton toward an oppressed neigh
Dor, disinterested action in going to war

New York Growinu,

This year New York is spending $40,-

expended for this purpose last year.
The prospects for next year are even
greater, although building material and
labor a.. from % to 40 per cent higher
than they were last year. From Janu-
airy to November, 1898, 1855 permits
were issued for new buildings. repre-
Senting Il valuation of $5S, 1893, 290. Dur
ing the corresponding period of 1899
there We're issued 1873 permits for
buildings, valued at 800, 109, 421. and it is
we'll known that estimates filed with APP
plications for building permits are in
variably from 20 to so per cent less than
the money actually invested. These
building statistics refer to New York
proper.
Chicago will have to postpone the date
at which she expects to be bigger than
New York.

Should Have Votes in CONGRESS.

New Mexico needs the votes Of two
senators and a representative when the
bill comes up for the leasing Of the pub
lie domain. The people Of a territory
which has so much at stake in this mat
ter should have some say in regard to
the enactment Of a measure vitality af-
fecting them, but under a territorial
form of government members of con
gress care little what the opinion here
is upon any topic. The delegate from
the territory has no vote to use as a
lever in any matter, and cannot secure
support by trading. He is the privileged
agent Of the territory, may introduce a
bill and even max an argument for it's
support, but without such an agent the
territory could have bills introduced by
members of congress. Votes, not
speeches from representatives Of any
part of the Union, count. The lease law
may be passed during this session, or it
may come up after New Mexico may be
a state. But there are many measures
to be considered in the future, in the
determination Of which New Mexico, by
right, should have a voice because her
people are locally interested. Until the
territory becomes a state her people
may expect to be ignored hen their
interests are in jeopardy in regard to
measures advocated by other sections Of
the country.

Cuba Needs No Army.

When Cuba is able to- go it alone she
will not need an army, for the United
States will not permit her to be assaileC
by any foreign power. She will need
good sheriffs, constableS, police, or 9TH.
err officers. The best thing she could
do would be to discourage the mill
tary spirit of insurgent generals and
ambitious leaders who may seek their
own exaltation by military means, az
has been done 50 often in the West In
dies countries and South America. The
soldiers and their leaders should be
encouraged to raise more sugar and less
hell, to paraphraSe a remark that was
once made of turbulent southern states
after the civil a Certainly if agi-
tators succeed in making Cuba a second
Hayti in the years to come the United
States will not feel under obligations tC
keep hands off, when the interests of
American citizens on the island shall be
at stake and all the results for which
this country labored being negatived by
the action of elements which an island
government may not be able to sup
press. If Cuba should become a coun-
try of anarchy and revolution the peo-
pie of the entire civilized world would
justify the United States in taking
complete possession of the island.

Let PartisanShip Be Suspended.

The governor of Arizona has gone to
Washington with a committee of citi-
zens who say they were selected to ad-
vocate statehood without regard to
their politics. The governor says the
Democrats Of the territory have united
with Republicans in advocating the
passage of an enabling act for state
hood for Arizona. There appears to be
no organized opposition in New Mexico
to statehood, and probably petitions
would be generally signed by people of
all parties. There has been much back
ing and filling in other years by both
parties who did nv wish the territory
to become a state while this or that
party, or this or that set of men, would
secure credit and advantages. 1t is time
!, that the strife should end and the people
present a united front in this matter.
All should be willing to take chances of
future political changes either one way
or the other.

On the currency question Hon. Thos
B. Reed, in an address before the New
York chamber of commerce, said that
il the American people should be foolish
enough e to put free silver advocates
in power, an attack on the proposed
gold standard currency bill might be
expected. But" he added, "if it be
said that there is no security that con-
gress may not repeal, to that l answer
l should hope not among a people still
free-are we never to settle anything
because that settlement can be upset?
Those who have seen how long laws lin
ger which have been outgrown need not
fear that a law once passed can be too
easily repealed. If the people wish to
repeal it, it is their right, but it should
never be left in the hands of any ad-
ministration to so administer the law
we have that its amply and fully de-
clared intent should be frittered away.

to relieve distress. magnificent strength
shown by the country after beginning a
contest with a European power, ability
to take and hold lands across the ocean
and the evident willingness to meet any
force that might be set against the
United States as a result of complica-
tons, has inspired respect abroad. Eu-
ropean papers now no longer consider
that presidents messages and congress
are intended only for political effect.
The friendly expressions of the pres
ident for foreign powers do not at home
bring criticism, for the nation. in the
confidence of its own strength, knows
that cringing and Cancellation toward
foreign lands is unnecessary, and the
expressions of the president are inspired
only by frankness, and with the feeling
that the people of this country have be-
come too sure of their own standing to
begrudge a demonstration of regard for
other nations.
