Cuban Credit is Still NOn.existent.

How far the Cubans are from an in
dependent government is clearly shown
by the result of their attempts to bor-
row $12 100000 TO pay their soldiers.
No financiers will consider the PROPOSE
ton to lend money to them unless they
can persuade the United States TO guar
antee the payment of the debt. The
United States will give no such a guar
antee under present conditions. And
they ought not to. 1t will be impos-
sible for the Cubans to borrow any
large sums for many months and per-
haps years. They have no permanent
government of their own yet and tech
nically they still belong to Spain. The
treaty under which Spain surrenders
her sovereignty has not yet been rati-
fed by both parties to it. Little can be
done by the Cubans toward establish
ing stable government until the treaty
is approved by the Spanish authorities.
When that is done the United States.
in the fulflment of their pledges, will
attempt to discover what the Cubans
desire, and they will insist that the
wishes shall be expressed in an order.
ly way. We shall continue in control
OF affairs there till we can assure our
selves that the order will be permanent
No man knows to-day how soon that
assurance can be given. But we do
know that 80 long as there is any doubt
OF the stability of the Cuban institu-
tions no money will be lent on the Sc.
curity of Cuban bonds.
This condition, however, is not one
which need cause any uneasiness ia
Washington or anywhere else. 1t is
the inevitable result of our interfer-
ence in the affairs OF the island and
was one of the few things which was
foreseen when the war began. Even
though independence for the island is
not in sight affairs there are progress
ing satisfactorily. Brooklyn Eagle.

YermOnt's Election Law.

The Free Press finds in the expert
ence of the recent local election in va
rious Vermont cities reasons for the
radical amendment of that section of
the law providing for the assistance of
voters in marking ballots. The contem-
porary demands the elimination of the
assistance provision, declaring that it
is Irresponsible for more corruption in
connection with our elections then can
be estimated"
Testimony in support of the Free
Press demand can be found in Mont
pelier. Furthermore, if that paper had
gone further, and demanded the repeal
of the law, the demand could be sus-
tanned by some of the facts of the re-
cent election in this city. The law was
unquestionably barrier to the free ex-
preston of the will of the people.
Public opinion had undergone radical
change since the caucases were held,
for we'll known reasons. Had the fexi-
bility of action which the old system
allowed been possib Q, both In the mat

Bad Citizenship in High Places.

An estimate of the quality of the citi
zenship from which men who, like
Carl Schurz, habitually contemn Amer
lean institutions and oppose Republi-
can policies is recruited, may be made
from the remarks Of Charles Francis
Adams, at the dinner recently given
in honor of Schurz. Mr.. Adams criti-
cised, among other things, the way Of
choosing Representatives in Congress.
He said that he didn't even know who
the Representative for the district in
which he lived and voted was. He
must have voted for him, he said, "but
to save myself from States prison L
could not tell you here tonight what the
name of the candidate was, nor had l
ever heard of him before" Mr.. Adams
asked, GLOW many others here are in
the same case?
Who is the man who makes this
humiliating confession, and seeks to
know how many companions in dis
grace and ignominy he has? He is a
public man of wide repute, descendant
of signer of the Declaration of In
dependence and a President of the
United States who knew something of
public affairs in his day. This degen-
crate scion of distinguished family
who now confesses himself civic i'm
beetle and ignoramus, and seems to
glory in the confession, is graduate Of
Harvard college, man who has been
much in public life and who has often
addressed and aspired to lead and in
struct people in the duties of citizen
ship. Can the ranks of alleged ignor-
ant or illiterate voters produce a more
deplorable case of bad citizenship? Is
the menace to republican institutions,
indeed, confined to this class of citi-
zens?
On his own confession Charles
Francis Adams ought to be disfran-
chised, and readmitted to the right of
citizenship only after he can be shown
to be the peer of any common laborer
In his familiarity with the practical du-
ties of citizenship, and gives bonds for
his fidelity to its com monest demands.
"How many others in the same case"
Massachusetts institutions have pro-
duced, would depend probably on the
locality of inquiry. Around Boston,
whose institutions have developed such
monstrosity in citizenship, or around
Springfield which furnishes the con-
stituency of the Springfield Republican,
Mr.. Adams might find many compan-
ions in civic infamy. The State OF
Adams and Hoar is fit region for po-
litical missionary labor. Even the
Filipinos, or Mr.. Hoar's Kohinoor
among statesman, Aguinaldo, could
instruct citizens of the Adams type.
