CIVIL GOVERNMENT FOR OUBA,

1t is now generally understood that civil
government will be substituted for military
government in Cuba at quite an early date.
Indeed one Of the subjects of liveiest specu.
lation at the National Capital is as TO who
will be the first civil Governor of the Island
1t was supposed at one time that General
Brooke, who made fairly good Military
Governor, would receive the honor, but, for
some reason or other, Brooke does not ap
pear to be in high favor at Washington.
His friends have given it out in his behalf
that, on account oil his health which has not
been good for the last six months, he will
be glad 10 resign his present position and
return home, but others, equally we'll in.
formed, assert that the reason for his being
passed over is that he is OF cold and IN.
sympathetic nature, and far too despotlc in
his manner TO make an acceptable Civil
Governor.
The probabilities are, that 1t will be one OF
the four department commanders-Lee, Will
son, Ludlow and Wood-who will be pro-
NOTED TO the high honor. Each one Of the
four has worked with immense success
and with acceptance TO the Cubans, and
which ever one Of the four will be chosen
will surely prove TO be a good Governor.
Other things being equal, Lee ought to
have the best chance for the position, for,
owing to his long residence as United States
Consul General 10 the island and the able
way In which he performed the duties Of
that office, in addition to his acting for o
year as Military Governor Of the province
Of Havana, he is probably more familiar
with the country and the people and the
needs OF both than any one Of his military
confreres. The administration has, however
been careful TO keep General Lee in the
background ever since the commencement
of the war with Spain, not allowing him to
go out OF the country to fight, and giving
him the go-by for Brooke who had no pre-
vious knowledge of either Cuba or the
Cubans.
OF course, under a Civil Governor, the
military would be subordinate 10 the civil
authority, but, as the department command.
ers generally, and General Ludlow in Ha-
vana have made it their constant aim and
practice to keep the military out Of sight as
much as possible and TO settle all troubles
as they have arisen through the efforts Of
the native police, the difference between
the military and civil government would
not be very perceptible
With the opportunity now 10 be offered the
Cubans, that Of practiclng selfgovernment
we have no doubt they will in short time
perfect them in the noblest Of all aims-the
aim OF governing themselves well.

EXCL UsION or CHINESE FROM
TIE PHILIPPINES.

A very important matter which is being
pressed for settlement at Washington, is
the question of the exclusion of the Chinese
from the Philippines.
General Otis, some time alter his acces.
sion to the Governor. Generalship of the Phil
ippines, applied to the islands the laws
which are based on the treaty of 1880 with
China, excluding Chinese immigration from
the United States.
Under Spanish rule in the Philippines,
the Chinese were permitted 10 come with
out restraint, and they have been coming
freely until, with their characteristic indus
try and thrift, they have got possession OF
much of the business of the island. Such
was the situation there when General Otis
shut down on Chinese immigr alton. This
edict of the Military Governor of the Phil.
ippines has produced great dissatisfaction
in the Chinese government, which is al.
ways DESTROYS of finding outlets for It's
overcrowded population, and already the
matter has been brought up at Washing
ton. Now that the United States Govern
ment is asking lavors of China, in the way
way of open ports for commerce, and the
Great Republic is going into European and
Asiatic complications, the exclusion Of the
Chinese from the East Indian and West In.
dian territory bids fair to make no little
trouble.
The Chinese have one resource in the
premises. But very small part Of the Phil.
ippine territory is under American control,
and 1t is now and may for some time be in
the power OF the yellow people to flock to
the island without any danger of being in
fered with by the American authorities
Nevertheless, the matter is one for inLerna-
tional discu ssion, which cannot be shirked

years Tor laying cable across the Pacific

cost much over ten millions the terms are
not unduly unfavorable TO the company.
1t is proposed that the Government shall
send its messages free Of charge for twenty
years and thereafter pay half rates On
private messages existing rates would be
cut in two-be reduced to 81 to Manila

Government finds In the Pacific a noun

The route is deemed practicable one. The

THE SITUA TION IN EUROPE

Since the confident announcement OF Lord
Salisbury, some days ago, in his speech at
the Lords Mayors dinner, that no interior.
ence on the part of any outside power was
to be feared, either during the progress OF
the war in South Africa or at its termina.
ton, there has been much less talk Of posi-
bic hostile combinations OF European powers
against Great Britain.
1t is now evident If there is to be interior.
ence at all, or even obstacles placed in the
way OF British South-Africsn policy, France
and Russia will DO the only powers con.
cerned Germany has made it clear that
she will remain strictly neutral, while the
attitude OF Italy and Austria has never been
called into question.
While this good understanding between
Germany and England greatly weakens the
prospect of a coalition among the continent
tai powers hostile to Great Britain, there is
no Disgusting the fact that Russia and
France arc decidedly unfriendly to British
interests, and would be glad of an opportu
nifty to embarrass the British government.
There are more or less COLLECTING statements
as TO the mobilization of the French and
Russian fleets, of Russis's advance into AT.
ghanistan, and OF France reinforcing her
troops and squadron In the far East, but
these rumors rather voice the dissatisfaction
of the two powers mentioned with the sue
cess of the British government in patching
up an agreement with Germany than any
actual intention Of making trouble.
One of the strongest guarantees that Rus
STA will keep the peace is to be found In the
constant preparations Of japan for war II
is no secret that sooner or later, Japan will
call Russia TO account for her course In rob.
bling the Japanese of tho fruits Of their vic
tory over China, several years ago.
A careful study of the European situation
therefore, warrants the belief that Engia
will be allowed TO pursue her policy In
South Africa undisturbed by any influence
beyond such as the Beers are able to exer
through their own unaided efforts So fal
they have successfully COPIED with the British
power, but the most sanguine of their friend,
fail to see any other final outcome but de.
feat and amalgamation with the British
Empire.

The Filipino junta at Hong Hong admits
that the demonstration at Manila was

Political CoWardice.


The children of the state promise to be-
come the victims of case of political cow
ardice that has scarcely ever been equalled
In the history of politics. Politicians rare
ly have the courage of their convictions at
any time, and when rates of taxation are
concerned they become moral towards at
once. That is what is the matter in the
effort to give the children who desire to at
tend the common schools the advantage of
a term of six months long. The effort of
Representative Buger, of Tallapoosa, was
the only courageous attempt that has been
made to provide a six-moths' term in the
common schools of the state.
The people of Alabama who desire to
avoid the disgrace that awaits them as soon
as the educational affairs of North Carolina
are placed on better footing; who desire
strong, taught to read and write and
cipher, should awake to the fact that the
mere appropriation of given sum, no mat
ter how large, is but declaratory resolu-
Such an appropriation invites veto or
deficiency in the treasury. Such an appro-
priation when followed by refusals to in
crease the revenue of the state is an insult
to the intelligence of the state. The Age
Herald warns the politicians who contrived
the scheme that such trifing with the peo-
pie will be resented as surely as the 10000
children in the state go untaught during the
next two years.
These politicians will awake to the fact
that while they can fool some of the people
some of the time, they cannot fool all of the
people all of the time. The people of Ala
bama are deeply and thoroughly in earnest
in desiring better schools and a term six
months long-such schools, in a word, as
tho people of Georgia or Mississippi have
such schools as the children of every other
state in the union, North Carolina alone ac-
cepted, enjoy.
To have the long-expected blessing car
ried to the lips in words and then dashed
away through the want of revenue, Is worse
in every respect than no effort at all. The
parents of Alabama may be patient, but in
this matter, involving as 1t does so many
promising lives, so many bright-faced child
rem, the tricksters will find they have
aroused a sleeping lon Every mans vote
on the revenue bill will be hunted up and
