THE CO-0PTPATJON OF GOMEZ.

The promised cooperation of General Gomez
will be Of great assistance in the pacification
and rehabilitation Of Cuba. A prime requisite
IN stable government and industrial progress
IS the disarmament of the insurgent forces.
The soldiers must go back to their farms ana
workshops Camp life must give way to hum
drum oCcuDatiOls. Bodies Of armed men who
are not enemies Of the existing order. hut yet
are not lis friends. must go out Of existence
The Cuban people must accept in good faith
the aid they 50 pcrSStenty sought, and with
il the temporary tutclage which must be eXer-
c'scd both for their sake and to fulfil the obi
cation which the United States assumed TO the
nations when il destroyed the old recognized
Government.
II is perhaps natural that Cuban ambition and
cagerness and the inevitable lack of under
standing between different races should make
Gomez and his soldiers somewhat slow TO real
izc how necessary this stage Of growth is 10
the establishment of their full nationality.
Rut at last they have come TO understand ii,
and Gomez has agreed 10 cooperate fully in the
work which the United States has undertaken.
In so doing. Of course. he withdrawS the cx-
traordnary demand for SJ7.000.0O0 for the pay
ment Of his troops That could only have been
made in utter misunderstanding Of the pur-
noses OF the United States and the nature of
its control. II was nothing else than a notice
that Gomez did not mean TO be concatory,
either because he did not recognize the pro-
prlciy Of our occupation, or else because he
sought selfish advantage for himself and his
followers. His withdrawal of the demand on
understanding the situation better shows that
he was not unpatriotic ard graspng but I'M
enlightened lie evidently now understands
that the payment Of his 1900 odd officers and
10000 men for their full term Of service in be-
half Of Cuban liberty is not duty or proper
power Of the reScuer Of the island He ac-
cents the S3.OOOOOO offered by our Government
simply as a relief of suffering and an aid in
getting the people 30 work. not as the salts
faction or partial satisfaction of claims
The United States could not indeed in JUS
tlce TO Cuba attempt 10 satisfy such claims.
When The Cuban people are able 10 govern
themselves il is for them 10 say how many
hundred generals and how many thousand cor
morals are entitled TO compensation. The United
States has no more reason for paying the Gu
ban Army than for paying the bonds issued by
the Cuban Junta The Cubans may make these
PAYMENTS # they will when they are in posi-
ton 10 pass on such things. But a guardian
is restricted in the he may justly make OF
the funds which he holds for the ward. We
may properly spend Cuban revenues TO stamp
out disease in Cuba and prepare it for cred

The result Of last falls elections put il within
the power of the Republicans of this Nation
10 secure a strong majority In the senate a1ter
March 4 next which should enable the Ad-
ministration 10 fulfil the mission whereunto II
was sent without embarrassing delays ana
without the need Of bargaining or compro-
missing with any opposition faction. That fact
was one of the features of the elections which
caused most rejoicing and congratulaton. Ii

some States the Republicans of the LegiSlat-

whether II is to he attained or not And they
are actually putting IT in peril of serious I'M

last fall. either by letting a Democrat slip IN
or by letting the scat remain vacant Before
another week ends every Senatorial contest
should be ended.
But every one should be ended right. That
too. is the example set by the Republicans OF
Washington. They have not only elected
man. They have elected a worthy man. Ana
we need not hesitate to say that the latter duty
is even greater than the former. Desirable as
il is for every seat 10 be filed. it would be
better 10 leave one of them empty than to Ill

SON will replace Herr Sauer She did so yesterday
afternoon at the public rehearsal, playing Schu-

was made unexpectedly, Herr SaUer being seized
with an attack Of influenza. which sent him TO bed
after his recital on Thursday afternoon Indeed
he Is said to have PLACED the recital while in
