OIney and Cuba.

The following from the Chicago
Journal is solid, sound and to the
point: I'VE do not like to contribute
discordant note to the hymns of
praise that are being raised on all
sides over the emergence OF Hon.
Richard Olney from his long retire
ment and the sum mary of his views
on ublic questions that he has made
pu bile through the Atlantic Monthly.
Mr.. OIney was the ablest member of
Mr. Cleveland's second cabinet. He
is the putative inventor of the Olney
doctrine, a considerable Improvement
on the work of the late Mr.. Monroe,
and in order to crowd it down the
reluctant oesophagus of Lord Sails
bury nearly dragged this country into
war that would have made our re-
cent difficulty with Spain look like a
o'clock tea. His bold diplomacy
was a grand thing for the United
States, in view of its lucky outcome.
But Mr.. 0lney embraces in his sched-
ule of things he believes a declaration
regarding Cuba that will not tend to
make the Cubans love him, and that
should stamp him as a dangerous man
ever to be Entrusted with the moral
guidance of this country. He declares
the resolution promising Cuba ulti-
mate independence to be ill-advised
aud futile and with Machiavelian
GOODNESS, or the moral obliquity of a
man who is willing to put the respon-
sibIlity for the national misconduct
on destiny, he suggests its repudia-
ton. Ill-advised the Cuban resolu-
ton may have been. Whether it shall
prove futile or not depends on the
moral fiber of the American nation.
But ii is 4 sinister, evil thing to de-
clare now that it was futile, or to lend
influence toward making it so. There
is something in an old book about the
man who 'swears to his hurt and
ehangeth not If we have sworn to
our hurt in the Cuban case let's act
an honorable part and stick to it.
There can not be one standard of hon
esty for man and another for ma
ton. A people is either honest or
dishonest. and it can't ret out of the
dilemma by vague congratulations on
destiny
IF the Cubans wish to come to Us,
well and good. Probably they would
be received with open arms. We are
not behaving just ut present in a way
to make any people desire annexation,
but the Porto Rican bill has not
reached the supreme court yet, and
there NAV be a difference when it does.
But to ignore the pledge made by con-
gress in regard to Cuba, to break our
promise and annex the island against
the will of its people, would be to
present the world spectacle of ma
tional periidy and dishonor that would
Justify the harshest charges ever made
against US by our bitterest enemies.
Better lose Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines than that. better get
back into our shell and cease trying
to be world-power than begin the
new national career by violating the
obligations of honor and good faith. -

ernor General Davis, of the Porto
Rico commission, and of Secretary of
War Root. 1t was imbedded in Presi-
dent Mckinley's message OF last De-
Gem Der in words that met with in
slant approval throughout the union.
1t seems little short of providential
that the common will of 10000, 900
Americans to less than million Porto
Rieans should have found such simple
yet imperishable expression in the
verv heart of a state document over
20, 900 words long. But there it is
telling US our plain duty in sent
ence that cannot and will not down.
"How came it that the president,
moved by the same impulse that yet
sways the vast majority of his fellow
country men, has permitted himself
to lend his influence to the preparation
of political blunder that has sent a
shudder of apprehension throughout
the union? 1t is a question that is
being asked in every hamlet and home
in the United States, and upon its an
swer depends more than was dreamed
of in the mysterious meeting from
which the Porto Rico bill came with
out father and without a sponsor
who would give to it his name. To
this day no man has acknowledged the
paternity of the bill, which, like a
veritable apple of discord, threatens
to bring disruption to great party"
1t may be that there are in the re-
publican party those so weak and
subservient that they cannot differ
with the president no matter how far
he stultifes himself or his party, and
above all to what an extent he imper-
lis the nations good name, but the
maiority of the party, even on the
eve of a presidential campaign, are
broad enough and patriotic enough
to denounce a national wrong and a
national shame.

CLEVELAND, it is said. was the only
president vino rode in four inaugural
professions. His first was when he
rode with Arthur for his first inaug-
uration. The second was when he
rode with Harrison for the latter's
Inauguration. The third was when
Harrison rode with him for Cleve-
lands Inauguration. The fourth was
when Cleveland rode with Mckinley
for the latter's Inauguration. Grant
rode in three inaugural professions,
and that was the record until Cleve-
lands time.

OUR DUTY TO PORTO RICO.
From President McKInIey's Mes
sage to Congress.D

Since the ces5ion Porto Rico has
been denied the principal markets she
had long enjoyed. and our tariffs
have been continued against her pro-
ducts as when she was under Spanish
sovereignty. The markets OF Spain
are closed to her products except upon
terms TO which the commerce OF ali
nations is subjected. The island OF
Cuba, which used to buy her cattle and
tobacco without custom duties, now
imposes the same duties upon these
products as from any other country en-
teTing her ports. She has, therefore.
lost her free Intercourse with Spain
and Cuba, without any compensating
benefits in this market. Her coffee was
little known and not IN use By our peo-
pc. and, therefore there was no de-
mand he for this one of her chief pro-
ducts. The markets of the United
States should be opened up TO her
products.
.'Our plain duty IL to abolish all
customs tariffs between the United
States and Porto Rico, and give her
products free access to our mar
kets.'
