4 LESSON FROM CUBA.

There will be no slight compensation for the
Cuban postoffice frauds if the lesson which the
misera BILE business offers is taken to heart by
the public officials of the United States in every
department of the Government. There may pos
sibly be some persons TO whom breach OF trust
in the performance of duties imposed upon this
Nation in consequence of the war with Spain
affords a despicable sort of satisfaction but
nothing is more certain than that practically all
the people are keenly sensitive TO every such
reproach and intensely desirous that the public
service. wherever we are responsible for its
extension. shall be- in its organizati ation and all
its operations, model for the world.
That fact has been Enthusiastically revealed as
often as a conSpicuously excellent appointment
to office beyond our borders under the Govern
ment OF the United States has been made. The
depth of this Solictude for the honor and credit
of the country and the welfare of its dependen-
cies is now clearly shown in the painful sen
sation which the defalcation in Cuba has uni
versaly produced. No similar occurrence at
home would have aroused one-half so much
interest or inspired onehalf so strong desire to
make the punishment fit the crime And since
the swindle charged against Neely and his CON
federates is commonly denounced as natural
result of favoritism in the selection of men for
important places in the Cuban postal service,
this state of feeling should be interpreted an
emphatic warning to all in authority that the
American people will not tolerate the spoils
system, so far al least as their extracontinental
responsibility extends Our firm belief is that
only very few of them feel any sympathy with
those who still advocate or apologize for the
maintenance of that system on this continent,
and the feeble minority dwindle to virtually
nothing at the first suggestion of permitting it
to gain foothod elsewhere under our juris
diction
1t follows, therefore, that not only every
requirement of duty but every consideration of
political policy forbids the appointment of men
TO Office in our dependencies after the fashion in
which Neely was appointed. Eager efforts to
shift the blame from shoulder TO another
prove that he got the place merely because he
was a person for whom politicians wanted Ito
do something" The fact that nobody is willing
to be held responsible for his selection shows
inconvenient to avOw, and there is good cause
to fear that he is by means the only true
exponent of the spoilS system in the Cuban
pOstoffice The scandal is a grievous yet per-
haps salutary reminder that there is no con-
ceivable possibility of preserving our National
credit and safety. in dealing with mOmentous
problems which cannot avoid except through
the purest and ablest civil service that the most
rigorous tests of character and capacity can
provide. Only by taking this course can the
Nation expect or deserve to escape great disas-
tcrs and win great reward.
New-York tribune., 1900-05-12

pendent then her Government must be left to
submit defend itself as best ii can. But the
United States cannot in honor leave defenceless
the people 1t has made free. nor can it in honor
refuse to foreign Governments opportunity to
enforce any just demands.
Mr.. Bryan. If President, would be compelled
10 show what he meant. If he requires Cuba to
do justice, what does Cuban independence
mean? If he leaves foreign Powers to deal
with Cuba, what does protection mean? If he
defends an incompetent Government in refusing
just demands. he has next to ask the people to
uphold him in foreign war without trace of
justice The people would demand that justice
be done, matter what becomes of the Cuban
Government Mr. Bryan would have TO force it,
morally or physically, to undertake the payment
of just demands and 10 see that Cuban laws
were so framed and so enforced as to meet
them. But Americans are far too practical to
tolerate that sort of nonsense. If they are to
have all the risk and loss and care and respons-
bility they will not shoulder the additional en-
barTassment of treating the dependency if it
were an independent Power
President Mckinley has not tied his
hands and feet by attempts to decide before
hand how far the inhabitants of Cuba or the
Philippines will be found capable of self-gov-
erpment If they show much capacity in that
direction. so much the better. But the tHlieu
States cannot give the people faculties they do
not possess nor training In self-direction
which they have never enjoyed any opportunity
to acquire. Annexation, in the sense commonly
understood probably is not desired by one
American out of ffty;-practically no rational
person seriously wishes the inhabitants of the
island to take any part in governing this
country. But if while in the possession of the
United States these inhabitants can be edu-
Gated to such capacity for self-government that
the Union will be relieved from the care and
vexation of adjusting local interests and laws
to elements unknown in this country, that will
be we'll provided nobody except irresponsibles
like Mr. Bryan imagnes that local self-govern-
ment is independence.

BIT OF BRITISH-BOER HISTORY.

Lord Salisbury. in his Primrose League speech
of Wednesday, did thing which must always
be done with reluctance, but which is sometimes
peedful to be done. He called into criticism, at
least by direct suggestion, the personal policy
pursued by a great statesman who is now
beyond the power of answering in self-defence.
1t was needful TO do this because proper
understanding of the South African war, and of
the incidents which led up to it, is possible
without taking Mr.. Gladstone's conduct toward
the Transvaal into consideration; and when it is
thus taken into consideration unfavorable criti
cism is not only Legitimate. but. we imagine, to
the majority of people, inevitable. The brief
story of that unhappy policy is this:
Mr.. Gladstone was in opposition at the time
OF the annexation Of the Transvaal in 1877 He
did not approve that act, but on the contrary.
vigorously condemned il. This condemnation
was continued with increasing emphasis when
the Beers began to agitate for an undoing of
the annexation and to conspire for a revolt
against it. In fact. it was Mr.. Gladstone's advo-
cacy of their cause that largely encoura ged
Messrs. Kriiger and Joubert to raise the stand
ard of revolt. In his famous Midlothian cam
paign in the spring of 1880, Mr.. Gladstone spoke
vigorously in favor of undoing the annexation
and practically pledged himself to such undong

becoming Prime Minister TO declare that
the annexation should not be undone That fat
and unexplained reputation of his utterances of
a few weeks before infuriated the Beers who
saw in it an indication that British promises
| were not TO be relied upon, and melted them TO
the extreme measure of taking up arms. Mr.
Gladstone maintained this attitude for less than
a year. and then. Immediately after the disaster
at Majuba Hill. reversed himself as suddenly
and as inexplicably as before The autonomy
which he had at first promised TO the Beers
and which he had next denied to them when
they asked il in peace and as matter of
alleged justice, he now granted to them as the
result of a disaster to British arms. Naturally

British as treecherOus and false now regarded
