THE CUBAN STEAL.

In removing Mr. Rathbone, late of
the Cuban postal service, Postmaster
General Smith says he is very sorry
to lose the enterprising official who
had large hand in the looting of ev-
erything movable in the island Doubt
less this is true, for Rathbone had the
true Republican-carpet-bag instinct
and considered Cubans fair game. Just
as the Republican office-holders in this
country in reconstruction terms held to
the idea that everything left over
from the war in the South was their
meat. Rathbone, Nicely, and the rest
of the Cuban hooters will doubtless be
regretted by the administration, but
the indications are that pubic opin-
ion will not only force conviction for
their crimes, but the government may
have to make good out of the public
treasury the pickings and steaIings"
which fell into the pockets of the con-
spirators.

MIR. sIcGREGoR inflated,

We all remember the great act of
President McGregor, of the Board OF
Commissioners, III casting two votes
in that body, one as a member of the
Board, on roll call, and the other as
President of the Board, when tie re-
suited from the vote, which stood five
to five, the body consisting of ten
members. Mr. McGregor maintaine1
the claim that ten members could cast
eleven votes, two falling to his share,
and he carried his point.
President Maxwell, has followed the
illustrious example of the Madison dis
trict statesman. At Tuesdays session
OF the Council he cast one
vote when his name was call
ed on the motion to adjourn. The
result was twelve to twelve Then he
cast a second vote as presiding officer,
and declared the session adjourned, al
though the motion had been lost on a
tie. Mr.. Maxwell is an expert presid-
ing officer, and has the manuels of
Cushing and Roberts at his fingers
ends He is familiar with Parliament
tary rules and proceedings, and he is
well aware that in deliberatiye and
legislative bodies members nave but
one vote. 1t was grounding case"
with Mr.. Maxwell, however, just as it
was with Mr.. McGregor and in cases
of emergency necessity knows no law
What is wrong with Council? Is it
agraid to face the music it has itself
composed? The Committee on Petit
tons and Remonstrances was ready to
report on saloon licenses. There prob
ably was a resolution in a certain
members pocket, dealing with the ru-
mors of bribery and the charges of at
tempted bribery, and addressed to the
Judge of the Criminal Court and the
coming grand jury. Is Council afraid
of the situation? Is it possible that a
majority of that body does not dare
to take vote on the license question,
and shrinks from a possible in
vestigation of public acts by a
picked sworn and charged Jury
and that two votes cast by
one man is the only way out of
temporary trouble? This may not be
true, but things look that way

and of right, declined to be dictated
to- Hence the war, and England's
determination to crush by might
countries which were determined to
stand for right
Bring the case home to ourselves.
We exclude Chinese, and deny them the
rights of citizenship. That is our
right and privilege. But suppose the
swarming Chinese nation had a
navy as great as that of England, and
would say to us: "You must admit
our people to your country upon the
same terms as others, and admit them
to citizenship in two years instead of
your present law of five, and if you
don't agree to this at once, we will
proceed to invade your country,
and annex the United States to the
Chinese empire That would be a
pretty bad state of affairs, but it would
be exactly what England told the Boer
republics. 1t is wrong; it is might
against right; it is the triumph OF in
justice over justice; it is Empire
strangling Freedom; it is crime
and yet Republican papers, like the
Intelligencer and the Cleveland Lead
er, tell us that "the whole sympathy
business" is for political effect
Have Republicans became imperialists
at heart, that they should rail and jibe
and jeer and mouth at voices raised
in the cause of freedom, liberty and
the right of self government?
There is another sentence in the
Leaders article which deserves atten-
ton. 1t is the concluding statement
that: "The main object is to make it
appear that the President is foe to
freedom" Well, isn't he? His policy
in Porto Rico has firm grasp on Cuba,
his war in the Philippines, and the
consistent denunciation of any criti
cism of these things show a distinct
tendency away from freedom and in
the direction of other things.
The people are thinking over these
matters pretty seriously this year.

Washington Post
The announcement that the regular De-
mocracy will not recognize the Populist
nomination at Sioux Falls of Hon. Chas.
A. Towne for Vice President on the Bry-
an ticket, opens up the very widest range
OF speculation. 1t suggests in the first
place that the Democratic leaders have
finally come to their senses and are now
determined to conduct the campaign upon
straightout party lines. 1t suggests, also.
the idea that the leaders intend to make
their fight on the bold, but conservative
issues, defined, long years ago, by JEFF
ferson and Jackson-issues which hun
dreds of thousands of patriotic voters
will enthusiastically advocate and all the
more so because the crazy and fanatical
and feather headed vasaries of Populism
have been repudiated.
Not being in the confidence of the Dem
ocratic chieftains and having, therefore,
to construct our theories entirely by infer
ence, we may possibly have taken a too
roseate view of the party's prospects.
We venture to believe, however, that
present indications point to a new and
more wholesome departure in Democratic
policy. If it be true that they are cut
llllS lOOSe from the raise SOuS ana mis-
leading chimeras of the past few years,
the chances all are that the Democracy
are on the eve of complete reaction.
The chances are that they propose to di-
vest themselves of the hitherto fatal
handicap of Populism and to make their
fight on the broad policies and principles
handed down to them by their fathers.
In other words. they seem likely to make
simple and straightforward Democratic
fight, conceding nothing for the purpose
of alliances and standing squarely on the
ground long ago defined and limited by
the great men of the nation.
If we be warranted in this hypothesis,
and if the leaders seriously intend to
carry out the policy they now seem to
have adopted, the campaign will soon be-
come as interesting as it promises to be
close and desperate. Naturally, there
will be radical and sweeping changes in
the personnel of the management. Natur-
ally the controlling committee will be re-
constructed from top to bottom. There
will be a working force of virile and zeal
Gus energy and a chairman in tune with
the ideas of the time-a man of vigor
and of intellect, who has forgotten much
and learned much since 1S96-the very an
tithesis of the Bourbon and the barnacle
In our opinion, the Democracy never
had a better opportunity or a more hope
full prospect. Everything depends upon
the courage and intelligence with which
they handle the situation.

Handwriting Experts.

Boston Herald
The handwriting experts met another
bad setback in the case of a man who
has just been pardoned out of the Georgia
penitentiary by President Mckinley, and
who had been convicted of the crime OF
sending Objectionable matter through the
mails. 1t appears that this man was con
victed by the testimony of two handwrit-
ing experts, and, after he was sent to
the penitentiary, the Objectionable let
ters continued 20 pass through the mails
in the same handwriting. Finally the po-
lice arrested another man, and he was
convicted on the same expert testimony.
The attorney general, in commenting on
handwriting expert testimony in this case,
points out how absolutely unreliable the
deductions of these experts may be, and
the injustice of depending upon such evil
dence in convcting suspected persons.
His point would seem to be we'll taken,
and it might be made to cover other kinds
of expert testimony than that relating to
the subject of handwriting.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Acting under the terms of franchises
granted by it, the London municipal
Council has just decided to dispossess
local tramway companies of franchises
extending over about twenty miles of
streets, and to add this extent of road
to that already run and managed by
the city. This is in line with a policy
ultimately intended to include all the
street car lines of the metropolis, which
are to be run by the public in the name
of and for the benefit of the public.
This is distinctly the tendency of the
times. The granting of public privi-
leges of this sort to private corpora
lions isn't good thing. 1t results in
bad service, high fares, strikes, injunc-
lions. riots, and public inconvenience.
The experiences of Brooklyn, Cleve-
land, Pittsburgh St. Louis, Wheeling,
and many other cities indicate decid-
edly that the present system does not
serve the public best. Municipal own
ership is a growing idea. both in Amer
