fectly proper for Congress to give the cue
for new declaration of intentions. But
nothing Of record of justifiable appre-
hension exists to suggest that the original
enunciation of principles toward Cuba COM

government. The process has been some
what slow, to be sure, but no slower than
the circumstances justified 1t has involved
many embarrassments, but probably fewer
than would have been the case had not this
government been generously tolerant of
Cuban prejudices wherever practicable

Governments are not made in a day. Hasty
work now might prove the greatest of ham
dicaps to Cuba's future prosperity and
peace Dealing with inflammable materials,
every step must be most carefully guarded
in the formative days. Cuba is losing moth
ing by waiting. Her revenues are being
more honestly collected and more carefully
expended than ever before, her provinces
are in state of more profound peace than
for many years. her industries are reviving
under the influence of good government,
the majority of her people are learning pa
thence and citizenship under American
guidance. An Incorporate outburst now on
the part of a self-seeking agtator might
harm the best interests of the island i'm
measurably. The best service the real
friends of Cuba can do her today is to
urge against all such incendiary, unrea-
sonable movements.

Gov TAYLOR of Kentucky is again at
home. within reach of the processes of the
state courts. and prepared to answer at the
proper time and in the proper way any
charges Of a criminal or other nature that
may be filed against him. There was never

National Issuen In Oregon.

An exciting state campaign is in prog
reSs in Oregon. and the election takes place
in June But the people are lining up on
national issues. and the result then OBJ
tained will forecast the result to be OBJ
tanned in the state next November
The Portland Oregonian, the leading re-
publican paper OF the state and one of the
abiest papers published west of the Missis-
sippi river, thus addresses the voters of
Oregon as TO their duty:
The way to sustain the gold standard
and sound finance, to uphold expansion and
to keep a check on the dangerous tenden-
cieS Of the democratic party which the in
dustry and business of the country so much
dread is to vote with the republican party
that Is. to vote for its candidates RAJ
tional men cannot expect results unless
they use the means necessary to obtain
them
This applies to the national situation as
we'll. When the nominations at PhiladeI-
phia and Kansas City have been made-and
they are practically as good as made now
the people of the country will find it neces-
sary to choose between them. There will
BE- no way around. The man who wants

publican administration will vote for Mr.
Mckinley. while the man who wants it all
undone, or is willing to take the risk of

Bryan
There are. 1t Is true, men who favor the
gold standard and expansion who are vet
trying to persuade themselves that those
two policies are 50 firmly fixed it would be
quite impossible for Mr.. Bryan to overturn
them They are willing to accept the fruits
of all that Mr.. Mckinley has done for the
country, but are unwilling to reward him
by an Endorsement at the polls 1t is not
the most cretiitable of attitudes, and 1t
seems to rest upon a most mistaken con-
ceptiOn OF the situation. If Mr. BRYAN is
brought in he will exercise great power as
President and be surrounded by men in
thorough sympathy with his views He
Will honestly endeavor to 50 shape affairs
as to pave the way for success sooner or
later of all that he represents And If he
wins this year he will stand for re-elec-
ton, and continue to carry forward. if re-
elected. all the work that he may have cut
out
The idea that a young and sincere and az
gressive man. as Mr.. Bryan is, can be
elected to the Office of President without
injury to the policies which he opposes. or
benefit to those he espouses, is SO novel as
to be positively funny

No Boer sympathy" in the Senate.

The Senate today refused to consider a
resolution of sympathy with the Beers.
There were 20 votes in favor of taking up
the resolution and 20 against 1t. This
margain of nine votes is wide enough TO
declare emphatically to the world that the
upper house of the American Congress has
no intention of interfering with England 5
process of regulating the affairs of South
Africa This declaration may be under
stood in even a broader sense. 1t may be
taken to mean that the United States gov
eminent does not regard the war In Africa
as calling for its comments, favorable or
unfavorable; that this republic does not
propose to allow itself to be drawn into
entanglements out Of sympathy or hatred
or as result of any desperate domestic
political maneuvering. The Senate has
adopted the course of wisdom and safety.
Had the vote been reversed the govern
ment to be sure. would not have been
pledged to Intervention, nor would the ex-
precision of sympathy have been broad
enough to embarrass the administration in
serious degree. But 1t would have been I'M
deniably in bad taste and possibly produc-
tive Of even greater evils in after years, for
so dangerous a precedent to be established.

A Record on Pensions.



The dispatches announce that the House
broke all records today by passing ninety
one private pension bills
After making every allowance, there Is a
recklessness on the part of Congress in
dealing with this subject that is most rep
rehensible. 1t seems impossible to make
congressman realize that 1t Is the people
money that is being spent in this way
money taken from the people in the shape
of taxes 1t is also true that under our
system the bulk of the taxes is paid by
poor people. or by those in moderate cir
cumstances. But the men who have the
power to make appropriations too frequent
ly regard themselves, not as trustees for
the people. but as attorneys for claimants
And the result is that those with special
interests are taken care Of while those
who are affected only in a general way are
forgotten. The only thing to be done is
to call attention to abuses; to insist that
special bills shall be considered by a quo
rum of the House; and to continue to de-
mand of Congress the strictest economy In
the expenditure Of the public money.

And gracious manners fair to see.
