Our Bill Against Cuba.

On behalf of the United States
the Chicago Inter Ocean has made
up an itemized account against
Cuba, covering the expense to which
this government has been put for
freeing the island.
1t figures that the war with Spain
added S277,381, ,523 to the naval and
military expenses of this country
between April, 1898, and June 80,
1899.
In addition there was paid
S3,O00,O00 to the soldiers of the
Cuban army, besides about a1O,O0O,-
600 for provisions and clothing with
which to feed and to cover the peo-
pie of the island.
The United States government
transported the Spanish army from
Cuba to Spain at its own expense.
1t has maintained on the island for
two years military government at
its own expense. 1t has modernized
Cuba's sanitary conditions, road
ways and public works. 1t has
established law and order, main
tanned peace, protected Cubans,
Spaniards and Americans and made
no complaint that the war which
freed Cuba cost it, all told, $780,
100000.
BY making this vast expenditure
the United States has been enabled
to reorganize the municipal and
general governments in Cuba, and
to render them practically self-sup-
porting 1t has improved the har-
bors, has repaired the old railroads
and has built now ones.
The 1nter-Occan would like to
know who is to pay this bill. If the
United States had gone to war
with Spain as cold business matter
a contract requiring Cuba to bear
the expense might have been drawn
up in advance. But this was not
the case.

Freedom OF Speech.

The South Carolina Legislature
acted wisely in refusing to consider
a resolution condemning the action
of United States Senator McLaurin
in making speech favoring the de-
ye!opment oe American shipping.
The attitude of Senator McLaurin
on a number of great national ques-
tions now before Congress has been
criticised in South Carolina. This
criticism has not prevented him from
doing what he is convinced will be
for the best interests of his State and
of his section. His position may
not accord with that of machine
politics. That does not imply that
he may not be acting as a statesman
instead of as politician. There is
this difference between statesman
and politician the latter looks to
immediate good for himself, the for
mer plans for the ultimate welfare of
his people. Naturally, the politician
opposes the statesman. But the
statesman has the assurance that
the grip of the politician upon the
people is weakening, and that the
day is not far distant when the peo-
pie will look for leadership to the
man who sees in Senatorial career
something moro than IN opportunity
for office Observation-Disclosures

An Outrage In Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, February 28.-Mrs.
G. A. Buchanan, who resides at 95
Spring street, in the heart of the
city and within two blocks of the
Governors mansion, was the victim
this morning of an outrage which
has caused much excitement in At
lanta. Mrs. Buchanan was com

by burly negro, to give him all the
money in the house and cook break.
fast for him. The negro then bound
Mrs. Buchanan to bed and set fire
to her clothes. Her screams brought
assistance and she was rescued before
being badly burned. About noon
Mrs. Buchanan relapsed into a coma
tose state and has been unable to
identify the assailant or recognize
her friends around the bedside. The
attending physicians consider her
condition critical. Intense excite
ment exists throughout the city and
should the negro be caught and
identified it is believed the greatest
police and military protection would
be necessary to protect him from
violence. Three or four negro men
have already been arrested and
placed in prison suspected of the
awful crime. AS soon as Mrs. Buch-
anan's condition will admit they will
be brought before her for Identified
ton.

Bachelor Hugh Wilson Talks.

The custom now is to say that
marriage is "solemnzed," and the
word seems out of place with all
that follows. The elaborate deco
rations, the floral bell, the way the
brdesmen skipped down the aisle
and "crosscd ovcr," the manner in
which the bridesmaids danced to-
wards the altar-arc all described
with very little variation. The
squeaking of the organ announces
the arrival of the twain that are to
be made metaphorically speak
ing. The preacher then administers
the obligation, pronouncing the
lovers man and woman, declares that
none but he who made thunder shall
ever put the loving pair asunder.

A Bill that Should be Vetoed.

"We do not HESITATE" says the Colum-
bia State, "to condemn the. passage of
the bill authorizing members of tho Log
islaturo to accept free passes from rail
roads as scandalous. In our judgment
it will result, and ought to result, in the
defeat of many members of tho present
General Assembly when they appear be-
fore the people seeking reelection. This
action was taken with eyes open to the
way in which grab for passes would bo
regarded by tho public and after ample
warning of the political poril of it's in
dulgonce. AS the case now stands, a
majority of the members of tho House
and Senate have voted themselves five
cents milo out Of the State Treasury
for railroad travel, whom their railroad
expenses to and from Columbia noed not
oxcceed three cents q mile; and in addi-
ton thoy havo repealed tho law which
has heretofore operated to prevent them
from legally accepting FREQ transporta-
tion from railroads. Those who voted
for this bill have shown their Willingness
to make the State pay thom for expenses
not actually incurred, and willingness
to put themselves under personal obliga-
tions to the railroad corporations upon
whom they must, as legislators, sit in
Judgment; and in tho manner of
their doing this thing they have, by i'm
plication, notified tho railroads that they
arc expected to furnish free transporta-
ton and may suffer for it if they fail to
do so. Looked at from any standpoint
it is most disgraceful proceeding, and
it will probably go far toward making
the issue of the next campaign ono of
