Plat Amrndmrn, Defined.

During the conferences between Sec
retary Root and the Cuban commits
sion the secretary wrote n letter to
Senator Platt of Connecticut, who in
troduced the Plat amendment, asking
his views relative to Intervention as
mentioned in the third clause of the
amendment. Senator Platt replied and
mission, confdentinlly, by the secre-
tary of war and was Incorporated into
and made n part of the acceptance of
the Platt amendment by the constitu-
tional convention.
The letter, however, appeared in n
Havana paper, and was made public
by the war department. 1t says:
II am in receipt of your letter of
this date, in which you say that the
members of the commission of the
Cuban constitutional convention fear
that the provisions relative to inter-
vention in the third clause of the
amendment, which has come to bear
my name, may have the effect of pre-

in reality establish n protectorate or
suZerainty by the United States, and
you request that l express my views
of the questions raised.
"In reply l beg to state that the
amendment was carefully prepared
with the object of avoiding any pos
sible idea that by the acceptance there
of the constitutional convention
would thereby establish protector
ate or suzerainty, or in any manner
whatsoever compromise the indepen-
dence or sovereignty of Cuba; and,
speaking for myself, it seems impos-
sible that such an Interpretation can
be given TO the clause. believe that
the amendment should be considered
as n whole, and it ought to be clear
on reading that the weli-defined pur-
pose is to secure and safeguard Cuban
independence, and set forth at once
n clear idea of the friendly disposition
of the United States toward the Gu
ban people and the express intention
on their part to aid them, IL necessary,
in the maintenance of said indepen.
dence. These are my ideas, and, al.
though, as you say, l can not speak
for the entire Congress, my belief Is
that such purpose was well under.

Democracy vs.. Supreme cour.

For some days we have been pub
fishing opinions Of the decision Of the
Supreme Court in the insular cases.
taken from the newspapers Of all
shades of political opinion.
1t is remarkable in perusing the
comments of the papers on this partic-
ular decision to see how those opinions
are colored by the preconceived views
of the writers, and how general the
disposition is on the part of the Dem
ocratic papers to attempt to reverse
the verdict. 1t Is curious illustration
of the Democratic habit of being un-
able to recognize an accomplished fact
until several years after the accom-
plishment. Somehow they always
seem, to be riding backwards in the
car of progress, and looking out of the
rear window.
the court ought to have decided these
cases cne way or the other. They
have been decided. and the decision
is now part of the law of the land
and binding on the executive and leg
islative departments of the govern
ment and upon all the citizens of the
United States.
If the Democrats want the decision
reversed, there is just one way to do
1t; elect n President and Congress
pledged to reversal, and pledged to
pack the court with that end in
view. This is the practical thing to
do. If the Democrats mean business,
let them announce this clearly and
uDm:stakably as their platform. We
have little doubt that the Republicans
would be willing to go before the peo-
pie on this issue, and to make it the
main issue of the next campaigu.--

II II reported from Havana that the
Cuban convention will not adopt the
Piatt amendments without such moii.
ucations and alterations rs have al
ready led our executive department 10
reject the Cuban constitution.
II is TO be hoped that the conyen.
tion will adopt sensible course. and
adopt the suggestions of our Congress,
but IL they do not choose to do SO,
they need not. They do not seem to
understand that these suggestions are
binding on the executive and that the
question before the President and his
advisers Is not whether they shall ac'
ccpt the Cuban constitution. but
whether that instrument is in ac-
cord with the directions already given
by our Congress.
The result OF rejection OF the
amendments would be the postpone
ment Of Cuban independence for u
long time. and the continuance Of mill
tary rule in the island by the forces
OF the United States. This country ID
responsible for the maintenance OF
law and order In Cuba. and II has a
right to lay down the conditions which
Il thinks necessary to insure the pres
ervation OF law nnd order. and OF tho
public health. II the Cubans do not
want TO BE- free. in the way that our
Congress prcscribcs, they can remain
under our military government until
they set ready to accept our eondi'
tions.

Of their just expectations under our

We have had good opportunity to
study the temper aud capacity OF tho
Cubans and their political leaders since
the close OF the war that freed them
from Spain They are disappointing in
many ways. Their behavior has not
served TO create confidence In their ca
pacity TO govern and control the island
wisely and for the welfare OF its pe-o-
pie. II has not by any means allayed
the apprehension that by their unslead.
mess. and unwisdom they may make
much trouble for US. practically re-
storing the conditions which we sought
TO put an end TO by the war with
Spain. The incredible childishness OF
their proceedings in respect to the
Piatt amendment. especially In the
preparation Of the astonishing adden.
dun To their constitution. creates the
sravest doubt OF their ability TO set
up az once and maintain u safe goy-
ernment.
The President would be chnr.cable
with holding his responsibilities light

and Immediately turn the island over
