ONE OF the Washington republican

newspapers says:
The republican managers are preparing to
materially increase the party's strength in
the House of Representatives ut the next
congressional election. The decision OF the
Supreme Court placing in Congress pIactl-
cally the absolute control Of all insular stfsirs
makes it question Of the first importance
that the republicans should not lose their
hold upon the lower house ia this formative
period. In some quarters 1t IS be-
lieved that the realization OF the absolute
necessity of controlling the House Will urge
the republicans to further cohsideration OF
the proposition to reduce the representation
in the House Of those scathern states that
have disfranchised the negro. II Will % re-
membered that the initial step in this direc-
ton was taken in the last Congress, but sDsn'
doned under pressure from high sources.
1t may be stated suthoritstively that the re-
publican congressional committee will take
up the case for consideration next winter and
there will be some important conferences
among the leaders. Under the new sppor.
tionment, the southern states get 137 seats in
the House of Representatives and 81 Of them
are apportOned on the colored population
that either has been or will be disfIsnchised.
This situation, In the eyes OF some Of the re-
publican leaders, 10 intoleYsble, and they pro-
pose to take steps to bring 1t to the attention
OF the party.
Now this is an open svowsl OF the
intention of the republican leaders to
throttle the South and 1t Ia certain
that they will resort to every means in
their power to carry out their plan. In
some Of the northern States capitation
taxes and other. restrictions upon suf-
frage distrsnchise almost as many
voters as do the constitutional enact
ments In the southern States, but no at
tempt is made to reduce the oonsres.
sionsl representation in the north to
conform with the voting population.
No, but laws which would not be con-
sidered for a moment in the North will
be, II possible, forced upon the South and
this alone is sufficient to arouse every
southern man and northern democrat
to put forth their every effort to pre-
vent the success of the attempt OF the
republican party to reduce the South's
representation in the House OF Repre-

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 8. 1901

TT WAS SAID In these columns re-
Gently that II the republican admins
tra,ion would state definitely that this
government intends holding Cuba, as
all sensible people have known from
the frat that 1t will do, then would the
Cobans the more quickly accept the in
eyitable. That this government is pre-
pairing to make this announcement Is
shown By the following from the Phila'
delphia North American, one OF the or.
esns OF the administration. Itssys:
The outright refusal Of the Cabinet 10 &C
can't the Cuban Constitution a. finally pre-
nared by the Havaps convention brings the
ghole issue down TO question Of pure force.

cannot stop half way. II little FORCE uoes

mat nae moro. or confess our failure. 1t 10
plsin that the administration proposes TO take
no step backward Nothing remains, then
but TO issue peremptory orders to the conven-
ton to accept the Plat amendment, with no
conditions. IL IL still stands out for its rights
il must be sent home in disgrace ana more

General in the island took the procaution 10

thst they are free TO set up their own govern
ment. eyen IL they are no stronger than the
Cubans. unless we are prepared to accept all
the conse quences of our generosity. Sooner
or later we are apt to find it necessary to re-
sort to brutal methods toward our conhding
neiahbor 1t Is not merely that we excite bis
hatred, but Wv must in the end suffer in our
own esteem. That lie the point We have come
to in our treatment Of the Cubans.
II the above is not positive assurance
enough OF the intention of the govern
ment regarding Cuba, then the state
ment of a Cabinet officer made yester'
day evening, after the Cuban matter
had been discussed at the Cabinet
meeting, should dispel any doubt on
the subject, for be said, as stated In the
Gazette's Washington correspondence
of that day "All the municipal govern
ments we establish In Cubs will be
only military ones after all. II you
want to call it the establishment OF
civil rule there for the sake Of giving 1t
a nice sounding name you can do 90.
1t is military rule just the same and
will remain 30 for several years to come
in all probability. Congress placed the
islands under the Presidents direc-
ton and the only way he can manage
them is through the War department"
