cuss the proposal in all its bearings. The
offer is a munificent one, nc matter what
particular form it may assume or along
what lines it is contemplated by Mr.. Car
negie that his great endowment shall be
used. But it will hardly meet the I'M
qualified approval of the intelligent Amer
lean masses if It is designed either that
Mr.. Carnegie shall found a national uni
versity, to be conducted and controlled
by the national authorities or that the
feceral government should engage itself
Jointly with Mr.. Carnegie or any other
Individual in the maintenance of an edu-
cational institution to be known as a ma
tional university.
1t is to be hoped that the offer of Mr..
Carnegie will come in such form and be
of such scope that congress will feel it
incumbent on it to accept the offer and
promote in every direction the genera,
plan oil the undertaking which Mr.. Car
negie has in mind.

WILL WE BLK CUBAe

The announcement has been made, APP
parently on authority, that the protected
interests are combined on determined
opposition to the extension of the sub
stantial concession to the Cubans on the
existing tariff on sugar and tobacco.
This, according to the view of h
Globe, is matter for protectionists
and Republicans generally to concern
themselves on, rather than for Demo-
Gratis But, aside from the party aspect
of the matter, and, indeed, from the
strictly economic view, there are con-
siderations which ought to operate with
the administration in granting the con-
sites require. There are the moral obli-
cations which we assumed in our claim
to have established Cuban independence
which no people anxious for the preser=-
walton of their national self-respect can
ever avoid.
Up to the present we have discharged
those moral 0DHSaIlOHS IN a iIldHHef OE
which every American has a right to be
proud There is no Democrat, however,
bitterly he may be opposed to the dominion
of Imperialism, or to the assaults which
are being daily made on our free corr
stitutional system by the policy of the
Republican administration, that will not
willingly concede that we have done our
full duty, ana even more than our full
duty, toward the Cuban people in all that
has been done or attempted from the
beginning.
1t is now a serious question, however,
whether the protected corporations and
trusts, who show at every turn their
control of this administration, as they
showed their control of the administration
of Mckinley, will dictate our position to-
ward the Cubans in their endeaVor to es-
tablish their national finances on some
basis of enduring safety. The sugar and
tobacco trusts have shown that their win
can be imposed 0a those who dictate ma
tiona9 policies. in almost every direction.

mE. CARsEGIE,s LATEST OFFER.

mh. CAEN EG1E'S LATEST OFFER.
The idea Of a national university is as
old as the national government itself. II
cannot be said to be quite so popular
however. 1t has the sanction of the great
name of Washington behind it, and it has
come under consideration in congress at
different times in the past hundred years
or so. The last serious advocacy of it
that will he recalled was by the then
senator from Vermont, Hon. George F.
Edlnunds. But even Senator Edmunds,
with ali his ability and high standing in
the senate, was unable to secure for the
proposition more than a respectful hear
ing and hopeless defeat.
The proposal of Mr.. Carnegie to endow
a national university ought not to be re-
garded in any spirit save one of admira-
ton of the man who makes such an Of
fer and of q genuine desire that the ma
fer. But there is a serious question at
the outset for congress to determine,
whether, after all, it is consistent with
the dignity of this people to accept any
such offer from any man, and, whether,
if the idea of national university is to
take substantial form, it should not as
sumo that form through the devotion of
the national funds to the undertaking.
What will be in effect national uni
versity might we'll be established through
the munificence of individuals like Mr.
Carnegie The plans outlined by the
Washington Academy of Sciences might
well be applied to such an enterprise
That plan embodied as it's basic idea the
principle of a private foundation indie
pendently of government support or con-
troll. That plan also included, as one of
the principal purposes in organizing a
national university, the utilization of the
vast reeources at the disposal of the gov
eminent in directions of scientific liter
airy and historical research.
From the statement imputed to Com
missioner Wright, of the national depart
ment of labor, it appears that Mr. Car
negie has had under consideration the
utilization, through such an institution, of
the great facilities of the national gov
ernn1ent, and the training of capable men
for advanced work in the various de-
partments of human knowledge.
OF course it is not yet possible to dis

THE soUrH rs PREPaRED.

1t is now announced that the Crum-
packer bill designed to reduce Southern
representation in congress ana in the
electoral college will be opposed by the
Republican representatives in congress
from the South The ostensible reason
is nothing in the Crumpaeker bill which
guarantees a free ballot. The real rea-
son will probably prove to be that the
reduction of representation which is
sought to be affected will operate against
the Republicans, as well as against
Democrats, in cutting off Southern repre-
sentation.
Democrats would on party grounds
rather see this measure forced to adop-
ton than otherwise. 1t is a two-edged
political sword, and cuts most surely the.
hand that yields it.
The implacable antagonism of the Re-
publicans toward the South could not
we'll be expressed more forcbly than it
is in this proposed measure. Nothing
short of census will enable anyone to
tell the extent to which the recent con-
stitutional amendments have resulted III
the disfranchisement OF the negro, or OF
the white, for that matter. But this
measure is so framed that the ratio
which the entire male population In
certain Southern states bears to the en-
tire population can be made to
represent the basis Of reduction
to be made in the voting strength of
those states in congress and the electoral
college.
This measure, as we'll as the pretended
resolution of inquiry introduced in the
house by Mr.. Moody. of Massachusetts,
assumes that congress can lawfully pass
upon the legality of a constitution adopt
ed by a given state. This assumption,
like all the numerous other assumptions
which are involved in this kind OF at
tempted legislation, does not bother the
trainers of such measures. Nor indeed
does it bother anybody else.
The Southern states nave been Wfest-
ling hard with their social and electoral
problems, and they have, like states
north of Mason and Dixon's line, settled
them in their own way. If they have
disfranchised certain of their male ADULT
population they have done it on what
seemed to their people respectively as
good and sufficient grounds, just as has
the same thing been done say in the
state of Massachusetts,, where those who
cannot read are denied the privilege Of
voting. They will stand by their action,
even at the cost of being deprived by
partisan congressional majority of their
representation in the national councils,
and the good sense and liberality of
thought of the entire country will be
found to be with the South in the refusal
whenever an appeal becomes necessary
on the subject of such legislation.

VIII they succeed in making like DEM
onstration in the case of the Cuban re-
public?
President Roosevelt in his message on
in his references to the future Of the
island. Let us see what position he took
on the general subject of our treatment
of the two leading Cuban commercial in
terests.
Discussing the future of Cuba the
presidential message used these words:
Elsewhere I have discussed the CUES
ton of reciprocity. In the case OF CUBA
however, there are weighty reasons OF
morality and of national interest why
the policy reciprocity should be held
to have peculiar application, and l
most earnestly ask your attention TO tne
wisdom indeed to the vital need, OF
providing for a substantial reduction IN
the tariff duties on Cuban imports into
the United States. Cuba has, in her con-
stitution affirmed what we desired, that
she should stand in international mat
tiers in closer and more friendly relationS
with us than with any other power; and
we are bound by every consideration OF
honor and expediency to pass CONNER
cial measures in the interest OF her MA
terial Well-being.
There is no installing this language
1t may be that President Roosevelt will
show that he can yield to the dictates of
the protected interests, as he apparently
did when expressing the conviction that
any general revision of the tariff was
unwise at this time, and he may choose
to ignore any pressure toward annexation
that congress authorizes by Withholding
Cuban reciprocity legislation; but in any
event we can only fail to give Cuba the
needed relief and assistance at the cost
of national dishonor.
