AN ANNOYING PLEDGE.

The following extract from double
column editorial In today's Cleveland
Leader shows that the Administration
leaders are chatting under the restraint
OF the pledge not TO interfere In the
government Of Cuba, after the same
has been established by tho people OF
that island:
IL has returned common sense, Cuba
Is right where the Almighty put 1t,
and the people thereof are just as the
Almighty made them. They are un'
grateful, treacherous, irresponsible,
savage, ignorant, and as yet unworthy.
Congress, when II was wild with
emotion, made certain pledges. These
pledges are arising today to torment
the country aud to confuse the gov
ernmcnt. Congress was not then COM
petent TO make pledges. Congressman
were ignorant of the character Of tho
Cuban people. Congressman are NOT

The above editorial is interesting as
indicating the general opinion OF the
leading Administration newspapers of
America upon the subject of breaking
the pledge given to the Cubnns. The
fact that this organized criticism is
co-incident with the announcement
that the new government OF Cuba will
incurred by Spain IN attempting to
subdue the island, will account In part
for the eugcrncss of the Administra-
tiion to repudiate the pledge. That
the pledge will be broken may be taken
for granted; the Administrations ma
jorlty In both Houses of Congress will
attend TO that, and the papers like
the Cleveland Leader will try to
gain for the pledge-breakers an
appearance of something like a public
endorsement OF the work of the pledge
breakers.
A political organization that claims
public justification for nm open as
sault upon the Constitution and n
sneering reputation of the traditions
of the Republic Will hardly find itself
unable TO break an emotional prom,
isc" given to the Cubans by wild Con-
grcssmen" who knew "lcss than the
average schoolboy.'

there is every reason to believe that
was always source Of real regret
to her.
Her age, her high character and her
womanliness combined to make her
name revered among her own peo.
pie and respected abroad. Lacking, for
the most part, the qualities of head
aud heart which make Kings odious,
she has done much to lessen the oppo-
sition to arbitrary power which sixty
years ago menaced European rulers.
Whether her successor will profit by
her example or develop less popuIar
traits remains to be seen. If Edward
VII proves that he has just claim
to the confidence bestowed upon her
she as his mother as well MS his pred.
ecessor, will derive credit from his
good deeds; If, on the other hand, he
fpils In the difficult task of filling hel
place satisfactorily he reign will grow
the brighter by contrast.
1t is a high yet a deserved tribute
to her to say that no one exercising
royal prerogatlves could have done bet
ter and that the world at large ha.
cause to mourn he demise.
