WITHOUT AN AUDIENCE.

Senator Morgan's contribution to the
PhiladcIphia Record, designed to show
that the erection of Cuba as an indie
pendent national power must inevitably
involve the United States in war. does
not seem to have secured that degree
of public attention which is usually be-
slowed on the public declarations of that
eminent gentleman.
His contentious are stated at great
length, and very cogently. His prin-
cipal point, however, is that there stands
nothing between the enforcement of
who was compelled by superior force
to surrender her control save the en-
forcement Of the Montroe doctrine. He
argues that Spain may rightfully claim
cision of Cuba from her colonial possess
sions the residents of the islands were
mostly Spanish subjects who owed and
acknowledged allegiance to her, and that
for their protection she may find it nee
essary, in any future state of turmoil
that may arise in the island, to reassert
her national authority
OF course, the senator goes farther
than this, taking the general position
that any one or more European powers
may think proper, for the pacifcation
of the country ard the protection of the
interests of their citizens or subjects to
interfere and assume control of Cuban
affairs for the time This contention is
backed up by good deal Of argument
that Is at least plausible on it's face,
but is wholly without point, since it is
lions and predictions no one of which
might ever be realized
There are many reasons why Senator
Morgan does not secure an audience. The
first and controlling reason with the
average intelligent American is that the
United States has proceeded too far to
go back even if they could do SO. They
have pledged their national honor tn
non-interference after a responsibIe svs-
tenn OF government is established, and
they nave supplemented that pledge -by
the recent conduct Of the federal ALL
thorities in connection with the consti-
tutional convention. So that at tba
present moment there stands nothing
Whatever between the realization of an
independent national existence for China
