No HIGGLTNG IN CUBA.

Announcements is made that the Cuban Con
stitutional Convention has not received favor
ably the communication from this government
declining 10 regard as satisfactory that conven-
ton's treatment OF the Platt amendment. The
Cubans said TO have demurred TO the
request for action upon that amendment pure
and simple. without additions, notifications or
Interpretations and TO he holding out for
acceptance Of their former action final. This
is by no means surprising. No matter what
was their idea in amending the amendment il
is NOT to be supposed that they relish the job
of undoIng their work. Nevertheless. only
one course Is possible. That is for the United
States Government TO stand inexorably for the
adoption Of its act of Congress. just as il was
enacted by Congress and as it may be inter
preted by the Supreme Court.
This is the only course, because. as we have
hitherto pointed out the government has no
option in the matter. The Executives function
is to execute. not TO modify or 10 interpret.
No matter what might be the wishes OF the
administration. il could not do otherwise than
10 insist upon the enforcement of the act of
Congress, in letter and in spirit. without addi-
tiOn or subtraction. II the Cubans will not
gree 10 that, their sole alternative is 10 let
matters stand as AT present. with the United
States Governor in full control. until Congress
reassembles. and then 10 seek from that body a
reconsideration and modification of it's former
act in accordance with the wishes Of Cubans
or with their memory Of some social conver-
sations. If they think Congress will be inclined
10 listen 20 them and 10 grant their plea they
are welcome to put il 10 the test. But they will
have no one TO blame but themselves if they
meet with disappointment.
We have said the administration has no option
but 10 insist upon the act OF Congress pure and
simple. 10 ii had such option we may well
doubt whether il would be inclined 10 offer any
such modification of the terms as that which
the Cuban convention assumed 10 make The
purpose Of the administration has already been
sufficiently well expressed. II is TO establish in
Cuba stable government capable of fulfilling
its international obligations and of protecting
United States we'll as native interests in the
island. The administration is pledged 10 this
country and 10 the world 10 do that thing and
10 see TO its enduring maintenance. To do So
not bit too much power Will he given 10 il by
the P,att amendment in its full form and force
Anything short OF that would gravely hamper
the United States Government in fulfilling its
mission in Cuba and in justifying before the
world its intervention In that island.

Towne had little time 10 devote to other pur-

of Texas in a S5.OOo,000 company. IL is hard to

4 REMINDER TO TOTERS.

The Committee OF Fifteen has given the citi-
Zens OF New-York another reminder of the
character of their police force. For some time
its raids upon gambling houses have been con-
Quoted with especial precautions to give the
Tammany officials no opportunity TO warn the
lawbreakerS. and those raids have been success
full in surprising the gamblers. On Thursday
night, however. just for an experiment the
police were called to the assistance of the
raiders When the gambling mouse was reached
ii was discovered that the managers had been
warned and the persons in the place We're in
haste making their exit from the rear windows
Apparently somebody had given warning by
telephone. and there is not the slightest moral
doubt that the somebody was in the police sta
tiOn from which the raidng expedition started
This is no new thing. But 1t is well 10 call
attention thus forcibly from sine to time TO the
fact that the guardians of our laws are the part
ners and protectors of the criminals. Commits
siOner Murphy declares that there wasn't any
raid at ALL, and that is true. 1t is true because
the raid was frustrated by his own department
When the police have a chance TO Tip off, n
gambling house raids are almost invariably
failures while if the Committee Of Fifteen is
able 10 make descent on a place without Civ
ing the police previous knowledge of the plan
the raid is generally successful. Visitors TO
gambling houses have told how play has been
stopped and they have been requested to leave
as the result of a telephone call TO the manager
who knew enough to tell them how much time
they had in which to get ont safely. There
never has been any doubt that such warnings
came from the police, and the latest experience
of the Committee of Fifteen in contrast with
its success at other times. Is merely cumulative
evidence of the purpose TO which Tammany
puts the police power. There is no use of COM
planning about il to the officials. II New
Workers do not want that sort of police admins
tratiOn they can abolish il AT the next election
The facts have been long before them and the
Committee of Fifteen is wisely keeping them
fresh in the minds of voters

NOT 4 HAPPY LOT.

The London costermonger in nine cases out
of ten is a merry soul. He works hard for a
living, but he usually gets his rights. such as
they are. He knows that he must obey the
municipal ordinances. and the police force and
the costermongers get along we'll enough to-
gether. British guardians Of the peace are not
inclined 10 blackmail or 10 maltreat the humble
street vender. The English bobby" never fails
TO bear in mind the obvious fact that he will be
held TO account and punished severely if he
tries TO tyrannize over the open air dealers in
small things. and any attempt at extortion on
his part is almost sure to be swiftly followed bv
the exaction of a rigorous penalty
New-York owners OF handcarts who hold city
licenses for the selling OF fruit or nuts or trivial
wares in the open spaces OF the town may well
envy the happier lot Of the London pedlers
Here they are the sport and the prey Of hard
listed patrolmen. who buffet them about with

some who have not been above talking about

tiOns from the Supreme Court opinions defining
the limits Of executive power are flung at the
Nebraskan as a sufficient exposure Of the cheap
shallowness OF his comment on the decisions.
Bryanites. on the other hand, pick up the lurid
articles of the Eastern anti-imperialist editors
denouncing the action OF the court as revolu-
uonary and calling for rehearing and reversal
ana ask how these attacks upon the Supreme
Court can be made by the same persons who
denounced Mr.. Bryan for wanting 10 reverse

Western publication conducted by W. j. Bryan.
sometime candidate for President on a certain
collection of tickets If this true il is fair 10
infer that Mr.. Bryan Is seeking to extend the
circulation of his publication in this vicinity
This is business enterprise. and unquestiOnably
cOmmcndabe as such. II Is to be assumed
however. that the Editor of The Commoner'
realizes that in order TO extend his circulation
here 10 any considerable extent he will have 10
print something in his paper of interest 10 New
York Democrats. and IL is matter for wonder
just what this something will be. II can hardly
be expected, even by person OF a naturally
sanSuine temperament like Mr.. Bryan. that
New-YOrk Democrats, in their present frame of
mind will take with any especial kindness 10
arguments and political and economic philoso-
phes warmed over from the campaign of 1900
No one. probably. would care 10 assert that there
is the utmost harmony among the NewYork
Democrats at this time. except upon one sub
ject There is harmony which is almost
celestial and that Is concerning the useless folly
OF the campaign arguments Of 1900. They will
not buy a paper 10 hear these arguments re-
hearsed.
But these suggestions are not made for the
purpose of dscouraGing Mr.. Bryan Far from
II. Their real purpose is To be helpful, If pOsSi-
bic. 10 a worthy money making enterprise.
Therefore We Iyest 10 Mr.. Bryan that the sub
tect which interests the New-YOrk Democrats
most at the present time is the coming Mayor
atty canvass and the efforts which are making
10 purge the city of Tammany control. This
subject interests Tammany naturally. and all
the other Democrats as we'll. II would not he
friendly 10 suppose that. as an enterprlSing
editor, Mr.. Bryan is ignorant of the situation rs
il presents itself here, and we venture 20 hope
that he will express himself editorially on the
various phases of the situation they come 10
light. 1t is recalled that on the occasion of
visit 10 this city some months ago Mr. Bryan
spoke Of Tammqny in terms which were then
taken 10 signify a warm admiration. Great is
Tammany," he said, "and Croker Is its prophet
In the light and memory Of the address dellv-
cred on that occasion II is certain that anything
which Mr.. Bryan might say on the situation now
would he read with real interest. not only by
Tammany, but by Tammany's Democratic
enemies
