takes the larger view. II is not afraid
that any change in political sentiment
will come that will interfere with tho
prosperous development Of the South and
will not give legitimate expression to the
new spirit Of enterprise which generated
II. This IL the broad and phllosophio view;
the Norfolk papers view is distorted by
partisan prejudice
The recognition that a revolution IN
Southern political sentiment is going on,
as 40 obviously II Is. does not imply by any
means that the change means necessarily
or is likely to lead to rapid transfer OF the
dominance from one party to another "
means simply that political sentiment at
the South Is resuming the healthy division
OF the past, and that broad national policies
are again receiving the free discussion
which was so long prevented by the ap-
parently portentous shadow OF the purely
sectional negro question.

.Anti-ranm any.

The Republican clubs Of this city, num-
bering more than fifty. have the credit Of
adopting the strongest platform for an
anti-rammany movement yet chosen by
any of the various associates IN that
particular enterprise. On Tuesday night
they resolved to form themselves into a
federation OF Republican clubs OF the city Of
New York and TO defer for the moment
the consideration Of any other principle.
On the same evening a powerful body or
Brooklyn Democrats got together under
the banner Of the Hon. MICHAEL j. CoFFEY.
and appointed a committee TO arrange for
an alliance with other anti-Tammany or
CARNATIONS. Last night the German Repub-
Leans met for a similar purpose,
One after another, the anti-Tammany
bodies are showing themselves, and de-
claring their desire TO drive Tammany out

Outside OF their lines are thousands OF
individual citizens anxious TO cooperate

A Clearer sky at Havana

The information carried back from
Washington by the delegates from 'he
Cuban Constitutional Convention appears
IN have resolved the doubts Of two classes
o, obiectors to the Platt amendment
First, those members Of the convention
who thought they disoerned behind the con
ditions propounded by Congress sinister
purpose on the part OF this uoverniheh'.
Personal interviews with the Preslueh'
and full and free discussion with the secre-
tsrv OF War satisfied the special coIninls-
sioners OF the absolute good faith OF 'he
Administration and OF Ito friendly and Just
intentions concerning the Cuban people
and their future
Secondly the extremists In the cohVeh
ton who cherished the mistaken IDEA 'ha'
the Platt amendment was q tentative propo-
sition from which this Government wou'd
recede finally II resistance at Havana was
sufficiently tenacious The Cuban gentle
men recently visiting Washington have
heen able TO convince this element III me
convention that Congress meant exactly
vhot Il said in the Platt amendment; that
the plRnt COUulllOts
tho law, and that there was no posslolIi'y
OF change by the Executive
Both Of these errors have been supported
and fed by the utterances OF certain Ameri-
can newspapers whose main purpose, I'M
perfectly understood at Havana IS 10 en-
barrass the Administration at every pos
slble opportunity. The experience OF the
dended Filipinos in this respect has had
its Counterpart at Havana. The special
comm. oners have been able 20 tell their
colleagues the truth about the situation,
Even Sehor vlLIUENDA now records his
belief that the Plat amendment represents
the purpose OF the nation, that It's conditions
are inevitable and that they must be ac-
cepted if a Cuban republic is to be estaD-
lished at this time.
No recent event has counted so much
for the welfare and prosperity Of Cuba as
the decision Of the convention to send
representatives TO Washington TO ascertain
the facts at first hand. The time and
trouble expended in that important ex-
cursion have proved highly remunera-
tive investment.
