"As for the recent bank troubles Ill New York" writes Henry Clews In ms weekly letter, .they do not show any general unsoundness. but they, do bring. to the surface speculative excesses or the sort we are specially exposed to ID these times. Imprudence and over confidence are the greatest dangers at present. General business is so satis- factory and prosperity so general that it is hard to resist the unusual tempta- tions. The speculative spirit is thor oughly aroused and needs restraint; and just such experiences as last weeks, unpleasant as they may be, are needed to keep speculation within bounds. For the present we advise against ihdiscriminate buying. The money market is exposed to manipula- tive rates of. interest until after the July disbursements, Added to this, the coming week will be broken by the holidays, so the outlook is against any buoyant activity. Although the vol ume of transactions on the Exchange has very largely declined from the figures reached at the most active stage of the boom, yet the market mas lost little of its intrinsic strength. II is now more tempting for the bears to take the field, and occasionally they undertake ventures which produce transient reactions. Gradually, 1nVes- tors and temperate speeulators realize more and more fully that the last eight months risein the prices of rall road stocks has been something more than an artificial infation.

Commissioner Evans. of the pension bureau, who has hereto been a silent +aroet. this week unlimbered his battery of beavy e41ns and fired broadside ln- to his critics and opponents. He issued q statement aimed particularly at some statements made by General Daniel P. Sickles, including the assertion that the republican national committee had promised in writing previous to the late election that new commissioner of pensions should be named early Ill the present administration. Of the latter MT Evans said: "I know noth- ing of Major General Daniel D. Sickles' alleged contract with the national con- mittee. I never heard of it until he denied 1t Sunday, reconsidered it Mon- day, and admitted it Tuesday. He then includes two letters from General Sickles to him, both dated in 1853, commenting his administration of the pension bureau, and said he had others. His statement coneludes: 'sI have no apologies to make for my administra- tion of this great bureau. l have made mistakes, no doubt; but l have en- deayored to be honest with my govern ment, respecting my oath of office, administering the laws as laid down in practice with equal justice to all. In this I have had the cordial support of many good employees in this bureau, from the highest to the lowest l beg to call attention to the fact that the disbursements through this bureau and the numerous agencies since came here have amounted to $6O0,000,- GOO or more; there have been no defaii cations, no misapplication or misappro- priatien of public funds; there have been no bounty land scandals or charge
 of squandering public funds; there has ] been no selling of appointments or pro

THE SPOONER BILL.

The essence of the Spooner bill. to
which the democrats are Offering such
strenuous opposition. is contained in thu
provision that as soon as the military
conditions make it possible:
All military civil and judicial powers
necessary to govern said islands shall.
until otherwise provided by congress be
vested in such person and persons and
Shall be exercised in such manner as the
president of the the United States shall
direct. for maintaining and prote citing the
Inhabitants of said islands in the free en-
joyment of their liberty, property and re-
ligion.
This is denounced as despotic and revo-
dictionary and proof of the imperialstic
tendencies of the present administration:
thing absolutely unprecedented and
wholly despicable. When they are
through with their denunciations perhaps
some democrat will point out any real
difference that may exist between this
provision of the Spooner bill and the
following provision of the act passed Oc-
tober %. 1903. under which the demo-
cratic president. Thomas Jefferson was
given control of the Louisiana purchase
and the government of the same:
That until the expiration of the present
session of congress. unless provision for
temporary government of the said terri
1orys be sooner made by congress- all the
military, civil and judicial powers exer-
cised by the existing government shall be
vested in such person and persons. and
shall be exercised in such manner as the
president of the United States shall di-
rect for maintaining and protecting the
tnha bitants of Louisiana in the free en-
joyment of their liberty, property and
religion.
Thomas jefferson did not find this pro-
vision objectiona Bile or unconstitutional
The latter cay democrats have been a long
time in making the discovery that the
principle involved in the Spooner bill is
unconstitutional.

SENATOR 0. Il. PlATT ON CUBA.

Our Washington correspondent yes
terday reported a highly interesting in
terview with Senator Orville Ii. Plat
of Connecticut. on the question of United!
States government action concerning
the Cuban question. Mr.. Piatt's views
upon all public questions are to be re-
garded with respect as those of a con-
scientious and enlightened statesman,
and on this subject they are especially
worthy of attention, since he is chair
man of the senate committee on rela
tons with Cuba. and has personally Wis
tied that island for study and investiga-
ton. On the face of them his views of
the question in hand seem somewhat
startling. not to saw disconcerting. He
thinks Congress has not the power to
Geal directly with the Cuban constitu-
ton We can neither approve,
reject nor in any way amend or modify
the Cuban constitution by act of con-
gress. Cuba. being a foreign
country. is privileged to establish .har
own government without let or MINI
drance. SfsN
II that were the sum of the whole mat
tel it might we'll be asked what business
United States troops and administra.
tors have in Cuba today. and why we did
not absolutely withdraw from the island
tn moment Spain relinQuished her SOW
ereignty over it. The United States has
retained control of Cuba thus far in Or
DER to fulfill the objects of it's interview
ton. Those objects We're two in number
One was TO rid tn island of Spanish mis-
rule. The other was to replace that rule
with native government. free and sta
bile and capable of discharging its inter-
ma tlonal obligations to this and to all
other countries. The United States has
not only the right but is under the most
solemn obligation to retain control of
Cuba until such a government is estab-
lished. and established to it's own-the
United State's-s satisfaction. Having in
teNened to secure such a government
having itself governed the island until
the time seemed ripe for the organization
OF such a government. and having pre-
scribed the time and manner in which
such a government should be formed it
is elemental equity that the United
States should logically complete the
work by passing authoritative and final
judgment upon the character Of the gov
eminent that is set up.
Indeed, it is nothing short of self-evi-
dent that i'll certain contingencies the
nited States would have to exercise q
censorship over the constitution of Cuba.
Let us suppose. for example, that the
convention should insert into that docu-
ment clause providing for the resur-
render of the island to Spain or for the
transfer of it to some other alien power:
ii would be impossible for the United
States to acquesce in it, but this country
would simply have to veto it. if need

Were by force of arms Or, let lis su,,-
pose the constitution were made to dis
eliminate extensively against the United
States in trade relations, or to establish
a monarchy instead of a republic or TO
prohibit religious freedom or to re-es-
tab!ish human slavery. or to impose in
tolerable hardships upon all visitors
from this country. or to repudiate the
lawful Indebtedness of the island The.
United States would be pillored in in.

Cuba to have such an outcome True.
these are extreme suppositions. There is
no reason to expect that Cuba will ever
want to do such abominable things 1t
is earnestly to be hoped and pretty con-
tdently to be expected. that the consti-
tuition will be satisfactory and accept
able to the United States government.
t:ut in any case it is for this government
to determine whether it is so or not. and
to retain ineXorably it's control of Cuba
until the Cuban situation is made sat
isfactory and secure.
This conclusion. some may say. Is
Numerically opposed to the views of
Senator Platt. Yes. and no. The Con-
necticut senator says something more,
and something more significant, than

says that although Cuba is a foreign
country. yet because of the circum-
stances Of our intervention there the
United States has certain rights and
privileges in that island. and certain
mutual obligations exist between the
two. That is precisely what the Tribune
has all along contended and that is the
basis of the argument we have just
MDrpOVpr tnr latt
Congress may declare upon what terms
and conditions military occupation of
cuba shall cease. and in doing that might
express it's opinion as to what necessary
guarantees of our future relations should
be embodied in its constitution Pre-
cisely. 1t is admirably put Only we do
not suppose Senator Platt means that
congress is merely to express it's opinion
concerning the guarantees and to leave
Cuba free to honor or to snub that opin-
ior and to grant or to refuse the guaran-
tees at will. He must mean. of course
that congress is to prescribe the guaran-
tees which it considers necessary. and is
to make an absolute assurance of them
the condition upon which our military
occupation of Cuba shall cease. Moth
ing more than that is proposed and moth
ing less than that would be acceptable
that the rights and privileges of the
United States and the mutual obliga-
tons of the two countries shall be recog-
nized and guarantees concerning them
shall be irrevocably secured--and it IS
encouraging and suspicious to have the
case so frankly and so convincinglv
stated by so good an authority.-New
York Tribune.

POPE LEo's PRAYER TO CHRIST

Translated by DR.. William Hayes Ward.
Now ends this age, kind nurse Of noble
Its useful gifts, and natures powers
unveiled.
Let those who will acclaim with grateful
The failures of this failing century
) Concern me more: these 1 bemoan.
Alas.
What wrongs my backward gaze recalls
to me.
O, slaughters. broken sceptres, vice
widespread.
Shall I complain? Or of the Vatican
Beset with thousand wiles of battle
dread?
Queen City that hast never owned de-
feat,
Why fades thy fameo Long centuries
honored thee;
Ancestral tribes bent at thy pontiff's
Woe when mans law the law of God
fes.
What faith can stay once from Gods
altar rent?
Teen justice faints and falls and honor
dies.
Hear We the impious rant. the rabble
speak.
Vain of their crazy lore? Their only
Ia nature blind and dumb and dead they
seek
They scorn to see. wrought in the human
frame,
Image of God; but, chasing empty
dreams,
They make the seed of man and beast
the same.
Alas. how wallows in a gulf of shame
Mans shameful pride. Mortals attend
and bend
He is the Life. the Truth. the only Way
, To Heaven above. He only can restore
The vanished years to mortals gone
astray.
IT'S He that lately led the pious throngs
No empty omen for our prayers and
songs.
Jesus, thou ruler of all times that be.
Bless thou the century's successive
years.
Hid Thou the recreant nations turn to
Thee!
\,urish 7 nrav the seeds of kindly
peace.
To realms Of darkness drive the crimes
of men,,
That passions, tumults. cruel wars may
cease.

WORTHY OF TIE TRUST.

MiSSoula Gazette: The Gazette rec
ognizes that the republicans are in such
hopeless minority that they cannot eX-
rect to elect any one, but they can
continue in tie same undertaking course
they have pursued ever since the bal
letting began and cast their votes for
a republican and go down to defeat
with colors flying. They must not listen
to any overtures for compromise or
combination of any sort. Their duty to
the party is plain. and in no better way
can they serve the party or the men
who elected them than by retaining
solid front and turning deaf ear to
all overtures for a trade of any sort.
The party's honor is in their keeping
and the trust is a sacred one. That it
will be faithfully and honorably dis
charged the Gazette does not doubt
