TROUBLES IN CUBA.

The reports concerning Cuban condl-
tions are not quite as encouraging as
might be desired by all friends Of the
young republic. The ship Of state
seems to have entered breakers, and
wise craftsmanship will be needed to
steer 1t into smooth waters.
There are financial difficulties. Fall
ures In business are taking place every
day In Havana and the larger cities
throughout the island. In the capital
the obligations Of merchants are being
paid by their friends to enable them to
close up business and retire with honor
for bankruptcy spells disgrace to the
Spanlard Agents are posting off to the
United States TO borrow money TO save
reputable houses. II they fail to get Il,
everything will have to go by the board.
On plantations where thousands once
were employed, work is now found on
ly for few, and the planters are in
some cases merely dispensing charity
when they pay wages. Every day, II
is claimed, finds more laborers out Of
employment.
Then there Is color question. The
colored people are commencing TO
claim that they are set aside In politI-
cal appointments. They argue that
they have taken a prominent part in
the revolutionary wars that were
fought for the independence Of the ISL
and, and that their rights should be
guarded In the distribution Of the
spells.
IL the reports are correct, Il is ev-
dent that Cuba has elements Of serious
troubles, Hard times and rivalry be-
tween races are dangerous to any state.
They furnish the proper soil for tbs
growth Of revolutions and disorders.
The Cuban negroes form large part
OF the population. According to the
census taken by American officials the
number Of whites in 1899 was i.Oe7. 900.
and the number of oolored inhabitants
was $4,000, the percentage OF negroes
10 whites tending steadily downward
Thus in 1861 there were about 100 900
more negroes in Cuba than in 1899. The
largest negro population is found in the
provinces of Matanzas and Santiago.

There could scarcely be a more alb.
surd proposition than to submit the mat
ter OF the treaty between Denmark and
the United States. for the transfer OF
the Danish West Indies to the latter to
The Hague arbitration tribunal. There
is no dispute between the two coun-
tries. only negotiations. and TO have the
treaty negotiations between two inde-
pendent governments submitted to ar
bitration would be for them to abdicate
their independence. No wonder the
state department officials fail to see
any reason for submitting the matter

NOT A CANDIDATE,

II win be a matter OF much surprise
to the people OF this State to learn, that
Chief Justice Miner, OF the Supreme
Court, has decided not to become can
didate for reelection next November.
1t was generally understood that he
would in all probability receive the
nomination Of the Republican party for
that high position, as he has obtained
great experience on the bench, both IN
the lower and upper courts, and has
distinguished himself Ms a gentleman OF
acute mind, legal learning, and ability
to grasp public questions and to distin-
guish between the right and the wrong
from a judicial standpoint, and having
courage to pronounce judgment no mat
ter what the effects might be upon liti-
gants or upon parties.
Il is regrettable that personal Ill
health prevents the Judge from re-en-
tering the political arena. His ailment,
however, Is not one that Is likely to Inn
pair his general vigor Of mind or body,
being Of a rheumatic kind, and one that
q change OF climate viii not only miti-
gate, but probably remove entirely.
However, II unflts him for the excite
ment and strain OF political activity,
and by the advice Of his physician he
has concluded to retire from that field
His talents, however, are not likely to
remain entirely qulesoent We may ex-
pect to hear from him in the future,
II not in Utah in some other part OF the
country where he shah take up his
abode. His many friends will unite
with us In wishing him good health and

THE BAILEY DsynRiooE AFFAIR.
New York Sun.

Senator Beverage behaved very well
throughout this unfortunate affair, re-
fuslng to see, what was clear TO every
body else. that Mr. Bailey, who is q
larger man, sought personal encoun-
ter to satisfy his wounded honor. Sen.
ator Bailey's conduct was that of
dangerous lunatic. As Mr.. Beyeridge
neither insulted him nor used language
which a sensible man should have con-
struei as personally offensive, the SEN
ator from Texas has forfeited his right
20 be considered a desirable man TO as
sociate with. He can regain II only by
a manly apology and course OF nro-
stationary retreat, such as Senator Till
man Is now undergoing for the sake OF
his reputation.

Senators should not let their angry
passions rise TO the climax OF physical
encounter, even after the adjournment
of the senate. Although Senators Bailey
and BeverIdge are young men they are
old enough 10 know better than to en-
gage in an encounter In the senate
chamber Both are noteworthy. Mr..
Bailey lost his temper after q debate
in which Mr. Beyeridge forgot what
manners ne ever had Mr., Beveridge IL
a smart. rather than an able man, who
is not popular with his colleagues on
either side OF the chamber. His manner
Is at times very ffensiye-suggestive of
a man thoroughly convinced OF his own
superiority, talking down" to his
hearers.
