GEN. FITZ LEES WARNING.

Few men in the United States have
a better knowledge OF the condition and
needs Of Cuba and the characteristics OF
the Cuban people then General Fitzhugh
Lee.
He was sent to Havana by President
Cleveland as consul general of the United
States, and filed that difficult and deli
cate position so we'll that President Nc
Kinley insisted that he should retain it.
He did so until our relations with Spain
were severed.
General Lee has been very close OBJ
server of events in Cuba, and TIE policy
Of the United States relative to the island.
His views on Cuban affairs are therefore
always received with respectful consid-
Grafton. In a recent interview he says
that the pressing need of the island is
decent measure of prosperity and prosper
ity is impossible to Cuba so long as ac-
cess 10 our markets is made as difficult
as it is now.
General Lee regards our duty of 10O per
cent. on the chief product of Cuba as
fatal to the revival of business. 1t pre-
vents the raising of sufficient revenue to
support the government. After looking
the facts. equaTely In the face General
Lee is driven to the conclusion that the
result must be anarchy or annexation
We demand Cuba shall maintain a sound
ard liberal government and yet we re-
fuse her the means of doing so. We eN-
rect that Cuba shall provide and keep
up a thorough and expensive system OF
sanitation, en- efficient. police department,
well equipped and capably conducted
Pubic schools and other necessaries Of
good government, but under the conditions
that we have imposed upon her she can
not possibly carry on such a government
General Lee advocates very earnestly
tariff concessions to the young govern
inert which must be considered our ward
and for which we have large degree Of
responsibility.
This policy would avert both anarchy
and annexation. The latter would involve
many troublesome problems. 1t is proba-
Bile that the cuhans would not submit to
annexation without armed resistance.
General Lee gives calm review of the
situation and points out the course which
the honor Of our government requires US
to take.

Perhaps the Journal readers in this
section will be interested in an account
of the recent convention at Chattanooga,
where leading educators from nearly all
the southern states were present at the
Southern Educational association.
In point of numbers the meeting was
somewhat disappointing to its friends and
promoters. Two facts largely account
for this. viz: that only seven months ago
the association was in session at Column
bia, s. c., at which place the time of
meeting was changed from winter to
summer, and the further fact that many
summer schools and chautahquas of va
rious kinds are going on at this time the
one at Knoxville. Tenn, having upwards
of fifteen hundred teachers.

problems now facing the south. 1t is an

rAE NEGRO VOTE.

Both Of the great parties will put forth
their best evidences in the congressional
campaign Of this year as the result is ad-
mittedly IN doubt.
In spite OF factions In some states, es-
peciaily Illinois and Ohio. the Democrats
generally are more united than they have
been at any time since 1892 and therefore
have greater confidence Of success.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
are in a pretty family row and are d.
vided into two factions on the administra-
tIon's Cuban policy.
How far this rupture may be healed be-
fore the November election cannot now be
foreseen, but IL is not 20 be expected that

mustered such a large number OF Repub-
licans in both houses Of congress against

a number OF the city districts Of New
York state this year.
The time has passed when the negro
vote. north or south, can be considered
practically solid for Republican candi-
dates. The number Of negroes. who be-
lieve that Il Is TO the interest to the men
of their race TO study political issues with
out prejudice and to vote according TO
their best Judgment, instead OF blindly fol-
lowing the lead of one party is increasing.
Many negroes have come to the conclu-
sion that the Republican party processes
a great deal more friendship for their race
than Il proves and that the negro has
more rights that are Of practical value to
him in that section Of the country where
the Democratic party prevails than he
enjoys anywhere else.
The Democratic candidates for congress
in quite a number OF northern and west
ern states will receive a good large negro
vote next November.
1t is not unlikely that this vote may
determine the result in a score Of dis
tricts. or more.
We shall probably see several negro
campaign speakers put on the stump oy

committee.

ranks Of the Democracy in the present
campaign. II is announced that he will
make a series of campaign speeches in the
north and west.
other negroes of recognized ability will
be likewise engaged and In some districts
the spectacle of a Democrat defeating a
Republican for congress by the aid of ne
gro voters is quite likely TO be presented
next November.

ATERRIRLELoss.

Last Monday the anthracite coal strike
entered upon its ninth week. and il seems
likely to continue for many weeks to
come.
What has the strike accomplished so
far?
II has increased the price of both an
thracite and soft coal in all parts OF the
country and to all classes of people. 1t
has caused a loss OF about $3.50 COO of
which the mine operators bear one-half
and the miners one-fouTth. The rest falls
upon business interests that are directly
interfcfed with by the strike.
Sot an Individual. a corporation or any
legitimate interest. whatsoever has been
benefited by this clash between capital and
labor.
II is reported that the coal companies
win attempt TO begin operations IN sew
eral mines very soon with men partly i'm
ported and rarity drawn from the ranks
Of the strikers. Such an attempt will al
most surely cause trouble fin the region OF
the strike.
1t appears now that the only chance to
avoid that calamity is an agreement be-
tween the strikers and their late en-
ployers, and neither party seems to- lie In
a humor TO consider fairly the differences
that separate them.
II will be happy day for this country
when system of just and reasonable ar
bitration can be agreed upon by capital
and labor generally and faithfully adhered
to- Strikes are one Of the worst forms Of
waste. and the harm that comes from
them. as a rule is not to be measured ny
the money loss they cause, enormous as
It is.
There are good reasons to believe, how
ever, that we are gradually approaching
an era OF arbitration that will benefit both
employers and employees and the general
public which now suffers heavily from CIV

emit of five Americans and three Filipinos,
appointed by the president, so to continue
until a census of the archipelago shall
have been taken and the commission has
certified that the time is ripe for the
establishment of a lower chamber, to be
elected by the Filipinos. The house bill
provides that the election Of the lower
chamber shall take place as soon as the
commission can provide for it.
The senate bill provides for much larg-
er land grants than the house would
agree TO. The senate also insists upon the
silver standard for the the Philippines,
while the house seems to be equally firm
in its demand for the gold standard.
The Philippine commission sides with
the house on two Of these points and with
the senate on one. The commission be-
Heves that the establishment of a lower
house at once is advisable. In its opin-
ion such a body would be a safety
valve.
The commission is also very earnest
in its advocacy Of the gold standard for
the currency of the islands and gives
strong reasons for the adoption of that
policy.
The senate's provision for large land
grants meets the approval Of Governor
Taft and the other commissioners rather
than the smaller grants proposed by the
house, though the commission does not
consider the senate plan liberal enough
to attract capital in sufficient quantities
20 insure any rapid development Of the IS
lands.
stubborn contest between the two
houses is expected, but a compromise Of
some sort will doubtless be effected at the
next session of congress.
