Republicans Solely to Blame.

A few Republican papers are pre-
senting absurd defenses for theirpar-
ty in the failure OF Congress to fur
nish relief for Cuba. They assert that
the blame rests mainly with the
Democrats. The responsibility is
solely with the Republicans of the
Senate and House. They had three
co urses open to them.
They could have agreed on Il bill
satisfactory to themselves and pass
ed it without the aid of Democratic
votes.
The Senate Republicans could have
accepted the House bill and passed it
without the aid of Democratic votes
in the Senate.
The Senate Republicans could have
p assed the Spooner bill with absolute
assurance that the House would
have sustained it by majority vote,
if not by a Republican vote.
Undoubtedly the President would
have approved any one of these
courses.
The obstacles were purely of Re-
publican invention. The beat sugar
Republicans refused to accede to the
Spooner proposal in lieu OF the pro-
vision in the House bill for the aboli-
ton of the differential on refined
sugar A faction OF Republican Sen
ators refused to countenance any bill
attacking the sugar trust. This fac
ton was led by Senator Aldrich, who
made the specious plea that there
should be no legislation for Cuba I'M
less it could be made Republican leg
islation, absolutely refusing to ac-
cept the proffered help of the Demo-
Gratis. This was not manifestation
of even ill-conceived party loyalty;it
was simply an adroit way ofprotect-
ing the sugar trust on the safe pre-
sumption that a solid Republican
vote in both branches could not be
secured.
The Democrats have been unitedly
in favor OF legislation for Cuba. One
of the most enthusiastic demonstra-
lions of the session was when Mr..
Richardson, the House leader, declar-
ed that the Democrats were willing
to remain in session all summer in
order to pass a Cuban reciprocity
bill.

 SUBJECT OF APPEAL
By the Secretary of State to
 the Powers
Responsible for the Creation of the State in Which the Cruelties Are Practiced Upon the Jews.

Washington, Sept 17.-With the dou- ble purpose of protecting the long suf- fering Jews of the Balkan states and of averting the ever present peril of im- migration into the United States of q horde of paupers, Secretary Hay has adopted the usual course of appealing to the powers of Europe to observe the obligations of humanity in the case of the Jews. The appeal takes the form of a state paper remarkable in several respects, which has been dis patched in identical form to every ann bassador and minister of the United States residing in one of the countries which were parties to the famous treaty of Berlin of 1878, namely, Great Brit ain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy. Austria and Turkey. marking the ter imitation of the Turko-Russian war and the creation by the direct act of the powers of the Balkan states.
 Because the powers sfe thus respon- sibe for the existence of Roumania. the culprit in this case, the secretary of state has directed a note to them in the hope that they will bring this gov ernment to a sense of it's duties toward civilization at large, as well as to cause them to ameliorate the frightful condition of the Roumanian Jews. In a measure this action by the depart ment of state may be traced to numer~ ous petitions from Jewish societies and humanitarians generally, as well as to the warnings of publicists respecting the growing dangers of the immigra- tion of degenerates.
