Congress in November.

An extra session of Congress called for
November would cause no uneasiness in any
quarter. The country would understand the
reason for 1t. Cuban reciprocity alone
would occupy attention, and several weeks
would probably be sufficient to dispose of
the problem. If not, the time devoted to
the subject would develop any new features,
and enable the friends of the measure to
apply themselves the more diligently at the
regular session. The legislators would not
be inconvenience. unless some of them
might complain of fatigue after the cam
paign.
The Cuban problem is difficult one, and
is growing more so. We have left the
Island in very embarrassing situation. The
people must have a profitable market for
their crops. and that market proper Is the
United States. The Cubans want to trade
with US. and want their trade. But they
must trade somewhere. and of course If not
with us then with our competitors across
the Atlantic. And yet, as we all know,
overtures from Cuba to Europe, or from
Europe to Cuba looking to such end
would cause a very unfavorable impression
in this country.
Our present role, then, is that of dog in
the manager. We refuse to help Cuba, and
would refuse to permit Cuba to help her
self We are standing between her and the
prosperity which rightfully belongs to her.
And, what aggrdvateS our Offense, we have
not the excuse of an enlightened selfish
ness. We at the same time injurng
ourselves. There is profit for US in Cuban
reciprocity. as well as for Cuba. This is
not a matter of assertion. but of demon
stration. The statistics which support the
statement are convincing. Some of the very
men who fought reciprocity only a few
months ago are now in favor of it. There
are senator's who opposed the proposition
In the form of a bill who now announce
their willingness to support it in the form
of a treaty.
At as early day as possible, and even at
some inconvenience to our public servants
IL necessary. this matter ought to be dis
posed Of Politicians both in this country
and in Cuba are using it for purposes of
agitation calculated to still further embar-
rass the two countries. The annexation
lists particularly are exerting themselves to
the utmost to push their scheme to the
front, and TO give to our policy the distinct
and repulsive aspect of starving Cuba into
a renunciatton Of her separate political ex-

to the goyernorshIp OF Pennsylvania to his
credit, would hardly be taken by the democ-
racy for its presidential candidate. On ma
tional issues Pennsylvania is republican by
a majority approximating a quarter of a
million.
Mr.. Watterson speaks under the diseour-
agement of harmony dinners. This is no
time for either dark horse or a short
horse. His party should enter for the race
two years hence the best horse on its string
one with a record and a pedigree. Drop
ping the figure, it should put up its very
best man in 1901, and write a platform
carrying but one meaning. There are two
reasons for this. In the first place, the
republicans will have in Theodore Roosevelt
a candidate known of all men. and standing
for something very definite in our affairs,
and the platform of course will be the
party's record In the second place, the
countrys affairs are now so far-reaching
and important they should not be intrusted
to the direction of an obscure and mex
perienced man who as chief magistrate
would have to go to night school to some
party boss in order to learn the ropes and
make the acquaintance of his party asso-
ciates.
No man has lamented more eloquently or
earnestly the democracys choice of Grover
Cleveland for leader. Mr.. Watterson has
characterized that choice as a great mis-
take. MIR. Cleveland was taken in 1884
largely because he had no national record;
and both his party and the country suffered
severely as the result of it. In advising an
other hunt for a mere winner. is not Mr..
Watterson showing a forSetfulness of his
own reading of history?

promise and there will be no strike.
This decision treasures more than the

circle. Such a strike would have possibly
disastrous effects upon other interests. The
congestion of traffic directly caused would
of itself violently disturb New Yorks BUSH
ness. The mere contemplation of this pos
sibility of the shutting off of the elevated
railway facilities permits a realization of
the extent to which New York and its sub
urbs are dependent upon the lines Of rapid
transit. 1t Is not easy to imagine those
lines all shut down and the hundreds of
thousands of people daily carried by them
compelled to ride in the surface cars or to
walk Distances are so great in Manhat-
tan and the surface equipment so made
quate that even with the elevated running
at it's utmost capacity travel is never other
than uncomfortable, and at times is posi-
lively dangerous. The managers of these
lines therefore owe a duty to the community
in adjusting their relations with their en-
ployes and 1t Is gratifying to find them
now willing to compromise differences In
fair spirit rather than risk the intolerable
disadvantages and dangers of a tie-up Of
