ISLE OF PINES AGTTATIoNs.

Some recent and current performances on and
about the Isle Of Pines seem difficult to explain
on any other theory than that of deliberate
purpose TO embarrass the United States govern
ment In the pursuit Of its ayOwed policy and to
cause more or less serious embroilments not only
locally on that island, but also between the
governments of the United States and Cuba 1t
is not agreeable to entertain such suspicious OF
American citizens. But then neither is it agree
able to have American citizens defy and de
nOunce the expressed policy Of their govern
ment in a delicate matter involving the relations
Of the United States with another country.
Whatever may have been the judgment ex-
pectatOn suggestion Of any one in or out
of authority at the time of the REIMBURSEMENT
Of Cuba by Spain, or at any time during the
American occupation OF Cuba, two fundamental
facts are indisputable. One is that the Isle
of Pines was, prior to 1893, invariably considered
and treated as an integral part Of Cuba. The
other is that, having secured the naval stations
it desires and needs elsewhere in Cuba. the
United States government has proceeded to full
I'll that part Of its convention with Cuba which
left the disposition OF the Isle OF Pines TO be
determined by future negotiations, and has by
virtue OF those negotiations coyenanted to re-
gard that island as belonging to Cuba. There is
at present before the Senate awaiting ratifca-
tiOn, which 1t should have received long ago a
treaty 20 that effect
Senators have a right 10 vote against that
treaty. Citizens have a right, In an orderly
fashion, to express their disapproyal OF it.

..rHE NATIONAL NIGHTMARE. >,

IL VIII surprise many millions of people TO
AAzrA from 'The Washington Post that the
country. or more particularly, the Republican
ta1y-the two terms have lately been almost
convert1ble-is suffering from what "The POST
calls "the national nightmare" AS defined.
doubtless by people who knew whereof they
wrote nightmare Is "a sensation In sleep resem-
'bling the pressure OF weight on the breast,
'iand deDrtEing Of speech or motion" It is
somewhat serious. therefore, TO learn from 1.-The
Post" that the Republican party is in this un-
comfortable situation, but the feeling gives way
70 one OF mirth as our Washington contemporary
describes the symptoms. II says the nightmare
has been induced by the question, "But who is
10 beat Mr.. Bryan?" and adds:
The @. o. p IS going around with lantern
hunting the man. Can Root do IL? Can Taft2
Can Corteyou? All of these, and others be-
sides. have had the lantern put before their
faces. and still echo retorts: Can anybody
beat Bryan but ROOSEVELT"
Now, 1t is possible, OF course, that the G. o. P.
SIS suffering from such a nightmare as that
which ~The Post" describes. and that The POST
and few others-chiehy Democrats we notice
are the only ones really awake and able to
enjoy the situation. II is possible also. that
the G. o. p. is wide awake, and that only The
Post" and a few others are suffering from the
nightmare sensation. Indeed, there are good
AShoOAe lOE pLeSuAllL1S tUaG the larrer SuDD0St-
fiOn is the correct one. The Republican fac
lions In Michigan and Iowa have settled their
party disputes among themselves in good ReDub-
lican fashion, and there is no sign that they are
troubled with uneasy dreams about Bryan or
any other Democrat The country at large is
in the enjoyment of unprecedented prosperity,
and so far has given no indications that it is
eager for changed conditions. OF course. il is
possible that. like Jeshurun. who, are told,
"Waxed fat and kicked" the country, having
waxed fat under Republican policies and ad-
ministrations for the last decade, may also
kick; but we do not believe ii will. It waxed
fat and kicked in 1892. and has been kicking
stself ever since by way of eXpiatiOn
We are strongly inclined. therefore. to believe
that THE Posts" remarks are Of the stuff OF
which nightmare dreams are made. The Re
publican party, by the sheer force OF leadership,
intelligence and principle, has gathered around
its ensign the great mass OF the people. Unlike
It's one time formidable opponent, IL does not

THE DELAY OF DELANY.

If Corporation Counsel DeIany does mt want
the general public to feel that the CfZy Club
is fully justified in denOuncing his conduct re-
specting the third elevated track in Third ave-
nue. as "a gross betrayal Of the citys interests, %
he should make amends for his long ineficiency
and really do something effective to stop the
use of public property by a company which he
himself says has no rights whatsoever in the
premises This is not a case of a reform Or
ganiZatiOn urging upon officials measures In
which the officials themselves do not believe.
1t ought not to be necessary for such bodies to
perform voluntary work for the protection Of
the public but it is a familiar fact that the
volunteer often sees abuses not visible to the
official eye. Something may be said for the
official who takes a different view Of the law
from his critics. even if it is a wrong one.
What shall be said however of the official
who believes just as fully as any private citi-
zen that the law is being violated, who officially
reports that public property is being wrong
fully appropriated, and yet in spite of repeated
urging does nothing to stop the misappropria-
ton?
Mr.. Delany has known all about this affair
from its inception. The railroad company ap-
piled for the third track franchise more than
year ago. and the application was denied by
the Rapid Transit Commission. Nevertheless,
the company went on without authority to build
the track, and Mr. Delany raised no hand to
protect the city's rights. though frequently
urged to do so. Finally the construction was
finished, and the company, when proceedings
were threatened. brought forward newly dis
covered charter obligation to build the track
an obligation neglected some twenty years. it
might seem 10 the forfeiture of the charter if
Ii exists at all. Mr.. Delany, we believe, says
there is nothing in this claim, and that the third
track exists without right, yet he takes no pro-
ceedings to Oust the trespasser 1t is time for
protests. If the company has rights, it should
be forced to establish them before a proper
tribunal If it is a trespasser, it should be
forced to give up what it has seized and pun
ished for it's insOlence in grabbing public prop
erty which has been denied to it by the authori-
ties

YAGE'S LOYAL SONS.
From The Yale Alumni Weekly.

II EJ4LA 4IAe lta4e A4ULlIuI w cehIy.
The feature of the commencement season OF 1906
at New Haven was the remarkable demonstrati ton
OF the effective strength OF the alumni support OF
the university. The fact which will stand out In
history as the salient fact Ot the last week OF the
university year was the addition TO the funds OF
the university or amount equal the income
az per cent from more than 100000. and this
made OF thousands of gifts of individual gradu-
ates, in sums ranging from 81 or less 20 probable
$1,000, but generally inside the $50 mark The
growth OF alumni support OF the older privately en-
dowed institutions has been noted in the news and
editorial columns of this paper in times and
the record of the commandments In this bears
this out Yale's system OF an annual alumni fund
contribution was the first regular method OF test
ing how effective alumni support could he Its
growth in recent years has surprised even those
who started IL and who most Sanguine in con-
necuon with II. 1t increased last year by 90 per
oent-to S5S.O9o-and before commencement week
OF this sum little more than $4,000 is TO be de-
voted to income the remainder going TO swell the
already large permanent endowment fund created
by this method of contribution.

though the good taste Of their organizing puoic
demonstrations against 1t or making appeals %
the President for the reversal of his policy may
well be called into question. But there can
scarcely be two opinions concerning the gross
indecency of their acting In a defiant and law
less manner on the island. as II 10 say that. no
matter what the United States government may
have done or may be doing or may do, they pro
pose to dragoon the island into this Union even
