them ell there will be no doubt Of the success
of their second attempt at self-government
They owe il to themselves and the Cnltea
States to do so with full sincerity and with all
possible energy and perseverance.
The peril Of the situation lies in the existence
in Cuba of a small but too influential class or
professional men and politicians-perhaps we
might say of professional politicians. Some sons
of PROSPEROUS planters and traders nave Deen
educated for the learned professions OF SIM

selves as superior to mere trade; ana as the
professions are too crowded TO AFFORD them
adequate incomes they turn TO politics ana seek
DlIb1ic sinecures OF the vicious theory thaI the
state owes them a living. Such men ii the last
Cubsn administration drew their salaries as
members Of Congress while they habltually ao-
sented themselves from their places and neg
looted or refused TO do legislative work which
was essential 10 the efficiency and continuity
of the government Some Of the same sort now
affect TO resent Governor MagOons promtllga-
,ion of q law which is intended to prevent such
1,ractices and threaten to repeal it. 1t is to be
said frankly that the dominance or such men
v-ou1d be the ominous feature OF the Cuban SIT
nation if not indeed, the only disquietinS
feature in an otherwise bright and hopeful pros
meet. But it NAV be hoped that this small class
of men. practically confined to the large cites,
will prove impotent against the good sense ana

crBA,s CONDITION nD OUTLOOK.

The work Of Cuban Intervention and reha bill
eztion has now been performed completely and
psith unsurpassed discretion and efficiency All
parties and classes Of Cubans are enthusiastic
IN their expressions OF grateful appreciation of
Governor Aagoon and his work. He deserves
them all, and deserves also an equal measure
Of approval from the United States He has
done great work in great way and has en-
sisled himself 10 the lasting gratitude of both
the, countries concerned.
The good faith Of America toward Cuba and
toward the world has now for the third time
been atundantIy vindicated. Its first note
worthy Vindication was IN 1898 when an en-
tireiy gratlitous resolution OF self-denial was
enacted By Congress at the beginning OF our
arst Intervention in Cuba. The second occurred
q few months later in the same year in the
making Of the treaty of Paris, when our COM
tnissioners refused the urgent request of Spain
that we should disregard that act of Congress
and assume the proprietorshp of Cuba. The
third has now been achieved when after sec
opo necessary Intervention have restored
70 the CubaEs the autonomy which they for
feited. Such processes. could not of course
be Indefinitely continued and multiplied. But
sor eleven years. ia three major contingencies

fieaI appreciation OF Governor Magoon's work and

TRACTION CONTROL.

There is an Established principle that man

undesirable, of which the receivership of she
Metropolitan Street Railway Company, now
happily about 10 terminate. cannot be regarded
as a contradiction. What the street railway
system needs is a financial reorganization. and
that the receivers have been powerless TO effect.
While the roads have been in the hands of re
.eivers there has seemed to be no disposition on
the part of those whose natural duty it WAS to
assume the task of reorganiZng the Metropol-

A special reason exists. moreover, in this case
WHY it is desirable TO have the present bank
r7Int management succeeded by a and sol
vent one-namely in order that the anomalous
relation of the Public Service Commission TO
the property shall he ended. The regulation OF
n bankrupt corporation in the performance OF
a public service is obviously task requiring
unusual delicacy. and il was made peculiarly
difficult in this case because Of the failure of
the receivers 10 cooperate with the regulating
authority in that spirit which the Supreme
Court has recently pronounced eminently desir-
able The situation was becoming tense and
there will be general relief that II is soon to be
over so that the Public Service Commission
may deal with authorities whose position under
the statute will be perfectly clear; for the new
owners of the surface lines will stand in ex-
scfly the same relation TO the commission as
do the managers of the various solvent traction
interests in this city.
With regard TO the reorganization of the street

are aware this will be the first reorganization

But the influence of the commission will be
