The vote In the Senate yesterday on the adoption of the Alien resolution about Gen. Rivera of the Cuban army is to be ataken into rious consideration. Not a vote was recorded against it, although twenty-one senators voted to refer it to the committee on foreign relations. Twelve wf these voted afterward for the passage of the resolutions, and the others either sat silent or took refuge behind their fairs. Their resolution is not a general declaration by the Senate in favor of rec- ognition of the Cubans as insurgents. It does not touch directly upon their international rights. [t merely takes cognizance of the possible fate of a certain commander who has been captureé in arms and who, ru- mor states, may be shot to death. The Senate declares that such an act by the Spanish government would be “a violation of the rules of civilized warfare.” This may be construed to mean that in the opinion of the Senate Gen. Rivera was a participant in a war. Therefore, according ‘to the logic of the resolution, war exists in Cuba. This assertion has been the in- spiration of more than one resolution which the friends of Cuba in both houses have tried to embody tn the form of con- gressional pronouncement, and there is a thecry that much could be expected from a declaration of this sort. If a state of \public war exists in Cuba the participants are entitled to recognition as belligerents. ‘This assumption would redound greatly to the benefit of the insurgents, who are to- Gay denied the rights of recognized con- testants. Senator Hale yesterday, when pinned down by the Senator Morgan, ad- mitted this much in reference to the con- dition of things in the island: “Oh, there is a conflict going on down there. There is fighting, more or less. There are no great battles fought tn that country. There is a condition of fighting there. I do not suppose that a state of ‘war exists in Cuba as would exist if two powers in Europe fell out with each other and declared war and went to fighting it but that there is a disturbed condi- that there is insurrection; that it has certain forms and that it is a guerilla fight, i have no doubt whatever. I do not think the insurgents conduct their war- fare after the manner that Anglo-Saxons conduct their wars, any more than the Spanish government does, nor as much 0." This is making progress. Some months go it would have been impossible to ob- tain from Spain's champion even an ad- mission that there was an insurrection in Cuba. He now acknowledges what is vir- tually a state of war, and also that the Spanish government does not conduct its War upon Anglo-Saxon principles. And in the face of these confessions a majority of the full Senate votes to declare it to be the duty of the President to protest, if the rumor about the shooting of Gen. Rivera proves true, against such a viola- tion ef the rules of civilized warfare. The President does not need such a hint. He has now in his possession enough infor- mation to warrant him in following the example set by Gen. Grant and in protest- ing that virtually all the acts of the Span- ish government since the present war be- gan have been in violation of the rules not only of civilized warfare, but of humanity and decency as well. oe The Selection of Mr. Roosevelt. Tne President's good judgment receives additional verification in the announcement of Lis appointment of Theodore Roosevelt @s assistant secretary of the navy. Mr. Rocsevelt stands today as one of the most vigerous men in American politics. He fs upright, conscientious, aggressive in fol- lowing out his convictions and beyond re- Preach. As civil service commissioner he did more than any other man to make the reform successful and permanent. To his strong will and good sense the nation today owes much that it has gained in the purification of the government. There was general regret here when he went to New York to take up the duties of police com- sioner, but it was felt that a man of bis caliber could not long keep out of na- tional place, and his nomination today to & position of importance proves the ac- curacy of this belief. It is such men as Roosevelt who create new standards and make them respected. His revilement by @he spoilsmen and disappointed politicians of New York on account of his work as oulice commissioner is a high compliment. oo In the Pennsylvania legislature an effort 4s being made to prohibit the insurance wf people under seventeen years of age, on the ground that it is a temptation to @varice to hasten the demise of the in- wured. The accusation is a horrible one to make against human nature and it is re- assuring in that connection to find that the iusurance companies whose losses under Bch 4 practice would be heaviest are fighting the measure. —— + ++ ___ It is to be feared that Cuba's only chance for rapid prosperity after the Spanish army leaves will be in a carefully managed geal-estate boom. = Local Election Results. Yesterday's local elections in several Btates will naturally give rise to much Bpeculation and controversy. Especially 1s this true with regard to the result in Ohio, where the democrats carried Cincin- mati, Columbus and Canton, with other gities, and polled a very heavy vote in Cleveland. This achievement will feather many silver shafts, and fire the hearts of the silver archers with enthusiasm. ‘The argument on the silver line is easily forecast. Here, it will be asserted, ts evi- Pence of a revolt against the party in Power. The people already regret the Werdict rendered in November. They see pow the error of their way. The prosperity @hat was promised in the name of sound gnoney and protection has not come, and ‘rill not come by those agencies. The peo- @ie, therefore, are turning their faces to- ward the other cause, and have seized the rst opportunity to record their change of Waith. They emphasize this change by turn- amg down the President in his own home, v. Bushnell in his home, Senator Foraker his home, and by pushing Senator Hanna dard in his home. It is to be doubted, however, if any per- panent advantage on strictly partisan lines been gained anywhere. Local issues ywere paramount everywhere. Combina ions were made which could not have been ‘made on financial lines or national lines of @ny kind. The nation’s interests had been attended to in November. The local inter- fests were to be attended to now. Local dnfluences, therefore, prevailed, both in the election of candidates and in the support pf them at the polls. Men who opposed ach other warmly in November worked Bide by side this time. ‘This method of conducting local cam- paigns ts growing in favor throughout the try. Municipal government is highly Repartaat and very dificult government. (Certain eminent writers make it the test of the success of free institutions. They assert that if the local governments are incompe- tent the general government, in the end, must fail. In this view of the matter nothing 1s more worthy of praise than the disposition evinced to secure the best local government on lines that seem to insure the best local results. And so it is that local tickets, as was the case in several places yesterday, are often composed of both democrats and republicans, who, for purely local reasons, have come together without regard to national matters to work for what they agree would be best for business reasons to be brought about. That yesterday’s results in Obio will add zest and interest to the state campaign there next fall is altogether likely, And when that ope there may be a revival of more or less vigor of last year’s issues and contentions. —____+ 0+ —___ England and Gree: There is evidence that the English lib- erals are watching thelr chances to em- barrass the conservative government through its connection with the coercion of Greece. In yesterday's debate the lib- eral leader almost openly intimated that a vote of censure would shortly be moved, and while the government may be strong enough to pull through such a crisis it Is by no means certain that an appeal to the country would not result in an overwhelm- ing defeat of the conservatives, who have been playing with fire in their game of ¢iplomacy in the eastern question. The Turk is probably the most unpopular ele- ment today in Great Britain. The Sultan is hated most cordially by the nation at large and it is a close call for any ministry to dally with him in their dealings with the other powers. The coercion of Greece is repugnant to the spirit of the British people, as it is repugnant to that of every civilized nation under these particular cir- cumstan-:es. There can be little doubt of the verdict of the English and it may be that the present government will catch the drift of public sentiment and withdraw from the combination that is fast drag- ging it into trouble. —_- +0 + ——_. It is Not Too Late. The Senate committee on appropriations has decided to retain in the sundry civil bill the item of $10,000 for the removal of the general post office to the city post office building. This decision, however, does not necessarily mean that the consol- idation will take place, for there seems to be reason to believe that the action of the commitice was based almost solely on its desire to get the bill passed without change to prevent debate. When the bill is a law it will be in order for Congress, should it so desire, to repeal the provision for the removal. The Postmaster General, it seems, has not yet reached a conclusion in the premises, and there is every reason to think that his wishes will be given great weight. So it is not settled, by any means. Indeed, it is beyond the probabilities that the building will be ready for occupancy by the first of next year, and thus Con- gress will have opportunity not only at this extra session, but at the next regular session, to put a stop to the inadvisable proceeding. —___< ¢e—____ Nothing will be neglected that may con- tribute to the success of the Queen’s jubi- lee.

It was not until she had a bicycle that my wife ever expressed any sympathy with me when I lost a collar button.” Worried. “I think,” said the philosopher, “that the office-holding habit has interfered with the prosperity of many a citizen.” “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum; pretty near interfering with mine. “I don’t quite see how.” “A man had gotten so strongly in the habit of holding an office I wanted that I was afraid I'd have to give up the chase.” “it came Overlooked. “April showers bring May flowers”— So the jocund poet sings, Noting not that they bring likewise Phthisis and some other things. Worse Than Faint Praise. “What's the matter with Van Dabbles? He looks as if he had the blues.” “He probably has. He has lost a great eal of professional prestige, though it wasn’t through any intentional fault.” “How did it come about?” “A lot of plain people who don’t know anything about technique or modeling or fereshortening came along and enthusias- tically admired his painting.” “Mebbe,” said Uncle Eben, “er small boy wouldn’ be so anxious ter copy de bad habits ob "is father ef de ol’ gemman acted like he wus gittin’ de same amount o’ in- J'yment out’n de good ones.” Circumstances.

Even then, unless the work ts com- pleted more expeditiously than the last one, it will not be made public before 1904. How would it do to take a rubber stamp and change the date on the 1890 census and have that answer for 1900, and then by be- ginning now on the one for 1910 that might be got out before the figures got faded. —_—_++-____ Cruelty to Birds.
