The Sagasta “Reforms.” ‘The interest of the United States in the Cuban question is more than that cempre- hended in the mere pacification of the is- land at this time. That is important and desirable enough, for the war has been very expensive to this country in several wi But whatever is done to bring the war to a close should be done with a view to preventirg the likelihood of another out- brgak. Cuba will continue to be our neigh- bor, and will continue to trade with us. A disturbance in the future there occurring at any time will be felt here. It fs of the first importance, therefore, that whatever Settlement shall be seriously discussed at Madrid between Minister Woodford and the new Spanish authorities should take the future liberally into account. The present quarrel will not be wisely settled unless pains are taken to eliminate for the future all the causes which have contrib- uted to the bringing on of this quarrel. Spain offers autonomy to Cuba. But it is Spanish autonomy, and that is not such autonomy as Canada enjoys. Now Cuba, althowgh a Spanish colony, is on this side of the w. , and appraises matters accord- ing to their meaning, and appiicatton, and effect over here. Such autonomy as Cana- da enjoys carries a very liberal degree of progress with it. It enables a colony to build itself up and keep abreast of the de- mands of the times. In other words, it has been tried and found to be sufficient to in- sure geod local government. But who may safely say that this scheme of Senor Sa- gasta’s, which he brings forward so confi- dently as his solution of the Cuban diffi- culty, would have any such effect? The Cubans declare that it would not. They are familiar with the abuses which have goaded them to revolt, and their judgment as to the proper remedy must be consid- ered. There is also the point to be considered that the Cubans have no confidence in Spain's promises of any kind. She has broken faith with them so flagrantly and repeatediy, her credit is entirely gone. They do not believe that she would honestly de- velop even the little benefit that may be contained in the Sagasta “reforms.” So that, in the opinion of the Cubans, not only are the “reforms” themselves of but ttle value, but integrity of purpose on Spain's part is not behind them. It is of the greatest and most pressing moment that the war in Cuba should be stopped, but it is also of the greatest mo- ment that it be stopped in a way to insure against a re-opening of it. Would anything short of independence for Cuba accomplish that end? —~+-+___ An Unworthy Ins! mm. ‘The more the Canadian pretext for break- ing up the conference between Great Bri- tain, Japan, Russia and the United States on the fur seal question is examined the more trivial does it appear. The suggestion that is put forth by the dominion govern- ment as an excuse for the withdrawal of the home government is that in such 4 con- ference Japan, Russia and the United States would out-vote the British interests. This plea ignores the fact that the pro- pesed gathering was rot intended as a congress, governed by the rules affecting Such assemblages, with power to create or destroy agreements, but a mere conference of interested powers, planned to bring about a@ better understanding between them as to @ situation of common interest to all. Such @ conference, as was briefly noted in yes- terday’s Star, would bind no one of the Participants. If, perchance, as it was hoped, all four nations could come to an @grcement upon some point involved in the controversy, or perhaps upon all the ma- terial issues, steps could then be taken to embody such an agreement in a treaty. Otherwise, the effort to create practical Fesults would fail and the conference would be a mer> “experience meeting.” There- fore the talk that has originated in Cana- dian governmental circles about combina- tions of the votes of Japan, Russia and the United States has been based either upon a misapprehension of the circumstances or upon a deliberate intention to deceive the world. The Salisbury government will doubtless seek to cover this weak point in the case of Great Britain by standing upon the top-loftical ground of the lack of any right on the part of Russia or Japan to en- gage even in the discussion of the fur seal question, but this proposition is untenable in the face of the large sealing interests of those countries. The suggestion about a preporderance of votes in the conference, which implies that the United States has resorted to a trick to entrap Great Britain and Canada, is unworthy of the govern- meat at London. -— ee Uncle Sam’s Great and Good Friend. Queen Victoria's glocminess with regard to the future of the United States is prob- ably born of grief rather than of anger. She has hitherto given evidence of enter- taining a kindly feeling for the young na- tion, and it is of record that on certain oc- casions she has intervened as a power for good in determining the relations between Great Britain and this republic. Her in- fluence has, as a rule, been cast in behalf of moderation ard fair dealing with the United States, and it is impossible to con- ceive that now, in her advarced age, she has so changed as to feel bitterly toward us as a nation Her pessimism is easy to understand and readily to be accounted for under all the manifold circumstances, and there will be no resentment felt here be- cause this nominal ruler of the greatest empire on earch has begun to fear for the stability of the American form of gov- ernment. Her apprehension ts, in fact, an evidence of her friendliness, and it is to be hoped that her son, who has had a direct view of American conditions and personal contact with them, will also fall heir to this sympathetic spirit when he inherits the throne. —_+ « >] ____ Mr. Weyler is said to be at present en- gaged in scanning the advertisement page in search of the caption “Generals Wanted.” —————++2—___. Henry George, in his politics, appears to be more practical than in some of his so- cial theories. ———- + __ Two Interesting Letters. Two very eminent democrats have writ- ten letters bearmg upon the New York . Situation, and the public would be very glad to read both of them in full. One letter was written by Senator Jones of Arkansas to Serator Murphy, and on the strength of it, or rather on the strength of an extract that was published, the dem- ocratic state committee of New York felt itself justified in refusing to allude to the Chicago platform at the time it met and given to the deliverance of the chairman of the democratic national committee. There was some murmuring on the part of the Bryanites in the interior of the state, but, upon the whole, the state committee, with Chairman Jones behind it, acted as if it were altogether confident of is posi- The other letter was written. by Mr. Bryan to Col. William L. Brown, long a leading light in Tammany Hall, and had reference, it was understood, to the duty of Tammany im the municipal fight. There was the keenest desire felt to see the let- ter, but Col. Brown insisted. on treating it as a private communication. The popular judgment was that Mr. Bryan had advised a straightout declaration by.Tammany on the subject of the Chicago platform, but Col. Brown would neither deny tiot confirin this. As matters now stand, there appears to be a difference between the attitude of Chairman Jones and that of Mr. Bryan toward the New York democracy. Judge Parker is standing on practically no plat- form at all. He is almost suspended, as it were, between what the democracy de- clared for last year and what it may de- clare for in 1900, and Chairman Jones is as Tammany’s candidate for mayor of Greater New York, is standing on a plat- form framed expressly to ignore the lead- ing feature of the Chicago. platform, and Mr. Bryan is believed not to be looking with any favor on his candidacy. What are the real facts in the case? Did Chair- man Jones consent to a sneak in the state affair, while Mr. Pryan bias advised against such a course in the city affair? ——_~--__. A Summary of Dangers. The grade crossing showing made by Commissioner Wight in his interesting re- port cn the subject, printed last evening, Presents nothing wholly new in the sum- Imary of the conditions, for it has been known since the recent accidents at such crossings that the system of so-called pro- tection was far from being satisfactory or complete, yet it was advisable that the precise degree of danger should be official- ly set forth by a competent authority. The railroad company has given assurances of a willingness to equip the lines with what- ever safety devices the Commissioners may suggest, and not only ought this offer to be accepted, but there should be devised and put in effective operation regulations that will require and insure full perform- arce by the corporaticn. The railroad.com- pany in past efforts -to avoid the expense of these safeguards has sought refuge be- hind the proposition that inasmuch as. the permanent elevation of the tacks is now in immediate -contemplation there is litle or no need for the expenditure of consider- able sums of money for safety gates and watchmen. The community demands a complete system of protective devices at all crossings pending the construction of the proposed viaducts and then the via- ducts themselves. The promise of the lat- ter does not warrant any leniency toward the corporation in the matter of averting present dangers. Hence Commissioner Wight’s complete inspection of all the opened streets that cross the tracks at &rade furnishes a basis for definite action without regard to the possibilities of the near or distant future. These safety gates, with continuous service in their operation, would be needed at every point in the Dis- trict where a street or a road crosses the tracks at grade even if work on the con- struction of the tong promise viaducts were already begun, with the prospect of their completion within a year. ——~+o____ American Enterprise fm London. Among the features of The Star's litera- ry miscellany today will be found an in- teresting article from a special correspond- ent in London descriptive of the difference in the- trade miethods of the British mer- chants and manufacturers and of the Americans who have invaded British terri- tory. This difference, it would appear, operates entirely to the advantage of the Americans, who are rapidly distancing the Englishmen in their own field. The Ameri- can methods are characteristically brisk and enterprising. In the advertisement of wares the American has completely out- done his British competitor. The develop- ment of advertising in this country is one of the marvels of the latter part of the century and it is asserted that whatever has been done in England in the same di- rection is due to the imitation of American methods by those more active merchants and manufacturers on the other side who seek the causes of material results and profit by their discoveries. It is nationally gratifying to learn that the enterprise of the tradesmen and manufacturers from this side of the Atlantie has made an im- pression abroad, however seriously the phenomenon may affect the stability of cer- tain conservative British customs and tra- ditions. Incidentally it may be possible that Queen Victoria’s pessimism concerning the future of this country is due largely to her observation of the course of events in commercial London. A system of trade that defies all known fetiches so flagrantly as does that sample of American business now flourishing in the British capital may indicate to the mind of England's gentle ruler that there is something radically wrong with the people who have for years encouraged this course at home. ——~o+o—___. The Canadians, who do not propose to be outvoted, act on the positive conviction that in the international sealing conference no other nation could possibly be induced to indorse the fairness or the soundness of the British contention concerning the seals. ‘The Canadians ought tc know, and doubt- less their confessed opinion concerning the weakness and untenability of the British claim is correct. ———~++e—____ Liliuokalani cannot help regarding any disparaging remarks about the United States from European governments as a corroboration of her own ideas in the mat- ter.

One of the most conspicuous features of the American postal system for years past has been the typical blot on ‘the upper right corner of letters sent through rural offices. These blots, sometimes made with worn-out cancelling stamps, sometimes by cork ends, and often suspiciously resem- bling thumb-prints worthy of study by a Pudd’nhead Wilson, convey no information whatever to the recipient of such letters. The latter are entitled to know the starting point of their mail matter, the date of its posting and hence the length of time re- quoted as indersing that.

SHOOTING STARS. Recognized Exertions. “I am very much afraid,” said the gentle- man from abroad, shortly after he had landed in New York, “that you haven't a Stable form of government here.” “Well,” was the reply, “maybe you're right. But after the money Richard Croker spent on the turf, there is no doubt about his doing his best to give us one.” Candid Advice. “I do not like your country,” said The monarch transatlantic; “I fear that it has much to dread From ways that I call frantic.” Quoth Uuncle Sam, who heaved a sigh, “Since thus you view our nation, In your place, I would not apply For naturalization.” Dixcreet Accompaniments. “I don’t know much about that politi- cian’s abilities as a statesman,” remarked the worker, “but I know he’s a wonder as the conductor of a campaign.” “Maybe he is,” replied Senator Sorghum, “but I will state right here that he couldn't be conducter in my campaign unless a bell punch and a fare register went with him.” An Important Question. “Of course,” said Willie Wishington, “poverty is ho disgrace. Everybody knows that. But I'm afraid that friend of mine whom I brought with me is going to be embarrassed simply because: hé economizes on his wardrobe in order to pursue his studies.

Pioneer-Press. When Americans—however patriotic and however willing to indulge the sentiment of gratitude toward the men who periled life, health, and the welfare of their families in the nation’s deferse—contemplate the still swelling aggregate of our penston rolls, now mounting toward $150,000,000 annually, they may be pardoned if they seem inclined to assume a questioning attitude as to wheth- er all the legislation under which that tm- mense outlay is kelng made has been suf- ficiently well considered. This attitude has become more and more pronounced since it is seen that thousands of young widows are being added to the rolls, to take the place of the veterans who are dropping off, and whose pensions. which are for life, seem likely to prolong for another full genera- tion a Jarge part of the national burden hitherto so patiently borne. The bold stand taken by the present commissioner of pen- sions in objecting to this class of benefici- aries is looked upon with general commend- ation. While the people are willing—nay, eager—to save from want the women who sent their huSbands into the field in the critical days of the “sixties,” they cannot easily discern what claim the woman who has married an ex-soldier long after the war ended can have upon the nation. Mar- rying a veteran for the sake of getting a pension—a practice which has now become common—cannot be classed among the acts of patriotism for which pensions are usually bestowed. While in this critical mood, people are also inclined to push the question a little further, and to ask on what ground the government should continue the payment of pensions to people who plainly do not need them. Especially, why should prosper- ous and well-to-do men, in business and in the professiors, draw an annual stipend from the government, while other veterans who served their country equally well, or better, but who now find it hard work to make a living, receive nothing whatever, because ne rebel bullet happened to hit them, or because their health remained so good that they were able to serve their country to the end of the war without con- tracting a disabling or even a constructive- ly disabling disease? If the pension ie were Spee first'of e names of itviduals cwho are in no need Sot aid from the government to enable them to live in comfort, and sec- ordiy of all widows who have married vet- erans-since the war, the enormous burden Of pens‘ons which..thé | mx the. nation could per- haps then spare something with which to sweeten the last days and perhaps saye from the almshouse some splendid soldiers, who did grand service, but were not lucky enough to “get hit” while doing it. There is no doubt that the larger portion of the men now receiving pensions were good soldiers. We are glad to admit that all of them have deserved well of the gov- ernment. But the popular sentiment is that pensions should be bestowed, not to Match deserts, but to relieve ni . Where no necessity for relief exists the elaims of the man who was hit by a bullet or injured by disease in the service are no ey than Goat of his a who fought equally well and perhaps longer, but who went through the war without getting hit and with his health unimpaired. ¢ SO80 S960 6008 Hays you any Horses or oS Cattie To Feed?
