The democracy has always resolutely taken extreme ground in that di- ction. When in national convention, it ! that the action taken both with re- spect to the ticket nominated and the plat- rm adopted shall be binding. And so in transacted without serious challenge by the minority. And of course this action will not bind tne minority of the next House except in the way of precedent. There wili be caucus action by that House as there has been by this. It is a case of every tub standing on its own bottom, But that simiar action will be taken by the minority of the next House fs reasonably to be expected, and it is with regard to the business of the next House that the mat- ter deserves attention.

Calixto ia under the existing cireumstanc or thirty years this man strove to secure the freedom of Cuba, his native country. He struggled through two insurrections, involving un- speakable hardships and privations, and for 8 he was virtually a prisoner exiled from Cuba and under police surveillance. His first thought was for bis country and hjs coun- trymen -d of great military quali- fications and unbounded courage, he eag- erly accepted the opportunity offered at the outbreak of the revolution which eventually wrought the freedom of Cuba and was once more in the thick of the strife in the island. He soon became a figure of the first promi- nence, of practically equal consequence with Gomez, and, through the last days of the war, in a commanding position beca of his relations with the Americans. constant Posses And now the struggle is over. Cuba is free. The insurrection has succeeded with the aid of the United States. The goal for which Garcia and his compatriots have tought for so long h_s been reached. Chosen to head a delegation to consult with the this matter of legisiation before the House of Representatives, it is now decided that within the mits prescribed caucus action shall be binding. There was, however, little need of this ac- tion with respect to the business of the Present Congress, which is likely to be American authorities as to the future gov- ernment of the island, Garcia came to Washingten to meet his death. He was easily among the leaders of his people. and grave responsibilities rested upon him. He was about to open negotiations with the deliverer to secure good and stable govern- THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1898-16 PAGES. ment for the Cubans, and it was believed that he would be chosen for high honors in the future administration of affairs. Garcia’s death comes, then, just at the dawn of the career for which he has so ardently longed and bravely fought for three decades. That he should have been spared from death on the battlefield or in prison to die from disease at such a time seems the irony of fate. It is a serious loss to Cuba. Garcia was essentially a soldier, and his successes were all those of a fighter. But he showed qualities of the head, which promised that he would prove a man of strength In the trying days of re- organization and peaceful government. Cuba's troubles are by no means ended with the evacuation of the Island by the Spaniards. She has now to learn the lesson of self-government, and has need of the services of her best and wisest men in this crisis. Gen. Garcia’s hold upon his people was strong, and it 1s not to be questioned that he would have proved to be a factor of value of holding them back from folly. Of course, this death will not set back for more than a short time, if at all, the pro- cess of adjustment now beginning which ts to bring order out of the upset conditions in the island. Other men will assume the burden which rested upon Garcia’s should- ers and will press the work. But the na- tion which liberated Cuba, which sympa- thizes with the people so long subject and now free, which glories in such records as that of Calixto Garcia, will mourn with Cuba for the loss of a man who commanded respect and admiration and Jove for his un- flinching patriotism. High honors should be bestowed upon his name by both coun- tries. The new tie that binds the people of the United States and Cuba, the tle of biood shed in the cavse of liberty, will unite them in this sad office of expressing the grief which is caused by the death of a strong. true man. ——- Washington has had a good deal of win- ter weather this season.

There is reason to hope that in the future the occupation of the lobbyist will be lost. Great corporations have discovered that they cannot trust these agencies, that they are betrayed and plundered by them.
