FOR CUBA'S FREEDOM.
Ex Minister to Spain Criticised the
President's Attitude
in Cuban Affairs.
MONROE DOCTRINE INVOLVED
President MoKinley Does Not De
sire any Interference From
Congress.
Spain's I'lan fur lie form aliaui,
JIod. Jliumia Taylor, exmlnieter to
Spain, has if i von out a statement to the
Associated Press, severely criticising the
president's attitude iu regard to Cnbau
affairs. J In suys:
"liittlng aside the irrelevant matter
by which it is encumbered, the substance
cif tho (inly recommendation oetually
uiuile by the executive to congress upon
that subject Ih thut this government
00 11 not, venture to do anything to put
an end to the inhuman strife which our
mg the Inst three years bun reduced the
Islund nlmoHt to a desert, because there
is a prospect of eettlomeut between tlie
combatants on tho basis of a socallnd
plan of autonomy lately put forth by
thsHagasta ininiHtry."
lie then point out that the autonomy
proposed by Kpiiin contains almost no
relief for the Cubans; that it Ih u mure
etiiiin. He urges congross to take Home
definite action. "Who will say" auks
Mr. Taylor," that all thejruits that the
Cubans have won through sword and
famine should in the hour of victory be
surrendered for an empty sham which
mean only new bondage under their
old and pitiless oppressors?
"And yet thin heartless, no I find mes
sage ha not one word of encourage
meiit or sympathy for this suffering peo
ple, now dying and starving by tbous
andH at our very doors. Iu it tho.v are
contemptuously denominated as no bet
ter than their persecutor. Fortunately
for the honor of thin generous Christian
nation this monnngo, with cool and so
rene cynicism, admit that it does not
represent the sentiments of the American
people UN ox preened by congress a year
ago in the joint resolution iu which both
bouse declared a state of war did exist
in Cuba and that it should bo so recog
nized by this government. Congress is
politely told to attend to Its business;
that if tho recognition of belligerency
eliall become necessary in the future the
exccutivo power will act without con
gressional interference, it is generally
understood that this deliberate eonepir.
acy to thwart the will of the nation is to
be carried out through an appeal to the
speaker of the house of representatives,
who ii expected to so manipulate it
rules as to prevent tho pannage of the
pending belligerency renolution, which
the neuate has already approved.
"There are limitn even to the patieuce
of the American people, and the time
han now come when the executive power
nhould bo made to fuel, through public
demountrutiou, that the nation will
no lougtr permit its novereign will in a
righteoun caune to be entirely net anide
in the inferent of a tremulous, selfish,
short-sighted policy. The whole con
tent now centers in the passage of the
belligerency renolution (wuding in the
houne. if that cannot bo carried then
nothing whatever can be done to end a
strife that ban been going on for flfteeu
yearn out of the I an I twenty-nine, if
the preneut adininintratiou propones to
indefinitely pumue uncertainty at the
cost of every business interest, it inunt
be prepared to suffer the consequences.
"If we scorn and npit upon the Cubans
until victory and Independence are won
without aid or comfort troin un why
should they not turn to one or the oth
er of the great maritime powers that
will be thou only too eager to supply
ail their wants and to enter into the
closest relations with them We have
for a long tuna declared no European
power other than Spain shall ever pn
m Cuba. Ws may no bluuder an to
bs forced to maintain that contention
at ths point ol then word. Outol such
pOMHible difficulties the way in now clear
and easy. lt the (wading Mligereucy

It will thus be seen that the renult shows
but slight change. But the republicans
lost throughout the state while they
gained largely in Douglas county, which
has throe eenators and nine representa
tives, and the gains in this county large
ly balance the republicans' heavy lone iu
other leginlatlve districts of the ntute.
At the lant election the republicans
carried tho following eenatorial districts:
Cuss, Douglas, Laucantor and Oage.
Tho bimetullints carried the remaining
twenty-six senatorial districts.
Of the repremmtative dintriets the re
publicans carried the following at the
last election: Kecond, Pawnee county;
Fourth, Johnson county; Heventh, Cuss
county; Tenth, Douglas county; Elev
enth, Washington county; Twelfth, Hurt

ton flountieM; Thirtieth, Lancaster coun
ty; Thirty-second, (lage county; Thirty
third, Uage uud Huluie couutiee; Forty
seventh, Hall county, Fifty-first. Hrown
county. The bimetallists carried the re
maining fifty-five representative dis
tricts. in 1H07 the republicans lost tho sena
torial district comprising Clay and
Hamilton counties, which they had car
ried ia 180(1; tho republicans lost ths
senatorial district comprising York and
Fillmore, which they had carried in 180(1;
tho republicans also lost the sen h to rial
district comprising Jefferson and Thay
er, which they had curried in 1800. in
1807 the republicans carried Cass coun
ty senatorial district and Douglas coun
ty senatorial district, both of which
they lost iu 1800. The republicans also
lost the district comprising Washington
and Dodge counties, which they had car
ried iu 1800.
At the 1800 election the republicans
elected seven senators outside of Doug
las county. At the last election they
would have lont three of these senators,
but their victory in Douglas county
counterbalances that Ions.
At the 1800 election the republicans
elected twenty-eight representatives out
side of Douglas county. At the lant
election they would have lost eiuhtof
these representatives, but the result in
Douglas county would have given them
an increased vote in the houne over the
last Hussion by one member. World
Herald. A DO NOTHING POLICY.
Republican Congressmen Will Try the
Faith Cure.
As the victorious Republican Henatorg
and Representatives weud their stately
way toward the national capital tuey
are intercepted at divers places by im
pertinent journalists with tue query:
"What are you goiug to do about the
Dingley law and the deficit it has pro
duced?" With one accord they respond
with impassioned outbursts of eulogy of
tbe law and promises that some magical
caune will in time make it produce a sur
plus instead of a detlcit. They would
handle tbe deficit as the President de
sires to handle the situation in Cuba-
wait awhilo and lot it get worse, lo
them such a guarded and qualified
promise concerning the revenue qualities
of the tariff law as that of the Tribune
yestorday "The nation's income is rea
sonably expected to answer its require
ments in the near future" is all suffici
ent.
While child-like faith in the miracle to
be wrought iu the near future may char
acterize the Republican majority, the
businens community may reasonably de
mand that Home more concrete correct
ive than the faith cure shall be applied
to a law which in the month of Novem
ber produced a deficit of nearly $8,000
OOO. and for the Ave months of the fiscal
year to date a nhortage of over $40,500
000. To meet this deficit with the cele-
brated "surplus" which Mr. Cleveland
left behind as the fruit of his bond deals,
or the funds coming from the I'nlou Pa
cific Railroad sale, is merely dodging the
issue.
There can be no hop of bringing ths
revenue and appropriations together by
Doouomv tor two reasous. ins a-
proiiriationa for this lineal year are al
ready int.ile.4tnd the entiuinten indicate
a deficit approaching $70,(iOO,tMHi. The
appropriations for the uext fiscal year
ais little likely to lie Uwnenml by a party
which atsua every hand evldeuor that
its complete control over ths tiovnru
meut la abortly to be wreeti from it.

In Wheeling, W. Va. the private gas
works were bought by the city many
years, ago, and paid for by ths sale of
bonds. All of ths bonds have been re
deemed out ol the profits on gas,without
levying one dollar on ths people, and the
public service Is now yielding a yearly
net income of about $25,000 to ths city
treasury, besides supplying the people
with gas at 75 cents a thousand. Ths
books of ths city for 1890 show that be
sides supplying gas to the people at tho
price named the city itself burned $0,000
worth in its own public buildings for
which it paid nothing. The $25,000
profit made on its gas receipts more
than sufficed to pay the entire cost of
lighting the city's streets with 450 aro
lights of 2,000 candle power each. It
thus appears that Wheeling is able to
furnish itself with electric light at about
$50 air lump, or less than one half ths
charge made by private lighting corpor
ations to other cities.

The touatit farmers of Texas are or
ganizing to resist tho demands of their
landlord who in spit of hard times and
low prices jMimlst in collecting cash rent,
Ths prevailing low prices of cotton have
made the farmers too poor to pay rent,

deprived of their teams, wagons ana
cattle, resulting In a condition but little
better than that which has existed for a
long while In Ireland.

IM the government take advautago of
Its option and redeem Its paper money
in silver as well as gold, and tho endless

Chicago Dispatch. '
Kll of Hawaiian Annexation.
Congressman Cannon, who bas been
visiting tbe Kandwich Islands, takes a
surprisingly rational view of tbs annex
ation question for a republican. He
thinks ths islands are of no value except
as a naval station, and believes that
annexation is merely a choice of evils.
It is to be regretted that Henator Mor
gan and other annexationists, who have
also visited llawull, see ths matter in a
different light, and unfortunately this
element will control the senate. Tha
treaty of annexation will probably be
ratified within a few months, and ws
shall then have to undertake ths pleas
ant task of keeping order among a het
erogeneous crowd of Asiatics, halfbreeds
and American adventurers 2,000 miles
from our nearest port. It will be a mar
vel if tven the most enthusiastic annex
ationists ars not sick of tbe bargain
within two or three years Iroin the rati
fication of ths treaty. Chicago Chron
