Ing a purpose on the part of (
to retaliate upon this country because
of our taiilC and p.utieiilaily the differ

signed to be retaliatory. Obviously our
government NNill have to determine the
intent fiom the policy pursued , as the
Got man govoinniont will of coui.io dis
claim any puiposo to retaliate.
Thou * Is reason to believe that Presi
dent McKlnloy will o\oiclso the antlioi-
ity given him by l.uv If ho .shall become )
convinced that the discrimination
against Amoilcan pioducts Is meant to
bo retaliatory. The hnv of 38)0 ! ) pio-

Cuba received conspicuous attention
III the United States senate yesterday.
There were i evolutions for recognl/lng
belligerency and for rex-ogulxlng the
independence of the republic of Cuba ,
accompanied by statements as to the
ten Iblc condition of affabs In the Island
and declaring It to bo the duty of the
United States ( o demand that the war
ceaso. It Is quite iMisslblo that the sen
ate will pass some ono of those resolu
tions , peihiii > s that which calls for the
iccognltlon of Cuban Independence , but
if that Is done It will amount to nothing.
The .senate has expressed Itwlf In 10-
gard to Cuba , in the foi in of resolutions ,
several times , but without any effect
whatever. What sense , therefore , is
there In Introducing such resolutions as
those of Senators Cannon and Mason
when it Is absolutely certain that if
passed nothing would bo accomplished ?
Why not leave this matter entirely to
the judgment and discretion of the piosl
dent , whose prerogative It is to iccognl/.o
belllgeiency or Independence ? We be
lieve a gioat majority of the American
people have full confidence that 1'icsl-
dent McKlnloy will deal with the Cuban
question w Isely as ho has done thus far ,
nnd they do not appiino of those con
gressional declarations which can be
productive of nothing , unless it be to
keep alive dlstinst and appiehonsion.
Congress should lot the Cuban question
alone , since it is powotloss to do any
thing boiimd oxpiosslng Us opinion.

como to bo a habit with some peisoiis to
bo\N.iil the lost opportunities of the past
and to point out how often they might
have Ih'en rich had they bill Known the
fntuio in stoio lor the once wild west
This is a bad habit because It leads to
the Impiesslon that theie aio no mori
oppoi ( unities for suctvss In the west and
for this reason ought to be laid aside as
dislo.N.il and uncalled for. Kvon mm a
number of Indian reservations me about

beds of rich minerals. New mining
camps are being opened every year. The
towns and villages of the moiin'tains and
piains are becoming cities , inanufaolur-
ing is niONing westward , litigation
ditches are being constructed , i.iilioads
are extended the whole UansniKsIssIpp ;
legion teems with life and activity.
The west is loday the most icsouicefiil
undeveloped region of the world. The
rewards of Industry and honesty are as

Those are the facts that should be made

The session of the Rrltlslr P.iillamont
which opened .vosteiday does not prom
ise anything of gieat Importance. The
so-called speech of the queen , prover
bially dull and nnlnstinctlve , Is chlelly
notable for Us silence In legaid to the
iffalrs In the far oast. It begins with
the assiuanco of friendly lel.itlons with
oth'r PONNOIS , a .statement , that admits
of qualification , foi theie Is good reason
to believe that neither Itnssln nor Ger-
nany is really friendly to Great Hiitnln.
1'lie absence of any lolVioiico to affairs
In China shows that the situation theio
s still unsettled and may fairly be re
gaidod ns Indicating that the liiltlsh
government Is not confident of th > suc
cess of Us policy in that quailcr , for if
t w'oio so It would not Keep llio Hi Utah
nibllc In suspense. The obvious Infor-
MKM Is that theio aio still possibilities
of grave double In the Chinese question ,
In rogaid to the dopiesslon In the
West I miles , duo lo the low pi Ice of
sugar , th > speech promises relief to Iho
ulunlos ami expresses the hope that the
ounUlcs NNhlch pay sugar bounties will
jbolish them. This seems a rather 10-
naiKahlc position for the Hiltlsli gov-
inin nt to lake In view of Ihe fact that
ho bounty system enables th" HiltUh
coiiHiimeis of sugar to buy that article
it a lower pi Ice limn Is paid by Iho con
umers In tlie conntilos that pay bouu-
! os. Why the goveinment should desire
he abolition of a system that bonellls a
ast majoilly of Its people , In the Inter
est of the hiigar giowors In Its West
iidla colonies , it Is dilllcnlt to under
lain ! . It Is not probable , however , that
ho sugar bounties will bo abolished.
It appears that the govoinniont has
concluded lo Increase thoaimy and will
isl ; a llboial appropiiatlon for this pur-
ioso. While vast sums have been ex
tended in building up Gioat Hilt.Un'.s
nival power the army ha.s boon nog
ectcd and military men have be-on vig
orously urging that moio intention bo
given to the military establishment. It Islet

lalm The Imposition of an educational test
such as IhLi mcasiiro contemplates would , of
course , keep out a few thousand Illiterate
icasauts from the sunny land of Italy mid
lie transdauublan provinces of Austria , but
so far as affording protection against the
cally vicious classes of nurrjio Is concerned ,
t would prove little niece than a farce.
utperlpnco has shown that a largo percent
age of the ix-arantry of Hurepo that seeks
aslum In America Is essentially honest and
oduatrlous. If they are Ignorant , they are

epccsslon and oppression Uavo mule them
vlut they are and It 111 accords with our props -
ps > slona of liberty to drive the nprcsied from
ur doors when their pnly offento Is an Ignor-
nco for which they ore not responsible ,
The danger of illiteracy Is not to bo da-
iled , but the adjocfltes of an cductitlona ]
cst greatly magnify It. They forgot that
lundreds of thousands of Illiterates have
ound their way jo the Unftod States and
n nplto of their Inability to read tlio cont-
tltutlon have llye'd peaceable and Indus-
rioiiH lives 'Ihuy fprgut that the children
f such Immigrants are being subjected to

vcrlook the fact that out Immigration

hat a little learning In the hands ot the

It Is not necessary to deny that lllltoraey

haracter of the I nlgo bill No thoughtful
icihoii will underestimate the Importance
