A Welcome Policy.
Two voiy welcome steps have, It Is
said, been decided upon by Hie new nd
mliilstnUltin with jefeiencu to Cuba.
Ono Ik the jliitlonliiir of a wuisltlp nt
Havana; the othei Is the wlthdiuwul of
the vessels now dolus? pollee duty for
Spain uloiiB the Floilda uoust.
It should be umlei stood that this eon
teniplatud uetlon Invcdves no satietlon
nf the wanton lolatlon 1) our citizens
of tlru neiltiullty law. All pel sons
caught In such loltitluns will be piose
eute'l to the fullest etent of the law.
WJ ml' bound as a nation by solemn
tieaty to pioieed against llllbusteis
and to pieU'tit, when possible, coti
yplraeles on this oll nsalnst u power
with whom our lelatlous aie at leabt
nominally filendly.
In this connection It may ho doubted
if the piesldeilt will at piesent feel
called upon to eeiele clemency In the
cno of Captnln John D Halt, the own
er of the llllliuster M!sel. the I.auiada,
Who has lecently been belitenced In the
United States dlstilet com t to two
yens' impilsuiiment anil $r00 line. Cap
tain Hint wa justly comlclucl aftel a
fair and Impaitlal tilal. As Judge
ltutlur said to him when Imposing sen
tence: 'The ollense Is a eiy giae
one. It Involves national lionoi nnd
national po.iro. You onteied upon it
with our eves wide open, with a full
know ledge of Its gialty. You did It
for the unwoithy put pose of pecunlaiy
guln. You took the llsk for tlie pi Ice
and you must now uenr the coti'-e-quences
1 do not bellee jou belong to
the crlnilnul elapses, and I am sort I
have gut to punish jou. At the time
jou committed the offmse the law was
well known, and it Is the duty of the
couit to soveiely punish ou." The
ptesldent cannot well Intel feie with the
pecutIon of this sentence; ut least, he
cannot suspend it, later on, If the pils
oper shows good behavior, he might
pel haps be justified In shortening it
But it is no pnil of this gooinment's
duty to employ detectives to feiiet out
evidence against lllibusteilfig expedi
tions befoto they set ull 01 to become,
nS It wrie, a p.uti.san of Spain in its
w at fat c on Cuban llbeity. It is in duty
hound to punhii Solutions of law, by
whomsoever committi'd, but that Is all
The extent to which its lesouices have
in the past "been used In Spain's behalf
has, it is believed, unci stepped the line
of irtlr neutiality and coiiMttuted a Just
cause ot complaint both foi Cuba unil
for the people of this count!) , against
whose anient sympathies It went tli
lectly counter. Xo such complaint will
he henid dttilng the future if the policy
now agieed upon by the piesldent .shall
be put Into eecutlon. lie will, ns un
official, be neutiul as between Spain
and Cuba until foiced to act othoiwl'-e
In older to pi elect Aineilcan Intel ests.
When so fotced, we believe he will act
piomptly and In a manner not open to
mistake.
As lias been lepeatedly pointed out,
the stationing of a wnishlp in Havana
hai bor will not be an act ot belllgeiency
but meiely a eustonmiy piecauilon. It
will be Spain's fault If It .shall lead to
the necessity foi other win ships to keep
It company. The one sine thing Is that
Aineilcan citizens me to be piotected.
One who eaies to discover the full
dlfleience between a man of the people
and a cleinugoguu can do so by euii
ti anting William McKlnley with his
late competitor.
Too Much Crowding
AViltes Hany Hall- "I'ltsldont Mc
Kinky has completely cuptuitd Wash
ington by his simple, democratic wu.s.
For the flibt time in yeais tlieie Is a
piesldent heie who is not afiald to go
out on the stleels like other people, en
joy a quiet walk altei the labois of
the day and letum the filendly saluta
tions of the passeisbv with pleisant
dignity. Then the white house guaul
of police has been discontinued, and
theio are evidences all aiound that
the piesldent doesn't Intend to coop
himself up In aolltuiy state, ns did his
piedecessor, giving audience to but few,
and then chilling those select few Into
unfilendlinegs. No man evei lost so
much in the estimation of public men
of his own pnity and of the people gen
eially as did Piesldent Cleveland by li
ridiculous exclusivoness duiing his lust
teim. It led hugely to the biench be
tween him and most of his paity lead
ois, and gained him no tiieiulH. It Is a
good sign for the success of the new
adminl-tuitlon that Piesldeilt McKln
ley hns taken an entliely dllfeient
coui.se."
Tlicie- aie many good signs In connec
tion with the McKlnley admlnlstiatlon
and oncof the best Is that thcie seems
to boa geneial disposition on every side
to co-opeiate for Us success. Yv"e doubt
if evil tlio Uryan Demoeiats In Wash
ington would lift a hand to obsttuct
the carr.vlng out of the piesldent's pol
icy. Thcie will be, poilmps, a peifuuc
tory show of opposition in the house,
especially over the new tai Iff-Just
enough to maintain paity lines. Hut it
will be stilt tlj "piofesslonal"; a pait
f the htiiKu "buslnesh" o politics. In
their own lieaits the mlnoilty membei.i
kuuw thut McKlnloy's election was for
the best, that the election of Hiynn
would, even fioni Urjan's own stand
point, have been in consequences n ills,
uppoliftmont and a mlstako; and that
the plain common sense ot the people
hab again asseited Itself for the wel
laio and possibly also for the salvation
of Ameilcan Institutions.
The ono thing now to be feaied is that
I'lOHldent McKlnley will cany his amia
bility to the point of Injiuy to his
health. The vnm crush and jam of
people to seo him must involve ti tio
niundous stiain upon his enduiancc.
Perhaps this rush will abate In a few
days, it Is a natuial I paction fiom the
foui t"in yeuis of flpvelanillsm. Hut
It inii't be held In check On thl' point
Colonel Hnll leaBsurlngly (-ays that
"with all his disposition to be tip
piiuiclnble fi'id filendly, It does not
follow that the president Intends to dp
vote his time wholly to healing the ip
(lllcsts of ofllce-bteUeis, While he ipc

Taken in connection with the nils
w oi th bill to make It a misdemeanor lor
an) li'-wspipei to pi Int a poiti alt with

appear to indicate a gi owing feeling o'

to lestialn the vlclousness of this stjle
of Journalism by law, except wheie
thcie is palpable libel or obscenity, and
the one hope ot letoim lies In the good
sense ot the leading public Itsell, but
It is a significant indication that the
