The treacherous bund which exploded the mine undernenth the Maine signalled the doom of Spanish noverelBhty nnd sfaled the utiirnut for American Intervention. Inalienable Rights. The one bugbear In the Cuban piob lem Is tho widely prevalent fear that when the Cubans get their freedom they will not know what to do with It, Let us consider this point It mut be said of the Cubans enlist ed In the present Insurtectlon that they have shown niuny qualities cal culated to tecommeiid them to Amerl can coiiildenee. Tln.v ate of the I.alln nice and all people of that race ate mine mercutlal than Anglo-Saxons. In judging them we must bear this Inextinguishable ditleicnce In mind. Yet the Cubans have shown not only ardent but sustained patriotism; not only enthusiasm but "stlektoltatlve nes " They have equalled the Span laid in diplomacy, far surpassed him In geneialshlp and clung to their pui pose In the face of threat, abuse, pel suasion and bribes. They have saeilllcfd all that they had lor country and freedom, even to wives and babes, and .vet they have not given up. They have alllrmed their Intention to fight for fieedom until It Is won absolutely or the last man of tlvni Is killed with fnei to the foe: and while talk like this among the Latin nice Is otten to li. discounted, as pal taking of uncon-silou'- exaggeration nnd braggadocio, It hum be admitted In fairness to the Cubans In arms that down to this mo ni(nt. so far as the gieat body of them Is com erned, the boast is not different fiom the deed. In the sttess and sulferlng of a light such as they have mndc natural aptitudes are develoied and strong men evolve. This Is shown In the gtadual ihange which has come over the chaiacter of the insuriectlou. At first limited In membeishlp piinclpally to adventurers and men Impatient ot any restraint, the movement nas glow 11 until now the best fnmllles In Cuba ait lepresented among Its troop. Discipline, too, ha" gained In eilhleney The. mllitaiy genius of Gar 1 hi and the lelentless seveilty of Uoine7 have taken ragged and various elements and fii'-eil them Into an np ptoxltiintcly onleily whole mmh 11101 e ui deity and effective, all oberv eis agtee. than aie the tioops of Spain which ft run lime to time come awk waitlly against them. Tho adminis trative quality which can produce such impioveuicnt In the midst of the etiaoidlnary dHHcultles of this exliaordlnaiy war ought not to be without its value for good order In an ensuing- time of peace. Hesldes, peace would lnlng baik to Cuba all the 'leil Cubans whom war and poverty and fear of Spanish maltreatment have diiven into exlli ; and these men, highly eduiated as a mle and ripe in txpeilenie ani'. In judgment, would fuither lelnloice the influences which, after Independence. would tend toward stable government. The facts cited and deductions an nounced by Senator I'toctor upon this point are woithy ot confidence, both heiaii'-e of his own good Judgment and 11N0 In 'view of the fact that tils con clusions aie dt awn fiom Information Impai ted to htm by men of the first Importance who have studied the Cu ban problem on the giound for years. If we may estimate that -100,000 Cubans have lieen slnivett fir killed since the wnr begun "00,000 whites and 100,000 bliK'Us the population of the t-land would lenialr- on a lough estimate at the following: Cubans tpure whites), Tt'0.000; negities and Creoles, tOO.uOu; and Spaniards, ii'O.nrifi, jiot half ot whom have auv real t. laitel with the Cubans. Tho absence of a color prej udice In Cuba, the peaceful Instincts and general good natuie of Cubans and ncgioes alike, and the lapldlly with which the native Spanlaul lians fnims Into a Cuban in sympathy alter a geueiatlon's lesldence on the Island all go to show that tho general sus picion as to Cuba's probable career under freedom, while not wholly with out reason, is bused laigely on mlsap piohenslon. The unfitness of Mexico for self-government was fur worse when It became a republic, et It to day Is piogresslng steadily. The Cu ban at his worst Is better than tho Mexican at his worst: and the per t outage of Cabins fully qualified for a lepubllcan form of government Is linger in Cuba than the peicentnge of Mexicans so qualified was or evtn is in Mexico. As Senator Proctor ald: "The fear that If fiee tho people of Cuba would bo i evolutional y Is not so well-founded as has been supposed, nnd the con- uiiions lor goon sen-government aio far more tavoiable. The large num ber of educated and patriotic men, the gieat sactillces they have enduted, the peaceable tempei anient of the peo ple, white ami blacks, the wonderful prosperity that would surely come with peace and good home title, the large Influx of Ametlcan and lJugllsu Immigration .nut money, would all bo strong factors foi stable Institutions." The people of Cuba aie endow id by their Creator with certain tunllennblu rights, among which nio llfi, liberty, and the pill suit of happiness; and they ate at least entitled to have a lair chance to wotk out these rights Into government along their own lines and In puisult of their own Ideals. Captain KIgsbee has been promised the command of tho best battleship In tho American nnvy: nnd ns for Ocn eial Leo ho ought lo have anything he wants, from the United States treasury down.

They would lo false to the cause of humnnlty ns well as to their own If they should recede a halt's breadth. Tho president can profit by the ex pel lence of Senator Pioctor, which taught the preponderating eloquence of plain facts fnrts carrying Irresist ible recommendations on their fuce. The foreigner doesn't comprehend the Yankee chaiacter who thinks thnt t'ncle Snm would become- a party to the settlement of assassination, out rage nnd tyranny by mediation. The president doesn't need to make nny locommendatlotis unless he wants to. Congress evidently has 'em to burn. With the price of beef going up Just as tho price of milk begins to slide down It Is evidently prematuro to ci ovv .
