President's Message on Cuba. President McKioley gent to Con gress Ibursdiy brief but possibly momentous message. It is expressed in few words, dispassionate but di rect, and refers to our duty as a na tion to afflicted Americans residing in Cuba. These citizens Lave been compelled to leave their homes by a military order, and conceutrate in camps where they are insufficiently fed and sheltered, and where disease and hunger are doing a deadly work. The President calmly states the fact, remarking that the local authorities in Cuba are unable to relieve the want:) of our citizens if they would. CnDgrese is therefore asked to appro priate not less than $50,000 for the relief of these citizens by furnishing them supplies, and also enabliup them to return to the United States if they desire to do so, and lack the neces sary means. "The agricultural classes," the President says, "have been forced from their farms into the nearest towns, where they are without work or money." It is a simple statement, but involves much of im portance by implication. Kimple as are the words, and con fined to the mere mention of a fact, they bring Spain face to face with the truth that her military policy in Cuba is cruel and unusual. The con demnation of the policy is within it self, and not in providing for its re dulls affecting the lives of our own citizens. Gen. Weyler's military operations in Cuba up to this time have failed. He has not forced a battle, which is the essential part of a soldier's business when commanding a largely superior force. His line of works, reaching entirely across the island, has been practically useless. His treatment of wounded and other prisoners has been merciless. Now his concentration order, aimed at the innocent and at the uon-combatant, is turning Cuba into a vast grave yard. The President's message pro poses to shelter Americnu citizens from this atrocious decree of desola tion. If Spain finds in the message an arraignment of her course it is be cause to refer to it in any way oan have no other effect. The arrogant and the cruel always defend an infa my by demanding silence. When questioned recently about the suffering resulting from his con centration order, General Weyler is said to have answered, "I intend to save this soil for Spain." The avow al means that to reach this end he will use any means in his power, no matter if the people are exterminated TTtue island made a desert. This is savagery. No nation is at liberty to set aside the rules of civilized war fare. Spain is persecuting the inno cent and the helpless in Cuba in or- der to overawe the insurgent fighting material. The expulsion of the wives and children of the insurgents irom tneir homes is not civilized war The concentration of the farming class in camps to starve out the re bellious is a measure of extreme cauelty without defense. The appro- nriAttnn afilral k. . V, ; 1 1 i , vv Uj mo uicHBge whj De placed in the hands cf the State De partment for distribution, and the at tituds of Spain in regard to the niea sure of relief remains to be seen. Its own policy is to create suffering io Cuba, not to relieve it. An Ohio girl has been bleeping for twenty days. No Ohio man has slept that many days since Mr. McKinley'g election, unless he has already got his appointment. The entire revenue of Cuba in its most prosperous days would fall $1G, 000,000 short of paying the interest on the accumulated war debt. Hut Spain coutiuoes to wipo out the re sources and population of the island she has failed to govern. Ex-Senatok Peffeu, who is edit- iug a paper in Kansas, suggests that railway freight rates for any given weight should be the same, regardless of distance. Mr. Peffer should con duct hjs subscriptions regardles of time and report the result. Peru has decided to abandon eil ver as a money of the same power as gold, aud now it is purchased and used iu that country as any other commodity. The National Govern ment received a copy of the official order of that government through its accredited minister last week. An other knockout for silver. The Tariff In Iho Senate. The tariff bill will occupy the cen tre of the stage in r lie Senate this week aud until finally disposed of When a final vi.te will be reached cannot be said with certainty, though the prospects are fair that it will be reached in a month or six weeks at the latest. Tho Democrats have de cided to make no eel speeches. They realize for a wonder that the people want the new bill passed. They have decided to make their principal fight against the internal reveaue features of the measure. They will oppose the increase tax on beer and tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. Their chief criticism will be directed, as it was in their caucus last Saturday, against ihe increased tax on beer. They will, with the demagogism which seems to be native to a Democrat, put this op position on the ground that beer is "iho beverage of the poor man." They ought to know enough to know that iho proposed increase of the tax on beer is so small that it will not af fect the price of that beverage to the consumer. Its defeat would be only to swell the profits of the brewer. The humbug of their plea is shown n the fact that thoir leader, Mr. Gor man, proposed to tax tea and coffee instead of beer and tobacco io order to raise enough revenue to make the Wilson bill satisfactory. His tender ness for beer and tobacco, cigars aod cigarettes, looks very singular in the light of his willingness to tax tea and coffee. In spite of Democratic demag ogism the tariff will be enacted into law. It will bo a measure that will afford sufficient revenues for the Gov ernment's needs and at the same time give to the industries of the United States the protection necessary to cause them to flourish ns they did be fore they were stricken by the deadly blight of the Wilson act, that Demo cratic measure hailed and proclaimed as the initial step to the adoption by this country of the British free trade system. Philla. Inquirer. Got the. Marble Heart." Bob Fitzsimtnous, the champion pugilist, is on exhibition at Washing ton this week. Ha has divided pub lic attention with Cuba. When Hil ly Mason was to make his Cuban speech he gave Fitz a ticket to the reserved gallery and then had the pa pers publish the fact. Mason's crit ics say he did this in order to insure a large audience. Bob has been a visitor to the differcut departments. When he reached the State War and Navy building he expressed on over powering desire to see Secretary Sher man. The letter's dusky messenger carried Bob's message to the Secre tary, who directed that he be ehowu into the office. Bob pulled off his hat and slouched across the rooui with his baud extended, a smile on his foce, and evidently prepared to give and receive a warm greeting. As he approached Secretary Sherman the latter wheeled in his chair aud looked steadily aud coldly at the man of might and mueslo. Bob's hand was slowly dropped to bis side. The smile fled from his face. He bocame uneasy and constrained. He sank into a chair. Instead of the warm hand he had received the icy stare. He froze under it. Finally ha f gaeped with an effort: "A fine day, Mr. 'secretary." Mr. Sherman said : "A fine day." His cold gaze never left the ch impion. Without attempt ing another word Bob slowly rose and shuffled uneasily out of the room. Outside, with the door closed behind him, he shivered, shook himself and muttered: "Well, I'll be banged.' Washington Cor. Phila. Inquirer. Several of the Bryan papers al ready sceut ia the near future a sur plus of daugerous proportions. Re publicans appreciate the compliment, and will see that the surplus is not too small. Massachusetts makes an annual appropriation for improved state highways, and the amount to be ex pended this year is $00,000. The money seems to come bak on the tax duplicate without much de lay. There are said to be more Kus- eians in Constantinople than was ever known before iiur1 their signs are go ing up everywhere in the business quarter. The Sultan will fiud the Czar's subjects, harder to nxpel than the Greeks. Ohio routed the greeubackers un der William Allen in 1875, and the silverite fusion of last year. But the silver Democrats will try it again next fall under the leadership of two millionaires, McLean and Sorg. The idea seems to be to overturn a sound money state by purchase.
