The Presidency of Cuba. The people of Cuba would do well to "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" the letter which Senor Estrada Palma has addressed to Senor Kigueredo on the sub¬ ject of the Cuban presidency. It shows a clear insight into the whole Cuban situa¬ tion. and is at once a call to duty and a warning. The Cubans may see by reflect¬ ing upon its suggestions not only what is essential to success In inaugurating inde¬ pendent government for themselves, but how swift and certain failure will be if they neglect or refuse to work together at the start for the common good. Govern¬ ment by parties is a good thing, and party contests are necessarily spirited and some¬ times acrimonious; but intense party spirit cannot be indulged in at the inception of governmental enterprise without Injury to everybody. "United, we stand: divided, we fall." The Cubans would do well to believe that unless they unite on some general fea¬ tures of government they cannot hope to stand at all. The fact is that again, at this time, the Cubans have need of some of the spirit of concession to one another that character¬ ized them at the time of the armed revolt against Spain. There were different views prevailing then as to the best plan of pro¬ cedure. but they were compromised into one workable line of action: and that was adopted, and it led to success. The com¬ mon enemy was of more moment than the opinions of any one leader, no matter what the measure of his devotion to Cuba. And so there is the necessity now for a compro¬ mise of views on the subject of the new government. The common good ought to be of more moment than the opinions of any one leader or set of leaders; and if that Is not ascertained In a spirit of toleration and concession, and a plan of procedure adopted which shall insure harmony be¬ tween the executive and the legislative de¬ partments in starting the wheels to turn¬ ing, Cuba's future will not spell prosperity. Nothing is more safely to be predicted than that. Senor Palma speaks modestly of his own abilities for a man who has lived for some years in the United States and been in con- i tact with our politicians. There is no I leader in either party with us who does not feeL himself equal to the duties of the presidency of the United States, and is not willing to offer bond for their faithful and successful performance. But Cuba is not America, and Senor Palma knows his own people. . > » I.nwnon and Ilia Boat. The decision of Mr. Thomas Lawson to destroy his yacht Independence in case she cannot obtain a contest with craft of her class sailing under the colors of the New York Yacht Club does not strengthen the position of that gentleman before the public in the matter of his unfortunate contro¬ versy. Mr. Lawson has built a racing craff which has developed some tine qualities, though not proving herself as yet quite the equal of either Columbia or Constitution. It is possible that after a tinal tuning the Boston boat, with her unusual lines, might show a superior form in an average of per¬ formances. As the case stands, she has not met expectations. If she is destroyed she will remain in the minds of most peo¬ ple either a mystery or, more probably, a failure. Mr. Lawson's decision smacks strongly of the petulance of the small boy who smashes his kite because the other children refuse to play with him. ? The western farmer is unable to see how any administration could have prevented a drouth, and the eastern farmer is well pleased with the prices resulting from a scarcity of his products. On the whole, the situation, calamitous though it may be in some respects, presents very little encour¬ agement to populism. . The -United States by paying off its own debts and lending money to Europe makes it plain that prosperity as a national propo¬ sition is no myth. m a » The necktie manufacturers have some¬ how missed a great chance to catch the hero worshippers by putting a Schley loop on the market. a ? Zola has had an infernal machine left on his doorstep. Zola has put any number of Infernal machines into people's libraries. The rule with General Waldersee seems to be. "When in doubt, give him an ova¬ tion." Discordant Ant i-Iniperlal lata. The articles by ex-Senator Edmunds and ex-Secretary Bout well in the North Ameri¬ can Review for August present a curious diversity of comment from the anti-im¬ perialist standpoint upon the Supreme Court decisions In the Insular tariff cases. Mr. Edmunds seems to accept Justice Brown's opinion and reasoning In the Downes case as that of the court, and on that basis pronounces happy the states of the northwest that have "ceased to be ter¬ ritories ' and are delivered from the des¬ potism . . of a Congress . . whose power over their lives, liberties, fortunes and happiness was restrained by no con¬ stitutional barrier." Mr. Boutwell show3 that Justice Brown's contention on this point was not sustained by any of his as¬ sociates, and that Congress is, under the decisions, restrained by constitutional bar¬ riers in dealing wUh territories as well as statvs; and in the light of the opinions rendered Mr. Boutwell Is hopeful that all of our recent acquisitions will soon be or¬ ganized and incorporated as territories and thus be made an integral part of the United States as those words are employed in cer¬ tain sections of the Constitution. Mr. Boutwell Is clearly the more accurate In his interpretation of the tribunal's ver¬ dict. But his conclusion suggesting a vir¬ tual triumph for antl-lmperiallst principles in that verdict is not so convincing. The Imperialistic contention, in substance, was that the power should be recognized in Congress to treat recently annexed terri¬ tory. for so long a period as the national and territorial welfare might require, as not within the "United States" in the sense in which those words are employed in the revenue uniformity and national citizenship clauses of the Constitution. The Supreme Court has confirmed this power in Con¬ gress. which is also givon the discration of taking such action with reference to In¬ corporating the annexed territory as will cause this power of discrimination to cease. The power exists until Congress Itself takes the steps defined by the Supreme Court which will terminate It. This au¬ thority is all that is required for the pro¬ tection of the national welfare, and is all that any imperialist should desire or ex¬ pect. The point at issue was the existence of a power, capable of being exercised when needed; and the decision against the anti- Imperlallxts on this issue is not at all weak¬ ened even if Congress in the present case should in its discretion exercise the power only for a short period, or even refrain from exercising it at all. Mr. Edmunds discovers a distinction to the detriment of modern republican spirit in the slight differences of wording in the acts giving Jefferson the power to adminis¬ ter Louisiana territory and McKinley the power to administer the Philippines. Jef¬ ferson, Mr. Edmunds says, was empowered only to administer existing laws; McKinley was authorized to set up and execute all laws thought by him to be necessary. Before Cbngress acted Jefferson was to execute the existing laws of the despotic government of Louisiana colony without any power to modify them on republican lines; McKinley in enforcing the Spanish laws in the Philippines was, it is said, em¬ powered by Congress to make such modiil- cations. Which method of treatment is more republican, more democratic, more American in tendency? Mt. Edmunds' construction of the Ijouisiana act makes it an unconstitutional re-enactment by Con¬ gress of all the oppressive and despotic laws then existing in Louisiana, and a command to the President of a free re¬ public to enforce without modification this monarchical system. The historian Henry Adams says of tho acquisition of Louisiana: "Within three years of his inauguration Jefferson bought a foreign colony without its consent and against its will, annexed It to the United States by an act which he said made blank paper of the Constitution; and then he who bad found his predeces¬ sors too monarchical and the Constitution too liberal in its powers . . . made himself monarch of the new territory and wielded over it against its protests the powers of its old kings." Of the bill for the temporary government of Louisiana passed later, Thomas H. Ben¬ ton says: "It was a startling bill, continuing the existing Spanish government; putting the President in the place of the King of Spain; putting all the territorial officers in place of the king's officers, and placing the ap¬ pointment of all these officers In the Presi¬ dent alone, without the consent of the Sen¬ ate. Nothing could be more Incompatible with our Constitution than such govern¬ ment.a mere emanation of Spanish despo¬ tism, in which all powers, civil and mili¬ tary, legislative, executive and judicial, were in the intendant-general representing the king; and where the people, far from possessing political rights, were punishable arbitrarily for presuming to meddle with political subjects." Mr. Edmunds suggestion is to the effect that the Taft government in the Philip¬ pines would be more in harmony with American and republican principles and the spirit of the Constitution If it had been forbidden by Congress to inject Into the laws anything of Americanism and repub¬ licanism and had been authorized merely to perform executive functions, substitut¬ ing itself for the governor-general and the friars who represented the King of Spain in applying to the Filipinos the despotic laws and governmental system which the people had found unbearable and against which they had revolted. On this theory the King of Spain is preferred to the Presi¬ dent of the United States as temporary law-maker In a new territorial acquisition during the preliminary transition period which continues until Congress gets ready to act. m 0 m Queues. A serious proposition has been advanced recently in this country by the Chinese re¬ form leaders, calling for a general rutting off of queues in the interest of progress. It is believed that several thousand China¬ men will respond to the summons by j-acrl- ficing their pigtails on the altar of reform. This means, of course, more than a mere surrender of a personal adornment. It means that the queueless Chinaman can¬ not return to his own country until the re¬ form has taken root there in official soil. Curtailment was one of the radical meas¬ ures proposed by Kwang Su In the days of his reform enterprise, but it was not for¬ mally promulgated and bore no results. The queue is described by some writers on Chinese affairs as really a badge of serT vility, having been decreed by the Man- churian conquerors. It is worn, however, today by Manchus and Chinamen alike, and it must have lost Its significance If it was ever thus meant to denote the subject race. It is difficult to see what advantage 's to be gained in behalf of real progress in China by the curtailment of all the China¬ men in America. Reform is not wanted here, but in the home country, and even there the abandonment of the queue will not of itself signify much unless the re¬ forms strike deep at the roots of the evils of which civilization complains. The denu¬ dation of the Chinese head might perhaps follow as a result of a reform, but it is surely not to be considered as a token of advancement at this stage. It would be better. Indeed, to do nothing to prevent the return to China of the celestials who have Imbibed modern ideas here, and who might serve as missionaries of the new thought of the western world among their country¬ men. Queueless, they would be objects of scorn, if they escaped official rebuke alive. China must be brought to reform through some other medium than the scalp. The theory of the San Francisco police that one man planned and executed the gold smelter robbery renders the crime of more interest than otherwise. It was a re¬ markably clever achievement on the first assumption that a gang had conducted it. If a single man did the work It becomes one of the most extraordinary pieces of criminal craftsmanship on record. . ? As naval officers are forbidden to talk or write books they must be regarded with some sympathy. Unfortunately, there is no way of keeping time from hanging heavy on their hands, as they never learned to crochet or play the piano. ? . New Jersey may not be regarded as one of the greatest states In the Union, but with its trusts, anarchists, mosquitoes, murders and sea serpents. It must be recog¬ nized as one of the most versatile. m # If Mr. Tom Johnson ever hopes to regu¬ late taxes so as to put the average citizen on sincerely good terms with the assessor he may as well be informed at once that he is cherishing a Utopian dream. 9 » It Is disquieting to observe that Roose¬ velt's name is again being mentioned for the presidency without permission from some of the republican managers. ? . m A Kansas City man says that going with¬ out food will cure rheumatism. A great many so-called cures merely offer the pa¬ tient a choice of discomforts. If the worst comes, some of J. Pierpont Morgan's enemies may have him set upon by gangs of snap-shot photographers. Mr. Tillman Is never satisfied with plain truth. He always Insists that It shall be as ugly as possible. * e m The Ilallooa Experiments. Santos-Dumont's painful experience yes¬ terday demonstrates the danger now at¬ tendant upon the use of a gas bag as the basis of aerial navigation. The Inventor explains that the bag was not sufficiently filled to render K stable against a puff of air, but the fact remains that when the bag is filled to the safety point It offers an unyielding surface to the wind, and Is therefore liable to sudden lurches as the unsteady currents strike It at various an¬ gles. Some day science may discover a gas much more rare than the hydrogen now used for flotation, suitable for use in balloons or airships, which will permit the employment of a smaller bag and the consequent reduction of the dancer which besets the balloonist. But it Is difficult to conceive a gas so rare as to be capable of lifting proportionately much greater weights, volume for volume, and yet to be safely confined within the walls of ballaon- maklng materials. The rarer the gas the more readily It leaks through the pores of the containing envelope. But in any event there would remain the factor of a bulky body handicapping the motor and the steer¬ ing apparatus. Santos-Dumont's expe¬ riences quicken the expectation that the most practicable development In this line will be through the aeroplane, which will utilize the very currents which now tend to prevent success. Senor Palma predicts that the first ad¬ ministration of Cuba's new government will encounter much trouble and disagreement. However, Cuba knows where to come for good advice, if It will avail itself of the op¬ portunity. e ? Justice might do better service In some parts of the United States if the bandage were removed from her eyes and a modern weapon substituted for the Roman sword. As a politician Mr. Bryan demands fus¬ ion. But as a Journalist he will find that his following represents more shades of opinion than one editorial page can take care of. ? This Is a time when both labor and capi¬ tal should be very keenly appreciative of the damage which can be done by that ubiquitous personage, the fool friend. It must greatly disgust Tod Sloan to note that such people as Astor and Van Alen are occupying his old place in aristocratic favor. ? 9 ? Recent events raise the question whether the Panama routo would not be rather an exposed location for an interoceanlc canal. . Several days have passed since Minister Wu advised Americans or struck a parallel between Confucius and somebody else. Each prominent Cuban is now brought face to face with the question of whether he will be a patriot or a politician. .- ? Santos-Dumont's airship breaks down as often as the Chinese negotiations. .¦ m SHOOTING STARS. Drawingr a Distinction. "I was in the South African war," said one Englishman. "General?" asked the other. "No. Journalist." "Oh, I see. You were a reporter; not a regretter." Handicapped by Circumstances. "He has told me he loved me," said the fair girl, confidingly; "but I don't know whether to marry him or not." "Don't you think he tells the truth?" "I am sure he does his bsst to tell the truth. But, you see, he works in the weather bureau." A Great Inducement. "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torklns, "I almost wish we were living in China." "With all the hatred for foreigners that exists there?" "I know it would be embarrassing. But since they smashed the Forbidden City, just think how cheap bric-a-brac must be selling in Pekin." The Difference. A word of wisdom is forgot; It swiftly disappears. But if you say a foolish thing It worries you for years. Out of the Ordinary. "That foreign nobleman who wants to marry you " "Yes, father," answered the fair girl. "I am sure he loves me." "But are you sure he's a genuine foreign nobleman?" "Why do you doubt him?" "I asked him about his debts, and he said he didn't owe a cent." Still In the F*uture. When we've gotten China quiet, When the Boers are whipped for keeps, When the anarchist quits howling And the dynamite sleeps; When the man who makes the weapons Is no longer subsidized. . When we don't hate one another. Then we'll all be civilized. But never mind my halo; You can let my harp oe still; I won't need any crown as yet; Perhaps, some day, I will. Of course we'll all be civilized, A happy, harmless crew; But ere we reach that blessed state We'll wait a year or two. 0 Public Baths and Bathing. From the Newark Advertiser. In the matter of public baths the aver¬ age American city is barbaric. In New Jersey the only decent public bathing fa¬ cilities exist in Newark, and these are comparatively limited. A city as large as Camden has no public baths. Japan is looked upon by us as semi-civilized, and, therefore, inferior. But in the city of Tokio alone there are more than 800 public baths. We can go to Japan to learn how to be publicly clean. We sum up the re¬ sults of the last two thousand years of hu¬ man experience in the word "progress." But in public cleanliness we have progress¬ ed crab fashion. Twenty centuries ago the cities of the Roman empire contained nu¬ merous magnificent public baths. The state expected every citizen to wash. We don't need the elaborate Roman system of baths, but we do need bathing houses for the general public and baths for the school children, the latter more especially In the districts where the poor abound. The suc¬ cess of a recent experiment of baths in a school house in New York will serve to Introduce baths In other public schools in that city. Perhaps also private philan¬ thropy will, in this respect, come to the aid of the school authorities. ? * Prevention of Malaria. From the Philadelphia Preaa. Just how the building up of cities and the consequent draining of fresh water pools and swamps drives away malaria Is shown in that, as Commissioner John B. Cosby of the board of health of New York points out. "out of an estimated pop¬ ulation this year in the five boroughs of 3,530,517 we have had only fourteen cases of death attributed to malaria. Post-mor¬ tem examinations would probably reveal that those subjects had other complica¬ tions." This shows that if you keep the malaria-bearing mosquitoes from breeding you keep down the chance of infection, and on the other hand, with no infected material in the shape of malarial patients available, the pathogenic mosquito is un¬ able to become an agency in the transmis¬ sion of disease, so that once clean up a re¬ gion of malaria and it will stay cleaned up, as the disease cannot originate by itself in the mosquito. . . ? A Cool Roof. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. No one denies chat this Is & great age Business triumphs and the arts could not fairly be said to languish. The professions are busy and science advances. And. look¬ out over the seething roofs of a great hot city, and remembering how science has advanced, we ask again, can science not invent some kind of a roof which will re¬ tain coolness Instead of heat? Not 'ame alone would be the reward of such an in¬ ventor. Libraries la Southern Schools. Prom Public Opinion. An act of the general assembly of North Carolina To encourage the establishment of libraries in the public schools of the rural districts." provides that when any country school district shall have raised $10 for the establishment of a library, the county and state boards of education shall each contribute $10 more for the purchase of books. The libraries thus gathered are fr** of charge at the disposal both of the school children and their parents, and'Provision la made for the Interchange of the libraries from school to schoofso that each may have the benefit of all.
