We arc il theory a bard money man,
but II has become such hard work 10 get
money Of any kind, We would endure an
imitation Of the currency with philosophy.
Grsenbacks ana national bank currency
are not money-no, by any means All
the political economists say so, and they
ought to know. All experience has proven
this assertion to be true, aud experience

itsppear TO US to be truth, ths, cur pre-,
sent currency Is much better than Nc
money at sll, and that it's very scarce
We are therefore willing TO endure oul
share OF the national ruin tha, may follow

titlOn which duriug last September WAS
offered In tho spanish Senate. It was pre-
ssntcd by the officers Of the Abolitionist So
ciety Of Spain, 10 which most of the mem
bcrs Of the new Government belong, and
earnestly prayed for the immediate abolition
OF slavery In Cuba and Porto Rico, submit
ting In its support FIVE lndlsputable PROPOSE
tions, aud, finally, the Questionable one, that
the abolition Of slavery would seTve to finish
the rebellion, while its postponcmcnt would
he motive to further and increased resist
nnce, NJ proved by events in San Domingo In
l7n3, and again in 1904.
Any one at all acquainted with the Justice
Of the Cuban cause, the determination which
the patriots have displayed, and the increas-
Ing Intensity Of their hatred Of Spanish rule,
will need no argument to show him that the
proposed measure, nor, indeed, any other Of
q similar character, will avail Spain anything
IN her effort to retain Cuba. To-day scarcely
on adult OF Cuban birth would willingly sec
the long struggle end on any terms other
than those Of absolute independence, for the
suspicion and hatred the struggle has en-.
gcndcred have forever divorced the oppressed
colony and the mother country. Some idea
Of the gallant resistance that has been made
by the patriots may he gained from the fact
that since the outbreak Of the rebellion one
hundred thousand Spanish soldiers have
been sent to Cuba, and Of that mum
ber over eighty thousand have fallcr
victims to disease and bullets. The contln-
uance Of the war, while It has reduced to .
comparatively small body the number oi
patriot troops, has at the same time In
strcted them in the habits OF warfare o
which In the beginning they were total,
ignorant, and has proved to the entire salts
faction Of the enemy that the war can be madC
Intcrminable. The Cubars, appreciating tn,
Importance to their cause Of these and equal,
cogent reasons for continued resistance
will not for some time to come entertain Al
Idea Of submission to the hated rule Of Spain
They know that the intelligence which pro
claimed republic upon the abdication o
Amadeus will before long see the uselcssnes
Of making so great and so appalling sacrifice
In order that country from which no prod
Is derived may be still held m subsection fo
the simple qualification Of an Idea at one
foolish proud and cruel.

thanks for the GOmely little volume OF essays by

naval hygiene by Medical Inspector GihOn;
on yellow fever by Surgeons Bloodgood and
Pitcher, and on English and Peruvian hospitals,
by Fleet Surgeons shippen and Brown, are ex.
ceedlngy interesting. DR.. Palmer has com.
pletely rejuyenated the medical star Of the
navy. Besides encouraging naval medical on.
GERS by publishing the results Of their labors
which have been buried on the shelves Of the
bureau OF medicine and surgery, he proposes to
establish naval medical museum In this city In
friendly rivalry with the army Iuuseum, and In
his annual report urges upon the Secretary the
necessity OF providing for the complete profess
sional education Of the younger medical Oiiicers
by a naval medical school like that at Netley.
We cordially wish him success In all his efforts
to elevate the professional standing OF the corps
Of which he ls the heal.

The friends Of Cuban independence In the
United States will be sorry To hear that 1t Is
the declared intention OF the new repub-
lie to maintain the authority Of the mother
country In Cuba. 4 better, because a more
generous, policy was to he expected from a
people who, without cost Of blood or money,
without even an organized attempt at revolu-
ton, but simply through the disgust Of an
accepted ruler, suddenly and somewhat unex-
pectedly became partakers Of the blessings Of
self-goyernment, But Il seems that the new
administration has forgotten what Is due to
others, for one OF It's very first declarations
shows that II believes In q continuance, II
necessary, Of the struggle In Cuba. The
same foreign dispatch which tails us that this
announcement Is substantially made In Min
lstcrial circles says that the Minister Of
Finance, who, II is to be presumed,
sanctions It, in speech made on the same day
the policy was announced, gives Respect
for Right" as the motto Of the new republic,
OF course 1t makes the greatest possible dif'
ference whose right, Spain or Cuba's, claim
the respect, yet there is an apparent want OF
consistency In government that In one day
will follow the announcement OF such politl-
cul Intentions with the adoption OF such a
plausible motto,
The members Of the new Government may
think that Cuba will be compelled TO cease
her gallant fight should slavery be abolished
within her territory, and that the adoption Of
such measure would eventually restore peace
and harmonlEe her relations with the home
Government, in which she will probably be
awarded the right Of representation under
the new regime In any event, they are com
mItted 10 the abolition Of slavery, for the
Spanish republican leaders, with scarcely q
worthy exception, have repeatedly, and In
the most solemn manner, declared that such
a measure was demanded by the highest con-
alterations OF religion and justice,
sound policy and national honor. That
this policy Is regarded by them as one that
would tend to put an end to the Cuban In
surreCtlon Ia satisfactorily evidenced by ape
