Beware OfSDaiu.

Senator Call, Of Florida, has contrived
to galvanize the question of Cuban sep
aration from Spain by his resolution now
slnmbering with the committee Of for
eign affairs. The news of the introduc-
ton Of his measure was welcomed at
Key West by torchlight parade, and
there have been many manifestations of
sympathy all along the lower Atlantic
and Gulf coast. Senator Cali has had
himself interviewed In the matter and
expresses the opinion that If the Cubans
should rise and proclaim a republic this
government would not look on with in
difference while Spain tried to rivet
again her imperial chains. He ref rs
TO the similar case of the Mexican
rising against Macmillan when Presi-
dent Johnson warned the French
to leave Mexico. The important differ
ence Is that Spain only maintains her
ancient dominion inF Cuba, while France
vas trying to establish new conquest.
There can he little doubt that a reyolu-
tlcn IN Cuba that APPEARED to have
gsnnrni popular supI&rt would COM
mend ~ much public sympathy In
Amegtcs that It would u almost impos-
l. gs...os q keep this country out of the

annoxetlon Of Cuba as O brilliant climax

PRESIDENT HARRISON went cunning for
ducks last week, and of the three killed by
the party he is said to have slain one, and
also TO have accidentally taken the life of
a pig owned by an old colored man. This
touching incident needs explanation and
detailed description. Did the chief ex ecu
tive of the United States mistake pig for
duck, or did he imagine that polar bear
was prancing through the thickets OF Old
Virginia. Possibly his gun was accident
ally discharged, or he' may have slain the
wild Virginia razor-back deliberately and
for sport, because of the scarcity of ducks.
John Wanamaker should get his gun and
join the presidential shooting party, and
Mr.. Ingalls, should he persuaded to haunt
the neighborhood, as he might easily he
slain for pig.

The question arises whether they were

whether male or female, but II the same
rule applies to the highway robbers 1t
must also hold for male washers Of clothes,
who would be washerwomen In spite Of
sex. But the dictionaries give "washer-
man" and do not give highwaywoman.
We can speak of lady chairman, but II
would CRATE against the fitness Of things to
refer TO lady highwayman, or female
highwayman. II would perhaps be better,
in these days Of woman's rights, TO retire
from this awful puzzle and speak only Of

tiyes received the body which had been

A CURIOUS fiye-rage pamphlet comes
from Boston with the compliments Of the
author, David Thayer, A. M, NJ. D., who
has made the flight OF birds life
long study, "and desires to leave In
younger hands tho result of his investiga-

startling frontispiece representing an 'terial
railway" The pamphlet bears the title
".Erial railway for the exploration of the
polar zone aud for air transit over water
and land" The picture shows three
hugo kites or sails hanging, vertical
and rigid, high up In the sky from
three long rods or cables that run
from vessel to row of small
balloons. DIR. Thayer does not deign to ex-
plain what these rigid sails and connecting
rods are made of, but he declares that the
balloons are only used to keep the kites up
when the wind dies away. "If there were
always wind there would be no use for
balloons" says tho student of bird flight,
and many kite flying boy will agree with
him. Sliding on the lines or rods that con-
meet the vessel and the kites Is car in
