A Strange Tryst.

Bradford Torrey, the naturalist, told a
pretty story some time since to party Of
friends of tryst of his with blackcap.
He saw the bird for the first time one 9Th
of May in corner of his garden, and hap
pening to look at his watch noticed the
hour. 1t was O'Clock. He spoke to his
family of this first encounter with the lit
tie creature and was led by within to re-
turn to the same spot on the following
18th OF May and at O'Clock. Again he
saw the blackcap fly down upon his crock
cry as he stood waiting for it. Then the
tale was told about among his acquaint-
ances, and in the next year at the same
day and hour he persuaded one of his fam
lily to accompany him to the tryst. Mr.
Torrey acknowledged that he felt nervous
and almost dreaded to put the strange CO.
Incidence once more to the test. They
went down to the pile Of rocks and moss,
and taking out their watches stationed
themselves in the old spot. Just as the
clock struck l there was a flutter Of wings
in the bushes-the blackcap flew forth,
faithful to the strange appointment be-
tween man and bird

In the Time of Erasmus.

Then not only all the learned, but all
tho educated, woro familiar with Latin.
Whoever read indeed must read Latin, for
there was little else to read Theology,
history, philosophy, all wero in Latin.
The national literatures were only in their
cradles. Nearly a century after the time
of Erasmus, Bacon deliberately buried his
greater works in Latin in tho hope of Sc
curing his fame, and even Milton chose
Latin as the vehicle of some of the best OF
his early poetry and did not abandon ii
without hesitation.
To Erasmus it was everything 1.-THE
language OF his tongue rs well as of his
pen. He Travelled everywhere, in Italy,
France, England, Germany, but he GER
tainly knew no English or German and
apparently made his Latin carry him
through wherever he went. And whatever
difficulties of language he found with Inn.
keepers and servants and officers of Gus
toms he found none among tho clergy OF
the mobiles, at whose houses his introduc.
tions made him everywhere welcome.-

Just at present Mr.. Reeds strength Is
growing to proportions alarm ing to his
opponents and, although he is in the
woods, he knows it. The managers OF
his campaign are Joseph H. Manlcy, one
of the Repub lican national committees
big four; Sen ator Henry Cabot Lodge, W.
Murray Crane, national committeeman
from Massachusetts, and James Philips,
r., of Fitchburg.
The maxim Of these gentlemen in
affairs political is Work, but don't talk
The result of their labor is most appar
ent in Pennsylvania, which has swung
from the Mckinley into the Reed column.
Thomas G. Platt and Mr., Manley have
long had an understa nding that New
York's second choice should be Mr. Reed.
While the Reed men contend that they
are making inroads into Mckinley
following in the South, they will not
make any estimates. As conditions are
at present, ex-Speaker Reed will probably
go into the national convention assured Of
the support of Pennsylvania and of New
York after Morton chances are gone

Cuba's Claim on Humanity.

81 believe our government should he
no more conservative in the matter of re-
cognizing the belli gorent rights of the
Cuban insurgents than Spain was in re-
cognizing the southern Confederaoy.
believe the sympathies of the American
people generally are with the insurgents
Cuba has always been misgoverned, and
always will be so long as Spain has con-
troll. When the insurgents have established
a government de facto there should be
no hesitancy on our part in recognizing
It, The insurgents are contending against
great odds, but, Judging from previous
revolutions and what we can learn of this
they are rs thoroughly imbued with pat
riotism AS any people who ever struggled
to be free
When Governor Cleaves made the above
response to the Chicago Tribune's request
for an expression of his opinion upon the
Cuban question, he voiced In unequi-
vocal and manly way the sentiment Of
we believe, the almost unanimous major
fty Of Americans, who are acquainted
with the conditions under which the
Cuban struggle is progressing. What
ever may be thought Of the ability Of tho
Cubans to govern themselves wisely it is
absolutely certain that they will never be
governed wisely while their country is a
province Of Spain. Cuba's condition to-
day Is an anachronism. 1t is lust as
certain from the accounts of the Span.
iards themselves that some at least of the
insurgent leaders have fought and sacri-
hocd Us no one fights and sacrifices EXCEPT
In defense Of life or In behalf of home
and country. Mere marauders might so
light In desperate extremity but none of
the reports dictated by the Spanish officers
Indicate that this last extremity has been
reached. 1t is simply silly for Spain to
expect the world to regard the Cuban
revolution as a riot or the looting expedl-
lions OF maurauders. Assurcdly this from
Spanish organs account of the de.
ieat ot an insurgent band Is excellet
proof that the insurgent leader and his
men were inspired by something othc,
than desire for rapine: "Cantero wa.
wounded IN the engagement and wa
subsequently killed as he refused to snr
render. and continued to inc,t,, his ma.
to attack with the maohete."
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1895-10-05

levied conscripts from among the beard
less boys Of the nation. And in addition
to all these signs Of the desperation of the
Spanish cause and of the brave successes
OF the insurgents the Spanish have deemed
it best to inaugurate a campaign of
butchery that should not be tolerated
among civilized nations. Among the
tests which Wheaton prescribes for de
facto government is the existence Of a
political organization of the insurgents
sufficient in character, population. and
resources to constitute, If left to itself, a
state among the nations reasonably capa-
BILE of discharging the duties of state.
1t would seem that the Cuban Insurgents
could comply with these conditions. In
deed leading writers declare that the
Cubans have no weaker claim to recog-
milton as belligcrents than that which the
American revolutionists pressed success
fully upon France in 1878, and certainly
there are other reasons why we should
recognize Cuba that did not weigh with
France in our favor Should the United
States today recognize the belligerent
rights of the Cubans and thus assure them
protection from atrocities in excess of the
barbarities of legitimate warfare a
troublesome precedent might be estab-
lished, as some assume but do not de-
monstrate nevertheless we believe that
such recognition would be regarded by the
civilized world as an act of justice and
creditable to humane people.
