up a cheer. Fernando Fisue-
redo explained the situation in
these words.
"The mother country, after
trying to secure a loan from
England and France, has failed.
She says she will send 100000
men against Cuba, but Cubans
know, and you know, she can
not get the money TO send them.
She has sent General Campos.
her ablest statesman to Cuba,
and when that fails, what
then.'
A committee Of five prom
inent Americans presented the
following resolutions, which
were adopted with great enthus
iasm:
Resolved, that it is the sense
of the American citizens here
assembled:
That they most heartily SYM
pathize with the Cuban patriots
in their desires and efforts to
free Cuba from foreign coun-
tries and obtain for the people
Of that island the right Of self
government so much priced by
us. They have vastly more
reasons for their action than
had our forefathers of whose
selection we are so proud, and
and they will persist in patri-
otto endeavors until Cuba Is
free.
That it is the duty of all
lovers Of free American institu-
tons to express sympathy with
the oppressed people of Cuba
and their desire to see them
free.
That we urge upon the legis-
: lature of the state of Florida
: the duty to formally, by reso-
luton, express the sympathy OF
the whole people Of Florida
with the movement to free Cuba
That we urge upon our fed

Sarcasm and reproof have been hurled at
the kodak fiend. Professional humorists
have depicted him as doing all sorts of
absurd and annoying things until even the
uninterested citizen has come to regard the
amateur photographer as an unmitigated
nuisance. But even as the despised mother
in-law is generally much better than she
appears to be in the comic papers, so is
the amateur photographer superior to such
portraits of him as have compelled laugh
ter. 1t is entirely reasonable to insist that
the amateur is responsible for the tre-
mendous advances made during recent
years in the art of photography. Taking

there have been and still are in existence
indications which point toward electric
supremacy on the route mentioned. Some
years ago the people of Alexandria-desir
GUS of providing the Pennsylvania Com
pany with competitor to this city-gave to
the Washington, Alexandria G Mount Ver-
non Electric Railway valuable highway
privileges. Since the bestowal of those
gifts, the electric company has built and
now operates an overhead trolley road
from Alexandria to Mount Vernon. People
have wondered why the long link needed
to connect Washington and Alexandria has
been so tediously delayed; why no appar-
ent effort has been made to grade the
roadbed, provide the ties, or lay the iron.
1t is fair to presume that the competition
which Alexandrians sought to encourage
will not come into existence through the
means they have endeavored to use, for.
unless some folks who are reputed to be up
to the average in shrewdness are very
much mistaken, the Pennsylvania tracks
will be humning beneath trolley cars be-
fore many months have gone by, while the
locomotives will be transferred to another
sphere of operation, few of them being
perhaps retained to pull the heavier sorts
of freight. These conclusions come not as
the result of any known action on the
part CT the Pennsylvania Company, but
through the inactivity of the Mount Ver-
non corporation. There is nothing aston
ishing in the theory. If it is well-founded
the Pennsylvania Company has simply
swallowed one more of the hundreds of
little combines that have started out to be
competitors.
