of life, limb body, health and reputa-
ton, has been violated by decree pub
lished by the Spanish government in 1926
which places all these things I'm the
palm of the hand'' of the Captain Gener-
al, since it gives him absolute domination
over the Cuban people, without any re-
dress and without any appeal from cruel
or unjust exercise of his power. There
are courts in Cuba and the formal ma
chinery of legal and political system,
but behind these forms, says Mr.. Dos
Pasos, ''stalks the ghost of despotism,
frightening order and justice from their
seats. - Another absolute right which
is grossly violated in Cuba is the right of
personal liberty. Nor single subject of
| Spain on that island but has his move
ments curtailed and guarded, and dwells
under constant system of espionage
The Captain General can restrain him or
Danish him according to his mighty
| pleasure A free press and the right OF
the people to meet together to discuss
public questions are also denied to the
Spanish subjects in Cuba. Added to
these invasions of absolute rights is the
excessive and monstrous taxation under
which the Cubans have labored for many
years. Upon 100000 people taxes
amounting to 1885, 600, 900 year have been
| imposed. $26, 900, 200 of which have been
actually collected. Out of this $26, 600,
600, about SIS, 600, 600 have been applied
to pay the debt incurred by the putting
down OF the last Cuban rebellion. Hardly
| dollar Of it has been devoted to public
purposes. There are no primary schools
supported By the government, and the
great libraries, internal improvements
and all those auxIliaries that are to be
found in modern states are absent from
the island.
Discussing the attitude of the United
States Mr.. Dos Passos says two courses
are open to this government if she de-
cides to become interested in the strug-
gle, first, to recognize the Cubans as in
surgents; second, to become an ally of
Cuba and openly espouse her cause. Mr.
Dos Passos argues that the government
should adopt the former course and do it
without delay. He holds that all the
oonui6loHS 10 Justiiy sucn fecognlGlOn ex-
| list; first there is a state of war; second,
the insurgents have organized a de facto
government; third, the struggle is in
augurated for the establishment of some
vital principle and fundamental change;
fourth, self interest of citizens of the
United States and preservation of their
property demand recognition of belliger-
ency. Mr.. Dos Passos argues his propo-
sitions with great force and his pamphlet
cannot fail to make an impression favor
able to the policy he advocates

CUBA AND BELLIGERENr RIGHTS

Mr.. John R. Dos Passos of New York
has just written pamphlet in favor of
the recognition of Cuba by the United
States, in which the question is presented
in very calm and rational way. Mr..
Dos Passos holds that Spain has forfeited
all right to dominion over Cuba by fla
grant violation of the implied contract be-
tween the sovereign and the subject. He
lays it down as principle Of universal
law THAT when the subjects of any
country are deprived of the unaIIenable
and absolute right of individ uals. thai
such people are justified by rebellion,
force, or any other means, in rescuine
themselves from the power that holds
them in subsection; and that any out
side civilized nation has tho right, and
it is its duty, to acknowledge the belliger
ency of such people; nay to succor ant

INTERESTING FACTS
MR.. pEaABo AND TIL: CHICK EaING PIANO

1t is now thirty years since ] first used
the Chickering plano, and have never
accorded it any public praise except that
of using it. This silence has been caused
by the shameful warfare between the
traders, who, without one spark of artis-
tic sense, have paraied their selfish inter-
ests on every sheet in both hemispheres.
Shrinking from the din of such COARSE
controversy, sincere and DISTINGUISHED

in an inner circle of refinement and ST.
lence, despairing to enter, without loss
of self respect, that commercial sphere
which were it honorably man
aged, would be the most potent of all
factors in securing to true merit its de-
sired appreciation.
Under these circumstances, the fact
that no pecuniary DR. other extraneous
, motive has ever been offered to induce
me to use the Chickering piano speaks
for itself with sufficient force. I always
choose this piano because in my long

MUS, or one whose workma nship can so
uniformity be deepened upon, whether
considered POLITICALLY or technically. The
key board is most agreeable to the touch,
evenly graded, while the bass has a mu-
steal fullness as satisfying in it's power
as the well -proporuioned treble is in its
deeply vocal and finally fiute-like
quality. The orchestral gradations from
double bass to flute are most admirably
given, better than upon any other instru.

purely mellow and musical, and lends
itself as readily to the orchestral blending
as to the more delicate conditions OF
chamber music. Finally the action is
so we'll and evenly regulated that in all

the touch being quite sufficient to pro-
duce every variety of shading.

have never asked me to make any written
statement about their instruments. This

The fist national convention next year
will probably be that of the Prohibition

about the middle of May. Perhaps an
early date was selected to escape the hot

upon it.

The Massachusetts people who are in IA
yor of biennial elections and have once got
their proposed amendment ratified by a
two thirds vote uf the legislature, are
now moving to get another ratification
by the incoming legislature which is es-
sential before it can be submitted to the
people. Some very prominent men are
interested in the movement; and the
prospect is that it will succeed, though
there is considerable opposition from
labor unions and some other organiza-
tions which profess to fear that the aboli
tien of the annual election will con-
tribute to the enslavement of the people.

1t is not at all probable that Mr.. Bar
rett ever imagined.that the House would
vote to impeach Bayard. Undoubtedly
the impeachment part of his resolution
was device to get his motion in privil-

forthwith by the House. In this he sue
ceeded. The constitution prescribes re-
Tuoval by impeachment for treason,
bribery or other high crimes Or misde-
meanors. Mr.. Baysrd's offence comes

a breach of propriety. The House may
