It is amusing to know how small

the price that he named, and he seemed
to be abundantly satisfied with the

It has been proposed that crematori0 b
started for the purpose Of disposing ok

that something must be done in this di-
rcction it seems an exaggerated form Of
brutality to dump the d9ad into crema-
tory furnaces in this way. There is also
the very gravest danger that: careless
and unfeeling employees may pick up
men who are only stunned or who may
have tainted and plungs, them into the
fiery vortex.
It is we'll understood fact ti1at men
have lain for hours ON the battlefield
dead to all appearances, and such might
easily be gathered up by ignorant OF un-
observing attendants and consigneG to
the flames. It would be very much. bst-

THE ONE QUESTION.
Are the Cubans Capable of Governing
Themselves as a Republic?

Pittsburg Times: The Cubans are
extremely anxious to obtain from the
United States a recognition of their
belligerent rights, believing, and pos.
sibly correctly, that under this recog-
milton their independence would be
secured. Under it they could buy arms
and munitions of war in the United
to them. They would have liberty of
trade, and while they would not have
liberty to enlist men for their armies
they would have the next thing to it.
The barrier against recruiting would be
practically broken down. 1t would be
an easy matter to send recruits to
Cuba as nominally the crews of mer-
chant ships. Under a grant of bellig
Grant rights there is no doubt that this
would be winked at. More than that
could not be permitted without laying
ourselves open to the charge of fur
nishing men to fight a nation with
whom we are at peace. But that would
be enough. In the event of it, adven-
turers would flock to Cuba in hope Of
gold and glory. With such assistance
to the rebels it might be a question
if the Spaniards could hold their own
in the island long.
The grant of belligerency is always a
delicate matter, for it is always regard
ed as an evidence of hostility In the
event of it Spain would be convinced
that when the moment came we would
go farther in the interest of her rebels.
That is one reason why the grant is
refused. Another is that it might
serve merely to encourage rebellion;
that is, the Cubans might be conquered
in spite of it. No nation likes to take
the risk of recognizing a rebellion
which does not give satisfactory proof
that it will end in independence, for
every nation which does that expects
when independence is established, re-
turn of the favor in the shape of trade
or other privileges This is not the
first rebellion in Cuba. There have
been others which gave more promise
of success than this one does.
Auu lLdI the duluOIllltS DIT WASH
ington have their doubts of the ability
of the Cubans to carry on an independ-
ent government if they had one, or at
least such a government as would be
worth helping to create. If the Cuban
people had had different training, or
If they were of one blood, it is safe to
say that the authorities at Washington
would be more disposed to stretch
point in their favor. The parallel be-
tween France at the outbreak of the
American Revolution and the United
States now, as drawn by a representa-
tive of the Cubans, is greatly mislead-
ing, for France then had her revenge
to wreak upon England through her
revolted colonies, while We have none
to wreak upon Spain, and as the COM
parative fitness of the Americans for
self-rule then and the Cubans now, the
less said the kindlier. 1t is a mistake
to suppose that this country is opposed
to liberty in refusing to grant them bel
iIgerent rights. 1t is opposed to in
volving itself in complications with
Spain without reasonable certainty that
the resulting good will justify it.

The Pin Was Found.

From the Dublin Mail. At an enter
tainment in Dublin a thought-reader
boosted that he could find a marked
pin hidden by one of the audience. The
pin was hidden by Trinity student in
an adjoining room in the presence of
the committee, among whom was a con-
federate The student, suspecting the
man from his looks, Slyly took away
the pin from its hiding place. On his
return to the platform the thought
reader gazed into the hider's face, and,
putting his hand to his brow, was
blindiOlded and led the student to the
hiding place, but of course could find
no pin. He returned, acknowledged
his defeat, and looked daggers at his
confederate. Nov, gentlemen" said
the student, 'I'll undertake to say that
if this diviner of the human mind will
do as | tell him half the aCdence, with
out single hint, will know where the
pin is" and turning to the thought
reader, he said: "Sit down." He did
so. There was a yell, and jumping up
the thought-reader hastily pulled from
his coat-tails the marked pin.
