Robbers' Roosts

street. Grand avenue, Ninth and Tenth

cred and rapercd. The police exploded

Among the objects discovered was a
graders lantern. which is believed to
have been stolen.
In the block bounded by Hope street,
Grand avenue. Seventeenth and Eiah.
tenth streets another lot OF boys have a
also cave which is about eighteen feet
deep and reached by II pit. 1t was found
to contain lamps and books. The twelve

were careless. and man walking in his
yard broke through the roof of the cave
and his legs went dangling into it.

AS THE CROMDS COME CUT.

The charming and irresistible Ada Rehan
was given a splendid reception by her
Washington admirers last evening at La
fayette Square Opera House. The opera
house, by the way, presented new at
traction in the shape OF a soft, warm and
bright coiored carpet, which completed
the "home comforts in the appointments
of Manager Albaugh's theatrical palace of
blue and gold
The audience was large and yet select,
and thoroughly en- rapport with Miss Rehan
in her Interpretation Of Mrs. Valentine
Osprey in THE Railroad of Love-" a char
acter which comes within the range of Miss
Rehan's most captivating and seductive
dramatic mood. The love king of the
great actress in this role is quiet, insinuat-
ing, and subdued, yet withal there are
frequent flashes of finesse and humor that
make the character something distinct and
entirely outside of the ordinary love-na king
OF even the most accomplished siren.
Sweetness and naturalness peryaded the
deyelopneut of the Character but it has been
so fashioned after the Old German ideal that
there are passages W hich are Intensely emo
tional, as witness the action and speech of
the heroine alone AT the close OF the third
act.
1t is, of course, unneces sary TO tell Wash
ington public how Miss Rehan treats her
subjects, except, perhaps, to say that The
performance last night was up to the very
nigh standard expected from this universal
fayorite.
MIR. Frank worthing's representation of
Lieutenant Howell, U. S a, deserves more
enconium than can be given at.this time.
He had fine character, and he did il
full justice. The same could he said of
Mr.. James Lewis in Phoenix Scutuleby.

style.
There is good actor or actress in every

THE CrBAN MASS MEETING

Elsewhere will be found a call for mass
tIon of all who sympathize with struggling
Cuba. The recognition of the Cuban cause
by Congress is all but essential to its
welfare, and IL withheld, now that the
prospects for Cuban independence seem So
bright, the omission would almost be
criminal. Cuba burdened by a war debt
of nearly S4OO, ,OOO,o0O and enslaved by
Spanish domination can never be prosper
Gus or even moderately successful, but
Cuba free, with no debt and an independent
form of government, would soon become
rich from the development Of her splendid
resources.
Those who oppose the recognition of Cuba
claim that the insurrectionists are negroes
and that Cubans generally arc incapable
of self-government. There never was a
more cruel assumption. In $50 the popu-
Iation of Cuba was 1 ,521 ,6S4, Of whom
764,1 ,160 were whites, Spaniards and Span
ish creoles, 344, 400 free people OF color,
227 ,9O2 slaves, and 90, 400 Chinese, which
shows that at least half the population are
white, most of whom demand Cuban indie
pendence for business reasons, which
there is no necessity for rehcarsing. When
given opportunity the Cubans have shown
themselves progressive and Industrious, and
their successful conduct of war against
the combined efforts of Spain demonstrates
their ability to ia ke care of themselves under
anything like favorable circumstances.
Since February last the Cubans have
of their country. From band of insurrec-
tionists their band has grown to more than
10000 soldiers, of whom only about half
are properly armed. With power to pur-
chase arms and supplies they would soon
achieve independence, and the recognition
of them as belligcrents by Congress would
give them that power. The question TO be
discussed at the mass meeting, soon to be
called, is whether or not as Americans we
have the right to withhold that recognition
AS representatives of patriot forefathers
who once asked and received that great
boon from France, there can be but one
answer.
As citizens of the National Capital of
the greatest free people that were ever
blessed with Gods sunshine, let there be

DON'T CoNDEMN THE LAW.


The Butchers and Packers Magazine is
mistaken in its assertion that President
Cleveland and his cabinet have referred the
investigation of the complaint against the
beef trust to the Attorney General OF Illinois,
and that it is an admission that the national
antitrust law is worthless. Attorney
General Harmon forwarded the evidence
againstthe beef trust t,furnishedby Secretary
Morton, to United States District Attorney
Black, of Illinois, with Instructions toinvesti-
gate, and so far no Information has been
made public as to the progress made.
The validity of the antitrust law has never
yet been tested in the courts, and President
Cleveland and his Cabinet have no authority
to decide against it. The law was framed
by the best legal minds in the Senate and
by them pronounced an effective measure
TO destroy trusts, and if the administration
hesitates to enforce it on the ground OF
illegality it is a direct reflection on the
Judgment of the Senators who are its
sponsors.
AS a ma tier offact the public believes that
President Cleveland does not want to
prosecute the trusts. The communism OF
pelf'' is much more aggressive and burden
some than it was when the administration
began its labors, and although nearly three
years have elapsed since the above empty
phrase was made public, not trust has
been interfercd with or an effort made
to explain why the antitrust law was
not enforced.
1t is not right to condemn this law until
1t is tried and found wanting.

STRENGTH TO IT'S ARM" ."

The use OF progressive newspapers by
Prof. Lodge, Of the Columbian University,
as text books is an innovation that other
educational institutions could adopt to adj
vantage. College education as a rule is too
much a thing of the past. The books used
by students represent the brains OF other
days, and the ideas and thoughts absorbed
from them are but reproductions OF mental
pictures that are obsolete. 1t is true that
underlying factsaud dprncipiesneverc change,
but progress, enlightenment and the rest
less mind energy of the present are con-
stantly changing to meet new conditions,
and if the slmile be permitted, time is but
a kaleidoscope, in which facts and prin-
ciplcs alter their shape to satisfy the re-
quirements OF a changeful public. For
that reason college text books should be so
modernIzed as to fill the minds of students
with progressive ideas.
But it is a question if all newspapers will
prove proper educational text books.
Most newspapers arc conducted as money
making enterprises. They boast of inde-
pendence and claim to be moldcrs of public
opinion for general good, but back of their
apparently unselfish statements is de-
sire to accumulate wealth. Their editorial
policy is that which brings the greatest
revenue, and their news columns crowd
cd with such information as will add the
largest number of readers to their circulation
lists. They are reformers only when pub
lie sentiment points the way, and are seldom
progressive, except in the direction of the
almighty dollar. 0fthese facts, Washington
newspaper readers have been intelligent
observers.
Il communication from Prof Lodge pub
lished in another column shows that he
realizes the need of fearless, Independent
newspapers to assist in the work of mold
ing the minds of students. Almost uncon-
sciously scholars absorb the individuality
and mental images of the context which
they study. For that reason newspaper
text books should be carefully selected.
Those that are broad and unprejudiced will
add practical ideas to the fund of knowl-
edge and prepare students TO meet modern
conditions, but these newspapers must be
those which voice the sentiment of the
public rather than the opinions of certain
interests. Otherwise it would be as well
to continue the use of the old style text
books.
