Suffering Cuba.

From the hour of achieving their own
independence, the people of the United
States have regarded with sympathy the
struggles of other American peoples to free
themselves from European domination
We watch with deep and abiding interest
the heroic battle of the Cuban patriots
against cruelty and oppression, and our
best hopes go out for the full success of
their determined contest for liberty. The
government of Spain, having lost control
of Cuba, and being unable to protect the
property of lives of resident American cit
liens or to comply with its treaty obliga-
tions, we believe that the government of
the United States should actively use its in
fuence and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

The peace and security of the Republic,
and the maintenance of its rightful infiu-
ence among the nations of the earth, de-
mand a naval power commensurate with
its position and responsibility. We there
fore favor the continued enlargement of
the navy and a complete system of harbor
and seacoast defences.

We favor the admission of the remaining
territories at the earliest practicable date,
having due regard to the interests of the
people of the territories and of the United
States. All the federal officers appointed
for the territories should be selected from
bona fide residents thereof, and the right of
self-government should be accorded as far
as practicable.
We believe the citizens of Alaska should
have representation in the Congress of the
United States to the end that needful legis-
lation may be intelligently enacted.
Temperance and Rights of Women.
We sympathize with all wise and legiti-
mate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils
of intemperance and promote morality.
The Republican party is mindful of the
rights and interests of women. Protection
of American industries includes equal OPP
portunities, equal pay for equal work, and
protection to the home. We favor the ad-
mission of women to wider spheres Of use
fulness and welcome their cooperation in
rescuing the country from Democratic and
Populistic Encouragement and misrule.
Such are the principles and policies of
the Republican party. By these principles
we will abide and these policies we will put
into execution. We ask for them the con-
sderate judgment of the American people.
Confident alike in the history of our great
party and in the justice of our cause, we
present our platform and our candidates in
the full assurance that the election will
bring victory to the Republican party and
prosperity to the people of the United
States.

The New York Medical Record re.
fers to the TACT that DR.. Snow, to
whom Great Britain owes its first i'm
munity from epidemic cholera for the
last twenty-five years, and, of course,
for all future time, is almost forgotten
in that country. In commenting on
this fact, Sir Richard Quain recently
said; ''Dr. Snow made us masters of
the deadly plague OF cholera. He
thereby saved millions Of lives. The
sole reward which England has con-
ferred upon him is midnight obscurity.
If he had been a soldier" he con-
tinued, "instead of doctor, if he had
slain his thousands, instead of saving
his millions, every town would have
hailed him as hero, and the Nation
would have honored his memory with
monuments more enduring than
brass" DIR. Shows work consisted in
discovering that cholera is q water
born disease.

A Colossal Statue of Beroliua.

The colossal statue of Berolina, tho
allegorioal representative of the city
of Berlin, in the Alexander Platz, of
that city, will soon be unveiled with
imposing ceremonies. 1t is twenty-five
feet high from the feet to the crown,
aud will stand on pedestal of red
granite of equal height. Dressed In a
coat of mail and covered by a flowing
gown, the strong but still well-rounded
shape of the figure is shown to best
advantage. The left hand is held out
as if extended to welcome, while the
right Is resting on shield. On the
breast she wears on a long chain a
copy of the gold medal with the por-
trait of King Frederick William III,
which was given by that monarch to
the Mayor of Berlin, to be worn as an
insignia of his office. The sculptor,
Professor e. Hundrieser, has been sig-
nally honored by the German Emperor
for the work. New York Tribune.

In technical sense we have no Ma.
tional holidays, as there is nowhere a
power to set apart such days and COM
pei their observance, declares the New
Orleans Picayune. A State can only
establish a holiday within its own
borders, and the authority OF Con.
gress in that direction is limited to
the District Of Columbia and the Ter
ritories. OF course a holiday practi.
cally becomes National when it is cell
ebrated by all the people of all the
States and Territories. OF these we
have only two. Christmas and the
Fourth of July. The days which Con.
gress has set apart as holidays are New
Years Day, Washington's Birthday,
Inauguration Day, every four years,
Fourth of July, Decoration Day, In
dependence Day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas. However, these days are
not celebrated as holidays in all the
States. New Years Day is not holi-
day in Massachusetts,, New Hampshire
or Rhode Island, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas and Iowa do not celebrate officially
the birthday of the Father of their
country, Decoration Day is observed
only in the North, and Labor Day is a
legal holiday in only about half of the
States.

In "A Glimpse of Longfellow," pub
lished in one of the magazines, Rev.
Minot j. Savage calls him "the most
widely read poet of the English-speak-
ing world" This is approximately
true, observes the New York World,
and the cause for it is found in the
-poetAUniversal sympathy with the
literature of all times and countries.
He is the most widely read poet of
America because of all American poets
he read most widely. The extent of
his studies is astonishing. In his
youth he went deep into the early lit
erature of England, and added to the
usual college acquaintance with the
classics knowledge of the Anglo-Sax-
on language and literature which did
much to insure his success. He went
from Saxon TO the scandinavian Lam
guages and to old Morse; then to old
High German and from that to Ital-
ian, making a translation of Dante,
which if lacking in the high poetic art
of the original verse will always be
respectable. AS a result of wide lit
erary sympathies, he was able to ap.
peal to the universal human nature.
If he had something of natural pro.
vincialism in his youth, his maturity
knew no boundary OF section or coun-
try. His works have been translated
into all the principal languages OF
Europe because by long labor he
learned to understand the common
humanity that underlies all differences
of Nationality. The central fact Of
his career was his great capacity for
work. 1t made him the greatest Of
New England poets and one of the
most useful men OF his century,

A new and an olden.

Laughing eyes, full OF glee,
Peach cheeks and golden hair.
She thinks life all II seems,
And for months, days and hours
She grasps the sunbeams,
And gathers Llfe's fairest flowers.

Silver is shining,
With luster passing rare;

With stories and maxims sage,
Talking and smiling.

What Causes Hot Waves.

Hot waves are caused hy low areas
appearing in the northwest and NOV
ing east and south, thus bringing
about warm winds from the south, and
disappearing as the development Of
nigh areas in the northwest. One OF
the accompanying phenomena of hot
waves was hot winds coming from the
southwest, their cause being some
what obscure. DIR. Frankentield
states that as a rule they move in mar
row belts, ranging from 100 feet to
half a mile in width. No good cause
can be assigned for this, save, proba-
