The Voice CT the Helpless.

BY Carlotta Perry.
T hcer a wall from tho woodland,
A cry from the forests dim;
A sound of woe from the sweet
hc,|gc-row.
From the willows aud reeds that rim
The se'lgy pools; from the meadow
grass
I hear the filful cry, alas!
1t browns the throh Of music,
The laughter OF Childhood sweet,
It seems to rise to the very skies,
As I walk the crowded street;
When I wait on God III the house
Of prayer,
| hear the sad vail even there.
TITS The cry OF the orphaned nest

IT'S the wall Of the bird that sings
His song Of grace in the archc''s
face,
IT'S tho flutter of brokc,s";'ngs,
Ills the voice of I'eIplessuoss-ti'e
cry
Ofmany a woodland tragedy. i
o! lovely ,:r'Ahiu!iin4g maiden, /
The wing that s''arns your hat
Has the radiance rare that GOD
placed titeY,

a morkery pitiinl, deep and sad,
OF all things happy, and gay aud
glad.
O.! mother, you clasp your darling
Close to your loving breast;
Think OF that other, that tender
mother,
Broouing upon her nest!
In the little chirp ll0m the field anu

Does no sound touch your mother

That little dead bird On your bon

Is it worth tie cruel wrong?
The beauty you wear so proudly

Is the price OF u s:!rnccd song;

THE GOVERNOR KNOWS.

Governor Morton knew good deal about The
Raines bill before IL was placed In his hands.
He knew for example. that 1t was not framed
in obedience to the command Of a party con-
vcnton, or any regularly constituted party au-
thority. and that there was no evidence To show
that II reflected general public sentiment.
He was we'll aware that Ii was devised by the
Republican ma lime for the benefit OF the mn
chine. and that whatever merits II possessed
were merely incidental TO that main purpose.
He knew. Furthermore and probably was
panied 10 know. that II was driven through the
Assembly by brute force In defiance OF specific
rules and common dccency, under the stress
OF apprehension lest delay should prove fatal.
For OF course. nobody is silly 10 pretend
that the public welfare required the Immediate
passage Of the bin. Deliberate and orderly pro-
cclurc would have been dangerous only TO the
leaders whose forces were beginning 10 disin-
icgratc rapidly. They did not dare to be de-
cent So much ut least the Governor knew
when the Ralncs bill reached him.
He knows good deal more now He knows
that popular opposition was not crushed but in
tcnsincd by the methods employed to resist H.
He knows that in the opinion of many citizens
whose sagacity and character he Is compelled
10 respect the liquor tax bill IS not merely OBJ
jcctionable because of It's contents but ~lious
on account Of the manner in which Ii was thrust
into his hands and likely 10 be annullcd on con-
sfiiulona grounds In case he signs H. He sees
the tide OF disnpproval and Indignation rising.
and he cannot help rejecting that he himself
Is In danger OF being submerged. He heard
from the cities on Wednesday. and their mes
sage was an ominous one. We do not believe
that admonions from any quarter will cause
him TO forget IT, II the bill becomes a law II
will be because II WAS forced through the EXccll.

WHAT ELECTIONS MEAN ~ CUBA

The fact tha, an election Is about to be held
In Cuba. as in Spain itself for representatives
in the Cortes Constituencies suggests some in
tcrcsting reflections upon the relations between
the mother country and the Ever Faithful
Isle" To the friends of Spain it will seem proof
that the Cubans are not SO lll-governed, after
all They do not suffer, as did the North Amcri-
can coonisis in 1916, taxation without repre-
scnia..on. They have n delegation In the Ma
tlonn Parliament proportonate to their num-
bcrs, just as well as Aragon or CASTLE. They
have a voice In the lawmaking OF the King
dom They are treated as full subjects of the
Kingdom Why should they complain? Why,
indeed. II that statement Of the case were IA
true practically as 1t is theoretically But we
all remember the saying about the lie that Is
half n truth.
In the Senate OF the Cortes Cuba has sixteen
members In the House it has thirty members.
These were granted in 1873, rs one Of the con-
ccssions made to the island at the end Of the
ten years war. Before that time, for more
than forty years Cuba had been unrcprcsencd
I'm the Corcs, and had been governed by
Captain encral who was rs absolute and arbi-
trary as n Car. When Martinez de Campos in
1873 secured for the island the privilege of send
|
faith. and was sincerely DESTROYS Of giving to
the Cubans the political rights they demanded
and deserved But the Spanish Government
had no such intention 1t hedgcd the new priv
ilcgcs about with such conditions rs to make
them a moclcry and deluslon. Cuba Is indeed
represented In the Cories, but the Cubans are
not. or scarcely at all II Is the handful of
Spanish ofcc-hoders and merchants who are
oil larp
In Spain there IL practically universal suffrage
In Cuba the franchise is restricted to those who
pay taxes amounting to $50 a year more.
The result Is that In total population Of more
than 600 900 there are only abont $4,000 voters,
or. say 3 per cent Of the whole. This miserable
| minority Is. moreover composed chiefly Of Span
| inrds provision OF the law allows all the
| employees Of commercial house to be reckOncd
| MS partners and thus TO become voters, whether
| they individually pay the required taxes or not.
| In that way almost every adult male Spanard
on the island Is made an elcctor A specimen
district has been cited In which there are 1880
| Cubans and only 800 Spaniards yet In which
| the poll-lists show only 81 Cuban voters to 400
| Standards Thus while so per cent OF the Span
| iards vote only Onc-f0urth OF l per cent OF the
Cubans have that privilege.
| Nor Is 1t all that the Deputies chosen are
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1896-03-20

representatives not OF the Cubans, but OF tne
Standards. who form less than 10 per cent Oh
the population of the island The deputies
themselves are Spanards, often men VINO 90 no'
live in Cuba. If. indeed they have ever even
visited it. Several of the present candidates
ore residents Of Spain. Some are officers OF the
Spanish Army, now engaged In trying to crush
the rebellion. Scarcely one is Cuban. lndeeu,
in the whole delegation Of sixteen Senators anu
thirty deputies there have seldom oeen inole
than three and never, it Is said, more than slH
Crhans For Cuban TO seek to be Senator
IS almost hopeless for such are the PROVISIONS
Of the law that scarcely one hundred Cubans are
eligible to seats in that body. Such are the con-
ditions of Cuban representation in the Cortes.
The whole system is a CHASTITY farce II would
no more honest and decent to abolish 1t and re-
turn to the old despotism Of the Capfain-Gen'
oral. and II would be about as well-or, rather
no worse-for the unrepresented and missov-
erned people Of Cuba.
