Today Means Much for Cuba.

Should Congress grant belligerent rights to the
Cubans today it will be act Of mercy Tor which the
civilized world will be thankful At o'clock this after
the question will to VOTE and there is good
to believe that concurrent resolution Will be
adopted which will put end to the brigandke butch
of the Spaniards and place the Cuban war on less
barbdrous footing.
Aside from the duty this country republic
patriots DESTROYS Of attaining like condition. the
ogntion of the Cubans by Congress will be a business
transaction that will do to their future favor
and trade than years of active commercial soliciting. The
profitable from Cubas rich fields heretofore abb
sorbed by Spain will naturally fall to the friend that
helped her in time of need and the Cubans
achieve independence expression of national SYM
pathy is certain to win their practical gratitude.
1t is estimated that there s25 OOO 900 of Amer
lean capital already invested III Cuba which will bring
returns until peace has ended her struggles Should it re-
suit in Spanish supremacy the increase of taxes to meet
the expenses of the would make this investment
profitable; but with Cuban success made possible by
act of Congress- American Investments both and in
future would be of satisfactory Before
the the ANIMAL net revenue of Cuba about $780,
000 000 and under economical Cuban rule that amount
would be largely increased inasmuch it is believed that
Spanish officials quander and steal at least $50 900
year.
1t is useless to speculate the proportion Of this
income that would reach this country result of
mercal intercourse but it be taken for granted
that with friendly feeling existing between Cuba and
the United States the amount would be entirely satisfac
tory 1t perhaps unfortunate that the Administration
has shown such hostility to the Cuban and has
long neglected to encourage recognition But if Congress
acts promptly ard avoraby today the arrests and prose-
cution of alleged fbusters will be forgotten
and the sentiment of the American people will be in
dictated by their representatives

DIAMONDS DISAPPEAR
Some Big Gems, the Htding Place OF
which l. Unknown


which l. Unknown.
One OF the most mysterious things
about diamonds Is the ease with which
they can disappear. TWO centuries ago.
Tavernier. French ieweicr, very fond OF
travel. made his way 10 the East. where
he ingratiated himself in the favor OF
most OF the princes ana potrntotcs OF India.
A connoisscur IN diamonds, lie managed
to obtain views and personal examinations
of the precious stones then IN the treas
uries of rich moaarchs. lie brought back
accounts OF no less than seven diamonds
OF great size. none less than 200 carats,
all of which he weighed and described with
an accuracy that gave evidence of the truth
of his statements
Not one of these diamonds has ever been
seen since OF course, il IS easy 70 say
that TaYernier was romaneing, ard that the
huge gems existed only in his imagination.
but in the case OF two or three TavernieT's
descriptions are sustained h.: the testimony
OF other experts. while Indian historians are
equally explicit concerning one OF two
OF the others.
With regard to the Great Mogul,"
the largest of all known diamonds. there
is abundance of testimony as 10 size and
weight in addition to the statements or
Tavernier It was GoIcoRda gem, and
weighed Isl carats in the rough, though
much reduced by cutting.
1t was the property OF Vizier Mirgimola,
a yassal of the King OF Goicandlt- who de
terniined to have him aSsasSinated in order
to obtain the gem. But Mirsimola escaped
with his Jewels to Shah Jehan. At that time
the Great MoGul. who speedily learned OF
the diamond, and intimated that il would
be delicate and acceptable present. Mir
ginola took the hint, the shah got the
gem. and, while ii was in the treasury OF
Arungzebc, his successor, TaycrRieI ex-
amincd and weighed il.
1t has never teen mentioned as seen by
any one since. and, whether it was hidden
before Nahir Shah captured Delhi, or
whether it was part or TIE spells, is IN
known. 1t may have Ieen divided into
a number of smaller gems. or it may be
now concealed in some fortress in India,
Persia or Arabia, as was tie crown OF

future time, when it is safe lot the owner

Politicians and Postoffices,

Millions of dollars are annually paid out
by the government for the maintenance Of
pOs;offices of the foarth-class. A good
many of these millions might be saved If
Congress were 10 authorize or direct the
Postmaster General TO consolidate wher-
ever practicable, the smaller offices; that
is. make them sub-staiions Of Il larger office
near by, and thus cut off the expense
involved in maintaining so many separate
establishments. II is, however. not only
a question of greater economy, but of better
service, and the consolidation, therefore. is
advisable upon two very important grounds.
The trouble with carrying this desirable
reform into practicable effect lies in this
while it would benefit the people it would
hurt the politicians, whom il would deprive
OF about the only patronage which. under
the operations of The civil service law, is
still left to them. Yet in this very OBJ
lection of the politician lies another good
reason for bringing the change about, for
the more the speils element is eliminated
the better will be the quality of our politics
and politicians. Every fourth-clasS post
master abolished would become a clerk TO
soar other postmaster, and subject to the
