THE CUBAN STRUGGLE.

The dispatches for the past few days
have been recording the rapid adj
vancement of the Cuban insurgents
upon the fortified city of Havana.
For the most part the accounts are
jubilant at the prospect of the insur-
gents winning their independence.
Day after day by wire and by letter
the news has come of insurgent sue
cess and Spanish retirement in the
direction of Havana. For some time
General Campos seems to have avoided
a general engagement as much as the
insurgent leaders; and we regard the
present silence and apparent mac
tiyity Of the Spanish forces as more
threatening to Cuban success than the
aggressive activity some weeks
ago Of the Spanish troops out
in the sparsely settled dis
tricts Of the island. In other words, we
believe and fear that the retirement
of the Spanish forces into Havana and
its vicinity was for the purpose of
bringing into one body all the insur-
gents for the purpose of crushing them
in a general engagement. The success
of the Cuba.ns in the past has been due
to the guerilla warfare they have
waged. If they abandon that kind of
warfare now and attempt an attack
on the strongly fortified city of
Havana, in which is concentrated all
the Spanish forces, there is very great
danger of an insurgent defeat that
will crush for a time the revolutionary
cause.
In common with all Americans our
sympathies so out to the Cuban Revo-
lutionists. We think our government
should recognize them as belligerents.
Though not SO sanguine as Senator
/ Call, Of Florida. that everything fndi-
Gates the success of the Revolutionary
party in Cuba. still If a recognition of
the struggling insurgents as beIliger-
ents by the United States would
strengthen the hands and bring joy
to the hearts Of patriots fighting for
freedom-ard most assuredly it would
have that effect-then our government
ought to give such recognition. Mean
time we hope Gomez and his lieuten-
ants viii not be led into trap that we
fear has been laid for them by the
cunning of General Campos. That he
is an able soldier goes without saying:
though greatly harrassed, and in the
skirmishes Of the Cuban jungles with
the insurgents his troops were beaten,
yet he sustained no great loss. and
now has an army numbering five to
one Of the insurgent force now before
Havana. 1t can scarcely be expected
that under these circumstances the
Spanish general intends to surrender
to the insurgents. The great proba-
bility is that the Cubans have followed
rather than driven the spaniards to
Havana, and that there Campos has
drawn together the insurgents that he
might crush them. While anxiously
awaiting for the news of the pending
battle, we give our hope to the success
of the cause Of Cuban independence.

NATIVE horn CHINESE.

The other day Judge Morrow of Call
| ifornia decided in a case that came be-
fore him that a. child of Chinese pa
rents born in the United States was a.
citizen thereof, How he could have de-
cided any other way is difficult mai
ter to see. Commenting upon the de-
cislou the San Francisco Chronicle
says:
There seems little doubt about the
soundness of the judges law, but those
who have studied the subject are fullv
aware of the fact that a person of the
Chinese race. born in the United
States, is practically as much an alien
as though he first saw the light in
China. The absolute mona ssimilative-
ness of the Chinese is amply illustrated
in this city, where children of that race
are born and grow I'D to manhood
without acquiring a single western
habit or sharing a single western
thought.
That is probably true, but wherein
lies the remedy? No doubt the Chinese
are the most non-assimilable race by
the Americans of all Within the Dor
ders # the United States. The case
points out very forcibly the fact that
the United States do not assfnilate SO
rapidly nor 50 thoroughly as formerly
those who come to our shores. The
HUNS and Poles of the PENNSYLVANIA
mining regions are as alien to Aneri-
can political thought and ways as the
Chinese Of the Pacific coast. Nor are
the Italian colonies in the various
states much more Americanized. The
forming of foreign colonies in the coun-
try is equally bad for those who belong.
to them and the country. The evil of
this is naturally greater and more pat
ent in the large cities than in the
country So great has it grown that
political parties recognize it in catering
to this, that or the other vote, thereby
aiding in the perpetuation of that
which should not be. The country has
grown more rapidly in population by
immigration than has been entirely for
its best good, for much of it has come
for material advantages, caring little
or nothing for its political Institutions
or the ideas for which they Gtand

TOO MUCH SOCIETY.

Senator Hill Of New York has Ger
tainly made things lively in the senate
since he became a member of that
august body Of staid legislators. He
is something of Cassius in his char
acter, and the description Of the old
Roman Cassius that Shakespeare puts
in the mouth of julius Caesar fits the
New York senator: ''de reads much;
he is a great observer, and he looks
quite through the deeds of men; he
loves no plays, he hears no
music; seldom he smiles, and smiles
in such sort as If he Knocked him
self and scorned his spirit that could
be moved to smile at any thing" Such
a character perhaps lacks the softer
graces that make men lovable, but
such a makeup is built for work and
beyond question David B. Hill can and
does work; and as he does work on
the public questions that confront our
national legislators, it IS but natural
that he should be somewhat out of
patience with his fellow legislators
who are given to the social festivities
Of the nations capital.
He appears to think, too, that women
are somewhat responsible for taking
away senators and representatives
from the stern work of legislation. In
an interview with the Brooklyn Eagle
he is represented as saying:
/ think it would be a mighty good
idea if the women were packed away
and sent out of washington and the
men left alone here to attend the
business that they are sent here for
by the country. The trouble is there

a STRANGE CONTRAST.

The San Francisco Chronicle, COM
menting on the Inauguration of Gov
ernor Wells, says:
The spectacle Of Judge Zane sitting
on the same platform with the Nor
mon leaders, Woodruff and Cannon.
and helping to inaugurate another Nor
mon as governor of Utah, is one of the
most remarkable in the annals Of the
west. Judge Zane has condemned
scores of Mormons to jail for illegal CO.
habitation. He once issued a warrant
for George Q. Cannon's arrest. and the
ablest man in the Mormon church was
forced to travel on the underground"
and seek safety on this coast. And all
these things happened scarcely a dec
ade ago. It makes one think of the
lamb and the lion lying down together.
only this time the lamb is not inside
the other beast.
To those who have not had personal
experience of the changes that have
taken place in Utah such a sight as
was presented in the Tabernacle at the
Inauguration of Governor Wells must
have been strange indeed. We make
history rapidly in this age of steam and
electricity, but in no part of the coun-
try has history been made more rap
idly than in Utah The days of the
underground" seem as far away al
most as those of the rebellion. And
everybody in Utah rejofces to think
that they are so far in the past and
that they will never return again.
That spectacle which appeared 50
strange to the Chronicle was pleasant
one to the people of Utah. for it was
proof absolute that in Utah the past
Is past and that all her citizens will
henceforth be united in advancing the
common cause of the state.

The new senator from Texas. was born
in Smith county, Texas, December 20
1853 He was reared in Tyler, Texas
where he has since resided. He was
educated in the schools of that town
and the Lynnland institute in Harden
county, Kentucky. He became a prin-
ter, established a paper in Tyler. and
at the same time studied law, and now
has a large practice.
He was assistant attorney general Of
Texas in 1881, and a delegate to the ma
tional Democratic convention, held Dir
ST. Louis, in 1881.

$4,000 annually in perpetuity from Mr..
Carnegie's estate. In the letter which
he addressed to them, and which was
presented at the meeting, he stated
that the sum of money so given was
to be used for the purpose of the art
galleries and museum in the manner
which might to them seem best calcu-
lated to render those institutions most
useful for the general public. To this
gift he added but one provision, which
he begged they would regard. 1t was
this:
That there be purchased each year
two or more pictures by American ar
fists exhibited in that year, preferably
in the Carnegie art gallery. These pic
lures to be chosen by tWo-thirds ma
jority vote of the trustees and hung
upon the walls of the art gallery per-
manently, year after year, adjoining
each other, the year of purchase be-
ing conspicuously marked upon them.
the object being to secure a chronolog-
ical display of American art from this
time forth. as shown by these pictures.
Should the trustees fail to find salts
factory pictures from among these ex-
hibits in any year in the Carnegie gal

other galleries.
1t is a very wise provision, and that
it will be regarded there is no doubt.
1t was exceedingly wise to provide that
the trustees might make purchases
from exhibits in other galleries when
those in the Carnegie gallery were I'M
satisfactory. This will give them lib
erty to purchase from American ar
fists who may be in Europe, but may
not be exhibiting in this country.
Otherwise the trustees would have been
limited in their choice. which would
have been bad for the gallery and for
American art. Had Mr.. Carnegie add
ed that when, in any year, no American
pictures were exhibited that were wor-
thy of place in the gallery the trus-
tees should have the option not to
make any purchase, it would have
been still further in the interest of
arr.
Mr.. Carnegie has endowed Pittsburg
with magnificent library and art
museum, and as time goes on the cit
liens of that place will appreciate it
more and more, and recognize that he
gave them that which they most need
ed-the means Of cultivating art and
literature, the great embellishments of
civilization.
