Out Of siaht. Out Of Mind.

A New York plumber demonstrates
that ii is practical to dispose of the
poisonous sewer gas by means of sta
lions equipped with high chimneys fol
the purpose of drawing that gas from
the sewers and burning it. 1t is pos.
sible there might be some drawbacks
to the plan but it seems feasible and
the question naturally suggested is,
why not try it? Well. for one thing re-
forms in such matters are of slow
growth. While much in the way of
complished most OF it has been brought
about by necessity. Anything that is
out ofssight is likely to be u Of mind.
Even when the stencil greets our nos
trils from the %imperfectly trapped
sewer, we hurry by and most of us
forget all about it. Augusta is no
worse in thai respect than many
places, while its naturally healthful
advantages relieve somewhat the Of
Tense of our negligence respecting the
sewers. some of which are "A disgrace
as well az a deadly menace But they
are under ground, out of sight, tut of

The shades of the anti-Federalists,
of the administrations assumption
that the power to recognize Cuba rests
solely in the hands of the executive,
must be exceedingly ~perturbed unless
their views have changed. Those
searching the effects of either of the
Democratic parties for samples of JEFF

A comm,t... worthy ., Fair Consideration.

The Senate committee which reports
| the Cuban resolution is charged with
having done so simply for the purpose
of putting the administration in a
hole Does it not seem, on the con-
trary, that the administration is more
DESTROYS of avoiding the work and re-
sponsibility of the matter? If this
committees act be merely a subter-
fuge, such as some allege, is it not n
calculated t o come home to roost? OF
the five Democrats on that committee,
Daniel. will serve in the next Senate,
and of the six Republicans. Sherman,
Frye, Lodge, Cullom and Davis. will
have to meet the issue next veal if it
is not settled before, only Cameron's
term expiring in 1897. These men, who
with practical unanimity" favored
that resolution are not "lightweiGhts,"
merely ~millionaires, but are men of in
telligence and rcpute in the councils of
tina body. Moreover tne majority OF
the committee may fairly be termed
conservative. Would it not be difficult
TO select a committee from that body
more nearly representive? To assume
that these men. after calling upon the
administration for all the information
in IT'S possession, respecting the situa-
ton. have deliberately defied precedent,
good sense and justice. and assumed
the responsibility of possibly involving
this country in war. solely for the pur-
pose of embarrassing President Cleve-
land. cannot both he creditable to
judgment and to the Senate Nor does
it seem probable that the committee,
the senate of which in most ways at
least ii may be regarded as fairly rep
r~eSentative. is so petty and ON
temptihle. or so inconSiderate of its
future, Notwithstanding its we'll known
variance from the popular ideal.

A Story Of the Cuban War Of Independ-

limo. cloth, SJ.00. Paper, SOC.

Cuba can win more friends through such a volume
than through hosts of other ways less eloquent OF
truth ami justice. 1t is the voice OF Freedom speaking
10 all her people. and the authors soul is evidently
ahre with patriotic thoughts and sympathies. A more
straightforward realistic story on this subject could
not well be written. nor a pen found more suhtly true.
more keenly sirile and cul;uredly versatile than that
of Helen Bowen. Its a ~strikingly powerful story.
and i'll quality is most progressively beautiful. tdoes
not skim the surface OF things. it enters into the heart
and soul of the truest Cuban life. taking with it many an
Englisi, ami American interest which contribute TO
give the story cosmopoiitanism OF element. while We
have romance and adventures everywhere.
The vivid descriptions Of Cuban nature and life
warm the heart OF the Nor,ierner and make him also
wishful to take part in the scenes detailed. Dramatic
ability is manifest in abundance and the whole atmos-
phere is instinct with life and redolent of ropical fra
grances. The characters are drawn with the brush OF
an artist and the story fairly glows with the radiant
dfe of a coming Cuban Independence. ltteiis a signif-
cant tale Of the unjercuyrents of the war struggle
of the degree to which Spain has attempted to conceal
any accounts of Cuban successes. the while the tide
of patriotic rebellion swelled higher ana ever higher.
Its plot is full Of ingenuity and surprises. The
characters are clearly marked and consistent. ana We
stories OF love and war and heroiSm blend HARMONIOUS
~ and naturally. The scene of the story Is mainly
laid in Cuba, but shifts to New York and London and
back to Cuba. where the romance mostly rests. Inc
author has caught the very spirit of the heroic Cubans
and A Daughter Of Cuba is not only the loved and
lovabie and loving woman. but has the courage 70
fight for the liberty of her country. There are no dui
pages in the we'll written story. and the author gives
the best Of evidence OF even better work Chicago

is to the effect that the powers will not

more severe than a gentle appeal to
the tender susceptibilities of the Sui

will be put off until after the Christ

delay is very appropriate. Indeed it is
gratifying that these Christian powers
have enough sense of the eternal fit
