our Southland in doing reverence to the

Now, therefore, be 1t

The Chicago Tribune has no uncertain
tone in regard to the Cuban situation
when it says:
Why is 1t that Cleveland. olney and
Carlisle neglect their legitimate busines IS
and spend their time in acting as spies
and special policemen for tyrannical.
monarchial Spain, In order TO make II
easier for her to crush the natives OF
Cuba and battle their heroic efforts to
break the shackles Of intolerable oppras-
sion?
Why do these three persons display
such an excess Of zeal in behalf Of this
hard, cruel, rack-renting, absentee land
lord, Spain? Why are they so anxious
TO prevent the people OF Cuba from OBJ
tanning their freedom? Do they think
they are undeServing OF it because many
Of the Cubans are colored men?
Is 1t because Of cringing fear OF Spain
her fleets and her armies? 1t can hard
ly be that, for seventy years ago when
this country was smaller and weaker
than now. It did not hesitate to recognize
the Independence OF the revolted Spanish
colonies in South America Spain did
not like it. but she did nothing.
Is II because Messrs Cleveland, Olney
and Carlisle have a furtiye, stealthy ad-
miration for the Spanish system Of gov
ernment in Cuba? 1t is singuiarly un-
American and undemocratic. Why are
they so careful Of the interests Of Spain
and 80 Indifferent to those Of Cuba?
Why are the employees of so many Of the
departments Of the government al the
beck and call Of the Spanish minister
and his hirelngs? Spain has rot earned
such treatment by past services When
the rebellion broke out in this country
she showed no sympathy for the United

The Crew Had TO Leave Her SO Hurried
ly They Could Save Nothing.
New York, March 1.-THE crew Of the
little schooner Percy W. Schall OF Balti-
more, which was burned In midocean
while on a passage from MayagusZ.
Porto Rico. TO her home port, were
brought to this city on the Clyde line
steamer New York from San Domingo
They were In an almost destitute condl-
tion. and wore scarcely enough clothing
to keep them warm.
When Captain A. @. Hubbard. the COM
mander OF the unfortunate craft. was
seen at the office OF the agent, A ].
Bailey. his outer garments consisted OF
cnly pair Of trousers and ilimsy coat.
He mad neither waistcoat nor overcoat
among his worldly possessions. He said
that the schooner sailed from the Porto
Rico coast on February IS last. Moder-
ate weather prevailed until the afternoon
Of the 18th when a heavy s'a was en-
countered. which had been left by pass
ing hurricane.
The ship was being tossed about IN
rolling billows about ,half-past o'clock
on the following morning when the man
at the wheel, peering through the sky
light. saw fash OF light In the cabin.
He cried to the captain who was then
on deck heading the siarboard watch,
"The ships on fire, sir" The skipper
called the other watch, and the men
turned out Of the forecastle only half
clad. and some Of them without shoes
on their feet.
They lost no time In getting to work
In the hope Of saving the vessel, but
their efforts were Of no avail.
The flames made such rapid progress
that some Of the men who cast loose tn.
falls which held the smallboat had their
hair and eyebrows slngcd.
Believing that the glare Of his rapidly
burning craft would be sighted by some
passing vessel he remained In the vicinity
waiting for succor. His judgment prov d

A HINT TO AMERICAN MANUFAC-
TURERS.

A Jananese gentleman, the owner Of
one OF the leading papers of that coun-
try. was interviewed recently by a re-
porter for New York paper. A part
Of the conversation was as follows:
What is the state Of trade between
Japan and the United StatesG''
I'VE sell as much as We ever did to the
United States" said Mr.. Oishi But
the United States sell even less to US
than they did. Your manufacturers
ought to know that We take the money
you pay US for our goods and buy goods
in England. We can buy cheaper in
England than in the United States. Be
sides. England has always carefully man
ufactured for US just what we want.
You have never done that YOU are
too busy. ! guess"
The manufacturers Of New England
and other parts Of the country should
notice the two allegations made by this
japanese. One Of them is that they let
their English competitors underseIl them
in a market which Americans ought to
control:
Perhaps the manufacturers. paying
more for their labor than their English
rivals do. cannot help that But that
is not so as regards the other complaint.
which IS that the English find out what
the japanese want and then make it.
while the manufacturers OF this country
make what Americans want and are sur
prised that the japanese do not want
just the same thing.
This is the old story. II is what the
United States consuls are saying cOntinu-
ally-that American manufacturers do
rot try to capture foreign markets by
studying the tastes. customs and re-
quirements of the people OF other coun-
tries They make goods and say to the
foreigners, IF you do not like them you
need not take them"
That is not the way to build up n
trade. 1t is, however. quite desirable
that the manufacturers of this country
should get footing in foreign markets
and help the farmers in paying for the.
imported goods. There are many in
dustries in this country the capacity OF
whose plants is in excess OF domestic |
needs. A market should be found for |
these surplus products, but it cannot be 4
as long as the manufacturer does not 4
try to find out what the foreign con-
sumer wants. but makes simply what
he thinks the consumer ought TO want
