The Senate Cuban concurrent (not
tcint) resolutions have passed the House
and some people are disposed to "whoop
UP" the fact Really the resolutions will
effect nothing. They are absolutely
worthless. Let us see. They declare
that state of war prevails in Cuba.
That is true. Next, that the United
States should remain strictly neutral be-
tween Spain and the people OF Cuba in
rebellion against her. Which means
nothing. 1t Is simply affirmation of
a condition that Congress decides shall
continue. This will gratify Spain, and
If that was the purpose of Congress it
will accomplish 1t. Third, it is de-
clared that the United States should ac-
cord Spain and the Cubans equally the
rights of belligerents in all our ports
and territory. But the resolution does
not declare that we will do so. 1t is
simply set forth that we ought to do It;

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Inc olspdtcneS say that King Menelek
is an admirer of newspapers and friend
ly to correspondents. Wait until the
King has taste Of the San Francisco
variety of newspapers, and he may
change his mind.
The New York papers print portraits
of handsome Dell DeForest, whose brain
went wrong and landed her in an insane
asylum because of the use of "hair
bleach" That Is strange, very strange.
The idea had obtained pretty generally
that those using hair bleach are per-
fectly secure against brain disorders
for an obvious reason.
Gilbert and Sullivan's odd conceit
worked out in "Pinafore" has just been
realized in a strange case at Shame
kin, Pa, where babies have been SO
mixed up that no one can tell which is
which, and the local Buttercup is un-
able to straighten out the tangle. II
appears that, at the same hour, in the
same house, two babes were born, one to
Mrs. Jane Norton and one to Mrs. Han
nah Foster. Mrs. Foster is the daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Norton, and was visiting
with her at the time. The attending
physician stupidity placed the two new
arrivals in life in a common berth, not
particularly noticing any bodily pecu-
liarities and without tagging them. to
indicate to whom they respectively be-
longed. He is now unable to right the
mix-up, and the two women are in
trouble in plenty. Mrs. Foster is unable
to say whether she is bringing up her
son or her brother, and Mrs. Norton
does not know whether she is attending
with maternal solicitude upon her child
or her grandchild. So it is that some
times the rawest fiction finds it's par
allel in fact

We have no reason to expect any
special successes for the American ath-
letes at the Athenian games which be-
gan yesterday. The men we have sent
were chosen from college clubs. They
were not early enough in departure to
give them time to ger into fit condition
after arrival. Besides, they are by no
means our foremost college athletes.
They are good lusty young fellows, and
full of enthusiasm, but they are to be
called upon to contest with some of the
best trained amateurs of the Old World
We should have sent on a group of
champions, prize winners, men who are
or have been some time wearing home
laurel wreaths. BY this we do not mean
that we should have sent on profess
stonals, for, as we understand it. the
intention is to eliminate all traces Of
professionalism in these Athenian
sports. If our lads do not bring home
laurel sprigs and wreaths Of honor, we
at least entertain the hope that they
