Why do the President and
State Department delay recogniz-
ing the belligerency Of the
Cubans? For several months
these patriotic people have been
struggling to throw off the CALLING
yoke of Spain. The soul-trying
hardships and privations through
which they are now passing have
been equalled only by those of
the heroes of the American Rev0-
luton. What could appeal sooner
to the bosom of q true American
than to see q people-aR American
people-sacrafcing their homes,
wasting the wealth Of their land,
and spreading devastation with
fire and sword for freedOml
The cruelty which has always
characterized Spanish rule has
tended to nurture the spirit Of
liberty among her colonies. Spain
at the beginning Of the century
owned comparatively all the
American continent south Of the
Columbia river. But those colo.
MES, actuated by their hatred Of
Spanish oppression and their
American-born love of freedom,
have, one by one, thrown off the
yoke of Spain until now, the only
possessions worthy of note which
Spain has in the New World arc
Cuba and Porto Rico.
The island Of Cuba has aboutas
many people as the state of Tenn
essee; it's area is nearly twice as
great. Her annual exports
amount to $S7, 100000; Of this, the
United States take $7S,000,O00
worth, and gives in exchange
$1S,OCO,00C worth ofmanufactured
products. SO it will be seen that
Cuba is quite u factor in the
commercial world, and that We
are closely connected with hel
commercially.
From the beginning of the in
surrection the people of tht
United States have been out
spoken in their sympathies witt
the patriots. The American press
has been active in fostering tht
sentiment; and, no doubt, shoult
the United States grand belliger
ent rights to the Cubans, the.
will be enabl ed to bring the wal
to q successful termination. Al
ready a New York syndicate haI
offered TO take $15,000,0O0 Q
their bonds as soon as the Unitet
States recognizes their belliger
ency. The funds thus obtained
would enable them to fit out /
navy, to furnish arms, ammunition
food supplies etc. to the armies
and TO put into the fully 300,00'
soldiers who have been kept on
OF service only because the GOV.
ernmeDt was unable to furnish
them arms.

Thus It was seen that the government
looks after the old soldiers with much
consideration.
A private receives s13 a month for
the first two years of enlistment, and
s14 mouth for the third year IL he
has served faithfully, aud the writer
was informed that careful man
could easily save $500 during the three
years. This would seem to be impos-
sible, but it should be borne in mind
that a soldiers clothing, quarters and
food are supplied to him. Consider
ing these facts, in connection with the
advantages of the post schools, libra
ries, gymnasiums and canteen, term
OF service in the United States army
cannot be considered as other then q
wholesome and beneficial experience.
To those who fret at restraint and who
cannot submit themselves to discipline
an army experience is likely to be very
valuable unless the lawless soldier be
driven to desertion.
There are less than forty recruiting
stations at present in the United States
aud these are scattered over the
country from Boston to San Francisco.
Last November about $50 recruits
we're secured aud Boston supplied
more than any other station, New
York next, St. Louis next, then st.
Paul, then Albany. For many years
after the civil war the majority of the
enlisted men we're of foreign birth and
many of them we're not even citizens.
Now, no man is eligible who is not a
citizen or who has not made legal
declaration to become citizen and
can speak, read and write the English
language. Indeed, the great majority
Of the recruits to-day are native born,
though many of them are of foreign
parentage. There are post schools at
which soldiers who desire it can ac-
quire, free of cost, fair English edu-
cation. Not many enlist for the sake
of this advantage, but very many
young men, once in the service, take
advantage of these schools and on ac-
count of the instruction received re-
turn to civil life much better equipped
for self.support and the exercise OF
intelligent citizenship. Detroit Free

Aud when Cousin Prodgitt and Mrs.

Cocaine on the Race Track.

Within recent period cocaine has
come into use on the race track, as o
stimulant. Horses that are worn and
exhausted, or are uncertain as to speed
and endurance, are given ten to fifteen
grains of cocaine by tho needle under
the skin at the time of starting, or q
few moments before.
The effects are very prominent, and
veritable muscular delirium follows,
in which the horse displays UNUSUAL
speed, and often unexpectedly wins
the race. This agitation continues,
and the driver has difficulty in 'slow-
ing down" the horse after the race is
over; not unfrequently the horse will
go half round again before he can. be
stopped. The exhaustion which fol-
lows is not marked, except in the great
thirst and loss Of appetite. But good
grooms give unusual attention to rub
bing and bathing the legs in hot water
and stimulants. The general effect on
the horse is depression, from which
he soons RECEIVERS, but it is found es-
sential to give cocaine again to make
sure OF his speed. The action Of
cocaine grows more transient as the
use increases, and when long period
OF scoring follows before the race be-
gins, drivers give second dose Sc
cretly while in the saddle. Sometimes
the horse becomes delirious and un-
manageable, and leaves the track in
wild frenzy, often killing the driver,
or he drops dead on the track from
the cocaine, although the cause is I'M
known to any but the owner and
driver. Some horses have been given
as high as twenty grains at time,
but this is dangerous and only given
to worn-out animals, who may by this
means win race. 1t appears that
cocaine is only used in running races,
and as temporary stimulant for the
time. 1t is claimed that the flashing
eyes and trembling excitement of the
horse is strong evidence of the use OF
cocaine. Quarterly Journal of Inc.
