PETERS, RECORD.

PETER formerly held the opinion that
the office should seek the man. That
however, was just subsequent 10 the
time that he so successfully sneaked the
United States senatorship. Now that
the average Pop leader knows as much
politics as PETER himself, his whiskered
eXcellency has discovered that the
proper thing for an experienced official
is TO corral the position in the interest
of the dear people. So his tow line is
out, which tow line is supplied with in

quite deftly concealed from the average

CULLOM ON CUBA.

Unquestionably Senator Cullom's Gu
ban speech stirred the country. But
something more than rhetorical tropes
and pathetic appeals is demanded. The
senator seems to be in doubt as to
whether we ought to annex Cuba, buy
the island from Spain or make war on
that country in order to secure the inde-
pendence OF the Cubans. A clear state
ment of a policy by which the Cuban
problem might be solved with due re-
gard for the interests of all concerned
would undoubtedly be welcomed by the
people OF the United States; but unless
our statesmen al Washington can offer
sound and practica. suggestions to that
end they lad better maintain discreet
silence.
In the meantime the cause Of the pa
triots grows less hopeful of an immedl-
ate and satisfactory solution. The man.

of the death Of Antonio Moceo was re-

Cuban war. Indeed, the disheartening
effect upon the insurgents produced by
the death of the Hannibal of Cuba can
scarcely be overestimated. But even the
crushing out of the present insurrection
would not solve the Cuban question.
The towering Cuban debt and the fiscal
necessities of the Spanish government
would preclude the institution of any
really permanent reforms, and the with
drawal of the Spanish army from the
island would be the signal for another
revolt. Sooner or later the problem of

A LITTLE MAID / KNOW.

I know a bonny little maid,
I have not known her long,
But many jolly games we've Played
Sung many a merry song.
IT'S just two years ago today
Since first l heard her voice,
And every blessed minute since
She's been my certain choice.
Her height is nearly two feet six.
Size wears a number two,
There is no maiden anywhere
That has prettier Shoe
Her hair Is tangled threads Of gold,
Her eyes the vioietS hue,
From out their clear and liquid depths
The love-light shines SO true.
Each morning when don my coat
Her dimpled hand she'll kiss,
And with a graceful motion throw
She never makes a miss.
Then when the evening shadows fail
And l come home 10 stay.
She meets me with a dancing step
That drives all care away.
She leads me to the big arm chair
And perches on my knee,
And takes the comb and Sticks my half
Till it's a sight to see.
I sometimes make believe II pulls
And deep distress / feign,
With plying look and tender kiss
She soothes away the pain
And then when look up TO smile
She half suspects the fraud,
And says that If don't be good
She won't take me abroad.
She tells me ali that she has done
And ali her baby did,
BY her report there could not be
A worse behaved small kid.
