The president treatment OF tt {
Cuban situation in his annual mes
sage to Con gress is q very tame affair.
He claims that while Spain has not
succeeded in re-estaIlli -hing Ter al
thoritv neither have the insarGen' s
made good their title 10 be regarded
as an independent state. That Mr..
Cleveland failed to take more vigOr
Gus stand in behalf OF the Cuban
patriots surprises and disappolnts
many people.
A wear ago the Congress OF the
United States by II joint resolution
recommended the president to take
some definite action toward securin
TO the Cubans either independence o.
the rights of belligerents. This Joint
resolution, out of Difference to the
presidents high position AS chltf
officer o. the government, while not
in the nature OF u mandatory law
carried with it not only the Judgment
of the majority III Congress but three
fourths OF he people OF the United
States. but Mr.. Cleveland ignored this
patriotic expression of the people.
HIS foreign policy has been curious
study. At the beginning OF his adj
mnistration che people OF the Sand
wich Islands had overthrow the
barbarous monarchy OF tt Z COUNT y
and est ablished in its place an en-
lishtened republican form OF govern,

Uniustiaable Discrimination.

A tall, angular woman, armed with a
drak green cotton umbrella and an air
of unapproachable dignity, stood at the
corner of Fifteenth and Market streets
yesterday afternoon and calmly motioned
to the motorman of an east-bound mail
car to stop, says the Philadelphia Re-
cord. A wagon just ahead blocking
his progress, he applied the brake
and came to a halt few feet beyond
the crossing The would-be passenger
made a Decline for the step, but the con-
ductor anticipated her design and said:
Take the next car, madaEn-we don't
carry passengers" Whats the reason
you dont?" she inquired, at the same
time making an effort to scramble aboard
just as the car started up. "You can't
get on; it's mail car, shouted the man
on the rear platform. THE idea! nut
tered the angular woman. shaking her
green umbrella at the rapidly disappear
ing conductor, to the infinite delight of a.
number of spectators. "A male car and
you won't let women ride on it, I'll re-
port you at the depot-see If l DON'T" and
she made mental note of his number.

Wanted His Leg.

House Sergeant Dougherty sat in the
silent hearing room at the Tenth district
station house on Friday night, reading a
few extracts from Lawyer John Fow' s
speech against the placing of a citizens
ticket column on the official ballot, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer His occupa-
ton, so perfectly in keeping with the
solemn gloom of the deserted room, was
rudely disturbed by a wild c1atter on the
patent pavement approach to the bearing
room door.N and the next instant ludi
crous figure came unceremoniously into
the room. Without a hat and with coat
on only one arm, the man, for such ii
proved to be, half hoped, half rolled up
10 the deck. He was minus a leg, and
IN lieu of that very useful member en-
ployed a stout cane, with which he sue
ceeded in keeping up an awful clatter in
ms efforts to maintain an upright posi-
ton Here" yelled Dougherty do you
want to wake up all the sleepers?" Quiet
was partially restored, and then the man
blurted out: mo, want my leg"
Wen so and get it; haven't got it,"
said Dougherty.
"Well, | want my leg. ANYHOW" return
ed the visitor.
say, do you take this for a museum"
interjected the turnkey.
No; l want my leg, that's ALL"
W mere did you lose it?' asked Dougher-
~ IN the war" well, go back to the
war and hunt it up, and be sure you take
your own" Dougherty said, as he grinned
at his little joke.
The proprietor of the missing limb was
not to be pacified so easily, however and
he became much excited as he insisted that
he must have the leg. Finally it was learn
ed that the leg he wanted was an artificial
one, which has supplied the place of the
real article for years. Just then he was
not wearing it, because his wife, after a
little domestic infelicity, had captured the
artificial limb and locked it up in a bu-
reau drawer. The victim of the grim Joke
tried force, threats and persuasion, all to
no avail. and then hopping from the house,
he sought the aid of the police. When
the full extent of his trouble became
known, Sergt. Dougherty sent police
man famed for his ability in little affairs
of this kind with the complainant to his
home. The three-legged couple presented
an odd sight as they walked away, but
their mission was successful, the wife re-
lenting, and after exacting many prom
ises handing over the leg. Once in pos
session of the kicker, the little man Sc
cured it in place, and when last seen was
walking out Girard avenue with the sworn
intention of reaching Kalamazoo or any
other place where there are no wives to
steal his leg.

Extrn Session TnIL

The republican leaders are discussing
the advisability of an extra session Of
congress Immediately after Mr.. McKin-
ley's Inauguration. They say steps should
be taken as quickly as possible to raise
more revenue. so as to avoid another is
sue of bonds.
1t seems to be unnecessary to discuss
the question of an extra session at this
time. 1t is admitted the government must
have more revenue or that appropriations
must be reduced considerably, but cannot
the present congress be depended upon
to provide additional revenue? There is
a big republican majority in the House.
and it is hardly reasonable to suppose that
the Senate win continue its policy of try
ing to starve the government into ac-
cepting its silver policy. If it should in
sist upon that policy there would be a pro-
test from the whole country.
For the silverites to block legislation
in the face of such a tremendous popuIar
majority as was given against free sill
yer coinage would do the cause of silver
a vast amount Of harm. They had a fair
chance before the people and were beaten,
and they should acquiesce in the result
Of the appeal to the ballot box.
1t is not by any means certain vet that
the sound money senator's will have a
majority in the next congress. If they
should not have. and it should be the
declared policy of the silverites to permit
no revenue legislation that did not recoe-
nize silver. it would be useless to call an
extra session of congress. No revenue bill
could be passed that did not give to sill
yer the recognition which the silverites
demand for it. As the situation now ERE
sents itself an extra session will not be
necessary. If the silverites change their
policy and permit legislation to raise ad-
ditional revenue. the necessary legislation
can be had at the approaching session of
congress If they adhere to the policy
adopted at the last session Il would be
useless to call an extra session because
the desired legislation could not be OBJ
tanned, il the silverites should have the
majority in the Senate
It would not be surprising If the silver
ties should decide to abandon their OBJ
struction tactics and let the republicans
enact such a revenue measure as they
may think necessary. That would be a
wise and patriotic course to adopt. but
are the silverites liberal enough to adopt
It? 1t will soon be known whether or not
they are.

A Georgia Election Story.

One election story, says the Chicago
Times-H Herald, is that an itinerant Geor-
gia preacher, who had one horse and a
large family, was so confident of Bryan's
election that he said to one Of the mem>
bers of his congregation:

"All right, BROTHER said the member,
well jest look at it in that light, an if
Mckinley is elected, I'll have two bosses
an you none"
1t was "a co. but the following Sunday
the congregation was amazed to see the
preacher tramping to town, where he ar

Personal.

1t is a singular fact that while the pri-
mate of all England stands next to the
royal family in rank, his wife remains
plain Mrs" and yields precedence to the
spouse of every newly knigted grocer or
brewer. The same thing is true of the
wife of each and every bishop of the Es-
tablished church. He is a lord bishop but
his wife is only Mrs. So-and-So.
In a recent letter to the Harvard Club
of San Francisco President Eliot wrote
of the late Profs. Whitney and Child:
Whenever we lose men of such eminence
it always seems as if it were impossible
to fill the vacant places, and indeed just
the same places are never filled. The
work which these two men did is not to
be done again, and their opportunities will
not occur again."
"A monument was recently unveiled in
Hanau in memory of the two brothers
Grimm, the great German philologists,
who, in pursuance of their part of their
work, collected among the common PEG
pie of Germany the fairy tales known
by their name. 4 part of the dedication
ceremony consisted of a parade by chill
dren dressed to represent characters from
these fairy tales The monument is the
work of Prof. Eberle-Muncher; it repre-
sents Jacob Grimm standing by the side
of his brother Wilhelm. who is sitting.
