CUBA.

The Cuban debate in congress drags
its slow length along until it is fast
becoming weaiisome. A whole war
could be fought out, nation win its
independence or forever go down be-
fore the fell strokes of tyranny while
the question as to whether a state of
war actually existed or not could be
decided in the United States senate.
Mr. Morgan, in the course of the long
speech. he delivered in the senate
house on Tuesday, said of Spain's gov
eminent in Cuba that she SPAIN had
sucked this orange (Cuba) we'll nigh
dry, until the sweetness was about
exhausted. That is true also of the de-
bate in congress over Cuba. If the
absurdity of the dispute as to whether
a stale of war exists or not in Cuba is
not visible to senators eyes ii is as
clear as daylight to the eyes of plain.
ordinary people. 1t is something like
eighteen months since the Cubans rose
in revolt against the expressions of
Spain. The insurgents swept the is
land from the east to the west up to
the very gates of Havana. When this
uprising began Spain thought it not
difficult thing to suppress it. But not
withstanding the insurg TITS have been
opposed by large Spanish army,
commanded by the first generals of
Spain. they have not been subdued;
and even now they seem to go to the
suburbs of Havana whenever they
choose Yet our national senate is de
batting from day to day as to whether
or not a state of war exists in Cuba!
Of course it exists. and if a recogni-
ton of the insurgents as bellfgerents
will tend to somewhat lessen the cruel
ties of that war, and curb even a lit
tie the natural cruelty of the Span
ards. or if it will send a thrill of hope
through the hearts of the Cubans
While fighting against the injustice of
tyranny. or strengthen the hands of
patriots struggling to be free-the plain
duty of the United States is to give
them that recognition. 1t is said, l1ow-
ever. that if we. give that recognition to
the Cubans it will provoke war with
Spain Nh Morgan, in the speech re-
ferred to, said in concluding that he
had no doubt that any action on the
part of our government would cause
this fanatical nation Spain, to take up
the guage of war If that is the case,
then so much the worse for Spain. The
government of the United States ought
at least to do it's duty. even if it does
involve the task of thrashing Spain.

ApULrERArroN OF FOOD.

A COMMITTEES is sitting in London in
vestigating the adulteration of food.
Yesterday Mr. t. H. Elliott, secretary
of the board of agriculture, testified
before it, His testimony was to the
effect that among the samples of food
examined by the government fifty-nfne
came from the United States and thir-
ty-nine from Canada, not one of which
was adulterated One hundred and
four samples from Germany were eX-
amined OF this number thirty. We're
found to be adulterated. That is a very
bad showing for Germany, the land
from which the great American hog is
excluded because he is a danger and a
menace to the health of the Germans
who call beer nectar and sourcr0nt
mamma.
OF course no one has ever been de-
ceived by the German outcry against
American pork, not even the Germans
who made it, Under the pretence of
solicitude for the health of the Ger
man people Ga very proper solicitude
when genuine) American food products
have been excluded CIR such restrictions
put upon their importation that it vir-
tually amounted to exclusion, that
the Agrarians might be enabled to
charge a higher price for their own
products. 1t was makeshift of protec-
tor not wholly unknown in these free
and enlightened United States. When
the Gernla MS do such things thew re a
gross outrage; when Americans do
them they are the pures15 patriotism. The
difference is owing to climate; nothing
else.
This investigation of foods in London
puts the brand of falsehood upon the
stories circulated throughout Europe
that American food products are bad.
Some other excuse will have to be found
for prohibiting their Importation.

TALES OF THE DAY.
4 Mouse Frightens Elephants.

AS is usual before breaking up the
winter quarters of Barnum & Bailey's
Greatest Show on Earth, just outside OF
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Mr.. Bailey yesterday
had some hundred or more scientific men
and newspaper representatives as his
guests. They were invited to see the
generally. 'Tode'' Hamilton, as usual,
acted as pilot.
One of the strange things they saw was
whole herd of elephants frightened al
most out of their wits by a single little
mouse.
The scientific men. in the party, among
whom were Professor o. c. Marsh. of the
Peabody museum, of Yale; Professor Fl.
F. Osborne. of Columbia college; DIR.
Workman. of the New York museum of
natural history, and G.. r. Burns, of the
Central Park zoo. were especially inter-
ested in this exhibition.
A mouse, with a string attached to its
leg. was placed in front of the elephant
Mad Hattie. The big beast shook with
fright, trumpeted wildly and tried to
break her chains. The herd took UP her
cry and pandemonium reigned, A mouse
was put in front of each elephant in
turn, and they all showed the greatest
terror Generally realizing the hopeless
ness of trying to get away, they would
turn tail to the mouse and beat their
heads against the wall to which they were
chained.
"They would he just as much afraid
of any small animal or creeping thing,
said DR.. Workman. Their fear is that
the mouse will run up inside their trunks.
That is why they turn tail and throw
their trunks in the air."-New York
World.
