What Mr.. Sherman Thinks Might
Well Be Done With
Cuba.
Time Has Come for Intervention
by the Government of the
United States.
As Much of a Government as We
Had During the Revolution
ary War.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - Without
waiting for the expiration of the morn.
ing hour the senate, after few mo-
ments spent in routine business. took
up the Cuban resolutions, the debate
upon which was to close at o'clock.
Senator Lindsay was the first speaker
and he favored intervention by the
United States to restore order. Mere
recognition he thought would avail
title.
At lis p. M, Mr.. Sherman began his
speech closing the debate. He spoke of
the keen sensitiveness of the Spanish
people and their tendency to quickly
resent any act they regarded as injur-
ious to them. But, sad Mr.. Sherman,
he felt that the time had come when
the Uniied States must intervene to
put an end to the crime almost beyond
description. The senator said he would
not re-enter on the legal arguments so
fully covered by Mr.. Morgan but he
referred to several examples presented
by Mr. Estrada Palma, the agent and
representative of Cubans in this country.
Have n Form OF Government.
Mr.. Sherman said the statement bore
the stamp of authenticity. He said it
overcame the misapprehension that the
Cubans Were scattered, unorganized
bands 1t showed the organization OF
legislature, of the army, of the presl-
dent-the latter man OF high charac-
ter. 1t was as complete an organization
as the United States had during the
kevolutl onary War.
A Demon Rather Than q General.
Senator Sherman declared that Wey-
ler's talk of "exterminatlng the \Cu.
BANS showed him to be "a demon
rather than general" The galleries
broke into loud applause as the sena.
tor added:
''If this continues. no earthly power
con prevent the people Of the United
States from going to that island and
sweep ng over it from end TO end and
driving out these barbar ans.
Iavors Annexation to Mexico.
Sherman, in the course of his speech,
declared he did not favor Cuba's an
nexation to the United States, but
strongly favored its annexation to Mex
leo, kindred people.
Mr.. Gallinger followed Senator Sher-
man in the senate with a strong appeal
for the recogn tion of Cuban indepen.
dence. He sa d that Cuba was making
the same struggle that this country
made in 177G, and that Weyler was
tyrant. He believed that Cuba would
attain her independence, but that this
country could make the contest briefer
with a proper word of encouragement.
Mr. Lodge said the question should
be determined on the ground Of what
we believed to be the duty of the
United States and declared that the
Cubans had earned our recognition by
their desperate fighting. He an-
nounced that the committee OH foreign
relati ions would accept an amendment
declaring for Cuban independence, and
sa he considered this the proper step.
-r. Frye made speech announcing
h devotion to the Cuban cause. He
was, he said, weary and heart sick, at
seeing this republic doing police duty
for the most wicked monarchy on
earth He would. he said, do, say or
vote anything that would promote the
cause of the Cuban patriots.

The Bicycle In Politics.

The coming presidential campaign is
to bring out political cycling organi-
cation, the Stewart Flying legion, now
being organized at Paterson, N. j., and
named after Congressman Stewart of
that district. The plan is to form a body
of uniformed wheelmen who will visit
the surrounding towns and villages,
where bicycle parades will be held, in
which local wheelmen will be asked TO
participate, after which mass meetings,
addressed by prominent speakers, will
be held. In this way it is expected to
conduct an active and aggressive cam
paign in sections generally neglected.
None Of the active members will be put
to any expense, but any one not wheel
man may join as honorary member BIZ
payment of q moderate fee; which, with
the usual campaign contributions. will
probably prove sufficient for all eX-
penses. New York Post

THE CYCLE POLICEMAN.

1t was an author Of comic opera who
first asserted that policeman's lot is
not a happy one. That, of course, was
before the days Of the "bicycle cop. :"
Since the advent of the latter the oper-
attic idea is no longer generally believed.
The sight of policeman astride BIZ
cycle fairly gliding up and down an as
phalted thoroughfare has rather sug-
gested the happiest sort Of an existence.
That this is not wholly true the testi-
mony of at least one of New YorlS's BIZ
cycle squad is in evidence. The testi-
mony was published over the signature
of Officer John ]. GILES in The Jour.
nal.
"In my nearly seven months service
l have ridden about / 400 hours and
covered over 1 1, 900 miles," says GILES,
land have had but three bicycles in
jured, and only one of them beyond the
hope of repair. In these instances I was
deliberately run over once by drunken
cabman, and in the other two the dam
age was caused by runaway horses which

yet had was in the arrest of Patrick
Curry, a cabman, with pair of horses.
Curry was apparently drunk and had

Fat Men In Their Glory.

Coasting on bicycles grows in popu-
larity everywhere. Club contests are
now all the rage, prizes being offered
as in race. The fat man has chance
with his lean friend in this sort of a
contest, which accounts in part for its
measure of success. 1t is often the case
that a coasting competition forms the
feature of club run. A long hill is
chosen, the straighter the better, and
the competitor that goes farthest with
out removing his feet from the coasters
or sculling (moving the forward wheel
to the right and left wins first prize. =

but should pursue their course unmind-
full Of him, as the cyclist has all the adj
vantage of lodging front or rear. All
accidents are caused by the indecision

"My daughter was afflicted with
Eczema of the most aggravated
type. The disease first appeared in
eruptions on her head, then her hair
began to fall out, and in spite of
the best medical advice and treat
ment she grew steadily worse. The
sores were full of matter and were
extremely offensive. Her eyes be-
came affected, and she was, in truth,
in terrible state. My neighbors
were very sympathetic and took
great interest in the case. They
persuaded me to try Ayers Sarsa-.
parilla, and | am most thankful to
be able to say that this wonderful
medicine completely restored my
daughters health. She has now as
good head of hair as anyone could
wish, her eyes are perfectly well,
and she is fine girl of eight years
with every prospect of growing up
to be strong and healthy woman"

Orphans In Australia.

According to the Medical Times of
Philadelphia Australia is a country
without an orphan asylum. Every
where local committees keep record of
families with which q destitute child
may be placed, and the children's COM
mittee of the destitute board selects o
home suitable for each child that comes
under its care. On an average one dol
lar and twenty-five cents week is al
lowed for board and clothing, but in
no case are foster parents selected who
are so poor that the adopted child will
suffer hardship. 1t must be sent to
school regularly until the age of four
teen years, when it is put to work.
The local committee watches over each
adopted child and sees that the condi-
lions are all fulfilled. The earnings of
\ boy of that class from fourteen to
eighteen are put in the postal savings
bank, and 1T the latter age he can be-
gin his career with little ready
money. AS a result the state has
raised a citizen at cost of seventy
dollars a year and saved no end of
outlay for courts, prisons and reforma-
tories.

HOW TO TELL A STORY.
Evil Can BE Used, But 1t Should Be Co


Evil Can Be Used, But 1t Should Be Con-
trasted with Good.
It seems to US that in good fiction
evil must appear as foil for good; that
it must be set over against righteous.
ness so as to make black black indeed
and white purely white, says writer
in the Chautauquan.
The story-teller need have no express
moral hobby to ride post haste; his tale
will be all tho better if told with the
pure love of storytelling; but we may
be quite sure that his taste is unsound
if he chooses a salacious story to tell
and gives it the JUNCTION of personal re-
hearsal. Here, indeed, is where we
would draw the line. Evil can be used
by the artist with clean hands and to
wholesome effect by contrasting it with
a healthy, solid projection of good.
The chief trouble with current realism
is that it does not do this, bat chooses
to set hopeless evil and ncrveless com.
monplace side by side without any tri-
umphant moral hcroism to dominate OF
neutralizc it.
The ethics of fiction shines in the
character, the moral nature of the
story, more than in the ostensible OF
even the actual moral purpose of the
author 1t is the general effect that
the work is likely to produce when
read by the aggregate of readers which
must be large element of the test.

Centuries Ago.


Centuries Ago.
The characters in The Thousand
and One Nights" may he almost i'm
agined to step out of their setting of
words and to take form and glow with
the generous warmth of life before
ones very eyes. The natives still
drink the same coffSe and out of the
same cups: they smoke the same pipes;
they wear generally the same dress;
they play the same primitive instru-
ments that whisper the same strange
and plaintivc tones: the funeral pro-
cessions wend their way along the
streets as of old; the popular festi-
walls or moolids are still observed with
the same untiring capacity for enjoy
meut; the public recitcrs still prac-
tice their profession before admiring
crowds; the water carriers still carry
their burdens SO welcome to thirsty
lips; except in the houses of the rich
and thoroughly Europeanized food is
still eaten with the fingers and in the
same manner, and the hands are
washed with the same basins and
ewers; the mosque of El-Azhar still,
says the Gentleman's Magazine, at
tracts its crowds of students
Even the old wooden locks and KEYS
are still in use. and the water jars are
still kept cool in the lattice work Of
the ovcrhanging mushrabiyeh win
dow frames. Instances of this sort
might be multiplied a hundred fold.
1t is indeed wonderful change and
contrast that is presented to the eye
when you leave the European and
enter the native quarter. And the
mi'd and feelings turn in unison and
become attuned to the changed scene.
The sense of taking part in a new
and different life steals over you, and

English society is raising a national
lament because men no longer dance.
uostesses have for long time been at
their wits end to secure partners for
young women at balls and dancing par
ties. Now the situation is worse than
ever and remedies are being eagerly
sought. The suggestion is publicly dis
cussed that dancing agency be estab-
hshed similar to such institutions in
Paris and Berlin. Hired guests, armed
with guarantees of fitness and respecta.
billty, would appear at the proper hour,
warranted to dance every number on
the card and not give more than three
dances to one young woman. Some
such plan seems to be the only hope Of
saving the art Of dancing in England.

Crushed by His Gold.

. OF misers who rolled in their gold
have often heard, but it is surely Il new
experience for one to die from the
pressure of his accumulated specie,
says writer in the London Figaro. a
poor-looking, third-class passenger ir
the train from Paris to Turin was a
week ago taken seriously i'll as the lat
ter place was neared. He was still
alive when Turin station was reached,
and was carried Off at once to sofa il
the waiting-room, where he soon died
On examination it WIS found he was
wearing a belt containing no less thar
thirty thousand francs in gold, anG
death had evidently been caused by the
pressure of this belt with its preciou:
contents. The dead man had also rou
leauX of gold under his armPits, though
he was dressed in rags, and SO far NJ
clew to his identity has been discov
cred.
