Near Shamokin, Penn, an unwary med
ical practitioner has been the instrument
of mislaying two newborn infants who put
in simultaneous appearance in the same
household so that when the time came to
hand them over to their respective moth
ers neither nurse nor doctor nor any party
to the transaction knew to which parent
either belonged. The distinction was
therefore made on a basis of conjecture,
and the identity of neither of the innocent
sucklings will ever be positively known.
1t was on an incident similar to this that
Jean Ingelow based the novel of ''Don

Rev. William N. Cleveland, brother of
the President, has been removed from the
pastorate of the Presbyterian church in
the little village of Chaumont, n. Y, up
on finding by the St. Lawrence presby-
terry. Mr.. Cleveland, who is older than
the President, has been pastor of the
church for upward of four years, at sal
airy of 5000. The trouble grew out of the
fact that the Rev. Cleveland is an enthu-
siastic supporter of his brothers political
fortunes; during the campaign of 1892 he
carried his politics into the pulpit and
this started breach which could not be
healed. Mr.. Cleveland has entered pro-

The Punishment of President Cleveland's
clerical brother by his presbytery because
the Republicans of his parish object to him,
no matter if he never breaches politics. re-
calls the case of the wooden manufacturer
at Hartford, VT, who withdrew his sup
port from the church of which he was a
financial pillar, when he accidently learned
that the pastor had voted for Cleveland
either in 1892 or 1888. The Christianity
of such men needs examination by the
presbytery or whatever organization is re-

OF course the Suez canal is a great
waterway, but its business is far behind
that conducted on ship canal in the
United States. The Suez canal in 1895
passed 3434 steamers, or not quite an aver
age of ten day. The 500 canal, which
was open last year only 231 days, passed
during that time II, 495 steamers, 400
sailing vessels and 671 unregistered craft,
an average of p day. If the comparison
be made by tonnage the 500 canal leads by
nearl y two to one. 1t is a great showing
for American business activity.

average shopper is so taken with the

is put on by the manufacturer at con
siderable trouble, merely to attract GUS

"sponGcd cloths" AS no such fictitious
value seems to attract the male Gus
toner or the woman who goes to the
tailor for her gown, it is quite probable
that the slight shrinkage TO which q

Canada might take a lesson from Mexico
In regard to the best way in which to treat
defaulters from the United States who
seek refuge within its confines. Some time
ago Chester W. Roe, treasurer of Powe-
shiek county, Iowa, stole all the money
there was in the public Golfers, and made
his way to Mexico, where he bought some
real estate and declared his intention of
becoming citizen of the country Owing
to this supposedly shrewd action on Mr..
Roe's part the government of the United
States could not secure his extradition to an
swer for his crimes, as the Mexican govern
ment is not permitted by the laws of that
country TO permit the extradition of one of
its own citizens. The representation hav-
ing been made that this system would be a
standing invitation for future malefactors
IN this country to make Mexico their place
or refuge the Mexican government met the
emergency by arresting Mr.. Roe on a
charge of bringing stolen property into the
country. His conviction speedily followed
and Roe was fined $1,000, which was all
that remained of the funds he had stolen
In Iowa, and also sentenced to twelve years
imprisonment. This sort of thing beats ex-
tradition all hollow, and it Is respectfully
commended to Canada for example ard
emulation.

Something Supplemental.

It is true as stated by Congressman
Woodman of Illinois in a resolution intro
duced in the House yesterday, that the
situation in Cuba ''is becoming stencil IN
the nostrils of Christendom; the murders,
the outrages, the barbarities and horrors
perpetrated by the Spanish are notorious
that civilization itself stands appalled,"
1t is likewise true, stated in the same
resolution, that 1.-The executive department
OF the government has not seen At to act
On the almost universal recommendation of
the people as expressed by both branches
of Congress" Neither proposition is, or
can be, denied; and, taking cognizance of
both, Mr.. Woodman asks the House by res
olution of Its own to call the matter to the
attention of the President, and request him
by proclamation to recognize the existence
of war in Cuba, with all that that implies.
Mr.. Woodman's Impotence is praise
worthy, and is shared by many of his col
leagues in the House. There is a general
feeling, indeed, that the President by his
course il not only thwarting the wishes OF
the people of the United States, but making
their government practically an ally of
Spain in the revolving savagery of the Cuban
campaign. That something ought to be
done to divorce this government from Spain
In the prosecution of this hideous business,
and enroll it on the side of freedom and
humanity. is plain The Star has repeat
edly urged this, and urges it again. 1t will
be deplorable neglect of duty if Congress
adtourns without in some way making an
other effort to secure for the people of Cuba
such recognition of their just claims to
American sympathy as weli-established
American sentiment clearly shows they de-
serve.
The passage of Mr.. Woodman's resolution
might not answer this purpose. For one
thing, it contains a criticism of the Presi-
dent, and he is slow to forgive that. He is
jealous diplomat, and will have no other
diplomats but him. If he moves, as In the
case of Venezuela, Congress is expected to
move. But If Congress takes the initiative
as in the cases of Armenia and Cuba he
resents it by inaction.
Still, as the situation Is difficult, and the
President should be put on record, the
resolution of the Illinois member has merit
1t would at least accomplish the purpose of
formally calling the Presidents attention
to the wishes of the people. The concur
rent resolutions of Congress, it is claimed
have no existence far as his official
knowledge Is concerned. They were not
certified to him, and otherwise he need not
note Congressional action. 1t may be bet
ter TO nudge him with some more definite
legislative proceeding.
