A refugee from Havana lately arrived
in New York says the Cuban capital has
been reduced to such extremiues in the
matter Of food that the people are com
PEELED to eat dogs and cats, and even rats
if they eat any meat at all. The cat and
rat diet, it is said is as yet hardly known
outside of the Chinese colony. but others
are taking to the dog meat from sheer
necessity. DOG catching has become a
fine art, aud dog raising and breeding for
food is now recognized industry" says
the refugee 1t should be remembered
meantime, that some of the refugees who
come from Cuba are able to discount both

The Policeman and tbe Emperor.

A good (and true0 story is going the
round which shows 10 what extent the
violent ebullitions and caprices of the Ger

walking with a friend Inter den Linden,
and in the course of a discussion on the

The Philadelphia Press has this para
graph: Senator Tillman's cousin has Sc
cured a divorce from his wife on the
ground that she assaulted him with a
pitchfork. Pitchforks seem to be a fa-
vorite weapon in the Tillman family"
The Press should have taken the trouble
TO state where this alleged cousin of Sem
ator Tllman lives. Not even assaults with
pitchforks are tenable grounds for divorce
in South Carolina. In fact, divorces are
not granted in that state for any cause
whatsoever

The anti-gambling amendment 10 the
state constitution which was voted on in
New Jersey a few days ago, was defeated
by quite a large majority It's defeat was
not at all remarkable. Those who favor
gambling in any of it's forms went TO the
polls and voted. Only few of those who
are opposed to gambling took the trouble
to vote. Not more than half a vote was
polIed.
These same good people who are opposed
to gambling, and who would make their
voices heard throughout the land If an
attempt should be made to open again
the notorious race courses at Gutenberg
and Gloucester, did not take the trouble
10 vote their convictions into the organic
law of the state. Why is it that so many
of these people who are always complain
that bad laws instead of good ones are
made, do not help to enforce the laws
or to make good laws? They seem to be
afraid that if the laws are good and are
enforced there will be nothing for them
to complain of.
The defeat of the anti-gambling amend
ment to the constitution does not mean
that gambling can be carried on in New
Jersey without fear of punishment, be-
cause there is a state law against gam
bling in any form, but it affords an ex-
cuse for some future legislature to repeal
the anti-gambling law. The refusal of
the people to adopt an anti-gambling
amendment to the constitution can he in
terpreted to- mean, with good show of
reason, that the people have no objection
to race course gambling or any other kind

With rare exceptions the lynchings at
the south have been for the worst crime
known to civilization, and in order to pre-
vent the victim of the fiend upon whom
the mob wreaked vengeance from being
subjected to a second ordeal worse than
death The crime for which the five men
in Ripley county, Indiana, were lynched
was against property, and very little of
that, and, therefore. made the lynching
comparatively speaking, at least amena-
BILE TO the criticism of having been a cold
blooded affair.

Where is Pingree? An anxious CONT
nent wants to know. The Associated
Press says he is in Chicago; the New

papers declare he has gone to Venezuela
The Herald's Caracas correspondence act

the very day that the Associated Press
declared ne had arrived in Chicago The
suspense is terrible. If Pingree is in Cen
trail America, there is imminent danger
that the United States will go to the DEM

if he is in Chicago, we are safe.

any other man who has been in politics
Mr.. Fitch was elected to congress as a
republican, and when he tired of the par
ty he Topped and was sent back by the
same district as a democrat. Tammany
thought so well of Fitch that it made
him controller of New York, and now all
the tickets in the municipal fight carry
Fitch for controller. Mr.. Fitch evidently

There is at least one farmer in Kansas
who is glad that the gold standard obtains
in this country. A Topeka dispatch says
a farmer who lives near that city lost
$500 diamond pin in his field the other
day. If the silver standard had been in
vogue, the farmers loss would have been
500 or more, hence his loss is only half
what il might have been.

Northern Love For the Negro.
From the Birmingham News Dem) .

The north continues to manifest it's love
for the negro. A colored rider in a bicycle
contest at Taunton, Mass, last week was
knocked down by white wheelman and
badly beaten. In Illinois the law allows
mixed schools, but the whites have sta
toned policemen around the school build
ngs in Alton to keep the negroes out. Up
to date no northern negro has been APP
pointed TO a postmastership or other gov
eminent office.

Some Canadian newspapers and public
officials are understood to be much exer-
cised because of the fact that The United
States government is going to send the
Yantic to the naval reserves at Chicago
Under the treaty of 1915 between this gov
eminent and that of Great Britain each
is limited to one war ship in the great
lakes. This government is now represent
ed by an old side-wheel craft, the Michi-
gan, which is of no use for any practical
purpose. The British government has no
war ship on the lakes. Either country is
at liberty to annul the treaty upon giving
six months notice to the other. 1t is
claimed in Canada that no notice has
been given to the British government and
that the United States will violate the
treaty by sending the Yantic to Lake
Michigan. The Yantic, however, is to be
used as a school ship-a practice ship for
the naval militia, hence it hardly seems
that she should be called a naval vessel,
in the general acceptance of the term.

CURRENT COMMENT.
On the Path to Prosperity.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).

Steadily, and with very little hurrah,
the south is diversifying her crops and
multiplying her metal and textile indus
tries. These are the paths that lead not
only to material prosperity, but to the
gradual intimidation of the race friction
which more than anything else has been
an obstacle to the advancement of that
section.

THE SPLITTING habit.

When Sir Richard Burton visited,
in disguise, the exclusive city of
Harar, and was carried before the
Amir, he observed, among other
things, that though the Amir expec-
torated with royal freedom, he was
not provided with a spittoon, but spat
upon the robes of his attendant
chamberlains. 1t is matter of very
general and familiar remark that the
average American spits quite as freely
and with almost as much autocratic
carelessness as the Amir of Harar. If
he does not Intentionally spit on the
clothes of his neighbors, he spits with
magnificent indifference to his neigh
bors' reasonable desire to keep clear
of his expectorat:ons. He spits wher-
ever he happens to be-on the pave
ment, on the floors ofpublic buildings,
in halls, entries, and eleNators, and
especially in all public cohNeyances.
There is a movement afoot to
amend this very Objectionable habit,
and especially to put a stop to the
abominable practice of splitting in
street cars. In New York the Board
of Health has forbidden it, and its
notices are posted IN the surface cars.
The Boards mandate is not as yet
effectual, but the public has begun tc
be familiar with it, and through il
many citizens have for the first time
had it suggested to them that mis-
celaneous splitting is not nice. Con
ductors of street cars are bound tc
enforce the splitting ordinance if theil
attention is called to violation of it
Commissioner Roosevelt says that thu
police will help them, and chat pre-
sently a number of policemen will b'
detailed expressly to see that the or
dinance is obeyed. 1t is importan
that public opinion should sustain thu
police in this undertaking. CoDslde
the brutishness of the splitting habi
as it exists in this country. Ever,
decent citizen should do what he cal
to amend it, both by correcting hi
own habits, if they need it, and b.
supporting the enforcement of tn
law.--Harper's WeekT.
