Buying Cuba.

The Spaniards declare that they will
with much emphasis that they repeat this
declaration. 1t is made simultaneously by
Sefior CANovAs In Madrid and Seflor
DUPUY DE LONE In Washington. 1t seems
that Spain would be dishonored by selling
Cuba, though she has sold other parts OF
her territory. Though hard up, she cries
aloud that she will not accept Yankee
money for Cuba.
We don't want to buy Cuba. We have
made no offer for it. We have not asked
the price of it. There was a time, some
forty years ago, when Spain might have
sold Cuba to us, and got the cash for 1t i; but
the situation has changed since then.
The revolutionary Cubans are not anxious
that Spain should sell their country to
them. They have never made any PROPOSE
tion to Spain for its purchase. They believe
they can gain possession of 1t without pay.
ing party who has no legitimate claim
upon it. They say that the Americans did
not pay England for their country, and that
such Of the colonies Of Spain as parted from
her in other times got of without paying
her anything. 1t is by driving of the rob-
bers that the Cubans expect to get what be-
longs to them.
There are people who think that II Spain
were to become convinced that 1t would be
best to sell Cuba to the Cubans, this coun-
try would help both parties in the case by
guaranteeing the payment Of the purchase
money to Spain, perhaps to the amount of
$2O0,000,Oo0. These people are mistaken.
We have not the leisure to engage in that
kind of business.
Thus the whole thing is very plain. Spain
says she will never sell Cuba The Cubans
say they do not desire to buy it. The
Americans also refuse to buy, refuse even
togive guarantee Of payment to Spain in
case she should change her mind and seek
to sell Cuba to its rightful owners.
There is no transaction. Meanwhile,
Cuba is marching on.

that unknown persons have been boosted

should advocate the theory that public
officials should express themselves. it
would be called anarchy and socialism by
people who never think or look further

mistic view. 1t depends upon what the
public officials say, whether they will be
accused Of anarchy and socialism or not.
Judge GArSoH is a public official, but do
people who never think accuse him of an.
archistic and socialistic expressions1 Do
people who never look further than their
nose assail his expressionsi On the con.
trary, he is undoubtedly regarded as a con-
servative by the Central Labor Union and
other high authorities.
But these considerations are too remote
from the main purpose Of Judge GAYNoR's
philosophical and poetical address, and tend
to postpone the eliminating and supreme
moment. In this passage, in which reflec-
tion is illuminated with the most splendid
altruistic courage, he depicts the kind of
Mayor that New York must have. and the
inevitable immolation of that Mayor upon
the altar OF municipal patriotism

SEILA was little known when, nine
years ago, the Englishmnn DoSKIS, whose
superb photographs OF Alpine SUBMITS had
made him famous. lost his life among the
SHOWS Of Dychtau in the Central Caucasus.
But, since then, SRLLA's achievements have
surpassed even the best work of DoNKIS.
No other photographs have ever shown SO
successfully as his every aspect OF high
mountain scenery. Comparatively few OF
his views show n mountain from base to
summit, for his pictures are almost inva.
riably made above the snow line; and they
are valued by students of earth lore most Of
all because they show the glaciers, snow
fields and rocks just as they reveal them
selves to the mountaineer. when he Is near
enough to study them in detail.
Signor SgLLA Is also first.rate noun
taineer, thinks little, apparently, Of such
feats as ascending the Matterhorn in mid
winter, and has planted his camera in many
a spot 10 which none but experts in the
craft Of mountain climbing can attain.
The best photographs that have yet been
brought home from the St. Elias region
give only generalized views, taken miles
away from the mountains. In fact, no
photographs yet secured give US a very
good idea Of these mountains. II the con-
ditions permit SELLA to obtain views at all
comparable with his hundreds OF Alpine
and Caucasian pictures, we may study at
home, IL we please, the various aspects of
those long snow slopes and the jagged rocks
rising above them, with the comfortable as
surance that we should hardly get more
vivid idea of them II we were face to face
with the things themselves.
