GEN. FITZaIUGII LEE.

The Washington Star Of Sunday con-
tains q tribute to General Fitzhugh
Lees worth as the representative Of this
government in Cuba, and as man.
which Is altogether just, and
which Is highly gratifying to his
friends. Among other things our con-
temporary refers to the fact that when
the new administration came into pow
er it Suggested that Lee should be re-
no" for 1t is rare that a man like Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee can be found for SO
difficult a post. It was pointed out that
Lee had been conspicuously successful
there; that lie had forced respect for his
authority against the discouraging in
fluences OF his former chief; that in
every way. he had shown such conspi-
cuous fitness for the post, a change in it
while the Cuban problem was still un-
solved might work harm to American
interests in the island.
1trepeats that suggestion now, it says
with ten-fold the reason that sustained
it then, for it is so very much palmer

General Lee has earned the gratitude
Of his countrymen.f All information from
Havana. whether from public or private
sources, Is laden with praise Of his as
siduity, his earnestness,i and his sue
cess In looking after american affairs
there. He keeps his pluck and temper
under the gravest circumstances. He
presses NIL proper inquiries home. This
Ruiz investigation is the result Of an
assertion Of his belief that DR.. Ruiz
was murdered. This appropriation Of
money for the relief Of starving Amerl-
cans IN the island is largely the result
OF his representations or things The
facts were before him, and he did not
rest until they were properly appre-
ciated here ut home. Ordinarily, Gene
raj Lee would come home promptly
might have come before this even. He
is a good Democrat. and would seek
neither office nor retention IN office un-
der a Republican administration But
the Cuban question is not political
question. Democrats and Republicans
alike are for freedom in Cuba And as
Democrats here are in alliance with Re
publlcans III pressing justice for Cuba,
General Lee can With all consistency
and propriety remain in office III Ia-
vana, and aid a Republican administra-
ton In the carrying out Of a sound
American policy.
The Star Is entirely right in what it
mas to say OF Consul Gene
raj Lee. and the government
VIII make no mistake If it fol-
lows the advice which our contemporary
gives II. III the meanwhile his friends
down In Virginia and indeed throughout
the South appreciate the kind words 1t
has to say Of him.

"NO TIME TO ROSE"

When the photographer of the New
York World requested the privilege of
taking q picture Of the Cabi-
net few days ago, President
dent Mckinley Is quoted as saying that
This is the first and last photograph
to be taken OF this Cabinet We have
no time to pose"
The country no doubt Will be glad to
hear this. but at the same time it is
curious to know what kind Of business
it Is that keeps the President and his
advisers SO much employed 1t is true
that 1t may require some time to hunt
UP the whereabouts Of the Presidents
promised prosperity TO the country, and
1t is equally true that time is required
to decide as to what they should do
about the Cuban question, and then the
mad rush Of their constituents for office
Is continual bother but since they
seem to be doing nothing in either OF
these matters the country would like to
know just what it is that so occupies
their time.
In addition. the currency question
The Norfolk Virginian. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 186?-189?, 1897-05-25

seems to have been shclved, and Mr..
Speaker Reeds House "aipt' furnish
Ing the Cabinet any business to handle.
Ex-Secretary Of the Treasury Foster
has sailed for England to tell John Bull
that 1t isn't fair for him to kill SO many
seals when we want some ourselves,
and as he wifi settle the matter that
question is out Of the way Of the Cabi-
net. so then why should the President
and his official household be so pressed
for time?
President Mckinley don't go fishing;
Mr.. Secretary Sherman is too old to ride
q bicycle, and Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy Roosevelt has returned to the
Capitol from an inspection Of the Nor
folk navy-yard, and there are no base
ball games in the Capital City for a
month. Why. then, is 1t that the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet do not get down
to work for the relief Of the country?

The new Secretary of Agriculture ex-
tion OF the Southern agriculturists III his
efforts to make the department over
which he was recently called to pre-
side. one Of practical utility, and It goes
without saying that our people, without
exception, will be glad 10 join him in his
undertaking. In the last Issue OF the
Manufacturers Record Of Baltimore
there appears an interview with Secreta-
~ Wilson. in which that official says:
Prompted by direct intimation
from the President himself, this de-
partment may be relied upon to give
the South certainly as large a share
OF official consideration as 1t has ever
received before. Nand 7 believe Il will
tuin out to be a little larger And
with that end in view am going,
just as soon as can manage 10 get .
away. to make an extended trip
throughout the South, studying Its
resources and It's needs and getting.
better acquainted with the Southern
people on their native heath.
Having lived in the North do not
know as much about your part of
the country as I should like to know
and as intend to know. And 50
otiSiA Cdif start OH my southern
trip I shall always be glad to talk
with Southern men who are in a po-
s!tion to acquaint me with the needs
OF :he South from the point Of view
of the department. and to suggest
how I may lend a helping hand in
promoting the Sou.hs prosperity.
Il am particularly anxious when 7
go South to get In touch with your
farmers or planters, as believe you
cali them"
The Secretary should take a trip
through the South that he may learn
more Of our people and conditions. The
prosperity Of the South will affect the
entire country, and it is within the Sec
retary's power to advance that interest.
He will be welcome and will find much
in the South to interest, indeed, much
that will be revelation TO him

hard after all, except that his liberty is
curtailed.
It has become SO that a man who has
money; If sent to jail to serve term
OF imprisonment, can have his room
converted into q bower of roses If he
chooses to pay for It. and can live as
luxuriously as any king in his gllded
palace. Mr.. Broker Chapman has two

four lounging chairs, refrigerator and

Mr.. Chapman refused 20 tell the SEM

Ing the Sugar Trust transa ctlons, and
In consequence was sentenced to jn!l for
