Since 1868, or during the last twenty
nine years, Cuba has been in open re-
volt nearly thirteen years. The ten
years war was very costly in blood
and treasure, both to the mother coun
try and 10 the island, and there had
not been great recovery from its raw
ages when the present insurrection
broke out in February. 1895. Since
the last uprising the Spanish govern
ment has sent to Havana more than
100000 men, the flower Of the youth
and chivalry Of the nation. or these
it is admitted more than $4,000 have
been killed in battle or disease, and II
Is probable that the number is nearly
double that. Nearly half as many
more have been sent back to Spain
crippled by wounds or broken by dis
ease, to be burdens upon the communi-
ties in which they live.

The Chicago Record has prepared a

The Chicago Record has prepared q
postal savings bank bill. which will
undoubtedly be introduced in congress
next month. The idea is a good one
and in a general way will meet with
the approval of adherents Of every po-
Iitical party. The bill as drafted has
some faults, however, which will un-
doubtedly be remedied in congress. AS
1t now reads it fixes limit on indi-
vidual deposits. and also fixes a time
limit on Withdrawals. These defects
will undoubtedly be remedied by
amendments allowing the depositor q
limitless account, together with the
privilege of checking out whenever he
pleases. Another defective provision
allows the postoffice department to re-
loan to national banks and on state
and municipal Improvement bonds
This section will probably be amended
with the provision that no money shall
be loaned on bonds bearing date pre-.
vious to passage Of said bill, and that
all bonds shall be for improvements
made after such bill becomes law
With these amendments the bill would
undoubtedly give general satisfaction

Up to the time of this writing, the
yellow fever outbreak in cities near
the Gulf of Mexico has been less dis
astrous than on any other occasion OF
the coming of that plague. The death
rate has been low, and in the larger
cities there has been no panic. 1t
would be interesting to know how far
this mitigation of horrors is the result
of the sensible course pursued by the
authorities and the newspapers. APP
parently the precise facts have been
given out each day, with such com
ments as the situation warranted. and
the people have calmly and heroically
faced the danger whereof they knew.
Secrecy might have caused universal
panic; and the panic is one of the most
nourishing conditions of the plague.

view, in an affection; but the cure Of
it, through some process looking to in
feriority, is not to be thought of for
a moment. The man must do his
share. He must make 1t the chief OBJ
ject Of his life to grow up to her su-
periority. and it is melancholy to re-
feet that on the whole he can't do it.
