doubt that the late administration did
its full duty in this respect, though the
charge has been made repeatedly that
it did not When the people have been
able to penetrate through the clouds
and vapors of the sensation mongers it
has generally been found that the late
administration had done all that it
consistently could. 1t did not permit
itself to be carried away with the
waves of popular enthusiasm that
swept the country at various times in
behalf of the Cuban insurgents. While
those waves were mostly genuine, still
the agents of the Cuban junta very art
fully started some and used an abund-
ance of improved stage machinery to
make them high and of long duration.
This cabinet meeting yesterday
makes it quite certain that the admin
istration is not going to adopt wig
orous foreign policy" which mas come
to be synonymous with jingoism. 1t
means that Uncle Sam shall always be
trailing his coat, inviting someone to
tread upon it, President Mckinley
will do no more for the Cubans than
Mr.. Cleveland did, and this fact can
not fail to be recognized by the Cubans
themselves. Had Cuban independence
been recognized by this government a
year ago there is little doubt that
Spain would have recognized the
islands independence now. But what
was not done by this government
year ago in this matter will not be
done by it now.

M'KINLEY'S CUBAN POLICY.

At the meeting of the cabinet yes
terday it was stated positively that no
changes in the status of Cuban affairs
were brought to the attention of the
meeting, and that the present condi-
ton of that question was regarded as
entirely satisfactory. All of which
means that President Mckinley will
have no Cuban policy essentially diff
ferent from Mr.. Cleveland's His ad-
ministration may take somewhat diff
ferent views from what Mr. Clevelands
did as to what constitute infringe
ments of the rights of American citi-
zens. Their rights in Cuba are as
well defined as they are in the United
States, but of necessity it is a much
more difficult matter to ascertain the
exact truth about infringements of
them. If American citizens in Cuba
go beyond their rights, offend against
Spanish law, they will have to take
the consequences. The chief duty of
the government at Washington will be
to ascertain that they have offended
and see that they are given all the
rights guaranteed them under treaties
and international law. There is no

The Microscopical Society

The Microscopical Society of Utah
met in regular session on Friday even
ing and the following instructive pro-
,gramme was carried out: Mr.. George
O. James of the University treated the
"Optics of the Microscope" in a most
able manner. He said: 1.-THE biconvex
lens, as ordinarily ground for the mi
croscope, is subject to two errors-the
rays proceeding from a point on the
axis on one side are not accurately To-
cused to a point on the opposite side,
but enVelop a surface known as the
caustic. This caustic has a cuSp and
il is here that we get the maximum
illumination. This is known as 'spher-
zeal alteration and may be corrected
by grinding the lens so that a section
through the axis is 'Cortescan oval.
Ordinarily diaphragms are interposed
so as to cut out the light from the per-
phery and leave the cuSp. Another
source OF error is due to the fact that
the coIors have different induces of re-
fraction, and we thus get series or
foci lying along the axis, the violet
nearest the lens. To correct for this
the lenses in the best instruments are
made of glass of different indices of
refraction so that the dispersion is cor
rected, but the deviation left. This
error in the ordinary lens is known as
"chromatic alteration and the best
instruments, such as good opera
glasses, and the best microscopes, have
achromatic combinations
Professor Whiting addressed the So
ciety on the ''Underside of the Leaf"
He said the leaf for the plant serves
the purpose that stomach and lungs
do for the animal; described the sto-
rnata of the leaf and their functions;
explained that these stomata are album
dant on under side of leaf, but on
upper side they are scarce; that leaves
which occur naturally in a vertical po-
sition have their stomata above equally
divided on the two sides; that with
such plants as the water lily, whose
leaves lie fiat on the water, the stomata
occur on upper side, as the water on
lower side would hinder such in the
performance of their functions.
Spirited discussion followed each of
the addresses.
AS an item under voluntary Re-
ports,'' DR.. Talmage explained a num-
Der of simple methods of preparing OBJ
jects for examination without the use
of the regulation glass slide. He also
displayed a number of mounts illus
trating the methods explained.

CHURCH BELLS.

Swift Ger hill and dale they come.
Through the Weakened mornings hum,
with q music tender, low,
Solemnly the echoes go@
Gently fallingS
Calling calling
On the holy air in joy,
Time is fleeing,
Here is greeting
Here is peace without alloy"
Through the sunny air they peal,
Storm and tempest hear them reeb
Cold and icy blasts may be
Still they welcome cordially;
ThrObbing, swelling,
Message telling
OF a love that never dies,
Promise given
OF heaven
Far beyond the shining skieSi
And their music in my heart
Makes forgotten mem rieS start
OF mothers loving knee
Where l bent in infancy,
Heard the story
OF Christ's glory,
How He died on cross for me,
Pallid, bleeding.
The world needing
Even in His agony
Sweet those happy church bells ring,
OF the SaviorS love they sing,
Calling to His altar, where
Those who love Him kneel in prayer;
For LIES taSking
Blessings asking.
And His pardon for the sin,
That, life ended,
Him attended,
They His gates may enter in!

THE CARSON HEROES.

Without doubt there is more interest
throughout the United States today IN
the two men who are now training at
Carson than in any other two men IN
the country and this Notwithstanding
the fact that there has just peen
change of administration and congress
is to meet in extra session tomorrow.
1t is said that this great interest mas
a very demoralizfng effect upon all
classes of citizens and people OF all
ages. 1t may be so, but it is not so be-
yond the possibility of dispute, but not
withstanding this the fact OF TINS IN
terest exists. If this interest is all
demoralizing, if it shows that some
where in our civilization there IS
weak spot, and a rather large one,
then it must be said that the civiliza-
ton is not of a very robust kind. 1t
NAV be that this great interest is the
animal instinct in man asserting ltselt,
but so long as men are animals such
things will be.
That a person is a lover of brutality
because he takes an interest in puSll-
ism is not necessarily the case any
more so than is a devotee of football,
game in which there is far more rough
ness and in which accidents are far
more frequent and serious and fatal
than in the ring. The associations OF
the ring are bad as a rule, and things
must be considered from the effects
they produce, but at this contest in
Carson there will be present many
people who are in every regard emf
nently respectable. No doubt the gov
ernor of Nevada will be present and
other state officers also. Those officials
will compare very favorably with those
of any state in the Union, but there is
will go up against them. But Governor
Sadler will be only doing what Mayor
O'Brien of Boston did some years ago.
Mayor O'Brien, who was one of the
best mayors Boston ever had, attended
a contest between John L. Sullivan and
another .pugilist, and when he was crit
icised for going, he replied that it was
proper for Boston's mayor to attend
any exhibition authorized by Boston's
mayor. And that reply closed the
mouths of his critics. Prize fighting is
not to be commended or encouraged,
but it is preferable to some other
things, hypocrisy, for instance; and
there has been a good deal of hypoc-
risy in the denunciation of Nevada be-
cause her legislature legalized prize
fights

Grosvenor Thinks He Holds a Full.

Congressman Grosvenor. of Ohio, has
said some pretty hard things about the
civil service law, says the Washington
times. and as he is the spokesman on
the floor of the house of President-elect
Mckinley there are many who believe
that he voices the sentiments of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. If this is true the friends of re-
form can look out for squalls when the
new administration gets down to bust
ness. Somebody said to General Gros-
yecor the other day:
'Grosvenor, l think you are four-fiush-
ing on this civil service business. l
think you will drop the agitation after
tre 4th of March,
General Grosvenor. who evidently
knows what Il four-fiush is. promptly re-
sDonded: Don't you believe it. 1 shall

gress ASSEMBLIES than ever did before TO

The office-seekers are said to be thin
ming out of Washington, but they are
not all gone by any means. Thus far
there has not been much done in the
line of making appointments, but it
seems the president intends to make
the congressional delegations agree
among themselves whom they want be-
fore he will consider applications, at
least this is to be inferred from what
the Washington Post says. 1t tells
this story:
A senator went to the White House
with bundle of papers representing
about 40 applications for consulates.
They all bore his recommendations and
were neatly done up and briefed.
You don't expect me to appoint all
those men, do your" said President Nc
Kinley.
We'll 1 don't know" returned the
senator. I'D like to have you appoint
as many as you can. They are all good
men,
How many places in the consular
service do you consider your state en-
titled top
Il should think we ought to pull out
five or six good ones
WELL retorted the president sup
pose you take those papers away with
you, and after consulting on that basis
with your delegation, pick out five or six
of the best men and all join in recon-
mending them. There is plenty of
time"
1T would be difficult to make a Sc
lection suggested the senator
Not so difficult for you as for me-"
returned the president. You know the
men and 1 don't"
Il mean that it would be embarras-
sing for me to indicate preference in
many cases "
You want me to assume that en-
barrassment? 1 am willing to share
the responsibility, but l cannot make
any appointments from your state I'M
less you select the men. You must get
together, too. / don't propose to settle
any controversies.
That was very straight talk. 1t was
hardly fair to ask the president to
make a choice among so many prin-
cipally for the purpose of relieving the
senator from his embarrassment. But
senators who can have their way in the
matter of appointments upon condition
that they make the selection of the
person to be appointed will scarcely
fail to make the selection because of
the embarrassment to them in conse-
quence.

the establishment discussing history,
romance and theology, and finally the
friend said, picking up a volume: "Ah.
