WHAT THE CUBANs READ.

re. NJ. Pepper in Chicago Tribune1
While political parties in Cuba have
gone to pieces in the midst of war and
desOlatiOn, the names are still preserv-
ed and there is even a semblance of or
gsnization kept up. The newspa pers as
body to this sem blance, and their dis
cussion is still carried on under the
forms of parties.
While they carry on long controver-
sizes and criticiSe each other severely,
there is much similarity in the tone
they adopt towards Insurgents. This is
one of indignant remOnstrance because
the war by letting the much larger
number of Spanish troops whip them in
the open field.
Most of the Havana papers follow the
French fashion and publish daily feuil-
letons or stories. They also have their
charades and puzzle department. In
their general makeup they would not
meet the idea of American newspa per
readers, but they are not published for
Americans.
The leading dailies receive the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches and have full
special correspondence from Madrid,
while some of them also have CORES
pOndence from New York.
Their editorial style is dignified If
somewhat pOnderous, and makes pre-
tentions to literary training. The
wealth of the Spanish language in pro-
verbs is utilized to its full extent, and
they delight in irony and sarcasm. They
pillory their esteemed contemporaries
with grace and dizziness. Some of them
personal nature, but I have been
through too many heated political cam
paignS in the United States to treasure
that up against them.

NEW BUG IN TOWN.
The Mosquito Has Formidable Rival
in St Louis.

st. Louis, June 22.-Loca1 physicians
and entomOlogists have had a new field
of labor opened to them by the hot
weather. A new species of bug has APP
peared that is causing those learned gen
tlemen much perplexity, and incidentally
much swelling of its victims.
During the last week numerous calls
have come to physicians from patients
suffering from abnormal swelling of the
lips, face and arms. In every instance
the symptoms have been practically the
same. The lips are pulled, the jaws are
correspondingIy enlarged and the patti
ent complains of sharp shooting pains
extending from the region of the eyes up
over the forehead and head. The eyes
are generally bloodshot, the mouth is
parched and dry and every Indication of
serious poisoning is present. In few in
stances the arms and limbs are swollen
in places.
What puzzles the medical men most is
the ease with which the evil is cured.
An application of warm cloths and a sim
pie internal treatment reduce the swell
ing in a few hours.
The closest Interrogation of victims has
failed to disclose the cause of the pecu-
liar affliction. All give the same explain
alton. They sleep with little or no COW
ering and awake in the morning with
discolored and swollen faces and arms.
One physician discovered that among
his applicants for relief large percen-
tage sleep with their mouth open. These
admitted that parts first effected were
the lips and the swelling and irritation
spread over the face from the region of
the mouth. The theory deduced is that
of insect poisoning. the bug being pecu-
liarly partial to parted lips.
Since an insect has been agreed upon
the services of an expert entomologist
have been invoked to locate and classify
the obnoxious visitor.
But little progress has been made along
this line owing to the lack of anything
like an intelligent description of the Of
fender. One patient, however, said that
on arising in the morning, after being
bitten, he brushed from his arm a pecu-
liar long-legged bug, with short wings
attached to the forward part of its body.
This has led to the partial belief that
the insect is of the species diptera.

oughly rotten, and until this is remedied
European investors should absolutely re-
fuse to touch a single Transvaal stock.
The great depression has not yet made
itself thoroughly felt in the town and
population of Johannesburg. Hundreds,
of course, are already ruined, but thou
sands are on the verge, and in a month
or two more there will be a regular
crash. Hundreds of houses are empty,
and rents are coming down at alarm
ing rate. It is easy to see now that the
town has been hugely Overbuilt and that
town property has been much overvalued.
A number of big buildings, the relics of
last years building boom, are still going
up, but these, when finished, remain half
empty, and one feels sorry for the num-
Der of small storekeepers who are start
ing business. OF a truth, Johannesburg
is about to suffer for its sins, and the ex-
travagance of past years is about to have
it's reward

ILLINOIS FLAG LAW.


1t is a healthy sign of the times that
the legislature of Illinois should have re-
pealed, without any serious opposition,
the law which requires the display of the
national flag on all school and public
buildings. The statute was passed in IL
Iinois, like similar ones in other states,
during recent years, under a sort of craze
which swept over the country. These
laws were based upon the theory that the
only way to develop patriotism among
the young was to keep the flag constantly
before their eyes, and that we could not
expect to have men ready to volunteer in
case of war unless they saluted the colors
at frequent intervals while they were
boys The impudence of this plea was
only enhanced by the fact that we have
still hundreds of thousands of survivors
of the army which sprang to the defense
of the union in 1851, and which was com
posed of men who never saw the Stars
and Stripes except on gala occasions The
truth is that the national flag is really
cheapened by making it common, and
that it is much more impressive to the
young when it is displayed only on a ma
tional holiday, or on an anniversary of
some historic event, than when they see
it flying over the school house every day.
The example of the Illinois legislature in
ending the bIunder of flag legislation
merits general imitation.

ELI PERKINS ON TIE WEST.

TEIf Perkins in Chicago Tribune.1
The east can prepare to rejoice. You
would rejoice now if you could see the
wonderful crop of corn and grain
which is now waving over a drought
region, which has missed crops for two
or three years.
Copious rains have come all over the
far west from San Antonio UP through
the Texas Panhandle and on through
Kansas and Nebraska to Dakota.
Western Kansas and Nebraska are
soaked with water clear up to the Col
orado border and the people are wild
with joy.

600 900 bushels of wheat in western Tex
as and now the reapers in southern and
western Kansas are running in wheat
fields loaded with grain. Everywhere
wheat, corn, oats and rye could not
look better. Good times are coming
from the west to help Mckinley in the
east
For three years western Kansas and
Nebraska have lost their crops. Ne
braska stood the drought from Colo
RADIO to Lincoln for two years. and then
parted with her hogs and cattle. Last
year she had superb corn again, but no
hogs or cattle to feed it to. Miles of
corn bins line the railroads. Corn is
selling for u cents a bushel and not a
hog in sight Last years crop is still

be here and then two crops of corn will
be turned into pork.
The railroads which will profit by
this wonderful crop are George GouId's
Missouri Pacific, the Chicago BurIng-
ton & Quincy, Santa Fe, Rock Island
and Union Pacific. The st. Paul and
Northwestern are wheat roads, and
their crops in Minnesota and Dakota
look fine.
The reason sugar is going all over
California is because beets do not freeze
in the winter there, and they use less
machinery and feed out all the beets
to stock after the sugar has been ex-
tracted. In Nebraska the beets have
to be harvested and treated before the
frost comes. Ten thousand dollars
worth of machinery in California will
manufacture as much sugar as $50, 900
worth will in Nebraska. Still Nebras-
ka is doubling her acreage of beets and
chicory. There is one chicory farm at
O'Neill, Neb., covering $500 acres
The prosperity which the big crops
will bring to the west will make rail
roads pay dividends, set the $4,000 idle
railroad men west of the Mississippi
to work and make the farmer rich and
happy.

CHAS. FROHMAN TO LEAVE.
He Will Make His Permanent Resi-
dence in London.


New York, June PA dispatch from
Paris says:
If things go the way the English thea
trical world is hoping, Charles F'rOhman
will take up his permanent residence in
London this season and America will lose
one of her most enterprising managers.
Mr.. Frohman has secured for next sea-
son three theaters in LOndon-the Gar
rick, the Vaudeville and the Adelphia-
and, moreover. the management of an
other theater has been offered to him, the
main in London for the period of six
months.
AS Mr.. Frohman has met with nothing
but the heartiest welcome from the En-
glish public and press. and as his thea
trical ventures have been crowned with
success. he is making every effort to ar
range his business in the United States
so as to enable him to accept this temp
ting offer.
1t is also probable that a theater here
in Paris will be placed under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Frohman, and a new market
thus will be opened for the works of the
American dramatists. Secret Service
already is being translated under Froh-
mans direction, especially with a view
to its production on the French stage,
and before next season is very old the
Partisan public will have heard it. On
the other hand Frohman has become
very popular with the French play
wrights, by his opening the stage of the
New World to them.

NOTHING BUT TRUSTS.
Debs Says HIS State Will be All
Trusts and Everybody VIII
be Members

Chicago, June 22.-At a meeting Of the
directors of the Social Democracy of
America last night the following Off
GERS were elected:
E. V. Debs, chairman; Sylvester KEEL
fher. secretary; James Hogan, vice
president; VIM. z. Burnes, general or
ganiZer.
The directors who chose these off,
GERS, and were themselves elected at
the meeting in the afternoon are:
ID. V. Debs, E. V. Keliher, Hagan,
William E. Burns and Leroy Goodwin.
The salary of the officers was placed
at 500 per month.
Mr.. Debs explained at length the aims
and purposes of the association. A col
ony should be sent to Washington from
which place he said an official inVesti-
cation had been requested. After es-
tablishing the colony he would secure
control of the politics of the state and
start the co-Operati tive commonwealth.
The first thing we would do after
getting control" he said, would be TO
call special session of the legislature
then We would call a convention to re-
wise the constitution and get all the rot
out of 1t. We would have control of the
taxing power and drive tax syndicates
and land sharks out OF the state. Per
sons shall be taxed according to their
means and shall have according to
their needs We will have trusts, moth
ing but trusts in our state but we will
all be in the trust. The operatives will
not work u or IA hours a day, but four
or five. We will be in the field in 1900
with a new party. These men who rep
resent the new life are going to ignite
as if by magic.
Il do not know whether this question
will be solved peaceably or otherwise. I
hope peaceab bly,. But I am one of those
who believe in getting ready for any
solution that may be necessary
Mr.. Debs said in conclusion that in
Starting the cooperative commonwealth
in Washington, the colOnists might be
running against the supreme court. He
would consult good lawyers and learn
just what the rights of the coIonists
were.
I'VE want to know our rights" he
said, and make them the rebels. If
they send the military to invade our
rights, then there viii be an army of
100000 Pa triots in the state to meet them

BRYAN SHOWN UP.
A Maine Populist Tells What a B ad
Man the Nebraskan Is.

Lewiston, Me, June 22.-Prof. L. c.
Bateman of Auburn, who was the can
didate of the Peoples Party of Maine
for governor last year and who is the
leader of the middle of the road forces
in this state, has published an attack
on w. J. Bryan.
Prof. Bateman says that POpulist
Congressman Freeman Knowles of
South Dakota, While on his recent trip
to his old home in Skowhegan, Me, gave
out the information that Mr.. Bryan's
recent gift of 81 500 to the PopuIist ma
tional committee was made with the
distinct understanding that no action
against fusion should be taken.
This. Prof. Bateman says, is nothing
more than direct bribery.
Prof. Batenan also says that Mr..
Bryan has appended his Bateman's)
name to Senator Aliens letter of nOti-
ficatiOn given out last September. Mr.
Bateman was secretary of the notifica-
ton committee but did not sign the
letter in question. He says that Mr.
Bryan's action in printing his name
on the letter in his new book is an act
of political forgery. Bateman is a dele
gate of the middle of the road national
conference at Nashville, Tenn, July 4.
He says he will bring these matters be-
fore that body.
