THE FRUITS OF JINGOIsM.

There is no cause for alarm and little
occasion for resentment in the violent at
tack made upon the United States by Ell
Commercio. published at Havana. This
paper. which is the official organ Of the
retail grocers of Cuba's capital, is perhaps
quite as unrepresentative of the general
intelligence and the political discretion OF
the Spaniards in Cuba as the utterances Of
the lingo organs of this country are mis-
leading as to the conservatism Of the peo-
pie of the United States.
Whatever the significance of such an out
break as that published in Ell Commerce..
however. 1t has been prompted by the pre-
mature and ill-advised publications and
utterances in this country. The jingoes
Of congress, the jingoes Of the press ard
the jlngoes Of the stump have made 1t al
most Impossible to prosecute consistent and
necessary negotiations between this coun-
try and Spain. Diplomatic relations have
been strained by those who have no con-
stitutional or emergency rights to tax
the initiative. The action Of the senate
in passing the belligerency resolution at
a time when such an action meant the
serious compromising of the president and
secretary of state in their diplomatic CORE
spondence with the Spanish authorities.
was not only an affront to the executive
and the state department. but it was a
violation of the best interests of this coun-
try and of the insurgents in whose behalf
the resolution was passed.

AFTER RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.

The Kansas railroad commissioners, IN
calling for a wholesale reduction in Kan
sas railroad rates, when the present indis-
putable figures show that present total
earnings are unreasonably low, clearly
mean to demand something which they do
not like TO talk about frankly.
They either desire tho practical confisca-
ton of the property. so that bonds and
stocks will be alike valueless; or else they
are after a wholesale reduction in the wages
paid to employees.
If they are merely after the owners they
cannot help striking the employees also, as
wages would be surely slaughtered before the
owners would be cut Off altogether. The
main drift of this whole rate raid. there-
fore. is adverse TO the employees, A 20 per
cent cut in the present rates of freight
would mean atleast a Is per cent cut in the
pay rolls.
The commissioners and those backing
them would at least deserve more respect
for frankness If they would fatty say TO
the railway managers that the conductors,
engineers, shopmen and other employees
are getting too much pay and should be
forced to accept less in order that freight
rates may be cut down, in order that Popu-
lists may be kept in power. No other con-
struction can fairly be put on the demand
for a wholesale reduction in the revenues
Of roads which lately have been or now are
or soon may be in the hands of receivers.

WOMEN IN THE LEAD.

The women-God bless them!-appear TO
be getting a little the best of their hus-
bands and brothers i'm some Of the advant-
ages accruing to a higher civilization and
increased intelligence. A series Of tables
recently published in the London Lancet
reveals that during the past fifty years the
longevity among women has increased five
years. while among men it has increased
but four.
In both cases the increase is attributed to
a better understanding of sanitary condi-
tions and preventive medicine, and the I'M
avoidable conclusion is that medical sci
ence and surgery has made the best prog
In this connection the Lancet is careful to
explain that the increased longevity must
not be taken in the sense that men and
women grow older than they did fifty years
ago. but in the sense that a larger per cent
Of them pass safely through the period OK
tending from 20 to 60 years of age. 1t is also
disclosed that the mortality rate among
children has been greatly reduced. and.
while science has not been able to offer A
person more years in this life, it does con-
duct a larger percentage of those born
through a long life of usefulness between
the cradle and the grave.
Matrimonially considered, however. we
are not so sure that the women will extend

Miracles on Broadway.

From the New York World.
Within the last two or three weeks the
''horseless carriage" has become a common
sight on New York streets. and it is curious
to see how New York crowds treat il.
They are interested, of course. Heads are
turned to look at It, and many even stop
a moment and turn in their tracks to watch
Il after 1t has passed. But that Is all. The
horseless carriage goes on then and so does
the crowd. 1t is another miracle of SCI
ence. but the hundred thousand people who
ebb and flow up and down Broadway have
no time to stop to gossip over miracles
scientific or otherwise.
Students, enthusiasts, "cranks." scien-
fists. closet thinkers and Impractical
men of all kinds work day and night. year
after year. lifetime after lifetime. until we
have telegraph. telephone. photograph,
p-hoto-engraving. the typesettinS machine,
the great cylinder press. the bicycle. the X
ray. the electric motor. the horseless car
rage, and a thousand other miracles in the
struggle OF mind with matter. And we who
are not enthusiasts, cranks or scientists
turn our heads to look at results and then
pass on.
1t is all very wonderful, but we cannot
stop for It on Broadway during working
hours.
