CUBA IN THE MESSAGE.

1t is now stated positively that Pres
ident Mckinley viii take no radical
stand, in his message to congress, on
the Cuban question; that he win favor
such a policy as will permit Spain to
pacify the island if possible; that he
does not think existing conditions war
rant any interference in the affairs of
Cuba.
1t is true that Spain has promised
Cuba autonomy and reform, but no one
puts any faith in Spanish promises.
what the Cubans want; they say it
must be independence or death. They
have demonstrated their capacity TO
wage a war that has taxed Spain S
resources to the utmost TO prevent the
island from completely throwing off
agement by a recognition Of their
rights as belligerents or as an indie
pendent people, it is quite probable
that they would completely and forever
dissolve the bands that have con-
nected them with Spain, and that very
soon.
If the president treats the Cuban
question as now foreshadowed, it is
certain that it will become burning
issue in both the house and senate,
though in the former Speaker Reed
may succeed in preventing any meas
ures of a character opposed to the
presidents policy being given recogni-
ton. His power is great in this di-
rection, and he will not hesitate to
use it.
Present indications are that the Gu
ban question is destined to occupy a
very considerable portion of congress
time: what the outcome will be it
would be foolish to attempt to say. Al
together the coming session bids fair to
be a very lively one.

REFORM OF CoNvICTs.

The San Francisco Examiner says
that the prevalent method of turning
criminals loose, commissioned to renew
their depredations upon society, on the
expiration of arbitrary terms of i'm
prisonment, without reference to the
evidence, a presumption of their re-
formation, has just encountered an
other signal arraignment, and cites the
case of a Seattle convict lately dis
charged from prison, who, while being
arrested for burglary, killed his cap
tor and was only taken after a battle
with a number of the police force and
being severely wounded. Our San
Francisco exchange, at the conclusion
of its article, says:
AS a rule it will be found that the
later crimes of lawbreakers emerging
from prison are more systematic, more
comprehensive, more desperate, than
the crimes for which they were first
sentenced. The fact speaks i'll for the
influence of the existing prison system
upon those who are subjected to it.
Yet more pointedly, if that be possible
does it condemn the policy of exposing
society anew to the attacks of its enc
mics, more imbruited and more deeply
schooled in crime than they were at the
outset of their criminal career.
If not for the sake of the criminal
if not for the repute and the nationality
of it's system of punishment, then for
it's own protection and preservation
society ought to ordain that terms of
imprisonment shall bear some relation
to good conduct, and, more especially,
that discharges shall be conditional
upon evidences of the convict's reform
There is much in this criticism, but
how shall the evil complained OF be
remedied? That is a problem which
has never been solved. How can prison
or other authorities know whether a
man who has served term of impris-
onment has reformed? They may
know his record in the prison, but they
can know nothing further. This being
so, it would be impossible for them to
have any knowledge as to whether OF
not evidences of "a convicts reform
were genuine.
The prison system of the country is
not calculated to reform criminals and
it is doubtful il one convict in a hun
dred goes out of prison reformed
Doubtless many emerge who have q
desire and intention to reform, but the
path before them is so hard that the
great majority fall by the wayside
Before there can be any considerable
reform among convicts there must be
provision made to aid them after they
come out of prison. The Salvation

A Dallas, Texas, dispatch to the New
York Sun says it is estimated that
there are in Texas about sixty men
who call Princeton their alma mater
They have decided to organize an
alumni association in Houston Deem
Der 6. w. Goodrich Jones, of Temple,
recently wrote to Grover Cleveland,
stating that the graduates desired the
pleasure OF enrolling his infant son.
Mr.. Cleveland's reply will be read at
the Houston meeting. 1t is as follows:
''Westland. Princeton, N. wv.
Goodrich Jones.-My Dear Sir: 1 was
very glad to receive your letter of the
9Th inst. and 1 thank you for your
cordial greeting to my young Prince
tonian. [ am sure that I ought not to
pledge my son to anything, but I be-
lieve that 1 can safely promise that
when the Texas contingent of 1915 or
1916 arrives at Princeton they viii find
a fellow by the name of Cleveland
whooping for old Nassau. 1 am very
much pleased to learn that the Texas
graduates propose to form an alumni
to keep alive the delightful memories
and attachments of college life and
quicken the love and devotion of the
sons of Princeton for their alma ma
ter
With never failing regrets that
cannot recall college days. I am thor
oughly convinced that those who are
more fortunate ought to keep up such
relationship to their colleges after
graduation as will enable them to claim
membership in the brotherhood of edu-
Gated men Wishing you the greatest
possible success in the formation of
your alumni association, I am, yours
very truly, Grover Cleveland"
When Master Cleveland is matricu-
lated at the famous old college, may
every success be his. He will not be a
self-made man and hence he will not
be so liable to make a botch of the
matter.

edition they will find just what they
want. Mechanically the book is all
that could be desired-paper, type and
illustrations. The edition is such one
as makes it a holiday book, fit for
present for the dearest friend, fit for
the library shelves of the most exact
ing. There is a descriptive and analyt
ical introduction by DR.. Henry Van
Dyke, whose personal acquaintance
with the poet and diligent considera-
ton of his works have-desplte his
fame as preacher and success in va
rious literary fields-especially identi-
fed him with the study OF Iennyson
All that one needs to know OF the ORR
gin, progress and meaning of the poem
and of the mutual relations of the poet
with his departed friend and other per-
sonages alluded to, may be found in
this most iiluminative preface, as Dr.
Van Dyke modestly calls 1t. Many
beautiful POEMS" he remarks, land
some so noble that they are forever
illustrious, have blossomed in the val
ley of the shadow OF death But among
them all none is more rich in signifi-
canoe, more perfect in beauty of form
and spirit, or more luminous with the
triumph of light and love over dark
ness and mortality, than In Memo
RAM, the greatest of English elegies. y
The edition is one that is adapted
alike to the wants of the reader and
the student of Tennyson's poetry.

YERKES' GREAT SCHEME
To Transform Chicago's Filthy River
Into q Boulevard.

Chicago, Dec. Twenty miles of
docks on the lake front and the trans
formation of the Chicago river into a
boulevard by covering it with a culvert
from end to end is what Charles T.
Yerkes proposes for Chicago.
The street car magnate appeared be-
fore the city council committee on
harbors and bridges today and vigor-
ously opposed the proposed deepening
of the Chicago river and the lowering
of the tunnels. He urged that the city
should grant the 5000 feet of land
front it owns between Randolph street
and Park row to a corporation with
S50,OO0000 capital to build 20 docks,
each a mile long. which at the end of
SO years will revert to the city at the
bare cost of construction.
Build them of stone" said he land

Professor Barnard Moses, of the Uni
versity of California, says that since
Japan's successful war with China ma
tionalism has naturally received a
strong impetus-that there is a feeling
now that Japan is again all-sufficient
"a leaning which is shown in many
ways, in the return to the use of the
national dress and also in the replace
ing of European professors with ma
tive teachers. He says that the coun-
try is suffering from the vagaries Of a
people with newly found liberty, and
that reaction must come, to be followed
by greater progress, and holds that it
would not be possible after the COM
mercial relations established with the
world for the nationalist to sufficiently
dominate to again close the ports of
Japan. One great trouble with Japan
at the present time is that she has a
bad case of big head.
