The vote when the joint resolution
recognizing Cuban beAigerency was
passed in the senate shows that the
question was not partisan one Twelve
Republicans and two Democrats we're
against it in a total vote of 55. The first
effect of such joint resolution will be
that the United States naval vessels
will no longer be obliged to keep guard
along our coast to prevent the shipment
of arms and supplies to Cubans. The
patriots will have exactly the same law
full right as Spain now has to openly
purchase supplies In our markets. 1t
will still be unlawful for Us to allow
bodies of armed men to go from our
shores in aid of the Cubans, for we are
at peace with Spain Another effect OF
our recognition of Cuban belligerency
will be to give Spanish gunboats the
RIGHT to search our vessels. Our ac-
knowIedging of Cuban belligerenoy
places Spain and Cuba, so far as we are
concerned, exactly ON the same plane az
Greece and Turkey. They are two ma
tions at war with each other, both be
1no nations with which the United
States is at peace. And when the senate
passed that resolution it struck thu
death knell of Spanish dominion in tn
western hemisphere

Commencement Time.

There are some SOC colleges of all
kinds in this country. At least 10000
students will be graduated from them
during the leafy month of June. Many
of these students are young men and
women who have already thought into
the social and economic questions of the
time We know that in their hearts at
least half of these brainy youths have
two clearly defined purposes in their
minds The first is naturally to earn
good living for themselves. That is
every mans and woman natural right
But suppose while they do this they
could also get in some good work for
others, something that would be helpful
to the racer The hearts Of the generous
young enthusiasts beat higher at the
thought, and herein lies the second
purpose
Well, they can get I'm good work for
all mankind, every one of them. There
was never time in modern history
when such helpful work lay about ON
every hand. We commend to the bright
young people who leave college this
June the careful study of present eco
nomio conditions in the civilized ma
tions. They were never so interesting,
never so novel All the old theories OF
political economy, except only the gold
en- rule, have been outworn and out
grown. An entirely new situation il
before us. 1t must be met. A new eco
nomic creed must be formulated To-
statesmen to work by. Our student
cannot build this creed by studying
books already published They must g
into the world and study actual socia
and economic conditions and get materi
al for the text books of the future. lie
them not take the old text books or tn
authority of their professors for thei
creed. Let them get the facts of toda
and think out their own solution {
present problems.

Why Not Raise ThemIat Home ?

From time to time great men in Off

spells of urging on the American farmer
the need of raising at home various
staples nowJimportedl from many lands
and. thus putting hejpriceSof them into

How a Oolored Girl Was Treated By a
White Gentleman.

On Wednesday, the 26tb OF May,
about 8 o'clock in the morning one oil
the wealthiest young ladies OF Tins city
sat in her fiaely rugged vehicle with
well-groomed team and fashionable
cOachman in the vicinity Of 18th and
Cary Streets, where she had gone as Il
her custom to do each morning TO
take her father TO his office.
A neatly attired brown-skinned girl
approached her and enquired the way
to The New York steamer. telk with
the girl revealed the fact that she was
from the upper part of Cumberland
County on her way co Long Island,
Y, to accept position in white
family as maid also that she was quite
green, unused To travelling and did ne
know a soul in Richmond, nor knew
how to get to the New York steamer.
Feeling sorry for her, this gentle
man his daughter decided TO take
charge OF her, to this the girl did not
object.
-in short while the gentleman had
found out that the steamer IN which
she should sail would not leave until
Friday So they quickly thought o
some place where they could have he
stay until that time. In less time thai
it takes to tell il, the cOlOred girl wa
flSing through the fashionable street
of our city in one of the SWEETEST vehi
cies, the young lady driving. She wa
taken to house of a respectable color
ed family where this Christian gentle
man paid her board until the da
came for her to leave.
On that day she was taken to tn
steamer by the same young lady, see
safely aboard by her father who sa'
that she was comfortably fixed and tn
steward promised to take care OF he
During her delay in Richmond tn
gentleman had written and infOrme
her people OF the fact; also written
the lady at Long Island to have SON

Memorial Day.

It h good that as time goes on the
day chosen for COMMUNICATING tho serv-
ices Of soldiers Of the civil war and Of
docking with flowers the graves of those
who have Joined the invisible army
should be more and more observed 1t
can happily be said with truth that
there is now no more bitterness between
north and south. Confederate soldiers
graves in the north, Union soldiers
graves in the south alike receive each
year duly "roses to crown the blue,
lilies TO deck the gray" May the gen
tie, kindly custom survive SO long as
the Union flag floats, so long as there
is son Of this republic left TO defend
herl
The annual reunion of the c. A. r.
will be in Buffalo, Aug. 80 TO 2S.
There are 800, 900 of the old boys-not
so many by 10000 as there were when
the order was at its highest notch. Still,
there are left enough surviving Union
soldiers TO increaseithe membership of
the q. A r. to ], 900 200. A statisti-
clan who has studied insurance tables
finds that according TO these there will
still be left alive in the year 1910 SAC

At the dedication of tho Grant tomb
April q, far the most impressive anc
really picturesque sight was the process

We're spruce, erect young cadets; their

aire regiments of national guards, wit
the creases of newness yet in their cost

American citizen like the bent, gra
bearded old boys who gave up for thei
country all the best promise of thei
lives 80 years ago. These, with th
torn, powder stainedsold flags'they bore
touched the heart and moIstened tn
eyes as none others in that processio
of 1000 men could do.
1t was little to the credit Of tho'
who had that procession,in chargel thi
: they placed the only citizen sobdie

The Marnanimous Turk.


The sultan has been able to put him
self in the attitude of the most forbear-
ing, forgiving and generous man in Eu-
rope. He has been able TO pose before
all the world as one who merely de-
Tended himself when attacked. He was
not the aggressor. Oh, mol he is a man
of peace, Abdul Hamid, and Greece
nagged him On TO fight. He gave Greece
the punishment she brought ON herself.
He laid waste two of her richest prov
inces. he also got in a bit of neat work
by continuing the war after preliminar-
les for an armistice had been arranged
and killing a couple of thousand more
or less of the enemies of the prophet
But he only did that to finish off the
Job neatly, as 1T were
Then he turns and tells Europe that,
while he has all power in his own
hands and can if he chooses go on and
annihilate Greece, still from mere love
of peace and good will to his brothers,
the powers of Europe, he will not do 1t.
| Nav, he will go further and show how
nobly magnanimous a follower of the
true religion is. he will not ever
claim indemnity for injuries inflicted
by the Greeks or ask any added terrific
nv. How Abdul Hamid must laugh II
his sleeve at the powers Of Europel ii
knows we'll that he would not be al
lowed to get any considerable territor
from Greece or to claim any large IN
demnity, because If Greece had to pa
him she could not pay her English an
German creditors what she owes them
Nevertheless he poses as q great hgf
of magnanimity on his own account
He is a diplomat of the first water, Al

action ON the part of our government.
