McKinIey's Cuban Policy.
philadelphia Ledger)

President Mckinley is very wisely
keeping silent on the subject of his
Cuban policy. 1t will be time enough TO
announce his course of action when he
can do so officially. Meanwhile. 1t VIII
be remembered that he announced some
time ago that in his judgment, 1t was
best to attend to home affairs first: ana
this seems to indicate that he VIII not
declare any violent change in the pollcy
Of his predecessor with regard TO CuDa
until he has at least had time 10 INFORM
himself fully on the exact condluoh ol
affairs in that island, and their reiatioh

tive where conservatism involved no com
promise OF the dignity and prestige OF the
United States. And while there IL no more
evidence to show that he may have been

According to the New York CORES
pondent of the Baltimore American, one
Of the mistakes made in amending the
New York State Constitution in 1885 was
in prohibiting the officials of the State
from riding free on the railroads. He
says the looping off of that privilege has
kept many members at Albany when
they would like to have been in New York,
and has added to the cost of being men,
Der of the Legislature from 500 TO S2oo
a session to each member. Recently
bin was introduced into the New YORK
state Senate by Senator Wilcox, amend
ing the new Constitution so that mem
bers may travel on free passes. The
two Judiciary committees Of the Legisla-
ture have reported the bill favorably, and
I'm all probability it will become a law.
The report is considered a significant
incident in State legislation. The clause
I'm the Constitution prohibiting State ofii-
Gals from placing themselves under obli-
cation TO the railroads was so generally
approved at the time that very few people
believed any attempt would be made 10
change IT, The bill now proposed COM
pels the railroads to honor the simple
certificates of the Secretary of State, ana
TO carry the holders of these certificates
to all parts of the State free OF cost

for the practice of indiscriminately
reviewing, or at any rate, noticing,
every book which issues from the
press is one which, by the stimulus
it affords to the production ofworth-
less work, is tending seriously to the
degradation of literary standardsand
to the confusion and disgust ofread-
ers. Instead of giving to books
which are unworthy of any notice
at all the help of even scratching
criticism, Literature will apply to
them the far more effective treat
ment of neglect. On the other hand,
it is hoped that every important
work may be reviewed within three
weeks after its publication.
Evidently Literature, by virtue
fits definite and undertaking aim,
has Il field all its own-a very use
ful and (the Weekly cordially hopes
and sincerely bclicves) a liberal field
to work in and to prosper in. And
not less evidently it has that indis-
pcnsible thing-thc positive char
actcr which appears to be a prime
condition of success in the equip
ment of Il publication no less, or
scarcely less, than in the career of
an individual. Now opportunity
and character comprise two-thirds OF
the elements of success.
The selection Of Mr.. II. ID.
Trill a. editor of Ljfn'dtmc finds its
warrant in the broad critical fac
ulty and masulnc sanity of judg-
mcnt which characterize that WELL
known writcr.-Iiorpcr's Weekly.
