For Aldermen
DR.. GalIiuger's Observations.

~ ENATOR GALLINGER'S testi-
~ mony as to the horrors prevail
" ing in Cuba is fully corrobora-
tive of that offered by Senator Proctor.
Like the senator from Vermont. the
senator from New Hampshire presents
a plain, simple. straightforward state
ment Of facts as he saw them. 1t Is a
recital free from rhetorical fiourishes.
its effect upon the mind is heightened
by the absense of oratorical clap
trap. BY profession Senator Galliger
is a physician. Before his election 10
the senate he was a Woodworking. con-
scientious. successful practitioner, his
life a been spent in saving lives and
alternating suffering. Such an eNpe-
rience peculiarly qualified him for the
task of Cuban investigation. His
trained physicians eye took in the ex-
act situation. Nothing could be more
graphic and terribly pathetic than his
description of the Matanzas hospitals:
Matnzas is literally "A place of beggary
and death. Never before did my eyes be-
hold such suffering, and never again do
expect to see such havoc wrought
tnrouEn a tTutl anu lhuhildh u'Nift ~
visit TO the Matanzas hospitals revealed
an even more shocking condition than
the streets. A member of the Red Cross
society who had visited one OF the hos
pitfalls two weeks before was almost over
come upon discovering that nearly every
one of the inmates at that time had since
died. There. poverty, sorrow and suffer-
ing were depicted in their worst forms.
Children. gaunt in face, but with abdo-
men and limbs terribly swollen, women
I'm the last stages of emaciation and men
were rapidly drifting to death. III there
was food in these hospitals j did not dis
cover it: neither were there signs of medi-
cine or of proper nourishment or care.
Things have reached a pass when a
policy of Intervention on the part Of
this government is not only j~ustifiable.
but is a necessity in the name of civil
lization and humanity. Nor can the
United States. if IL shall refuse TO in
tervene. hope TO Escape the censure and
the scorn Of future ages.

the Great cult for a while at
least. The life and times OF the O'Hig-
ginses are an interesting theme The
elder O'Higgins was born in 1880 in
County Meath. ireland. His family
lived on the outskirts Of the picturesque
little village Of Summerhill. His father,
who was a genuine old-time hedge
schoolmaster. put him through a hard
course Of Greek, Latin and mathemat-
les. and his uncle. who had been edu-
Gated for the priesthood In Spain, taught
him the language of hat country, which
proved more valuable to him than a
Whittingtonian cat. He left Ireland for
Buenos Ayres, where he landed after
a p~erilous trip. There he became a ped
dler. He crossed the Andes with his
pack on his back ana settled in Chill.
firing Of peddling, he took 10 soldering
and distinguished himself In the Arau-
canian wars. His promotion was rapid,
and In a short time he was made Mar
duis OF Osorno. The New York sun
says that then. reversing the stupid
fashion Of certain Irish i'm America. he
picked up the q instead Of dropping H..
He considered himself entitled 10 the
aristocratic distinction. because he had
ennobled himself. In County Meath he
was simply Ambrose Higgins. without

man In Chill than he was in Meath. he

war she had made such progress that
while the United States. with her mon
itors. possibly then had the best of
IL. within two or three years she had
overtaken and passed us. BY 1872, when
the Geneva award was made. the Eng

the American. for in the interval Eng

since. had been very busy perfecting
her navy. while we had done compare
lively little towards strengthening
ours.
But IL must be borne in mind that
when the e board of arbitration
was agreed to and organized. the art
of naval warfare was still far short OF
reaching that point of perfection II has

strong annexation sentiment
would develop both in Cuba and the
United States is certain. On some ac-
counts Cuban annexation is more logi-

The southern states particularly viii
be anxious for Cuban annexation-they
regard the island as part and parcel Of
the South. II has an area a little larger
than Kentucky. Its population before
the insurrection began was 1900, 900, but
that has been reduced fully one-half.
The land is exceedingly fertile, there is
no richer territory on the globe.
II is especially urged that the United
States should have control Of the island

TT is a serious question whether N
so-called f%ireproof building is really
such i'm fact. The building superin-
tendent Of New York city is quoted as
saying there Is not "A n%reproof building
in the whole metropolis. What is meant
by hreproof is slow burning. Fire Chief
Bonner Of New York say that in any
building where the floors and ~finishings
are wood. and the contents-merchan-
disc or furniture-are combustible, you
will have a fire. If the building Is hf-
teen or twenty or twenty-five stories
high il only means that the stairways
and elevator shafts Will give an in

the blaze the more difficult to control
when il gets a start. IF the fire c
gets a good start" he says. Il don see
how we can effectively stop IL until it
burns out. OF course. with the new type
of alleged fireproof buildings it is posi-
