GROWTH OF CREMATION.
Custom Was Prevalent Among tn.
Early Christians.

The cremation of Francis Willard. fol.
lowing that of several other famous peo-
pie. shows that the new mode of treat.
ing the dead is increasing in popularity.
says the New York Mail and Expre.s
When it was started, nearly thirty wears
ago, it was nine days gossip. At the
time the theosophists cremated Baron de
Palm and strewing his ashes in the
waters of the Hudson it was the talk If
the city. But now it is so common that
no one pays any attention to the practice
Curious enough, the chief opposition TO
1t today comes from several of the
churches. This is hard to understand as
the early Christians were almost as much
IN favor OF cremation as they were of in
humation, and as the church at another
period made use of the bones of dead
Christians to ornament the walls of the
catacombs. So strong was the belief in
immortality at that time that the body
was viewed as a mere husk, which was
scarcely worthy of attention after the
soul had left it. In some of the Italian
catacombs the number of skeletons en-.
ployed in decorating the walls is mems.

GOVERNMENT FOR CuBA
II would Naturally Not BE perf.,,
ut the Start,

Nobody has expected, nor has anvhodr
mad the right to expect, that a perfect
government would spring into existence
in Cuba Immediately upon the downfall
of Spanish rule, says the Washinpton
Star. Such a thing could not possibly
be. The island has been torn with mis-.
government and contentious for great
many years. The people. necessarily
have given thought principally to their
distresses. They have had little time for
anything else United, as they have BEEN
in their detestation of Spain and her
methods, they have devoted themselves
to organization for the purpose of throw
ing off the Spanish yoke
But their aspirations upon the point
of better government are clear. They are
looking here for the model of that which
they think would be the best model for
them. A government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, adjusted to
Cuba as that government is adjusted to
the United States, is the object of their
desires. And who shall say that it is MT
within their reach? Not working per-
fectly at once, of course. Our own gov
eminent started off slowly and encoun-
tered many difficulties, but by the exer-
else of patience and tirmness we succeed
ed.
The main point, as the Star stated
few days ago, is to get rid of Spain. The
problem then becomes one appealing to
every man in Cuba who desires the bet
terment of his own and the general con-
dition. 1t will be difficult in the extreme.
1t will demand sacrifices, just as the rev
olution has demanded sacrifices The
United States will lend its aid, and With
that aid failure will be impossible.
