A Charity Exhibit Mt the Paris worlds Fo,r

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrrN-Sir: In the issue of
your valuable journal for Dec. 23 there appears an
editorial on Five Acres of Paris" under which In
reviewed in detail the number OF square fee. set
aside for the of this country in exhibiting its
products. &c at the worlds fair to he held In Paris
in 1900
1t is a remarkable and creditable showing that We
desire TO make along the lines indicated by you. II
has occurred to me several tmes that there Ia no
good reason, apparently. why this country should
not make exhibit In Paris in 300 of the methods
used by it in furthering charitable objects and
works. Surely 1t is in the lead OF all nations In this
respect. 1t might easily have models made Of some
of its great charitable institutions and show them In
Paris to the interest Of the entire world.
When We remember thAtthe State Of New York
alone expends in tho vicinity of twenty millions
annually for charity in the care Of 10000 insane
defective and dependent persons and that the great
State of New York ID only small part Of the entire
United Staten in charitable matters IL would appear
that = movement might be made looking toward the
giving Of space for charitable exhibit at tho Paris
fair In 1900. WILLIAM p. sPRArLISo.

Cuba Libre.

The dissolution Of the Cuban Junta, which
sees its patriotic task accomplished, and the
. complete evacuation Of Cuba by the Span
iards, which Is now close at hand, render the
present moment fit one for recalling the
/, yicissitudes OF struggle for independence
that began thirty years ago and now
I ends in victory. From the outset to the
close Of that memorable struggle, THE sun
has never wavered in its support OF the
E revolutionlsts, and it would gladly Join in
the erection OF monument to the martyrs
and the heroes who have died that Cuba
might be free.
h In the carly years OF this century, when
just and generous sentiments prevailed in
spain the status Of Cuba, which had re-
manned faithful among many faithless colo
nies, was asslmilated to that Of a Spanish
province, and her Deputies were admitted
TO the Cortes. In 1925, however, autocratic
powers were conferred upon the Captain-
General, and, in 1886, although the Cuban
Deputies to the Congress at Madrid had
s,been duly elected, they wero not suf-
fered to take their seats. BY the
Z Constitution OF 1887 the representation
OF the island In the Cortes was SUD-
pressed, and 1t was provided that Cuba
and Porto Rico should be ruled by special
laws, which. however. were never enacted
until after the ten years war. That is to
say, while all the former Spanish posses
asions on the American mainland had their
Independence acknowledged. Cuba, the
ever-faithful isle was treated as foreign
country. The product Of its peoples labor
ewas contiscated by iniquitous fiscal laws and
by irregular but Irresistible exactions.
while those Of its Inhabitants who dared to
proclaim their love Of liberty by deed or
word perished on the scaffold.
? In their despair the Cubans took up arms
In 1850. 1851 and 1856, but these ill-con-
eerted risings were quickly suppressed by
massacre. Fruitless, also, were repeated
appeals to the wisdom and equity of influ-
ential statesmen at Madrid. In 1867 special
commissioners from Cuba and Porto Rico
were sent to Spain to implore social, politi-
cal and economic concessions, and Marshal
6ERRANo, then Regent, and Gen. DuLCE,
who had been for some years Captain-Gen.
eral at Havana. expressed opinions in favor
Of granting the request. Nevertheless, the
petition was rejecued; taxation was in
creased, and. although tho island was then
peaceful, n military court-martal was sub
stituted for the civil tribunals.
q Convinced that they never could secure
voluntary concession OF justice from their
mother country, the Cubans had recourse
once moro to arms, and far more formida-
bio insurrection than any which had pre-
yiously occurred broke out on Oct 10,
ISes, and continued for almost ten years.
In the course OF that well-organized re-
bellion, many important towns and some
seaports were taken, and Spanish authority
was subverted in about two-thirds OF the
ISLAND. In some respects. indeed, more
plausible case for tho recognition of the in
surgents as belligerents was presented in
the ten years war than during the

1t is work which justifes the President in say |

as the Federal soldier. This is work which tho
American people are profoundly interested in,
for 1t touches their permanent and paramount
interests. and hope to see 1t speedily accom-
plished.
L hope to see the day when our starry flag
shall float everywhere from the frozen north to
the sunny cline OF Central America. We are
too big and powerful and progressive to have
neighbors on this continent and trust that
before the next Administration OF the Presi-
dent closes the flag will fly over every foot of
the continent. from the northern extremity of
the Dominion OF Canada to the Gulf OF Mexico.

A Serious Figure.

Since Col. BRYAN resigned his military
office, to devote his attention exclusively to
procuring the Democratic nomination for
President in 1900, his political activity has
been resented in certain quarters. Here,
for example, is the COurier-,Journal asking :
docs Mr.. BRYAN in going to take charge of things
at Washington, lack confidence In the leadership of
tho Hon. JOE BAILEY. or is he an advocate of q
double standard Of leadershipf"
1t is proper to say now that whatever
there was Of the grotesque or humorous in
Col. BRYAN's status as a non-hghting war
rior, who enlisted, probably in order to
promote his political fortunes, and was de-
barred from military glory by the eternal
fitness of things, he Is now an entirely
serious figure and a potent factor In the
present situation.
There can be no rivalry between Mr..
BAILEY Of Texas and Mr.. BRYAN Of Ne
braska. The leadership which they respec-
lively exercise Is one thing In one case and
another thing in the other case.
Mr.. BAILEY Is the first Democratic men,
ber OF the House Committee on Ways and
Means, and, by reason OF his selection
for that post, the tltular leader of the
Democratic minority in the parliamentary
strategics of that branch Of Congress. The
functions of MI. BAIIEYs leadership corre-
spond to those which belong on the floor
and in committee room to Mr.. DNGLEY Of
Maine. the majority leader.
Mr.. BRYAN's analogue, on tho other hand,
Is President MCKINLEY. Mr.. BRYAN's lead
ership was conferred upon him by the
Democratic Convention at Chicago in 1896,
which then made him the chieftain of his
party. His credentials include the record
of the 6,5o3, 1875 votes which his fellow
citizens cast for him, two years ago, for
President Of the United States.
There Is nothing merely comical in the
political leadership OF man who has once
received more than six and half millions
OF votes for President, and is now securing
the field for the most available issue on
which to appeal for a plurality OF the
electoral votes In a Presidential election
less than two years away.

Our stinted Use Of Coin Money.

The preference. for daily use, Of paper
money TO coin. is dlstinctively American
characteristic. Except in California and
the other mining States Of the extreme
West, gold coin Is scarcely seen passing from
hand TO hand amcng us and Of tho AGO.
100000 Of silver dollars which have been
issued from our mint since 1873, all remain
lockedu In the Treasury vaults but about
10000, 900, which circulate only In the
Southern and Southwestern States. In
England the smallest notes in use are Of
the denomination Of IS, or $24; IN France
Of 90 francs, or $40; and in Germany of 100
marks, or $24; but We have an abundant sup
ply Of So, 81, and oven 81 notes, and there Is
. scontinual demand fer more. This, too, is
3 In spite Of the ragged dirty, and otherwise
repulsive state into which many Of the notes
have fallen, and Of the possibility that they
may be the vehicles for transmitting infec-
tious diseases.
The persistence Of this preference for
paper money is the result Of a habit estab-
lfshed at time when coin was scarce and
which has never been overcome. Prior to
1884 gold coin was overvalued by our law,
and consequently was driven out by silver.
O Owing to the poverty Of the country, even
silver was not In sufficient supply and had
? to be eked out with paper. The promoters
Of the Mint act Of 1884, by which silver was
/, In turn overvalued and driven out Of cfrcu-
lation, expected that gold would become
the currency Of the country, and "hard
money was long the cry Of the Democratic
party. The supply Of gold in turn proved
not to be sufficient to meet the demand,
and paper money maintained hold which
not even the outpour Of gold from Califor-
MIA in ] $40 could loosen. At this moment,
with $3.50, 900, 900 of gold In the Treasury,
and $169, 100000 in the New York banks
alone, the metal is as rarely used In daily
transactions as ever it was. Tho small
amount Of 1t paid out for Christmas gifts
and In directors fees speedily finds it's way
back into the banks, and stays there. 1t is
the same with silver. Instead Of using the
S4oO, 900, 900 In actual silver coin at our
disposal, We leave 1t all in the Treasury,
and employ only the paper certificates by
which It Is represented.
No change in our habits by which we |
shall give to gold and silver coin the |
place they occupy in Europe can be |
brought about by talk or even by legisla- |
tion. As the habit itself was produced by |
the force Of circumstances, so must it be |
or corrected. In the progress of |
our civilization and the development OF |
sanitary science we shall ultimately prefer |
clean and non-infectious coin to dirty and |
dangerous paper, and restrict the use of |
paper to notes which from their amount
will be needed only in making large pay
ments, and are. consequently, less exposed
to wear and tear and contamination. The
abolishment by law Of notes for less than
$40 would be step forward but such a
law cannot be passed until public opinion
demands 1t.
