Edward Everett ON Cuba.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: VIII you be so
good as to present TO the public the following sug.
gestion in regard to Cuba. II In your judgment It 10
sensible and hitting? Last spring / was engaged in
the work OF publishing the Everett letters on Cuba.
edited by my friend, DR.. Edward Everett Hale.
These letters, with all the statesmanship OF their
famous author. advocated the purchase OF the island
Of Cuba by the United states.
Why is not the present a most opportune time to
consider the advice OF Mr.. Everett? The De LONE Incl
dent and thc embarrassing accident to tho Maine
have put Spain in an attitude where she would gladly
forego the full satisfaction OF her national pride for
the sake OF showing her good will to the United
States. and the United States Is in a position to
reciprocate this generous feeling on the part OF Spain
in order to show that we are not so unfair as to
blame another country for accidents or the indis.
erection OF her individual citizens.
It Is the most favorable time to negotiate for tho
purchase OF Cuba that has presented itself during
the whole course OF the present Cuban troubles.
Purchase by the United States at this Juncture would
mean honorable peace for Spain. Cuba. and the
United states. 1t would mean relief to all the desti.
tuts people in Cuba. II would turn the bayonets of
Spanish soldiers and Cuban insurgents into pruning
hooks. 1t would be u fitting memorial to our 900
seamen lost in the harbor OF Havana.

An Heroic Figure.

The memory of MI. AMOS r. Emo, who
died on Monday, Is entitled to lasting honor
because Of the sacrifice Of toward four mil
lions made by him to save the Second Ma
tional Bank from ruin, and its depositors
from grievous loss, by reason Of the miscon-
duct of his son, its President. 1t was In
1881, at q time of financial panic, and IL
Mr.. Emo had not promptly come to the res
cue of the bank with 80 large a part of his
great fortune the evil consequences Of the
disaster would lave been widespread.
1t was q brave action, and the prompti-
tude Of Mr.. Emo In performing 1t. under
the impulse of both business and family
pride, was characteristic Of his decision Of
character. The blow came to him az from a
bolt from . clear sky. The Second National
Bank was apparently absolutely sound,
and beyond possible disaster, when 1t was
suddenly revealed to him that his son, it's
President, had ~dissipated It's whole volume
of assets in wild and gigantic Wall street
speculations. Of which the father had had
no hint and no suspicion. The panic pro-
vailing made 1t impossible for even Mr..
ENo's great fortune to secure the millions
required to make good the defaloation
without sacrifice, but without delay and
taking no account of difficulties he sup
piled the vast deficiency from his private
means, thus earning the deep gratitude Of
every depositor in the Second National
Bank and deserving tho gratitude and tho
applause Of the whole public.
Mr.. Emo was q man of marvellously quick
perceptions, amounting to veritable genius,
touching the operation and chances Of bust
ness enterprises, but moro especially con-
corning prospective landed values. His
discernment In the selection Of his many
and great real estate investments was as
clear as it was confident. He foresaw with
the certainty Of q strictly logical process
the tendency of trade n population to
centres where he bought landed property
at prices often less thap The GENITAL which
not many years afterward he was able to
obtain from them.
The estate left by Mr.. Emo must be very
great, probably greater than it has been
estimated, but a far better legacy than that
Is the example Of honor, integrity, courage
and fidelity which he leaves behind him.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 22.-The commemoration

tuition, wero of high Importance as starting q
movement for the aid Of the university by tho
stote of Maryland. President Gilman's ad-

I'm accordance with tho wishes OF many Of its
friends and supporters, taxpayers and citizens
Of Maryland. the Johns HOPKINS University has
determined to present a statement OF its fnan-
cial condition to the Legislature Of Maryland
and to ask for State aid"
The announcement did not come wholly as q

known that the authorities Of the university
intended to take this time to launch such a
movement. For two years the affairs of the in

TACOMA. WASH. Feb. 22.-Early this year tho
first complete census of tho Chinese Empire il
to DO taken. The approaching enumeration has
been ordered only after numerous conferences
between Earl Ii Hung Chang, tho Empress
.Dowager, and the Emperor. 1t came about in
this way: At last years meeting of the Inter
national Statistical Institute. held in Berne. q
committee. appointed to consider ways and
means for taking q " world census" decided that
the aid of Ii Hung Chang must be enlisted. They
met him in Berlin and secured a promise of his
influence at Pekin.
On his return to China Earl Ii preached tho
subject to the Empress Dowager. He explained
the object and need of q census and that the
total number Of people in the world could not DO
arrived at unless China did her share. The
European countries. he said. wanted to know,
and besides he could not 20 hack on his promise
proycrb,. when the superior man has once
spoken. four horses cannot pull back his word"
Her Majesty gave him n line to the Emperor.
At first his Majesty was disposed to resent the
Interference of u committee of unknown Euro
peans. but Lii explained that In other countries
to be on n level with other countries she must
take q census. The Emperor finally gave his
consent, and provided Lii with an autograph or
der to see that the wishes of the Swiss commit
tee were carried out.
The next step was to transmit the imperial
orders to the Governors-Genera OF tho provinces.
The Governors have sent the order out to the
district magistrates, and on the next official day
they will summon all tho local constablesa and
explain that this time there is to bo o full and
fair count.

Stand by tho Administration

The adoption without debate Of Senator
ALIENS resolution to investigate the Maine
disaster probably spared the Senate and
the country another scene like that OF Fri
day last, when Mr.. MASON OF Illinois was
rampant.
Primarily, Senator ALIENS purpose was
the same rs Senator MAsoN's. In its ortgi-
nal form his resolution called for an "im.
mediate and thorough inquiry into the
cause OF the destruction Of the battleship.
It's adoption would have been, in effect, q
vote of want Of confidence In the Admins.
tration and in the Navy Department. MIR.
ALLEN admitted as much when he said:
II share in the suspicion, or some OF the suspicion.
OF the Senator from Illinois. / share In the suspicion
that there is n purpose somewhere-l am not pro
pared 10 soy where-to secrete the real truth and the
real facts surrounding this unfortunate occurrence"
Challenged to produce the grounds OF his
suspicion, the Populist ALLEN wandered
of into an attack upon Investigations In
general, either by Congress or the Depart
mcnts; and, pressed yet further. he began
to talk incoherently about the issue Of
500, OOO, 900 Of Clearing House certificates
by the national banks in violation Of the
law, and the $19, 900 profit "made by
the unlawful sale of unlawful bonds of this
Government two years ago."
OF course, this is only another case Of
Mr.. Dick and the execution Of CHARLES
the First. The suspicious Of the Populist
ALLEN have neither weight nor public
Importance. There is no danger Of his dis
turbing the nations confidence in the Adj
ministration and the navy. The position Of
Mr., MASON, as a Republican in regular
standing, a member OF the party now re-
sponsible for the Government Of the coun-
try, and a Senator from ono Of the most
important. States in the Union, was some.
what different. Mr.. MAsoN's yellow out
break astonished everybody. Mr.. ALIENS
suspicious astonish nobody.
On Monday, when the Senate met again,
the Allen resolution, shorn of its provision
for Immediate action, was allowed to pass
without objection. 1t merely authorizes the
regular Naval Committee of the Senate. at
their discretion, to inquire into the causes
of the disaster. 1t Is entirely harmless,
even il it is unnecessary; and. on the part
of those Senators who regarded 1t as I'M
necessary, it was n sensible proceeding to
permit it to go through unquestioned
rather than to open q discussion which
might have resulted in another discredit-
able and demoralizing spectacle like that
of Friday.
In the present tension Of public senti-
ment over II critical condition Of affairs no
patriotic Senator will use the opportuni-
ties of his high Office. without the gravest
reasons therefor, to say a word which may
weaken the confidence Of any citizen in
President MCKINLEY and his advisers.
Just now the burden of responsibility is
on them. Let not there be at this time,
of all times, a repetition of the Mason incl
dent in the Senate of the United States.
