MIR. Pepper discusses the all-important
question of whether Spain has lost Cuba,
in the course of his latest letter to The
Star from Havana, printed today. He an
alyzes the various factors that enter into
the consideration of the case. and shows
that autonomy has failed of It's purpose and
that further hostilities promise nothing but
prolonged inefficiency. The deduction from
his showing is that there is practically no
hope for Spain ever again to secure firm
and lasting grasp upon its colony. and the
ultimate question is as to how the Madrid
government will let go and explain the
situation to the people of Spain. Mr.. Pep
per's estimate of the number of the people
who have starved to death is appalling
and is yet based ca such statistics that 1t
can be accepted only as the minimum
Some authorities place the total as high as
100000, while Mr.. Pepper fixes his estimate
of the number of deaths by starvation and
from neglect and ill-treatment at 10000.

The MarHland Situation.

The senatorial situation in Maryland is
at rest this week in preparation for next
weeks battle. The main interest of the
general public in this fight Is to see an
able sound money representative elected to
the Senate by the Maryland legislature
There is a strong preference for Judge Nc
Comas as a man with experience. ability
and the confidence of the administration,
hut the first thing to be urged and insisted
on is that the republican majority in the
legislature should stand together and be
guided by the wishes of the majority. The
bolt of eleven members from Baltimore
on the organization was unfortunate, but is
not past remedy If united action on the
senatorship follows. The rumor that Post
master General Gary in the slightest de-
gree approved the bolt was an insult to
him and an insult to the administration.
The President has no sympathy with any
movement against party discipline or pa
thence for bolts, and Mr.. Gary Is III entire
accord with his views. Outside of this.
however, Mr.. Gary is Maryland republic
can with long record for party loyalty
behind him, and it is amazing y his friends
to have it limited that he would now IN
dulge in party treachery.

An Author Of Nursery Cla..,cs.

Another tombstone must be reared In
the literary cemetery among those erected
to the memory of men who have written
for the benfit Of humanity. Rev. c. l..
Dodgson, known wherever the English
language is spoken and read as Lewis
Carroll is dead. He was even better
known as the author of Alice in Wonder
land which is one of the most attractive
and artistic fairy stories ever told. Mr..
Dodgson was primarily a churchman. He
was at the same time an expert mathema-
tician, and in both capacities he achieved
a reasonable share of distinction among
those with whom he worked. But amid
the thought Of religious and mathematical
matters he evolved a fantastic imagina-
ton that was entirely foreign to the more
serious traits of his temperament. This
combination is almost unparalleled. The
stories that he wrote have become nursery
classics and are read with delight even by
adults. The Hunting of the Shark is
an exquisite bit of imagery and eccentrici-
ty. The Alice stories were widely trans
lated and have become known to the chill
dren of many lands. 1t is somewhat
strange that with all this literary popu-
larity the authors personality has never
become widely known. and it is only at
his death that a multitude of his readers
become aware of the identity of the man
who evolved the idea of the Jabberwock

4 Return to weylerism.

At the very time when the news from
Cuba becomes again of The highest impor-
tance the extreme rigor OF the press censor
ship at Havana is re-applied. The effect of
course will be to misicad as far as possible
the outside world as to the daily happen
irNs in the island. Only such information
as General Elanco decides is calculated to
assist the Spanish cause will receive his
approval al may be expected to pass by
the way of is blue pencil
This is a return to Weylerian methods,
the nature ara the curse of which are so
well remembered. The press. local and
foreign, put without distinction under
the ban. Only those pens which were point
Ell with pesetas were allowed any freedom.
The result was that the authorities at
Madrid and the Spanish minister at, this
capital were stuffed with news about Span
ish triImphs in the field and resultant
pac:fication of the provinces. The herding
of the people in camps was mentioned, but
not word about the effect of it. The in
surgents were represented being only
small and scattered bands Of cowardly
bandits hiding in the hills, while all over
the open and fertile country Spanish
authority was recognized and peace reigned
supreme.
1t was all lie, carefully prepared and
disseminated at so rIuch the line. Exposure
was inevitable, and 1t came. Too much of
General Weyler remained out of the sand
to escape the eyes of these honorable and
courageous writers for the press who had
gone to the island to report the truth.
They found tie truth. and made it known.
The starving thousands. the murderous
raids upon hospitals, the widespread thiev-
ing by Spanish officials the inefficiency Of
the Spanish military equipment. all found
a place in print. General Weyler tried to
stop 1t, but the pen again proved mightier
than the sword. The Punishment of cor
respondents from the island proved but a
feeble step against the freedom of the
press. Men still were found willing TO tell
the truth and able to elude the press CEN
sorship.
This was a triumph for American jour-
nalism. and The Star may be pardoned for
claiming a share of the achievement. Its
special news from Cuba has from the out
set all been verified. Its special represent
alive in Cuba today is sending letters of
the first Importance in appraising the true
situation there. Ii is not too much to say,
indeed. that Sir. Peppers accounts of the
horrors of the camps of the reconcentrados
gave the world its first adequate idea of
the euormity of the Spanish sin against
humanity. and helped materially to inspire
the appeals which the President has adj
dressed to his countrymen in behalf of
stricken people. And Mr.. Pepper will re-
main OF the scene. The Star through him
will continue to supply its readers with the
latest and most reliable news from Cuba,
and which may be accepted as prepared
with the view of telling the truth. the
whole truth and nothing but the truth SO
far as the truth under Spanish difficulties
ard discouragements may be gathered.
General Blanco's war on the press is out
of date.

course. but this is not the sole menace to
the tranquility Of the nation that might
arise from the foreign travel Of the chief
executive. 1t Is deemed unwise for the
man ruling over large multitude Of peo-
pie to be exposed during his term of Office
to death or disablement through the inter-
vention Of providential visitations on land
or sea. True, there are many dangers In
purely domestic travel. but it is obviously
impossible and unwise to restrict the
movements of the president to certain To-
calities. 1t is desirable that he should
visit various sections Of the country over
which he presides and to this extent he
will always be exposed to the dangers of
travel. But foreign travel would necessi-
tate his long absence from his post of
duty and from close communication with
the administrative officials of the govern
ment. and serious complications might
easily arise during. for example, a sea
voyage undertaken by the President. For
these substantial reasons the Presidents Of
the United States have never gone beyond
the boundaries of their country, with the
single exception of Mr.. Cleveland, who oc-
casionally went beyond the three-mie
limit in his sea-coast expeditions. Pre-
cautions. however, were always amply
taken to insure speedy communication
with him.

Presidentini travelling.

The visit of President Dole of Hawaii
to this country brings to mind the
curious yet reasonable fact that the
chief executives of republics do not usually
leave their countries for foreign travel 1t
is. indeed. the first occasion on which a
ruling chief executive from a similar gov
ernment to this has visited the United
States. Nor has President of this Union
ever gone abroad. There is no law in
force in this country to prohibit such a
movement on the part of the ruler as
there is in many of the republics to the
south Of US on this hemisphere. President
Diaz has never come to the United States
because Of the operation of such a statute,
much as he would like to witness the evil
dences Of the wonderful prosperity that
has come to the great republic. There is
good reason for this custom and these
laws In time of profound peace there Ia

and at the latest accounts was apparently
as healthy as ever.
Now come the reposts of two similar
operations in this county. suggested doubt
less by the success Of the Zurich expert
ment. man in st. Louis and a woman
in Milwaukee have submitted themselves
to the same treatment. being sufferers from
cancerous growths in the stomach, and
have died as result of the operations. In
each case the explanation is given that
the patient was too far deblitated by the
progress of the disease to withstand the
shock of the removal of the stomach. In
the St. Louis case the man was under sur
gical treatment for over two hours. The
success of the Zurich case shows that this
difficult and hitherto seemingly hopeless
change in the human system can be
complished with safety, and it Is an open
question whether the failure Of two Ameri-
can cases reflects upon the difference in
methods of treatment or in the condition
of the patients prior to the operation
1t is plain from the Zurich case that the
stomach cannot further be regarded as
necessarily vital organ, inasmuch as life
is shown to be possible without 1t. The
stomachs function is digestive. 1t prepares
the food for the action of the bowels. The
digestive process is accomplished by the
play of certain juices and secretions upon
the masticated food. The stomach fur
nishes one of these secretions. the gastric
Juice. 1t now remains to be observed from
the further course of the Zurich patient
whether the gastric secretion Is vitality es-
sential to the health If Anna Lands
thrives upon digestive process that does
not include the functions of the stomach,
1t may be set down fairly well indicated
that life without a stomach is not only
possible but. in some cases. desirable.

1t is said that the defense of these islands
in mid-ocean would necessitate a large ad-
dition to our navy in the Pacific. That
makes their acquisition all the more i'm
portant. But if this necessitates the much
to be-desired increase of our Pacific squad
ron it will also increase the efTec tiveness
Of that squadron three-fold. 1t will give
to that squadron a rendezvous the most
adv antageous in the vast Pacific, and

the fleets of other nations from such 4

Shall we reject it?

Hybrid Control.

In considering the situation at Annapolis
ard at Columbus let it be imagined what
the effect would have been IT, when the
present national House met. an alliance,
IL Guiding the full democratic membership,
had placed a republican in the Speakers
chair unacceptable to the majority of the
majority party, who were charged with the
duty of choosing the Speaker. What would
have been tie response of the country to
srch a proceeding? What would have been
the effect on the political fortunes of such
republicans as had assisted in the work,
and particularly Of the man who had ac-
cepted the prize at the hands of the alli-
ance? The &C untry would have denounced
the proceeding and most likely have de-
manded Its abrogation. and those partici-
pating in it would have found themselves
deeply diScredited
This is certain. And it would have been
right. The country had called the republi-
cans to power. Republican policies were
on the cards. and could only be suitably
prepared by republicans. How would it
have been possible to prepare such policies
with the organization of the House reflect
ing the minority rather than the majority
as would put the seal of condemnation on
such work for all time.
These state legislatures are but minia
lures of Congress. The principle at stake
is the same in both cases. The republicans
carried the day last fall in both Maryland
ard Ohio. The people decided at the polls
to ntrust their local affairs to the republic
can party. The two legislatures, thus for
nally instructed, have met, and yet in each
case republican bolt has in effect put the
democracy in control The fact that the
speaker of the house in each case is re-
publican counts for nothing. He was elect
ed by an alliance made up very largely OF
democrats, and Is therefore under heavy
OF legations to them. In effect, he is their
ran.
This sort of thing Is wrong. and it should
not be countenanced. There is a very
great deal too much of fine work now OBJ
servable in our politics. Party RESPONSE
biity is definite thing, and it ought TO be
kept so.
Hybrid combinations. half horse, half
alligator, smack much too strongly of
treachery and personal selfishness to de-
serve consideration at the hands of either
party. They ought TO be denounced
promptly and unsparingly.

Patience.

Men came to him and called him names;
Declared he Stunned the right,
And ran al! KINDS of bunco games;
And yet he wouldn't fight.
CONTEMPORARY they spoke by day
And wrote of him by night;
They did not limit what they'd say:
And yet he wouldn't fight
They jostled him when he would pose.
With rollicking delight;
And some would vow they'd pull his nose;
And yet he wouldn't fight.
He was pugilist by trade.
Though insult made him throb,
He wouldn't fight unless he made
Big money by the job.

LOndOn's Fire Protection.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

1t is part of the routine of American fire
departments to keep the boiler of every
engine filed with hot water. in order that
1t may have pressure of steam by the
time IT reaches fire. In strong contrast
to this wise precaution Is the recommended
ton of the coroner's jury which investi-
gated the recent great fire in London, that
there should be one engine constantly I'M
der steam in that big city. The sliding pole
for London fire houses would probably be
considered a wildly insane proposition.
