Some talk of making John Clark
Ridpath, the historian, democratic
candidate for governor of Massachu-
setts has been set at rest by that gen.
tleman's announcement that he has
net been long enough in the state,
having only gone there from Indiana
nineteen months ago. The constitu-
ton requires a seven-year residence
from those who aspire to gubernato-
rial honors.

Our Duty TO Cuba.

Senator Money in the FoFum.)
The United States has duty to perform, TO
herself. to Cuba and 10 Spain; and this duty must
be approved by considerations OF reason. of Justice
and OF honor. We have never striven for. nor even
desired, the hegemony OF the American States
on the contrary our Government has, with rare
exceptions, studiously avoided international com
plications and responsibilities perhaps at times to
the prejudice OF our national prestige But il
often happens that the situation Of nation. while
conerring certain privileges and rights. also i'm
poses certain duties and obligations; and, how
ever willing it might be To dislsSoCiJte itself
from the affairs Of other countries, and TO ignore
their claims, it cannot always in honor AMI safety
do so.
such a case confronts Us today The Cuban
Problem presses for solution; and there Is gen
erll desire 20 solve il wisely. We must determine
What action Is required OF Us, that may be true
both TO ourselves and TO the CuhauS, and. Is far
Is consistent considerable OF the rights OF Spain
During the last two years Congress for the first
time taking the initiative, has been discussing
the recognition OF bellgeTency; power hereto
fore exercised by the executive IN all forms OF
government. Legislative action in such matters
has until recently, been confined TO
preston OF opinion intended TO excite tardy EN-
ccutive 20 action The Joint resolution recently
passed by the Senate would be authoritative
recognition OF beligerency OF the highest char
acter if il should meet with Executive approval:
and as a consequence. important benefits would
iuure to the insurgents. The Cuban cruisers
would have the same rights as those OF spain, and
the Cuban flag would be much respected. Her
captured soldiers would be entitled TO treatment
as prisoners of war; and Cuba would enjoy the
same rights as Spain TO purchase ali munitions OF
war, and what is more important-to borrow
money Perhaps also her credit would become
as good as that OF Spain

ANYTHING TO GAIN TINE.
Spainiards Advocate Delay That

Elsewhere the paper says there
is still time to prepare a few warships
and, perhaps. it viii be possible to buy
a few abroad. In any case Spain has
some merchantmen which would be
able TO do plenty Of harm to American
commerce.
The Liberal publishes a tabulated list
Of the Spanish fleet, showing that it
consists Of seventeen protected ships,
twenty unprotected, eighty gunboats
fourteen torpedo boat destroyers, four
teen torpedo boats and twenty-five

Placards have been posted on all the

", captain, and a. D. Cook manager. of
the football track, We're also present at
the meeting Capt. Kelly returned this
morning from Cambridge. where he had
been consulting with the Harvard football
management relative to game next FAN
It is known that Harvard offered him no
encoura cement whatever and Kelly has
now given up all hope Of meeting the
crimson on the gridiron this year Kelly
said:
Il viii do everything in my power TO
convince the committee that it is to our
advantage to meet Pennsylvania in foot
ball. For the last two years l have been
very anxious to play them, and last Fall
there was not man on our team but was
eager for the game. The bad feeling
prevalent in the two universities before
and after the 1894 game has completely
disappeared and | am assured that the
uIIlh I'll t-ltEr liz well dS Il large part OF the
alumni are with me in this matter For
my part. l do not see why the graduate
advisory committee and the faculty
should forbid the game in the face Of the
statement in favor Of il that now exists
in all Princeton circles"
Manager Cook was also interviewed and
likewise expressed himself as heartily in
favor Of the game. Without this contest
Princeton's season will close November
Y with the Yale game, which would be
the Tigers only big game Of the season.
Pennsylvania has already scheduled Har-
ward for November J. and if a game is
arranged Manager Cook says that he will
endeavOT to have it played November 10,
either at Princeton or Philadelphia. Sew
eral members of the committee were seen,
but all refused TO talk about the chances
for a game. 1t was learned that two of
the committee are in favor of the game
and two are against it.

ARE NURSES REALLY TOO GAY2
A Chicago Writer Comments Upon
Their Youthful Levity

Their Youthful Levity.
A contributor to the columns Of the Chi
cago Evening Post writes as follows:
What l am going to say cannot have
any bearing on nurses, who regard their
vocation seriously consequently. none
such can take offcnse. My attention has
frequently been drawn TO nurses by their
own levity Of behavior and I have won
dered often how long II would be before
the same levity was made Il point of pub
lie discussion. Hall Game probably has
facts back of his exposition Of strange
conduct in nursedom, so that those fol-
lowing the business had as well calm
their ire and look, each to her own be-
haviOr, as the best means of rcfutng the
charges laid at their doors.
Ny experience is that very often the
people who make the loudest outcry at
an attack on members Of the calling they
follow are the ones who have brought
about the criticisms. Behold the devoted
sisters of charity, We nurses, and take
pattern by them, Who ever saw one Of
them casting roguish looks at men or
carrying themselves 50 as to attract at
tention Now, don't think / am preiu-
diced being for ! have two friends who
are nurses; but they are of the type that
deserves respect and confidence. 1t is "a
mistake however. to let young girls into
the ranks Of nurses, for youth Is apt to
have vain moments even under the best
of training; still, ii is not always the
young who are the worst.
