SPANISH PRovERB COMMENDED
TO COMMISSIONERS
eel ultimo mono Sc ahoga."

'El ultimo mono Sc ahoga.
(The last monkey gets drowned)
Our neighbors the Dons have neat little
way
OF voicing themselves in saw.
There's plenty of character given away
In this statement of natural law.
The acme of selfish astuteness and guile
L think it is clear we have found,
When the Spaniard remarks, with shrug
and a smile,
That "the last little monkey gets
drowned"
This cynical saying explains, more or less,
Why the naughty officials of Spain
Have got her colonial affairs in mess,
And cannot adjust them again.
With every inducement to pilfer and shtrk,
The man new in office soon found
He might leave his successor the bulk of
the work,
Since 1.-The last little monkey gets
drowned!'
The wars at an end, and we don't want to
fight
The senors of Madrid again;
We want to be kind-but we mustn't lose
sight
OF the singular ethics of Spain.
She'll probably try, by her threats or her
tears,
The big "Uncle Sam to come round;
But she must not prolong the discussion for
years.
For "the last little monkey gets
drowned"
That last little monkey, of cruel design,
The covetous monkey of greed
Who tries round her fortified islands to
tWine
His wicked long tail, won't succeed.
He may chatter and grin, and play many
trick
His wiles and beguilings abound;
But he'd better get out, and get out pretty
quick,
Lest "the last little monkey gets
drowned"

A Princeton Freshman Kidnaped

There, was sensation Thursday after
noon when it was learned at Princeton
that Bolton Edridge of the freshmen class
had been kidnapped and taken from the
town. He had been chosen to compete for
his class in the middleweight cane spree
between the sophomores and freshmen. e.
bridge is no doubt faring well in some other
city not far away, but his absence means
that another and perhaps weaker man
will have to take his chances in the spree.
All sophomores connected with the affair
will be expelled if they can be identified

Nullifvinr the Civil Service Law

The administration evidently looks upon
the present civil service system as an Of
fense to our form of government and an
interference with the rights of citizens and
party workers, but it has not mustered the
courage to deliver more than half-hearted
blows at the monstrosity. All the changes
that have been made so far have been for
mere party advantage in campaign. Those
features of the civil service law which were
the best are the ones which have been
abrogated or violated. The standing up
of clerks for campaign contributions is an
evil which has been revived.-Cincinnati

Needless Sacrifice of Lives

The necessity for thorough inspection OF
new buildings by competent officials was
again demonstrated by the falling OF the
roof of a theater under construction in

were lost. New York knows to her cost

it is to be hoped this latest disaster will
lead to a more thorough enforcement of
the building laws here and elsewhere.-New

Cubans Too Lazy to Work

Americans who visit the military depart
ment of Santiago are impressed first of all
and most strongly by the rare fertility and
varied productions of the SOIL and later by
the absolute carelessness and ideness OF
the inhabitants, who have been so richly
lowered by nature. The Cuban will not
work, it is said, and an immense area of
this garden spot of earth is wasted in con-
sequence. Not only new system of gov
ernment, but also a new laboring popula-
ton may be necessary in order to realize
fully the hope and promise of regenerated

Political Trouble in France

In something over quarter of century
that the republic has been firmly estab-
lished in France it has sought a perma-
nent majority which would permit it to de-
velop those theories and instructions which
belong by principle to a democracy. 1t has
never been fortunate in maintaining such
a majority. The French electors are i'll
educated politically, and majority after
majority has fallen by the very monsters
they themselves created. In the meantime
socialism has been growing with prodigious
strides.-New York Times.

Consul Monaghan of Chemnitz reports the
latest effort of the Germans in the way of
canal building. They attach great impor
tance to canals and waterways as factors in
industrial Development and their idea now
is to unite the Elbe and the Rhine, thus per-
mitting not only of the passage of ships from
one to the other without unloading, but al
lowing the Rhine boats to carry cargoes
gathered in the harbors of the North Sea
to places far inland. This will save freight
and cost of reloading. Consul Monaghan
tells of the increase of women employed in
German trade. The number mas doubled
in the last thirteen years. The greatest
gain is noticeable in the higher classes of
labor.

Senator FauIkner,s Strange Rem,,k

Senator Faulkner Is quoted in a WASH
ington special to the Register as saying:
THE Republicans are responsible for the
conduct OF the government and they
should be allowed to say what attitude
should be taken on an issue that Involves
war or peace. The Republicans
are in control OF the government and are
responsible TO tho country. Let them
take the responsibility OF their policy"
The Republican party Is not afraid OF
the responsibility conferred OH the party
and 1t has confidence in It's ability TO dis
charge its trust, but these remarks by
Senator Faulkner are unworthy Of the
dignity OF a United States n at
such a time. and will not increase the re.

What will be the result OF the feeling
In Congress for interference In the Gu
ban matter without waiting for tho re-
suit OF the negotiations now in progress
looking to freedom for Cuba and the
ttoppasc of the wal in the interests OF
humanity. Il is impossible to predict.
The situation lie rendered more critical
by the introduction OF wnrlike resolu-
tons in the face OF the fact that Spain
was showing evidences OF weakening,
and that a message from the President
on The Cuban question was expected this
week, which would better enable Con-
sress to take delibcratlve action.
Tho Presidents whole course has been

factory settlement without war, II posi-
bic. but he has also maintained that II
forceable Intervention In behalf Of free
dom and humanity becomes necessary
he will not hesitate to act. The Presl-
dent. in pursuing this policy has been
doing his duty TO the country.
The country only wants war
when other measures fail. 1t seems,
however. that the gentlemen who arc
determined TO force war at any price, re-
Gardless Of these negotiations. which
arc keeping the honor OF the flag we'll to
the front, are not willing to curb them
selves even to the extent OF waiting to
see what is to be offered as a basis OF
settlement.
The responsibility OF forcing wal upon
the country when the chances OF avert
ing it without sacrificing honor we're
frightening, and when peace and free
dom in CUBA were within sight. through
the wise course being pursued. was
neither appreciated or regarded. Per-
haps the sober second thought may yet

This nation does not fear war, and the
people will have it before they accept

those who would force it when the end
