The case against Senator Quay of Penn
sylvania is rapidly assuming national
Importance. II promises to be one of the
most sensational cases ever tried in the
courts of this country. 1t is apparently
the purpose of the senator to avoid a
trial, but it is difficult to see how he can.
Some days ago, on writ of certorari,
the case was transferred to the Supreme
Court, to have certain points settled be-
fore trial in the lower court. To get the
writ the senator was compelled TO make
an affidavit to certain alleged facts The
district attorney of Phlladephia-in the
courts of which city the indictment is
pending-in answering this affidavit de-
MES the truth of all of the statements it
contains. and then proceeds to say that it
viii be shown beyond shadow of a doubt
that the senator for years used the public
money in his private speculations, and
and that he drew interest regularly on
hundreds of thousands of dollars of the
public money which was deposited in the
Peoples Bank of Philadelphia at the SEN
ators request, and for which the state
received nothing. And the district at
torney also asserts that this money of the
state was used to buy stocks and bonds
for the senator TO the extent of many
thousands Of dollars. The money was.
of course, paid back as each speculation
was finished but it is, nevertheless, a fact
the states money was wrongfully used.
1t doesn't look as if the senator is anx-
ious for speedy trial. although when
the indictment was filed against him, he
declared that he wanted to face his ac-
! cusers at once. He viii be an extremely
fortunate man If he succeeds in getting a
reelection to the United States Senate
without first freeing himself from the
charges which have been made against
] him.

AMERIcANIzING CUBA.

The work of Amercanizing Cuba has
begun. In the course of a year or two
there will be such great changes for the
better that the Cubans will not want to
try the experiment Of self government
At least, there is some ground for think
ing that such viii be the case. II is well
known that The people of Santiago are
so well satisfied with the condition of af-
fairs at that place that the leading citi-
zens have expressed themselves in favor
of annexation, and it would not be sur
prising If the same thing should happen in
Havana and other provinces.
In a very few days a police force on the
American plan will be established in the
city of Havana. Then there will be or
der in that city. II will be one thing that
win be highly appreciated by the law
abiding portion of the population. Al
ready steps have been taken to put in
force the American postal system. That
will be another thing that the Cubans
will appreciate. 1t will take time, of
course, to make Havana a healthy city,
but sanitary measures will be adopted as
soon as our military authorities get full
control of municipal affairs, and an i'm
provement will be quickly noticed.
BY the time another summer has come
and gone the schoolma am will be abroad
in the island and from that moment the
movement in the direction of Americana
ing the island will be very marked. But
little capital and few emigrants have gone
to the island yet, but just as soon as our
government has full control, both will go
there with a rush. There will be no
waiting to see what sort of a government
the island will have eventually, because it
will be believed that our government will
see TO it that law and order are main
tanned in the island. With all of these
forces at work the Amercanizing of the
Cubans will go forward rapidly. The de-
sire for annexation will become so strong
that the experiment of self government
will not, in all probability, continue very
long

For downright foolishness Representa-
tive Joe" Bailey's attack upon Gen.
Wheeler for holding two offices, Temporal
rily, is hard TO beat. Nobody, save Bal
ley and his few followers, is making any
complaint about Gen. Wheeler's being an
army officer and a congressman at the
same time. Not even the Republicans are
having word to say about it. Every
body knows that Gen. Wheeler will re-
tire from the army within a short time.
It is equally well known that he is not
drawing a salary from both of his offices /;
one of them he is turning back into the
treasury. His political opponents are sat
isfied, and are not having a word to say;
but some of his political fool friends are
raising great row about it. Ii appears
that there is always in the Democratic
party certain persons ever ready to attack
and tear down the popular and successful
men of their own party. If Bailey would
use his energies towards beating Repub-
lican schemes. and let Gen. Wheeler alone.
his efforts would be more acceptable to

ROBERTS AND THE WOMEN.

Notwithstanding the opposition of hun
dreds of thousands of women in all parts
of the country it looks as if Brigham H
Roberts, congressman-eleet from Utah.
would be permitted to take his seat in the
House OF Representatives. Roberts. as is
well known, is the possessor of three
wives. The women who are protesting
against permitting him to be recognized
as a member of the House take the ground
that poIygamy is unlawful, and that If he
should be admitted 10 a seat In Congress
1t would not be long before polygamy
would be openly preached in Utah and
plural marriages would become common.
But what can Congress do about it.?
The claim is made that Congress cannot
constitutionally deny to Roberts the seat
TO which he has been elected and it can
not constitutionally enact a law making
polygamy unlawful in any state.
In a well considered opinion ex-senator
Edmunds says: I'm my opinion the gov
eminent of the United States has no con-
stitutional power to prevent polygamy In
a state. Attention was called 10 this be
fore Utah was admitted but Congress
chose TO admit the state Notwithstanding
1t is within the legal power of Utah and
every other state to make polygamy law

Here 3 a nice state of affairs! When
Z Utah was admitted II was the very general
understanding that barriers had been
erected in Utah against polygamy that
could never be thrown down Now we are
told by one of the most eminent legal au-
thorlties In the land that not only can
Utah enact a law permitting poiygamy.
but that any other one Of the states can
do It, In other words. the Mormons have
but 70 get control OF Utah 10 make polyg-
amy as fiourishing an institution as Il ever

HEALTH PRECAUTIONS.

The newspapers of New York and Phil
adelphia contain accounts daily of the
presence of the grip in those cities. 1t is
probable that the disease is present in
many other cities in a very mild form.
1t is not malignant, however, In either
New York or Philadelbia, but it is expect
ed by physicians it will become so. In New
York its presence is attributed to the
snow which has not yet been removed
from the streets, and which, 1t is said,
contains a large amount of filth. Doubt
less the presence of the disease in Phila-
delphia is due to the same cause.
In this city there appears to be an cpl
demic of colds, and it may be that there
are cases of grip. The recent cold and
damp weather has left its marks. No
doubt that in most instances the colds
from which people are suffering are due
to carelessness. People expose themselves
unnecessarily and then wonder where
they could have caught cold. BY little
care a very large percentage of the sick
ness due to colds could be avoided. People
get their feet wet and neglect to change
their shoes and stockings, or they sit in
draughts or go out of warm rooms into
the cold air insufficiently protected. A
little forethought would save suffering
and doctors bills.
In this city the conditions are such that
there should be but little sickness. due to
the weather. 1t is true that there has
been a great deal of bad weather within
the last six weeks-much more than US
ual-and for that reason there is ground
for hoping that there will not be much
more during the winter. If such should
prove to be the case the chances are that
we would escape the grip, practically,
however widespread and malignant the
disease might become in the North and
West
