Note and Comment.

A short acquaintance with the article
has made the citizens of Havana quite
friendly to American money, which
now passes without question at gold
rates. Wherever civilization obtains a
foothold there is no discount on cur
rency with the United States behind it.
Ex- Minister to China DENLY says the
United States "should retain control
of all of the Philippine Islands," The
case must be strong one when Gle
veland Democrat talks in this fashion.
But Mr.. DENLY is familiar with the
commercial features of the Eastern
hemisphere.
Gen. Wheeler expresses the opinion
that the Cubans and Porto Ricans are
tractable and easily governed. They
ought to be by this time, but if an APP
peal to reason is not sufficient the United
States authorities will soon find some
way TO control them. Uncle Sam is
strong on reason and logic, and when
these fail he is just as resourceful in
other directions.
81 don't quite understand" said the
Civil Service examiner, "why you
marked one answer to be continued"
"You mean the one in which 1 was re-
quired to give the boundaries of the
United States ?" said the young wo-
man. eyes" Well, 1 thought it
wouldn't be well to be too positive un-
til after the Philippine question is set
."-(Washington Star.
High among the heroes of the war
must stand DIR. George w. Lindheim,
surgeon of the Eighth New York Vol
unteers. He died on the field of war,
pierced by the shafts of ignorant vitup-
Grafton; but he had done his duty, and
his memory is the memory of hero of
his noble profession. He saved the
sick committed to his care, and then
himself fell prey to the enemy from
which he had rescued them.

euvres on Salisbury Plain" we are
told, "are reduced to living skeletons
by the blazing SUM-" They Suffered
considerable privations," it is further
related, and were without food and
drink for hours, or until civilians sue
cored them. "Some of them suffered
30 much that they committed offences,
preferring prison to the the treatment
they have been receiving on Salisbury
Plain" Sufferers from sickness and
accidents complain of great neglect"
"Serious breakdowns in the transport
and commissary departments" are re-
ported "The military prisons in the
neighborhood were so overcrowded
that the officials declared they would
not receive any further prisoners"
All this occurred in England, be it re-
membered, and not in America, and al
most within hearing of the British war
office.

Beggar, But no Liar.

"Yes, sir" said the one-legged man
mournfully TO the man whose attention
he had attracted by addressing him as
"Ssy friend"-"I lost this leg at Cuba,
and that's the truth"
"You don't say" the other observed,
alphabetically. "I've been reading
about the trials and troubles of you
poor fellows-that is allowing you are
telling facts and really were there"
Friend, l hope l may die in this
spot and die painfully if it isn't just as
l tell you. i know am suspected as a
fraud, because there are so many liars
who try to work on peoples sympathies,
but l am telling the actual, honest
truth. 1 lost this leg in Cuba. If
you'll give me dime, mister, I'll tell
you all about it. It's very interesting
story"
The sympathetic stranger, being as
sured, complied.

began, "and nobody but fool or man
who was half drunk would have

that rainfall and the mud and expos

"Yes it was dark night, and you

bright light flashed over to the west.

"Only one? But of course there was

"There was only one of 'em firing,

Champlain.

The government very properly sent
a cruiser, the Marblehead, to represent
it at the unwilling of the statue of
Champlain at Quebec. The Biscayan
sailor, whose active career began more
than three centuries ago, laid other
countries besides his own under obliga-
ton through his explorations, although
no place is 30 appropriate for his statue
as the famous old Canadian city which
he founded, long governed, and largely
developed.
1t is rather odd that Samuel de Cham
plain, though he came honestly by his
seamanship, his father being captain of
ship, began his career in the army.
But he soon took TO the sea, and his
voyages were mostly connected with
North America. His great explorations
were on the ST. Lawrence and it's trlb-
utaries, and it was during one of these
voyages that he founded Quebec, two
hundred and ninety years ago. During
the following year he entered the great
lake to which he gave his pane, and at
that time, with his Indian allies, he be-
gan the war against the Iroquois, which
was continued internationally 30 many
years. In one of his fights he killed or
MORALLY wounded three Iroquois with
his own arquebus; in another, he him
self was severely wounded. His was a
career of adventure, and it included
several years of imprisonment in Eng
land, since in 1923 British fleet, un-
der Kirk, compelled him to surrender
Quebec, of which he was at that time
governor. After the treaty of 1882 he
was reinstated in his office.
Champlain also founded Three Riv-
ers, built fort on Richelieu Island
and in many ways strengthened the
French colony. He saw Quebec grow
during nearly twoscore years, and in

President Maso, of the so-called Cub
an Republic, calls the American people
"our ally of yesterday, our host of today
and our friend always" This character
iszation is all right. The American
people have shown friendship for the
Cubans without any precedent in the
history of the world. They have ex-
pended hundreds of lives and hundreds
of millions of dollars to give freedom
to the Cubans, and they did this, too,
without any immediate expectation of
gain to themselves. They promised to
let the Cubans set up an independent
government if the majority of the Cub
an people desire it. This promise will
be kept. But there is no good reason
to suppose that majority of the Cub
ans want a separate government. When
the voting takes place it will be I'M
doubtedly be shown that most of the
Cubans want to become part of the
nation which freed them, and which is
able and willing to give them the stabil-
ity and the progress which they could
not gain by government of their own.
Cuba, by the free voice of its people
will annex itself to the American re-
public. Democrat, st. Louis.
