ROUGH HEWING.

The average reformer intends
well, but he is deplorably lacking
in tact. What is worse, he does
not believe in tact, Nothing ac-
counts for so many failures in re-
form as the idea prevalent among
reformers that if a man is moving
in a good cause he needs not stand
on the order Of his going. There
is manifest in every reform move-
ment an insane fondness for reck-
lessness. "Hew to the line, let the
chips fall where they mayW shouts
the frenzied leader, But too often
he is not concerned abont the hew-
ing to the line at all, he only wants
to hew so the chips will fly, If the
chips will fly high enough and fast
enough his soul is satisfied, We
had hoped that the social purity
reformers would prove an excep-
tion to the rule, but we have been
doomed to disappointment. II
there is a matter which calls for
caution and delicacy, it is this mat
ter of social purity, but in no other
movement have we witnessed Sc
much recklessness on the part OF
well.meaning people, There is a
pamphlet on our table written by a
titled lady of Europe, It's aim Is
above criticism, but ITS method OF
treatment is abominable, A family
physician would hesitate to use in
the privacy Of a sick room the Ian
guage which she prints for the eyes
of hot. blooded youth, We do not
hesitate to say that it will suggest
more impurity than purity and we
are not sure that 1t will not do more
harm than most pamphlets written
with ignobe intentions And this
may be said of a great deal Of so
cial purity literature. There are
many things which our young peo'
pie need TO know but we would ad
wise parents to be very chary OF
the books that propose to give the
needed light, And we would give
the same caution to young men
concerning certain class OF lee
lures "for men only,"-Richmond

established will be republic under
the protection Of the United States,
but that this will not long exist is al
most as certain as that the island will
be freed. Cuba is rich in agricultural
and mineral resources, and so eoon as
Spanish rule over the island shall have
been broken these riches will attract
the attention OF Americans. In brtef
space of time they will become the pre-
dominant element on the island. They
will flock there by the hundreds OF
thousands, and being more intelligent
and energetic than the native Cubans
will soon get control of the reins OF
government. The natural consequence
will be q d..si.e 70 annex the island to
the United States on similar terms as
those extended to Hawaii. Being able
to outvots the natives, they will ac'
complish their end, and Cuba will
come in as Q territory or state.
Before this will haye been accom-
plished, Cuba will have become
Americanized, and its institutions will
be so similar to ours that the change
will be unobserved except in name.
However, when Cuba shall have been
annexed. an era OF great prosperity
will begin. For under American goy-
ernment it will become one Of the
greatest producing sections on the
globe. The island is capable OF sus-
tanning population of 5000, 900, and
it will be but few years until it will
have that NUMBER. The future Of Cuba
IL indeed bright.

A DISGRACE
TO PORTLAND.
The Old City Jail Is Not What it
Should Be.

PORTLAND, July 2l.-The old agita-
tion concerning the disreputable den
known as the Portland city Jail has
again broken out in violent form, this
time on sanitary grounds, viz: That
the present structure is greater men,
ace to the public health than the pes
tilance breeding Chinese dens by
which il is surrounded. If ever any
one thing was a blot on the name OF
our fair city, surely the fact that Port
land, with her 100000 inhabitants.
cannot afford at least, decent house
Of detention where the suspect can be
held without being compelled to herd
with the hardened criminal; where a
woman, who may chance to fall under
the ban of the law. is not compelled to
forfeit her self.respect by being locked
up with the most abandoned class:
where even child in the meshes of
the law, can be treated with the con-
sideration due to its tender years
surely these facts constitute that blot.
Then again, where is the city the
size of Portland but what has an en-
closed police van? Not dragging the
unfortunate suspect through the most
public streets, which street the driver
invariably selects, exposed to the
curios gaze and ribald remarks of
every chance passer. While we are re-
forming, let US reform some of the
glaring evils now staring US in the
face.

A TIMELY SURRENDER.

The surrender of Santiago cam.
none too soon to save the lives O
thousands Of starving residents OF that
city. When the victorious army
marched into Santiago, they found 6
most deplorable condition existing
Food supplies we're entirely exhausted;
and people were begging for bread
Had the Spanish General held out q
week longer, the suffering Of the peo:
pie would have been intense and the
loss of life cry great. =
The Red Cross steamer Texas ar
rived at Santiago On the 18th with
14O0 tons of supplies for the suffering
people, and its arrival was indeed
timely. Scarcely had the cargo OF the
Texas been unloaded, when there was
g scramble of the starving ma sses for
what to them were treasures more
precious than gold-food to satisfy
their hunger. So wild were the pepu.
lace that soldiers had to guard the
provisions to keep the rabble back.
Toral certainly did a human act when
he surrendered, for had he held out a
little longer, the suffering in Santiago
would haye been greater than the hor-
rors of war on the battlefield.

WE'LL KEEP PORTO RICO.
Uncle Sam Does Not Propose to Give
Il Back.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Tbe sub
joined practically official statement
was made to the Associated Press to-
day:
"Porto Rico will be kept by the
United States. That is settled, and
has been the plan from the first. Once
taken, it will never be released. Its
possession will go toward making up
the heavy expense of war to the
United States,"
The same authority says the future
of the Philippines is a matter Of de-
velopment, and that so far there is no
certain policy adopted regarding the
island. The Lsdrones will probably
follow the fate of Porto Rico aud be
come our permanent possession.

Reform THAT REFoRMS.

Two years ago . reform candidate
was elected judge Of jackson county
on q platform that declared for An
economical, honest county sdministra-
tion. As . result the county debt was
reduced az. 600 last year; and in no
instance is there . complaint that
county government has been neglect
ed, or that any interest hss suffered
from psrcimenious administration.
The saving that has resulted cut
ting down the county's debt has been
effected, not at tho expense of good
government, but by seeing that every
dollar paid out by the county has boon
justly earned. AL needless expendi-
lures have been eliminated and. the
county aHsirs have bees s.s>auetsd on
strictly business rasaciplss. As . re.
suit jackson county as paying of the
heritage Of debt which past county
courts hsye piled upon it, .
Jackson cousty has. 8 refern county
court that ..reforns.n one that does
not waste the money collected from
the people in taxes. At the recent
,eiection there were numerous county
ibosrds elected on like platforms,
promising the people. TO effect savings
wherever possible, and it y to be
hopsd they will fulfill their promises
As we'll as has the county court Of
jackson. Whist To- wApted is reform
that reforms, not sstorn, that i. heard
before election and Heyer heard Of
Afterwards,
