Te testimony of all wo have come in
contact with Gomez is that, whatever
his defects of temper, he is the per-
sonification of honor. Just now his
position is strikingly anomalous. Rec
ognizcd neither by his ostensible Ameri-
can friends nor by his Spanish antagon-
lists, and without the means of turn
ing his armed forces into immediate
producers, he can only await the day
when our government undertakes seri-
ously the problem that Gomez himself
is unable to solve. Thus far we have
made no provision on any adequate
scale for the encouragement OF agrlcul-
ture and industry in Cuba and the en-
ployment of its destitute population.
We have no doubt that when the real
start is made by us in that direction
there will be no more helpful auxiliary
than Maxine Gomez.

A Grand Old Man.

AS the troublesome days OF Cuban
reconstruction grow nearer the figure
of Cubas grand ,lo man, Maxine
Gomez, looms up larger and finer than
ever. At the age ct "A this veteran
fighter gives counsel TO the people of
Cuba which indicates his possession Of
qualities Of genuine leadership. For
himself, he wants no office and yearns
10 return to his own home in San Do
mingo. But for his colleagues in the
Cuban revolution he wants justice and
haip, and to both they are manifestly
entitled.
TO correspondent of the rabid Span
ish paper, the Diaro de la Marina of
Havana, who interviewed him recently
at Caibarien, General Gomez gave a
statement of which the following is an
outline, the words being the interview
er's own: In regard TO the situation
in Cuba. Gomez is Of the opinion that
there is need of work, since the war
has left the country in a disastrous
economic situation. He says that IL Is
necessary to give Il chance to take
order by means of the efforts Of Span
iards from the peninsula and Cubans
without distinction. They must forget
their grudges and set TO work. Gomez
thinks Of floating loan; he needs the
assistance of all; he wants the money
TO establish works; he does not ask
for public subscriptions or presents; he
will take the money, paying a moder-
ate interest. He declares that IL to
make the revolution and start the war

mists. The revolutionary party has the

The Menace of Swallowism.

The Harrisburg organ of the Swallow
movement sticks to its stencil with a
persistency worthy of more decent
cause. 1t is now at John Wanamaker's s
throat because that gentleman, be it
said to his credit, has announced that
personalities should not enter into the
prevalent political discussion in Penn
sylvania. 1t argues that because a man
is before the public for consideration
as a candidate for public office there
should be no restraint upon those hec-
toring scandal-mongers who are always
ready at the signal of command TO
scoop the sewers for mud with which
to bedaub the candidates private life

character. 1t wants not only liberty OF
public criticism but also unbridled 4

Copperheadism.

When the Thirteenth regiment boys pc
titioned the secretary of war to be sent
to the front, and the Times commended
their spirit, and urged that their wish be
granted, The Tribune sneeringly and COW
crtly asserted the Times was anxious to
have its friends and neighbors placed in
danger. When the war was ended and
the Thirteenth boys announced, with one
exception, their desire to be mustered out,
The Tribune argues it is the duty of the
regiment to remain in service, TO guard
against eventualities, that Spain may
want more thrashing. From all that can
be CLEANED, when the men wanted to get
into the fight, the officers used their pull
to get off of the list for the Philippines
