A Sensible Cuban.

With due discount for natural mis-
understanding and eXaggeration, il is
evident that our pathway to the paci-
fication of Cuba is to be full of thorns.
Racial suspicion, bred in the bone dur
ing centuries Of oppression and intri-
que, will be against us, and the large
element OF ignorant natives utterly un-
acquainted with American ways will
be inviting raw material for the handi
work of professional disturbers and ad-
venturers.
Such being the prospect, 1t is encour-
aging TO find here and there a promi-
nent Cuban possessing strong common
sense. One Of these is Rafael de Car
denas, bngadier general in the insurg-
ent army who took Aranguren's place
in the vicinity OF Havana when that
dashing young Hotspur fell. Says Gen
eral Cardenas: IL have full confidence
in the good faith with which the United
States interfered in our war. That
country did not make war to conquer

Where Experience Counts.

In every field of human activity in
telligcnt experience counts: but it is
especially valuable i'm halls of Iegisla
tlon. No man holding commission
from the people can do his best work
during his first term. especially if that
term he brief, allowing small opportun-
ity for becoming familiar with the
tricks ana quirkS said to he found in all
trades. In congress it is notorously tru a
that the first-termcr. unless enjoying
special advantages. has little to do with
shaping important legislation: indeed.
it is rare that congress will give the
first-termer even Il chance to make a
speech. Custom in that august body sits
down on the tender foot with almost
the same relentlessness that it used to
IN the West; and not until he has
served his probation and won a re-clec-
ton or two is he permitted to show
what he can do.
The same fact is i'm evidence in both
branches of the state legislature at
Harrisburg. The new member can vote
and do committee work If he wants to.
until he discovers the contrary; but
when IT comes down to the fine points
in parliamentary practice and proce
dure and To the proper sitting of pro-
posed measures of legislation the man
who has Comuletcd his Apprenticeship

of course, exceptional instances of first =
tormers springing Minerva like into
the forefront of the situation; but they
are not frequent enough TO modify the

Cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
appreciating this fact, send men to the

THE SEA KINGS.

Since the Golden Hind went round ;he
Horn and circled a world unknown,
Wherever the tides OF God have beat and
the winds of God have blown,
From the sunrise seas to the sundown
seas. by the storm and the spindrft
whirled.
The sons of the men who sailed with
Drake have ruled the water world.
And whether they sail from Plymouth
Hoe or out of the Golden Gate,
They are brothers in blood linked heart
to heart and to a resIstless fate;
For the quenchless ardor TO rule the seas
which time can never sldke,
Makes the same blood race through
Dewey's veins that throbbcd from
the heart of Drake.
And all the way out of trafalgar, down
into Manila Bay,
The Anglo-SaXon has sailed and fought
and struggled and won his way;
And wherever the tides of God may beat
and the winds of God may bow,
IT will be tomorrow as it is today and Il
was In the long ago!

Were MOI Buying

y marked reduction in the foreign
purchases of the people of the United
states in the year 1895 compared with
those of preceding years Is illustrated
by the figures of the British Accounts
of Trade and Navigation of the United
Kingdom covering nine months of
the calendar year 1898, which has just
reached the treasury bureau of statis-
tics. This official publication showing
the exports of the United Kingdom to
various parts of the world compares
the exports Of the nine months ending
September 30, 1898, with those Of the
corresponding periods of 1897 and 1885,
and where these are stated by coun-
tries an opportunity is given to COM
pare British exports to the United
states in 1895 with those of preceding
years, and at the same time determine
what other leading countries are do
ing in the matter Of increasing or de-
creasing their imports.

In one of Mr.. Wanamakers latest
speeches there was a long argument
for equalization OF taxation coupled
with the insinuation that Colonel Stone
was opposed to such a policy. When
at Cory last week the Republican
nominee for governor took note of
this attack in this wise: Il am as
profoundly interested in the cqualized
and proper taxation of all subjects Of
taxation as any other man. If Mr..
WaEamaker will come to Harrisburg
after | have been elected governor [
will be very glad to patiently consider
any proposition looking to a more
equal regulation of taxes. Ii he will
begin by proposing to tax the great
merchants Of the state whose sales are
more than S5,OOO,OOO annually so that
they shall pay a propOrtionate mer-
camille tax with all the little merchants
who are i'm competition with them,
viii think he is sincere" 1t is now IN
to Mr.. Wanamaker to say something
more on this subject.

The Fashoda Incident.

The immediate merits OF the row
which France and England are having
over Marchand's occupation Of Fas-
hoda are "A little obscure to the aver
age Onlooker. The fact seems to b."
that England. as the suzerain of Egypt,
claims contro! of the Niles from lakes
10 delta to be essential to her policy
of Egyptian Improvement, while
France holds the head waters of that
stream to be open country, subject to
squGttcr sovereignty and hence has
prc-empted n tempting claim.
This issue in itself is hardly of sufij
cicnt importance to Justify threats of
rcsorting to war: but, taken in Connec-
tiOn with other notorious efforts OF
jealous continental powers TO crowd
English colonzing enterprise not only
out of the new flel1s but also ont Of
old ones, it probably imprC sses the peO-
pie of Great Britain as being a good
starting point for n discontinuanCe Of
the turn-the- -other-cheek policy and
the substitution of an utmatum or
two. II is clear to most persons that
England will sooner or later have to
fight in self protection against the al
lied forces which menace her and the
opinion is not incOnsiderable that the
sooner the gage Of battle is thrown
down, the better will be England s
chances of winning her point.
1t is probable that the French gov
ernment is playing the Fashoda Incl
dent as an Offset to the Drcyfus agita-
ton, very much as the Spanish dynas-
~ thought To play war with the
United states as foil to the revolu-
tionary spirit at home. Spain found
the attempt somewhat costly and
France will DO well to profit by her
example. France cannot confront
England in war alone, and Russia can
not aid her without incurring the risk
Of having to face Germany as Brltains
ally. Therefore it is unlikely that the
matter will cventuate in blows. There
will BE- a period of public bluffing,
covering secret negotiations and
France will pull Marchand off. getting
some nominal concession elsewhere as
balm to her wounded honor"
