The terms In which Gen. Blanco an
nounces that an armtstice has been de-
termined upon In Cuba at the behest
Of the pope serves to remind US Of the
extraordinary authority still exercised
by the head OF the Roman communion
In Spain. The people OF this country
have regarded his offers Of mediation
as no more than the kindly offices OF a
venerable churchman whose mission 1t
is to preach peace. The fact that so
much Importance IL attached to his wish
that 1t Is made the excuse for q most
serious political step suggests that after
all he may become q more potent factor
In the solution Of the problem than any
other influence among the many now
being exerted.
The pope has been kept informed Of
the shocking conditions In Cuba by the
courageousiy and frankly expressed
hts detestation OF the policy OF weyler.
1t Is possible that papal authority may
be exerted to induce the people az Spain
to submit; to the loss OF Cuba. although
such proposition coming from the gov
ernment would. without the papai sane
ton. lead To revolution.
Spain has not always felt 1t necessary
TO its honor to retain Cuba, and has
even on several occasions proposed to
sell IL. One of the most notable in.
stances Of the effort to be rid of the in
cumhrance II that when Maria Chris
tina. then queen regent OF Spain. offered
to sell not only Cuba but Porto Rico and
the Philippine islands TO France Senior
Campuxano was directed to conduct
Philippe. who then occupied the throne
OF France. The price asked was So
ooo, 600 Spanish reals for Cuba and TO-
Ua. 900 reals FOR Porto Rico and the
Philippines. Together these sums would
have been equal to about s. ooo.noo at

now and the paltry sum which was re-

We should Be sorry to suppose that
any young woman Of the class which

fLticn would sanction such q vulgar Of
Tense against good manners- It could
only be suggested by that unfortunate
tendency on the part Of both young wo-

There was q time. ana not 50 very long

By irresponsible and sensational news

Good manners win not compensate for
had morals, but good manners have the
effect Of shaming bad morals and main

would endeayor to live up to II young
women would insist upon it by rebuk-

An Iowa Judge, In passing sentence
recently upon a young man charged
with betrayal. took occasion to con-
denim the use OF slang. He said that
the letters Of the girl as well as Of the
young man indicated a laxity OF self
respect on her part and Of respect for
her on his, which might naturally be
expected to lead to the Disgrace which
had come upon him and the misery up
on her He expressed the wish that
good morals and good manners should
be more thoroughly and fully taught
In our common schools and that they
would be found much more valuable
than the learning OF books and false
Ideas Of modern accomplishments. This
Is very serious responsibility to place
upon the teacher: 1t belongs rather to
the home. 1t IL difficult to lay down
rules. but good taste will very readily
