English Restaurants.

Americans when they first come over
to this country can rarely quite tumble
to the peculiarities of our English res
taurants. A wealthy Yankee friend of
mine, who was over here a little while
ago to complete the formation of an
important limited liability companv.
thought it would be a good thing To
invite all those concerned in London
to luncheon one day. Accordingly he
went to the manager of one of the
most celebrated of our fashionable res
taurants, and, after engaging a private
room, gave instructions that no ex-
pense should be spared to make the
meal astronomical success, the onlv
proviso being that he should select his
own wines. Everything passed off
splendidly until the cigar and ooffaa
stage was reached, and the host asked
that his bill might be brought TO him
He assured me that he had never felt
smaller in his life than when the head
waiter in the hearing of the assembled
company, approached him, and in a
loud voice asked And how MANY
breads have you had. STRIP 'J1Ist 40
though / had been busily engaged in
counting how many rolls nv enests

perience to me afterward OF course

for bread. Why is the custom not GEN
orally introduced over here?-The

Confessions.

It was on a crowded suburban car
out of Washington one day last sum-
mer that a middle-aged woman carry
ing a fretful baby was forced to
squeeze herself into a small space left
vacant beside dapper youth of pos
sibly twenty years. His countenance
had all the expression of his immacu-
late white suit, except for a look of dis
gust which he assumed as the baby
In it's restlessness, would touch him
with foot or hand. Finally he turned
toward the woman, and inquired, in a
tone quite audible to those near him.
t'Ah, beg pawdon, madam, but has
this child neutrality-suspicious. 2"
The nurse was a motherly looking
woman. CHANGING. compassionately at
him through her gold trimmed spectacles
she remarked, meditatively.
We'll, now, don't know, young
man; but-ah-it might be to you. She
is teethingi"
After this, for a few moments before
he left the car the young mans face
was a study in expression.-Harper's

Those Of us who had by reason of
think freedom a sham in France, must
now change to other conclusions. Not
only has lola been granted a new trial,
but the appellate court has had the
courage to read the tribunal below such
lecture as must have made magis-
terial ears Jingle More than that; the
ringing words of the upper court were
addressed to all the people of France,
and have a clarion tone that is a
warning to the military powers. who
seem to have reached the judgment
that the laws are to be enforced only
when the gentlemen of the sword please
to grant permission. One of these au-
tocratic military chieftains had the i'm
pertinence to go to the chief of the
appellate court in the lola case, and
indicate to him that the War Depart
ment would be displeased and would
manifest its displeasure unpleasantly
for the court, if the tribunal decided in
favor Of the novelist. It stands to the
credit Of France and to the honor of
freedom that the magistrate arose with
due dignity, but with thunders on his
brow, and replied: When / warp my
convictions of the law and the rights
of French citizens, at the dictation of
the army, peace and liberty will have
departed from France, and an igno-
minious death I will deserve What
a splendid rebuke it was, to be sure.

THE KIND OF MEN WANTED.

If we are involved in war only trained
and sound men will be taken into the
service. This has been resolved upon.
Unquestionably an immensely larger
number of volunteers will offer than we
will have need for. The Government
will not, therefore, be obliged to accept
without choosing. 1t is not going to
cripple itself by taking on host of
soldiers more than half of whom will
be on the sick list and in hospital after
weeks campaigning and camp life
We have in the United States. it is
estimated, fully 100000 trained men,
sound and acceptable in all respects,
who are ready to again serve their
country, and on but a small proportion
of these has age SO told that it would
be unwise to employ them in hard field
work. There are q 900 in the regular
army, and of these at least 10000, it is
believed can be made available, leav-
ing a sufficient number as nuclei for
garrison and works protection forces
| along with volunteers and militiamen
distributed among them in twice that
number-or thrice, for that matter
1t is the judgment of the most ex-
perienced officers that at least 100000
of service know what camp life is, and
how to bear it, can be had for the ask
ing, and at once. This force will prob
ably be ample in case we need to en-
ploy force in the field at all; for there
| is a hope still entertained that a de-
monstration of force without actual
conflict may result in an adjustment of
the present difficulties by the recession
Of Spain.
1t takes time to teach raw men to be
| useful in an army-much time. 1t is
not a work to be accomplished in a
week or month. General Grant once
| said that with experienced National
Guardsmen he should want three
months before going into an engage
ment. Trained men, being sound. are
| those the army of the United States
will ask fc-, in preference to all others.
There will be greater difficulty in Sc
curing similar material for the navy,
but our merchant marine is expected to
furnish quite enough to man all the
ships we will have. In that arm of
| service it is true that we are not
equipped as a nation of this import
ance should be- When this whole thing
is over it is likely that our statesmen
will heed the iterated advice of naval
officers for years past, and put the per-
! sonnet Of the navy upon such a foot
ing as will make it compare creditably
with the naval force of any other coun-
try. If it is not done the old adage
that experience is the mother of wis
dom will be proved false

Anent the Cuban excitement and the
reference in debate to the possible an
nexation Of the island to this coun-
try it is valuable to recall some facts
of history, beginning with the purchase
of Florida from Spain for $4,000
President John Quincy Adams was the
first to suggest that we buy Cuba but
Spain declined to sell. President Polk
authorized our Minister to offer Spain
100000 900 for the island in 1913, but
Spain again declined. Then came the
Lopez filibustering expeditions. but Lo-
PEE lost his cause and his life. France
and England then proposed that we
enter into a tripartite agreement with
them that each should forever refrain
from any attempt to acquire the island
and that the three would resist the eff
fortsof any other Power to take it. We
refused the offer but announced that
we had no intention of annexing Cuba,
or in any way acquiring possessions on
the island. At the same time we told
Europe plainly through the celebrated
Everett letter that we were jealous of
any European intermeddling with the
matter since it was purely IAN Amer
lean question" In 1854 President
Pierce called together our Ministers to
England. France and Spain to consider
the question Of Cuban annexation. The
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1898-04-18

result was the celebrated Ostend mani
festo, in which annexation by pur-
chase was declared to be advantageous
to both Spain and the United States,
but that if a purchase could not be
effected, we should take possession un-
der the justification that we needed
Cuba for our protection. That ques-
ton went into our political campaigns,
the Republican party of 1856 denounc-
ing the suggestion of the manifesto,
and the Democrats not expressing
themselves upon the matter. But in
1850 the Democratic party pronounced
in favor of peaceable acquisition.
Then came the civil war; and the Gu
ban question dropped out of sight be-
fore the greater matter concerning the
people of the Union. The next impor-
the Grant administration upon the sub
ject with which our readers are famil-
lar, that following upon the outbreak
of what is known as the long insurrec-
ton in Cuba But it is safe to say
that Cuban annexation is dead
question in the United States now. 1t
certainly has not been a political one
for the past twenty-five years, and it
probably never will be again. The
people of the United States do not de-
sire the annexation of Cuba, and it
will never be effected by reason of
any sentiment in favor of it as a mat
ter Of national policy. What may
result from war with Spain however,
no man can foreten. War is a thing
such contests have been early foretold.

General John ]. Coppinger. He is an
Irishman by birth, but long ago adopt

graduation from West Point. In 1860
he went to Rome and was made a

1t was General Coppinger who caused
the breach between President Harrison
and James G. Blaine. Coppinger is
the son-in-law of Blaine, and the dead
statesman asked Mr.. Harrison for his
appointment as a General. The request
was refused because it would require
the jumping of Coppinger over num-
