pieces of furniture were gifts from for

Neither former Presidents Cleveland
nor Harrison have expressed desire to
travel in Europe, though it is said that
neither one has ever been abroad. Mr..
Harrison Is reported afraid to go, be-
cause of the public dinners; and Mr..
Cleveland is opposed because of the i'm
possibility Of shooting wild ducks for a

longs for society triumphs abroad,

The superstition that no ex-president

After marrying Mrs. Dimmick Mr..
Harrison took his bride back to Indian

there last spring was born little girl,

Grover Cleveland's domestic life is the

spectacular.
Within a few months after entering
the White House Mr.. Cleveland, then

SPANS ADVICE
NOT DESIRED.

This would appear to be not the
proper time for joking, says the Wash
ington Star. And yet Spain comes
forward full Of solicitudc about good
government for Cuba! In order that
this may be assured she wants the
United States to enter at once and per
mancntly on the administration of the
affairs ofthe island. The pledges made
by the United States on the subject
she would have disregarded That is
the Spanish way of doing business 1t
Is not the American way. The United
States will enter on the task of admin
istering affairs in Cuba because the
task by virtue ofthe situation devolves
upon this government. If annexation
follows, soon or late, it will only be at
the unintimidated request of the Cuban
people, and not as the result ola scand-
alous violation of the plighted word.
The talk about protecting the inter
ests of Spanish property owners in
Cuba is based upon the old order of
things. Good government for Cuba
means the protection Of all interests.
1t was Spain who gave protection to
the interests Of only one class. 1t was
Spain who put the interests Of the
Cubans under her feet. 1t was Spain
who created such anarchy in the island
that all interests but those of the Span
ish-born suffered. 1t was this that
brought on the war. 1t was this that
caused the United States to order
Spain off the western hemisphere. The
United States, therefore, can be relied
on, in any government of its own, or
Tor which it is responsible through 9th
crs, to see that all the old abuses are
excluded from the new dispensation.
SPANS uneasiness is natural. 1t is
that Of the wretch taken red-handed.
She knows her deserts, as measured BY
the ordinary standards, and she trem-
bles for her hide. She is prompt to
plead for the consideration which she
has denied to others. The tyrant in
power is ever the cringing pleader in
defeat. Having pursued the instr
gents with every form of outrage, she
fears their resentment now that her
power is broken.
The new government for Cuba will
mean neither revenge nor expressions.
but opportunity and safety for all who
obey the laws and love the land And
this will be all the more easily accom-
plished without suggestions of any
kind from Spain. 1t would be as APP
propriate to consult the devil about the
details of the millennium as Spain about
good government for Cuba.
