The Passing of RIanco.

BIanco's boosted death in the last
ditch, it appears, meant nothing more
serious than a resignation in time to
turn over to a subordinate the trying
task of surrendering Cuba to the Unit
ed States. Gen. Blanco came to Cuba
with a great flourish of trumpets and
goes home via the little end of the
horn. But, in spite of his Boosting
and his failure to save Cuba to Spain,
there is something pathetic in the
passing of SPANS last captain gen.
eral in the Western world. In the ma
ture of things it is not in human pow
er to win back the island for the boy
king. Blanco doubtless did the most
he could. which was not much. He
suffers from circumstances over which
he had small control. He goes back
into a comparative obscurity with
nothing to console him but the thought
that a man of much less ability might
have lost the island with better grace
and a. less expense.
1t is something to occupy unique
place in history, no matter what that
place may be, but 1t is doubtful II
Weyler, who was only one OF long
line of cruel and rapacious rulers, will
not appear TO better advantage in ret
respect than will the last of the Cas-
tilians to exercise vice regal powers
in the palace at Havana. Weyler pre-
tended to no virtues he did not pos
sess. He came to Cuba to crush out
rebellion by any means at his COM
mand. He stopped at nothing. While
perhaps he fastened the end, that end
was already inevitable, and The
Butcher will be ranked in history as
a man who, in a cruel and mistaken
way, did his best TO save cause that
was hopelessly lost But Blanco came
bearing the gifts of the Greeks. He
promised mildness and mercy to the
Cuban and breathed defiance to the
foreign foe. Now he goes home a fall
ure. and it does not appear that his
rule in Cuba was much less severe
than that Of his predecessor, or that he
struck one blow for Spain that might
not have been expected from medioc-
rity. In retrospect. it appears plainly
that Blanco was not the man for the
occasion. Events demanded either an
abnormal sense of right or total lack
of conscience. In Blanco there was
neither the one nor the other. His
passing may be set down as an exam
pie OF invited fate. sorry. but at the
same time certain.

RACE ISSUES.
Cardinal Gibbons Discusses the Ne
gro in the South.


BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 25-Cardin-
al Gibbons, in discussing the recent
race troubles in the South, said:
In the history of mankind it has
been observed that when two distinct
races co-existed in the same territory
one race has always exercised a GER
tain supremacy over the other. While
this principle is admitted it Is the
manifest duty of every patriotic states
man and Christian to see that rela-
tions between the races should be
friendly, harmonious, mutual and
beneficial
THE race conflicts, antagonisms and
bloodshed, which have recently oc-
occurred in several states of the
Union. can be largely traced to two
great cause.-the one-sided and ill-di-
rected system Of negro education and
the indiscriminate exercise and conse-
qUent abuse of the ballot box.
THE colored race" continued the
cardinal, ARE naturally kind and gen.
tie, affectionate and grateful, with re-
ligious emotions easily aroused. But
the education they are generally re-
ceiving is calculated to sharpen their
mental faculties at the expense of their
religious and moral sense. 1t fosters
ambition without supplying the means
of gratifying it. 1t feeds the head,
while the heart is starving.
No education is complete that does
not teach the science of self-restraint,
and this is found only in the Decalogue
and in the Genesis, but it is hard to
get hearing on the subject of popu-
lar education. We must appeal from
Peter drunk to Peter sober.
THE abuse of the ballot box is
chargeable more to white demagogues
than to the blacks themselves. The
politicians use the negro vote for their
own selfish purposes. L am persuaded
that a restriction Of suffrage by prop
erty qualification would be a wise
measure. 1t would be an incentive to
industry, and as men are instinctively
disposed to protect their own property,
they will naturally vote for those rul-
ers and public officers who, in their
Judgment. are most qualified to protect
their property from unjust and exor-
bitant taxation and to promote the
material prosperity Of the common

HIS LIPS SEALED.
Red Cross Physician Not Permitted
to Criticise the Government.


NEW YORK, Nov 25.-Dr Monae
Lesser, who was in Cuba, in medical
charge for the Red Cross society. was
a witness before the war inquiry board
today. Replying to questions by DR..
Connor, he told of the arrival of the
Red Cross in Cuba, and of the offers
of supplies made by him at the in
stance of Miss Barton.
Asked by DR.. ConnOr to tell what
he knew of the condition of the trans
port Concho, and of the precautions
taken in selecting the men fit to be
sent home to the United States. DR..
Lesser said the transport was in excel
lent sanitary condition, was well-found
in food and medical supplies, and only
the men who were actually GONZALES
cent were sent aboard. The trouble at
sea was occasioned by the relapse
caused by the change of air. Men, who
were apparently well when they left
Cuba, developed malarial fever when
they landed eight days later at Mon
tauk.
WAS the supply of food and medicine
sufficient for those aboard?" was ask
ed
II cannot answer that question. The
Red Cross rules DO not permit me to
criticise the government"
You are not asked to criticise"
Il cannot tell If the supplies were
sufficient or not, without criticising
those who put the supplies aboard"
Il might tell, If l knew, exactly what
supplies were there. but L cannot ven
ture an opinion as to the sufficiency of
the supplies. l believe that not one
death occurred on the Concho, but was
caused by the patient himself or by the
mistaken kindness of ore Of his friends.

PARK CHURCH.

The song recital at the Park Congregational
church last evening was artistic throughout,
and it is to be regretted that so many failed
to enjoy the pleasure of SO well balanced and
well rendered programme. The audience
was heartily appreciatiye of the recital, ar
ranged by Mrs. Jessica De Wolf and Lewis
Shaw, who were assisted by Miss Mile
Pettgieser and Louis Rol,o, a leading Chi
cago tenor. There was nttle-very little-to
criticise in the entire performance and
much to praise The programme was in two
parts. The first included q solo by each
or the four singers. while the second was
the famous song cycle of Liza Lehman, I'm
Persian Garden" which has attracted SO
much attention all over the world. Mr.. Rollo
opened the evening with Allitsen's "A Song
OF thanksgiving, which is SO deservedly
popular, and his sweet tones made him
friends where before he was almost unknown.
Miss Pottgieser gave Dudley Bucks Sunset"
acceptably. Mr.. Shaw sang Leoncayallo's
prologue ctPagliacci') and as an encore re-
sponded with Rubinstein's "Du Dist Fine
Blume. Mrs. De Wolf closed this part of
the programme with two numbers IAN Irish
Love Song" by Lehman, and Maids of
Cadiz, by Deltbes. Encores were demanded
OF all four soloists, but only the one response
was given.

programme of this great work was thoroughly
and artistically rendered, with evenness and
beauty Of tone throughout, the four voices
blending admirably in the quartettes and
each striving for the perfection and finish of

was never in better voice, her high tones
being especially clear and ringing, and her
whole performance justifying the high rank
that has been awarded her in Northwestern
musical circles. Miss Pottgieser's voice was
as ever rich and full, but her work was far
once just trife heavy. This Song Cycle
has some exquisite tenor solos, and style and
artistic finish were to be noted in Mr. Rolo's
work, the high passage in his solo, "Ah

The Carrying of the Mails.

Col. w. P. Clough, vice president Of the
Great Northern Railroad company, has,
within the past few days, given some
sensible and practical views to the
congressional committee Investigating
the subject of trar smission of mails.
Col. Clough maintains several impor-
tant propositions To begin with, the
mails are weighed by the government
quadrennially and upon the record
thus secured the compensation to the
railways for the succeeding period is
based There is always a certain num-
Der Of employees Of the postoffice de-
partment carried over the railroads
without charge. Col. Clough shows
by his computations that this service
amounts to $500, 900 passenger miles on
the Great Northern system alone,
which. at a charge of cents per
mile, would yield an annual revenue
of $40, 900. He maintains that what
costs the company in the performance
of the mail service is not the weight
Of mail hauled, but the car space nee
essary From weight, the principal
element of service has passed to space,
and the distribution of this volume
than the revenues supply.
In the older and more largely set
tied sections the variations between
quadrennial weighing periods are less
noticeable than on the lines in the less
developed areas of the country, for in
stance west Of the Mississippi river.
Col. Clough makes the statement that
on the Great Northern the mails dou-
BILE in weight between the weighing
periods. but, notwithstanding this
fact, no additional compensation is
allowed by the government for the
service rendered, the growth Of the
mails being entirely at the expense of
the carrier He argues, therefore,
that space and not weight should be
the basis of pay for service. He points
to the larger cost of operating trains
over long distances, as, for instance, in
the Western country. He recommends
the division of the territory traversed
into districts, and that tariff OF rates
should be established which would ap-
ply to similar conditions existing in
one Of such districts with another. In
this manner he believes more equita-
BILE system can be put into operation
ard one which shall fairly compen-
safe the carrier for the outlay neces-
sary and the service performed.
The suggestions of Col. Clough are
entitled to much consideration as en-
anating from a representative of one
of the most practical railway systems
in the country.

r1innesota's Good Name.

The Republican press of Minnesota
has not shown a very high degree Of
loyalty to the state by it's foolish talk
regarding the election Of John Lind to
the governorship. craftsmanship has
prevailed in this caee-overpatriot-
ism-a quite nonsensical proceeding.
Good, common sense men do not stop
on partisan lines. They choose the best
man when they come to the polls. That
is what they did week before last. The
Minnesota electors simply did not like
Mr.. Eustis, and they took Mr.. Lind
instead. If we should be required to
stand Mr. Lind's good name up against
that of Mr. Eustis, SO far as outside
elements are capable Of judging, would
not the New Ulm man stand forth per-
fectly well equipped against the Min
neapolis man, so far as honest dealing
and honesty of association are concern
ed?
The victory has been won in this
state by an honest man, supported by
the Democratic voice Of Minnesota No
explanation of results is necessary. 1t
Is altogether foolish for Thomas Coch-
ran to write to the New York Mail and
41ApitSS Dis Il representative VI Il loan
association, doing business in st. Paul,
and seek thereby to create a favorable
impression in the direction of his bust
ness enterprise. Mr.. Cochran is not
a self-appeinted agent of the honesty
of Minnesota. The people of this COM
nonwealth would have been Just as
honest and fair-dealing whether
Thomas Cochran had found a refuge
for his feet here or not. Such volun-
tary offerings. on the part of the citi-
Zens of this state, are undignified and
uncallsd for John Lind's election rep
resents the voice of the people. That
voice has nothing in 1t Of dishonesty,
and the more the small fry people Of
the state seek to magnify them
selves beyond the boundaries of the
state by altogether needless advertise
ment of apologies for the state, which
they are in no sense called upon TO
offer, the better it is for them that
they should be reminded Of the folly of
their own conceit
