It is to be hoped that reports of prob

correct. The country, at least the Repub-

pass a simple, comprehensive currency bill
as soon as possible after 1t convenes. and

To-Morrow I'm Cubn.

Mr.. Charles NJ. Pepper, the author OF To
morrow in Cuba at the outset Of the more
recent troubles in that island urged the in
tervention of the United States. He went
to the island in the spring of 1897. and he
has been there most the time since. There
are correspondents and correspondents.
Some are mere reporters Of what they see.
while others study conditions and closely
note the results of movements Mr.. Pepper
belongs TO the latter class. For that reason
his book is commended TO those who are
seeking information resulting from careful
investigation of conditions and events. n
considerable portion of the book is devoted
To recital of the events of the two years
prior to the declaration or war by the
United States. No writer has SO clearly PRE-
sented the changes which occurred in that
period. including the diplomatic EFFORTS OF
President Mckinley 10 bring peace 10 Cuba.
In this diplomacy the President won be-
cause he obtained from Spain. In its acts:
an admission of the right OF the United
States to interfere in behalf OF the people
of adjacent territory. The recall of Weyler
and tho attempt of Spain through Blanco
to win the Cubans TO autonomy was a
ernment to insist upon humane policy In
regard to Cuba. Autonomy came too late:
the Cubans demanded independence Tns Inc
an end 10 the policy of the President which
might have caused Spain TO leave the
island without war. The larger part OF tne
book is devoted to a survey of the conditions
of the people and the country. While Mr..
Pepper has little to say OF the intelligence
of the people he is confident that they can
be taught self-government. His tomorrow Is
rather to-day. He holds to the idea OF In
dependence for Cuba after We shall have
taught the people what good government
is. He is certain that Cuba's problems
cannot be settled from without. He protests

This is one of the series OF @. Il. Putnam 3
Sons known as Questions of the Day"
This is the third edition of the book. which
has been revised and enlarged and brought
down to the present time. "Monopolies
and the People" is written by Charles w.
Baker, editor of the Engineering News.
Mr.. Bakers first edition was published ten
years ago, when he noted the tendency to-
ward trusts and monopolies. Then he said
that "monopolies are the salient feature or
our present Industrial situation. and. more
over, they have come to stay" The author
conclusion ten years later Is that the
death of competition in the great proportion
of the industries is inevitable" He flnds no
way by which full and free competition can
be brought TO life. Ii is thing or the past
a condition which has been outgrown. What
then? Shall trusts and monopohes De a.
lowed TO continue? His answer Is In the al
firmative; but he thinks government regula-
ton of monopolies il inevitable as the only
possible protection of the people against IN
dustrial bondage. He holds that this regu-
latior can best be applied, not from me
outside. is the universal practice at the
present time, but from the inside, through
the representation OF the public IN the gov
erning bodies of the corporations whicn Own ,ha
and manage the great monopolieS or the
present day. This. the author says. may
seem revolutionary, but IL invoiNes no
greater interference by government with m
Gustrial affairs than is already authorized
by law and precedent. We have government
directors for the Pacific railways because
the government was stakeholder: We hays
interstate railway commissions The state
has grain inspectors and meat inspectors; u
requires that certain goods shall be branded
"a government that does all these things
has a right to limit the profits In mono
poles in order TO protect the people. and TO
be represented by directors. The writer
takes occasion TO declare that the men VINO
have formed industrial trusts and monopo-
lies are no worse than those who denounce
them. since human nature is the same. and
those who denounce trusts would be silens
IL they had a chance to organize one OK
their own.

PEACE PLANS.

The American plan Of arbitration which has received such flatteIing at tention at The Hague is a plan to pro vide for arbitration from which there can be no receding. It is a bid for arbitration that would if adhered to, be far mcre effective than even the czar's scheme of disarmament.
 The plan provides that the interna- tional tribunal shall be made up of members chosen by the highest courts of the nine countries interested; that the tribunal shall be permanent; that il is to have jurisdiction over all mat ters submitted to it, with the under standing that the decisions are to be accepted; that litigants must submit their cases voluntarily; that each case must be tried by the permanent mem bers of the board, all of them CT by such as may be selected; that there may be a rehearing within three months after a decision is given, and upon the finding of new evidence.
 A hearty and straightforward adher- ence to such a set of rules would be ef- fectual in disposing of many of the vexed questions that frequently arise between nations. There would be a measure of pride that would suggest apponl to the judges in order to settle irritating problems. There would be a disposition to avoid being the first to sat aside the agreement. and the gen eral effect would be for peace through diplomacy and reasoning.
 l. is to be sincerely hoped that some such plan as that offered by the Unit cd States will be adopted. It is direct and to the point. The Hague congress could not dc better than to accept the American tender

BOGUS CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.


 The enemies of the president were not slow in denouncing as a return to
 the spoi.s system the recent crder is
 sued at Washington by which 4,000
 civil service employees were exempted
 from the provisions of the law cover
 ing that service It is to be remem-
 bered that during President Cleve-
 lands incumbency, having filled most
 of the federal offices in the land with
 partisan henchmen who in many cases
 displaced wqrthy Union veterans and experienced and trusty servants, he is
 sued an crder throwing the civil ser
 vice rulef over practically every ap- pofntive office in the government not previously classified. This was a piece of political gallery play which tended
 not only to give life jobs to Cleve-
 lands appointees but to win the ap- pause of professional and doctrinaire ''raformers" with whom the civil se-- vice is hobby. This sweeping Cleve- land order covered many positions ut terly ursuited to civil service require ments, such as private secretaryships, confidential clerkships, deputy rev enue colIectorships, cashierships and other posts Of peculiar responsibility as to which the responsible heads of departments should have the freest privilege of selection. It is absurd and wrong to dictate to an official who is amply guarded by heavy bends UT by the possibility of instant dismissal for malfeasance in office. whom he shall select for his near assistants. No railroad or other great. and successful enterprise would think of So doing It was tcl right this manifest absurdity in principle and practice that McKin- ley's latest order was issued. It was a 6-mccratic statesman, Marcy, who coined and made vital the phrase 'T0 the victors belong the spells" It was a republican president, Grant, who tc3k the first practical steps toward civil service reform These leaders were typical of the attitude of the great parties they represented toward this subject, and the attitude of neither has changed since their time.
