THE IDOL OF -; :.
THE ARMY
Cuban Soldiers Still Hold
to Gomez.

NEW YORK, March l4.-A dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says:
The tea pot of Cuban politics has been
fairly boiling over again. The Gomez
and anti-Gomez factions of the revolu-
tionary party are vying with each
other to fan the flames of .discord
kindled on Saturday by the military
assembly's attempt to depose the
veteran insurgent chief from the
leadership of the army. It is clear
that the controlling element In the
assembly could not have measured
accurately the prestige and popularity
Of that what some nondescript body
before plunging into the foolhardy
contest with General Gomez which
Saturdays resolution of ofdeposition has
precipitated; flor with all the faults of
temper and judgement which may be
charged against him, Gomez remains
the sole. military hero of the late
rebellion, the one figure which appeals
without reserve to the great mass of
Cubans' whose tacit rather than active
support made the maintenance of the
i1surrection possible.
Had Maceo or even Garcia lived,
there might have been rival within
the army to divide with Gomez the
honor of the struggle against Spain,
and to challenge now the expediency
of his political policy, but among the
generals of the military assembly
none has as yet so recommended him.
self to Cuban opinion as to attract a
distinct or devoted following. The
influence of the assembly as whole is
not to be set for a moment against
the real chief of the army, who fought
its campaigns, and is now endeavor-
ing, with apparent disinterestedness,
to secure for it the only compensation
for its labors which it can reasonably
expect to receive.

"We therefore hold that q colonial
policy is contrary to the theory of our
government and subversive of those
great principles we have been taught
to cherish. We believe with the
Declaration Of Independence. that all
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed, and
we are unalterably opposed to the es-
tablishment of any government by the
Uuiteo States without the consent OF
the people to be governed. and in con-
formity with these principles we in
struct the minority members of the
committee on foreign affairs to intro
duce and urge the following resolution:
Resolved, That the United States
hereby disclaim any disposition or in
intention to exercise permanent soy-
ereignty, Jurisdiction or control over
the Philippine islands, and assert their
determination, when an independent
government shall have been erected
therein, to transfer to said govern
ment, upon terms which shall be
reasonable and just. all rights secured
under the cession by Spain, and there.
upon to leaye the government and
control of the islands to their people,"
The adoption of these resolutions
had an effect upon some OF those who
hold that the "stars and stripes should
never be hauled down from place
oyer which they have been once
waved" that the shaking of q red flag
il the face of q mad bull has. Yet
those who revere the Declaration Of
Independence and the provisions Of
the national constitution can find
nothing Objectionable in them. This
republic was found on the principles
that there is nothing in the divine
right of kings and no power should at
tempt to govern without the consent
Of the governed. Then If those are
the fundamental principles of our gov
ernment, we should not attempt to
hold the Philippine island in subjec-
ton or the people thereof as subjects"
II we hold to the principle that self
government is right, then the attitude
of the administration toward the Flip
mos is wrong. Therefore there is
noting in these declarations to which
truly liber:y-loving people can OBJ
ject. and If they are to be made the
principles on which the democratic
party shall 60 before the people in

CUBA'S MISTAKE.

The Cuban assembly has certainly
taken an unwise step in attempting to
throw discredit upon General Gomez
and In dismissing him from the army.
The charge is that Gomez is q ''traitor
to Cuba" q most absurd and ridicu.
lous accusation. After having spent
the better part of his life in fighting
for Cuban independence, to be thus &C.
cused is travesty upon PATRIOTS m.
Might as we'll accuse Washington of
being treacherous of America or Joan
OF Arc of being traitor to France.
The real animus Of the accusations
against Gomez is that he did not get
more money out Of the United States
with which to pay the Cuban soldiers,
and because he failed in this he is i'm
pesched.
In their action the assembly have
created grave error in two ways.
The world will recognize in Gomez a
greater patriot than any member of
the assembly, hence any attempt that
may be made to throw disgrace upon
him will not be we'll received abroad,
and in the hearts Of the Cuban soldiers
and populace there Is warm place for
the grizzled old soldier, therefore he
has the backing of his nation while
the assembly has not. He is stronger
in every respect than the assembly,
and will be q general long after the
members of the assembly are forgotten.
But the contention that has4arisen be.
tween him and the self constituted
rulers will result in no good to the
Cuban republic.

LABELLING sHODDY.

One Of the greatest frauds that has
been perpetrsted upon the people is
that Of Offering for sale inferior ar
ticles both Of food and wearing apparel
that are recommended as genuine,
though in reality are not what they
pretend to be. For instance, oleomar-
garine Is labelled butter and cloth
that is half cotton or shoddy Is sold as
all wool. Thus the purchaser is mis-
lead, and the producer Of pure articles
is forced into competition with The
inferior. So fragrant has this abuse
become that it has caused producers
Of pure articles to begin taking steps
to protect themselves. The wool
growers, who held their convention
in Pendleton, recognizing that their
business is seriously interfered with
and is put at q disadvantage by coming
in .contact with shoddy and cotton
mixed goods, unanimously adopted
the following resolution:
"Resolved, That national legislation
should require all manufacturers of
cotton and shoddy goods mixed with
wool, to be labelled in Q manner to
indicate the character Of their compo-
sition, before being placed on sale. for
the reason that greater portion of
goods manufactured and sold as wool
ems. are, as matter of fact, beiug sold
on false representations injurious
slike to consumers of clothing and
producers Of wool. And that, pending
such national legislation, committee
be appointed by this convention to
draft and submit to the Legislatures of
the several states represented, such
laws as may meet the existing condi.
tions which seriously affect the wool
growing industry, by reason of the
increasing use Of sboddy and cotton
In the production Of what are called
woolen goods"
The action Of the wool growers
should be needed by the national con-
gress, for there certainly is need OF |
that will protect purchas-
ers against being imposed upon. Ha
purchaser wants to iwear goods made
partly out Of shoddy or cotton 1t is his
but II he wants all wool |
articles he should be able to distin. |
guish them by the brand from infer
lor goods I'm short every piece Of |
goods should be branded just whatit is. |
II Il 10 part shoddy 1t should be so
in order that the purchaser
may always know what he Is getting.

MUTUAL INSURANCE.

There is no business in the United
States that is more perfect trust,
or that Is more extortiouate than the
fire insurance business. So perfectly
are all the reliable companies united
in their insurance association that
there is absolutely no competition,
for rate books are made up that no
agent dare deviate from, and the in.
sured has no option but to pay the
premium demanded. And since in.
surance has become as much necessity
to business as meat and bread are to
human life. the public has no choice
except accede to the demands, no mat.
ter how extortionate, hence insurance
companies have q monopoly of bust.
ness that under their perfect organi.
zation can be made as profitable as
they may desire.
The same conditions prevailed with
reference to life insurance few years
ago, when the old line companies were
the only means through which an in
dividual could provide protection for
his beneficiaries after his death,
and prices became SO runious that
only those with stated salaries
aud large incomes c1uld afford to
carry insurance upon their lives. AS
q result fraternal beneficiary organi-
cations were formed, that carried in.
surance at actual cost, requiring MEM
bers to pay premiums only when funds
we're needed to pay losses. Aud while
entirely too many such societies have
been formed, they have accomplished

everybody.
The extortionate rates demanded by
fire insurance companies have neces-

sary to pay losses as they fall due. and
create . reserve fund sufficient to
meet probable immediate demands.
By this method it has been demon.
strated that insurance is carried at
much less cost to the insured than in
the regular companies. This method
of insurance is as yet rather in an
experimental stage, but it is proving
successful, and as soon as it proves
itself to be reliable, mutual fire in
surance founded on an assessment plan,
will become universal system. Or

people can always be depended upon
TO meet such exigencies.
