To know her was to love her; the

found in her a ready sympathizer,
a kind, true friend. After the
last sad rites were over, her re-

pie were fairly entitled to know how
long this surveillance was to last, and
there are many people in the United
States who have some curiosity on the
same score. The silence of the admin
istration is ominous. Not a sign has
been given that Mr.. Mckinley has the
remotest idea of carrying out the dec
laration contained in the war resolu-
ton.
Probably it will be answered that
the original agreement will be carried
out when the Cubans are fit for self
government. But that proviso is not
contained in the war resolution, and,
besides, there is no way of determin-
ing a peoples fitness to govern them
selves except by allowing them to try.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
declare a people unfit for self-govern-
ment and thus permit a stronger power
to deny them all the inalienable rights
of man. 1t is evident that the Cubans
themselves are beginning to think
aloud on this subject General Gomez
has recently been doing some talking,
and what he says may be deserving "a
a little attention. Cuba could not sue
cessfully war with the United States
but she could make pretty bit of trou-
bic, and We already have enough of
that sort of thing in the Philippines.

and his department called it round
robin. In turn, while giving out Roose-
velt's private note with alacrity, the
war department tried to conceal the
statement from the officers. But the
department leaked-the public got the
news; SO mighty was the pressure of
public opinion that Alger was compelled
to back out, and in a little while the
flood of facts about Alger's maladmin-
istration was coursing over the United
States.
In the face of this experience the
cabinet evidently intends to be shy Of
Philippine round robins. Indeed, is
meets the conditions with a counter
irritant in the way of joyful udings
sent out this morning to the effect that
we are, once more, within a few min
utes of the end; that the best part of
the islanders will yield; that our volun-
teers have developed a desire to serve
longer; and all that, and all that.
Which the same is right good news--if
true. But you can't prove the truth of
it by the Oregon boys lately arrived at
San Francisco.

~ HE latest humiliation of the
United States lies in the discov-
cry, through the medium of a
Cuban newspaper, of the fact that
Americans have no culture
Ell Diaro la Marina says, among other
things, that monopoly coupled with
the use of machinery, has served in the
United States only to curb personal
intellectual endeavor, to disappoint
high ambitions and to make culture
and knowledge hardly worth a candle"
1t concludes with the reflection, con-
soling to itself no doubt, that while
Americans may be richer, stronger,
more active and more business-like
than ourselves-the Spaniards-they
cannot claim to be cultured, not
even to the degree Of Spain's Cuban
offspring" Ell Itaro etc. gives no data
of any kind, as a basis for the view,

No Match for 1t.

lHEN you think of it, there has
w been no match for Ayers
case. You may be man of
venerable years; your memory may run
back readily to the days of the civil
war, when generals We're in to-day and
out tomorrow and when cabinet off,
GERS We're the target for severe criti-
oism. You may be able to bring to mind
seasons when public opinion has been
under severe tension and when the
fault-finders were in the saddle-bus
your experience, in respect to men in
public life, furnishes no parallel for
the Alger case, nor does your knowl-
edge of history suggest one.
Secretary Alger became the object of
well-merited public rebuke before the
war with Spain was fairly on it's feet.
Indeed, in the days prior to the war,
when hostilities We're merely impend-
ing, the suggestion of a war with Rus
sell A. Alger at the head of the war
department was, of itself, ominous and
uncanny. Those who. at that time,
knew Alger best were sure that he
must speedily be removed: you will
remember how the hint ran then that
Mr.. Mckinley must not blunder as Lin
coin did when he chung to Secretary
Cameron a whole year.
If the criticism of Alger is not as
good as universal, you cannot, at any
rate, point to influential newspapers in
this land in which he finds defenders.
The press dispatches have renewed the
declaration about his refusal to resign
until the item has become a travesty.
Staunch republican newspapers are
among his bitterest critics-they have
tried to drive him out, to coax him out
to shame him Quit has all been in
vain.
In these republican organs the last
resort is an appeal to the president to
thrust Alger out. That was tried
months ago. 1t failed and it will fail
again-Alger has a mysterious hold on
Mr. Mckinley. And it is a fact that
the oldest citizen of this republic can
not recall the like of this man Alger's
gall in hanging on when the voice for
his retirement is as good as unanimous

How About Cuba?

IN the general interest felt concern
ing the Philippine situation, Cuba.
the cause of it all, seems to be almost
forgotten. The Standard is not quite
certain whether 1t is treason to refer
to the policy of the administration in
Cuba, because we have not seen the
latest addenda to the definition of
treason from those who seem to have
taken the subject specially in charge,
Hence the approach to the matter js
made with feeling closely akin 10
reputation. Nevertheless the fact re-
mains that the war with Spain was in
augurated for the exF~essly-declared
purpose of giving to the Cubans a free
and independent government of their
own, and we really can see no harm in
asking whether that purpose is to he
carried out, and, if so, when. In fact
the policy of the administration has
been shifted so often in other matters
of Importance, and upon this one it's at
titude has been so peculiar, as to creat e
feeling of painful uncertainty. So
that, in common with many well-mean-
ing people who are in the dark, the
STANDARD would like to know how it
is about Cuba.
The first thing done after the evacu.
alton of the island by Spain was for the
United States to take possession of the
Cuban revenues and expend them, in
utter disregard of what the people of
the island may have desired. This was
in ~
merely as a preliminary step to the
transfer of the moneys to their right
full owners, but it is on this very point
that the uncertainty arises. And this
feeling is strengthened by the circum-
stance that, almost Immediately after
taking possession of these revenues, the
treasury department proceeded to ad-
just them to the American monetary
standard.
If this money We're being collected
for expenditure in the United States
such an adjustment was proper enough.
II the purpose was ultimately to make
Cuba part of this country, that might
be given as an explanation, if not q
justification. But if it was the inten-
ton of the administration to carry out
in good faith the resolution of con-
gress and give the Cuban people gov
eminent of their own, this action of
forcing upon them a foreign money
standard is wholly inexplicable. The
natural and proper course would have
been to allow these people to continue
in the use of the money to which they
were accustomed, in which all their
contracts had been made and in which
they were payable.
The stopping of the bull-fghts of the
Cubans, interference with their nation
al games and prescribing what kind
of shirts the men should wear may all
have been well enough as police regu-
lstions but, at the same time. the peo-

Round Robin Number Two.

u T yesterdays session of the cabi-
I net there was discussion of the
! round robin, as the recent Joint
statement of the American correspond
ents at Manila is called. BY the way,
each one of our modern wars is, an
parently, to have it's round robin. The
war with Spain furnished one. Admin
istration circles sneered over it at first
but before officialdom was through with
it that round robin, probably inspired
by Roosevelt. proved to be a very hot
number. 1t laid the foundation for
more unpleasantness than Secretary
Alger has been able to this day to cope
with successfully.
1t transpires that the cabinet circle
will not take notice of the Manila round
robin lin any official way" that is to
say, General Otis will be left to deal
with the press conditions as suits his
pleasure: he is not to understand off,
cially, that the cabinet has cognizance
of the statement made by the press re-
porters. Well, perhaps that's the more
clever way. The war department did
take official notice of the Santiago
round robin. 1t did this in an AIger-
esque way: and the war department
lived to wish that it hadn't done any
thing of the kind.
Do you remember the Santiago round
robin? 1t is worth recalling. 1t reached
the public in the first week in August
of last year. Roosevelt had sent a pri-
vate note to Alger. 1t was informal
it was addressed MY Dear Mr.. Secre-
tary" In this note Roosevelt said:
We earnestly hope that you will send
us, most of the regulars and, at any
rate. the cavalry division, including the
rough riders, who are as good as any
regulars and three times as good as any
state troops, to Porto Rico" 1t occur
red to Alger that he could make himself
solid with the state volunteers by Civ
ing to the public this private note with
his answer to it. So, both came out,
Alger saying: The regular army, the
volunteer army and the rough riders
have done well, but / suggest that I'M
less you want to spoil the glory and
effect of your victory, you make no in
vidious comparisons"
1t didn't work Ayers way. The Off
GERS at Santiago conferred with Roose-
welt; they discovered that the war de-
partment proposed 10 hold them in
Cuba. Alger was sending messages for
the withdrawal of the forces to more
healthy province" The result was that

New Inventions.

A carving knife sharpener and fork
guard are combined in a Pennsylvanian's
patent, the upper portion of the guard
having two discs carried on spindles to ro-
tate as the edge of the knife is drawn be-
tween them.
A folding stepladder has recently come
into use in which the legs and step sup
ports are hinged at the center to close up
when not in use, allowing the ladder to
be stored in about half the space Of the
old ladders.
In new bicycle tire the resiliency is
obtained by following the face of the rim
deeply and stretching a strip of fabric
across the face, with a ring of rubber
or other flexible material suspended in the
center of the fabric.
A pneumatic axle bearing for vehicles
has been patented to take the place of
inflated tires on road wagons, being less
liable to puncture, the weight being car
ried by pneumatic rings placed inside
drums surrounding the axle.
The recoil of field cannon is decreased
by new German device, a horizontal rod
being placed at the end of the trail, with
a spur to be forced into the ground, a
spiral spring surrounding the rod to break
the force of the discharge.
In handy patch for pneumatic tires a
flexible band is provided with a curved
plate at one end and link at the other
end, which hooks on the plate after 1t is
wound around the tire, the plate being
sprung downward against the rim to lock
the patch in position.
An Austrian has patented a new auto
matte tire inflator which can be attached
TO the frame of the wheel when not in use,
the piston being operated by an eccentric
disk fastened to the axle, which causes
the piston to reciprocate in the pump
cylinder as the wheel revolves.
A Swede has invented a lift for piiing
lumber in which two nearly vertical posts
are attached to a platform car. sliding
