The news from Cuba keeps the public
guessing. Very little of it holds together,
but all of it is exciting. One day We have
General Gomez in the character of an in
CRATE. conspirfng against the Americans.
The next day all Of this Is overturned, and
General Gomez Is in conference with Gen
eral Brooke, apparently enjoying the Amer
lean commanders respect and confidence
Today Gomez Is clear out Of the traces
again And so 1t goes. Verify no man can
tell what day may bring forth in the way
OF cablegrams from Havana
1t Is perfectly evident, however. that
a great deal Of distrust exists in Ha-
vana on both sides. The situation
seems to lend itself little to mis-
understanding and suspicion. The Gu
ban delay about complying with the Ameri-
can terms as to the distribution of the
money intended for the Cuban soldiers is
necessarily Irritating It is. to say the least
of il. very unbusinsss- The money is
hand. and was sent according to what
was considered a definite understanding.
1t ought to be paid out. and the transaction
closed at as early a day as possible The
interests Of both sides demand this.
The Cubans should give. no heed to talk
about there being a secret American pur-
pose connected with the proposition for dis
armament There is no such purpose:
There need be none. The United States
will treat Cuba fairly. The government is
so pledged. and public sentiment still sus-
tains the pledge. But while the United
States remains in Cuba its authority must
be supreme, and there should be reduced to
q minimum every temptation to resistance
on the part of the thoughtless and the i'm
patient. When an army disbands it stacks
its guns Those weapons are not required
by Men returning to the pursuits of peace.
All the published demands made of the
Cubans are reasonable and legitimate. and
lley ought TO be promptly complied with in
a spirit of confidence and good will.

A Little OyerdOne.

A New York paper printed on Saturday
what purports to be a fac smile of a let
ter from Admiral Dewey, dated March 10.
from which the extract following Is taken:
alfred Chasseaud, Esq:
Dear Sir: ! have the pleasure to &C
knowledge the receipt of your letter extend
ing an invitation on the part of a commit
tee from the best elements of the city of
New York to a banquet in my honor
This extract raises three suggestive ques-
tions: % Who is Alfred Chasseaud? %
What constitutes the best elements of the
city of New York;" 80 BY what authority
does Mr.. Chasseaud undertake to repre-
sent them. their genuineness being once
satisfactorily established? And these, in
turn. suggest a fourth pertinent query:
Isn't the business of volunteers rushing
In and inviting Admiral Dewey to do things
and see things getting to be a little over
done?

The Man Who stopped and the Mnn
Who Died

Ex-Governor Flower died virtually 'in
harness. as the phrase runs He was in
the midst of great financial transactions
curing the later days of his life. He was
handling hundreds of millions for himself
ana Tor other people. His own wealth had
grown 10 enormous proportions. 1t is easy
= peheFe that the breakdown which re-
suited in his startHngly sudden death was
due primarily to the excessive strain which
this activity in the field of monumental
transactions inevitably caused. 1t may well
be questioned why Mr. Flower elected to
remain in the active arena after he had
more than passed the point of stupendous
success. The mere piling of million upon
million could not well add consequentiaIly
TO his power as a money magnate He al
ready held the control of industries of
vast and varied character. To double or
quadrupie his fortune would merely be to
double or quadruple his responsibilities
Years ago he reached the stage where lux
ury of living and freedom from the care of
earning the wherewithal for this course
were assured to him. Had he ceased then
to engage in the scramble of Wall street
or at least lessened in his intense activity
as money king he would doubtless have
today been in good health, with the pros
pect of many more years of life. For he
was but sixty-five years of age when death
overlook him He had been chief executive
of his state and had won the esteem of
many men. There was much left in life
for him without the intoxication of the
financial game His sad death and the wise
course pursued by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie af-
ford striking contrast which may we'll
be studied by the men who are engaged in
the mad rush for record breaking wealth.
Ar. Carnegie is today in good health and
with excellent prospect for a prolonged
career. He is happy in the consciousness
Of success and the enjoyment of the means
of doing great good. He is scattering bene-
fits upon all sides, wisely, literally and to
the unquestioned betterment of coming
generations. He has had enough of the
strife for aggresating wealth. MIR. Flower
is suddenly cut down in the midst of
career which has taught no lessons of
good, as regards the personal equation. de-
spite the integrity of the man and the
cleanness of his Individual record. He
leaves behind him vast fortune, and
some endowments. That he has given free
ly TO charity and to other worthy causes
does not minimize the fact that as the case
stands. in contrast with that other just
mentioned, all his struggles, all his sue
cess and all his sagacity do not count today
in the worlds balance for as much as the
in his money-getting in time to supervise
the distribution of his surplus to the best
advantage of his felow-men.

Admiral Dewey's Decision.

Admiral Dewey has told US that he is not
a politician. That may be true in one sense.
but he is developing qualities which a poll
tician might employ with excellent success.
Take this matter Of his Homecoming. No
sooner was it announced that he would
shortly leave Manila than invitations began
to pour in on him by cable from every
quarter of this country to accept hospitali-
ties more or less elaborate. The average
politician. flattered and bewildered by the
demonstration, would have resolved him
self into the committee of the whole on the
state of his fortunes to determine what to
do The result would have been to in
crease his embarrassments. And In the
end he would have been swamped. Admiral
Dewey decides instantly, and saves him
self. There is disappointment, of course
But very much less disappointment than
would have resulted had he halted and con-
sidered and permitted the competition for
his presence to grow In a word Admiral
Dewey possesses decision. The explanation

people for their greatest living sailor. But
all can be proceeded with now without

Still another point is that we shall have
the admiral in improved physical form as
the result of his slow journeying. He is a

To judge from the letters we have re-
ceived on-the subject, the news of the latest
lynching of negroes in one of the southern
American states has produced a painful i'm
preston in this country. Yet it was but
one among many, and hardly worse than
many previous ones in its barbarity. 1t is
indeed not the first time of late that man
has been removed from or deprived of civil
trial and burned alive under the stars and
stripes. In fact, it seems though the
northern American public were growing
caiious to these horrors. They are loathed
i'll the north and west much as they are
in England. but the civil power dare not
strike and put them down, as would be
done in any other civilized country in the
world. The preponderance of the negro in
the south is a truly terrible problem of
American life. and there would be every
ground to sympathize with the white race
in its determination not to be swamped by
the African but these awful popular out
bursts of bloodthirsty savagery obscure
every political and social argument. Sew
erai of our correspondents ask us in all ser
iousness to tell them if it is really in the
United States of America that these acts
are being committed. We most earnestly
wish we could say no.

Andrew Carnegie.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

The retirement of Andrew Carnegie from
the control of the vast industrial concerns
that are the creation of his brain Is the
most interesting piece of information de-
yeloped In remarkable period of industrial
expansion and development. His works
speak eloquently for him and the greatness
of the man is seen In his mills, which he
leaves to his partners and successors. and
his libraries, which he gives to the people.
Mere possessions are not indicative of a
great character, but the erection of struc-
ture portrays the builder. 1t is as build
er this community knows Carnegie and
what he has built is In plain view
Now he withdraws himself from even the
advisory relation he has of late sustained
toward his business, and in the enjoyment
of the completed harvest of his active life.
and of his freedom from business RESPONSE
biltty, he WILL we are told, devote his entire
time for the remainder of his life to his
congenial philanthropies. We simply give
expression to a general feeling in wishing.
that the years 30 devoted may be many.

presents pictures and a description of a

are to be of white marble enriched with ap-
propriate carvings, The building will have
a frontage Of 80 feet on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and 127 feet on 18th street, and will be
a structure which any paper might be
proud to occupy. The Star Is entitled to

The Quiet Season.


1t approaches, the time when the carrolline
bird,
AS he sits there aloft on the sinuous
bough,
In joyous out-pourings OF music is heard,
While the cricket and frog make their
usual row;
When the sun shimmers soft on the velvety
moss,
When the mud turtle languidly looks Ger
the scene,
When the water bugs ripple the pond as
they cross
And the sea-serpent blinks at the flying
machine
We will Welcome these friends who have
cheered US of Old
When worldly affairs seemed to languidly
halt;
When diplomacy had no new plots to I'M

And fame no new figure to swiftly exait.

sects convene,
