borne the part Of a true patriot. He be-
sire to believe, that the race will prove
worthy of the great services which the
United States rendered to 1t. He be-
lieves moreover. as the mass of the
American people believe, that the occu-
patton of the island by Americans will
not last longer than is necessary to lay
securely the foundations of an adequate
form of government, under which the
country will have an opportunity to re-
cuperate its shattered forces, and which
will secure peace and freedom to the Gu
ban people.
1t must be admitted that, at least on
the surface. the men to whom this people
should look successfully for active and
disinterested cooperation in our efforts
themselves utterly unfit to be charged
with responsibility for the future of
Cuba The officers of the Cuban army
with very few exceptions have shown
themselves to be no more than a set of
cheap marplots. But it is probably en-
tirely unfair to judge the whole people
by the standard which they have estab-
lished. The mass of the Cuban people
the statements of Gen. Wood the masses,
at least in the province of Santiago, are
worthy of having entrusted to them the
most responsible public positions in the
reorganization of the country.
If Gen. Gomez's advice is adhered to
the period of American occupation will
be necessarily brief. If the influence of
his former subordinates in the army is TO
prevail it must be said that the future
of Cuba is a very uncertain affair.

THE LADIES AT woRK

The ladies of the Second ward have
very clearly demonstrated that thew
have entered on their chosen work with
a degree of practical capability which
would do honor to even the best in
formed and most energetic body Of the
same character that could be FORMED
from among members of the other sex
They do not regard. themselves as a
mere amateur body called into existence
to pass resolutions and endeayor to
throw the labor Of their undertaking on
other shoulders They have clearness of
vision sufficient to enable them to dis
tinguish the most urgent demands of the
situation and to take the necessary steps
for meeting them.
If these ladies can furnish a remedy
for the barbarous display of street adj
vertising, offensive alike to good taste
and to public hygiene, they will certain
ly render an invaluable service to the
community. That they have. put their
hands to the most needful work is safe
warrant that it will find a remedy under
their direction. The evil, as we all IN
derstand, is one of national proportions
1t has been the theme of satirists and q
subject of condemnation on the part of
every foreigner who has visited the
country. 1t is tolerated in the cities
principally through the neglect of pub-
lie officials and the Indifference of in
dfvidual property owners. There is no
more reason. however. why the prem
fses of any citizen should be defaced nv
such vulgar displays as are involved In
most of the advertising schemes of ouacx
medicines and other such imposturas
than that any other private injury should
pass unnoticed.
