Payment of the Cuban Army,

Havana, Jan. 3l.-Senor Fredrico
Mora, the civil governor of Havana, in
an interview declared that the question
of the payment of the Cuban army was
of much greater Importance than the
Washington government seems to real
ize. He said of the Cubans were to
collect the customs OF the islands,
which are their property, their first ac-
tion would be to meet Cuba's sacred
obligation to the army by payment in
full to the soldiers. The customs adj
ministration being in the hands of the
Americans, the Cubans make simple
business proposition to the United
States government that it shall adj
vance money to pay the troops, hold
ing the customs as security

AmerIcan-Canndlan treaty,

Washington, Feb. Prospects for
an agreement between the British and
American joint high commission on
questions affecting Canada and the
United States have greatly improved
within the last week, and it is ex-
pxected now that a complete agreement
or all points will be reached early in
February.
Reciprocity has been the stumbling
block in the way Of the commission.
The principal point OF friction was in
regard to the duty on lumber imposed
under the Dingley law. Canadians
demanded concessions on this that the
American commissioners were not at
first willing to make.
This question has not yet been set
tied. but it is understood that both
sides are more conciliatOry, each being
anxious that the entire negotiations
should not fail on account of one point
of agreement.

White illusion hats made with touch of black and brought to strict severity of outline are already seen, and somehow do not seem at all out of season as you would think.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier
 The iniquity of the decision of Judge Peabody in the Kretzer case is proven by his own attempted defense of an il- | logical and indefensible position. He says: "Whenever there is a dispute, and | the husbands desire is a good one, it 1 should certainly be acceded to- Ac- cordng to the accounts of this case Mrs, Kretzer wished her children to go to church and Sunday school. She may not be a deeply religious woman, but she evidently had sound ideas as to the proper observance of the Sabbath, and desired her children to have the benefit of some training in religion and moral ity. The father wished to have some errand of his own done at a time that would have interfered with the church going. Certainly every rlght-thinking person must say that it was the moth- CTS desire that was good one and should have been acceded to. Too many careless, irreligious men have inter- fered with a mothers wiser judgment in such matters as this, and the result has been ruin to the children and life
 
 they have rarely been publicly justified in so doing.
 After having thus contradicted him. self the judge goes on to say: If he the husband-is then provoked to un due anger I think he would be partly justified in striking her" A little study of common school dictionary as to the meaning of the word undue" might have saved him from this second blunder. And while what he says of the bad example set to children who witness the pickering and disagreements of their parents is true, he says nothing of the evil effect upon them when they see the one who was in the right forced to yield by the insult and injury of blow.
 No one but a Goddess man, with only contempt for that Higher Court before which he must himself be summoned, could have pronounced such a decision as that of Judge Peabody's. And the pity of it Is that too many Goddess men will take advantage of his unwisdom It is not usually necessary for a care less, short-sghted father to resort to violence to undo the teachings of mother who has some idea of duty and responsibility, but if by reason of ex- cessive anger he deals an unmanly and illegal blow he may be considered as legally vindlcated as long as he does not fractrue bone, knock out tooth, or put out an eye. The scars may be deep upon the heart of his wife, and the injury be permanent to the char acters of his children, but there is one judge who will not condemn him.

THE PARKS ron THE PEop1E.

MT Max Adler, the new president of the Chamber of Commerce, conspicu- ously revealed his fitness for the place in his inaugural address which was de- livered last evening and which we print in full this morning We advise all our readers who are interested in New Ha- ven's growth, beauty and prosperity to read it. MT. Adler Is a man of ideas, and is also a practical man. In his ad-
 dress he made several valuable sugges- tions and showed how they can be car-
 what he had to say about East Rock
 park. He pointed out what seems to be
 ignored by some very respectable peo-
 pie in this community, that park in
 order to do the people good must be
 within easy reach of the people. Many
 of the folks in New Haven who most
 need the benefits of the rock parks
 haven't horses and carriages at their disposal They can't fly. They can't leap up the rocks after the manner of the gay goat, and they are either unable or unwilling to walk up them. Why, then, shouldn't they be allowed to ride up in a way convenient for them and within their humble means? It is time the strange and unw!se treatment of the people in this matter should stop and be succeeded by a decent and humane policy. The rock parks ought to be for all the people instead of for a favored few who don't need them as much as their less fortunate brothers and sisters In

Many of them are still in the same condition, and they don't have leaders who encourage them to get out of it.

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.

Some good people in the North who
 have thought they understood the negro
 question ir the South will not be quite
 so sure about 1t when they read that Booker T. Washington, that eminently
 sensible and reasonable negro, recog-
 rizes and deprecates the disposition of
 the negro in the South to antagonlze
 the white man and his politics. "Un-
 consciously" says Mir. Washington.
 i've seem to have got the idea into our | blood and bones that we are only acting | in a manly way when we oppose south ern white men with our votes. In some way, by some method, we must bring the race to the point where 1t will cease to feel that the only way for 1t to suc- | ceed is to oppose everything suggested or put forth by the southern white man." And Mir. Washington writing to colored man in North Carolina, de-
 clares that in his belief there are thou
 sands of white Democrats in North
 Carolina who are 50 per cent. better
 friends to the negro than Governor
 Russell" who Is a Republican and who was elected principally by negro voters
 These remarks of Mir. Washington are much approved by many of his white brethren In the South, who say they are true and wise and that he un- derstands the situation. The Baltimore Sun has something to say concerning them which is worth attention. It as- serts that whenever the "race issue" has been injected into politics, the ne- gro has been largely responsible for it, and it adds: The opposition to him as controlling force in State and city government is based upon his ignor- ance, his temperament, his lack of training and the sad experiences of the past which have demonstrated that with his unfithess for administration, he is as corrupt as the most venal whites. It is not because he is black | that the whites resent his assertion of | his rights under the constitution. but ', because his comprehension is so limit | ed that he Is an easy tool in the hands | of spoilsmen, and votes absolutely ac- cording to his prejudices and without i regard to any consideration except the fact that the majority of the white peo- pie vote the other way. Under such the negro is menace to good government.
 There seem to be at least two sides to the negro question in the South It Is not to be wondered at, however, that the negroes in the South don't act sen- sibly in politics, if they don't. They

THE URDEN IN ufO4.

The white mans burden is growing heavier in Samoa. The latest news from that disturbed and disturbing place is saddening and ominous. An Anglo American force was ambushed, and its leader, a British officer, was killed. Two American officers were also killed and two British and two American sailors met the same fate. Following the grue- some custom of the country the heads of the officers were cut off by the glee- full savages.
 Meanwhile diplomacy is slowly get ting ready to deal with the situation. It now seems probable that it can be dealt with without a fight between white men, but it is not pleasant. The attitude of the Germans throughout the whole affair hasn't been encouraging. It seems to be fully appreciated by our Admiral Kautz, to whom the German consul wrote asking if two great Chris tian nations approved of the inhuman and barbarous practice of cutting heads off, against the laws of Christianity and the decree of the Supreme court. The Admiral replied, agreeing with the con- sul as to the inhumanity of the prac- tice and pointing out that had the con- sul upheld the decree of the Supreme court of January, there would have been no bloodshed He said that the custom made known to the world ten years ago, when the "heads of honest German sol diers were cut off by the barbarous Chief Mataafa, whom the representative of the great Christian nation, Germany, is now supporting
