Havana, March Ii. = The Cuban as
sembly will to-day issue a manifesto
declaring that it is the only representa-
tive body in Cuba: that Gen. Gomez is
attempting, with the aid of the United
States. to make himself distator, and
that, as a general proposition, the
United States has no right to interfere
with the domestic affairs of the island.
This is the last development in the Sit
uation. The feeling is that the presi-
dents decision to suppress the assem-
bly, will lead to a conflict between the
American administration and the Gu
bans in arms.

THE women of Louisville have had
the courage to protest against the
growing use of the half draped figure
in magazine advertising. This was
sure to come sooner or later. The
enterprising corset maker and deviser
of tight fitting underwear, the hair
restorer and the aesthetic shoemaker
have pushed the human form divine
to the very edge of propriety. 1t is
well known that for some time past
certain people have been buying the
magazines for the vivacious advertise
ments which make up so large pro-
portion of their illustrated literature.
They really present us with a pro-
cession of women in all conditions of
attire, whose main purpose is to ex-
hibit as much as possible of their
limbs. The worst of it is these
pictures are photographs. and women
all oyer the country consent to stand
for them in every conceivable shape
without covering their faces.

The platform of the Maryland Dem
ocrats, adopted by the State Conven-
ton at Baltimore, recalls more yividly
than any recent deliverance the sort
of resolutions which the Copperheads
used to promulgate when they met
from time to time in the name of
Democracy during the war for the
Union.
Here we have again all those once
familiar articles of cunning partially
restrained by political cowardice:
Solicitude about the freedom of the
press as if it were III danger.
Affected Indignation over purely
military and absolutely necessary and
wholly legitimate measures of censor
ship.
Frantic sympathy for somebody.
apparently the semi-comic Edward
Atkinson, as the victim of "a deadly
blow aimed at American libertv'' by
the suppression of the free utterance
of reasonable sentiments.
Pretended apprehension of the
overthrow of our institutions by a
large standing army.
Alarm about the trusts.
And not one word about the prin-
cipal issue which the Democracy has
in keeping, the unlimited coinage of
dishonest dollar.
Although away down out of sight
at present, the Hon. Arthur p. Cor
man is manifestly in control of his
party in his State. Every resolution
of the platform is characteristic of his
peculiar genius. He has drawn the
Maryland Democracy into his tunnel.
He is going to try to pull the national
party into the hole which he has so
industriously eXcavated.
He will not succeed. In Maryland
his platform of Copperheadism and
cowardice ought to make it pretty
easy for the Republicans to carry the
State,-New York Sun. DEM

The Democratic party in the State
this year is fighting for nothing ex-
cept the rehabilitation of the ring 1t
makes no pretense of having any
other purpose in view The State
convention revealed that by the plat
form adopted. The party has been
prostituted to the purpose of restor-
ing a, p. German tOpower. Nothing
else is even proposed. The State con-
vention was the easiest part of it,.
Men were found who would serve and
were chosen for their vote catching
ability. Now trouble has arisen.
The part of the plan was to nominate
only such men for the legislature as
could be depended upon to obey
orders when the word would be pass
ed along the line. The primaries
We're conducted with that idea in
view. but now the leaders find that
the people will not take the full dose
as first contemplated. The conven-
lions nave Deell called OIL while the
leaders scurry around to find men
who Will catch votes like the State
nominees and at the same time the
energies Of the leaders are devoted to
getting the men who put up their
money to withdraw because they are
not good enough to run. OF course
the small machine men don't like to
be told that they are not good
enough or fit TO go on the ticket. ="
They resent the imputation and there
is where the ring is experiencing
trouble. 1t would like to name these
men but dare not. If it don't these
men may inquire why. In the mean
time the Democratic conventions are
subject to still further delay.

Being honest and straightforward in
his dealings, he is likewise absolutely
fearless. He is a sturdy fighter, fast
friend, a magnanimOus foe. At times
he is too outspoken in his views to
suit some people, but the fault, if any,
proceeds from an honest conviction.
Convince him that the position he has
taken is wrong and he will quickly
recede and give you the credit. Show
to him that what you advocate is
legitimate and just and he will be
with you with all his might. Should
he discover any trickery or dishonest
motive underlying it you will lose his
trust in you for all time. He is a
wonderful organizer, and a man of
resources. His political opponents
have found in him foeman worthy
of their steel He, likewise, has the
faculty of never knowing when he is
whipped. Defeat only stirs him on
to renewed effort, and just at the
time his political foes fondly imagine
that he is downed forever he comes
smilingly to the top.

Hon. George L. WelIington.

QUiW and Scissors, a weekly pub
lished in Washington, ID. c., in giving
a biographical sketch of the life of
Hon. George i, Wellington from the
cradle to his induction into the office
of Senator Of the United States from
Maryland, closes the article with the
following;
He is man of tireless energy and
indomitable will. The writer has
known him to work all day i'll the
bank, go to a neiShboring town after
banking hours, deliver a speech there,
thence be driven to another town,
where another speech would be made,
and then be carried to Oakland in
order to catch the midnight train.
Notwithstanding all this he would be
at his post in the bank at the opening
hour and continue at work all the
day. In October in the mountains
the night air is very cold, and some
times the drives were made during q
drilling rain storm. Often he would
be wet through to the skin, and in
consequence his health came near to
the breaking point. For months at
one time he was compelled to wear a
sponge saturated with medicine over
his mouth and under his nostrils.
