.DoN,T NAG THE sERvANTs.r

Prof Mary Roberts Smith. Of Leland
Stanford University gave gathering Of
New York women the other day a talk full
OF good, common sense on the servant
question She said she proposed 10 tell
them how to keep a treasure" the treas
ure in question being, of course, capable
and satisfactory servant. One fundamen-
tai rule which she laid down, and insisted
must be followed. was, Don't nag the SER

owe TO domestic help and these must be
observed, or it cannot reasonably be ex-
pected that the best results will be obtain
ed. Prof Smith had no hesitation in say
ing that the greater part of the friction
between mistresses and servants was
caused by the mistresses. The lazy mis-
tress is responsible for more than the lazy
servant" she said And the lazy mistress
is the most exacting, exasperating of all
employers.
Too many mistresses apparently forget
that their domestic help have sensibii-
ties They scold, and find fault upon all
possible occasions, and often make the oc-
scolding ard fault finding actually ex-
lists. The domestic, especially if she is a
white girl, is made to feel perpetually that
she is a mental; that her employment is
of a degraded sort, and then she herself is
entitled to no consideration except the
wages which she draws And that IS
why so few white girls go out to

CUBANs AND THE RATIoNs.

The announcement made to the Cubans
a few days ago that in future rations dis
tributed 10 The poor of the island will he
charged up against the customs receipts
of the province in which the rations are
distributed will not cause the Cubans TO
be any less clamorous in their demands
for food. Those who want to live at the
expense of our government don't care how
large a debt Is saddled upon the island.
They never expect to get any part of the
receipts, and hence they are not concerned
about them in any way.
And it is doubtful if there is any consid-
cradle number of Cubans who are sufH-
GENTLY patriotic to care much about the
matter one way or the other The basis
for this statement is found in the efforts
of the Cuban assembly to borrow money
at a ruinous rate of interest for distribu-
ton among the officers and privates of the
army, instead of being content with the
$3,0O0,OOO offered by the United States
1t is necessary probably for our govern
ment to help the poor of the island to
some extent, but 1t is a question If the
island would not recover its prosperity
much faster if the people were compelled
to find ways fer supporting themselves. If
reports received from Cuba are to be re-
lied upon very few of the natives will
make an effort to help themselves as long
as they can get rations from our govern
ment
Rations of the value of hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been given to
the Cuban people, but it is doubtful
whether they have any appreciation of
our generosity If we should suddenly
STOP distributing food 10 them we would,
in all probability, be looked upon, and
even treated, as enemies. The Cuban prob
lem has not been solved yet. 1t is ques-
ton whether it will be solved without
overcoming many difficulties. the great
ness of which is not yet fully understood.

AN OPENING ron TRoUpLE.

In commenting, the other day, upon Mr.
Bryan's peculiar answer to the invitation
of the Democratic Club of New York to
attend its dinner on April 10, the ami
versary of the birthday of Thomas JEFF
ferson, we were not aware that Mr.. Bryan
had an invitation from another Democratic
organization in New York city to a din
ner on the same date. The fact that he
had such an invitation was not very gen.
cepted an invitation from New York city
Democrats who supported the Chicago
platform in 1896. The dinner they pro-
pose 10 give will cost only one silver
dollar a plate, and, therefore will be con-
spicuous for its Jeffersonian simplicity
The Democratic Club dinner will cost ten
dollars a plate, but even that price will
not permit of a sumptuous feast The in
teresting question in connection with these
two dinners is, What effect will Col. Bry-
ans acceptance of the invitation of the
out-and-out silver Democrats have upon
the Democratic party of New York?
At the outset it was proposed that the
dinner of the Democratic Club should be
national affair-and Il was even limited
that an effort would be made at the din
ner to put silver in the BACKGROUND as
an issue in 1900, and push other issues to
the front. Ii now looks as if the din
ner, instead of being the means of lifting
Tammany to the front in national affairs,
would be a failure. The refusal of Mr.
Bryan to accept an invitation to attend
it and the disposition of other prominent
Democrats TO remain away from 1t have
given II a black eye and nothing that Mr.
Croker can say in its behalf is sufficient
to destroy the impression that the giving
of the dinner was a mistake.
1t Is expected that the labor element of
the Democratic party of New York will
be conspicuously in evidence at the dollar
dinner That element controls a great
many votes. 1t may turn out that Tam
many will not be able to control the state
convention, which will nominate delegates
to the next Democratic national conven-
ton. There appears to be ground for
thinking that a great effort will be made
to wrest the control of the party in the
state from Tammany. If the silver DEM
ocrats get control of IL the Democratic
leaders will not care much whether Tam
many faVors the 16 TO | idea or not

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun Oem) while proper
w condemning in unmeasured terms the
recent lynching in this state, cannot see
a great deal of difference, from moral
standpoint between that affair and the
shooting of Filipinos in their islands. 1t
saws: In the sight of the righteous and
merciful Majesty of Heaven what differ
ence Is there in the moral quality of muir
der when committed by individuals and
when committed by a government? What
difference is there in His sight between
the retail lynching committed by mob
and the wholesale lynching committed by
a nation? Condemn the Palmetto lynch
ing as strongly as 1t deserves, but let
those who do so not undertake to defend
the systematic military lynching that is
going on in the Philippines. The Ameri-
can people are not to be deceived by cant
phrases designed to cover bloody and un-
righteous deeds. The Georgia mob have as
much right to plead duty and destiny
in their defense as the administration has
In defense of it's slaughter of the F'ilipi-
nos Their must and will be a solemn ac-
counting for all murder, national as well
as individual and the time will come
when those who have been guilty of either
the one or the other will receive the con-
demnation they deserve"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says:
President Mckinley has gone to Thomas
Vile. Ca. to get needed rest; and he Is
getting IL. The people of that town have
not tried to shake hands with him, to
pump speeches out of him, nor to lionize
him. In order to let Mr.. Mckinley know
that they were aware of his presence
among them they permitted the children
to carry Mrs, Mckinley some violets. To
our mind no President ever had more
kindly welcome anywhere, upon any &C.
casion."
The New Orleans States Dem.) is
alarmed 1t says; "The recent organiza-
ton of gigantic trusts controlling billions
Of dollars indicates that the Man on
Horseback" who is to trample under foot
the most cherished institutions of the re-
public is about to take charge of the gov
eminent and his name is Gen. Money"
The New York Sun (Rep) thus pointed
ly comments on the lynching at Palmet-
to: 1.-THE people of Georgia must see to
It that the atrocity of yesterday doesn't
so without atonement."

WIDOWS AND THEIR PENSIONS.

The impression appears to have got
abroad in some sections of the country
that the last Congress ordered the
names of widows stricken from the pen
sion rolls, and consequently there is a
good deal of fiutter among those widows
who are helped along by Uncle Sans gem
erosity. The widows, however, haven't lost
of losing them. There are many of them
doubtless who are not justly entitled to
what they receive from the government,
but the probabilities are that the difficult
ties in the way of finding out who are and
who are not getting their pensions honest
ly are so great that the government viii
never undertake to discover the fraudulent
pensioners among the widows.
What the last Congress did was this 1t
enacted a law that women who marry old
soldiers shall not have pensions as SOL
diers' widows when they become widows.
This is a law that should have been en-
acted many years ago. There are now
thousands of comparatively young widows
drawing pensions. Many of them were not
born at the close of the war of secession
They did not marry for love, but for the
pension which the government, until the
enactment of the recent law, allowed to
the widow of soldier. There are widows
now drawing pensions whose husbands
were soldiers in the war of the Revolution
If stop had not been put to the business
of marrying old soldiers by young girls
for the sake of getting pensions, a very
large part of the pension burden would
have been carried beyond the middle of
the next century,

The past few days have witnessed a most
exceptional exchange of good wish
es and good feelings between the
Jewish and the Christian religions.
Al the celebration Of the eight
ieth birthday Of Rabbi Wise in Gin
cinnati on last Tuesday a Methodist min
lister made a eulogistic speech and pre-
scented resolutions adopted unanimously by
the Methodist ministers of that city, ex-
tolling the career of Dr. Wise and his ser
vices to universal brotherhood and rei-
gion. On Friday a new synagogue, or
temple" was dedicated in Chicago, and
during the service DR.. Wise made an ad-
dress in which he spoke for the universal
brotherhood. This evening in the new syn
agogue. there will be held a fellowship
meeting, in which Jewish rabbis and min
listers of the Methodist, Presbyterian, Uni
tartan and Universaiist faiths will partic-
ipate. These creeds, usually, are far apart;
but they come together to-day with a
common purpose Of worshiping God and
planning for the betterment of man.
