THE PEOPLE AND THEIR AGENT.

Business is better, men say, but do not often
think Of the resulting change in the spirit and
purpose OF the people. When they do con-
slider. all know that the attachment Of free
citizens for their Government is stronger and
surer when they realize personal benefits from
its wisdom and Judgment. Nor is II in the
least 8 discreditable thing that seventy mill
ions Of free people desire their Government
to promote their prosperity. 1t is their agent
They create 1t, pay its expenses. uphold it BY
their arms and if IT can help their employment
or wages, their domestic or foreign markets
have they not the right to expect It's helpY
Not In injustice nor in foolishness, not In man.
ufacturing prices by combination with Russia
and Argentina to corner wheat, as a Russian
Ambassador Is said TO have proposed years ago:
not In trying to fix wages without regard 10
trade conditions in this or that occupation
which no Government has power TO do But
in many ways Government can provide the
conditions which, with free action Of all forces
of civilized society. make wages better en-
ployment more steady and full profits larger
and business In every respect more satisfac-
tory. When Government does this II takes
many thousands out of the ranks Of the discon.
tented, gives new sense Of loyal attachment
even 10 those who would al any time risk their
lives In behalf Of the Nation. and strengthens
more than many realize the regard for free IN
stitutions.
The Government has gained great results for
the people within the last two years. They
profoundly aware that It's policy has helped
them beyond calculation, and the popular ap-
probation which results has been felt in past
and will be felt in future elections. The change
is one which will not be instantly forgotten
when any trial comes. The people have the
right TO hope for prosperity from their Govern
ment only on condition that they shall give In
telligent appreciation and support. They cam
not expect the highest prosperity when events
in other countries are producing widespread
disaster. They cannot count upon good times
when bad times everywhere else cause reckless
selling OF products. They can only hope at
such times for the measure Of defence against
foreign disasters which protection for home
industries gives, and which the Democratic
policy under Mr.. Cleveland's Adminstra ton did
not give. Nor can they force up prices so far
as TO kill a profitable foreign trade. for exam
ple and yet enjoy the benefits Of that trade
That is something which may well be consd
cred in these times by those who are reckoning
what can be realized in the shortest possible
time from markets extraordinarily favorable
TO the sellers. II they seize the opportunity to
make the utmost out Of such conditions. by
combinations or otherwise, they may easily put
away and beyond their reach for years to
come part Of the advantage which a wise Ma
tlonal policy has gained for them. They will
have no cause to complain Of their Government

THE CUBAN GENERALS.

There were three major-generals and six
brigadier- generals needed for the entire United
States Army before the war with Spain, not
counting ten staff officers clothed with the rank
of general. But against these nineteen AT the
utmost, il appears that twenty-four Cuban gen
erals have been dismissed from the service by
the rest because Of their personal hostility TO
General Gomez. AS the rest must have been
a majority. 1t would appear that little Cuban
army. which could hardly put a thousand men
in line at any point. and which, according TO
official accounts. included only about thirteen
thousand men of all sorts. needed more than
fifty generals 1t is notorious too. that the
superabundance Of colonels and other officers
Of rank was equally great The number who
have been added since there was prospect Of
a largess by the United States has been great,
presumably more than the number ever actual
ly in arms. as the number of men on the rolls
has been more than doubled. Claims for several
thousand dollars apiece Of back pay might be
expected TO increase faster than claims for a
few hundred dollars apiece for privates
General Brooke is reported to be so dsgusted
with the failure or refusal Of Cuban generals
