Pay for the Cuban Army.

The three million dollars for distribution
among the officers and men of the Cuban
army will upon its arrival in Havana re-
new in a lively way discussion of the ques-
ton as to the number of those entitled to
share in the benefit. The size of the Cuban
army has been the subject of some dispute
and of some cheap satire. By those who de-
ride the Cubans the number of insurgents
has been placed at very low figure. Three
or four thousand, it has been sneeringly
said is the top notch of liberal estimate.
On the other hand, some estimates go as
high as fifty thousand. AS usual the truth
is likely to be found between the two ex-
tremes.
The anti-Cuban figure is absurd on its
face. No mere handful of men could have
brought Spain to standStill even by the
tactics of bush fighting. There was too
much ground to be covered. and there were
too many corners to be watched. Spain
made no such estimate. She conceded that
the revolt was formidable as to both its
numbers and spirit by the means she EN-
ployed to meet it. She sent large army
to the scene commanded by her best gen.
erals, and she spent large sums of money
on her campaigns in the island. A few ma
rauding bands could not successfully have
resisted sustained efforts by 50 large a
force
Disbursements will be made rolls ap-
proved by General Gomez, and he is the
most competent authority the subject in
the island. He was at all times the leading
military spirit of the Cuban cause, and, al
though commanding in person only a por-
ton o. those in the field, he kept in touch
with his lieutenants elsewhere, and knew
with fair degree of accuracy what they
were doing and the size of the force they
were commanding. There is little likelihood
that. under his supervision, this government
will suffer from imposition in the paying out
of the money.
Excellent results ought to follow this act.
Not only will the money go to those who
have stood for the cause of Cuban independ-
ence but it will find its way into the cham
nels of business where it is most needed.
The Cuban army was recruited largely from
the farming classes, and the return of such
men to the interior, where there are now
so many waste places, with a little stake
in their pockets will be likely to tell in the
early revival of life and industry there.

Mr.. Addicks and the People,

No sooner is Mr.. Addicks defeated in one
senatorial struggle than he announces
the beginning of preparations for another
He certainly does not lack for staying quail
tiles. He will be in the race two years
hence. when. by reason of the failure to
elect senator this year, the Delaware leg
islature will be charged with the duty of
electing two senator's Mr. Addicks will as
pire to one of the places, and meanwhile
will strengthen his machine throughout the
state for the purpose of comprising success
Mr.. Addicks commands no great degree
of admiration anywhere. He is rich and
ambitious and the Senate strikes his fancy
He wants to serve his state and the coun-
try in the highest legislative body in the
land Doubtless he feels himself qualified
to sit there. But the people of Delaware
ought to have an opportunity to pass in
some way on his ambitions. In order. there
fore, that this opportunity may be enjoyed
the claims of Mr.. Addicks should be made
a distinct factor in the campaign when the
next legislature is chosen. He should make
himself, or be made. an issue in that fight
He should offer himself for Endorsement for
senator ut the state convention or in some
other manner submit his case for judgment
at the primaries OF his party. II thus for

mally indorsed for senator he would have
every right to election in the event of re-
publican success at the polls. If rejected at
the primaries it would be his duty to with
draw from the contest then and there, and
permit the battle to proceed under other
colors.
The friends of Mr.. Addcks assert that
he is the most influential and deserving
man in his party in Delaware and owes his
defeats for the Senate to personal malice.
These assertions. however, have brought
Mr.. Addicks no votes at home, nor have
they influenced opinion outside of the state
about the man. Still. the best way to test
the matter would be by giving the people
OF the state an opportunity as suggested TO
PASS directly, or as nearly so possible.
upon his merits. If they really desire him
elected senator they will order it done, and
if he is elected by their order. as little as
the outside world may like 1t. it will not be

is In effect a republic. with the supreme
executive power vested in the King of Swe-
den. Having part in the government of
Sweden and only sharing the attention of
the chief executive. the NorwegianS have
for many years felt that they were neg
Iected and the friction between the two
countries has become steadily greater.
The two are opposed in financial policies.
Norway following the principles of free
trade. while Sweden is a protection country.
Sweden has approximately 5,000o00 people
while Norway has only about 100000. The
Swedish army is considerably larger the
state treasury Is better filed, and in other
directions the people are more seif-reliant
than are those of the western side. The
Norwegians are intensely democratic and
tolerate no hereditary titles of any 6escrp-
ton They have long felt that they were
entitled tG larger share in the interna-
tioral dealings of the united countries. The
diplomatic corps Is jointly accredited to
Sweden and Norway. but the people of the
latter nation claim that they are discrimi-
mated against in all matters affecting the
foreign relations. Various other domestic
issues have arisen to intensity the quarrel
and for some time past the two countries
have been steadily increasing their armed
forces in view of the possibility of clash
Meanwhile the Norwegians have won a
controversy as to national flag and now
possess individual banner
One of the particular causes of Norwegian
complaint is the character of the present
royal regime. Oscar is grandson of Berna-
dotte. who was adopted by Charles XIII of
Sweden as his heir and on the death of that
monarch became king, reigning for twenty
six years Charles XIV. Thus the royal
house is of alien blood, fact which has
always irritated the Norwegans. Now .hat
the unpopular Gustav is in power it is no
wonder that the western Scandinavians
should show their resentment and bring the
old quarrel to a head once more.

Bidding for the Conventions.

The announcement that New York will
be a bidder for the political national con-
Sentions of next year is followed by the
announcement in today's dispatches that
Chicago will be in the market also. An
inducement to be offered by the latter is
new hall of immense proportions, for the
erection of which arrangements have just
been completed. There will, of course, be
other bidders for those large and lucrative
functions. but the contest between the
metropolis of the east and the metropolis
of the west ought alone to make a stir in
the political world
New York awakens from long lethargy
on this score. She has not played host for
a political party in the matter of ma ational
convention for thirty years. Not since 1865
when HOratiO Seymour was nominated by
the democracy. has a presidential candidate
been named there. No very serious effort
has been made since to secure a national
convention The local democracy has con-
tented itself with supplying the party with
a presidential candidate-Greeley in 1872
Tiden in 1876. Hancock, who was practi-
cally a New York man, in 1880, and Cleve-
land in 1884. 1SSS and 1892. The republi-
cans. selecting their candidates. with the
exception OF Mr.. Blaine. from the middle
west, have nominated them in one or an
ether of the cities Of that section.
But it is true that a prejudice has existed
iii both of the leading parties against New
York 1t has sometimes found expression
in reference to the city's great size. But
the franker statement has been fear that
the moneyed interests of Wall street
operating close at hand. might exert too
much influence In the matter OF both the
candidate and the platform. And yet the
most extreme financial deliverance ever
made by a political party. not excepting
even that made at Chicago In 1896 was the
greenback platform upon which Mr. Sey-
mOur stood Wall street did not shape that
and did not like II at all
New York has now an excellent chance to
test her strength. not only as against Chi
cagO. but as against the feeling prevailing
in some quarters that. with all of her
wealth and power and progress. she lacks
something tnat goes to make a typical
American city.

Joseph Medill.

A great. strong influential figure in Amer
can journalism passed away with Joseph
MedilI, even though for some years he had
not been an active factor in newspaper
work. Throughout his whole life he stood
for progress and largely through his energy,
exercised both in the columns of his news
paper and as Il municipal official, Chicago
became one of the most fourishing cities of
the continent The debt which Chicago
owes to him can not well be measured The
debt which the newspaper readers of this
country owe to him is equally large, for his
personality was impressed upon one of the
most influential journals of the time in
manner which made Enthusiastically for good
Mr.. Medill would perhaps have been
larger figure in the national political field
had it not been for his determined inde-
pendence, which ignored partisan demands
at times of stress. He did what seemed to
him to be right, and thus restricted his field
in the sense that he often alienated the
sympathies of those in charge of the polit-
ical machines. But meanwhile he was
striking hammer blows for advancement in
thought and deed His name will be indel-

Journalism one of the men who con-
tributed to its virility, its power, it's intel

Norway and Sweden.

one Of the periodical causes for uneasi-
neSs In Europe is the possibility of rup
ture between Sweden and Norway. That
possibility has once more become imminent
and the daily dispatches indicate growing
tendency on the part Of the Norwegians to
force the issue. The union between the
two countries has now lasted since 1914
with steadily diminishing spirit OF unity
The prospect Of a rupture at this time is
occasioned by the fact that King Oscar II,
having failed in health and decided to seek
recuperatiOn abroad, has turned over the
reins of government temporarily TO his son,
Gustav. as regent Gustav is exceedingly
unpopular in Norway. and a few nights ago
in Christiania, the Norwegian capital he
was hOoted and pelted with snowballs by a
crowd OF people. In addition to this insult
to the king, the Storthing, or Norwegian
legislative body. has in effect put deliber-
ate slight upon him, sixty of its members
having declined an Invitation to dine with
him.
As matter Of fact the Swedish-Norwe-
gian coalition was never a strict union of
the nations. For some time previous Nor
way had been virtually a colony of Dem
mark. that country having gradually as
Sumed dominion over the western side of
the Scandinavian peninsula Under the
N4SOIOus SeHSralSnip OF BeFnadotte a
French military adventurer who had lost
favor with Napoleon, Sweden seized Nor
way from Denmark and made it part of
the national organization, reserving to the
western half of the peninsula governmental
rights which amounted TO practical inde-
pendence- These rights have been some

ing won after long struggle the power of
passing laws over the kings veto. Norway

spain signs the Peace Treaty.

munication on friendly basis. Spain can
then draw upon us for so. 0.0o0.000 the title

have been possible for the United States
10 continue in possession indefinitely under
the protocol. assuming that nothing would
intervene to affect its title as occupant in

been an unwholesOme. denoralizing condi-
ton. bad for the United States. bad for
Spain bad for the world. 1t is fortunate,
therefore. that a short cut has been found
to the signing of the treaty on behalf of
Spain. and that the incident is on the eve
Of being positively and formally closed.
1t has been a most enlightening. import
ant incident 1t has brought the world to
realization of a new power among the ma
tions: 10 a new measurement of a people
who have heretofore been regarded as
solely and exclusively domestic. 1t has
opened to this people a vista of expansion
which has been hailed with delight by them
in general and deprecated by only few
1t has tested anew the valOr of the Amer
lean soldiers has solidified the sections of
the country has exposed dangerous flaws
in the military system, has taught many
valuable lessons, has brought the people to
the brink of decision upon some of the
most momentous problems with which they
have ever been confronted. All of these
results are profitable for the nation. They
tend to strengthen the body polite, to re-
vitaIize the public system, to awaken slum-
bering ideals and to give new yigor to COM
merce and trade.
To Spain have come few blessings, and
those only negative, as result of the con-
test. She loses her colonies, which, under
her corrupt rule, had become temptations
70 her public servants and a constant
%:cnace to her peace. She has lost her
navy which had become obsolete and was
a broken reed. She must dismiss the
greater part of an expensive. inefficient
army. She must. in fact, start practically
anew as nation. stripped of her imperial
adOrnments, reduced to hard terms and
confronted with factions at home.

Chicago Deserves Local sympathy

new post office is being built in Chica-
go. That fact suff1ces to create bond Of
sympathy between the citizens of Washing
ton and those Of the Windy City, for Wash
ington is just now recovering from the
throes of alternating hope and despair
which the process of constructing one of
these public edfices Invariably produces
under present governmental, methods. The
Chicago Record sounds note of appre-
citation thus in a recent issue:
The news that the erection of the iron
work of the new post office building has be-
gun ought to awaken very interesting rem
iniscences among those of the older inhab-
itantS who remember when the new post
office was first planned"
The old Chicago post Office is remembered
as one of the most wasteful expenditures
of the public money ever known. After
costing an enormous sum it had scarcely
been put to regular use before 1t began to
show flaws. Presently the floors sagged
The foundation was giving way. Tests
showed that the great pile had been built
over bed of quicksand. In a few years
the handsome structure was virtually a
wreck the walls showing big cracks, the
floors resembling ocean waves, the whole
place shaking and quivering with the street
vibrations. 1t was old long before it's time
and new building had to be provided
One of the reasons why the post office was
prematurely antiquated was that it took a
very long time to build. The Washington
post office. it is well known, required seven
years to reach a condition permitting par
ual use, and even now, after the seven
years have passed, it is in a sadly incom-
plete state. If the iron work on the new
Chicago building has just begun it is fair
to hl1j hot MI
ernment construction are changed mean
while the Chicagoans will be patronizing
temporary post office quarters for the next
half dozen years at least.
