The Advice of Gen. Gomez.

1t seems strange that the most conserva-
tive influence among the Cubans today
should he that of the man who led the re-
volt against Spain. And yet such is the
case. General Gomez is constantly discour-
aging passion and resentment and advocat-
ing patience, fraternity. and faith in the
promises of the United States 1t is ex-
planned. of course, by the fact that he
knows the situation thoroughly; that ex-
perienCe has taught him the value and the
necessity of patience. Having helped to
tear down an Objectionable form of gov
ernment, he has a very clear idea of ,he
number Of abuses to be corrected in the
construction of new form. and realizes
that the task is not that of q day or a
month.
The most impatient men in Cuba today
the ones who want everything settled in
jiffy-are those who contributed either little
toward the revolution nothing at all.
There are men there who never raised their
voices against Spanish abuses, who seemed,
indeed. to thrive on them; who We're pa
tienCe itself while Spain was robbing and
expressing the people, but who. now that
Spanish authority by the act of others has
been destroyed, are jumping up and down
like spoilt children hurrying the division of
a loaf and the spreading on of the jam.
One might suppose from their antics and
their outCries that they are the only people
in the island entitled to consideration.
The task of the United States in Cuba IS
in every way difficult. Nor will the difficult
ties be Hghteued or their execution hastened
by frantic demands of self-seekers and CO.
tertes of schemers. Safeguarding the
United States and melting resistance to its
authority viii cure nothing. avail nothing
We have undoubtedly made some mistakes
in Cuba, and inevitably must make more.
We have never pretended to be miracle
workers. We are clearing out a foul nest,
and in the nature of things some of the
work is slow. But We are making progress,
and in good time-an the sooner if the Gu
bans. as General Gomez advises, will bear
willing hand-Cuba will stand forth in the
pride Of Il government which, in its COM
pleteness and effectiveness, will benefit all
who may live under it.

Mexico and Silver.
From the New York Tribune.

Mexico has grown rich under her silver
standard not because Of but in spite of it.
the root of her prosperity being good gov
ernment, wise economic and commercial ar
rangements, good faith with the public
creditors, hospitality to foreign capital and
enterprise and Intelligent and systematic
encouragement of her home industries In
these conditions 1t would have taken a cur
rency of Chinese cash or Laccadive cowries
to prevent her prosperity. Her silver
standard. while a detriment to her, could
not benumb her productive activities. But
she wants a gold standard, feeling herself
entitled to be up to the level of the most
solvent states. and the signs are that she
will get it without any great delay.

Making Good His Promise.
From the Chicago News.

Andrew Carnegie is making pretty good
progress In his new work of distributing his
wealth. Since issuing his declaration of de-
voting the remainder of his days to doing
what good he can with his money he has
given away over half a million, including
$4,000 to an English college. The other
day ne gave Fort Worth SjOOeO for a new
public library building, and has followed
this up by the offer of similar sum to San
Diego, Cal, for library providing a site is
donated and the library maintained as at
present. No one expects the Scotch-Ameri-
can philanthropist to work overtime in his
new vocation, but 1t is pleasant to note that
Evening star., 1899-08-11

Every year about $50, 600 900 is spent in
this country in the repairing of mud roads,
The money is expended to no purpose. but
the farmers keep on paying it out, while
refusing to contribute a larger sum which,
if judiciously expended, would give them
permanent roads, which it would cost but
a trifie to keep in perfect condition. Then
they would not have to keep as many
horses as they do now. There would be
less wear and tear of horses, harness and
wagons. The farmers would be able to get
their products to market at all times, while
it happens now often that they cannot
market those products when prices are
highest, because of impossible roads. The
taxes which bear hardest on the farmers
are those they unthinkingly impose upon
themselves.

There's a bug in the tree with a harsh,
high note.
Who tells of the fierce long heat;
'Tis heartess sorg that he sets afioat.
Its burden is far from sweet
And you bravely strive to forget the pain
And the sun that is blazing free
But you strive in vain 'gainst the shrill re-
frain
OF the bug in the maple tree
There is many an hour that might still be
fair
For some faltering toilworn friend
In spite of the care that he has to bear
And the sorrow that will not end
Were it not for some babbling and thought
less one
Who prattles with gossip glee
And from sun to sun let's his chatter run,
Like the bug i'll the maple tree.

4 Blundering Remedy.

Since the people Of Cleveland have re-
fused to sustain the striking street rail-
way employees by a general application OF
the boycott in ordinary business transac-
uOns the labor troubles in that city have
become less threatening. The troops are
Withdrawing, and the civil authority again
holds sway. After all the money lost In
wages and property destroyed, and all the
suffering inflicted upon parties not directly
interested, it is a pity that nothing OF
value has been determined. Strikes are
costly even to the winners; and strikers
are so seldom winners that the wonder is
that such blundering remedy should be
perSistently tried.

A Future Calam nifty.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

There will come a day when the world
will be birdless and then the pest of insects,
big and little. will begin. Whether the wo-
men who used some of the 100000 birds
that were killed in Venezuela last year to
secure feathers for hats and bonnets ever
think of this We do not know, but they
should think of it. II the craze for tips
and wings that are now used for head
gear keeps up the pretty feathered crea-
lures will be totally destroyed in this coun-
try, and in the South American countries,
too. OF course, this is a long look ahead,
but 1t is nevertheless a sure outlook.
