MIR. MacVeagh on the Inevitable.

An address on Inevitable National Ex-
pansion," delivered in Chicago several
months g by the Hon. FRANKLIN MAC
VEAGH. has just reached us in pamphlet
form. We believe that Mr.. MAcVEAGH was
originally opposed to the retention of the
Philippines, or at least OF all the islands.
Yet who has put into palmer language the
American spirit Of to-day and the forces
now moving this nation? We quote from
Mr.. MACVEAGH's address:
ut 10 on all accounts inevitable that we can never
again treat ourselves as an isolated people. A peo-
pie with q Monroe doctrine never intended to be iso.
lated anyway, but the war with Spain would have
crossed the Rubicon IL there had been q Rubicon left
TO cross. Henceforth 1t ia 1 inevitable that we shall BIO
q real part of the great world. regularly taken into
account by our fellow nations. and regularly taking
our fellow nations into account.
This does not mean. as some wise and good
Americans fear. the deterioration OF the national
character. II l spoke my whole mind I should say
IL meant Q new exaltation OF the national character.
1t does not mean that We are moro in favor Of war
and less devoted to peace than we were. 1t does not
mean that we shall not always BIO the greatest advo-
cate Of peace. 1t does not mean that We do not be-
lieve as firmly a. ever in arbitration. 1t does not
mean that we shall become imperialistic. or have an
Unsuitable hunger for more territory. 1t docs not
mean that we shall become an aggressive, bullying,
quarrelsome nation. II does not mean that we shall
become reckless instead Of conservative. 1t does not
mean that We shall lose our gift of governing, or
sink into public corruption; for extending tho
thought Of the nation to take in the world will not
make us less aware OF our shortcomings or less com
petent ~ correct them. Certainly mono OF these
dreaded things is inevitable.
But 1t is inevitable that henceforth foreign terri
tory will not be alien and impossible to our national
policy. That far the inevitable has progressed. And
tits also inevitable that our national horizon 10 per.
manently enlarged. Our outlook uSAn the world 10
. new outlook, and it can never be contracted to the
limitations of q few short months ago.
This sane, hopeful, patriotic view of the
nations future comes from a gentleman
whom some Of the anti-expansionists and
pessimists Of the Boston school would re-
Gently have claimed as a colleague. But he
is not OF their sort. And they will not circu-
late among the literature they are issuing
the address from which we have quoted.

The Cuban Disbandment.

The report OF Senior HEvIA and Sehor
VILLALoN, the Cuban Assembly's delegates
to Washington. showed conclusively that
they received from our Government some
thing like an ultimatum. The Administra-
ton refused absolutely to go beyond the
49, 600, 900 offered by it toward paying the
Cuban troops, or to authorize the Assem-
bly, to contract a loan in order to in
crease the amount. But the failure OF the
mission caused no indignant outburst,
when announced, possibly because the re-
suit was fully known beforehand and it
only remained to vote upon the resolution
for disbanding the army, with leave to ac-
cept the proposals Of payment from the
United States. This was done. The mus
ter rolls, which Gen. ToRTUoNpo had orig
inally refused to surrender to Gen. BROOKE,
will now be copied for the use OF the latter,
and the work OF payment can go on.
The result thus reached is q vindication
OF the course OF Gen. GOMEZ and is also
promising for Cuba's future. 1t is reason-
able to expect no further trouble from any
part or faction of the military element.
The troops will melt back into the gen.
eral body Of citizens. The way is now
open for a full restoration, under the auspi-
ces OF our Government, OF the conditions Of
peace, order and prosperity in Cuba.

The Hours Of Drug Clerks.

By a vote OF 90 to 26 the Assembly has
passed the bill restricting the hours of labor
OF the clerks Of pharmacists and druggists
in this town to twelve hours on SATURDAYS,
six hours on Sundays, and ten hours on
other days. In moving to recommit the
bill, Mr.. HENRY asserted that it was op-
posed by nine-tenths Of the drug clerks.
and that not a single drug clerk had ap-
peared before the committee to favor the
bill. Thu supporters OF the measure lamely
retorted that while the drug clerks had not
appeared in person, they had been repre-
scented by labor organizations to which
they belonged.
We venture to say that among the drug
clerks of thist town, a class Of men as in.
dustrious and as ambitious as other men
are, and, as a rule, intelligent beyond the
average, there are very many who do
object to and resent this attempt OF the
Legislature to interfere with their business
and diminish their wages. For II the bill
becomes n law, and the law is enforced,
their wages must be reduced as their hours
Of labor are diminished. II those hours
are too long, they have tho privilege OF
American citizens to seek Other employ
ment, but they do not need to he protected
by the State or to have their days work
fixed by it rs If they were children or
feeble-minded. The fact that some of them
put up prescriptions and sell medicines
gives no ground for the interference OF the
State. The negligent labor Of q SHOEMAKER

Theatre Programme Reform,

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sfr: have not

the other cities of this broad land of ours, but /
have yet to see one in New York. from the best house
to the cheapest, in which the cast Of characters Ia

or Programme continued on next" or whatever
page 1t may be continued on. even to the last page.

ask THE Sun why the programme editors or the the
atre managers don't suggest that on the last page
but ono the word continued should be written
concluded - Isn't the cast concluded there, or is
iH It stops just the same. which isn't what any
thing does when it continues. I don't know how
Boston Is on this question because don't know
Boston programmes. but l do know that tho Ma.
tional Theatre in Washington has seen the error OF
its ways and no longer continues its programme
after 1t has stopped. Tho dear old manager Of an
other theatre in that town on one occasion when I
called his attention to his programme replied that
it must be correct to have it that way or all the the.
atres wouldn't do it. and he refused to permit any
change. may be mistaken in this matter and do

ADVICE TO sTENooRAPHERS.
Intended to Facilitate Professional Oper
ntions Mt the Dollar Dinners.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Since all
doubt has been removed concerning the ap-
pearance Of Mr.. ". j.. Bryan at the 81 dinners.
and no stone is to be left unturned by the respec-
tive promoters in their endeavor to make tho
events memorable. perhaps a word or two
should be addressed to the faithful corps Of
shorthand writers who will be expected to re-
cord the orators remarks. The following adj
vice is not given through any fear Of the ste
nographers' competency. but rather to fore
warn them to simplify their work. and TO eau
ton them against provoking inadvertently the
displeasure OF their employers.
The words Chicago platform SHOULD be de-
tached and written either above or below the
line: when used together they cannot consist-
emily be placed on the level. Monopoly" ia a
long word and may or may not be written in
full. It's formation should depend upon
whether q full or an abbreviated outline would
be more representative of the speaker. "Octo-
pus' should not be abbreviated under any
circumstances The word Is not big enough
anyway to convey all that it will BIO meant to
signify. Free silver" should be vocaliZed.
Sixteen stenographers omit the vowels for
every one that uses them; but an error in
transcribing the words might cause grief.
Anti-expansion' should be written in q
cramped hand. In that way II will be more
easily identified; and. besides. the term is Of
too little consequence Just now to occupy much
space. Imperialism" is a long and homeiy-
looking word, and twill be dangerous to
monkey with II. II the reporter ia in doubt as
70 the l~eRibility Of his outline. 1t will be wise
Tor him to accompany it with a pen sketch Of a
monarch. say Of Emperor William or OF Rameses
II. Pen and ink fourishes should be eschewed.
Even the suggestion of the word flourish" ia
repellent to a Bryanite. and the word itself has
no place In his vocabulary.
Almost all stenographic text books recon-
mend Joining In a single shorthand outline the
words OF simple. and frequently recurring
phrases, such,as IT will be" we may be-,
in writing; but ,'phrasinR' - cannot consistently
be tolerated at the dollar dinners. The union
or consolidation. even of words. Ia ~ptu-
Gus in the eyes Of Bryanites when practiced
Without q special permit. It will be %prefera-
BILE to let grammalogues stand alone, whether
or not some OF the diners are able to do 40.
II the scribes will adopt the foregoing sug-
Restions and then take the preoaution to sup
ply all OF the Populist newspapers with dupii-
cate copies OF their reports. they are not likely
to- receive adverse criticism. T.

a common average depth Of only % feet, al
though In some places much deeper, It will
be seen that the work On them is compare
BILE In character TO that on the East Chan
mel, although the cost will be less.
The work on the Bay Ridge and Red
Hook channels will begin this summer, as
suming that contracts are made; but it
seems doubtful whether much will be done
on the East Channel during the present
year beyond the preparation OF the dredges,
steamboats, and other appliances. The plans
OF Major ADAMS contemplate ak years as
the period for completing the improvement.
