The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1899-12-02

Senator Shoup of Idaho proposes that
American occupation of Cuba shall con-
tinue until the leading people of the
island shall have had full opportunity
to determine what they desire for the
future.
That is all right, with the addition
"all the people" All should be given
full opportunity to express themselves
after time sufficient has elapsed to en-
able them to fairly understand what a
free governmental system means. Were
a vote taken now, unquestionably 1t
would reflect very largely vague and
very many wholly incorrect views of
what was intended by the freeing OF
Cuba from the domination of Spain. An
exchange insists that when an election
is held it shall be after the last of the
American troops have been with
drawn" By no means. That would
mean the placing of the weak and
strong and calculating, to say nothing
of the class which desires to profit sell
fishly by the new order of things. The
troops we have in Cuba now are very
few in number, not nearly enough to
engage in a conflict with hope of sue
cess should there be a revolt Of any
considerable magnitude. In fact, we
are holding Cuba to-day by moral,
rather than physical force. No fear
need be entertained that American
troops will interfere in any election that
may be held among the Cubans when
the time comes. 1t is somewhat in the
distant future as yet The Cubans are
not as yet prepared to go to the polls
| and vote upon a constitution and decide
upon the form of Government best for
the island and its inhabitants.

Burial of the Parsees.

We referred the other day to the con-
troversy that is going on among the
Parsees about the advisability OF nav
ing a cemetery for burying their dead
instead of exposing them to be de-
voured by birds. which is the ancient
custom. The orthodox are, of course,
violently in favor of the old custom.
and quote their ancient law book called
the Vendidad, which enjoins exposure
and forbids burial We have no de-
sire to enter into the merits of the con-
troversy, but as the Vendidad has been
freely quoted by Parsee priests ana
others, who seem to take a firm stand
upon it's precepts, we may remark that
this ancient code of laws is full OF
strange precepts which are entirely I'M
practicable in these days. The Parsees
themselves have ceased to be guided
by it in nearly every point except this
of the disposal Of the dead and few
others.
The dog, for instance, Is treated in
the Vendidad as ON the same level with
man, and two whole chapters are de-
voted to him. If dog dies, his car
cass, or, rather, we should say, MS
corpse. is to be disposed of with the
same elaborate ritual as that of a man.
If man kills water dog his punish
ment is 10000 stripes with the priest
ly whip. Nay, it is safer to kill a man
than to serve bad food to a shepherd
dog, for the man slayer gets off with
30 stripes, whereas the bad master OF
the dog is a great sinner and will re-
ceive 200 stripes.
Then the Vendidad lays down the law
about the fees to be paid to the doctor
for healing the sick, and the present
day Parsee, If he is consistent, ought
to follow the following scale laid down
in Chapter VII: "a healer shall heal
a priest for a holy blessing ne shall
heal the master of a house for the value
Of an OK of low value; he shall heal the
lord of borough for the value OF an
OK of average value; he shall heal the
