Don't Be Impatient,

The evidences of incapacity for i'm
mediate independence now visible will
not alter the principle under which our
government is operating in Cuba, al
though it may necessitate a modifca-
tion of details The Cubans are show
ing the need of a guiding as well as a
restraining hand interposed from with
out. That exhibition has been expected
by all thoughtful students of the Cuban
problem and consequently does not Gre
ate surprise. Owing to the great waste
in the resources of the island and the
dccimatiOn in population which have
resulted from the revolution and which
cannot in the nature of things be re-
paired in less than a generation, the
experiment of turning the government
of Cuba over to the inhabitants OF
Cuba at this time would be a hazard
Gus one even If those inhabitants wera
we'll qualified in point of education and
self-control to begin Immediately the
administration of their own affairs. 1t
might be eXcusable from the standpoint
OF selfishness or of convenience but il
would nevertheless be an evasion of
moral duty. NeighbOrliness and the
promptings OF humanity would both
call for the extension of help while the
process of reconstruction was in pro-
gress.
The fact that fitness for successful
self-rule does not exist yet in Cuba
makes mandatory the part which our
government is now enacting in that
island under the warrant of the proto-
col and treaty with Spain and under
the stll higher sanction of interna-
tional and moral responsibility. But
the fact that this trusteeship is en-
| countering difficulties supplies no war
rant for changing it's ultimate intent
We are committed to the release OF
| Cuba as soon as a stable native gov
| ernment there is an established con-
dition. We have no more right to think

Yankee Workmanship Ahead.

The oldcr which has Just been placed

by III, commissioners Of the French
state railway for tan express plssen-
Ger engines rs ono Of the many recent
proofs Of the superiority of American
over continental machinery and of the
fact that this superiority is rapidly
winning recognition. lt was only a
few weeks ago that the same works
bookod an order for thirty engines for
the Midland Railway company of Eng
land, and similar orders went at about
the same time to two or three other
large American locomotive factories.
Says the Philadelphia Ledger:
Early in 1898 a significant order was
received by the Baldwin works 1t
was from the English war office, and
was for three locomotives of the ordi-
nary passenger type, narrow guage, for
use on the Soudan Military railway.
This was supplemented by call for
the fourth. The order for the first
three was placed on Jan. and the
agreement was that the engines were

which would have given the company
titty-three days on the first three en-
gines ana less than fifty on the fourth.
This was considered a very short time
for the work, yet the locomotives were
practically finished and ready for ship
ment on the lst of February and yere
shipped from the factory Feb, 8, being
held only until the arrival of an En-
glish inspector, in order that he might
look them over. The engines were ship
ped from New York to Alexandria on
the Stalheim much within the specified
time. They were only thirty days in
process of construction. Following this
order came one from the Egyptian gov
ernment railways for twenty-three
freight locomotives. or these, fifteen
were ordered Feb. 2S and were shipped
April 27. Five more were ordered April
