GoMEz,s POPULARITY.

Gen. Gomez has been received with all
the marks of respect and manifestations
of joy that he could reasonably hope for.
Indeed so great have been the attentions,
and honors showered on him that he re-
marked day or two ago that his popu-
larity promised 10 be the death of him.
The American officials have been careful
to show him all the respect to which his
rank entities him. If he is not satisfied
with their treatment it is impossible to
satisfy him. But the leading Cubans, as
far as We have been able to observe, are
not at all grateful to the American people
for freeing them from the yoke of Spain.
II is reported from the province of Santi-
ago that there is talk there to the effect
that the Cubans viii revolt if the Ameri-
cans are not out of the island by next July.
There is no doubt that many, if not the
great majority, of the leading Cubans
want US 10 get out of the island. They
are afraid apparently that they will be de-
prived of the chance of setting up such a
government as they desire and filing the
offices. There are as yet few signs of
gratitude on the part of the better class of
Cubans for what we have done for the
Cuban people. The fact that we are now
feeding thousands of them, free of charge.
counts for nothing apparently, in their es-
timaton Having got rid of the Spaniards
they now want to get rid of us The date
of our departure is not fixed, however,
and will not be in all probability, until it
is certain that Cuba has a government
that will insure her prosperity and make it
certain that she will not soon again be a
source of annoyance to us.

The Javanese .Emperor.v


In order to give to the natives the iIu-
sion of autonomy the Dutch do not con-
tent themselves with leaving their re-
gents, their welcomes, their village chiefs.
they even leave them their Emperor. The
territory of the vorstenlanden prince s
lands, this central province which Oc-
cupies the fifteenth part of Java, forms
a little empire, the last remains of the
kingdom of Mataram- This territory is
divided between two princes, the soesoe-
hoenan and the Sultan; the former lives
at Solo or Sourakarta and the latter lives
at Djokjokata. These two capitals are
still the centers of Javanese life, and
there one can best get an idea of what
Java must have been in the past.
The present Emperor and Sultan are the
descendants of these two Princes. The
Emperor has the title of soesoehoenan,
which means his hIghness;" he also has
the title of "elove of the world" com
mander of the army" servant of the
merciful" master of culture" and reg
ulator of religion" He is regarded as the
elder brother" of the Sultan. This is a
rather typical example of the skilful man.
agement of the Dutch.
In compensation for the concessions of
authority and territory, the Emperor and
the Sultan received large pecuniary indem-

HOUSES OF GLASS.

The old proverb warning persons who live
in glass houses against throwing stones
seems about TO be robbed of its point
The modern glass house is proof against
stones, or almost anything else short of ar
tillery. Glass as a building material prom
ises TO come into use both in Europe and
this country. Glass tiles have been in use
in both countries for a number of years.
but recently in Europe, according to the
report of one of our consuls, not only
roofs and windows are being contracted
of glass. but walls as well. The building
glass which he describes is 'vitrihed and
opaque" 1t is prepared in large blocks
like building stone. Ii is not brittle, like
the ordinary glass of commerce, but will
sustain an enormous crushing weight. 1t
is non-corrosive; it is not effected by heat,
cold or moisture, and is therefore practi-
cally indestrucuble. A well built glass
house, therefore, is a structure which prac-
tically defies the ravages of time. A Pitts
burg newspaper says that the glass makers
of that city are prepared to duplicate the
building glass that is being produced in
Europe
Opaque glass, however, wiz not realize
the highest ideal of sanitarians as a build
ing material. They look forward to the
time when houses will be built of trans
lucent glass, which will admit the sun
shine and light when the windows are
closed, while keeping out the cold and
damp. In a house constructed of such ma
terial, they say, there would be small
opportunity for the Judgement and breed
ing Of disease germs; provided of course,
cleanliness were practiced.
When we note the richness of the STAIN
ed glass windows that have become so pop
ular during the past few years for the or
namentation. of private residences, 1t can
readily be conceived that, with translu-
cent glass as a building material, and
colored and stained glass for decorat ton.
some exquisitely beautiful effects in in
terror architecture could be secured. II
we are approaching an era of glass houses.
we shall probably see house building be-
come more a fine art than ever before.
while our rich people will dwell in resi-
dences of such beauty of coloring as was
never heretofore dreamed of.

WHY THE OREGON WAS CALLED

There does not seem 10 be any doubt
that the reason Admiral Dewey called for
the oregon was the arrival at Manila of
the first-class German warship Kalserin
Augusta, and the talk that European Pow
ers would land troops at that place under
the pretext OF protecting their subjects.
The German government has said, all
along, that it had no intention of interfer-
ing at\Manila, and it says the same thing
now, but the actions Of the German offl-
Gals there have been Of such a character
ever since the destruction of the Spanish
fleet by Admiral Dewey as to excite the
suspicion that their protestations of friend
illness are not made in good faith 1t is
known that Admiral Dewey, on one oc-
casion, sent a peremptory message to the
commander Of the German feet. 1t seems
curious that the Germans at Manila should
act as II they were in sympathy with the
insurgents while the German government
is all the while expressing friendship
for us.
1t is expected that the Oregon will reach
Manila about March 3. Admiral Dewey
win then have quite a formidable fleet.
1t will consist of the battleship Oregon,
the double-turreted monitors MonadnoclS
and Monterey, the protected cruisers Bal

Charleston and the gunboats Bennington.

town and Princeton. Besides the forego-
ing he has those of the Spanish cruisers
and gunboats which have been raised and
repaired.
Gen. Otis has about $4,000 troops, and
reinforcements are on the way to him.
With such a fleet and army it is hardly
probable that Germany or any other
Power will undertake to prevent US in
carrying out our purposes in the Philip
pines.

ROOSEVELT AND THE POLITICIANS.

Gov. Roosevelt appears to be getting
along very well with the politicians of his
party in New York. For a little while
there was talk to the effect that he was
out of harmony with some of them, but
the talk doesn't appear to have amounted
to anything. When he was nominated for
Governor 1t was thought that he would
quarrel with Senator Plat before the cam
paign ended because of his disposition to
have everything his own way They are
getting along together very well, however,
and the politicians are saying that If
President Mckinley should fail to get a
denomination Mr.. Plat would favor the
nomination of Gov. Roosevelt. In fact,
the New York politicians are saying that
Mr.. P.att would like nothing better than
a chance to nominate him.
It would not be at all remarkable if Gov.
Roosevelt should be strong candidate for
the Republican nomination for President
next year. It is said that the President
is so impressed with this view of the sit
uation that he has sought to get rid of
Gov. Roosevelt as probable candidate by
offering him the position of Secretary OF
War. 1t is evident however, that such
talk has very little or no foundation. Sec
rotary Alger has no intention of getting
out of the war department, and there is
no indication that the President has any
intention of asking him to resign.
But this talk shows that the minds of
the Republican politicians are turning to-
ward Gov. Roosevelt as an available can
didate in the event of President McKin-
ley's being out of the race for any reason
whatever. The thought entered many
minds when Gov. Roosevelt became Gov
ernor of New York that it might turn out
that he would be the candidate of his
party for much greater honor in the
comparatively near future. Much. OF
course, depends on his success in the posi-
ton which he now occupies With his rec
ord al Santiago and a good record as Gov
ernor Of New York he would be a presi-
dental candidate that would appeal
strongly to Republicans in all parts of the
country.

Pithy Retorfs.

'Oh, don't that hay smell delightfully."-
exclaimed the summer boarder somewhat
ungrammatically, as the New Hampshire
farmer drove her near field of mown
grass.
''Humph" retorted the farmer, 'It
smells of hard work"
The answer illustrates the grim humor
of the New England farmer of the olden
time, whose hereditary sententiousness
restricted him to brief but strong ex-
pressions. Another illustration of this
grim, pithy humor is given in the history
of the Massachusetts town of Pelham.
John Hardness, a farmer of that town,
while blowing a gravelly knoll, one au-
tumn day, had halted the oxen to rest
just as a gentleman, driving a pair of
horses, passed on the high hill road near
by. The gentleman, stopping his turnout.
bade the farmer good morning and added {:
May ask you one question:"
What is it?'' answered the farmer.
What will ssuch land as you are plow-
ing bear?"
1t will bear manure, SIR answered
the farmer; and laying hold of the pillow
handiess, he started up his cattle.
