THE MODEST OUBANS.

The Baltimore american says: Estimates
oil the cost OF the little war which lent va
rie,y TO the proceedings of 1893, and furnish
ed Us with "a new crop of heroes, vary At
one time 1t was generally stated that the
average was Il million dollars day. One
assertion on the d Dor OF Congress placed th Q
total at $500 900 900, and another statemen /
ol u semi-official kind reduced this a hun
dred millions or 50, II Is very unimportant,
OF course. for 10 large nation like this a
lew hundreds of millions more or less are A
very small matter
At the same time, IL does rather grind
our patriotism to watch the rising prices OF
Cuban gratitude We went into this war
To save Cuba from All awful fate We had
Cuban atrocities Tor breakfast, dinner and
supper We prayed for Cubans late at
night and in early dawn. Then we got
Congress 10 work, and spent our millions
with great enthusiasm. We lost some of
our troops some fell IRON Spanish bu llets,
and hundreds were victims To canned beef
IL was all on account of our sympathy for
the poor and downtrodden There is moth.
iug To regret for our work-not even the
so 100000 which We have to pay for the
Pnnippnes-and we are secure 10 the
knowledge OF a duty nobly performed
But, at the same time, It is rather hard
for our benefciares to be raising the limit
oil their demands by millions OF dollars lii
not The money We object to, Tor Uncle Sam is
rich eyond the dreams OF avarice, but when
the people We have spent two or three hun
dred millions upon TO SET free agree TO take
three millions for their part 10 the perform
snce, and then raise the total by various
means TO si2,500,00O, 1t seems as II there
ought TO be an end to the matter. After
awhile the Cubans may go 80 lar as to form

THE SOUTHERN FRUIT CROP.

The most alarming reports regarding the
orange and peach crops have been current
since the recent blizzard swept over the
country. Some have gone so far as to say
that the fruit trees have been totally de-
stroyed, as was so largely the case three
years ago, when a cold wave utterly pros.
trated the orange growing industry Of
Florida. This time it seems that the pro
phets of evil have uttered their groan with
out waiting for the facts,
Dispatches recently received at jackson.
vile from all sections of Florida indicate
that the cold wave did very little damage
in the orange belt Outside of the tender
spring growth on the trees, they remain alb
sOutely uninjured, and 10 what is known as
the lower belt a larger crop OF oranges than
usual is expected. With regard TO the peach
crop Of Georgia, all the reports are not yet
in, bat it is said that experts who have gone
over some Of the peach growing territory
declare that the crop is safe. Even If sew
enty.tive per cent Of the buds have been de-
stroyed it is contended that there would be
enough left 10 make good harvest. This
is good news, for reports from States further
North indicate that the consumers will have
TO depend almost entirely on Georgia and
California peaches this year
With these two main crops safe, and the
truck farmers busiIy at work replanting
where the frost has done any damage, the
South can look for q prosperous year from
fruit and vegetables, and call itself lucky
that il has gotten off 80 well

THE FIREMEN.

We print this morning a commune
cation from u member of the Fire de-
partment, and in this communication is
perhaps as strong and as reasonable
an argument as can be made in favor
or the plan to have the legislature fix
the firemen's salaries. But unless New
Haven Is ready to give UP to the legls-
lature the management of all her af-
fairs we do not see why she should ask
the legislature to take or participate in
the management of her Fire depart
ment If, however, New Haven doesn't
manage the affairs of her Fire depart
ment wisely and justly there can be no
question that she ought to. If the pres
ent agitation brings interference by the
legislature it will not be a good thing,
but IL 1t calls attention to and results
in properly remedying wrongs that
have made their appearance it will be
good thing. One thing Is entirely
plain, and that is that the members of
the Fire department ought to have fair
and regular salaries and they ought to
be out of the devilish influence and the
devilish dangers of devilish politics.

the event Of a fire or a wreck IT can,
the Bank of course, will always pay the
money 1t represents: and even when
| there Is doubt about 1t the cash is paid
on security being given for indemnify
| ing the Bank should the note ever be
presented. The 100000 worth Of paper
or 100000, as it appears to have been
reduced to--taken from PARIS Bank
will therefore not represent loss un-
| less the crisp little billets have some
| day to be duly honored at the Bank OF
England counter. In that case the cash
paid in exchange for them will have to
come out Of the Golfers of the plum
dered bank.
Many years ago a bank director lost
a note for 100000 But, being a man Of
credit, and as there was no doubt about
the loss of the bill, he gave the usual
indemnity and got the money. Many
years after when the man had long
been dead, the paper was presented. 1t
was payable on demand, and had come
from abroad In the ordinary way of
business, and the sum it represented
had to be handed over, and as the in
demnity that had been given was re-
pudiated by the heirs of the man who
had given it, and for some reason could
not be enforced, the Bank on that oc-
casion had to put 100000 on the debit
side of the account. For once in a
way they paid double honor to a bit of
their own paper.
There is another story of a sum of
100000 which the Bank in it's early
days for short time refused to hand
over in exchange for it's own notes
They We're presented by Jew, whose
assertion that he had bought them was
not disputed and whose personal in
tegrity was above suspicion. They had.
however, undoubtedly been stolen, and
on that ground the Bank refused to
pay the money. The Jew went out into
the city and began to spread it abroad
that the Bank was shaky and couldn't
cash his notes, and as he backed his
assertion by displaying his indisputable
paper the assertion would in all pro-
liability soon have caused a run on the
Bank In few minutes a messenger
came to say that the notes would be
cashed If he would present them again

When Boston thinks Reform Is needed
she doesn't hesitate to make it. She
has come to the conclusion that the
English sparrow is a pesky pest. That
conclusion is supported by such power
full supporters as the Rev Edward Ev-
erett Hale, Bishop Lawrence, Lewis C.
Dabney, Alexander S. Porter, Charles
c. Jackson, Henry l.. Higginson, Mrs.
John l.. Gardner and others as promi-
nent. The reform movement is based
on the ground that the English sparrow
is "a public nuisance and q general ex-
pense and serious esthetic injury"
Mind, will you, that the aesthetic In
jury" Is placed last in the list, and this
in Boston. Mayor Quincy has been
petltioned to tackle the sparrows ''mer-
c1fully," and he is not going to shoot
or poison them to begin with. The frs.
attack to be made upon them will! be
to dislodge and destroy their nests.
The fact that gentle. cultivated and
humane Boston is finally and deliberate
ly down on the English sparrow will
give him pause in his mad career if he
can appreciate the significance of it,
He still has friends in New Haven, but
he will do well to lie low for awhile here
If ne wants to live in peace and plenty
in this favored spot. 1t is about time
for some sparrow reform here

Worth Any Old Price.

The prices charged by swell ladies'
tailors are extortionate-prohibi to
most wonderland for the palmer sam
pies of their outfit don't seem to give
proportionately large return. But when
it comes to gowns that are trimmed in
new ways that are stylish, even the Wo-
men who simply can't afford such are
moved to admiration. Any old price
that a woman can afford to pay Is fair
for such a tailor gown as that Of this
picture, for instance Its fit of bodice
and fit and hang of skirt were perfect,

fashion don't have to bother much
about economies.
The shirt waist of the coming season
Is a little less boused than that of last
summer. Sleeves are smaller and the
stripes almost invariably so up and
down. Roman stripes will be much
worn, not only in the stronger colors,
but in dainty blendngs of lilac, rose
and blue. Tucked waists of sateen and
cambria, in rose and yellow, coral and
blue, as we'll as white and lavender,
will be made exactly after the plan of
the taffeta and satin waists women
have worn this season White lawn
stocks and pique stocks with Tuxedo

A correspondent who doesn't seem to

Gus system writes: 1.-THE combined
wisdom OF this household suggests that
instead of holding caucuses to decide
who shall be the candidate for mayor

city the following plan should be adopt
ed: All persons who are willing that
their names should be put in nomina-
ton shall, on the next fine, warm spring
day, either be picketed at spot mid
way between Center church and the
First Methodist church for six hours
or else compelled to patrol the walk
between those places (diagonally across
the Green) for the same space of time

certainly ensue should be installed in

candidate were so fortunate they might

This is an ingenious idea, but 1t hath
in it an element of cruelty and loss If
the lives Of those who are in politics
are to be considered valuable. Wouldn't
1t be better to put a shovel in the hands
of each of the candidates and set them
all at work on the great glacier, the one
who makes the most impression on it to
be called the best man and the one most
likely to be an efficient mayor?
