WASHINGTON. May i5.-High officials
in the war department were reluctant to
discuss the Cuban situation this after
noon The dispatch to the Associated
Press did not cause much surprise among
army officers who are well Informed about
the Cubans.
There .s an impression that the intens
ton Of Gen. Brooke to see that the $780,
00o are distributed among all the Cuban
troops has caused disappointment among
the many generals and other high off
ficers. who were evidently expecting TO
secure a large share Of the money.
The belief was Expressed that tho situa-
ton In Cuba Is serious. and that careful
and diplomatic management will b
needed
II was stated that no orders will be
issued to Gen. Brooke, as he had ample
authority 10 deal with the situation. There
seems to be q belief that Gen. Comes has
contributed to the delay In tho payment
OF the money.

q REVIEW OF SCANDINAVIAN
LITERATURE.
(Concluded.)
BY JULIUS EMIL OLSON, B. l..

1t is especially three of 1bsen's last
dramas that have aroused the public.
"A Dolls House" QS19), Ghosts" USSD
and An Enemy Of the People uSS2)
"a Dolls House" which is the best
known of them. was at first received
with Indignation In Ibsen's early
dramas it had been the lot of his hero
ines ito love, be sacrificed and be for
gotten" In the whole range of litcra-
ture there are perhaps few. If any, bet
ter portraits of loving, self-sacriiicing
women than Agnes in Brand" and
Selveig in Peer Gynt." But later
when lbsen ceased to believe In the
portrayal of highly localized characters
as an anoydne for social decrepitude.
his heroines are stripped of their super
human qualities. In 1.-THE Pillars of
Society" QSIO an independent woman
of modern type appears for the first
time. as subsidiary figure. however.
The hero. Helmer. loving. reasonable
and plausible. as he seems at first, Is
in reality but another pillar of so
ciety." the cgotist as husband. When
Nora. in Il crisis. discovers this fact,
she comes to the conclusion that her
first duty is not to him and the con-
ventional society of which he stands in
such awe. but to her own self as Il
human being. She feels that she can
not be n free and Independent woman
in her marriage with n man who does
not perceive that she has any duty to
herself beyond his interests or any
rights as an individual. Convinced of
the great injustice she has suffered. and
of the fact that her life with Helmer
has not been Il true marriage. she
leaves her home and children. 1t is not
strange that the conventional public.
was indignant at this solution. But it
seems still more strange that so few
people saw that this play was in truth
an aootheosis of woman. 1t has. how
ever. long since won favor in Scandi-
navia. and its success on the boards
has been great. In fact this play has
tempted and fascinated many of the
best actresses in Europe. Ibsen's
dramas in fact. exact the highest form
of histrionic talent. \ competent ac-

people. or that are adverse to the peo-
pie and the interests of the public.
AS an agent or representative Of the
people, one loses his individual indie
pendence in respect to the questions in
public controversy. He is bound to
speak and vote as his constituents have
dictated: for so he has promised them,
or so they understand it; else they
would not have elected him. Still, the
candidate for Office is u different man
after he has succeeded. He has ac-
complished his object as candidate.
and now he has another object. or other
objects, in view.
That object should be to carry out
the wishes OF those who voted for him;
but he seems to think they got all they
wanted and all they are entitled to, in
placing him in Office. He believes they
were for him; but they were for him
only as their representative and agent;
and the moment ne forgcts that. he is
false and treacherous. If he listens to
others ieven his own wishes), he be-
trays his trust. AS public man. he is
no longer entitled to private opinions
and to consider his own personal inter-
csts. He may do so, but his duty de-
mands fidelity to his political promises.
His labors are now bent industrously
toward cXcusing. defending and just

pledges. lie even discovers that the
people were wrong.-didnt know what
they wanted. or didn't want it, And

jure his people greatly and prove him

to the current of events. and nteili-
gently apply them to his promises, as
now interpreted in the new light thrown
on them, or as amended by facts.
The important thing is for legisla-
tor. or any other public officer, to recol-
lcct that he is no longer acting in pub
lie concerns for himself. and that he is
Il servant of his constituents Private,

siderations TO which he was formerly

DAILY. the eminent American theatri-
| cal manager, who has just died at Paris
of pneumonia. IS widely discussed in the
press of Europe and America. down to
the smallest details OF his private life
and personal ways. Among many
things told of him was his bitter con-
tempt for busybodies and informed
dlers. In every dressing room of his
theatres. it is said he had placards con-
spcuously posted, bearing such advice
as follows:
"a Sure Road to Success-Mind Your
Own Business."-"A Sure Road to Hap
piness-Mind Your Own Business"
These notices undoubtedly betray a
leading inclination in his make up, as
he understood them, with some admix-
ture OF 4 feeling of spite and vengeance
on those who violated these precepts by
invading his affairs with unsolicited adj
vice and suggestion. The mottnes- con-
vey a practical wisdom that applies to

THE PUBLIC SERVANT.

There Is not only legitimate and lille
Ultimate influence in politics, but proper
and improper ways of using influence
when it is legitimate. To make presents
Is very common means employed in
affairs, public and private; and we do
not know that there Is any great crime
involved, unless it amount to bribery. or
an attempt at that, in some public mat
ter. But the subject is too great TO be
discussed briefly, and we wish to sub
nit remark only: THAT where a man
is a public agent, he NAV. I'm that
character, be invested with much more
power than as a private person; but he
as also deprived of great deal of his
personal independence, and he must act
and speak for his principals the people
who elect him to Office"
The fact. as stated and quoted is TOO
often forgotten or ignored; and that il
IS so Is the chief reason why represent
alive government is so largely a failure.
The people are for a certain measure
