TOO MANY REFORMS.

Gen. Ludlow and Gen Brooke will like
ly get themselves disliked in Havana If
they continue their efforts to reform the
manners, customs and habits of the peo-
pie. There were good reasons for sending
the cows, which were kept In stables on
the lower floors of the residences, to the
country, but there was no good reason for
the order making II an offense for men
TO appear in the doors of their residences
in their shrt-sleeves, or to smoke in the
streets. The cows. being kept on the
lower floors OF residences, endangered the
health of the people, but cock-fghting.
bull-hghting. smoking in the streets and
appearing at the front doors of dwellings
without coats were matters with which
the military authorities ought not to have
meddled. The Cubans have their habits
aud customs, which seem to them to be
all right. Because they don't appear en-
urely right to us is no reason why we
should prohibit them. There are many
practices which the Cubans can be edu-
Gated to abandon. and which they will
abandon in all probability, in the course
of few years. But they should be edu-
Gated to abandon them, not forced to do

10 keep their premises in a thoroughly san
itary condition We are right in compel-
Ing them 10 obey health laws, but We
should depend upon time and education
to effect reforms in other matters.

Chinese PoIiteneS

Berlin court circles have been rnnob
amused by the contents of a private letter
from member of the suite Of Prince and
Princess Henry, apropos of the visit made
them by prominent mandarin on tba
Hang-tse- Kiang river.
Chmese ideas of compliments. saws the
Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger, are, more espec-
cially, on the matter of age. aDnarent1v
quite different from ours The mandarin
after having asked all kinds of questions
through the interpreter, Herr Voieht. said
to the Prince: And how old are vou?"
The reply was that the Prince had passed
his thirty-eighth year. you might be 20 -
replied the mandarin. who, by that. i'm
piled the compliment that the Prince had
the sagacity of the elder age
Then his mandarinship turned to the
Princess and began the same kind of cues
tons. Finally he came to the age. about
which ii appears to be Chinese etiquette
to ask. 'Thirty-two years" she replied.
The interpreter looked confused at the
mandarin's answer, but Prince Heinrich
who knew a little Chinese, enough to have
understood what the mandarin had said,
exclaimed: Don't be nervous, Herr Voigt,
repeat what he says Upon this the re-
ply was given: you might be co."
Immensely amused, the Prince turned
laughingly round to the Princess (who
looks uncommoniy young), and said: 81
would not have taken you for anything
like so old as thatr' The Princess ap-
preciated the joke and laughed heartily,
and the mandarin was highly delighted at
the success of his visit, little knowing why
they were all laughing.

Freaks of Bank Depo.itor..

The cashier of thriving bank in a big
Western town was doing the talking,
says the Washington Star.
when I began my career in the bank
ing business. he said, lit was in an old
esta blished bank in an Ohio city 10 which
my father had been elected president. We
didn't live in the town until his election
and moved there when he took charge.

FALLING org IN EXPORTS.

II seems to be agreed by those who
keep abreast of such matters that our
exports will not be nearly so great this
year as they were last. and the opinion
is expressed that it will be a good thing
for this country If they are not. The
reason for this opinion is that If we should
continue for few years to exceed our i'm .
ports by more than 5000, 100000. as was
the case in 1898. the nations which take
our products would be practically unable
to trade with us, because we should i'm
peril their money markets and destroy
their ability to be our customers. II is
apparent that in order to continue to buy
from us they must have a market for
their produets-they must sell something
10 order to get money with which to pur-
chase from us
il is said that there is no doubt that the
trade balance viii continue TO be largely
in our favor, but the amount of money
that will be coming to us at the end of
each year will not DE as great as it was
last year. But there is no falling off in
the activity OF our producers All of
their products are being disposed of at re-
muneratve prices Instead of going
abroad. however. larger percentage of
our products is finding a market at home
Ii is asserted that there is greater actlv-
tty in the home markets than ever be-

A young man with a monster bouquet
of violets on the lapel Of his light overcoat
rushed up to the hotel news stand, ac-
cording to the Washington Post and ex-
claimed:

a turn-up nose, and diVL appear to care
whether he lost his place or not.

SOME VIEWS OF THE SILVER
PLANK.

In a speech to the Jefferson Club at
Omaha the other day Col Bryan said;
1T Is my belief that none Of US viii live
to see a plank taken out of the Chicago
platform. New questions viii come up
and the platform will be added to, but
nothing viii be taken away"
In an interview in New York, reported
in Thursdays World, Hon. Evan P. How
ell is quoted as saying: "Mr Bryan is
unquestionably the idol of the Democratic
voters. but not a few Of the latter are
frank 10 declare that he must put the sill
yer question in the background, and make
the fight against trusts and monopolies."
Mr.. Howell referred to the Democratic
voters of Georgia, as we understand his
interview, when he said that not a few
of them insist that Mr.. Bryan shall leave
silver in the background He is a very
good politician and is quick 10 catch the
drift Of public sentiment. There has been
no opportunity, of course, to discover
TO what extent the belief that it would
be advisable to put silver in the back
ground is entertained by Democratic vot-
ers of this state, but 1t is probable that
the number of them is quite large. But
all who entertain that view are pot hostile
to silver. On the contrary, the great ma
jority of them, il Is safe TO say, are just
as firmly convinced that free silver coin
age would be a good thing for the coun-
try as they. ever were. But they have
doubts of the party's ability to win in
the next national contest if the silver
question is made the leading issue, as il
was in the campaign of 1896.
It is certain the conditions are not as
favorable for silver at this time as they
were during the last presidential cam
paign. Still. it is impossible to say now
what the conditions will be by the time
the next campaign begins. Bad times
may come within the next year, and they
would be helpful to the cause Of silver.
AS the situation Is at present, how
ever, there seems to be considerable
ground for thinking that many Democrats
are questioning the wisdom Of making the
silver question the leading one in the
coming campaign. Mr.. Howell comes in
to contact with leading Democrats in all
parts of the state, and is therefore in a
position to know the drift of their thought
on political questions.

PEACE IN SIGHT.

Il is probable that Aguinaldo's commits
sioners. now in Manila. will accept the
terms which our peace commissioners are
P~pared to offer them. No doubt the
terms win b. practically the same
a. those which were offered couple of
weeks ago. and which Auginaldo rejected.
He is in worse predicament now than
he was then. and it is probable that he is
now in a more humble frame of mind. He
knows very well that after the victories
which our forces have gained since the
failure Of the first peace negotiations, it
is not at all likely that concessions will
be made which were then Withheld. There
fore il is reasonable TO suppose that Agui-
naido's commissioners are prepared to az
cept the terms which he once rejected.
The terms were very liberal They al
lowed the Fnipinos a very large measure
Of self-government. In fact, they con-
tained provisions for turning over almost
al. local affairs to the natives. They were
made with the idea Of educating the Fill
pinos to take care of their own political
affairs. II is not known, Of course, what
the policy win be which Congress will
adopt for the Philippines, but It is prob
able that it viii have in view the ult-
mate Independence of the Fllipinos.
The war is practically ended. Aguinal.
dos army has dwlndled away until he
hasn't more than 800 men with him, and
there are reasons for thinking that the
most of them would like to be released
from military duty. In Manila and In the
surrounding country the opinion prevails
that the insurrection IS a thing of The
past. The people are going back to their
occupations as If peace were assured
. Some of the best informed of the Manila
correspondents say that there would never
have been any opposition TO our authority
if it had not been for group of TagaIs
who formed an oath-bound society with
Aguinaldo at its head, to get possession
of the Philippines and hold them for their
own glory and profit. There would have
been sad times in Manila If this society's
scheme had succeeded.
Even if Aguinaldo should refuse to &C
cept the terms which our commissioners
offer, and decide To continue a sort of
guerrilla warfare in the mountains. he
wouldn't be able 10 do great deal of
harm, because the great majority of the
peop4e, If reports are to be relied upon.
are tired of the war, and of Aguinaldo
and want peace. Therefore, Aguinaldo's
power amounts to little or nothing. lie
knows that, and that 10 the chief reason
for believing that he will accept the terms
our commissioners are ready to offer him.
