OUR FLAG IN HAVANA.

a new chapter has been begun in the
history of Cuba. The flag Of Spain that
waved over the island for more than four
centuries has been taken down. and in its
place the flag of the United States has
been raised. Under the flag Of Spain, for
the greater part of the time, the condi-
ton of the people was deplorable. If the
Cuban people have the qualities necessary
for self government Cuba, within a de-
cade, ought to be one of the most pros
porous countries in the world If the
United States should retain jurisdiction
over the island il would very soon be ex-
tremely productive and rich and the peo-
pie would be prosperous and happy
It cannot be predicted with any degree
of certainty what its condition will be
under the rule of the Cubans. But it can
be said with entire safety that the island
win never again fare as badly as it did
under the rule Of Spain, especially during
the last half century of that rule. If the
Cubans show themselves to be unfit for
self-government the United States will
step forward and take charge Of the isl
and, If it should become necessary TO do
that Cuba would become a part of the
United States.
It is probable that if the real sentiments
of the property owners were known il
would appear that annexation to this
country is favored by them to a much
greater extent than it is generally believ-
ed to be. Those who have something to
lose are fearful that self-governlnent will
prove TO be a sad failure, not because
there are not Cubans who are capable Of
governing the island, but because those
who are capable of governing will not be
permitted to do so. The men who have
been in the insurgent army will insist on
being entrusted with the government. and
there are very few of them who are fit
for it's responsibilities There will not be
nearly enough offices 10 satisfy all who
think they are entitled to them. Hence,
there wall be revolutions, unless the gov
eminent is very strong, and revolutions
would prevent the country from becoming
prosperous. But, as already said, if it be-
govern themselves this country will
not hesitate to assume control of the ISL
and If that condition of affairs should
come about Cuba would have a govern
ment under which life and property would
be entirely safe. When Cuba has such a
government ats wealth and prosperity
will be assured.

For the first time in years the chimes
of St. MichaePs, in Charleston, failed to
ring out the old year and ring in the new,
on last Sunday night The omission
came about through the very ordinary
circumstance that the negro bell ringer
got hold of the wrong key and could not
unlock the church door when it came time
to sound the chimes. Nevertheless every
faithful Charlestonian will feel it In his
bones that the failure Of St MichaePs
chimes to greet the newborn year with
"Tafy Was a Welchman, Taffy was a
Tief," after the time honored custom, was
an omen of sinister events to occur during
the twelve months.

The Supreme Court of South Carolina
will hear an interesting case in a few
days. 1t involves the question whether or
not lynehing must be paid for, and goes
up on an appeal from Judge Aldrich's
court for Orangeburg county A negro
had been arrested in Orangeburg on a
charge of arson. No evidence could be
produced against him, and he was dis
charged from custody. After being releas-
ed by the officers of the law he was ap-
pretended by a mob and lynched. Under
new law, his heirs brought suit against
the county for damages. Upon the hear
ing of the case Judge Aldrich ruled that
the constitution and the statutes only
provided against the lynching of prison
ers taken from the custody of officers of
the law, and SO decided the case in favor
of the county without letting it go to the
jury Upon this an appeal has been
taken.

LONG DISTANCE MURDER.

The interest taken in the case of Mrs.
Adams Of New York, who was the victim
of a murderer who sent to a Mr. Cornish,
a resident in the house Of Mrs. Adams, Il
bottle Of cyanide Of potassium, marked
bromo-seItzer. is almost as great as that
taken in the case of Mrs Dunning of Del
aware, who received poisoned candy from
some one in California, and who, together
with a friend, ate the candy and died
from the effects thereof As stated in our
dispatches on Sunday, Mrs. Botkin of San
Francisco was convicted and sentenced to
life imprisonment for sending the candy TO
Mrs. Dunning, but the detectives have
not yet discovered who sent the alleged
brono-seltzer to Mr.. Cornish. There seems
to De no doubt that the alleged bromo-selt-
ger was intended for Mr. Cornish. II
was sent to him, and Mrs. Adams was
given dose of it before Mr. Cornish took
any Of it because she complained of hav-
ing headache soon after the bottle came
into the house 1t came as a Christmas
present, and was sent through che NAH,
as was the box Of poisoned candy to Mrs.
Dunning.
In future people will be careful about
eating or drinking anything received
through the mails, unless they are sure
they know from whence il came. 1t is an
easy way to commit murder-this long dis
lance way-and the danger of detection Is
greatly lessened. The safe thing to do is
to have nothing to do with candies and
medicines coming through the mails from
unknown sources. They are as likely to
be as full of poison as anonymous letters
are of malice

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd.) says:
1.-THE wage workers of the United States
have been slow in realizing that the an
nexation of the islanders of the East and
West Indies brings them face to face with
something akin to Chinese cheap labor and
that they win not be able to resist it when
it comes in that form. They seem, now,
however, to be waking up to the fact.
In some parts of the country resolutions
have been passed by workingmen express
ing the belief that annexation of the Phil
ippines is part of a capitalistic scheme
to bring about a reduction of wages. We
do not think that there is any ground for
this suspicion, but We agree with the Bos-
ton Central Labor Union that if such a
result should follow, it would aggravate
industrial discomfort to a dangerous de-
gree. AS surely as the Philippines are an
nexed, whatever the forms of annexation
may be, and however we may seek to
guard against the admission of their in
habitants to the present United States,
they will find their way hither, and they
cannot be kept out except by trampling
under foot the foundation principle of the
republic, which is the equality of an citi-
zens under the law"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) draws the
conclusion from the precedent established
by the trial in California of Mrs. Botkin.
who sent poison through the mail to per-
sons in Delaware: ''It is settled in law
that if a man commits a crime in one state
the effects of which are produced i'm an
other state he is safe from extradition If
he had not been in the second state and
had not fed from justice there. He can
be tried only in the state where he is
found. He may surrender voluntarily and
60 to the other state for trial but cannot
be delivered up on a warrant of arrest"
In its New Years editorial, the New Or
leans Times Democrat Dem) says: "Ev-
cry lover Of freedom throughout the world
viii Join in the prayer sent up from every
true American heart to-day that we may
learn the lesson of SPANS decay and ruin
that, without justice, there can be no
enduring dominion. From the lips of every
man in the wide world who loves Justice
in the larger sense, there viii ascend the
joyful exclamation: lie Roi est mort. vive
lie Roi.' Spanish tyranny is dead; Ameri-
can freedom will live and work in it's
stead"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem.) says:
There is no prospect in sight that prom
ises universal peace and good will among
men. The nineteenth century was born
amid the lurid flames and the ferocious
slaughter of the Napoleonic wars. The
American incident with Spain in 1898. al
though mere toy war as to the carnage
and devastation wrought by ii, may yet
be the spark that viii fire the vast ex-
plosive magazines OF all the great ma
TONS"

g. W. Myers Disappears From His

Sabetha, Jan 30.-Word has reached
here that G. w. Myers, for many years
a prominent merchant of this city, dis
appeared from his family at Colorado
Springs about one month ago and up to

Mr.. Myers was suffering from pneu-
monia, and it was supposed his mind
was, at the time, temporarily deranged-
During the absence of his family at
church he disappeared one Sunday
night.
Mr.. Myers wandered away from home
about seven years ago and was dis
covered on the train in western Nebras-
ka in a forlorn condition. After short
term under the doctors he seemed to
grow all right again.
Mrs Myers and children have re-
turned to Sabetha again. The husband
and father was an ardent church mem
