Not a Scotchman.
Topeka, Kas.. February 5, 200.

To the editor of the State Journal:
In your issue of last Friday evening
in a letter over-the signature of Mrs.
Thorpe, the police matron, a statement
was made that in this city was a
Scotchman and family who were in des-
titute circumstances.
The president of the Scottish society
Immediately appointed a committee to
Investigate. Mrs. Thorpe willingly fur
nfshed them the name and address.
They found out that this man was an
American, born and raised in Illinois
s~The poor we have always with us, >"
as the good Book tells so clearly and
pithily, but no deserving Scot need suf
fer in this city as long as there is a
Scottish society here and such Scotch
men as Thomas Page, John Macdonald
and James Cuthbert, who by their in
terest in such cases and their finan-
cial sympathy show that there is at
least some practical meaning left in
the old national motto: "Shouther to
shouther."
"Auld Scotia ne'er can lose her pride
Though fate should seem her foe
Gin Scotchmen share whate'er betide
Their joy with ithers Woe
Respectfully yours,
THE COMMITTEE.

will be seen in Henry Arthur Jones'
comedy 1.-The Liars" This piece ran
for four months in New York city with
John Drew in the principal part. The
production of THE Liars" is SumptuouS

didly balanced, Miss Nanette ComStOck
playing the leading female role. Other
members are Frank L. Sylvester. E. A.
Eberle, Blanche Neal, Clara Everett,

TOPPER Deering is said to give Mr.. Skin
ner greater opportunities for his polish
ed comedy methods than any other play
in which he has appeared. The story
of THE Liars" is a love affair in which
a young and beautiful married woman
is cleverly prevented from straying from
the proper path by Sir Christopher who
cleverly adjusts the relations between
the husband and wife and gets the
promise of the lover to return to Africa

NOT FREE CUBA YET.
American vereignty MustReign For
Months More.

New York, Feb. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
Though gratifed at the excellent con-
duct of the residents of Cuba since
American occupation began, the au-
thorities are still unable to name the
date when American sovereignty shall
end and the inhabitants of the island
shall commence the administration of
their own affairs.
Under instructions given by the pres
ident and the secretary of war before
his departure General Wood is doing
everything in his power to educate the
people of Cuba government, not only by
example but by placing them in posi-
lions of responsibility. 1t is believed
that after the Spanish subjects of the
island have registered their intention
of continuing their allegiance to Spain
or becoming citizens Cuba will be ready
for the elections which commit the mu-
nicipal governments of the island to
the officers elected by the people.
These elections will, of course, be con-
Quoted under American supervision.
The operations of the municipalities
will be carefully watched by the admin
istration in order to determine if the
people are ready for a larger response
bility, and if it should be shown that
such is the case then a representative
convention will be called to draft a con-
stitution and to establish a general
system of Independent government. In
his annual message the president de-
clared that the United States must
see to it that free Cuba be a reality,
not a name: a perfect entity, not
hasty experiment, bearing within it
self the clements of failure"
The year allowed by the treaty of
Paris for the Spanish population of the
island to elect whether they will be
Cuban or Spanish citizens will expire
on April II next. 1t was believed that
by that time the results of the census
would have been computed and tabu-
lated, when this government would be
ready to provide for municipal cleo

Accuracy OF statement regarding consti-
tutional law is not looked for from Bryan
or his corps OF spellbinders. but they
should have had sense enough TO have
avoided the ridiculous assertion that ex-
pansion over the Sulu island has made

This must be so. the Bryanites say. be-
cause under Republican doctrine the
constitution with the amendment abolish
ing slavery does not extend OF It's own
force to the island. Any one impressed
by such an assertion should read the anti
slavery amendment. from which It will be
learned that by express provision It APP

"aH territory under their jurisdiction"
That covers the sulu island. and there
can be no slavery there when the United
