The people seem no nearer an agree
ment il the island of Cuba in regard
to who shall vote in the Constitu-
tlonal Convention than we are in the
choice of public measures in this coun-
try. The veteran Gomez, insisting
on the exclusion of all persons who
were not Revolutionists from participa-
tion in the choice of Delegates to the
Cuban Constitutional Convention,
does not seem to have been we'll ad-
vlsed. The way to establish a stable
Government and to get rid of the
American occupation is to procure
agreement, and not to encourage dis
sention, among the resident popula-
ton Of Cuba. AS they were unable
to achieve their indepe ndence un-
aided they cannot justly insist upon
perpetuating the feuds and dissen-
tions which have HERETOFORE existed in
fhe island and which have made
stable government practical impos.
sibility.

Thursday and Friday we're hot days
but the Cuban school teachers will
carry away pleasant recollections of
their visit to Philadelphia. From the
moment the transports brought them
within sight of the flying flags of the
harbor and city the visitors from our
island dependency manifested a lively
appreciation of their reception. The
appearance of the entire body of more
than one thousand bore out the state
ment of President Eliot, of Harvard
University, that American hospitality
has been tempered with good iudg-
ment. In spite of six weeks of sum-
mer study the health of none has suf-
fered. There was also evidence that
the women had quickly adapted them
selves to the customs of their Ameri
can sisters, and could take in the
sights of a strange city in happy spir
its and without fear of being uncon
yentional.

Prosperity of Labor.

The prosperity of the laboring men is
equally clear and striking. The re-
ports Of the state labor bureaus in the
great manufacturing and Industrial
centers show marked improvement
both in the number of EMPLOYEES.
hours Of employment and wages paid.
This is especially marked in the manu-
featuring, mining and transportation
interests, large increase in the wages
Of railway employees, of men employed
In the coal and iron mines and those
engaged in all lines of manufacturing
being shown. One interesting fact
which is shown Is that the purchasing
power of wages has ranged higher dur
ing President McKlnley's administra-
tion than at any other time in the his
tory Of the country.
Dangers of Free Silver.
On the currency question the book
opens with the assertion that chow.
ever much the skeleton of free silver
may try to conceal itself behind the
mask of Imperialism no thoughtful
man can doubt upon a moments reflec
tion that all Of the dangers of 1885,
again threaten our financial system IL
the campaign Of 1900" Attention Il
called to the fact that the Democratic
convention, at the dictation of MI
Bryan, not only reasserted In genera
terms all Of the principles Of the plat
form OF 1896, but emphasized adhel
ence to the free coinage heresy by spC
cifcally reiterating the silver declarf
tions Of 1896 in the platform adopte
Ia 1900. 1t then shows that the assel
ton that the currency question Is Sc
tied and that therefore the party whic
settled 1t may safely be removed fro
control Of national affairs Is not just
fed by the facts. An analysis OF pre-

The Dela,oarean, whice last week was
engaged in disclaiming against GER
tain class of members eff its own party
for being traitors, purchasable and &c,
this week turns to the Ecening Jour
nal and quotes it as making a similar
or stronge declaration in regard to the
Republican party. We know nothing
of the charges in either case, but the
acknowledgements were certainly as
patent as the purchases four years ago

of the last few years is certainly in

THERE is nothing so uncertain and
unreliable as news from China. This
much, however, is true, that the allied
Powers took Peking, the Emperor and
Empress Dowager escaping with
Prince Tuan to Hsian Flu, in Western
China. There is no government to
treat with. 1t is reported that the
Boxers have cut off communication of
the Allies with Tien Tsin and intend
to retake Peking. There was no truth
in the statement that Russia, Germany
and Japan had declared war against
Ohio.
