AMERICAS WISE COUNSEL.
Cuban Intercsts Wen Protected by

HAVANA, July FLA Discussion saws
it is necessary to close the eyes ia order
rot to see that the moral influence OF the
United States over Cuba IS inevitable
Common sense demar1s that this he s,-

United States merely wishes to counsel
H,.t.,- not to have a costly army and navy.
and not to contract heavy debt, it will
find Cuba in perfect accord. The Cubans.
however, cannot admit the right Of the
United States to impose restrictions on
them.
The ''Nacion' says IL the Cuban Repub-
lie is to flourish. or even exist. it is necc=-
sary that its existence be compatible with
the interests OF the United States.
The Cuban planters will present A ne
Ldcn to Senior Lacoste. Presidsr- of the
PAINTERS Association, asking him to iu-
terest himself to prevent the levying OF
increased taxes on rural properties. Senior
LacOs.e says that the reason for the re-
quest is that the agricultural industries
are not in a position to stand taxation
He states that the best solution of the
agricultural question is the establishment
OF agricultural banks, which would enable
large land owners to advance money to
small growers. as has hitherto been the
custom in Cuba. The small grower is not
sufficiently educated to take advantage CT
the facilities granted BY bank nor would
the banker know the small growers suffi-
ciently well to DO business with them
senior LacCstc says that cattle raising
would pay . per cent profit Many Cubans
suggest the establishment OF banks. though

In no respect has the change in the posi-
ton OF the leaders and managers Of the
Republican party been more pronounced
than in their attitude toward England. The
loyalty Of the present Administration par
tigularly its Foreign Office. to the policies
Of England almost rivals tina; Of Australia
and the Dominion Of Canada Call it an
alliance or what you viii, but English
domination seems TO best express the re-
Iation existing between the London and
Washington Governments.
It was not always thus. But few years
ago the Republican press teemed with de-
nunciation of English ideas. of English
policies, OF English conditions. The gen
eraI distribution Of wealth among Ameri-
cans was contrasted with the extremes Of
poverty prevailing in England. British
gold was proclaimed to be large factor
in influencing votes against the Repub-
lican party.
Now all is changed and no expression
which even remotely affects British rela-
tons can escape from Republican source
until it is censored TO suit English tastes
and sensibilties.
What has brought about this revolution
in sentiment toward our hereditary enemy?
What has England done that our Govern
ment should be SO subservient? They say
England was our friend in the Spanish war
But our relations with the other powers
were also friendly, and their official attl-

Great Britain. But even II the English

Among the things suggested by the re-
cent burning of the three North German
Lloyd steamers at Hcboken is the idea Of
substituting iron for wood in the fittings
of such vessels hereafter. It is said that
the carved wood in the saloons furnished
considerable fuel to the flames. and would
in any event be 4 source of danger; and it
is argued that iron would be just as orna-
mental and much safer.
If this horrible occurrence leads TO the
building of stone instead of wooden piers
for all steamships. And to the elimination
of all that can prove inhammabie and is
not strictly necessary in the furnishing Of
a steamer, the poor wretches who persisted
in the disaster will not have died in vain.
But it seems a pity that mankind cannot
learn common sense in such matters with
out any such terrible object lesson. Any
body can see that there is danger in stor-
ing an immense mass of infammable mer-
chandise, such as cotton. in a place where
caTelessly dropped light might set the
whole ablaze and cause loss of life as well
as OF property; and yet this practice was
continued until it resulted in an appalling
tragedy. Anyone. likewise. can perceive
the uselessness of half the paraphernalia
of the ordinary steamers saloon. 1t is not
beautiful, it is not cheap. and in case Of
fire it may easily be dangerous The trou-
bic with American taste in such matters
is that it is supposed to demand all such
elaborate furnishings. when in reality the
travelling public only accepts them because
there is nothing better to be had. It sees
that line rich enough to afford plate
glass mirrors and plush sofas in the saloon
is likely to feed its passengers fairly well
and make them comfortable and safe The
plush furniture is nothing but sign
board. If the money which it costs were
put into other and more useful things. the
public would quickly learn to appreciate
the benefits of the change.
Another superstition much like this one
Is that which induces the railway com
panies 10 use plush curtains in sleeping
cars, when cool cotton fabrics would do
as well and be much cleaner. The Ameri-
can had, at one time. a sort of frantic
devotion to plush, and provided II in all
proper and improper places, with the ap-
parent idea that one cannot have too
much OF a good thing. The same is tue
Of gliding, stained glass, and a dozen other
barbaric accessories of bad taste combined
with too much money. When it is gen
orally understood that good taste consists
primarily in suiting things to their place
and use, and secondarily in giving them
as much beauty of form and color as is
consistent with this. our public buildings
and means Of transportation viii not be
such a trial TO artistic eyes. In the case
Of steamships there is actual danger in
elaborate trappings; in the home. or in
a hotel, there is danger Of a different sort.
