From the Mares Month.

Sir Robert F'lnlay. the new attorney
general. like most counsel with a large
practice, knows what it is to receive a
disconcerting reply from an apparently
guileless witness, and tells good story
against himself in illustration, says the
London Chronicle. He was engaged on a
case of breach of warranty of horse the
age of the animal being the chief matter
in dispute, and had to eross-examine a
hostler, yokei with every appearance of
rustic simplicity. Upon what authority
do you swear to the age of the mare?"
he asked. I'm sure of it," was the re-
ply. Half a dozen more questions failed
TO elicit from the witness any more spe-
cihc answer. but how do you know"

One of the first claims that will be pre-
scented to this government by the indie
pendent government of Cuba, 1t is said,
will be for $4,000 as reimbursement for
the Triscornia Railroad. This is the lit
tie six-mile military road concerning
which so much has been said in the pub
lie prints recently. Already $350,000 has
been taken out Of the Cuban funds 10 pay
for the construction of the line, and the
probabilities are that $4,000 more will
have 10 be paid for righls-of-way and in
cidentals. The road has been good only
for military purposes, and will never be
good for anything else, it is said There
is no possibility by which il can be made
of internal benefit to Cuba. When they
come into their own, therefore, the Gu
bans will ask the United States govern
ment to return to them the 100000 which
che road will have cost.

The taking of the census was begun on
the first day of the current month, but It
is not expected that the publication of the
data gathered will be completed under two
years; and the cost viii mount up to the
gigantic figure of about s16,0OO0O0. The
piling and printing of the census were a
private enterprise, the work could be
accomplished for half the money in half
the time. But the census is a political af-
fadr, and jobs must be maintained for an
army OF political workers.

piration of his leave It is said he will be
assigned to command Of the Department

Kitchener will be made the first COVER

made good record in the Soudan, and is

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd) says:
There is not a state in the North which,
had it been placed by the fifteenth amend
ment in the position of Mississippi Louisi-
ana. or South Carolina, would have sub
mitted to the wrong. There are few in
telligent men in the North who were not
long since convinced that the fifteenth
amendment was a gigantic blunder. But
all that does not repeal that amendment,
and therefore has no bearing on the
grandfather clause"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal Dem.)
says: "The Westerners are the phogolytes
who are destined to devour the non-com-
Blatant leuoocytes of the Orient, where the
Hoars and the Baileys have so long ruled
and where the people have become effem-
mate. Western civilization has found a
foothold In the East and the railroad and
factory will penetrate every portion of the
empire. There will be a moderniza tion of
the great empire or a ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
It,"
The Birmingham News Oem) says:
"The duties of Vice President as presid-
ing officer of the Senate are important
and the responsibility which rests upon
him in the solemn contingency of the
death or disability of the President is very
great. The office should be properly re-
garded as one of high honor and political
parties should be careful in selecting cam
didates for 1t.
