an independent existence. This sounls
well. But when you look little deep
er the hope of freedom for Cuba seems
far away. When the Constitution is
framed it is to be subject to revision
and approval at Washington and in
addition the following limitations are
laid down for the guidance ard gov
eminent of the future republic.
1.-The foreign relations of Cuba to be
managed through the American govern
ment at Washington.
2-Cuba to have no power to declare
war without the consent OF the United
States.
3-The United State government to have
veto power over legislation increasing
the Cuban debt beyond certain limits 10
be set forth in the new constitution.
4-17le United States to have certain
well defined supervision over the Cuban
treasury.
5-The United States to retain for per-
iod of years, If not indefinitely, control of
the Notifications which command the
port of Havana, and other important cit
les of the republic.
This is independence with string
to it, with vengeance. Under these
regulations CuDa will be about as free
as Poland under Russian sway or the
South African republics under British
rule. The Island will be tied to Wash
ington as tightly as it lately was to
Spain, an American garrison will be
maintained to enforce Americas pleas
ure, and about the only privilege the
people of the Island will have will be
to foot all bills and look pleasant.
This is new and patent Republican
fern Of freedom, sure enough.

"pRosPERITY, DIAGNOSED.

That well known Wall street stock
operator, Mr.. Keene, now in London.
has lately been looking over the bust
ness and mercantile conditions in the
United States from the point of want
age afforded by the English metropolis,
and has come to the conclusion that
the situation is not entirely satisfac-
tory. A London correspondent quotes
him as saying that about two hundred
men control the railroads, manufac-
lures and great general businesses of
America, and he adds:-
mo independent man can go into bust
ness without the monopolies coming down
and crushing him out"
Mr.. Keene then proceeds:
II do not look upon the business situa-
ton in the United States as prosperous.
We have had period of four years of eX-
traordinary excitement, which is now on
the ebb. That kind of business cannot
live when the excitement is over You
have the oVercapitalization to look at in
the eye
This is very fair, not to say con-
sentative, view of the situation. Our
present prosperity" which bears the
Mckinley brand, was created by act of
Congress, and is about what may be
expected from that source. 1t lacks
both permanancy and general benefit.
1t benefits a few men at the expense of
the many, and is fictitious, fallacious
and fraudulent Real prosperity bene-
fits the many and not the few.

"PIain Daty" to the Cubans.

Utica Observer.
On the question of the fitness of the peo-
pie for self-government General Wood
says: There is no more aw-abiding
people than the Cubans, and the proof of
it is found in the recent elections, which
We're orderly and vet aroused considerable
rivalry and some hard-fought fights,
though not a blow was exchanged nor a
pistol shot anywhere" What excuse
have we for continuing to impose a car
pet bag government on the people to
whom we solemnly guaranteed independ-
ence? The character General Wood gives
them makes it imperative that we fulfill
our obligation before we provoke the
Cubans into rebellion as we did the Fill
pinos.

November the present Chinese question
will be certain to furnish the vital and
controlling issue that will be bigger than
William Mckinley or William Jennings
Bryan. 1t will be bigger than the Repub-
lican or the Democratic party and parties
and individuals will be dwarfed into COM
parative insignificance when the people of
this country shall declare its policy at
the November election.
Grave as have been many of our Pres
idential contests. the one upon which we
are about to enter will certainly equal
any of them in solemnity and likely to
surpass all political questions presented
for solution. excepting only the issue of
the dismemberment of the republic by civ
il war.

coon nEMoCRArIC noCrRINE.

GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, has
announced that he is going to vote for
Mckinley, after his repeated and caus-
tic criticisms of the Mckinley policy
particularly in regard to the Philip
pines. Mr.. Hoar is for Mckinley be.
cause the Massachusetts Legislature
will be called upon to re-elect him
shortly, and he wishes to stand as
fair as he can. Mr.. Hoar still stands
upon Democratic ground, however, as
witness this extract from his --latest
public utterance:
q think President Mckinley and the
republican party have made a mistake
| have not changed my mind.
think the Philippine islands belong to the
Philippine people. | think that the peo-
pie have right to such government, as
they think good for themselves, and that
we have no right to give them such gov
eminent as we think good for them
There We have the truth, perhaps
! inadvertently given to the press. The
Senator's real convictions shine
through his declaration of loyalty to
Mckinley, and it thus becomes appar-
ent that in heart and mind he is really
with the Democracy. One more thing
remains for Senator Hoar. If he real
ly believes what he has said he be-
lieves, both on and off the floor of the
Senate chamber, he should revoke his
determination to vote for Mckinley
and if it costs him his place in the
Senate retire to private life in his old
age with the knowledge that he is q
liberty-loving citizen of the republic
true to the traditions of his country
and not afraid to speak his mind
Senator Hoar will achieve great honor
if he will but embrace the opportun-
ity.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
AMERICA TRlCKED.

Indications are multiplying that Pres
ident Mckinley and the Washington
government have been tricked and out
witted by the willy Chinese, and that
we have been placed in position from
which we must Immediately withdraw.
We were very quick to accept as true
the Chinese assurances that the lega-
TONERS were alive and well, and the
"Conger telegram" undated, was ac-
copied at its face value. Upon the
strength of it, we proffered China GER
tain things upon certain conditions, and
went on dealing with the representa-
0ses of the Empire upon the presump-
ton that things were what they had
been made to appear to be, and that
the Celestial government was acting
fairly.
Europe has all along been skeptical
ard this feeling has now thoroughly
penetrated Washington official circles.
Al the seat of government it is now
believed that the majority of the for
ejgners are dead, and the rest held as
hostages for the withdrawal of the for-
eign force, and in addition, and going
very much farther there is a good deal
more than suspicion that Ii Hung
! Chang is party to the great game of
deception, that he is virtually prisoner
i'll allied hands at Shanghai. and the
fear daily grows that the entire Chi
rose nation is saturated and permeated
with the hostility to foreigners, that
the southern provinces will rise in a
short time, and that a virtually united
and tolerably well prepared people Will
confront the rest of the world with
arms. A probable speedy move will
be against the Chinese feet, the BON
Iardment of Chinese coast cities is
very liable to happen by any one or
more of the powers, and then the war
vii be on in earnest.
This is the latest and best possible
summary OF the situation. It's aspects

day, but the general and steady ten
dency i to worse conditions instead Of

THE CUBAN. FRAUDS.

The details of Neeley's stealings in
Cuba, as revealed by the report Of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, are interesting. Neeley had
been getting $1,S00 a year before he
went to the Island, and was financially
embarrassed. In a little over a year
he got away with at least $131 900, was
able to invest in large business enter
prises, and had sent about $4,000 IN
cash to his home bank. AS soon as it
car be ascertained approximately what
Rich, Rathbone, Reeves and the rest
Of the gang stole, the account can be
cast up and grand total arrived az.
The fact of the stealing of these public
funds is beyond question. Why not
promptly convict and punish the guilty
parties? 1t won't do to have a series
of Captain Carter cases growing out Of
these grand larcenies. Doubtless other
men not yet named, have had a finger
il. the pie. 1t is the duty of the gov
eminent to get after the whole crowd
ard land them all in prison for a long
term Of years, compelling at the same
time such restoration as may be pos
sible.
This Cuban rascality has been a very
bad piece of business. Wholesale
piunder appears to have been the mo-
tive and practice of the officials almost
from the moment they landed on the
Island, and it was made easy by the
apparent fact that there was absolute
~ no official check at Washington or
anywhere else. The way Rathbone's
salary was allowed shows this fully.
He was sent there on a salary of $4,-
600 per year. Then he asked for IS
per day additional, and got it for the
asking. This wasn't enough, and bis
salary was increased to Sc, 500. After
that he continued to draw his S. per
day, while his bills were something
terrific, amounting into the thausands
for his carriage and coachman alone,
while he bought everything from over
coats to dog collars, charged it up, drew
fraudulent warrants in $500 sums be-
Sides and still was stealing all the time
in addition. 1t beat all the get rich
quick games ever Matched out.

There have been about three very
bad years for the newspapers on ac-
count of wars. The English Soudan
expedition was succeeded by the Span
ish-American war, and that by the
Boer-English war, and that again by
the Chinese puzzle. AS a result mill
lions have been expended for cable
grams and for the services of news
paper men, that the public might be
kept informed of what is going on in
the world. On several occasions big
papers have spent $500 for single
kilograms and yet reaped no pecuniary
benefit, or at most a very slight one.
AT present every word that comes from
China costs $23S.

New Cure For Bald Heads,

a young man who has lived for thir.
ty years in 'hc vicinity Of Manayunk,
Pa, is looking forward eagerly to two
important events in his life-his mar
riage and his first hair cut. He lost
all his hair at very early age. IL
fact, it is said that he has never had
any from infancy However thatmay
be. he has always worn wig, and his
scnsitiveness on this point has pre-
vented him from associating very much
with the fair sex Some time ago he
met young woman, and for the first
time in his life he fell in love. Still
he despaircd Of winning her, because
OF his physical defect. 4 short time
after the tender passion first asserted
itself, he was surprised one morning
to observe that in washing lis head a
little down appeared on the skin. Ply
sicians attribute the growth of hair to
the increased flow of blood to the head
under the stimulation of the emotions
OF love. The marriage is not far of.

Worth Initiating.

Mr.. Francis La Flenschc, an Omaha
Indian, has recently published an ac.
count of.the training of children in
the tepees of that tribe.
"Nc child is permitted to interrupt
an older person, or to pass between
two persons who are speaking" says
the author, "still less to come between
them and the fire. We were strictly
epjoined never to stare at strangers,
nor to address any one by his personal
name without title.
"From his earliest years the Omaha
child was trained in the grammatical
use of his native tongue. No
mistake was allowed to pass incorrect
ed.
s'No Indian parents ever whips his
child. When it commits fault, the
entire family assemblies in solemn cen
clave, and it is summoned and re proved
with such gravity that it never forgets
the lesson"
These are not civilized red men,
but the class known to US as ''sav-
ages"
London Truth lately gave an oc-
count of the training given in Tokyo
in the prefecture of police.
The Japanese policemen are taught
to knock gently at the doors of houses
before they enter. Under no ciroum-
stances are they to talk roughly.
Rough talk intimidates the innocent,
while the hardened criminal does not
mind it,"
In executing search warrants they
must not disturb sleeping children or
invalids.
They must deal kindly with dogs
belonging to strangers; hospitality is
due to animals as we'll as to men.
No amusement must ever be shown
at the mistakes Of foreigners. Every
effort must be made to impress strang-
ers with Japanese politeness, and all
people with the kindness as we'll as
the justice of Japanese law.
ls there nothing which the English
speaking peoples could learn from
these two nations, the Omahas and
the Japanese?-Youth's Companion.
