It will be your duty first Of all to frame and
adopt a constitution for Cuba and wfeu flaL
has been done to formulate what in your opir-
ion, ought to be tn relations between Cuba
and the United State.
The constitution must be adequate to secure
stable, orderly and free government. When
You have formulated the relations which. IN
yoar opinion ought % exist between Cuba and
the United States the government OF the Unit
ed States will doubtless take such action on its
part as shall lead to final and authoritative
agreement between the people Of the two coun-
tries TO the promotion Of their common inter
ests.
All friends Of Cuba viii follow your Gelibera-
tions with the deepest interest, earnestly de-
string that you shall reach Just conclusions and
that by the dignity individual self-restraint
and wise conservatism which shall character
lie your proceedns in the capacity Of the Gu
ban people for representative government may
be signally illustrated.
The Fundamental distinction between true
representative government and n dictatorship
is that in the former every representative of
the people in whataye, OIL. re. confines himself
strictly within the limits Of his defined powers.
Without such Restraint there cannot be free
constitutional government.
Under the order pursuant t. which You have
been elected and convened you have no author
ity to take part in th' present government OF

RICHARD 0lSEY.

The Democratic party must take NJ
new leader No one Of greater cOur.
age and frmer convictions than Mr.
BRYAN can be found in this country.
Mr.. Bryan stands to-day a victim to
high principle, and man who will take
high rank in American history. His
place. however n leader must be filled.
Who will he be? In looking over the
many eminent names two naturally
present themselves to the mind as favor
able for this position. One is Richard
Olnev of Massachusetts,, and the other
David Bennett Hill Of New York 1t
does seem to rs that Richard Oluey
takes rank as one Of the ablest states
men in the country, and we can say
without exaggeration he takes high
rank among the worlds leading states
men. Mr. Omey as q Democrat is an
honor to the party, and should he be
chosen at the Democratic convention of
1904 there can be no doubt but he would
be a dangerous opponent to any man on
the other side. There is no other in
the country that would afford US so
much pleasure to support as Richard
Olney Of Massachusetts.

Cost of Schools in cities.

A shortage in the school fund in St.
Paul has caused the superintendent OF
the school system in that city to make
a comparison of the cost per pupil with
the similar cost in fourteen other cities.
On the basis of the figures of attend
ance the cost in st. Paul is $22.OS. Only
two other cities show q smaller cost
Kansas City, where the school year is
only nine months long and where the
cost is $20.O7, and Milwaukee. where
the salary account alone makes the
cost S21.S7. Several cities run from S224
to $2S, while the cost amounts to $3.50
in Pittsburg and to $4O.T in Denver.
The eastern cities have a much higher
rate than those in the west, Denver cx-
cepted, and there the cost of labor ana
fuel is excessive. Tic figures given
have to do with the entire school sys-
TEN, but the difference is wider when
high schools alone are considered.
Boston, with its suburbs. has twelve
high schools, for which it pays a per
capita rate of $S5.4O: OH a salary basis
alone it amounts to $62. 10. In st. Paul
the total per capita cost in high schools
on the basis of average daily attendance
is S44.3G. and out of this S34.01 is en-
pended for teachers salaries.-Ruffalo

Of General Daniel Sickles, then q re-

murder of Philip Barton Key, who was
the United States districtattorney. The
pictorial exhibits in this trial almost
filed one of the walls of the courthouse.
The clubhouse in the front of which the
shooting occurred, now the site Of the
Lafayette Square opera-house, was, Of
course, the principal picture. Then
there was Il drawing of Lafayette
square, showing how key signaled over
to Mrs. Sickles, who resided on the Op-
posite side of that square, and a big
drawing of the house on Fifteenth
street. between X and l. streets, where
the meetings between Colonel Key and
Mrs. Sickles took place, as we'll as the
signals which were displayed on the
house indicating to Key whether or not
Mrs. Sickles had arrived there. Be-

and diagrams which were prepared by
