NEW YORK, April Robert 5. Rodeu
is "brassy'' man fguratively and in fact.
for he has carried twenty-five pounds OF
brass from his workshops to his home in
T0wnsheEd Avenue every day for nearly
five months In the cellar Of his house
was found a considerable quantity OF
brass ingOts, and on his own admission and

Roden is a hard drinker. and because OF
that fact was unable TO support his family
by his earnings as a sweeper in the fac
tory. He began to steal lead bars from
which the bullets for cartridges are made.
The revenue from lead however. was too
small to pay for even a short haul, and he
quit.
Brass is worth 12Ia cents a pound. and it
CO mes to the factory in bars five and one
half inches long. Roden placed a bar in
each Of the seventeen pockets of mis-
clothes every night when he went home
from work. He weighed 12O pounds when
he went to work. and 14j pounds when he
went home wearing his coat Of mail
At the rate OF his daily steaiings he
made an income of $3.12 extra. But two
tons Of brass is big loss. and an unac-
countable shortage Of the stock in the fac
tory led TO an investigation. Roden was
suspected. and last night. as he was about
to leave for home. he was searched. A
bar Of brass was taken from each Of the
four pockets Of his oyercoat four more
from his inside coat. four from his vest.
and five from his trousers pockets. He
accepted the situation calmly. saying:

The observance by the Cubans OF their
independence day was in Itself most assur-
ing as to the conditions on the island. They
entered into the spirit of the occasion with
great zest. and carried out an inspiring pro-
gram without a hitch Of any kind, The Gu
han flag the stars and stripes, and even the
Spanish flag, were all in evidence. and Gu
hans Americans and SpaniardS all partici-
pated in the festivities with thorough good
EUmOr- Fraternity seemed to be the order
- the day.
This, of course, was demanded by every
consideration of common sense and pro-
pri"ty. And yet it was an achievement
worthy Of note when ii is considered how
bong the island has been the scene of UNI
resi- and armed strife. The war which end
"a in tho expulsion of Spain lasted, 1t is
true. but three years. but Cuba had been in
a state of agitation for independence-and
for fully third Of the time the scene Of
CrGlflict-for thirty years. The most in
tense bitterness had been engendered among
all classes of the people. At every protest
II. he Cubans the Spanish authorities had
given the screw of oppression an additional
twist Al every additional twist of the
Spanish screw the spirit of the Cubans had
risen higher and grown ia be the more I'M
compromising. At last the conflict opened
which was to decide Cuha's fate. and after
three years of the most appalling expe-
renee for the Cubans was decided In Cuba's
favor. But eighteen months after the low
criug OF the Spanish flag we see the people
Of all nationahties mingling together IN
pace and enthusiasm in celebrat ion of the
success of the aspirations OF the Cubans.
For those aspirations have succeeded
The Cuban republic is not vet established.
but the people of the island have the most
positive assurances that their deStinies are
soon to be in their own hands. They are TO
decide for themselves what the future Is TO
be- The United States will keep faith with
them And it is this fact which contributes
50 much to the encouraging conditions
which now prevail in Cuba. The Cubans
are of good heart. The Spaniards in the
island see the necessity Of accommodating
themselves to the new order. and Of course
the Americans take pleasure in assisting
in whatever ia calculated to draw and keep
all OF the people together.
The success of Saturdays celebration is
OF the happiest augury. and every friend of
Cuba in reading the story has experienced
pleasure in IT.

The Sioux Falls Meeting,

Those popuists who selected Sioux Falls
as the place for holding their national con-
vention acted wisely. Their hunting ground
this year is to be the west. If there is any
thing in fusion it will be found there Pop
uHsm had its origin in that quarter, and
whatever is left of it is to be sought there
Reports as to the situation are conflicting
That the party which was to swallow up
both of the Old parties has lost consider
able ground of late is plain enough. Some
of the reasons which brought it into being
have disappeared and others have lost
much of their potency. Men OF prominence
who participated IN the movement at the
outset and represented it in office have
been forced to confess that the millennium
does not seem to lie in that direction. and
50 they have returned to their former po-
iit:cal affiliations.
In the south. where the populists were at
one time strong, their power Is almost
Georgia and particularly in Alabama. the
rule of the democracy was for several years
seriously threat ened. But that day is past.
Outside of the border states of Maryland,
Delaware, West Virginia and Kentucky
there is no longer an inch of debatable
ground politically in the south. The DEM
ocracy has recovered all the lost ground
and is now almost impregnably intrenched.
Its leaders are men of experience and ca
pacity. they have the situation well In hand,
The election laws framed by them are cx-
ccuted by them. and the result. as Mr.. Wat
terson frankly declared of the case in Ken
lucky, IS not left to chance. The south,
therefore, outside of the four states named
may safely be put down for Mr.. Bryan.
The populists in the west are recruited
very largely from the republicans. They
did not become estranged solely on ac-
count of the money question. Some of
them held low tariff views. Others advo-
Gated government ownership of all public
utilities. So that the collapse of all the ar
gument put forward by Mr.. Bryan in sup
port of free silver will not of itself take
them out of his train. He still stands for
much in which they believe and they are
now disposed to rally to his support a sec
ond time.

Pass the Pending Game Law.

The bill now pending in Congress which
provides for new game law for the District
Of Columbia commands the COMMUNICATION
of every true sportsman in the District,
and its enactment would be satisfactory to
them in a most emphatic sense. The pres
eut law is In many respects obnoxious and
particularly SO in its provisions governing
the killing of marsh birds, such as ortolan,
reed birds and marsh blackbirds il not
only permits the killing Of these too early
but In prohibiting the shooting of them on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays mar
rowly escapes, even If it does rot In fact
accomplish, being class legislation. This
effect. it may be explained, is found in the
fact that by law Labor day falls on the
first Monday In September, and the very
large number Of mechanics artisans and
iaborers who would otherwise be able to
enjoy their holiday in shooting over the
marshes are prevented by the Existing law
from so doing The measure proposed and now
awaiting action in Congress would remove
this unjust discrimination and in MANY
other ways be much desired Improvement
over the present statute. 1t should be
passed without hesitancy.
