Why is it that the wandering fly,
Who might be happy in the gleam
OF summer sun, prefers to die
And thereby spoil the breakfast cream?
Why does the hateful sparrow thrive
While song birds into silence sink?
Why does the paste brush still contrve
Somehow TO get into the ink?
Why does it rain each holiday
And shine throughout the tolsome week
Why does the freckle find its way
Unerring to the fairest cheek?
Why do the weeds displace the flowers?
Why does a discord drown the song?
In short. upon this world of ours,
Oh, why does everything go wrong?

The Change In Havana.


The thoroughness of the sanitary reforms
which the American government has insti-
tuted in Havana is strikingly illustrated by
the official statement that April was the
only month since May, 1899. in which there
were no deaths from yellow fever in that
city and that April of this year and Feb
rrary and May of 1899 Were the only three
months in the last ten years in which Lnere
were no fatal cases of that disease To
those who knew the frightful sanitary con-
ditions that prevailed in Havana when the
American occupation took place this show
ing will be both surprising and gratifying.
1t means that the inhabitants of the city
have been taught the value of cleanliness
and that the fever pest has been virtually
exterminated by vigorous American meth

Russia and Turkey.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Russia's newly awakened interest in
Armenia and her protest to the Turkish
government are fresh signs of her ex-
pected movement from the Black sea to the
Arabian gulf. on one side, and the Mediter-
ranean on the other. 1t is becoming evil
dent that another crisis In tine affairs of
Turkey is approaching, and that Russia
will presently make decisive move In
that quarter of the world If she does So
there is no danger that the coalition which
fought the Crimean war will be reformed
All parties to that stupendous blunder have
been sorry for 1t since.

Senator Hale's horror at the spectacle of
the United States setting example of
fraud to the Cubans is not convincing when
one remembers that 1t was he who most
urgently advocated continuance Of the
Spanish regime, under which the Cuban
people were treated to a continuous per-
formance of fraud for over three hundred
years The difference between the Amari-
can fraud and the Spanish fraud is that
the former is detected. acknowledged and
punished, while the latter was regarded as
an incident of government.

VIII Not Succeed.
From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The man who urges the Washington gov

war thus certainly bringing about war
with England. is an enemy of the republic
President Mckinleys offer of mediation
the only offer. by the way. that has yet
been made-has satisfied all sensible and
patriotic people. 1t Is only the cheap
demagogues and unAmerican scalawags
who are now endeavoring to run the coun-

headed President they will not succeed
