Leprosy in the United States.

AeSile weekly.
 We are accustomed to think of the loathesome disease of leprosy as a danger of an alien and far-away kind, to be read about with pity and hor- TOT. but not to be realized as a pres ent evil in America. It will be start ling news, therefore. to many to learn that there are no less than 900 well defined cases of leprosy in this coun- try. and that the plague Is spreading in the South and in some of the Wes- tern States. Six cases have been dis covered in New York, six in Chicago, and nearly one hundred in New Or leans. Tt is fact of special signifi- canoe that nearly every person aff1ict- ed win leprosy is of foreign birth. Some are Swedes. but the majority are Italians. This furnishes a new and potent argument for a stricter enforce ment of immigration laws and quar- antine regulations. There is no appar- ent reason why the Southern States should have a larger proportion of lep- rosy cases than other parts of the Union. except that the health authori- ties of Southern ports are not as alert as some others. If the South, for ex- ample, had quarantine officers as ca pablo. vigilant and efficient as pr. AL yah H. Doty of New York. its cities might have as few lepers as the me- tropolis. The disease is one of the most terrible scourges known to the world. and no pains nor expense should be spared in arresting it's progress.

The Key to the Cuban Problem-our
 Debt to MT. Jephson.


 Now that Porto Rico is soon to have free trade with the United States" says The Philadelphia Times ''it is certain that Cuba will cast many wistful looks into the forbidden land.
 With the guaranty Of a reliable market in this country large sums of money will probably make their way to Porto Rico for investment in sugar plantations. Such advantages will operate powerfully to influence public opinion in Cuba in favor of annexation to the United States, for that island produces 20 times as much sugar as Porto Rico.
 The happiness of the Cuban people and their political contentment are de- pendent upon a good market for their sugar crop. The responsibility for the islands future rests with us. We pledge ourselves to stable govern ment there. We are to intervene in case the Cubans themselves are unable to organize and maintain an indepen- dent government
 "Whether they can do this or not largely depends upon the sugar trade If we shall not provide the Cubans with a market for their principal pro- ducts the old spirit of revolt will reas- sert itself, and the United States will have on its hands an insurrection which will lead to active intervention and eventual annexation. reciproc- ity treaty which shall give the islands free American market for their su- gar seems to be he key to the Cuban problem"

HAPPIEsT OF ROYAL GIRLS.
The Unrestricted Life of Victoriassof
 Wales.
Philadelphia Press.

WI dlCo.
 Philadelphia Press.
 The happiest royal girl in England is 23 years old, lives where she pleases, goes where she pleases, under what name she pleases (usually choosing that of Miss Johnson'0 and stays un- married as she pleases.
 All her life Princess Victoria Alexan- dria Olga Mary, second daughter of King Edward, has plucked the roses of royalty without touching Its thorns. Her girlhood was singularly free from the restrictions of court etiquette, while she was. of course, spared the ofttimes fearful struggle to be first, which falls to the lot of ordinary chil- dren with plenty of selfassertive play mates. Probably no one ever snatched her doll. Think of it!
 That wise woman, the Princess of Wales, is said to~ have allowed her daughters to grow up nearly Unto wo- manhood without wearing corsets. At all events, she allowed them free out of-door. rough-and- tumble life among the dogs and horses and inAthe fields and gardens of Sandringham. Princess Victoria is now nosed for her repose of demeanor and "statuesque" expression "a word which with non-royal girls would probably be replaced by another one. also beginning with an s. But as long-legged little tomboy of 10 she could skin" up trees or dart under fences with the best of them.
 When she grew up she threw her self with enthusiasm into athletics of all sorts--fencing, bicycling. and so forth-and not long ago had the sur prising experience of being stopped by sergeant in the grounds of Windsor castle for wheeling on forbidden path. Cooking. wood carving. repousse work there is nothing which the white ringers of this most energetic and in- dependent of princesses cannot do.
 At a certain Swiss summer resort she was known as The Tramway Girl" owing to the intense childlike delight which she exhibited in riding around on the trolley cars. Her fellows guests at the hotel did not. however. know they were thus designating the daught- CT of a king, as Mrs. and Miss John son of England" were the names by which she and her ex-governess com panion. whose name really is Johnson, were put down on the hotel register.
 The name of Miss Johnson is evil dently dear to the princess, for up to date she has not changed it for any other. That fact may be the hidden thoren In her rosy pathway, after all. On the other hand. she may reflect that her sister Maud. or. as she is usually called, Harry" of Denmark. is being made miserable by a mother law over in Denmark. But rumor never lets her name quite alone. There is always some European prince suing at her door, or coming to sue ,or retreat ing, rejected and dejected, according to foreign correspondence. The latest of these reports links her name to that of LordReveLtoke. her childhoods play mate. Her aunt. Princess Louise of Argyll. married out of royalty and into considerable domestic happiness. and who knows whether England's bachelor princess may not be meditating the same step,
