CUBA'S REJECTION.

NIOBODY in this country will worry
much over the rejection of the
United States stlpulations by the Cuban
constitutional convention. These terms.
as set forth in the Platt resolutions, it is
safeto say, met the views OF an over
whelming aiority Of the American peo-
pie They merely imposed on Cuba the
form il recognition of the Monroe doc
trine, in It's special application to their
country and exacted pledge that the in
terests uf the United States in the island
shonld be kept III view by the Cubans.
Cuba was asked tC take certain steps
which would keep t out Of entanglements
calculated to make trouble between the
island and any European nation. 1t was
asked also to lease coaling stations to this
country and to use precautions whereby
the American sanitary measures already
begun in Cuba should be continued, so
that the Southern ports of this country
would be protected from the invasions
of pestiiences to which they were ex-
posed during the days of Spain's supre-
macy in the island
While the rejection of these eminently
reasonable terms may occasion regret
they are not likely to lead to serious
trouble. 1t must be borne in mind that
the United States is master of the stu.
alton ia the island. 1t has considerable
military force there, and this can be in.
creased at short notice. That there will
be any reason for its increase is decidedly
unlikely The rejection of the terms
as set forth in the Platt amendment
merely necessltates he maintenance OF
the military regime little longer than
was hoped by the administration and the
American people. Au American Gov
ernor-General the present official OF
somebody else, will remain in the island
Ine affairs Of the island will continue tC
be administered by the same machinery
which is IN operation at the present time
The island will continue under American
tuteleaee until settlement is reached
which will safeguard the interests Of tn,
people Of Cuba and be satisfactory to tn
United States All this involvesa a some
what longer occupation of Cuba THAI
most Americans expected or desired bu
the necessity will be faced unfiinchingl
and the measures which this will imp os
will be taken promptly.

THIS IS DIFFERENT.

GARD playing, in social way, and
~ dancing are likely to have a boom
in the east, as result of a bold dec1ara-
ton made by Rev. B. M. Adams, of
Bethal. Conn, to the effect that there
was marked falling off of the young
lady membership of the Methodist
church on account of the general pro-
hibition of dancing and card playing
The reason given is that young ladies
who do not dance nor play cards are de-
barred from the best society, and as a
consequence are handicapped in the mat
rimonial race, or as the reverend gentle
man expressed it, cannot get good hus-
bands This heteredoX opinion was ex-
pressed in a Methodist conference at
Hanson Place church, Brooklyn, and was
applanded by the members of the con-
ference, indicating that the other pas
l. would seem that despite the theories
of the church as to dancing and card
playing the young men who do these
things are regarded as the best catch for
the young ladies of the church. This is
hard on the good young men who never
miss a prayer meeting or Sunday
school. Rev. Adams stated that the
mothers purposely kept the daughters
out Of the church until they are married
and settled in life O, these designing
mothers! who would have believed 1T
If this becomes generally known, there
will be rich harvest for dancing teach
ers among the young men of the Metho
dist congregations in the effete East

DEPENDS ON WHOSE OK IT IS.

4 LII trusts are clearly bad except our
~ trust All religions are heterodox
except our religion. All children are uu-
bearable except our children. In every
thing APPEARS the eternal human equA-
ton, and
IF self tn wavering balance touch
It's rarely right adjusted"
During The latest presidential campaign
the South generally ceased lamenting the
cruhxion of silver and bemoaned the
creation of the rapacious trust. And now
it coddles and nurses and rejoices in the
formation by cotton planters of a combi-
nation, with all the instincts and purposes
OF a trust, to limit production and en-
hance price. Texas, while the spasn was
on, enacted a stringent law against
trusts in general and the Standard Oil in
particular. Not content with mere en-
actment, the officers of that trust were
indie ed and efforts were actually made
to get Mr. Rockefeller extraiited.
Then oil was struck in Texas. Spout
ers' were playing up thei1 oil by the
thousand barrels per diem. About the
same time oil was found in Arizona and
California. Texan opinion about trusts
underwent the usual change. The
Standard Oil was quite as heinous an af-
fair as ever, but competition in ToXas
and the other oil regions was a bad thing
SO we have the Honorable Robert A.
Greer, member of the Texan aggrega-
ton of wisdom, introducing bill au-
thorizing the consolidation of oil COM
panles in thai state in California and
Arizona, with capitalization Of bill
ion do lars, or one Of the Texas companies
only with half that amount. This does
not indicate that Texas has changed It's
mind relative to the badness OF trusts,
but merely that it has one, or the making
of one of its own; an ''infant industry

MODEL FARMHOUSES.

REV. SHELDCN-DRAMATIST.

PEV. SHELDON, Of Topeka, Kansas,
well and favoraply known for his
many ideas-the man who conducted the
Topeka Capital for one week as a model
duct a Christian theater.
The idea of Mr. Sheldon is to have a
play SO written and so staged that none
but good characters shall appear, the
villain as we'll as the dirt is to be elm
mated. Life shall be represented in its
ideal Christian purity. There will be
no kissing allowed on the stage except
where the marriage ceremony has been
duly performed. The deeper passions of
life, those which lead to jealousy, hatred
and crime will find no place in the re-
generated drama. Specialties such as
slIirt-dancing and dancing without skirts
will be strictly tabooed. Slang will find
no place in the lines Of Deacon Feather
weight and Sister Jones as they hold the
enrapt attention of the congregation
by an exhibition of PlatOnic affection.
Not only is the drama itself to be reno
waited and Duilt on Christian lines, but
the church is to be both advance agent
and manager. The companies are to be
made up from the lambs of the flock.
We presume that a manager with one of
Sheldon's plays to stage, will enter a
PRAYER meeting. and takinu q front seat
will make notes of the various degrees
of dramatic ability shown by the young
