and the United States, allowing to Spain a nominal supremacy, with authority only to keep the peace among them, leaving them otherwise all the powers of self-gov- ernment, until their experience in them, their emancipation from their priests, and advancement in information shall prepare them for complete independence.' Unfor- tunatelythat wise policy was not carried out, and from that day to the present the history of the South American republics has been one long record of revolution, punctuated with truces of peace and order maintained at the point of the bayonet.
 Do not these quotations prove that Pres ident Mckinley and his administration are doing what Jefferson and his adminlstra- tion would have done under the same cir cumstances? The third President would have saved the Spanish colonies from themselves, and not let them go until they had demonstrated that they could be intrusted to walk alone. In the same way Cuba must be saved from herself and put on the certain road to absolute se- curety and independence The constitu- ton she has adopted does not hold out that certainty. It is not the constitution Congress declared should be framed, and in carrying out the command of the legis- lative department of tho government, the administration simply executes the will of the majority of the American people. He could not do less than he has done, and both he and Congress are in strict &C., cord with Jeffersonian doctrine so far as 1t can be applied to the Cuban situation.

BEAVERS ATTACK A BIG DAM.
View of Animals at Work Obtained by
 Mill Men in Maine.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Horace Frost, one of the Berlin Mills company's superintendants, had the gates of the dam above Kentucky Falls, Maine, hoisted the other day to let the water out. When he did so he noticed beaver on the other side of the dam busly at work cutting 12x12 timber used as a brace.
 The crew of twenty-five of thirty men were called to witness the unusual sight, for it Is asserted that beavers will never work in sight of human beings. The crowd watched the industrious little fel- low as he first gave his uppercuts and then his undercuts, and then, if the chips did not fall he would take hold of it with both sets of teeth
 MT. Frost went down to where the ani- mai was working, but the beaver stood his ground, and when Frost backed away the beaver gave chase. The beaver next went under a pile of brush.
 When one of the men went down to dis cover where the animal had disappeared and got on his hands and knees to look under the brush the beaver charged from the rear. The man took to his heals and never stopped till he was on top of the dam.
 After this the beaver went away and in a short time came back with number of others, who joined in the task of cutting away the timbers. They were driven away but left rather reluctantly.
 The high water, which was running some ten feet over the dam before the gates were raised, had evidently driven the colony of beavers from their homes, and they had reasoned out the problem and were going to clear away the ob- struction. This is the second time beavers have attempted to demolish this dam.

From the New York World
 Perpetually challenge cup for com petition between foreign countries.
 This is the description of the Amer ica's cup put by the owners of the America and the winners of the cup into the deed of gift making the New York Yacht Club its trustee
 Not for competition between a for eign country and the New York Yacht Club, but for competition between a foreign country and America-all America, regardless of geographical or social position, subject only to such rules as shall insure proper defense of the cup.
 The New York Yacht Club is exclud- ing MT. Lawson's boat by petty techni- calities which it created and therefore which it can brush away.
 Do the present members of the club wish tJ make foreigners, and Ameri- cans as well, look upon these cup races Us little social, private affairs of no significance as test of our national skill at yachting? Do they wish to discourage American interest in yacht ing, American pride in the defense of the cup, American enterprise in build ing and sailing yachts?
 If so, let them keep to their present course. If not. let them end now and forever the unfortunate impression which their pettiness has created.
