Gen. Wood and the Cubnns.
From the Boston Transcript.


If we accepted the blasphemous brutal

of few extremist members of the Cuban
convention. and the inSinuatiOns Of certain
Havana editors as representing the opin-
ion the people of Cuba entertain Of Gen.
Wood We should be constrained to regard
them as race of ingrates. No man who
has ever governed Cuba has rendered it's
people so many benefits as Gen. Wood has
conferred on them.
The government Of Cuba Is wholly mill
tary. Every law that is in operation ex-
lists by virtue of a military order. Even
the very constitutional convention which
is now apparently defiant of Gen.
Woods suggestions was called into exist
ence by military order. Gen. Wood, it
will be seen. would not have exceeded the
authority of his post had he sent the carl
caturist before military commission, but
his moderation was probably the wisest
course. The eagle does not feed on flies,
nor the lion on polecats.
For the real Cuban opinion concerning
Gen. Wood we must go outside the circle
of Havana politics. and we shall probably

The. question OF the behavior of the Penn

filing of claims at Harrisburg by certain
Washingt onians who feel themselves to

it has become in a measure part of the life
of the people. The average of personal
honesty cannot remain high when the
chance of winning a rich stake is forever
being thrust temptinsly upon the notice of
young man.4-The impulse to borrow
from trust funds is constantly present. The
high pressure of metropolitan life suggests
ventures more or less legitimate. Every

have started with small capitals attract
him toward the game. Through few dol
lars risked on horse race or card game
or policy slip the impecunious youth, the
small-salaried clerk, the modest tradesman,

which eventually he will become a money

many parts Of Washington. What could be
done in New York satisfactorily ought
surely to be susceptible of successful OF
local application. The amount of refuse
is much smaller and the facilities for han
ding are better. There should be no dumps
here within range of habitations. The ash
disposal system should be extended and
perfected until the city through it's own
agents or contractor. collects every
pound of stove refuse and disposes of the
mass in a sanitary manner. It is false
charity to spread 1T upon the commons for
the poor negroes to pick over for the sake
of fuel, while perhaps disease germs are
scattered broadcast through the neighbour
hood from the miscellaneous refuse mixed
with the ashes.

City Refuse Disposal.

Closer attention must soon be paid to the
matter or disposing of the city's refuse
Progress has been made during the past
few years in the treatment of garbage and
the community has little to ask In this d.
rection now. The attempt to regulate the
collection of ashes has not proved the
success expected. owing to the restricted
scope of the municipal contractor Now
the matter of the public dumps is in evt-
dence in a manner to suggest that there
is wide field for reform here which is
we'll worth the attention of the Commits
sioners and through them of Congress next
winter. The other day the president of
the Gallaudet College complained that the
grounds of that institution were constantly
visited by scraps of dirty paper blown from
a dumping ground at the corner of Florida
avenue and Brentwood road. In view of
the well-known tendency OF disease to
spread through refuse 1t is not reassuring
to find that the winds sweep far abroad the
lighter materials promiscuously scattered
over these dumping places. Since Dr. Gal
'laudet's complaint was filed Superintendent
Meredith of the bureau of engraving and
printing has asked the Commissioners for
permission to deposit the empty ink cans
from his establishment at some dump
nearer than the Eastern branch.
Why should not the capital city possess
an up-to-date refuse disposal plant such as
is maintained in some other cities? New
York has experimental successfully In this
line. Under the late Col. Warning at least
one such plant was established and run for
a year or so profitably. Whether 1t has

from the heaps. Use was found for very

Harmony seems to make no Roadway in
the ranks of the democracy Do the lead
ers really want harmony, are they mere
1y talking about it Take the case of Da-
vid B. Hill. How much is he contributing
to harmony? In a recent letter to demo-
cratic club in Baltimore he declared in sub
stance against the whole of the Chicago
platform, and was promptly lectured for 1t
by Mr.. Bryan. He has now offended Mr.
Clevelauds friends by ignoring the ex-
President in running over the list of the
greater names with which the democracy
cCnjtres in campaign years and for cam
paign purposes Why did he do that If
harmony is his object? Why mention JEFF
ferson. Jackson, and Tilden and omit the
name of Cleveland?
This is an old trick the part Of the
anti-Cleveland men. Mr.. Tiden is the
greatest democrat in their eyes since Hora-
ito Seymour. and they always use his name
when desiring to indicate their lack of
appreciation of Mr.. Cleveland They in
varisbly chara cterze him as great states
man, great party organizer and manager
great political writer, and an alI-round
great man.
We grant all that. reply the Cleveland
men, but. in a national sense, what is this
know what Cleveland democracy is. be-
cause Mr. Cleveland was twice President
of the United States and laid down and
adhered to certain lines of policy. He made
history while serving in national office
But Mr. Tilden never held national office
AS an executive he never got higher than
the governorship of New York When you
speak of Tilden democracy as applied to
New York affairs we know what you mean
You mean anti-Tweed, and clean state and
city government. But there is no such
thing as a national Tilden democracy
There might have been if Mr. Tilden had
insisted on taking the office of President
to which he had been elected. Why did
he allow the republicans to deprive him of
the fruits of that victory?'
This is the spirit that Mr. Hill stirs IN
when he puts Mr. Tilden forward at Mr.
Cleveland's expense. The temptation, it is
true. is strong. Not only is Mr. Hill lack
ing in appreciation of Mr. Cleveland. but
he has reasons for being devoted to the
memory of Mr.. Tilden. He was one of Mr.
Tilden's boys in New York politics. and
regarded by Mr.. Tilden as the most prom
is1ng of the lot. His guide and mentor pre-
dicted his success. 1t is probably true, too,
that Mr.. Tilden would have much preferred
MI. Hill for President to Mr.. Cleveland OF
the latter he was never fond. and on one
occasion spoke of him in terms of severe
criticism. Still, this sort of history does
not make for harmony, and why should
Mr.. Hill bring it In?
