SPANISH c1A1us ooumrssron.

When upon the retirement of John
Mckinley appointed his Ohio neighbor
William R. Day, to fill the vacancy, he
committed the common error of allow
ing his personal feelings to warp his
judgment in an important matter of state.
Mr.. Day, no doubt, was fine gentleman.
but he came to his high Office totally
unprepared for its duties and responsible
ties. few months sufficed to demon
strate his incapacity; but In the mean
time he had become a political charge
and had to be cared for by the admin
would have been, not only a personal
humiliation, but a disgrace. Some men
in the presidential chair would have APP
piled heroic measures for the public good.
but Mckinley is not built that way. Mr.
Day must be let down easy, and accord
ingly he was given place on the Paris
peace commission. charged with the ne
gotiation Of treaty with Spain, with
whom we were then at wal, Of the per-
sonnet of that commission It Is unneces-
sary to speak. further than to remark
that, although majority enjoyed con-
siderable political popularity, none was
known for his knowledge of international
law or his ability as a diplomat. The
work Of the commission shows the un-
wisdom IF tha SaJeo+;oo g., - 49,.

such important questions, SO signally fail
ed to provide for future contingencies
The commission seemed totally blind to
the future The members seemed to act
under the impression that, sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof; the future
was loft to take care of itself. It is true
that the commission was hampered by
idiotic instructions from Washington.
which We're inconsistent and contradtc
tory. The government had no policy and
the commission was unable or unwilling
to create one, and draw the treaty in
conformity with it.
OF the sins of this commission. both ac-
tive and passive. as shown in the test
of the convention known as the treaty
OF Paris, We will select for comment but
one, which is embodied In article VII.
The article reads: The United States and

CUBAN ELECTORAL BILL.

The Cuban constitutional convention, in
its capacity of a legislative body, has
passed bill providing for the practical
election machinery Of the new republic.
The bin provides for universal suffrage
and defines the qualifications necessary
to hold Office in the cases not provided
in the original Graft of the const tuition.
Thirty days after the PRONUNCIATION of
the constitution the presidential election
is to take place. To be eligible to that
high Office the candidate must be at least
forty years old and native or a natur-
allied citizen of Cuba. If the latter, he
must have served ten years in the Gu
ban armies in their fight for iudepend-
ence. This last provision was intro
duced to render Gen. Gomez eligible.
The election and registration boards
provided for will be elected eight days
after the PRONUNCIATION of the electoral
law This electoral machinery must he
set in motion under the military authori y
of the United States. and that authority
must continue to uphold the arm of ths
new government until the new machinery
is seen to be running smooth.
Should none of the candidates for presi-
dent receive a majority of the electoral
votes, then the convention which VIII re-
main in session TO count the ballo 8 and
see the new ship well launched, will
elect from among those voted for a presi-
dent. If this contingency should hap
pen, Cen Gomez will be chosen as he
has the convention by at least enc vote.
This was shown in the vote on the con-
stitutional provision to make foreign
born citizen eligible, providing he had
served ten years fighting for liberty It
is difficult to create the entire machinery
and start government from the bot
tom. The American fathers had a COM
paratively easy task as they had thir-
teen well regulated local govelnmcn ts to
start with. All they had to do was to
secure from these sovereign states SUE
fcient concessions to make up a ma
tional government.
The new national government, under
the articles Of confederation and later
under the constitution did not interfere
with the ttme-honored local laws. The
foundation was we'll laid and had en-
dured for years, 1t was the superstruc-
ture alone that had to be erected. In
Cuba, it is the lack of foundation that
will give trouble An attempt is made
to erect a superstructure with the ml!-
tary occupation of foreign nation as
base. 1t may be done. but the job will
be attended by more than ordinary DIFF
ticulties.

increased enjoyment of life by large
proportion Of MS fellow citizens. He is
of the temperament which enables him
to appreciate the respect and thankful
ness which found such liberal expression
on the part of the people in the past
few months and which found it's consum-
nation in the ceremonials of transfer.
We congratulate the doctor, but much
more the community which enjoys the
services of such man in it's official
life and whose citizenship is adorned by
so grand an embodiment of civil devo-
ton. The work he mas done is not only
for the benefit of the poor, as so many
of those who are usually out of touch
with the feelings or aspirations of the
poor tell us so frequently and so glibly.
1t is to the gain of the community at
large, and, as DR.. Ohage himself sug-
gested in mis- brief address, the island
is now a place where the child of the
millionaire and the child Of the laborer
may meet on a perfect plane in the pur-
suit of the common human impulse of
health and enjoyment.
Hereafter let no person be heard re-
ferring to the scene of all this public
benefaction by any other designation
than that of Ohage island.

RUssIAs AWAKENING.

I once travelled for more than thou
sand miles in far Eastern waters on
Russian emigrant transport, where con-
yicts were huddled together in the for
ward hold, Cosacks amidship, and the
emigrants aft, says A. H. Ford in the
August, Century. When the ship drew

peasants VINO had settled in the province
year or two previously came to meet
the latest arrivals from little Russia, the
contrast between the unkempt, sluggish
creatures aboard ship and the bright ac-
tive men on the wharf was striking, even
impressive. The newcomers, practically
slaves, the children of slaves, accustom-
ed for centuries to huddle together by
families in a single room. like so many
sheep in a pen, and forbidden by law
to wander beyond the confines of the
village mir, were still dazed; their COM
pressed intellects could not yet take i'll
anything unconnected with the vast
stretches about the homes they had left
1000 miles behind at the command of
the car The entire mir had received
word to move on. There was no word of
murmur or complaint, and so far as I
could discover, not one ray of hope or
spark of curiosity inspired these emf
grants on their way to a new nome and
broader life. But about the men on the
4A0IS was uOlnlItS VI TIC Sl14AoS
sleepy Russian muzhik about these far
Eastern farmers who had learned the use
of modern agricultural machinery, and
even hired Manchu coolies the year round
to bear the burden Of the hardest and
most mental labor. Realizing by COM
parison that they were no longer the
lowest beings in the scale of humanity,
the restrained mirth and suppressed free
dom of centuries seemed bursting forth.
Right and left these freedmen piled their
whips, letting the lash fall indiscrinlin-
ately upon the shoulders of the coolies,
just as IN like manner others had for
generations demonstrated their superior
fty over them. The muzhik was learn
ing his lesson, that was all. and once the
Russian muzhik begins to acquire knowl-
edge, his thirst for enlightenment be-
comes all consuming.
The peasants who were landing, I was
assured would not long be content to re-
main more ignorant than the careless
Koreans, and this found on better ac-
quaintance to be quite true. Almost
every condition of Russian life can be
studied side by side in this new region,

THE BIRTH OF THE MOON.

Harper's Magazine.
The earth revolves on its axis once in
tWenty-four hours. Millions Of years
ago the day was twenty-five hours: mill
ions of years before, it wes twenty-one
hours. AS we look backward into time
we find the earth revolving faster and
faster. There was a time ages ago. long
before geology times, when the earth
was rotating in day Of five or six
hours in length. In the remotest past
the earth revolved in a day of about five
hours. 1t could revolye no faster than
this and remain a single, unbroken mass.
1t was at this time that the moon was
born, separated, broken off from the DE-,
rent mass Of the earth. The earth was
then molten hattened sphere of lava.
Its whole body was fluid. The tides,
which now are small, superficial. and
so to say local, were then universal and
immense. They occurred at short inter
walls. The whole surface of our globe
was affected. And the corresponding lu-
mar tides In the fluid molten moon were
indefinitely greater still
Our day is now twenty-four hours: the
distance OF the moon is now 10000 miles.
When our day was about five hours long
the moon was in contact with the earth-s
surface 1t had just broken away from,
its parent mass. AS the length Of the
lance Of the moon. The two quantities

II one varies, so must the other. When
ever the rotation time OF a planet Is
shorter than the period of revolution Of
It's satellite the effect of their mutual
action Is TO accelerate the motion OF the
satellite and to force It TO move in
larger orbit-to increase it's distance,
therefore.
The day OF the earth Is row shorter
than the month-the period OF revolution
of the moon. The moon Is therefore
slowly receding from US, and IL mas been
receding for thousands of centuries. But
the day of the earth Is, az we have seen,
slowly growing longer. The finger 81

rim of our huge fly wheel. and slowly
but surely lessening the speed OF It's ro-
tation. So long as the terrestrial day
is shorter than the lunar month the moon
will continue to recede from us.

present treaty, including all claims for

To carry out this remarkable provision
congress created what it calls Span

ing of five persons Ito be appointed by

politicians) whose salary is to be s., 900
per year and whose term of office is for
life unless the matters be sooner dis

er at a salary of $1,000 each, secretary
at $500, an assistant attorney general
at 5000, two assistant attorneys general
at 2,4G0, a clerk and interpreter for the
attorney general each $1,S0O, besides mes
sengers, stenographers. etc. The ap-
preparation of $50, COO made by congress
for the commission will be disbursed be-
fore the court is ready to dispose of the
first claim. This Is just the financial
sequel to that remarkable article VII.
We have here an American body passing
on claims against Spain. We have
tribunal created by a guarantor of an
obligation empowered to pass upon the
validity of the obligation itself
This remarkable court at the head of
which is the no less remarkable ex-Sen-
ator Chandler, insists upon taking cog
nizance of all claims arising within the
limitation of the said article, whether
they have been settled by the state de-
partment or not. The claims may have
arisen at the north pole, in India, 81
IBERIA or in Central Africa; nevertheless
this commission assumes Jurisdiction. 1t
Is undoubtedly preparing to perpetuate
itself and will encourage all kinds of
litigation against the United States. The
raising Of the Maine will be a signal for
damage cases without number from the
friends and relatives of the poor fellows
who were killed on that memorable oc-
casion. This might have been adjusted
automatically and lump sum collected
from Spain (for Spain was liable whether
the ship was blown up by Spanish
authority or Cuban insurgents) and dis
trihuted among the beneiciaries by this
government
There is likely to be sharp conflict
between the state department and the
Chandler commission. The next con-
gress should abolish the commission,
but such a contamination need not be ex-
pected While the Republican machine
is in power. This little patronage
scheme will cost the taxpayers 100000
per year. 1t is however the sequel of
but one of the minor plumbers made by
the five amateur diplomats who were
charged with the nations interests at
Paris.
