BUFFOON DIPLOMACY.

The administrations efforts to rem
edy its mistakes in dealing with the
Cubans are as bungling as the mis-
takes. The Cubans might easily have
been placated and all the concessions
this government desires gotten from
them without trouble if wisely and
kindly dealt with in the beginning. 1t
is poor time for diplomatic effort after
their suspicious of our intentions have
been fully aroused and more than half
justified. 1t is a particularly absurd
species of diplomacy that Mr. Mckinley
has resorted to to lull the suspicious of
these most suspicious of people.
proposes to smooth the Cuban commits
sioners the right way and thus make
amends for past mistakes. They are
to be wined and dined and surrounded
with every luxury, dazzled with the
brilliancy of their surroundings and
overwhelmed with every attention and
Establishment.
This might all be well enough and a
wise and shrewd policy to pursue, but
what kind of diplomacy is it that pub
fishes the fact to all the world and
tells these suspicious and sensitive peo-
pie in advance that We propose to try
to bamboozle and Jolly them into our
way of thinking?

Thus do the shrewd Republican lead

When Democrats advocated policies
of this sort these same Republican
leaders raised their hands and voices

Now they see the handwriting on the

JUDGE DENTS CRITICISM.

The Register does not pretend to ex-
press an opinion Of the decision of the
State Supreme Court in the prohibition
proceedings of Prof. ]. w. Hartigan
against the board of regents of the
University, from which opinion Judge
Dent dissents almost in toto, but It
would seem that the court has exhib-
ited toward Judge Dent most remark
able and inexcusable discourtesy, as
may be gathered from the following ex-
pressions of Judge Dent in his open
letter on the subject, which is re-
markable not to say sensational deliv-
erance:
For reasons known only to themselves
my associates denied me knowledge or in
spection of their opinion and syllabus until
the affidavit was handed down or became
public property. This is matter of ju-
dicial courtesy or ethics, and as a learned
judge has said that courtesy is a mere
matter of taste, about which there is no
disputing and from which there is no ap-
peal since ,duelling has been abolished

ferees as he sees proper. according to his

made to repay the millions of money

rule. But never from mine or veldt

the same cause. OF truth it may be
asked
Thou whose wounds are never healed,
whose weary race is never won,
O Cromwelfs England must thou yield

Seventeen thousand lives, of her best
picked men! And it was TO have been

the illimitable uncertainties into which

According to the Satur.ay Review
VIII Lead America an Germany
to War Ultimately.
LONDON, April 26.-The Saturday
Review will say tomorrow that 1.-The
expansion of the German navy is more
in preparation for a contest with the
United States than with Great Britain
because the readiest causes for future
naval conflicts will be found in the
struggle for the partition or the ex-
ploitation of the great South American
continent
The Review devotes a page to a de-
scription of the resources of South
America and Germany's hundreds Of
thousands Of settlers in Brazil and
Chile and the inability of Germany
pursuing her designs in South America
without a conflict with the United
States. The article concludes with the
statement that it would not be good
policy for Great Britain to oppose Ger
many,s legitimate aims, and that an
alliance with the United States that had
for its purpose the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine would not only be
ludicrously in opposition to our own
interests, but it would rightly arouse
every other nation to a death struggle

THINK GOOD WILL FOLLOW.
Officials Believe
Cubans Are Better Satisfied Than
Before Their Visit

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The cabinet
meeting to-day. the last one before the
Presidents departure for the Pacific coast,
was occupied almost exclusively with the
discussion of the visit of the Cuban COM
mission. Secretary Root, who has been
conducting the conferences with the COM
mission, submitted rather extensively an
account Of the interview he had had with
them He told the President and the cab
met of the objections which the commits
sioners raised to the Plat amendment
and of some of the misunderstanding re-
garding 1t under which they seemed to
be laboring.
There was general exchange OF opin-
ion among the members of the cabinet re-
garding the situation, and in the light of
the views expressed, Secretary Root will
hold another conference with the commits
sioners upon their departure. The Pres
ident will not see them again except to
formally bid them farewell While there
are one or two points upon which some
of the members of the commission are
insistent. the general feeling of the cabl-
net, as reflected in their exchange of views
to-day, was that the result of the COM
missions visit could not but be extremely
beneficial in removing erroneous impress

The Cost of the Boer War.

New York Tribune.
The loan of 100000, 900 which Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach is negotiating is
one index of the cost of the Boer war
AS we said the other day, John Bull
will pay the bill. Great as is the
amount required, more than five times
as much has been promptly offered.
There can be no question of the ability
of the British nation to meet the finan-
cial cost of the war And after pay
ing the bills, by increasing the funded
debt, John Bull will resume the pro-
cess of paying off the debt at rapid
rate, as he was doing before this war
There is another cost, however. than
that which appears in the Budget, and
one for which the nation can never be
recouped. A recent return of the War
Office reports the cost of the war in
human flesh and blood down to a
month ago. From this it appears that
the number OF deaths has been 14,72S.

The Empress Dowager Has a Plan

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The fol-
lowing cablegram has been received at

Pekin, dated to-day:
''The Empress Dowager has appoint
ed board of national administration
to relieve her of her public functions
They embrace three members OF the
cabinet now with the Empress at SIAN
Flu and Prince Ching, Viceroy Lii and
Prince Kung, who are now in Pekin :"
This news is regarded as of import
ance, indicating as it does the relin-
quishment by the Empress Dowager of
the arbitrary powers she heretofore has
exercised. 1t also is apparent that she
has placed herself in position TO
avoid direct responsibility to the for
eigners for whatever may happen in the
future the board will have to bear the
brunt of any complaint. 1t is felt that
the appointment of this board will
make it much easier for the foreign
ministers to transact business with the
Chinese government.

A BASE BALL DEVICE.

The New York World offers to base
ball men a device whereby catchers'
signals to their pitchers can be given
with accuracy and absolute secrecy and
which will place all the players on an
equal footing. The plan is simple:
place an electric buzzer in a water
proof case under the pitchers box.
Have a button or spur connected by
wire with the buzzer, barely protrud-
ing above ground near the catchers'
foot. By pressing the spur with his
foot the catcher can telegraph signals
which will be heard by the pitcher
alone and cannot possibly be intercept
ed" The World says:
The electric buzzer legitimately used
would prevent the possibility of any more
scandal like that which ragged around the
Philadelphia club last year.
1t will be remembered that late in the
season Capt. Tommy Corcoran, of the
Cincinnati club, dug up an electric buzz
ger which had. been buried back of first
base on the Philadelphia grounds. Strong
evidence pointed to what had long been
suspected that the Philadelphia Club had
established a secret service bureau for the
purpose of tipping off the visiting club S
battery signals to its own players. Nor
gan Murphy, with a strong field glass,
was traced to a window in the club house
whence he could read the catcher's signs,
transmit them by way of the electric buzz
yer to Pete Chiles on the coaching line,
who in turn let the batter know what sort
of ball was coming.
If buzzer signals delivered to a man on
the coaching line could not be heard by
the first baseman near at hand, the same
sort of signals delivered at the pitcher S
observation. Under the rules just adopted
the catcher must remain within ten feet
of home plate This will keep him always
within easy reach of the signal button.
All this is interesting and ingenious,
but is it true base ball? If we are to
look on at games of base ball played by
the assistance Of machinery, why not
give full scope to artificial aid and in
stead of wearing out a pitchers arm,
why not invent a machine or a gun to
deliver the ball capable of giving even
more speed and all sorts of fancy
shoots, curves and twists?

WHY SHE mustn't RIDE sTRADDLE


The leading editorial in our es-
teemed and able contemporary, the
New York Journal, to hand, is learned
disuuisition on why lovely woman
should not ride horseback straddi.e-
wise. Editor Hearst's remarks are
apropos to the threat of certain "eman-
cipated' females of Brooklyn to take
I'M the latest fad of ultra femininlty OF
Boston and London and appear in the
coming morse show riding man fashion.
Go to any public museum" says Ed
itor Hearst, land look at the statue or
some Greek Venus, for instance, the
Venus known as the Venus Accroupie.'
After studying the Venus. study the
statue of young man. You will dis
cover, to tell the plain truth bluntly,
hat women have round legs and men
nave fiat legs. A man thus holds the
side of horse firmly and secures a
good seat riding astride. 1t is difficult,
if not impossible, for woman to hold
he horse firmly She sits there strad-
dle-wise with a very slight grip on the
horse. If he stops suddenly, Or misbe-
haves, she goes over his head and hurts
herself"
So there you are, ladies, confronted
with the reason why you can't straddle
a horse with safety. You're not built
that way You cant grip the horse
like a man with his fiat legs because
yours are not fat, and therefore the
saddle with its pommel is necessary
to give you firm seat. Editor Hearst
dle-riding faddists:
No Venus was ever intended to ride
horseback as men ride.
If any woman succeeds in riding strad-
1le fashion really we'll, it will simply prove
that she is no Venus and that she is not
manufactured according to the beautiful
classic model
We presume that this plain statement of
facts will check woman's mania for rid
ing unnaturally in clothes pin fashion.
Women may as we'll know first as last
that there are some things they cannot
do.
They can't ride straddle-wise because
their legs are too round.
They can't throw a stone at a hen sue
cessfully because their shoulders are con-
structed in a way that lets them carry
baby without fatigue and makes it i'm
possible for them to swing the arm freely
OF course, no woman ought to want to
throw stone at a hen since both are
mothers, or may be, but that is a moral
question and has nothing to do with beau
ty
No woman could be a very good run
ner or jumper.
This is due to the way in which her
knees are made, and that particular for
nation in its turn is part of the intelli-
gent plan connected with functions of
maternity.
Women, you would despise men if they
tried to do everything that is done by
their interiors, the monkeys.
A monkey compared to a man is hid
eous. He can do things that man can't
do-for instance he can hang from a limb
by one foot.
A man is hideous compared to a woman
and can do things which woman can't
do.
