Cuba's Harm and Cuba's Good.

After all, it is possible, is it not that
those among us who say the time for max
ing Cuba independent hasn't come yet
may believe what they say, and may be
determined that Cuba shall be made indie
pendent at what they think the earliest
moment practicable. What is the harm
i'm giving us the benefit of this possibility ?
10 talk as if the President and all who
agree with him are liars and promise
breakers does not incline these gentlemen
to listen to what you say, and upon the
Cubans it is certain to have the worst kind
of effect. If the Cubans listen to the Pres
ident's opponents, and believe what they
hear, they will come to the conclusion
that most Americans intend TO disregard
the Teller resolution, that the few Amerl'
cans who say this resolution ought to be
diregarded represent the whole people.
Isn't it rather pity to try to make the
Cubans believe that any difference of opln-
ion between the United States Govern
ment and themselves, as to the date OF In
dependence, is proof positive that the
United States has no idea of making them
independent at all In this country the
anti.imperialists cannot do much harm

The Origin of Baseball.

Harper's Weekly.
The origin Of baseball-our national
game-is not definitely known, but the
first club organized to play it was in New
York in 1915. Singulary enough, this
club, like the one first organized to pro-
mote rowing, was called 1.-THE Knicker-
booker Club" After 1851 other amateur
baseball clubs began to organize, includ-
ing the Atlantic, Mutual, Union, ETC. In
1857 a convention of delegates from six
teen clubs in and around New York and
Brooklyn was held. About ten years
later, at the annual convention of the
National Association in 1866, two hun
dred and two clubs from seventeen states
and District of Columbia were represent
ed. The college baseball associations were
started about 1862 or '63. Amateur
base ball throughout the United States was
at its height in the years 1865, '06 and 49,.
Professional baseball was recognized in
1868, and the first games were played in
1869.

A VICIOUS PROPOSITION.

Now that the time for holding the con-
stitutional convention has been fixed and
the number CT delegates determined, it Is
timely to call attention to the motive
which has influenced the Democratic
leaders in their opposition to or advocacy
of the convention. From a close study of
the general expression of opinion made by
the press or leaders of the. party, for or
against the convention, the conclusion
must be reached that the success of the
Democratic party was the first and highest
consideration of those who advocated the
convention movement as well as those
who opposed. In other WORDS, there was
q difference of opinion as to how the
adoption of a new constitution would
affect The future interests Of the Demo
cratic party. Those who advocated the
convention did so with the avowed pur-
nose of changing the suffrage law so as to
strengthen the party. Those who opposed
the convention did so with the ayowal
that an abridgement of the right OF suf-

THE PARSON AND THE SKIPPER.
Baltimore Sun.

Mr.. John r. Rogers, who has charge of
the Baltimore Red Cross Society celebra-
ton to be held at the Music Hall on the
night of December 81, is somewhat of
traveller. He says that he has been around
the world five times and has crossed the
Atlantic forty six times.
Mr.. Rogers says that in going around
the world there is scarcely one traveller In
a hundred who remembers that in going
from east to west a day is gained, end that
going from west to east day is lost. Many
of those who come into contact with this
truth knew all about it when they were in
school, but never think of it when on the
high seas. In illustration of the point he
tells this story:
"My first trip around the world was
from England to Australia. Out in the
middle of the Pacific sign was
put, announcing that the date was
Thursday, July IL. This was all right,

again. This was an opportunity for those
of us who thought we were real wise to
show the ships officers that they were not
infallble. After we had expended our
choicest sarcasm, and had been rebuffed
by various officers, the captain set us
straight
"On'my way back one day the card
went up announcing that it was Saturday,
August 10. The next day the sign said
Monday, August 10. Two ministers on
board thought the captain somewhat
profane old salt, who had skipped day
to avoid the religious services which they
had prepared. He convinced them that
it was a mere coincidence that on that
particular date the lost day was Sunday.
Since then | have never attempted to
teach the ships navigator his business,
and be can skip century, if he wishes,
without my saying word"

A VIRGINIA D'ARTAGNAN.
st. Louis Republic.

ST. Louis Republic.
When the final reports shall be made in
the matter Of the investigation of hazing
outrages at West Point it will be a great
pity if some sort of decoration, or at least
an honorable mention, is not provided for
former Cadet Writ Robinson, of Virginia,
now captain of artillery in the United
States army.
This young Robinson is the renowned
cadet who was never hazed, for the simple
but sufficient reason that lie refused to be
hazed, and then whipped all members of
the upper class who tried to punish him
for refusing. 1t is to the young Virgin
ian's credit as "scrapper" that he licked
some thirty of these upper class men be-
fore they were persuaded to leave him
alone. And il is to the credit of the up
per class, at least, as to its discretion, that
it then left Cadet Robinson, of Virginia,
severely alone.
For many years now we have all wor-
shipped d Artagnan, of the "Three Musk
eteers," because his famous triple chal-
lenge to Athos, Porthos and Aramis and
his entire and cheerful willingness to fight
either the Kings or the cardinals men at
the drop of hat during the period of
virtual hazing in the good cd days. But
what's the matter with young Robinson,
of Virginia, as an American DArtagnan
of considerable impressiveness ? He is the
heroic figure which comes out solitary and
alone from the unpleasant hurly.burly Of
the West Point scandal.

SNOW IN LOS ANGELES.
Only One Other Snowfall Is Recorded IN
The California Clty's History.
Los Angeles Herald.

Los Angeles Herald.
Many people saw snow fall in Los An
geles yesterday the 18th for the first time
in their lives. Some bad never seen it
fall anywhere before, and many amusing
sights were witnessed on the streets. Peo-
pie ran ont of doors and tried to secure
some of the precious flakes.
"Look at it now ~
"Isn't that fine %
Oh, just look at it !"
These were some of the EXPLANATIONS
heard.
Snow commenced falling in the city at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and con-
tinued for about fifteen minutes in some
parts of the city. In the southern part OF
the city three. quarters of an inch fell, and
one enthusiast rolled a snow ball a foot in
diameter. Wel.developed hailstones also
fell in some parts of the city. The snow
was due to the uncommonly low tempera-
ture, which prevailed at the time. AT
noon the thermometer registered 43 de-
grees.
The snow storm is not unprecedented
here. On January ~, 1882, at 6 O'Clock
in the morning, snow commenced falling
and continued until 8 O'Clock. A few
scattering flakes fell until l o'clock, when
the snow turned to rain. Six one-hun-
dredths of an inch of melted snow and
rain was measured. Snow has frequently
fallen in the foothills, but these two Incl
dents are the only ones on record at the
local weather bureau of snow in the city.

frage would be disastrous to Democracy
in Virginia.
The convention question was submitted
to the people last May, without due notice,
under the provisions of an Act which was
partial unfair and dishonest. The Act
was so framed az to give every possible adj
vantage to those who were friendly to the
convention and to embarrass and defeat
those who were opposed to it, After the
election it was declared that the conven-
ton had been ordered by the people,
when, in fact, less than one.ffth of the
qualified voters in Virginia had voted
''for the convention"
In compliance with the order of the
sovereign people (?) Governor Tyler by
proclamation called the Legislature to-
gether on the 23rd of January i'll extra
session, for the purpose of fixing the time
for holding the convention and determin'
ing the number of delegates.
During this session of the General AS
sembly much has developed to strengthen
our conviction that the paramount question
IN dealing with the convention matter was
to so arrange matters that the Democracy
would not be injured by the adoption OF
new constitution. The apportOnment OF
delegates and the discussion Of the ques
ton of the submission of the new consti'
tuition TO the people for ratification were
very suggestive of the purposes OF the
different factions. The most vicious pur-
pose that was disclosed during the consid'
Grafton of these questions was that, of not
submitting the constitution to the people
for ratification. We were surprised to see
that this proposition was upheld by Sen
ator John W. Daniel, who had for the
champion of the scheme Carter Glass,
editor of the Lynchburg News and mem
Der of the State Senate. Those who were
opposed to submitting tie constitution to
the people contended that if it had to be
submitted, only those who are permitted
to vote by the provisions Of the new con
stitution ought to be allowed to vote on ils
adoption. No more vicious scheme was
ever devised to take from a vast number
Of citizens vested right There were
enough men in the Legislature actuated
either by fear or principle to prevent
Senator Glass and others from executing
their revolutionary purpose of suggesting
to the convention that it shall frame a
new constitution and not submit it to the
people, or to submit it to an abridged
electorate.
The question now, is, what will the con-
ventou do? There are those who contend
that the convention will be supreme. In
view Of such a contention 1t will be well
for the people to be on their guard and
make all candidates for the convention
speak out unequivocally as to whether
they are for submitting the constitution to
the people-to all the people.

Democratic Criticism of Bryan.
Mobile Register (Dem)

Mobile Register Dem)
Mr.. Bryan's effort to discuss an eco
nomic question is pitiable. If he has ever
comprehended the principles Of economic
science he keeps that fact carefully con-
ceacd. All of bis fanciful augmentation
we will not dignity it by calling it argu'
ment-would be blown into mist by any
recognition on his part of the absolute, in
disputabe truth that the silver dollar,
since the passage of the act standardizing
the gold dollar, is nothing more than tok-
en- money. He says if the conversion of
silver dollars into subsidiary coin is con-
tinued gold will be the only legal tender
money and bank paper the only ere dit
money. The fact that gold is the only
money now existent does not seem to
have received his attention. All other
forms that are called money are mere
promises to pay gold, and therefore tokens
of gold. That any man in his senses
should object to the redemption of silver
dollars in gold, when gold is the only
standard and actual value, would be
amazing if we did not remember that Mr..
Bryan was leader Of political faction
that hopes to make campaign upon the
false issue that greenback, silver coins and
other tokens are real money, or, in other
words, "the money of the people," The
people, however, need and want the best
money going, and will not follow Mr..
bryan far in his effort to set up an imagin-
airy standard Of value.
