The Cuban Republic.

Conditions i'm Cuba have not been
much improved since the Americans
took control of affairs, and since they
are now free to manage their own af-
fairs the question arises as to their
ability to maintain selfgOvernment.
The experiment will be watched with
much interest. In this case it is
worthy experiment, but if you are
sickly it IS not advisable to expert
ment with any of the nlanYssp-called
health restorers that have no merit.
The only way to recover your health
is to perfect the digestion, keep the
bowels open and the blood pure. For
this purpose you cannot find a better
or more reliable medicine than Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Try it for
heartburn, belching, Indigestion. dys-
pepsia, constipation, biliousness or
malaria, fever and ague. 1t never
fails to cure.

Bragg and the Pig Tail.

The view which Consul-General
Bagg is said to take of his pigs tail
and whistle epigram about the Cuban
people is that having been uttered in
private letter it concerns neither
the American public nor the govern
ment of the nation which was the
subject of Gen. Bragg's contemptuOus
comments.
The same thing. might have been
said of Minister Enrique Dupuy de
Lome's memorable epistle to Senior
Canaljes, wherein the writer's con-
temptuous opinion of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley was expressed in Ian
guage which no American could re-
gard as anything but insulting to
the whole country. De LONE had
never expected that his offensive
words would go beyond the person
to whom the letter was addressed.
1t was a personal opinion and a pri-
vileged communication as long as it
went no further. The Spanish min
lister was in no way responsible for
the publication of the insult. Wheth
er that publication was the result
of treachery or the sequel of theft,
Senior De LONE was himself the vic
tim of an outrage.
Nevertheless, the circumstance of
Senior De Lome's own grievance or
misfortune did not affect in the
slightest degree his position and re-
sponsibility after the publication.
His only possible defense was n de-
NAL of authorship. and that he could
not make. Personal or official, pri-
waite and confidential or intended for
the widest publicity, the letter con-
tanning the insult was published and
the medium by which it reached the
public became a matter of no con-
sequence to anybody butts himself.
The Spanish minister's position in
this country at once became unten-
able. Our government promptly de-
manded his recall. He anticipated
the inevitable action at Madrid by re-
signing. If he had not departed vol
unfairly. or had not been recalled by
his own government, our department
of state would have sent him his pass
port within a very few hours.
| Why should we expect or hope that
the Cuban people. Justly indignant
because the representative of this re-
public as consul-general at Havana
is writing home insulting remarks
about their capacity for self-ogevrn-
ment. will take view of Gen. Bragg S
responsibility for his private letters
any different from that which the
American people held in the case of
| Dupuy de Lone?
The easiest solution of the deplor-
able affair viii be. as the New York
sun suggests. for Gen. Bragg
friends to persuade him to resign
and come home. In no event will he
have the support of public opinion
in this country

LittIefeId and Henderson.

\ Washington dispatch tells us that
the statement that Representative
Littlefield of Maine would be a can
didate for speaker of the next house,
in the event that the republicans Sc
cure control, has stirred the friends
of General Henderson to protest.
Colonel Hepburn of Iowa says en-
phatically that General Henderson
will be reelected.
Il cannot of course pretend to
know what Mr.. 'Littlefield's ambitious
are" he said, ''but he-seems to have
an energetic and Industrious press
agent who is keeping him before the
public. L do believe, however, that L
can predict that the house will re-
elect General Henderson to the
speakership. General Henderson is
personally very popular, and he is al
ways in line with his party. Not only
is this the case, but ! do not remem-
Der an instance where a speaker has
been turned down by the republican
party.
"The democrats once substituted
Carlisle for Randall. but that was due
to fractional fight in the party over
the tariff. AS for General Henderson,
he has naturally excited some ami
mostly because he has not allowed
Everybody to do everything that was
asked, but on the whole he has ex-
ercised his power with great tact and
the least amount of friction.
you must remember, too, that he
is not tyrant. He has not usurped
power. All the authority which he
exercises has been given him by the
house and can be taken away from
him by the house if the latter so de-
cides. Personally, / do not see why
a speaker should want so much pow
err, but as the house gives it to him,
1 suppose he is not to blame for ex-
ercising it,

Now comes the Boer looking for
horses and mules, not for war but
for the cultivation of his long-neg-

in South Africa for sheep and cattle

live stock during the war for sub
sistence and were unable to care for
their remaining herds or their crops.
