CUBA THEN AND NOW.
Marvellous Changes wrought in Four
short Years.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
To appreciate the meaning Of the plans
laid for May 20 one must call to mind the
conditions aud circumstances which have
existed in Cuba for the last four or FIVE
years. Five years ago Cuba was devas-
tated through a protracted guerrilla war
fare waged in liberty's name by a modest
army Of dauntless patriots. The United
States assumed the burden OF freeing the
island from Spanish tyranny, and in three
months we accomplished more than had
Cuba in a century Of sporadic war and
rebellion. We made freedom a fact, and
guaranteed the early attainment OF ma
tional independence. Here our original
duty ended, but to have withdrawn would
have been criminal. There was at that
time neither order nor government In the
island. All was chaos, with the ultra
radicals In control and inviting to extreme
measures and policies. To have turned the
reins of government over to this element
and gone away leaving 1t to work out the
islands salvation would have been an act
more heartless and cruel than failure to
interfere, since it would have invoked the
ruin OF Cuba at the hands OF her own loyal
but inexperienced people.

Experts on the witness stand.
Brooklyn Eagle

DTVUhTyH LNbTVs
There are scientific experts whose testi-
mony is to be taken with respect. They
deal in facts. For example, q chemist will
find what proportion of poison is contained
in a certain substance that may have been
administered with mischievous intent. A
physician will describe an injury and tell
Of results and causes where shot or stab
wounds are involved. An architect will be
able to explain how a bridge or building
has fallen. But the too usual expert is none
OF these. He is a man who for a great
price offers a personal opinion as to hand
writing. A trial, especially one in which
human life or liberty is involved, should be
conducted solely on evidence. Opinion is
not evidence.

Judging from the discussion now going

content with being mayor of Omaha, as
pires to become mayor of the Magic City.

limit to the number of Offices one man may

Yes, and there is no limit to the lib
critics which despicable demagogues
take in the midst of a campaign to
gain their ends, and there is no law,
either. to protect people from unscrup-
ulous liars who imagine they can make
political capital by dragging in men
who are not running for Office and have
no other connection with the campaign
than being on the opposite side in pol

The restraining orders issued under the
federal governments contention against so
many railways centering In Chicago will
have this immediate effect. John Smith,
whose shipments amount to a few hundreds
a year, will get the same rates that VIII
liam Jones, whose shipments amount to
thousands Of dollars a year, can command.
Beyond all question the traffic departments
Of the railways are frightened and are more
than anxious to obey the laws providing for
equality Of rates and publicity OF tariff

The law e%njoins several other too often
neglected duties upon the assessors
which might be included without detri-
ment in the proposed mandamus-fxing
assessed valuations upon a just and
equal basis, for example.

indianapolis Journal.

lnulhlapOus journal.
United States Judge Grosscup Of Chicago
threw out a fine idea the other day when, in
issuing a temporary order against rate
cutting, he said: Personally, believe
that the railroad rates ought to be as stable
as postage rates, so that every shipper
would know, as certainly as the sender Of
a letter how much the shipment will cost,
and the fact that no one else could send
it for less" That would be an ideal state
Of things, but it can never exist without
government control Of railroads.

A damage suit for $25O,OOO has been

A damage suit for $250,OO0 has been
brought by a French wine company be-
cause a German company has adver-
tised that its wine was used in christen-
ing the emperor's yacht Meteor. If it
finally develops that a French wine was
used for this purpose there will I'M
doubtedly be trouble In store for the
German official responsible for its use.
Perhaps it's nothing but a free advertis-
ing dodge after all.

How Hartman Was OutgeneraIed.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
From the evidence brought out in the
Northern Pacific litigation the fact is dis
closed that Eugene Hartman and Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. were outgeneraled in the great
contest over the control Of the Northern
Pacific. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. bought SIS, 00O.-
900, chiefly of the preferred shares, but
Messrs. Morgan and Hill, with the purchase
Of $40, 900, 900 OF common stock, were en-
abled to retain the control and retire the
preferred at par. This quarrel of million
aires was a tremendous affair and has not
been fully exposed as yet, but the Morgan
Hill party has carried off what honor
there were in the matter. The chief char
acteristic of the Union Pacific crowd APP
pears to have been the unreasoning cour-
age in the use of vast amounts Of money.

and moral is admirable. Except when he
dwells upon the memory OF the stsr-eyed.
he is just as happy as a big sunfover.
Neither he nor anybody else knows where
the democratic party is at or what strange
bug will bite IL next. The colonel can
only hope that the sheep will struggle
home somehow. Meanwhile he considers
1t the duty OF a shepherd who knows his
business to yell Wolff" from time to
time in playing a medley on the pastoral
pipe or searching for the bank whereon
the green mint grows.
Colonel Watterson cannot get one mil
lionth OF an inch OF goose flesh out OF his
after-dinner dismal divinations. The man
on horseback is one OF his old wax hggers.
A horse on manback would be more novel,
but We have no right to interfere in the
musings Of the Colonel's museum. It Is
enough to remind him that we are glad
to know that he is we'll and still engaged
in stirring up the brethren, rebuklng the
backsliders and lsmbasting the sinners.
The star-eyed has gone out, but still there
is a right smart lot of things to live for;
and In the words Of Colonel Mulligan:
THE doves notes are the saddest
In Kentucky;
The streams lance on the gladdest
In Kentucky;
Hip pockets are the thlckest,
Pistol hands the slickest,
Cylinders turn quickest

Song birds are the sweetest
In Kentucky;
Thoroughbreds are fieetest
In Kentucky:
The mountains tower proudest,
Thunder peals the loudest.
The landscape is the grandest-and
Politics the d-dest

No serious objection can be raised to
the proposition to give the work of
school census enumeration for Omaha
to members of the teaching force, pro-
vided it can be done efficiently within
the allotted time and without impos-
ing involuntary labor upon any teacher.
The law limits the period for census
taking to thirty days and requires the
census to be completed before July 1
of each year. AS the school sessions
will continue well into June, this would
curtail the available time for teachers
to act as census enumerators. What
ever they would earn in this capacity
would of course belong to them, to do
with it as they please, and whether
they chose to turn it into the treasury
Of the local annuity association or keep
it themselves would concern them
alone.

and other food products could be made
to apply just as well to products com
ing to this country from Germany, and
1t is stated that the secretary of agricul-
ture is now conducting an examination
of fOodstuffs imported into this country
from Germany. It is pointed out that
it does not require any new legislation
by congress to protect us against dis
elimination abroad, as the president is
authorized by existing law to apply the
same tests to German products coming
to the United States as Germany applies
to imports into that country from the
United States.
Washington advices say that the cabi-
net is in full sympathy with the secre-
tary of agriculture in this matter, which
simply means that the administration Is
favorable to a policy Of retaliation in the
event of the German government carry
ing out its recently declared policy of
shutting out American meats that are
preserved with boracic acid. 1t has
already been shown that if the German
government pursues this course with
reference to American meats we shall
have an equally good claim for exclud-
ing German products and there is no
doubt that our government would act
upon the German example. However
unfortunate any policy Of retaliation in
trade may be, In this particular instance
the United States has the better side
Of the issue. The policy of Germany
in this latest action looking to the ex-
clusion Of American meats is unmis-
takably without justification. The ex-
PLANTATION of that action is wholly unsat-
~isfactory. This being the case, If the
German government adheres to it's posi-
ton it will be clearly the duty of our
government to adopt a retaliatory policy.
