PRESIDENT PALMA'S POLICY.
1t VIII show the Effect of His Resi-
dence i'm the states.

Minneapolis Tribune.
T. Estrada Palma the first President of
the Cuban republic, has evidently profted
from his sixteen years OF. exile in the
United States. He has resided during that
time in one of the minor cities of New
York State, but within easy reach of the
metropolis, where his duties in connection
with the Cuban ''junta" that fomented and
kept alive the rebellion against Spanish
power often took him and brought him into
contact with the active and progressive
men of this and other countries. This ex-
perience naturally broadened his mind and
gave him an intelligent conception of the
power Of the United States and of the tenn
per of its people, something that many of
his compatriots do not possess. 1t is no doubt
fortunate for Cuba that a man OF Palma
peculiar experience has been selected for
the first executive of the newly-organized
government, as his breadth may temper
their insular narrowness, his generous rec
ognition of American sympathy may curb
their jealousy OF American influence and
his comprehension of Cuba's wider inter-
ests may shame them out of their selfish
grasping for petty temporary advantage IN
dealing with their benefactOr.
The forecast of President Palma's in
augural message given out at Washington
encourages the belief that his efforts and
best possible understanding and the most
cordial and mutually profitable relations
between the two countries. He recognizes
the fact that the rapid development OF the
resources Of the island depends upon recip-
rOcal trade relations with the greater Re
public, and he therefore proposes that our
merchants and manufacturers be given the
inside track and exclusive privileges such
a policy as he suggests could not very well
be carried through without getting the new
Cuban government into trouble with Euro
the United States Is the suzerain Of Cuba,
and that the independence of the latter is
more in name than in reality. This is real
~ what the sO-called Cuban independence
amounts to- 1t may be designated as a sort
of prepa ratory school to tit the people Of
the island for ultimate American citizen
ship.
President Palma can see this as clearly as
any one and there is reason TO suppose
that he will shape his policy accordingly.
There will be. and there should he. eff
fort on his part or on the part OF the gov
eminent at Washington 10 hasten annexa-
ton Let time and education do their per-
feet work.

and Others to Atlanta.

ATHENS, Ga, April 24.-In the chapel
of the University of Georgia welcome was
tonight given Robert C. Ogden and his
party of philanthrcpists by an assemblage
composed of prominent educators from all
parts of the South. jurists, business men
and students, who came here to be present
at the fifth annual conference for education
in the South. The conference was invited
to this State by the Georgia Legislature,
and Clark Howell, president of the Senate,
speaking for the commonwealth and for
the municipality of Athens, voiced the first
words of welcome After extending hearty
greeting to the gathering of distinguished
men and women Mr.. Howell said
I'm this city of trusts and combines let
the work of this conference be to improve
the opportunity to organize the biggest

4 REMARKABLE CONVENTION.

The Republican convention which COM
pleted it's work yesterday was one of the
largest and most enthusiastic ever held by
the. party in the State. 1t was, as conven-
tons go. most orderly assembage. One
distinguishing feature was the unusually
large number of young men who were dele
gates, indicating that to-day the control
of the party in Indiana is in the hands
of men who have the courage and inspira-
ton which is the characteristic of young
men. Senator Beveridge was quite as sue
cessful as presiding officer as orator. Again
IL was demonstrated that Republicans,
when they meet i'm convention, have too
many duties to discharge to complete the
work properly in one day. Indeed, it was
demonstrated that the two days were
needed to afford time i'm which to do the
work of the convention.
Nearly every place on the ticket was hot
ly contested by several candidates. conse-
quently large number of aspirants were
more or less disappointed at the result, but
in no case does the verdict of the cOnven-
ton leave any bitterness. All the nomina
tions were made unanimous when once the
majority had indicated the candidate. This
is as it should be. Aspirants who go into
such contests should be manly enough to
accept the decision when the voting is fair
ly conducted. Besides, most of the aspir
ants are young men and have other
chances. The candidates are unusually we'll
distributed over the State. which answers
the not very sound demand for location.
So fairly nominated, after so prolonged
canvass. every candidate is well known to
the delegates, who heard all the reasons
which were given for against all aspir-
ants. Without the pressure of outside in
| f1uence without the domination of a
boss such as other States are said to
| have, a ticket is presented to the Repub-
licans by their delegates. Both senators
were here, but they espoused no aspirant's
cause. while representatives helped the can
/ didates from their districts. Men thus nOmi-
mated. placed upon such platform under a
strictly Republican system, will carry for
ward the state policy during the next two
years under the vgilant direction OF Gov
ernor Durbin As for the delegates they
can say that they have discharged the trust
committed to them without dictation, and
that they were not here to register the de-
| cree of any supervising coterie of assumed
| leaders.
| 1t is not necessary to give assurances
! that a ticket thus nominated by an I'M
/ trammeled convention will receive the cor
dial support of the party

SHARP REPLY TO EVANS.
Chicago Guards to Prince Henry Say
Their Attitude Was Correct.

CHICAGO, April 23.-Bob Evans, who re-
cords the impressions of Prince Henry in
America in a story he has in a current
magazine, is having time with six men
six feet tall who were detailed to guard
Prince Henry at the ball and wore evening
clothes Next morning they wore long
frock coats and silk hats.
In speaking of them the admiral wrote:
Each of these men was six feet four or
five inches tall, and they were got up in
evening dress and silk hats. The prince
noticed them that evening with silent ap-
probation, but when they turned up the
next morning in the same costume he
asked: Gould this happen anywhere ex-
cept in Chicago?'
The six men have signed their names
to the following statement: I'VE wore
conventional morning apparel. 1t was some
what better, ii is true, than our every
day suits, but In good form, as we have
been told by competent critics. They were
Chicago's guests, and it would be in worse
form for us TO give our impressions of the
prince and the admiral for publication than
to wear evening clothes in the morning
The admiral knows how much he owed to
us that night"

This company some years ago dismissed a
conductor at the request of a Massachu-
sets senator who resented the conductors

car on an icy day. The company-s action
resulted in vigorous protests at the time.
Senator Money later secured warrants
for the arrest of Conductor Shaner and
Foreman Hooper. of the engine company,
on the charge of assault. He also brought
charges against Capitol Policeman Muir
phy who also is alleged TO have taken the
part of the conductor in the struggle with
the senator. Foreman Hooper and Con-
ductor Shaner were arrested tonight, but
both were released on furnishing satisfac
tory security for their appearance in the
Police Court tomorrow.
Senator Money said tonight that he had
been riding on the line twenty-seven win
tiers, and tO-days the first trouble he
had ever had He had been very friendly
with the employees of the road and always
had been solicituous about their welfare
and had advocated many changes greatly
to their benefit When he left the loop

his hand to the conductor of the other car,
indicating that it was all right He dc
clared there were three separate and dis
tinct assaults committed upon him. He
drew his knife he said, TO prtect himself,
but not until he had been elected from the
car and then not until after the conductor
had continued to attempt to assault him
after the ejectment. Foreman Hooper did
not strike him, he said, but tugged at his
wrist to jerk his hand loose from the post
beside his seat, thus assisting in the first
assault
after we were all out on the pavement"
said the senator, Hooper seized my wrist
to prevent me from cutting al the conduc-
tor, he thought, but no one prevented
the conductor from striking me a heavy
blow over the heart. That blow conSti-
tuted the second assault. and the third
was committed when the conductor reached
over Policeman Murphys shoulder and
slapped the jaw with his bloody
hand. The policeman did not try TO pre-
vent the blow. After the alteration was
over the conductor threatened me with
personal violence in the future. / feel very
badly indeed tonight and am under treat
ment for my injuries"

The Indiana Republican platform of 1850
contained the following:
Resolved, That the fiscal affairs of the
State have been badly managed. That
state officers have been shown 10 be de-
faulters TO large amounts and suffered TO
go unprecedented. That large amounts OF
the public moneys have been squandered to
enrich officials and partisan favorites. and
that when the representatives OF the people
sought 10 stop those populations by the
passage of an "embezzlement bill the
Governor of the State vetoed that bill and
thus kept the doors of the treasury opened
to be further robbed by dishonest partisans.
This was the keynote of new era of re-
form, the results of which are seen in the
immense Improvement of State policies,
finances, institutions and government.
