THE REPUBLIC. OF CUBA

Cuba has embarked on stormy and troublous
Her future will depend the strength and vir-

President Palma's message is repete with graft
tude the United States and breathes sentiments of
patriotism for his people We have performed our
part of 4 sacred compact: more depends upon the
President of Cuba and his advisers, and most upon
the people who are to he benefited in the island by
process of regeneration at delicate and difficult
of accomplishment, which will be rendered more so by
insidous enemies. in the form of political exploiters
and agitators from within and by foreign foes who
never wanted Cuba to be free.
If a fair measure of the optimism displayed in
the message be warranted and the wisdom in that
document be followed. Cuba will not only surmount
all difficulties that confront her, and preserve her
rights and liberty, but she will set example to the
world of the substantial gratitude that should be
shown to country that signally favors another,

Indignity to Mr.. Wu's Predecessor.

The pulling of the queue OF Minister
WI by the maniac in Georgia a day or
two ago and the indignant protosta-
lions Of the minister against such treat
ment have occasioned some gossip at
the Capitol. and a similar indignity in
flicted upon his predecessor ut the in
augural ball OF 1892 was recalled.
1t so happened that two well-known
men about town. who had been cele-
brating the day by drinking many
healths to the newly inaugurated Presi-
dent, and leading bands up and down
Pennsylvania Avenue. were winding up
the days celebrations by frolic az the
inaugural ball They had formed a
party and we're parading about the hall
with much hilarity, when the Chinese
minister and his suite entered. One of
the hilarious ones Immediately conceived
the idea that II would add greatly to
the gayety of the occasion If he should
quietly pull the queue of the Chinese
minister. and, advancing with his es-
cort. he grasped his excellency by the
hair and gave severe jerk.
The diplomat uttered n cry of pain
and Indignation The detectives and
other officials on guard Immediately ran
forward, but in the crowd the offender
made hasty escape. The Chinese min
lister threatened to leave the ball. and
1t was only after the most earnest So
licitation that he agreed to overlook the
episode and remain.

Gen. Ell Torrance, of Minneapolis.
commander chief of the Grand Army
OF the Republic. is registered at the
Ebbitt. He came to Washington to at
tend and to deliver an address at the
exercises at Arlington yesterday.
General Torrance received yesterday
the congratulation of many upon his
having brought to a successful close the
fight which the Grand Army of the Re-
public has made for nearly FIVE years
against II. Clay Evans. Commissioner
of Pensions. now consul general at
London.
While Mr.. Evans took occasion to
make a pubic statement to the effect
that he retired of his own accord. the
Grand Army of the Republic takes the
credit-what there is CT it-of having
forced him out.
General Torrance is most optimistic
regarding the outlook for the national
encampment OF the Grand Army OF the
Republic here in October. He thinks
1t will rank as one OF the greatest en-

Concerning Short Persons

A device now being sold in London
is called Coronation elevators.
The name Is a curious one. but the
meaning OF 1t is that 1t is intended
to elevate short people so that they
can see what is going on when the
great event of the coronation takes
place The Continuance consists sim
| ply OF sort OF modified stills, to
/ be clamped to the soles OF the shoes
and ranging from four to ten inches
in height. The base is so formed as
TO grip the pavement and avoid
slipping. and the invention is said
TO be the best way to make all hu-
man beings OF one height which has
been thought of since the time of
Procrustes. Also. unlike his ar
rangement, 1t is not painful to the
person stretched.
This is all very nice. but there 10
further phase which may not oc-
cur to everybody. What Is to pre-
vent persons of average height. or
above it, from getting coronation
elevators so that they can see over
the heads of the short people even
when these are mounted On thc
stills? Suppose Five Feet Two gets |
a pair OF elevators which make him |
equal in height to Six Feet One, will |
not the latter Immediately rush to !
the nearest shop and purchase !. !
pair of elevators to make himself |
six feet four? This will make 1t
necessary for Five Feet Ten to buy |
himself a pair In order to see over
the shoulder CT his lofty neighbor.
and after things have iearrangaJ
themselves on the new basis. poor
Five Feet Two will be as badly CT.
ms ever, with somewhat insecure
footing added to his other Difficult
ties.
OF course. there is one remedy
left to him-buying another and
higher pair of stills. Thereby he
may raise himself even above the
head OF Six Feet Four. Then his
neighbor Immediately behind will
also have to have his footing re-
vised. And so II will go. until. In
this crowd of mushroom growth. the
stills happen to get tangled up.
when there will be n grand sorting
out of feet and swear-words.
And all this is In some sort g:
