Cuba's Problem.

Cuba's Problem.
Cuba,s first difficulty will be to live
within her income. Our military govern
ment turned over the treasury with only
al.cut $500, 900 in it, and with the certainty
that increased expenses and diminished
revenues will for a time confront the
new republic. 1t will have to pay salaries
for work previously done by our army
cflcers. at the same time that the stagna-
ton of trade, caused by the delay of,
cc1 gress in acting upon the Cuban tariff
bill. is making receipts fall OF. The Sit
uption is one calling for skill and sfrmness
on tho part of the Cuban Government. as
for sympathy on the part Of our own.
There is renewed talk at Washington Of
voting lump sum to Cuba and leaving
the tariff alone. That would DO, to say
the best of it, like giving aims when we
might give work. The most effective
sympathy VIC can show the Cubans is
to enable them to earn their own living.

ing OF tho race question. The tour end
ed on Monday last, but before reach
ing washington Mr.. Thompson's guests
passed series Of resolutions thanking
him for his hospitality and testifying
that "the progress. prosperity and enter.
prise Of the States Of: Alabama, Tennes-
see and North Carolina, through which
they 1ourneyed, exceeded their highest
expectations They also resolved that
their "trip. especially through the great
State OF Alabama, had not been without
beneficial results to every member OF the
party"
The resolutions are well edited and the
gentlemen were careful not to commit
themselves In any way. But we have no
doubt that the trip has been profitable
and we wish that there could be more OF
such tours of investigation. Human ma
ture is much the same tho world over
md after all there is not much diner
encc between the sincere white men OF
the North and the sincere white 1nen-of
the South. They have been reared In q
different atmosphere and under different
conditions and they have their peculiar
views, but men Of principle are never
very far apart, and when they start out
in earnest to find tho truth they are apt
to come to much the Same conclusion.
Ignorance Is tho cause Of much trouble
in this world, and the great mistakes
which the Northern people have made
concerning the race question have pro-
ceeded from the fact that they did not
know. Their conclusions were drawn
from premises more or less false, and
SO their conclusions were necessarily err
roneous.
If the members of Congress will only
take the trouble to inform themselves,
there will be less and less of clash be-
tween them and their Southern breth-
rem.

The White Horse Tavern has settled
down to a prosperous enga cement Of one
week at the Academy of Music. It is an
ideal summer attraction, being short and
without long waits between acts. It Is
filled with elevating comedy, and the COM
pany is seen at their best. The mechani-
cal affects are fine, especially the rain
storm at the end Of the first act, when
an aged traveller, his sister and his
daughter, thrown out of the tavern by
the ting hostess, are caught
in a soaking rain of real James River
water, mud and all.
There is a matinee this afternoon. On
Friday, Decoration Day, a special mau-
nee will be given, when the curtain will
rise at 2 O'Clock sharp, This will allow
the performance to end In time for the
audience to sec the parade and visit the
cemeteries.
Next Monday night Harry Bulger and
