The lsraycst Act.

Col. William +. Cody declares thai
one of the bravest acts he has ever
seen was at the battle of New Hope
Church. Georgia. on May 27, 1864. Ma.
jOr John NJ. Farqular was the man
whose act Colonel Cody deems worthy
to be set down beside any that history
has ever recorded. The story of the
brave deed is printed in the Washing.
ton Times.
At that time Major Farquhar was
provost marshal of the third division
of the Fourth Army Corps of the Army
of the Cumberland. He was detailed
by Gen. Thomas J. Wood, commanding
the third division. to carry an order ia
the colonel of the Thirty-second Indi.
ana Volunteer Infantry.
He started to execute the order. but
found the way so obstructed by Con.
federate forces that he could not get
through except by making wide de.
tOur. To do this meant defeating the
plan of the commanding general.
There was little time for him to
think. The dispatch was In his hands;
he was responsible for its safe delivery.
Failure meant defeat. Major Farquhar
realized these things as only soldier
can.
In front of him stretched the wall of
the Confederate breastworks. Without
an instant's hesitation he urged his
horse up the side of the breastworks,
and under the fire Of ten thousand mus
kets used the top for bridle-path for
Il distance of about one hundred and
fifty yards. until he found place
where he could continue his journey
without danger of being again halted
or hindered.
Mental. moral and physical bravery
were required to accomplish what
Major Farquhar did. He never lost
his mental balance. else he would not
have been so quick to think of way
out of the difficulty. The knowledge
of the responsibility placed ON his
shoulders made him morally brave.
AS for the physical danger. no man
could dare more than riding hun.
dred yards under fire on the top of the
enemy's breastworks.

Demand for Tariff Reduction.

1t Is evident that public sentiment. as
manifested through the press and the
platforms of State conventions. is rap
idly crystallizing into a demand upon
Congress to make general reduction
in the tariff schedule. more particularly
on protected goods that are being sold
abroad for less than is exacted at
home. The action Of the Democratic
congressional committee in making tar
iff reduction, especially as applied to
the trusts. the paramount issue Of the

cal expeiiency as well as the economic
necessity of giving attention to the
gross injustice of high protection as
generally applied.-Kansas City Star.

Yet the bill has been pigeonhOled and

valuable Roman Remains Unearthed

During the course Of some excava-
tions on a mound in the neighborhood
OF Greenwich Observatory, London,
some RomaiH remains of great value
and interest have been unearthed.
About two feet below the surface the
floor of Roman room with great
portion of the teSselated pavement in
tact was revealed. Under careful treat
ment the beautiful work in cubes of red
tile was disclosed, and the space has
now been rallied off. in order that the
public may view the remains. y fine
collection of coins of the period of Had
rian and Constantine was also discov-
cred. together with several pieces OF
beautifully figured pottery and orna-
mental wallp plaster The coins were in
stats of remarkable preservation. the
figures and inscriptions being in some
instances almost as clear and distinct
as those at present in use. The dis
coveries are regarded as important. for
the reason that they prove that the Ro-
man road from London to Dover led
through what is now Greenwich Park.

Congress has been running n race
with death and Congress has won. The
Civil War pensioners are now dying
at rapid rate and yet the pension
list is increasing. Thirty-seven years
after the close of the war there are
more pensioners than ever before. The
number lacks only GA of being a round
million. This was an increase of 1927
since 1899. The experts say it is the
high-water mark and that from now ON
the increasing death rate will decrease

Dismal Reports from Cuba.

Cuban finances are fast getting into
deplorable condition. 1t is said that
the treasury receipts averaged $4,000
! day during the American regime and
that they have now fallen to less than
$4,000 Il day. The assertion is also
made that ''the Cuban authorities in
complete disregard of responsibilities
imposed by the Platt amendment. are
neglecting the sanitary condition Of Ha-
vana and other Cities and lit is not
unlikely that the President may soon
hnd 1t necessary to exercise his influ-
ence with the Cuban government to in
augurate reform" Some of the dis
patches are even more dismal in their
pretended fOrebOdings.
There Is no doubt that Cuba is in
bad way financially. UnquestiOnably
the receipts have fallen off. AS to other
matters it would be becoming in us to
suspend Judgment. If the public rev.
enues have fallen off. as stated, that is
reason enough for failing to maintain
the best sanitary conditions as well as
coming short of the ideal In other re-
spects. 1t Will be well to bear i'm mind
that some people have all along taken a
pessimistic view of the ability of the
Cubans to govern themselves. 1t will
be well to bear in mind that In some
quarters there has been an evident pur-
pose to wreck the Cuban government.
If possible, and to make Cuba not a
part Of the great American common
wealth. but dependency arbitrarily
governed from Washington, much as it
was governed during our military oc-
cupation.
The attempt utterly to discredit the
people of Cuba and to make them out
wholly incapable Of self-government
means nothing less than this. The ''an-
nexation" advocated by these pessimists
means nothing less. because 1t is plain
that if the Cubans cannot govern them
selves as an Independent people neither
can they as a State of the American
Union.
Before We believe the worst that these
people would have us believe, before
convicting the Cubans of bad faith. cor
ruption and other crimes, We would do
we'll to fulfill our own obligations under
the Platt amendment. We would do
well to give the Cubans the chance we
promised to give them and see what
they will do when they have that fair
chance. If We are going to accuse the
Cubans We at least should go into court
with clean hands. There Is something
in these despairing cries about Cuba
and the Cubans that sounds suspicious
ly like tn voice of the sugar statesman
and patrIot.-Chicago Chronicle.
