General Palma in Cuba.

General PalmaS receptions in Cuba con-
tinue to be of an enthusiastic and encour-
aging description. At every point the peo-
pie turn out masse to greet him, and
the decorations are rich and profuse. His
addresses are we'll keyed, and are warmly
applauded. He speaks for united action in
the country's behalf and never fails to rem
der due tribute to the United States for its
Intervention in the cause of freedom and
humanity. The Spanish portion of the pop
ulation, 1t is stated, participates with the
best Of feeling in all of the demonstra-
tions. This is a wholesome sign. For il
Cuba is to enjoy good government, all of
her Inhabitants. and particularly the men
of education and substance, must take an
interest in affairs. The old order has been
swept away. and the new is of such a char
acter that unless the people give it hearty
support it must fail of it's object.
There is no doubt that the first president
OF Cuba will be inaugurated amid inspiring
scenes of patriotism. The Goth instant will
be truly a great Gay In Israel. Even the
skeptics will probably for the moment share
in the fioodtide of rejoicing. With Havana

me commissioners might properly have
added one more section to the newly drafted
Dill Tor the regulation of the height of build
inss. fixing a minimum height below which
structures should not be erected. This mat
Ter Is OF as great Importance when the ap-
pearance of the city is considered as is the
regulation of the tall structures AS The
Star recently pointed out, the street lined
IN part by one-story buildings is as badly
marred as one which contains a few atteuu
ated sky-scrapers- When the excessively
hlsh and the abnormally low buildings fall
within the same neighborhood the effect is
absurd. The Senate District committee
which has taken a deep interest in the de-
Veiopment of the capital striving for the
adoption of plan for uniform treatment
OF the parks and the selection of public
building sites to avoid incongruities and
mlsfts, could profitably take up this subject
and seek legal method of stating the
municipalities right to prescribe a minimum
height. If the present tendency is not
checked the capitals business streets will
soon be devoted in the main alternately to
the tall and the short. presenting Jagged,
inartistic sky-lines offensive to every lover
OF municipal beauty.

The Question of Arrearages,

During the debate in the House yester-
day on the District bill Representative
Kurkstt undertook to demonstrate that the
District has escaped payments in the past
on projects which were properly charge
able half and half between the District and
the government. He instanced several
Items. aggregating approximately So 900, 900
On some of these items Congress has al
ready taken action. placing the charge In
Fart upon the District, and Mr. Burkett
capitalized the arrearages for the entire
period OF the national capital partnership,
for the benefit Of the governments show
ing For instance, he charged the District
with an arrearage OF $500 on the ac-
count of the Freedmans Hospital during
the hrteen years when 1t paid nothing to-
ward the support of that institution;
$4,000 for Providence Hospital during
twenty-five years: $4,000 for Garfield Hos
pital for fourteen years; $500 900 for the
Government Hospital for the Insane for
ten years; $3.50, 600 for the maintenance of the
jail for nineteen years. and $40 600 for the
support of the courts for sixteen years.
These Items aggregated 81 $50 900 In ad-
dition Mr.. Burkett included 1920 900 for the
policing and lighting of the public parks
and S2.359O00 for the Improvement of the
Potomac river. or s3279.OO0 for these two
items, grand total of 81 .94S. 600.
There Is no reason whatever for the in
ciusion of either the care of the parks or
the improvement OF the river in this list
The parks are government property and are
lighted and policed for their preservation
ano for the sake Of the pubic order within
the governments own jurisdiction. AS well
might the District be chargeable with half
the cost of the care of the military post at
the Arsenal The river improvement was
undertaken by the government just as are
hundreds of similar harbor works. for the
primary benefit of commerce. The chan
nels had become charged with mud and

Amos Cummings.

Amos Cummings served with credit i'll
Congress. and is entitled to the grateful
remembrance of his people. He was good
partisan. and at the same time good
American. He was for the country at all
times and in all circumstances. His last
appearance in debate in the House Illus
trated both mis- patriotism and his courage,
and his one sentence uttered on that oc-
casion deserves TO live as long as his name
survives. 1t should, indeed. be cut into the
stone which will mark his grave.
The democratic leaders in the House had
uHwisely decided to oppose an appropria-
ton for building barracks at Manila. 1t
was the first manifestation of the policy
whose latest manifestation is the traducing
of the character of the American army in
the Philippines. The idea seemed to be
that scuttie would be forwarded by keep
ing the army exposed to the tropical wealth
er. Mr.. Cummings had been soldier. and
had seen hard service In the civil war and
his heart revoIted at the bare suggestion
embodied in the democratic position
When the vote in favor of the appropria-
ton was called. Mr.. Cummings alone on his
side of the chamber stood up He became
OF course a conspicuous object Many of
his party friends thought he had msunder-
stood the chair. and urged him to sit down
But he kept his feet. Then there were a
few jeers, and these aroused the man at
whom they were aimed Turning upon those
who thus had offended him. MIR. Cummings
exclaimed with reproof and Indignation
May be paralyzed when l vote against
proposition for the comfort and shelter of
American soldiers.'
There were no more jeers, and a few
days later when Mr.. Cummings, in a per-
s7nal statement, explained his attitude to
the House in a short speech taking occa-
sion to reiterate his sentiment of respect
and support for the army, he was enthu-
siastically applauded by the entire repub-
lican side of the chamber.
There are two sides to the Philippine
question Some able and pure men regret
exceedingly our presence In the archipelago
and think We should arrange our affairs to

The Street Loafer.
From the Newark News.

From the Newark News.
With all her plaques Egypt was not made
to suffer from the street loafer pest, and
life in the land of the Pharaohs, therefore,
was not altogether miserable. The street

hibernated during the cold weather. He
swarms into the parks and lies in wait for
amusement. Unattended young women,
gentlemen in silk hats, men with babies in
their arms, old ladies and happy Sunday
school children he regards as his lawful
prey. The street loafer is a coward, of
course, but In crowd of cigarette voiced
fellow loungers he wakes bold with the
courage of the jackal in pack.
