burg, there was naturally a great din.
ner. "To add to the happiness of the
event and evening" writes Col. Butler,
IAN elegant band of music played an
introductive part Of French opera,
signifying the happiness of the family
when blessed with the presence of the
father, and their great dependence upon
him."
After the juncture with Washington,
Rochambeau acted merely as an aux
i1iary, accepting loyalty the subordinate
part which his Most Christian Majesty
had assigned to him. 1t was reserved
for Lafayette and his Continentals to
take the first redoubt with the bayonet
and for Lafayette to send back proffe1
of aid to the leader of the French col
umn, who had questioned the courage
of the Americans. Yet when Louis
XVI, ordered the official battle-palntei
to paint for Rochambeau two pictures
--one depicting the siege of Yorktown
and the other the capitulation it was
more than a perfunctory compliment.
The sentiments which the inaugura
ton of the monument to Rochambear
in Washington should arouse are best
expressed in terms of reminiscence. The
enduring gratitude which the American
people feel for him is quickened BY
the courtesies which attended the
preparation of the memorial and by the
ceremonies of the day. Rocham beat
required no greater glory than to b.
the subordinate of Washington-ths
auxiliary" of the General of a handfu
of men" If there were choice of gallan
service, would not one choose tina
which the stronger renders to tn
weaker's need? 1t is, then, a mos
happy coincidence that brings within
single week this commemoration ant
the installation of the republic of Cub
among free nations. The prordes
title of our rulers, as it was of Rochan
beau. may we'll be that of auxiliary
to brave and struggling people.

Popular optimism naturally affects
our estimate of foreign peoples with

habit of esteening ourselves so highly
hinders us from seeing others positions

There has been considerable discus.
sion recently as to whether or not the
Sunday closing law should not be con
strued to apply to persons who made a
business of vending goods on push
carts and movable wagons of all sorts
Although this law has been strictly
adhered to as regards storekeepers, it
is well known fact that these public
cart men sell their goods on Sundays
list the same as on other days, and
that on Sunday they even make more
noise than ordinarily.
1t would certainly seem that an in
telligent reading of the law would in
clude this class of merchants in the
provisions Of this law.
When the measure was first introduc
ed in the legislature the declared pur
pose of it was to compel store
keepers of all kinds to take at 1eas
one days recreation during the week
and to thereby give the same days re
creation to their clerks, and the publ,
at large,
The sale of merchandise from publi
carts on Sunday certainly amounts to ;
breach of this law, and the polic'
authorities should include these busin
esses in the prescribed list of industries
The law surely intended to includ
them.

The Cuban reciprocity plan still
drags. 1t has been hoped that an agree
ment would be 50 nearly reached by this
time that an exposition of the scheme in
detail might be made public. but the Re
publican members of the Cuban Com
mittee have again adjourned without
being able to announce "a conclusion.
The delay seems to be occasioned by a
desire to secure an agreement of all the
Republicans of the Senate, to pass a
bill, before letting ranything out of the
committee.
The plan under consideration, as an
nounced in effect last Friday, is to
allow 20 per cent reduction ;for
period of five years on Cuban pro
ducts, but with the responsibility re-
posed In the President to see that
this concession is allowed to go only
to the real producers, and to cut it
off from all others. Sugar and tobacco

The Senate leaders now believe that
the real fight rests in that body, and
that if the beet-sugar Senator's can be
induced to support such a plan as that
under consideration, the House insur-
gents" will probably fall in line. The

Edward Eagelton, as Don Errico
Medigna, and during the insurrection,
El Captain, is exceedingly clever.
