Will Ask Admission.

Washington. Jan. II. - Mr..
Bennett, Secretary of the senate,
who has been spending two weeks
on the island of Cuba, returned
to day very much delighted with
his visit and fully convinced that
the better c1asses,of the Cubaus
want annexation.
1t is the intention of Governor
General Wood to evacuate the
island about the first of Nav. bv
which time it is expected the
Cubans will have established
their own form of government
operated by their own people.
Mr.. Bennett does not think the
Cubans will prove a success in
managing their own affairs, and
is of the opinion that within
short time they will be asking for
admission to the United States.

The newest political infant is a
Justice" party that has been formed
in Washington, D. c., under the lead
ership of worthy gentleman of the
name of Vaughn, formerly of Iowa,
but now resident of the national
capital. According to a prospectus of
the organization that has been sent
out, the platform of the new party is
simple, but strong enough to bear
any weight" There is a familiar ring
about the declaration. 1t was made at
Louisville recently in connection with
the platform adopted by the Populists
and others who met there to form a
merger of their political properties. 1t
was also heard with reference to the
latest platforms of both of the old
parties, and will continue to be heard
as long as parties are formed.
The principal purpose of the new
party, according to Mr.. Vaughns
prospectus. will be to secure Justice
with a capital j for every body. It
will demand Justice for the ex-slaves
of the South; Justice for the present
slaves of the Philippines; Justice for
the taxpayers of the South, of the
North, of the West and of the insu-
lar dependencies of the country; Jus
tice for the pensioners, and for those
who pay them; Justice for the Protest
ant and the Catholic, and for the Gen
tile and the Jew; Justice for all man
kind. and everything that can be de-
scribed in any language.
1t would probably be unkind to call
to Mr.. Vaughns attention the fact
that justice is the central idea of ev-
cry political party that has ever been
formed in the United States. 1t is
true that in a great many instances
exact justice has not been done by the
party CHANGING to be in control of the
government; but the platform declar-
alton in favor of justice was there
just the same. No party neglecting
to build upon that cornerstone could
survive a day in this country; and if
Mr.. Vaughn will take the trouble to
read up the platforms, he will find
that they have all so builded.
But why should the gentleman
choose to launch his new party in a
place where, however numerous may
be the politicians there are no voters?
The politicians of Washington are of
the dyed-in-t he-wool sort. There is no
prospect of converting any of them.
The place to launch a new party is
out in the tall grass, where there is
material to work on, not where things
have already been cut and dried,

Booker T. Washington tells a story
in the Galveston News of an old col
cred preacher who was endeavoring to
explain to his congregation how it was
that the children of Israel passed over
the Red Sea safely, while the Egypt
ians, who came after them, were
drowned The old man said
My brethren, it was this way
When the Isrealites passed over it was
early in the morning, while it was cold
and the ice was strong enough so that
they went over all right; but when the
Egyptians came along it was in the
middle of the day. and the sun had
thaWed the ice so that it gave way un-
der them and they were drowned"
At this young man in the congre-
cation, who had been away to school
and had come home, rose and said:
Il don't see how that explanation can
be right, parson. The geograp ply that
I've been studying tells us that ice
never forms under the equator, and the
Red Sea is nearly under the equator"
There, now" said the old preacher,
that's all right. Use been 'spectin'
some of you smart Alexis would be
askin' jest some such fool question.
The time I was talkin' about was be-
fore they had any jogafries or 'quators,
either"

THE QUESTION OF THE COLLEC-
TORSHIP

The resolutions adopted by the Cot
ton Exchange yesterday, asking the
President not to appoint colored man
to the office of collector of customs at
this port. state the situation exactly
and clearly. The statement that there
might as well have been no collector
of customs here during the past four
years, so far as the influence of that
official has promoted the interests of
the city. explains why it is desired
that a white man shall be appointed
to the office.
The collectorship of customs at this
port, as we have already stated, is the
most important federal office in the
state. and should be made to contrib
ute to the up building of the city in
every possible way. 1t needs no argu-
ment to show that with a colored man
as collector the office contributes lit
tie if anything. towards promoting
the citys welfare.
The Cotton Exchange has done what
it could to bring about a change in the
office 1t is now for the President to
say whether or not he will heed the
voice of those who know the city's
needs. and who are influenced by no
other motive than to promote the city's
interests. The protest is made against
the reappointment of Col. Deveaux
simply because he does not meet all
of the requirements which the city de-
mands in the occupant of the collec-
for him to meet them. That is his
misfortune. The business men want
a collector of customs who is a repre-
sentative citizen and who will appear
as such whenever the opportunity to
do so presents itself, and the opportu-
mites are many.

AnERr EnR crnA

In a dispatch from Miami. published
! in the Morning News yesterday, Mr..
Root, the Secretary of War. was
/ States had. as yet, made no claim for
/ sums expended in freeing Cuba from
/ the Spanish yoke, but that the matter
would be taken up when the Cuban
/ government had been perfected.
On last Friday. a number of those
who had served in the Cuban army
during the war with Spain, called on
President-elect Palma. and asked him
if he could give them any assurance
in regard to the payment of the Cuban
army. He said that he could not dis
cuss that question at the present time
that ne would first see what Cuba
could do towards raising money to
meet the expenses of the government.
1t is not known of course what the
claim of the United States will be. If
it is what the United States actually
spent in Kidding Cuba of the Spaniards
it will be several hundreds of millions
of dollars. 1t is probable, however,
that the United States will deal gener-
ously with the new republic. But even
if they should present a bill of not
more than $5O,OOO.OOO Cuba will have
a big debt to begin with, if she gives
the Cuban army the full amount of its
claim
President Palma has been told that
the number OF names on the list of
the Cuban army is about 10000. and
that the amount of the claim of the
army is fully $4,000, 900. 1t seems, &C
cording to the dispatches, that Pres
ident Palma was startled at the
amount and said that the list must
have been falsified and would have to
be revised. He further said that he
had been trying to devise a way to
raise $4,000, 900 with which to pay the
army.
There is a probability of trouble
with the Cubans who served in the
war against Spain if they do not get
what they claim. They have been
waiting for the formation of a gov
eminent with the view of getting their
pay, and if they are not successful
their disappointment will be keen. It
is worthy of notice that all of our
troops are not to be removed at this
time. Quite a little force is to be
kept on the island, with the under
standing that 1t will be needed to man
the United States naval stations, but
in reality, to support the Cuban gov
eminent until it gets firmly estab-
lished.
1t is evident that Cuba can raise no
money on her credit until she has
demonstrated that she can maintain
order and collect revenues sufficient to
meet her obligations. 1t will be
sometime, therefore, before President
Palma will be able to raise even $1O,-
100000 for the Cuban army. If the
army is thinking of getting $SO,OOO,OOO
it viii be well for it to get rid of that
thought at once.

Mr.. Ogden,s story.

Robert C. Ogden, the associate of
John Wanamaker. and manager of his
New York store, is responsible for this
story, says the New York Times:
. THE owner of a department store
in a Western city was remodeling his
establishment, and among the up-to-
date improvements recommended by
his architect was an escalator-some-
thing at that time unknown to the in
habitants of the city in which the store
was located. The architect stood by
the door of the merchants private Of
flee just previous to taking his leave
and said with a merry laugh:
Mr.. Brown, when the women of
this city learn what a pleasure may
be derived from the use of your esca-
lator your store will be the most pop
ular one in town, and you will call
down blessings on the head of the man
who made the suggestion to you, for
women like nothing better than an es
calator."
But Brown didn't do anything of the
kind. When he went home to dinner
the maid handed him a note, which
read:
'HENRY-I was in the anteroom and
overheard the conversation between
you and that strange man. 1 looked
up the meaning of the word Osculator
in the dictionary as soon as l got
home, and now l am going back to
mothers. Oh, you horrid men!
MARY"

The Jackpot. Was Too Much.


AT a certain university in this state,
says the New York Tribune, the card
game of hearts mas been exceedingly
popular among the students the last
winter. A group of them, accustomed
to meet in one of fhe fraternity houses
to play, included a theological student,
who, although a member of one of the
stricter denominations, did not find it
against his conscience to be an ardent
deyotee of the game, which, however
at least when he made one of the
party-was never played for money.
Even when chips were introduced for
counters, as being an easier method of
keeping scores than the tiresome tally
with pencil and paper, the theologue
did not balk
But there came an evening when his
sense of the fitness of things received
a rude shock. The pile of chips in the
middle Of the table had reached rather
large proportions, and one of the play
ers inspired by a desire to make the
prospective winnings still more worth
while, remarked:
Let's have the next a jackpot"
The effect of these words on the the
illogical student was electrical. He
knew Of their being associated with
only one game, and that one scracely
to be mentioned in highly moral circles.
"A jackpot" he exclaimed, mechani
cally. Then 1 guess I'm through with
this game" and he rose and walked
out. No amount of explanation or
apologies was sufficient, either, to re-
instate hearts in his approval.
