THE FREEING OF CUBA.

No of the present generation can
name the period when Cuba was not in Il
state of unrest because of Spanish avarice
and injustice. For years that unrest was
a menace to the United States because Of
the liability of Americans and Cubans max
ing this country a place of refuge after
becoming involved in SPANS system OF
misrule. Our citizens and those claiming
TO be our citizens were so frequently in
Spanish dungeons that our State Depart

the point Of war with Spain because of
outrages inflicted upon American citizens

The rivalry among foreign governments
breaks out on all occasions. Emperor Will
liam's gift Of a statue of Frederick the
Great was supposed to be a sort of sequel
to the visit of Prince Henry, but French
men think differently. Monsieur La Grave,
a French economist. who is now in St
Louis on exposition business, is quite sure
the Emperor's jealousy was reused by the
Count Rochambeau statue business. He
says
There is as much raison d'etre for a
statue of Frederick the Great i'm the United
states as there Is for one of Attila or
Charles V. l suppose that the Sultan Of
Morocco will offer a bust of Hannibal to
you next week. l knew that the Rocham-
beau statue project had caused a great
stir In Berlin, and | was expecting some
such evidence Of petty jealousy from Ger
many; but then. you see, can afford to
shrug our shoulders at IL. A hundred
bronze Fredericks could not convey TO the
American people what one ROchambeau
statue can. The Rochambeau statue re-
calls something. Yorktown is fraught with
more meaning 10 Americans than the seven
years war, and the effort TO counterbal-
ance the one by the other is incongruous-
it's sad and yet laughable.
1t is quite true France was a very useful
friend to the American colonies when Ger
many was neutral and long before the
present empire was born, but if the En-
peror wants to be polite and friendly why
not let him? There is room in Washington
for a statue of Frederick the Great as we'll
as of Count Rocham0eau. and both will be
educational in a way. There is no occasion
for renewal of the Franco-German war.

The recent sale of the Philadelphia
Record for $2,S64,OOO as a business invest
ment for its purchaser shows the enduring
value of a good newspaper property. A
few years ago when the Chestnut-street
National Bank. of Philadelphia, failed, in
which Mr.. William NJ. Singerly, proprietor
of the Record. owned controlling inter
est, the paper became involved with the
bank and was turned over to it as an asset.
For some years it has been operated by the
receiver of the bank and a trust company
so successfully that it paid off the IiabiIi-
ties of the bank. repaid certain stock
holders $4,000 which they had been as
sessed, paid a divideRd 10 the stockholders
at large, earned about $500 900 for the trust
company, and is now sold for $2.S64OOO.
This is an exceptional case. as not every
national bank that fails can have the as
sistance of a good newspaper TO help it out.
