TOMAS ESTRADA PALMA

The first Cuban President, |omas
Estrada Palma, on the V of his de-
parture from New York to take up
his onerous duties on May 20 next,
made a graceful and evidently heart
felt statement of his personal feeling
toward America, his home of adop-
ton for eighteen years, and his hope
as to it's future attitude toward the
young sister-pubIic.
| His long residence in this country
may be supposed to have given him
something of the American matter
of-fact discernment, and when he
says that he IS sure the people of
Cuba will show by the high charac-
| ter and tone of the government that
they are to establish that they are
worthy of the sympathy and help
which they have received from the
American people, he apparently
means to the fullest extent what the
words convey. Congress will event
ually do justice to Cuba" he thinks,
and he adds: I'VE put our trust in
the United States, and particularly
in the fine sense of justice of the peo-
pie of the United States"
This attitude is undoubtedly that
of the better and major part of the
Cuban people. 1t will appeal strong
ly to the natural generosity of Am
orleans. Except forthe reservation of
internal autonomy, the Cubans have
in effect put themselves entirely i'm
our hands and wehave accepted that
trust. With such a gift of confidence.
Implying at least as great material
benefit to ourselves in the long run
es to them, it would be base indeed
not to deal with them with scrupu-
! lous candor and generous fairness.

We must all have our toys; the
child his rattle, the adult his hobby,
the man Of pleasure the fashion, the
man of art his master. and mankind
in it's various divttsiu-ls requires a
change of toys at short intervals.
The same rule holds good in the
business world. We have had our
age of CONSULTATIONS and "water-
ed stocks" Notlongagoev everything
was a E'syndicate''; the word is al
ready becoming obsolete and the
fashion is for 'trusts," which will
in turn no doubt give place to some
new panacea, that is in turn to be
displaced by another, and SO on with

The great laws Of the economic
world, like al laws affecting society,

man nature, alone remain I'M

Whenever Cancellations. or wa

panaceas, while the great laws con-

ROCHAMBEAU'S OPEN HAND.
The Debt Our Nation Owes to a
Famous FrenChman.

Americans of today are too apt 10
forget the great debt due from this
nation to France for the aid given TO
our ancestors during the revolutionary
war. II was not only the individual
services OF men like Marquis de La
Fayette, Baron de Kalb and General
Duportail, nor the invaluable aid OF
the seasoned veterans under Count de
Rochambeau, and the powerful fleet OF
twenty-eight ships of the line under
Count de Grasse; in addition TO this
France furnished the sinews OF war,
from the want OF which the cause OF
liberty had suffered more than from
the want Of men.
Even after the arrival of the French
TROOPS in Philadelphia. when the COM
bined armies we're preparing TO march
to the aid of Lafayette, Washington
found that the men of the northern
regiments we're dissatisfied and pro-
tested against being moved TO the
south. A large part of the troops had
not received any pay for a long time,
and had occasionally given evidence
of great discomfort. The service upon
which they were going was dlsagreea-
BILE, and the douceur of q little hard
money would have the effect. Wash

proper temper.
In this emergency he was accommo-
dated by Count de Rochambeau with a
loan OF SIC, 900. which, being distribu-
ted among the different regiments,
and otherwise used for the relief OF the
distresses Of the American soldiers,
had the desired effect.
The pecuniary pressure was relieved
! nv the arrival in Boston OF Col. John
I.aurens from his mission tn France,
bringing with him two and half mil
| lion OF livres in cash, being part OF the
| subsidy of six million of livres granted

They tower aloft like oaks and crowd out
other growths. Standing splendidly upon
the lone highlands, they tempt visitors to
exploration Of their dusky corridors and to
the GOODNESS Of their depths. Upon the
lake side have been built summer cottages
and resorts of more pretension. One OF
these, visited by the Gentils, had broad

nothing, save to ask him if he were ill, and
he but replied that he would be better in
