able to restrain his mirth by the time
he has served his sentence of ten years
behind prison bars, not to mention
the fine Of $56, 701 which was also i'm.
posed by the court. 1t will be re-
membered that at the beginning of
the prosecution of Mr.. Neely. he was
inclined to think that he had the bet
ter of the government, and claimed
that he could not be convicted His
face beamed with a smile of triumph
whenever the case was mentioned.
and he seemed to think that he was
in position to sneer at the govern
ment, and the law; but ten long years
in dungeon may give him time to
get his laugh over with, and pause
to reflect that Cuba, under American
guardianship, is different Cuba
from that unhappy isle which in the
days of Spanish rule was openly de-
spoiled by every officer connected with
the insular government. w. H.
Reeves with a sentence of ten years
and $50, 516 fine, and E. g. Rath-
borne, who will be incarcerated for a
term Of like duration and whose fine
is fixed at $35, 1874, furnish additional
testimony that things have changed
in Cuba. The cases will be reviewed
by the supreme court of Cuba, but
there is little reason to believe that
the findings will be reversed.

orally observed by publicists in their
treatment of the character and works
Of Governor Altgeld. Silence is, how
ever, all that may be expected Of
those who sincerely believe that it is
the brainy orator, not the violent. ig-
norant fanatic, who harms a country
by advocating dangerous principles.
At least it cannot be out Of place to
suggest that if Mr.. Altgeld had de-
voted his talents to the upbuilding Of
his country and sustaining his govern
ment, it would not now be necessary
for men to measure so carefully their
comments upon his official record.
Herein is a moral to be applied.

another excuse for printing his por-

congress and the people the benefit of
his army experience, without intimat-

Miles may have suffered indignities
during his service as commander in
chief Of the United States army, but
it seems hardly fair to assume that in
all cases he has been free from blame.
It is not probable that each succeeding
administration singles him out as a
target for censure, unless there is
something in his composition which
attracts censure. Whatever opinion
one may hold with regard to General
Miles qualifications as an army or
ganizer, it is difficult to see in his
recent TRADE anything less than an
attempt to even scores with Roosevelt,
and at the same time lay by store of
political ammunition to be used to
further his own candidacy in 1904.

not tie them to the policies which the

it has nowhere else to 60. Conse-
quently American sugar interests
have little at stake in the contro-
versy. The volume of sugar trade
with Cuba will be about the same in
one case as in the other, the great
difference being that under free
trade arrangement the Cuban planter
can sell his wares at fair profit, and
consequently live in peace and con-
tentment; while with an excessive
import duty levied, his profit will be
practically obliterated. and he will feel
sullen and revengeful. The duty will
merely lessen the planters profit, and
cause financial depression, uneasiness
and possibly rebellion upon the island
in which America is supposed to take
a neighborly interest-if nothing
more. This is according to the pro-
gram, which is to be carried out as
advertised. The wording of a repub-
lican exchanges editorial this week
sustains The Conservatives conten-
tion that justice is not denied to Cuba
out Of respect for our own agricul-
tural interests, but in order to force
her into the union. The frank editor
says: "There can be no danger Of
Ouba's starving, so long as she has
the alternative of joining the union.
Annexation will at any time furnish
the solution Of her difficulties. - Yes,
indeed. Cuba can be ravished, forced
to a union with us, starved into hu-
mility, but will she ever become
willing mistress? Can there ever be
peace in such a household?

If the effort is successful it will be

will be the sixth journey which the
bell has taken. The bells first jour
ney was from Philadelphia to Allen

lecture at the Uni

perhaps, by great act, may achieve
large wealth without apparently
working for it," he said, "but genius
is not profession. The youth sees
that no legitimate work ever won
great wealth, except under special cir
cumstances. He will say there must
be some other way to get wealth.

worker or of the worker and the

purposes some proceed in scrupu-

Village industries" in different parts
of the country are interesting mat
ters. The old town of Deerfield,
Mass, according to the Youths Conn
p.'uion, may be said to have begun
the revival. A few years ago num-
ber of women in that town made the
experiment of reproducing by hand
the cld-fashioned blue-and-white CO.
lonial bedspreads and table-coyers.
The materials were dyed at home
with the old-time vegetable dyes, the
goods were woven by hand, and when
offered for sale commanded market
and a price which plainly Indicated
the establishment of an industry by
which housekeeping women could
earn respectable income. In two
widely separated towns in Maine
summer visitors from New York dis
covered possibilities in pulled rugs"
A few suggestions and little wise
cooperation with the village women
in the matter of design led to the
production Of rugs which sell for
prices equal to those asked for fine
oriental rugs. The business has now
extended to the manufacture by
hand, of cOurse-of draperies for por-
there's, couch covers, and even of
homespun dress-goods. Nor is it the
women alone who are engaged in
these modern handicrafts. The man
ufacture OF baskets, restic furniture
and articles in brass and iron has
been undertaken by men of mechan-
ical skill touched with artistic scnti-
ment, and their work also has found
ready sale. The beauty of these
simple industries is twofold. They
are occupations in which the worker
can take pleasure, and in which he
can express his own individuality;
and they are carried on at home,
without the expense of rent or mid
clemens profits. Those who know
the duh and monotonous life of the
small back-country towns during n
part of the year are hopeful that
village Industries will have good so
cial as well as Industrial results.

olive green as the color of the army

guished army officer" is quoted as
saying: "We have learned to think
and speak of the army as the boys

those whom we love and honor at
tired in bilious green uniform
which has no sentiment, no durabil-
ity and no beauty" Looking at it
from this standpoint, the St. Louis

serious mistake is being made in
changing the color of the army uni
form. How much do we owe to art
and how much to utility? The object
in adopting the olive green tint is
to make our soldiers less visible to
the enemy and insure greater per-
centage of them against the enemy's
bullets. But if the feminine desire
for effective outdoor color schemes
is TO be thwarted and overridden,
perhaps we should pause. 1t may be
a harsh measure to outrage the sense
of the beautiful with n stalwart line
in "bilious green" rather than one
in blue, and if the fair ones prefer
to see "those they love" in shade
in which they are more easily shot,
the secretary of war may be per-
suaded to give way and permit the
extra slaughter to go on. But no one
had thought that an emotional at
tachment for Sentiment, durability
and beauty" had quenched humane,
not to say an affectionate, desire for
the safety of "those we love"

One peculiar result of prosperity
in many of the manufacturing indus
tries is to make business dull in the
factories which produce low-cost
goods only, whereas in times of gem

the ones which run overtime. This

which people must buy, not to those
with which during periods of stag
