PAL,rA,s ADVICE uNHEEpEp.

For country with only half a mill
ion dollars in the treasury, with rev.
enues insufficient TO meet expenditures
and claims against It approaching $780,
OOO, 900 Cuba seems to be rather ex-
travigant. in the matter of salaries.
The President is to have $4,000, the
Vice President $4,000 and a member
of Congress $500 a year. Such sal
aries would be within reason If Cuba
were rich. But Cuba is not rich, and
the indications are that it will he
many years before she win be.
In this country, the richest in the
world. the salary of the President is
only $50. 900, the Vice-President $4,000
and a member of Congress $1,000. 1t
will be seen therefore that in her exc
cutiye and legislative departments
Cuba pays almost as large salaries as
the United States.
1t may be said that the officials
could not get along very well on
smaller salaries. They certainly could
if they had to. AS a matter of fact
the presidency of Cuba is not of so
very much more Importance than the
governorship of one of the more inn
portant states in the American Union,
and the position of Congressman is
not more burdensome nor responsible
than that of MEMBER of the legis-
la ture of one of the more important
states of thte Union. 1t is certain
81 cta
salaries anywhere near as large as
those fixed by the Cuban Congress.
President Palma warned his Con-
gress against high salaries, saying
that he did not accept the high Of
flee to which he had been elected Tor
the sake of the pay, but from a sense
of duty. He had no objection to lib
eral compensation for officials as soon
as Cuba was in position to be liberal.
Sometime ago we called attention to
Cuba's financial condition, showing
that by the closest figuring her annual
budget could not be got below $25,0O0,-
600 while the revenues that could be
depended upon did not amount to
more than $4,000, 900. And in the bud
get no provision was made for claims
against her-claims, as already stated,
which approximate 100000 900.
High salaries for executive and leg
islature officials mean high salaries
for other officials. 1t is a fact that
Cuba cannot, in her present condition,
stand heavy taxation. Indeed 1t is
doubtful if she could stand any other
taxation than that which she already
has. 1t is the understanding that her
people will be involved in financial ruin
unless this country gives her about
Sc, 100000 a year in the form of lower
tariff rates on her sugar.
In the face of this bad financial
showing it does seem as if the Cuban
Congress was showing bad judgement
in fixing salaries at figures that would
only be excusable If the. island were
in a highly prosperous condition.

A SETBACK TO THE STEEL TRUST


The decision of the Vice Chancellor
OF New Jersey in the case of preferred
Stockholders against the billion dollar
steel trust must have been something
of a surprise TO the officers and direc-
tors of that corpora tion. And yet the
decision of the vice chancellor seems
% be just. What the directors and
majority of the preferred stockholders
propose TO do is this, namely. to call
in 5000, 900. 600 of the preferred stock
and to issue $3.50. 900. 900 of five per
cent. bonds. The preferred stock is en-
titled to a seven per cent. dividend. BY
the plan there would be considerable
saving in dividends, but the security of
the holders of the preferred stock
would be less, because if the corpora
ton should get into financial trouble
the bonds would come in ahead of the
preferred stock. What the holders of
preferred stock who have not assent
ed to the plan of cancelling portion
of the preferred stock and issuing
bonds, are trying to do, is to preserve
the security for their stock in all of
its strength.
Before the plan proposed by the di-
rectors can be made effective, says the
Vice Chancellor, all of the preferred
stockholders must assent to it. The
corporation evidently thinks it has a
good case, and hence has taken an APP
peal from the Vice Chancelor's deci-
sion. 1t would not be at all surpris-
ing, however, if the decision should be
affirmed. At present the tendency of
the courts is to keep a tight rein upon
corporations. Too many of them seem
to think the security holders have no
rights they are bound to respect, They
are all the time spreading out into
new speculative enterprises whether
the security holders approve or not
The only reason given why the bill
lion dollar steel corporation wants $780,
100000 additional capital, which 1t
would get by calling in 5000, 900 900 of
preferred stock and issuing $3.50 900, 900
IN bonds, is that it purposes to buy adj
ditional plants. 1t seems as if it
ought to depend upon it's earnings or
issue more stock for the means to pur-
chase new plants.

REAPPEARANCE OF AN OLD
FRIEND.

The coronation has brought to the
front again an old friend of the Amer
lean public, namely, Mrs. Florence
Maybrick. For these many years she
has been appearing periodically in
American newspapers. 1t has been the
fashion to take up her case every once
in awhile and say that there was a
chance for her pardon. And now. in
this coronation season she is in evil
dence.
As is well known Mrs, Maybrick was
convicted about 10 years ago of the
murder of her husband, and sentenced
to death. She is an American, and at
one time was resident of Norfolk,
Va. There was a quite general feeling
in this country and England that there
was grave doubt of her guilt, and be-
cause of the pressure brought to bear
in her behalf her punishment was COM
muted to life Imprisonment.
Secretary Hay, when ambassador to
England, used his influence to the ut
most to have Mrs Maybrick pardoned,
but owing to the feeling of the lesser
officials of the government against her
he was unsuccessful. 1t is stated that
there has always been a willingness
on the part of the very highest Of
ficials to be lenient to Mrs. Maybrick,
not perhaps that they thought her in
nocent, but because they were rather
anxious to crafty Americans in the
matter,
1t is now thought that King Edward
will show his friendliness for Ameri-
cans by including Mrs. Maybrick
among those to whom he will extend
amnesty on the occasion of his coro-
nation. 1t is said that there has been
an intimation that Mrs. Maybrick
would be pardoned. Her pardon would
bring to an end a case that has occu-
pied public attention in this country
ard England to an extraordinary ex-
tent for a long time.

Frank C. Bangs. the veteran actor
is credited with telling of a profession
al trip through the South that involved
an all-night ride in North Carolina,
says the Philadelphia Times. Along
about 2 o'clock in the morning, the
train came to a standstill. The cessa-
ton of the noise of motion caused some
of the more sensitive passengers ito
waken; and they called out from be-
hind the berth-curtains to inquire the
stopping place. No answer was vouch-
safed them. After the train had been
there ten or fifteen minutes, one OF
Bangs fellow-aetors pulled on his
trousers and started to investigate; but
the conductor was not to be found. An
hour passed, with the passengers all
grumbling at the delay, when the con-
ductor stepped jauntily into the car
his lantern across his arm, and pulled
the bell for the engineer to proceed
Questioned as to the delay, he ex-
plained:
We'll, a woman got off right here
it's a flag station. 1t was nearly
o'clock, gentlemen, and there was no
body to meet her; so, l offered her my
escort as far as the house she was
to stay at, and she was kind enough
to accept. That was all, gentlemen. >

1t seems that the centennial of
trousers is to be passed without any
sort of celebration to mark the in
cident. BY the way, it would be in
teresting to know if those Texans who
recently applauded ex-Gov. Hogg so
enthusiastically for refusing to wear
knee breeehes in London and thus
have the opportunity of dining with
the King, are informed with respect
TO the origin of trousers. 1t appears,
according to reliable information, that
trousers. or pantaloons, are of royal
establishment, planted in fashion,"
the New York World says, ''by George
~, as regent, by his ducal associates
and certain French princes. They
were primarily designed to cover the
mischief wrought by govt to the
ankles and calves of the aristocratic
high-livers of a century ago" The
peasantry of many European coun-
tries have steadfastly adhered to
Knickerbockers, but in this country
the democracy has seized upon the
trouser and refuses to be parted
therefrom, even for the distinction
of dining with a king.
