United States Minister Squiers at Havana has requested that his lega- tion be provided with a military att tache, greatly to the bewilderment of the Cubans who are at loss to un- derstand what the United States can want of a military attache in q coun- try where there is no army The Gu bans do not understand what sinecures these positions are considered in the United States and that the fact that the attache will have practically no duties will in no wise detract from the advantages of the position. Secre- tary Root has announced that an at tache will be sent to Havana in the near future.

Referring to the failure of the con stltut1onal business in this state q writer in one of the magazines says that so conspicuous failure of reform in the second New England state has wide interest quite apart from it's im- mediate political consequences. These, if democratic hopes are we'll founded, will include the election of a democrat ic governor on the issue of republican responsibility for q convention con- however, such temporary advantage can count but little toward righting the wrong of government by legisla- ture under the system of misrepresen- tation, while popular indifference para lyzes patriotic and earnest effort, as that of Governor Mclean Here lies the true significance of the Connecticut situation looked at in the large. These tance from q charter granted by Charles II. in 1862. Despite mild pro- test, they were perpetuated in the Con stitution of 1s1S-the present constitu- ton. They have withstood an inter- mittent but continuous agitation for their reform dating back to 1S4S, an agitation which in the early '70's de veloped into crusade under the lead ership of the late Leonard Bacon. Their obstinate. if not aggressive, per sistence' in the twentieth century strikingly enforces the wise saying of A. K. H.

The removal of President Roosevelt to a private house, temporarily, is not without precedent. President Madi- son once occupied dwelling known as the s.octagon house. for some time af- ter the first white house was destroyed by fire and President Arthur resided in the Butler house, opposite the cap itol, when the present mansion was being renovated. The oyerhauling which the white house will receive this summer will be the most extensive it has ever undergone.

His death would in- yolve no change in national or inter national policies. In actual political effect the sad event would be of less importance than change in the Brit ish cabinet or parliamentary election.

The death of Queen Victoria, in spite of her long reign and great in- Huence. had no real effect upon busi- ness affairs; and the death of King Edward, sad a disappointment as it would be to the whole empire, would have still less effect. British credit has been through so many trials lately that it's general soundness is well de- monstrated. and it would recover as readily from this blow as it has from it's predecessors
