we had trouble enough of our own mere
during the Cuban war. and we received
very little from other nations except
jibcs at a system Of government which,
according 10 the enlightened view Of for
eign newspapers, was made up OF thieves,
and scoundrcis. There were some Amerl-
cans who raised their voices and pro
tested that it was unjust to charge the
whole American people with the corrup-
ton OF :; few officials, but their protests
were not regarded as anything other than
special pleading.
Numerous English newspapers took vast
amusement in showing US our errors, and
we trust that the Americans Will not do
the same. now that the yea! of Sir John
Blundell Maple has indiscreetly uncovered
the scandals of the British arlny's pur-

have been misapplied, and Mr. st. John

successful in her Cuban imbroGlio, but
she has kept untarnishcd her intcrna-

America that Spain should have asked
with the utmost cordality that America
should send a special representative to
take part in the festivities on the coming
of age of the young King next May. The
envoy extraordinary who has been desiS-
mated for this post Of honor is DR.. j. l..
NJ. Curry, who is most higniy respected
and admired i'll Spain, and is personally
q. very grateful envoy to the Spanish
Court.
DR.. Curry will be, for the second time,
in a position of honor ana Importance in
Spain, and it is a source of satisfac-
ton to his friends to see tfat his labors
are receiving recognition. DR.. Curry's
life has been lesson OF what lives may
