conservative senators knew before the

was before he had spoken by calling

American army could not be assailed with
impunity. But they sat silent. and have
made their quiet protest now because. wiser

earlier than the shameless members the

PROGRESS OF POPULAR GOVERN

The birth OF a new nation and govern
ment is an interesting event in any cir
cumstances, but that Of the Cuban repub-
lie is particularly so. Never before has
a weak people been so aided by a strong
one in realizing their political ideals, and
never before has a new form Of govern
ment in perfect working order and with
every possible instruction as to its admin
istration been turned over by one people
TO another as in the present case. The
pledge of the United States in the premises
has been fully redeemed. it's responsibility
is discharged. and the result is infinitely
creditable to the government and people
This is true without reference to what
may occur in the future Nothing that
may happen hereafter. the downfall of the
republic or the failure Of the Cubans TO
prove themselves fit for self-government
can detract from the imperishable glory
of the work that has been done there by
the United States in the establishment of
the new republic.
The event emphasizes the fact that gov
eminent by the people is making steady
progress throughout the world as against
the idea Of hereditary ruiership. The po-
litical changes that have been made dur
ing the last fifty years have all been in the
direction of popular government. In some
instances monarchies have given place TO
republics and in others important conces-
sions have been made TO the people in the
way of written constitutions or enlarged
suffrage. The bold and well-planned at
tempt TO establish an empire in Mexico
with Macmillan as Emperor led directly
TO the establishment of the present re-
public with General Diaz as President. The
last Emperor Of Brazil, Dom Pedro, was
one of the most enlightened and progress
sive sovereigns of his time, but the course
of events made his deposal and Danish
ment necessary, and this was followed
almost Immediately by the establishment
of a republic in 1890. The Constitution of
the United States of Brazil is modelled
closely after that of the United States
of America. The French republic, estab-
lished in 1875. grows stronger every year,
and there is every reason 10 believe that
popular government will endure perma-
nently in France. The people OF Sweden
have recently won an important victory
for popular suffrage. and those of Belgium
are on the point of doing so. There is
even talk of the Car of Russia granting
his people a written constitution with con-
cessions which, small as they might APP
pear to a free people. would mean much
in Russia. Last of all comes Cuba. first
born nation of the twentieth century, a
full-fedged republic. In view of these
facts there can be no doubt that the prin-
ciple Of popular government is steadily
making its way throughout the world. The
future will see new republics born and
monarchies revolutionized into republics,
but probably never another monarchy es-
tablished among men.

Mark Twain seems to have puzzled his
able way by his latest venture in fiction
"a Double barreled Detective Story" 1t
contains so many inconsistencies and alb
surdties that many have finally classified
ii as a burlesque on detective stories in
general and on the Sherlock Holmes varie-
own view Of ii at this time. but a care
full reading gives ground for the belief that
he did not so intend it when he began.
In the opening chapters he sets forth in
a serious way conditions which have the
merit of novelty and originality, and which
afford opportunity for strong dramatic
situa tons and for the exercise of detec-
tive skill in an unWOrked field. 1t is
most ingenious plot up TO a certain point,
then it waivers, becomes needlessly COM
plicated, runs into the ridiculous and fails
to hold the readers interest or sympathy.
The explanation of this change in style
and treatment 1t seems likely is that the
author felt unequal to carrying on his
story on the basis first planned. He could
present conditions that opened wide posi-
bilities in the way of further development,
but could not develop them with the tragic
force they called for. Realizing this he
resolved to turn the tale into a travesty on
detective fiction, and as one means of ac-
complshing this introduced Sherlock
Holmes, the character made famous by
another writer-a not very. pleasing device.
In so doing he spoiled what promised to
be an unusual and striking story and failed
TO provide a satisfactory substitute. If
this is not the correct theory concerning
the tale il is at least better than that adj
vanced by thick-and-thin admirers of the
author, namely, that the book is a work of
humOr. Harper * Brothers.
