PALMA AND THE POLITICIANS.

PRESIDENT Elect Palma of Cuba has
announced that it is his purpose to ia
vor a policy of the strictest economy,
and to recommend that the payment of
the Cuban army be put off until there
is a surplus in the treasury. OF course
he is right about favoring a policy of
economy, but he will find that it will
not be a popular policy. Before he is in
office many months he will be attacked
his motives questioned and his policies
opposed, but it will not appear that the
opposition to him is due to his efforts
to keep Cuba out of debt and to keep
down taxation to the lowest point. The
opposition will be based apparently on
other things, but its real basis viii be
his refusal to let the politicians get
their hands in the treasury.
And the delay in paying the Cuban
army will cause dissatisfaction The
United States have a bill against Cuba
for about $4,000, 900 distributed among
the Cuban soldiers who took part in
the last war against Spain. Cuba Will
have to pay that before the Cuban SOL
diers get any more.
There is no doubt that President
Palma means to do what he thinks is
best for Cuba, but it is a question
whether he is a good enough politician
to carry out his policies successfully
He will quickly find out that having
good policies is one thing and getting
them adopted another. There will be
men i'll the Cuban Congress who will
have policies of their own which they
will want adopted, and they will form
political combinations for the purpose
of having them adopted. President
Palma will have to have a party back
of him or he will not be able to do
much for Cuba. He will have to do as
his Congress wants him to do, or do
nothing at all. If he does nothing he
will become as unpopular as if he did
unpopular things. The task he has I'M
dertaken is not an easy one by any
means.

THE RATHBONE CASE.

Senator Hanna is making a fight
for Mai Estes G.. Rathbone. one of
the men who was convicted of postal
frauds in Cuba, that promises to be
successful. 1t is certain that he does
not intend to leave anything undone
to secure Rathbone's release from his
unpleasant position that it is possible
for him to do He had a conference
with the President in regard to the
case on Tuesday night, at which Sec
rotary Root and Attorney General
Knox were present. These two
lawyers ought to be able to advise
him as to whether or not Rathbone
had a fair trial in the Cuban court
1t is the understanding that Rath-
bone does not want a pardon. He
wants a new trial, feeling sure, he
says, that it will not be possible to
show that he is guilty of the charges
on which he now stands convicted.
At least that is what Senator Hanna
says. 1t is difficult to understand why
he expects to come free if a new trial
Is granted, unless it is the plan to
rule out some of the evidence that was
admitted on the first trial. 1t was
claimed by Rathbone's attorney that
there was evidence admitted on the
recent trial that should have been ex
cluded. 1t doesn't follow, however,
that what Rathbone's attorney says
will be accepted by the court in the
event of a new trial. There must be
some doubt as to the correctness of
the statement that illegal evidence was
admitted If it were correct, and such
evidence was the real cause
of Rathbone's conviction, Attorney
General Knox and Secretary Root
would not hesitate to advise the Presi-
dent in favor of new trial. 1t is not
likely that they want to see an inno-
cent man punished. There must be a
great deal more against Rathbone than
Senator Hanna is willing to admit.
The reason Senator Hanna is so
urgent at present is that American
authority in Cuba will cease on May
20. If the President does anything for
Rathbone he must therefore do it be-
fore that date. Evidently the position
of the President is a trying one. He
wants to please the chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and
at the same time. he wants to see that
justice is done. Besides the American
people are Watching his course in the
case.

The following story is told of a Ger
