LOVE AND WORK.

A prominent North Carollnian. who has
been emnently successful as q business
man. in n recent interview declared that
ono could do best that which he loved
best. "1f he has started IN business
which lie cannot learn to love- said ne,
then he should go into some other pusi-
ness. He will never succeed IN TINS age
of connection unless he can find real
pleasure in his work. Tho making OF
money Is not u sufficient incentive. lie
must find his highest enjoyment IN the
task itself. No man who works along
that line can fail. That is my Judgment
based on my own experience and my OBJ
servation..'
That is equivalent to saying that man
should be consecrated to his work; not
consecrated in any sanctimonious sense,
but IN the sense of loving service. AS II
Richmond clergyman said In n discourse
on Sunday last, those who profess ana
call themselves Christians are not eX-
pected to separate themselves from the
business and professional world. They
nrc expected to go In and out among
mon in their several vocntions, and to set
an example of honesty, fair dealing, thrift,
enterprise and faithful service. In short,
that It IS the duty OF every religious man
to show how professional work or busi-
moss work or mechanical work ought to
be done, how n man in that vocation,
whether he be preacher or editor or law
yer or doctor or merchant or manufac-
turer or farmer or mechanic or what not
should conduct himself in his vocation.
This necessarily implies love OF the
work which opc's hands find to do. and
the man who gives to his work that sort
of conscientious zeal will have the large
est measure Of success.

THE CUBAN REPUBLIC.

The Cuban republic has now been In
existence for n year, and General Fitzhugh
Lee takes a very hopeful view of affairs
in the island, having recently received
letters telling him that everything is go
ing on very we'll. He thinks that Prcsl-
dent Palma and his Cabinet are men Of
good Judgment and common sense. Dur.
ing the first year OF the republic they
have accumulated surplus of over three
million dollars. notwithstanding the onor
nous sums that have been expended for
urgent necessities.
The Cuban railroad has now been COM
pleted and within two months phssen-
gers can go from Havana to Santiago In
less than .twcnty-four hours Tho com
pletion of this road will. Of course, In
crease the value Of lands in the confer
of the island, and naturally many new
settlers will locate along the route. The
pineapple and vegetable crops in Cuba
are three times rs large this year as last
year. General Lee is Informed that one
thousand crates of pneapples leave the
city of Havana every week, and that the
seasons crop will be close to one million
crates. The tobacco crop also promises
to be n fair one this year, and the sugar
crop will create about one MILLION tons.
General Leo hears that tho streets of
Havana are kept clean and the parks
throughout the city are well cared for.
He mentions also that no cases of yellow
fever have occurred since the Cubans
have had charge of their own affairs, II
we except the cases of four or FIVE Next
cans who arrived there with the disease.
and who were taken to the hospital. and
for the most part successfully treated.
II thought at one time" said General
Lee, in concluding his conversation on
this topic, that the subject of an inde-
pendent Cuban republic was going to lie
n serious problem. but so far everything
seems to be progressing satisfactorily.
As long as that is the case and the Gu
baus do not ask for annexation TO the
United States, l am quite sure that there
will be no intention on the part of the
United States to interfere with Cuban
eelf-government."
Certainly not. When we gave the
spaniards notice to quit we coupled it
with the solemn promise to the Cubans
to give them n government of their own.
and We must keep that promise In spirit
as well rs in word. Cuba ought to be
part of the United States, for 1t is so by
location and circumstance. but there
must be no force In the matter. If the
cubans Of. their own will ask to be an
nexed we may take the subject up and
consider 1t, but until they do make such
request 1t Is our business to leave them
alone and to give them all the friendly
aid in our power.

DEATH OF MAX O'RELL.

We are distressed to hear of the death
of Paul Blouet, the famous French
writer, who is known to all the world
as Max O'Rell. He was n man OF bril-
liant intellect, man Of wide information,
n spicy, witty writer, who usutlly took
the bright view, who ridiculed the foibles
and praised the good things Of life. and
who gave instruction while he gave en-
tertainment. He made several visits to
this country and fell very much In love
with the American people. He was an
especial ndmirer of the American woman
and paid many tributes In his writings to
her charms. For some time past he was
a regular contributor to the columns OF
The Times Dispatch, and our readers will
doubtless share with us the sorrow which
we feel in his taking off.

GRAVES IN PRIVATE SECTIONS

Tho Daughters OF the Confederacy at
Suffolk have passed resolution de-
ploring the practice that has marked late
Memorial Days of paying more uttcn-
ton TO the decoration OF private graves
ihan to those OF soldiers.
Tho practice complained OF is noticeable
IN many OF the places and Is not to be
easily corrected, for the reason that In
Virginia. in every private burial section,
one or more OF our soldier dead l!e., on
no account would the friends OF these
men consent 10 pass these graves by on
Memorial Day, and while there they
could hardly lind heart to ignore the
graves Of Others of their beloved dead.
Yet the question raised by the Daughters
Will do good. 1t will cause Daughters
and others to pay more attention 10
soldiers graves. Persons who have de-
voted their exclusive care to private sec

ness and will at least give share of
