GUBA's INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Havana, May 2o.-The celebration
of Cubass Independence Day, the first
anniversary of the establishment OF
the Cuban Republic began at midnight
with the illumination Of the fronts OF
the principal clubs, sending up OF
rockets and the screeching OF steam
whistles. Business was completely
suspended and the streets were throng-
ed with people.
President Palma, accompanied by
the Cabinet officers and city and pro-
.vincial officials, drove to the Punta,
where he reviewed the members OF
the police and fire departments and
then, accompanied by Secretary OF
State Zaldo, he was driven up the
Prado to the palace, continually &C
knowledging the salutations of the
crowds which lined that the-oughfare.
At noon the guns Of Cabanas For
tress announced shat exactly year
had elapsed since the birth of the
Cuban Republic, and Immediately
thereafter the rural guards and ar.
tillery paraded on the plaza in front
of the palace and were reviewed by
the President.
During the review of the troops
United States Minister Squiers was
the only foreigner in the Presidents
, party, which occupied the centra
! balcony of the palace
The feature of the review was the
smart appearance of the mounted rura.
guards, who were enthusiastically
cheered.
DISPATCHES received here frem sev-
eral of the Cuban cities indicated that
the holiday was universally celebrated
throughout the island.

Untrue.
the Editor Of The State

To the Editor of The State:
read your editorial today on the
trouble in Russia and also Count Cas-
sini's conversation for the Associate
Press.
Now would like to state for the in
formation of the general public that a
Jew canot own land in Russia, cannot
even rent land, neither can he run
blacksmith shop; thus the statement
of Count Cassini that they will not farm
is very misleading How can they
farm when they cannot buy land, and
since 1880 cannot even rent land,
but are forced to live in towns te
make their legitimate living?
Very respectfully,
N. Butt.

CALLS lAB0RER An INFERIOR.
Ann Arbor Professor Says Blood
of Capitalist is Superior.
r,e,,, tla Ghicaoo Record Herald.

From tho Chicago Record Herald
Ann Arbor, Mich, May l5.-Blue
blood still exists. Harrison s. Smally,
of the political economy department
of the university, said that the capl-
talist is superior physically to the
laborer; his blood is superior
The laborer, said Prof .Smalley,
is at a disadvantage because, among
other reasons, of his physical inferior.
ity. i mean a particular kind OF
physical inferiority, and not that the
capitalist has stronger sinews, muscles
or lungs than the laborer. In this re-
spect, of course, the laborer has the
advantage. By comparing men purely
as animals the laborer is an inferior
kind OF animal. A hundred years age
1t was believed that all men were
created equal: it was in the air. And
We have come habitually to underesti-
mate the fact that, as animals, some
men are inferior to others.
This difference exists in all AMI
mals. Ne see it in the breeding OF
horses. Some horses are worth at the
present time about IS and others are
worth hundreds, and no training could
make the s5 horse worth 500. The
same shing is true Of men. just as
President Joroan, of Leland Stanford,
said when he laid emphasis on the i'm
portance of blood in animals. The
laborer has not the warm, rich, blue
blood which means physical superiorl-
ty. This same blue blood, when thin
ned out, stands, of course, for infer
iority, both mentally and morally.
Some men are cart horses, worth s5,
and other men belong naturally to 9
higher order of animals. !"

days session here. the bank money or
der committee Of the American Bank
ers' Association, representing 1000
banks. has agreed upon a plan for a
money order system whereby sums not
to exceed 800 can be sent by mail and
the orders cashed by any bank belong
ing to the association. The scheme
will of course come into direct compe-
tition with the money order division of
the Postoffice Department and it is ex-
pected cut largely into the Government
revenues. The proposed system is to be
operated precisely as exchange is now
sold and the orders are to be guaran-

RICH MAN
DIES ALONE
IN AGONY

GRANTS PASS, Or, Dec. 1s.-Left
behind by his train at a desolate water
tank stop on the plains Of Idaho, ]. A.
Mock, a well-to-do and aged resident
of this city, wandered off in the dark
ness, got lost and died Of starvation.
Yesterday his son, A. H. Mock Of this
city. received telegram from the divi-
sion superintendent of the Oregon Short
Line at Pocatello, Idaho, informing him
that the remains of his father, who
mysteriously disappeared several
months ago while en- route to Iowa
from here, had been found.
For several months Mock has been
endeavoring to get some trace of his
father. AS the old gentleman left here
with considerable money on his person
1t was feared that he had met foul
play. The disappearance Of the man
and the announcement of a reward
were literally advertised all along the
line OF the Oregon Railway and Navi-
cation road and the Oregon Short Line,
but no definite information was re-
ceived till yesterday morning.
From the brief telegram sent here 1t
appears that Mock got off the train at
small station or water tank near
Minmdoka, Idaho. during the night.
The train started suddenl. and he was
unable to board the cars. Left alone,
he probably attempted to find a ranch
er's house or some place to spend the
night. But it is an uninhabited coun-
try, and he waDdered away from the
railroad, to become helplessly lost. The
result was his dying of starvation and
exposure. His money, ticket, papers
and all his personal effects were intact.
AZ H. Mock left here last night for
Minnidoka to take charge of his fathers
remains. They will be taken to Abba,
Iowa. whittier the old gentleman had
started to settle UP the affairs of his
estate and to make farewell visit to
his old home.
