DooMs JUNGLE TOMS CABIN .
Prof. James Says That the Play
Gives False View of Slavery.

OlFcS alSe view OF claFeTE-
81 do not want my boy to read
.sUncle Toms Cabin until he has
studied American history. l believe
the New York Board of Education
was justified in ordering the book
taken oct OF the school library"
Thus Prot. James a. James, head
of the department of history in
Northwestern University, condemn
ed the famous work of Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe while addressing
class in American history.
Besides pointing out what he
considered the dangerous tendencies
OF the book and calling attention to
some of its "most glazing in
accuracies," Prof. James entered
into a discussion of the race prob
lem. in which he threw upon
Northern men the burden of much
of the responsibility for racial
conditions in the South.
THE famous work of Mrs. Stowe"
id abe professor, does not present
a true picture of the conditions that
listed in the Southern States in
the days of slavery. Does it seem
reasonable that if you had horse
worth $1,000 you would pursue it
with blo1dhounds that would tear
il to pieces? As matter of fact,
the Shareholders did not pursue
their fugitiyes with dangerous
bloodhounds.
"They had small dogs, entirely
different from the big bloodhound,
and with these they followed the
runaways. The dogs were trained,
however, not to hurt the negro, as
some of our hunting dogs are train
ed not to hurt game.
"But I we'll remember the impress
sion made on my mind when I
first saw the procession of an
"Uncle Toms Cabin" show, I
thought the big dogs would hound
the negro down.
THE book leads to false i'm
preston with regard to the slave
trader. The great mass of the South
ern people had no respect for the
trader and held him in contempt.
Many shareholders in the South
did not break up the family rela-
tons of their black dependents.
Mrs. Stoves book presents a false
picture of the conditions that OBJ
tanned in slavery days. Itrepresents
the extreme case. l maintain that
the historical novel has no right to
picture the exceptional case, though
many books of that order are
being written today.
"The harm in permitting child
rem of immature minds to read
this book consists in that it creates
a prejudice against the South that
Is not warranted by the facts of
history. 1t has produced that
prejudice in our minds. | did not
overcome that unwarranted feeling
toward the old Shareholders until
made an intensive study of history.
1t Is not true that we are far
enough away from the Civil War to
permit our children to gather false
impressions from Mrs. Stoves
book. Chicago Chronicle.

CUBA STILL PEACEFUL.

The Philadelphia Inquirer throws out
the suggestion that the reason there
have been no disturbances in Cuba and
no threats Of disorder since President
Palma was inaugurated is that the men
who would likely disturb the existing
order of things are those who claim to
have been connected with the army
that fought Cuba's battles in the war
with Spain, and that they will not
make trouble for the government while
there is a prospect Of getting their
claims for service paid.
The prospect of their getting very
much for that service is not promising.
The Cuban Congress has voted to issue
bonds to the amount of $4,000. 600 of
which $27, 100000 is to go to them.
But will Cuba be able to float $685.
100000 in bonds at par? The chances
are she will not, especially as it is
understood the greater part of the
amount is to go to pay claims for serv-
ices in the army. The point win be
made that the republic has not been
fidence in it's stability, and that there
is no assurance that there will be no
attempts at revolution IL the soldiers
do not get as much as they expected.
If money should be raised to pay
these soldier claims there would be diff
ficulty in distributing it. 1t seems that
there are about 10000 claimants, and
it would take more than $75.0OO.000 Ia
satisfy their claims. AS there are no
authentic rolls showing who are right
full claimants it is evident that there
If trouble ahead. And the trouble is
likely to begin when it becomes plain
that Cuba's credit isn't hrst-class. Will
the United States be asked to guaran-
tee Cuba's bonds?

"Reminiscences

From the Washington Star.
Do you remember where the little bows
INDUCED in innocent and harmless
joys?
1t is yon desolate and parching spot
There on the rank weed-ridden vacant
lot,
Where once their laughter echoed IN
the sky
AS they threw snowballs at the passer-
by.
Do you remember where the snow man
stood
With eyes of coal and skeleton OF
wood?
That is the place-that patch of bis
tered lawn
Neglected even by the dew at dawn.
There where industrious ants with
prudent haste
Are burrowing to shun the arid waste.
And do you see that man, that swelter-
ing wretch
Whose suffering Dante might delight
to sketch:
Whose collar willis; who gazes hollow
eyed
Adown the street where once he walked
with pride?
Tis he who wrote in wintry days much
rhyme
About the gentle joys Of summertime.

THE PoPE's VITALITY.

The Pope's vitality is remarkable. 1t
is so great that it surprises the entire
Christian world. The attack of the
disease from which he suffers may not
be so severe, but 1t must be remember
ed that he is "a years old. He is not
expected to endure a great deal. 1t
is assumed that his power to resist
disease is nearly gone.
And yet he does not seem to have
grown very much weaker since his
illness began. There are times during
the day, it is true, when he appears to
be almost on the point of collapse, but
he RECEIVERS quickly, and when the
world is expecting to hear that he Is
at the point of death, and has but a
few more hours to live, 1t is announced
that he is sitting up, talking with his
secretary in regard to matters which
need his attention, and that he has
taken, for him, quite a hearty meal.
He has undergone two operations for
the main trouble from which he suf-
fers and from each of them ne rallied
quickly. Indeed he was particularly
cheerful and active-so much so that
some of his relatives are hopeful that
he may entirely recover from his pres
ent illness. His physicians, however,
do not give much IL airy ground for
expecting his recovery. Their theory
seems to be that he will be alternately
better and worse for some days, but
that all the time he will steadily grow
weaker until the end comes.
The entire Christian world is follow
ing with intense interest the progress
of the case. and the hope is that the
Pope win be spared a number of years
yet. He is so gentle, gifted and great
and fills his high position with such
tact, judgment and ability that there
will be profound sorrow when death
calls him away.
