Germans at the Mint.

The forty-six German and Austrian
agriculturists, landowners and profess
sors who are studying farming and other
things in the United States, have COM
plimented the country and the climate
by donning American summer suits.
Some OF these distinguished travellers
stick to khaki; for instance. Count KN1sKY
Of Bohemia. who is IS inches high and
looks up to nobody except the Hon. CY
SuIlowAY and the Hon. CYCLONE DAVIS.
But at Cincinnati the other day a re-
porter of the Commercial Tribune found
that a number OF the more oorpulent
tourists had discarded their vests and
wore full summer togs, including belts. :"
IT'S the fatigue uniform OF American
sovereigns, and the distinguished travel
lers show both courtesy and adaptability
in wearing it.
The forty-six have inspected the
farms, the thoroughbreds and the Jer-
sey cattle OF the Kentucky Lexington,
and examined them with the intelli-
genoe Of connoisseurs. But Lexington
will be immortal in their memories for
a new pleasure. There for the first time
their nostrils knew tho fragrance and
their palates the long delight OF mint
julep, the flower and crown OF drinks,
the true nectar and soma, the divine
lyric of the Blue Grass, the sacred Ken
lucky plant and juice, the nurse of
Colonies and the Joy OF Judges, bland,
subtle, penetrating, perfect.
Many welcomes and wonders await
these honored visitors; but no happier
moment than that in which they had
their first smell and taste of that con-
summate composition OF nature and
art, the Kentucky mint julep. The
German Emperor, accomplished and
many-sided as he is, has yet to study
this masterpiece.

Mr.. Cleveland's Strength with the
People.

About the political weight Of Mr..
CLRvELAND's present candidacy for
President there is, as is natural, con-
flict OF views. Of the significance OF 1t
without the field of conflict there can be
no question or disagreement. The call
for CLEVELAND is a notification to the
country OF the kind of President that
is wanted, since certain qualities now
for good and substantial reasons spe-
cially desirable in the Executive are
popularity believed to be found IN the
only living ex-President in fuller guam
tity and higher quality than in any con-
temporary public man.
CLEVELAND is wanted because he is
looked upon as governed by an impair
tial and imperturbable devotion to JUS
tice, as the law defines it, between man
and man, and as this Government is sup
posed to preserve and administer it.
Most American people believe that
CLEVELAND as President could not be
run away with by any organized group
of voters against whom any State in the
Union had felt the necessity Of passing
a law to protect it's own dignity and its
own militia With such Chief Magis-
trates goes that general confidence in
equal rights which is inseparable from
national health and happiness

landism that is now aourishing, the re-

The spirit OF rivalry in the construction
Of high speed automobiles is intense on both
sides OF the water. The reports from
France and Germany concerning the huge
machines which have been built for the
Paris-Madrid race, the International cup
race, in Ireland. and other important con-
teste, indicate that most Of the racing ma
chinee Of to-day will seem like toys five or
ten years hence. The constant cry Of the

A Stop In the Wood Vindication.

Our neighbor the Tribune has been
performing a most important service,
both to the truth of history and to the
honor OF the United States Army, in
presenting so theoretically and making
20 clear the enormity of Gen. LEONARD
WOODS offence if he was party to the
Runcie publication in the North A'neri-
con Rerieu of February, 1900.
The Tribune has forcibly said Of Gen.
WOOD:
III he made public attack on Gen. RnooKE.
his superior ofrcer. through the agency OF q sub
ordinate, he committed . serious offence. II he
concealed his part In such a transaction and pun.
isbed his partner in IT, he was guilty Of an act OF
base cowardice and falsehood"
And again:
THE man who would do the thing charged Is
unis TO be an officer OF the United States Army.
II Gen. woop anonymously attacked Gen. BROOKE.
svo.ded responsibility for II. and punished his
tool for the offence. he ought as we have already
said. 70 be court martlaled."
We expressed on Friday last our doubt
Of the existence of any such direct in
culpatory evidence as would DO afforded
BY corrections or interlineations in
Gen. WOODS handwriting on the manu-
script. Surprising even that Gen. WOOD
was not merely the incidental reviser,
but actually the original instigator Of
the article attacking Gen. BROOKE, he
would have been an incomprehensible
fool to put into circulation documentary
proof OF his completely.
To the extent Of the alleged interlinea-
ton Of particular manuscript by Gen.
WOODS pen or pencil, the charge has
been squarely withdrawn by the news
paper originally making it, the Evening
Post. The Post says that it was I" un-
intentionally misinformed about tho
intsrlineation, and therefore mistaken
in that respect.
Our contemporary the Tribune has
thus eliminated from the case the evil
dence OF Gen. WOODS participation in
the attack on his superior, Gen. BROOKE,
which had been supposed in some quar-
tiers to exist in the conclusive form OF
additions in Gen. WOODS own hand to
the Runcie manuscript.

Hints for Mr., COrTted.

These are piping times fer that young
and aspiring student OF the care and
nurture OF prima donnas, HEINRICH
CoNR1AD. II he will but look about him
and accept suggestions from the teeming
crop Of passing events, he will be en-
abled to escape many Of the pitfalls
which lie in wait for his inexperienced
feet. In the first place the charming
little town Of Montclair comes forward
with a suggestion for the treatment Of
tenors who become suddenly indlsposed
on the eve Of performances Of Faust !"
or Romeo ct Juliette.' In this case,
curiously enough, 1t was the singer him
self who showed how the difficulty could
be avoided; but be was an amateur and
did not know any better. He offered to
whistle his part The manager Of the
entertainment, not having any other
singer to put in his place, accepted the
offer and the performance was given.
Tho song without words delighted the
audience, and the artist received many
"fattering encomiums.
What moro could be asked? We all
know that In nine cases out OF ten the
words OF the tenor's songs are not heard
and that in the other case no one cares
II they arc. So why cannot Mr.. CoNRIED
keep two or three expert sifieurs on hand
to whistle the parts of all singers seized
with sudden interpretations Possibly
some of these singers would speedily
learn to whistle so that in case OF real
colds they would not have to disappoint
their audiences, nor to lose their nights
salaries. Thus they could most effect
lively whistle for their money.
A second valuable suggestion for Mr..
CoNR1ED comes from a busy mart Of
trade. A certain business house within
q day or two entertained its friends
with concert given by one OF those
ingenious Instruments which reproduce
auditors we're enabled to hear the tenor
CARUso, who has never sung in this
country, CALvE, who has not been here
for season, PLANCoN, who has been
absent two years, SUZANNE ADAMS, who
sang only two or three times last winter,
duu tIlC oSoAll. AuC
chine initiated all these singers so we'll
that the expert audience recognized and
applauded them. It is rumored that
some of the more impressionable listen
ers uttered the customary shouts Of
Bravo and Bis! and tried to call
the singers out.
How easy it would be for Mr.. CoNR1ED
to remodel the familiar red placards,
" Owing to the sudden indisposition Of
Nine. CALvE the role OF Carmen will be
sung by Nine. SEYGARp, who has kindly
consented to appear without rehearsal,
30 as to read, The role OF Carmen will
be sung with perfect reproduction Of
the voice and expression of Nine. CALvE
by the prima-donnaphone.' From this
somewhat apologize condition it would
be but step to having the instrument do
the singing and Nine. CALvE in her own
person go through with the action,
chair-throwing and all. In that case
all reason for refunding money at the
box Office would be obliterated and the
joy Of the honest impresario would be
unconfined.

BY Gen. Bates and continued under the COM
mand Of Gen. Wilson. who succeeded him
in the control OF Santa Clara Province.
The same may be said Of all the minor cities
in the provinces under the charge OF the
various department commanders. II may
seem to some pity TO deprive Gen. Wood
Of any portion of the exclusive renown that
proceeds from the erroneous telief that it
is to him that Cuba owes her redemption
from a pest hole and her conversion into
health resort. but truth supports these
statements and Justice to others demands
them. When Gen. Wood became Military
Governor of Cuba, in December. 1900, he
found the island cities and towns exactly
"a clean as they were when he left them
in May. 1902
In view of all that has been said of the
sanitary work Of the United States in Cuba
there are certain facts which stand In gar-
ing prominence before the thoughtful in
vestigator. For instance. virtually all of
the work done has been purely superficial.
With any suspension Of broom and shovel
energy every city in the island, with tho
possible exception OF Santiago, which got
a considerable amount OF permanent paw
ing, would speedily revert to it's former
condition under the Spanish rule. Little
or none OF our work has been either radical
or lasting. A second point appears in the
fact that to American authority Ia due
the direct prevention Of more radical meas
ures. The Foraker law most commendable
in It's general purpose and operation, pre-
vented the granting OF any concessions or
franchises for public work. The sewering
and paving OF the city Of Havana were
definitely INSTRUCTED and delayed by Amer
lean officials. A third point appears in
the Official report Of Surgeon Major Hazard
for the year 1900 In that report. Major
Hazard says:
The part played by dirt and NTH In the breeding
and propagation OF the yellow fever was always
probcmAiical: now VIC know that they have moth
ing to do with II except inAsmuch as they may

In Havana In 1000 no visible correlation could be
seen between dirt and yellow fever.
Sanitation, in the proper meaning Of the
term. Is essentially o radical process. 1t
strikes at the root Of things. In it's appl-
cation 10 municipal processes, 1t involves
adequate sewer systems. house plumbing,
system Of street paving susceptible to
convenient cleaning and repair, and behind
