4 Cuban Lawyer on Cubz's Laws.

TO THE EpIToE or THE Sun Sir. The
review OF Cuba's laws and American action
upon them published In your columns on
April 20 touches the root OF the whole matter
No man in Cuba to-day can safely undertake
to say what the law In on any point on which
military legislation ever touched IL was
in the exercise OF legislative power that the
Military Governor most widely misconceivcd
the limitations OF his functions.
The doctrine was early con eel we'd. and
acted upon. that all the powers OF sovereignty
legislative, executive and judicial. were, by
the President Of the United States delegated
TO the Military Governor OF Cuba. and were
to be exercised by him at his discretion, sub
Ject only TO such control as the President
might choose to exercise from time to time
Such doctrine was not and could not be
true at any time or under any circumstances
In the case Of cuba, the President was re-
strcted in his own power over the island by
the limitations imposed by the amendment
TO the Joint resolution. which was in a legal
sense, a sort OF Constitution for the inchoate
Cuban nation. This should have operated
as restraint upon the President and upon
those to whom he delegated authority. Just
as the Constitution Of the United States on
crates as n restraint upon his powers in his
own country.
How much Of the legislative and judicial
fun ction WINS IL necessary to exercise In order
to effect the pacIfication of Cuba and turn it
over to It's own people: The answer To that
question will show the limit OF the lawful eH
ercise OF that power during the intervention.
But the practice grew up OF making laws for
all sorts of cases as they arose and OF making
laws In general terms for special oases, with
the result. as I have said. that II Is to-day
Impossible to undertake the Interpretation
OF Cuba s laws with any measure of safety

The Matrix Of Victory.

Some Orphic poet on the editorial staff
OF our ancient Democratic contemporary,
the 81. Louis Republic, burst into songs
like these:
Hope u the matrix OF victory. and the great
body OF Democrats are gradually yielding 70 that
Initial inspiration from which success u born. In
hope are contained the potentisls. Confidence.
courage, resolve and effort are but the successive
unfoldinxs OF power. Democracys source Of
strength will come with the full realization OF It's
opportunity.
when the people have once sensed thr scope
and magnitude OF the opening which invites them
they cannot but be touched with the impulse and
kindied with the power Of desire. The opportunity
Is usually approaching and as 1t draws nigh widens
and enlArges. It Is no mere ngure 10 say that the
gates Of victory arc unfolding Tor the Democratic
party"
This is very pretty wind, no doubt,
but something more than melodious
breath is needed to open gates; and hope
may be FOOLS pal adise and no matlix
of victory. What is the Democratic
opportunity and what signs are there
that the Democracy is coming to full
realization" Oft? 1t may be edifying to
hear Orphio poets MARBLE and prophecy,
but political party must have definite
programme and come down to business

SUBSTITUTE PLAYGROUND BILL
In Some Way the Proposed improvement

Comptroller Grout appeared before Mayor
Low to oppose the bill providing for
playground in the neighborhood of Walla-

Grout at the hearing.
1t appears that early in the year the

out in the district bounded by East Fourth.

A bill for this purpose was prepared by
Mr.. circuit and introduced by Assemblyman
Conklin.

was discovered that this bill had been side

CHEERED A CONFEDERATE FLAG.
Lively Scene When an Old Southern Emblem
Was AuctiOned on.

BALTIMORE, April 3o,-There was an
incident of the Grim auction sale this morn
ing in the Fourth Regiment armory hall
that caused wild burst of applause. 1t
came when an old Confederate flag was
unrolled. The local enthusiasts backed
the old emblem with their voices only and
not with their cash, for the original bid Of
SIS was not raised by any one, The flag
was knocked down at that price to the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington.
Immediately after the Confederate relic
was sold up came Federal one-a mahog-

Lincoln in the White House during his

ding on this was more spirited and quickly
went up to $3.50. T. H. Manning Of New
