Cuba.

We have from Havana the natural re-
spOnse at this time to Senator Newlands
resolution inviting the Cubans to surrender
their government and become citizens of
the United States. The invitation is not
pleasing To the Cubans. Their effort of
eighteen months duration encourages them
TO believe that permanent success is as
sured and their wish Is to keep their own
flag fling. 1t Is easy to point out advan-
tages that would accrue to both countries
from union, and in time union may be eff
fected But It will not he FASTENED by any
overs"licitousness on our part The Cubans
are to be expected TO keep track of their
own welfare. and a proposition from them
will always be in order. Meanwhile the
people OF the United States will watch the

friendly interest. and be glad at any time

and proceeds to make herself at home.
Now Philadelphia Is polite IL nothing else.
And Philadelphia really admres enterprise
and push. So that is why this young
woman has been able thus far to pursue
her calling without hindrance or affront.
No matron has slipped to her side and
asked her that most awful of questions in
the whole social catechism, Haven't you
made a mistaken" None has ventufed to
snub her when she has approached. Yet
she is now well known by sight. Indeed 1t
is reported that no social function Is now
regarded quite the proper caper unless
this person appears. For she selects her
places of entertainment with excellent
judgment and attends only those which are
of the class" She is well hammered, well
dressed and handsome, so that she fits into
the social scheme admirably.
Probably this young person has solved
the social problem better than she realizes.
Universal acquaintance is. of course not de-
sirable. nor is it quite to be wished that
ever hostess shall feel compelled to greet
every conner whether known or not. But
this Philadelphia girl certainly is inspired
by the spirit of unlimited sisterhood ana IN
her own brave way she is illustrating the
fact that much of the calling and receiving
and lunching and tea-ing which constitute
the serious work of the social season Is
based upon a very flimsy foundation.

Music at Meals,

The Chicago restaurant and hotel keepers
have been bothered for long time by the
question whether to serve music with meals
They have been forced therefore to pay out
large sums for their orchestras and have
had nothing but trouble in return When
the musicians were not striking or blowing
false notes the patrons were clamoring for
changes of program If the selections ran
along classic lines a call would be loudly
heard for rag-time music. If this were
needed and the popoular airs were rendered
the management would be politely request
ed to order the players to cease their tim
pan work and give serious music. Combi-
nations of the two extremes in the same
program yielded no better results The
complaints were in fact redoubled, for both
sides kicked. At last. after having can
yassed the situation thoroughly in their
association the distracted bonfaces have
voted to cut the music out entirely, and to
serve their meals henceforth without the
accompaniment of sweet sounds They de-
plore the necessity, for they have acknowl-
edged in the past in moments of confidence.
that the music enabled them to make good
with inferior meals. So CHEEKY did the pa
irons of the cafes become under the in
fuence of their favorite airs that they ac-
w
would have caused them to enter emphatic
protests to the head walters. If this is in
deed true. 1t would seem that the present
disposal of the case reflects upon the sagac-
ity and resource of the managers. Why
could they not separate the co-gastro-
nomic sheep from the goats? They might
divide the dining hours into sections the
earlier portion to be known as the rag-time
period. and the later one as the classical
era. Or. IL that did not work. if rag time
patrons insisted upon eating at their own
convenience, they might have different
apartments, with an orchestra in each. de-
voted to the particular style OF music IA
vored by the patrons. This way to the
Popular Airs or Here for Wagner"
blazoned over the doors. would guide the
hungry ones. Assuredly the case is not
beyond the cleverness of the hosts, who are
daily called upon to solve more complex
problems than this would seem to be.

General Reyes.

From the New York Tribune.
It Is pleasant to see that General Reyes
was received with courtesy and considera-
ton at Panama. although his mission to
that republic was not fruitful. 1t Is to be
assumed that he will be similarly received
by the United States, whatever may be
the practical outcome of his visit Not
only as the representative of Colombia,
but also for his personal qualities, he is
entitled to such regard. For years he has
been looked upon as one Of the very fore
most statesmen and soldiers of his much
troubled country, as a man possessing at
once integrity of character. amplitude of
scholarship and force Of will. Men Of all
parties have looked to his accession to the
presidency as promising a new and better
era for Colombia. That he now renounces
and refuses the presid initial succession.
which was practically within his grasp,
will be widely regretted and must be re-
garded as inauspicious for his country.
Nevertheless If he thinks he can serve
Colombia better in another capacity, his
judgment Is entitled to respect. At any
rate, Colombia needs his best services In
whatever way he can make them most
efficient We must regret, however, phrase
two which General Reyes appears to
have uttered at Colon. He is reported to
have told Admiral Coghlan that If his eff
forts at Washington failed to effect set
Element of the Panama matter satisfactory
to Colombia the United States would have
to fight the entire Colombian people, and
it would be a second Boer war" That,
with all respect for General Reyes, was
not judicious statement.

Goose-Bone Prophecy.

Househoders who have not yet figured
out their winters fuel expenses are anx-
iously awaiting the natural signs of the
season, which will tell them what to expect
i'm the way of weather and temperature be-
tween now and April. Next week should
resolve all their doubts into certainties.
For then will be the season for the annual
scraping OF the breastbone of the goose,
which will disclose those mysterious mark
ingS which. when interpreted by the
weather-wise, will fortell the mildness or
the severity of the winter. There are other
signs Of hard winter than the token of
the marked goose-bone. but they are merely
suggestive, while the goose-bone prophecy
Is regarded as absolute. If the other signs
differ from the goose-bone, then they lose
their prestige. If they agree with the
goose-bone, the shrewd observer of all the
confirmatory indications piles up his wood
and coal and has an extra lining sewed
into his overcoat and hunts up his old nit
tens. For he knows that the winds will
blow and the snow will fall and the rivers
Will freeze. just as he knows that the grass
will grow In April and May. One of the
famous goose-bone prophets of the country
is Uncle SP' Collins of Roseland, n. j.,
who has peered into the meteorological flu
ture for many seasons through the medium
of nature. He is awaiting the advent of
the goose-bone with keen interest, for an
the preliminary signs tell of hard weather.
Here Is his preliminary evidence:
The cOons have three sets of hair. spring
pigs have extra sweetbreads. shingles have
shown thicker fuZZ fagstones have sweat
frost i'm the -sunlit morning hours, and
squirrels have been more than usually act
i've in putting away big supply OF nuts
So nature writes her prophecies. There
should be no lamentng for lack of warning
If some needless folks are caught this win
ter with insufficient fuel or covering. after
the ancient and honorable gOose-bone has
thus verified the coons and the pigs. the
squirrels, the shingles and the fiagstones.

"Butting In" Society

Philadelphia has right to rise and
demand that all slurs cease. For many
years she has patiently endured the charge
that sine is slow. that her people lack enter
prise, that they are content to lag super
huous in the race. But now the venerable
burg has a chance 10 denounce such insin-
uations as ISLANDERS. 1t has produced the
hfst real novelty of the season. and is APP
parenily proud of the effort. Philadelphia's
unique production is a young woman who is
now known throughout the higher circles of
society as "the uhbdden guest" She attends
every function of which she can obtain a
notice, unbidden but happy She enters
house where a tea or a reception or a
luncheon is in progress and with a manner
which often puts to blush some of the most
cherished guests, she greets her hostess

Mr.. Croker, pleasantly Let us look at

General Reeves Second Manifesto.

Can Reyes continues to give evidence OF
his unfitness for the peace mission upon
which he is journeying to Washington. In
the latest from Colon he is quoted as tol-
lows:
.'It is stated that Gen. Reyes has said
that If no satisfaction is received from
President Roosevelt in regard to the resto-
ration of Colombian authority and Fights
on the fstinnus he will start q political cam
paign through his democratic friends IN
America and through the newspapers TO ue
feat him for the presidency at the next
election. Gen. Reyes intends to try TO COM
mel the present administration of the United
States to withdraw its recognition of Fan
anna
This threat recalls that feature of the
campaign of 1900 which involved the actlv-
ity of the Aguinaldo Aid Society. The Fill
Pine Washington did what he could at long
range for Mr.. Bryan, and was led TO be-
lieve by his supporters in the United States
that he was an important factor IN the
fight. Democratic success, he was assured
would mean the immediate withdrawal or
the American forces from the archipelago
and the establishment of a government by
the natives But nothing came Of the mat
ter The country voted against Mr. Bryan
on every feature of his program. leaving
Aguinaldo and his American allies in a
more helpless and ridiculous plight than
ever.
General Reyes can promise himself moth
ing as a factor in next years presidential
campaign. The question at Issue will be
decided before that campaign opens. A
treaty between Panama and the United
States has been signed, and is now on the
way to Panama for ratification. Such ac-
ton it is understood, will be prompt, ana
then will come our turn. The President will
submit the convention to the Senate, ana
ratification is expected there. With a treaty
in existence. approved. as this one will be,
by sentiment north and south, will General
Reyes and his American sympathizers pro-
nose that the whole business be reopened
and undone? And how much strength could
they muster in support of such PROPOSE
ton?
No democratic candidate for the presi-
dency is likely to pledge himself to under
take any such caper as Mr. Cleveland cut
in the matter of Hawaii. In the first place
the south supplies two-thirds of the votes
in the democratic column, and the south
wants the canal. In the second place we
shall be committed in way that will hold.
1t will not be a question of securing the
services of Paramount" Blount and
Minister Willis to go to the scene and
scheme for the re-establishment of the old
authority. The new republic is a fact the
treaty will be a fact, and such facts are
very stubborn things to deal with.

for all practical purposes a sound dies when
