has issued a decree increasing the
rurale guard force by 1000 men. It
is reported that Secretary of Pubic
Worke Montvalvo has beer placed in
command.
According to a Havana dispatch
Guerra IS advancing to take P!nar DE-
Rio with 500 men. wa0 are marching III
three columns. There are only 3OI
rurales defending the city. The rebe.
movement in Pinar del Rio IS de
spread. Some estimates place the num-
Der Of rebels there at 1000. 1t is I'll
mored that Jose Miguel Gomez. with
600 men, is heading an uprising IN
Sanctus Spiritus. 1t is impossible to
tell how big the movement is. If Go
mez Is in arms it is a serious affair.
1t Is also rumored there is an uprising
In Cardenas. 1t is reported that a cab
met crisis is imminent and that Senior
O'Farrill, secretary Of the government,
will resign.
Ever since the riotous disturbances
attending the Cuban general elections
last year there have been mutterings of
discomfort and occasional Instruction
airy enterprises in various parts of the
island. At that time there was a VIC
lent clash between the moderates and
the liberal parties, and Gen. Jose Mi
guel Gomez, the liberal candidate, open
~ defed the Palma government. declar-
ing it to be guilty Of election frauds
and various forms of coercion. Riotous
disturbances, involving bloodshed, fol-
lowed at Cienfuegos and elsewhere.
The present revolutionary movement
in the provinces of Santiago, Havana
and Pinar del Rio indicates tina the
men who have been inspiring the vari-
Gus riots, dynamite plots II insurrec-
tionary demonstrations that followed
last years elections are still busy. Gen.
Gomez is again at the head of the trOu-
bic and the movement has assumed q
sufficiently serious form to warrant the
government in modifying troops, a
pitched battle being already reported.
The fact that rebel proclamations are
being literally distributed among the
rural guards recalls Gomez's boasts of
a year 6 that in a crisis 60 per cent
of the troops would be found taking
sides against the government.
There is little to indicate that the
present movement is anything other
than IN uprising of political malcon
tents and adventures bent on getting
control of the offices, though the recen
action of President Palma in forcing
the liberals out of power in the Havana
council, causing them to resign in 6

cause. At the time Of the disturbance

When the Stars Fall.
Old Judy was a character well known
In Lower Hentley, where persons or
her race and complexion were rare. She
was the last descendant Of an old slave
family owned, In the days when New
England tolerated slavery. by one OF
the chief magnates OF the place. She
lived to be a very old woman-over a
hundred, according to local belief. al
though her exact age was not known.
1t was during the last year of her life
that there occurred in August a famous
display Of shooting stars. The specta-
Gle was a magnificent one, but Judy
had no eye for it's beauty.
Massey sakes! Massey sakcs" she
muttered, trembling, gazing up with
starting eyeballs at the streaked and
shining heavens. "TWont be long

Loudly Call for Help.

Scarcity of labor is the cry all over
the Northwest from the head Of the lakes
to the wheat fields of the Dakotas, where
the demand has reached a critical stage.
In man. cases the farmers are Offering
from $3.50 to SO per day and board and
have not more than sc per cent of the la
Dor they require. The same conditions
are being experienced in all ines of in
dustry, including the railroads, contrac-

in the copper country. The labor famine
in the Northwest is pronounced the worst
in the history of the section.

AN IMPOSSIBLE PROPOSITION.

IL was left to q representative from
the most extraordinary measure of
the session bill To repeal the Con
stitution OF the United States 10y act
of Congress. 1t is seemingly general
legislation, but actually It is special
and. like O laws made for par
ucular cases, ii is entirely and alto
gether vicious Mr.. Hughes propos
es to transfer the prosecution OF Ca
leb Powers from the State to the
Federal court.
The assassination of William Goe
bel was a crime against the Common
wealth of. Kentucky. and no onensc
against the government of the United
states. II was a matter with which
the Federal establishment had no
concern whatever. IT was an affair
of the people of Kentucky. and they
alone are responsible for the way
they deal with it.
Mr.. Hughes jumps to a conclu-
Sioh anu lllSlltS To To have
1t put in the Revised Statutes. The
D%raconian Code would be the most
benetcent government in the world
compared with ours If every within
and yagary is To he wove into the
law of the land. This bill assures
h a by prejudice, or by corruption.
Caleb Powers has not had, and can
not have, a fair trial in the state
court, and it further assumes that
the Federal court is infalIiblc and
could not give him an unfair trial.
Suppose the case be transferred to
the Federal court under this Hughes
bin. and MI. Powers should be found
guilty by the jury and sentenced by
the court. To whom would he ap-
peal for pardon? Not to MIR. Roose-
welt, for the President of the United
States is not authorized to grant
pardon to one convicted of an ofense

Kerosene as a Cleanser.

A remarkable purifying agent Is ker-

cording TO the size of the boiler. II the

Machine Education.

Few lectures. alas. know anything
about leeturing. ID Is no lecturing
to read on photographers. IN every
lecturer would first convince himself
and his audience that there was some
reason for his speaking rather than
printing. there would be fewer lee
lures. The art OF lecturing requires
art. n art of lecturing-a thing
unrecognized by science-personality
The college lecturer comes stoop-
shouldred from his stack OF indices.
and recites the latest statictics: or
he comes square-shouldered from the
athletic field. and %recites the latest
stupidities. Statistics and stupidities
are better in books. One may skip
them. But the true lecturer. who
knows how to lecture. who has some
thing OF his own 10 say. so intimate.
so earnest. so personal, that to con-
voy II all a book Is insufficient. but
he must say II with his W lips,

he no longer comes. Or. IL he does
he comes discredited. uncertain OF
the tennre of his Office: and II Is only
because he is either simple in his in
nocence or determined i'm his wis
dom. that he continues to lecture,
To believe in heart and character. I'm
feeling and taste. i'm moral uplift and

reigning gods want only facts. But
the students know the difference.
How refreshing to behold the cheer

and so their wilful way, Where a
true lecturer opens his doors. there
they Hook in. But soon the teeth Of
prescription seize them. They are
forced to 90 here and there. And
thus the bores also win an audience.
A fact which accounts for their ma
jority among those who instist upon
prescription. As most college lee
lures go low they are nothing but
oral books. The men have vanished
out OF them. The typical college of
to-day consists OF a shrewd hnan-
Ger, Libraries n their librarians,

THE IMPENDING REVOLUTION.

But, whilst neither the theories
OF socialism nor the schemes of over
grasping capitalism can ever be per-
mitted To gain q permanent fOothold
amidst the rising civilization of
these times, the way must neverthe-
less be cleared for important modii-
cations in social institutions. The
great advance in the education of
the working masses and the vast ex-
pansion of productive forces, con
sequent upon modern scientific and
industrial invention, have revolu-
tionized the working and living CON
ditions oil civilization, and especially
in the more intelligent and energetic
countries. Those changes are so
f;nhamntal as to call formalinca-
Ions of the old conceptions of social
equity; for some r%eshaping even OF
the ancient ideal of common law;
Tor some limitations upon individual
and corporate control of wealth: for
o. general widening and smoothing
a the path To individual advance
nent; for the prevention of unre-
sricted mOnopolies; in a word, for
noderating those too wide Unequal
lies in the condition of the citizen
which lie at the root of the violent
discontents which have grown into
m eyer-increasing danger. The
changes needed to readjust the work
ing conditions of society may seem
radical and rudoly invasional toward
hitherto conceded constitutional
rights. We need to learn, however,
mat, in the progress OF society. 1T
may become necessary to recognize
that rights are IN an important meas

to ~readtustment in conformity with
the advance OF civilization.-New
