The discomforts, as one may term
them, Of a man accustomed from
birth to the methods Of life in this
country who finds himself in the little
Latin republic of Cuba may be read
lily understood. There is not much in
common between the races and the
Cuban is veritable infant in govern
ment. The American must chafe i'm
patiently. With all that this implies,
1t is hard to see how the Americans
In the Isle of Pines can really have
understood that that little patch of
land had become the property Of the
United States. The letter recently
sent to Secretary Root by the presl-
dent Of the American Club there is
itself conclusive that they have been
far from clear in that understanding.
Had they been clear they would have
proceeded long ago to form a provi-
sional organization without asking ad-
vice Of the Secretary. No American
Is ever at a loss about such a step If
sure of his right to take it at all. But
If there were any doubt the reply of
Mr.. Root must dissipate it at once.
In effect he tells these misguided peo-
pie that the island has been a part Of
Cuba for centuries, and that there
was never any purpose by Spain t.
convey it to the United States nor
any thought in this government OF
asking or accepting 1t either of Spain
or of Cuba. He warns them that
while they remain there they are sub
ject to Cuban law and to such penal
ties for any infraction of that law as
the law may impose. He makes 1t
clear that the island was Cuba's with
out the treaty now pending In the
Senate, which merely declares the
fact, and that this government will
never seek to force Cuba to surrender
1t against her will. 1t is nothing short
Of amazing that any other theory ever
could have been entertained by any
body, since the island is merely the
largest of 1000 or 1900 similar islets
strung around the Cuban coast. II
any other theory was entertained, nc
matter on what ground, this plain
temperate but Incorporating dec
laration of its baselessness should put
an end at once to the whole ill-ad-
vised movement. We may sympathize
with any hardships which this may
bring, though 1t Is hard to see how II
can bring any serious ones. If the
matter is dropped and Cuban law
henceforth observed Cuba is not like
ly to press a vindictive policy. In any
event the situation Is consequence
of the error Of judgment, to put 1t II
its mildest form, of these people
themselves. and this letter Of the Sec
rotary makes it clear that they mus
accept 1t as such. This nation can no
regard 1t otherwise without nationa
bad faith.

Trick of Java Natives.

Some years ago the government of

enormous numbers Of them were
brought to the authorities. Then it
was discovered that nearly all the ma

so the reward was withdrawn.

A Pleasant Way to Travel

The above is the usual verdict of the
traveller using the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way between the Pacific Coast and the
East, and we believe that the service
and accommodations given merit this
statement. From Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo there are two
through trains daily to Kansas City
and st. Louis, carrying Pullman's lat
est standard electric lighted sleeping
cars, chair cars and up-to-date dining
cars. The same excellent service is
operated from Kansas City and st.
Louis to Memphis, Little Rock and
Hot Springs. If you are going East or
South write for rates and full informa-
ton.

THIS is HoGMANAY.
Ancient Scottish Festival Takes Place
To-Day.

Ancient Scottish Festival Takes Place
To-Day.
To-day is that grand old Scotch fes-
tival Hogmanay 1t has undergone
many changes-in name, customs and
the day on which it is observed. Even
now these cannot be called uniform
throughout Scotland. In a few parts
the old style of the year is still observ-
ed, and there it is called Old Yule, or
year. Originally the Yule festival ex-
tended over three days and included the
last day Of the old year and the first
two days of the new year; that is, what
is now reckoned the 4th, 9th and 9Th Of
January, With the general adoption of
the new style what is now called Hog
manay crept in, and is confined to the
last day and evening of the old year,
and Scotsmen perpetuate its customs
in almost every corner of the world.
1t must be admitted however, that in
many places abroad their ability to do
this is very limited. Even in dear Aud
Scotland it is pre-emlnently a rural
festival, and several of its customs
would be quite out Of place in a city or
large town, where first footing" inti-
mate friends is only INDUCED in.
BARNS who have migrated from the
country to the town feel that the loss
of their frolic and cakes at Hogamanay
greatly; they cannot go-a-guizing, or
otherwise, getting their cakes; nor can
the grown-up BARNS go about there
guizing and playing the "Goloshians, :"
or "Norval." To us it seems that there
is no other festival which Scotsmen
grow away from" so much as Hog
/, manay and its frolic In olden time it
was customary to cease from all kinds
of labor during the three daft days"
of Old Yule, excepting such work as
was bsolutely necessary, Happily the
festival occurred at season when
work could most easily be suspended,
and without much loss Folk then had
a superstition that no good would come
of ny work done on these dys. An old
rhymster says:

JUDGE HUMPHREY
FREES PACKERS
INDICTED INDIVIDUALS WIN ON
CLAIM THEY WERE ENTITLED
TO IMMUNITY.
Court Says Evidence Was Obtained
Under Compulsion Corporations
Must Stand Trial for Violation Of
Anti Trust Law.

b Chicago, March % 90. Sixteen pack
ers as individuals won the legal bat
tie which they have waged for the
last three months in the United States
district court before Judge Hum
phrey and they were freed Wednesday
from prosecution under the indict-
ment which charges them. with at
tempt to conspire to violate the anti
trust and interstate commerce laws.
Corporations Are Held.
The judge released the individual
packers on the ground that they were
entitled to immunity from prosecu-
ton, specifically because the investi-
cation of the beef industry in 1904
by Commissioner of Corporations j.
r. Garfield was in effect compulsion
upon the packers to produce evidence
tending to incriminate themselves
evidence which later was contained in
the indictments against them.
The corporations, it is decided, are
entitled to no such immunity. There
are five of these, the Armour Pack
ing company, Armour & Co., the Cud-
oily dSh1uS aCOAupduy, Lie = dlIOduh
Canning company, and Swift & Co. It
is probable they will not be tried until
next fall. The maximum penalty
which can be imposed upon them is a
fine of $4,000 for each concern on each
of the five counts in the Indictment,
the total amounting to SIPS, 900.
The individuals who are discharged
by the decision are: J. Ogden Ar
mour, Charles w. Armour, Louis r.
Swift, Charles N. Swift, Edward Cud-
ahy, Arthur r. Evans, L. A. Carton,
Edward Norris Ira N. Morris, Arthur
A4eeker, T. j. Connors, Patrick A. Val
entine, A. H. Veeder, Robert G. Nc
Manus, D. r. Hartwell
Decision Far Reaching.
The decision of Judge Humphrey is
regarded here and in Washington as Of
far-reaching Importance. 1t means
that new policy will have to be in
augurated by the bureau Of corpora
tions, else every official guilty of vio-
lating the law will escape The fed
eral authorities are apprehensive that
the decision may mean the escape
from punishment of the officials Of
the Standard Oil company, the steel
trust, and the anthracite coal trust,
all of which have been under examin-
alton by Commissioner Garfield.
