Stewardship is not ownership, was the burden of the talk of Bishop h. gram in Trinity church, New York, on a recent occasion, says New York writer. That church is at the head of Wall street, and most of the bishops auditors were from Wall street. In law, the bishop was a little mixed There is in law vast difference between stewardship and ownership; but in morals he was right. Private property is the result of the social compact. It is artificial. It is not a matter of religion or mor- ality, but of compact. Yet all solemn and general compacts must be re- spected Good faith requires this. But bad faith on the part of the hold CT, or owner, of private property is, and always has been, ground of for
 feiture. Bad faith is treason to the public. What the good bishop meant was that ownership being matter of compact, amounted virtually to stew ardship-to the rightful use of priv ate property for the benefit of the community. Property is like gun, when used in self defense only, it's use is lawful and just. But when used to destroy his neighbor as a means of elf-aggrandisement or mere revenge, such use is criminal and in that case forfeiture is the only remedy. This is the old doctrine of deodands.

The elements of the Cuban people are practically but two, Spanish and negro; their tradition, one, Spanish. Of these, tradition most makes the type, and Cuba, mixed in color to be sure but not unhomogeneous, is Span ish. That, broadly, is the race with which we deal in Cuba to-day, says a writer in Army and Navy Life. To an American, the relations between white man and negro are the first question. These relations are kindly considerate and equal to an extent not reached elsewhere perhaps in the world between races by nature set so far apart. In fact, it may almost be said that in Cuba there is no race question. There is no sharp, forever fixed line of division between the white and the man of negro blood. A great and growing mass of intermedi- ates, men of mixed blood, that grade up from almost black to almost white, fill up that great, yawning, impass- able gulf which in America forever separates the black man from the white. It is sure, besides, that the great bulk of the Cuban people view with satisfaction, not Encouragement, the progressing absorption of the ne- gro in the Cuban population, and the whole country looks forward to the day when the black man shall have disappeared. Another century un- molested and Cubans would make themselves a completely homogen- eous people of mixed blood. Will the canal Americanize Cuba and change her thought? The Cuban black man fears 1t. For this reason he stretches forth no hand of welcome to America in Cuba at any time.
