very much admired The place is in charge

Americans in Matanzas.
There are very few Americans in Matan-
Zas, although at present detachment of
the 2sth Infantry, under Col Sweet, is oc-
cupying the old Spanish barracks at the
top of slightly hill overlooking the beauti-
full harbor. The battle of Matanzas was one
of the humorous incidents in the war with
Spain. One American blockading squadron,
consisting of the cruisers New York and
Cincinnati and the monitor Puritan, bonn
barded the forts. Our guide told us that the
'Battleship Howa" was also In the fight
and for a time we could not understand
what he meant but ultimately we remem-
bered a popularity of Spanish pronuncia-

ish. Mr.. Jones is called Mr. Homes and
Mr.. Giles Is called Mr.. Hi-les IN Spanish
countries, SO, according to the local code, it
was perfectly proper for him to call the
Iowa the Ho-wa, although she was not
there at all.
The bombardment was fast and furious and
dismounted and silenced nearly all the gums
in the forts around the city, but the Span
ish commander put up bold bluff and re-
ported to Gen. Blanco at Havana that the
Yankees harmed nobody but a mule that
happened to be grazing in a meadow
nearby.

THE JyFINITUDEs or SCIENCE.

Every act, whether of Nature or of animate
beings has an indefinite number of effects,
near and remote. Every combination of acts,
too, yields It's own peculiar results Whence
it follows, by easy logic that there Is a great
opening for energetic young men in sciehtitic
work. inasmuch as ii is the endcavor of science
to discern all the effects of ali causes. 1t re-
qulres no particular Intelligence to start upon
a new line of research and trace, IN IA single
narrow domain, the inexorable working of
cosmic laws. If you choose at utter random
an act or series Of acts your object Of

causes and effects. The educator whose ex-
ample is worthy of imitation plunged the ten
tacIes Of his intellect into Natures infinite
grab bag and drew forth this problem: What
effects follow n consistent and prolonged diet
of unroasted peanuts? His experiments and
observations are not yet completed but al
ready he has discovered several things never
before known to man or beast At the end OF
the first fortnight In his prospective siXty-day
diet the scientist finds that fourteen days of
unaduterated green peanuts cause (a) loss OF
six pounds in his weight; OBJ doubling of
the pulse rate; (c) an almost unconquerable
desire for fruit, and d) dlsinclnation to walk
ten miles daily. Even more astounding rev.

fortnight.

than the right of the faction first on the ground
to organize the convention and do its thinking.
Each stood for the popular Democratic doctrine
that when you have elected temporary chair
man and committee ON credentials the real work
of a convention is over. Neither banked over
much on "the consistency the frank honesty and
the proud patriotism of the delegates-elect, and
each was ready to serve on the other a set OF
admission tickets good for standing room only
in the theatre lobbes. Mr.. Whitney, though
having Won fame as an "accelerator' of legis-
latlve opinion, failed TO accelerate the tram ser
vice TO Springfield, and his forces consequently
drew most of the blanks in the seat distribution
lottery.
The Democratic party may be acting IN Mas
sachusetts as Mr. Cleveland says, under the
leadership of brave wise and steadfast men
But to the naked eye the effects of such leader
ship are painfully invisible One Democratic
ticket, nominated by strong arm gavel work, has
been declared irregular by the State Ballot Com
mission, and the stamp OF regularity has been
transferred to another ticket which probably
would have been nominated if the delegateselect
supporting it had ever really got together The
only prize for which the two factions are strug-
Cling is possession Of the party symbol, with the
resulting control of the machinery for choosing
delegates to the next Democratic National Con-
ventiOn If any Democrat in Massachusetts has
practical purpose beyond this he has failed TO
disclose it, That is the extreme limit of the
party's proud patriotism. Mr. Whitney himself
no more believes than George Fred Williams
that tariff revision is anything but the beating
of a broken drum Mr.. Cleveland's confidence
must have been abused. else he would not have
tried to plaster over the Massachusetts situation
with an out-of-date label.

WHAT DEPENDS on THE DEposIT0R.

WHAT DEPENDS on THE DEPOSITOR.
IF the people will keep their money in the
banks" said Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan yesterday,
everything will be all right" 1t is not enough
that the United States government deposits
S25OO00OO here, nor that Mr. Morgan Mr..
Rockefeller and a group Of rich men contribute
millions more to the cash on hand in the
banks if all the small depOsftOrs to rush
10 get their money and put 1t In their stock
ings. The duty of uphOlding credit just now
rests upon the multitude. 1t does not signify
that there is anything wrong with bank
when il cannot meet a run. Banks are not
conducted in the daily expectation Of a panic.
They are managed on the theory that the peo-
pie will behave with their usual common sense,
that only a calculable proportion of the de-
positors will be calling for their money. and TO
pay them sufficient funds kept on hand.
When a bank encounters and successfully
Withstands q heavy run it does not meet the
sudden demand out of ifs own vaults 1t Is
supported" by other banks, which take over
some of its loans or lend 1t enough cash TO tide
it over the crisis. Joint action of banks and
bankers is enough to sustain a single insttu-
ton here and there, even If il is subjected to
a severe strain by its excited depositors; but
when all the banks subjected to an un-
usual demand for money their joint ability TO
support those most seriously threatened Is
weakened and the whole situation is impaired.
Depositors should consider the position Of
those perfectly solvent institutions that have
suspended Other institutions may be sent the
same way-into suspension, though perfectly
solvent-if depositors lose their usual confidence
and insist on having their money; hut If deposit
ors behave nationally the banks will 60 on as
usual and even. the institutions that have been
sacrificed to timdity VIII probably get on their
feet again and resume business.
The small depositor should ask himself what
moved large depOsitors, the millionaire bankers
and business men and manufacturers to put
vast amount of cash at the service Of the banks.
Praseworthy as their act was. it was an act
of self-interest, in large sense. They have
great stake in the country. They knew that
credit could not be undermined and confidence
in banks extensively shaken without injury to
the whole fabric of industry and commerce
and consequent damage to their interests.
Every depositor has his stake in the country,
and it is usually a much bigger stake than
his deposit at the bank. If he, too supports
the banks by restraining his fears. he Is sus
, tanning business in general and his own en-
terprise in particular. No such person can
afford to have a panic TO contribute 10 one
The situation is, as Mr.. Morgan says, largely
in the hands Of the small depOstor, and fortu-
nately there are signs that he is recovering
his composure

DEALING WITH CUBAN DISORDER

The "Lucha," Of Havana, raises the question
whether the provisional government OF Cuba has
not been too lenient toward political offenders.
and mentions a rumor that several Of the bands
Of outlaws which now disturbing the peace
Of the island are led by recently pardoned GRIM
inals. For the correctness Of this rumor the
''Lucha" does not vouch, and we are inclined to
think and certainly hope that 1t is untrue. But
even were it true it would constitute no indict-
ment of the provisional government, but would
merely indicate that a vicious advantage had
been taken Of a policy which was wisely con-
celved and was administered with all possible
discretion. That fact would not condemn the
policy, but would at most indicate the desIr-
ability of a change.
1t at the outset desirable for the pro-
visiOnal government to exercise all possible
clemency. That government had been estab-
lished largely for the purpose Of cOnclliation.
1t was difficult for il TO discriminate in all cases
between legitimate International antagOnisms
and unlawful conspiracies against the govern
ment itself In such circumstances Of doubt and
uncertainty, seeing that not conquest but con
clliation was the aim, it was well to incline
toward the generous and fOrgiving side. There
is reason to believe that most Of those who have
been pardOned were not unworthy of such treat
ment.
There IS. however point at which clemency
ceases 10 be "A Cuty or a virtue, and at which
conditions prescribe severity comparable in
degree with the midness which preceded it,
That point would of course be reached in indi-
vdual cases when men who had been pardoned
relapsed into their former criminal practices
and it would be reached in general policy when
ever lawbreaking generally seemed to take ad-
vantage Of generosity and TO be encouraged
thereby TO increased activity. Whether that
point has been reached in Cuba is a question
which may safely be left to Governor Magoon
TO answer. If it has been, the situation thus
presented may safely be left to him for dlsposi-
ton.
