ON CUBA.
Favorable Report ON Present Conai-
lions on the Island,

Washington Post.
Governor Magoon. who speaks with tul
knowledge. gives a most favorable report
OF conditions in Cuba. The recent electiohs
were fairly conducted, and the result mas
been well received. Everything assures a
satisfactory inauguration OF the new oruer
Of things.
VIII this second attempt at self-govern-
ment be a "go?' Governor Magoou thinks
so. The people OF the island have been In
structed by the failure under Palma. ana
are advised now that they are on trial to a
greater degree than before. They want 70
succeed. Their own flag means much TO
them, and they are going to make an
earnest effort to keep II flying.
Cuba Is rich in soil, but richer IN unde-
veloped resources. II suggests the south-
ern states before the war for the union
In tina day the south was a far-extendinB
plantation. Cotton was king, and every
thing. A great crop meant great prosper
ity. A poor crop meant much temporary
distress. When flush. the southern planter
was the flushiest individual in the country.
Cuba today is a large plantation. Sugar
is king. Between crops there is little doing
Great number oC people are idle. and,
while so, are pinched and Disseminated. But

happiness and prosperity of the people VIII
not depend solely on sugar and tobacco.
With a stable government that day should
soon come, and the Cuban problem Is
solved.
with Cuba conducting its own affairs
successfully, we shall have a good deal to
show for the short war of 1895. Porto Rico
Is Furnishing. Its people desire, and should
have. American citizenship. The island Is
a rich spot, md, except Cuba, the most
desirable of all the West Indies. Fifty
years of American rule should develop IT
to the utmost.
In the Philippines the record is highly en-
! couraging. We nave done in ten years
more than we ourselves thought possible
No oriental situation could be better In
hand. Time now is the principal factor.
With the leading F1lipinos convinced that
American authority does not spell oppres-
sion, but progress and increasing home d.
~rection, our work in the archipelago should
go forward smoothly, and be crowned with
complete success.
But even should Cuba fail in this second
attempt at self-government, we shall still
be Justified in our course. For the Island
under permanent American control will be
In better condition than II ever was under
Spanish control, and with order assured
should become dearer to its own people
and more inviting to outsiders.

NEBRASKA ron YEBRAsKANs."

While the announcement of the
temporary appointment of DR.. Samuel
Avery as chancellor of the University
of Nebraska is not intended to carry
with it hat the doctor may yet be
made the permanent head of this great
institution, 1t is a compliment to the
state as well as to DR.. Avery. He Is
a Nebraska man and a graduate from
the institution of which he is now'the
executive head. 1t Is but eighteen
years since he was given his degree
by the University Of Nebraska, and
the time since he has spent to such
purpose that he is now splendidly
equipped for the duties hat have
been thrust upon him by the Board
of Regents. His selection for the
place is a compliment indeed.
The insular spirit of Nebraska for
Nebraskans' has not a very strong
hold in this state, and yet it is wise
as well as patriotic to recognize the
ability of a Nebraska man when occa-
sion is presented. No harm can pos
sibly come to the University of Ne
braska because for the time being the
administration of its affairs are lodged
in the hands of one of its graduates.

Better Go slow.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The substitution OF the telephone for the
telegraph in the train dispatching and
regulating service Is contemplated by a
number Of railroads. One Of the advan-
tages of the change is said to be that
anyone can use a telephone" The ad-
vantage is not apparent. Competent and
trained service is needed nowhere more
than in railroad signal service, and rathe
than open up a field for employees of the
any-one-can-do-it sort it would be we'll to
stick to the telegraph.

If Diogenes had attended a suit in a New
York court lately, he would have gasped
with amazement. tainted with delight and
then doused the glim OF his lantern for all
time, for that suit developed an honest
man., the kind for whom Diogenes looked
in vain and who, Shakespeare declared
LAS one picked out Of ten thousand. He
was a plumber, who testified that after
giving an estimate on work he cut down
the bill because he found the work less
than the estimate called for. The court
struggled through the rest of the case,
but is now laid up for repairs from the
sudden shock.

1t is intimated that the democrats in the
senate will protest against the recent ex-
change of notes between Japan and the
United states, amounting TO an informal
entente. No other reason could be assigned
for such a course except a desire to en-
barrass the republican administration. But
what would the democrats accomplish by
defining themselves as ''jingoes2" They
would merely be accused OF stealing Rep
