SELF.0OVERNMENT IN CUBA.

The ordinations and recriminatiOns
I'm regard to the general elections in
Cuba are not at all reassurlng. 1t Is u
peculiar situation. The question Of its
self-government Is in doubt. Rescued
from Spanish mlsrule by America, nev-
ertheless America cannot confer the In
herent power of self-control upon the
hot-hearted and tempestuous Cubans.
There Is to-day no feeling In the United
States in regard to Cuba other than
the hope that the splendid island will
yindlcate It's long and desperate strug'
gle for home rule. But Cuba must re-
member that turbulence Is no more TO
be tolerated to-day, or next year, or In
the next year, than In the past. Re-
gardless OF our own political parties,
irrespective of what element Of our
own Is In power at Washington, Amer
lea Is Obliged TO maintain peace and
order IN Cuba.

SUCCESS VS.. FAILURE.

There are many elements that enter
into success-but 1t is easier to cata.
logue the elements of failure. We main.
tain health by guarding against the
causes Of disease, ana on the same prin.
ciple we may attain success by knowing
and guarding against the causes of
failure. In the cemetery Of Failure ure
many epitaphs. Here are some Of them:
He lacked tact. Was too sensitive.
Could not say mo" Did not find his
place. Didn't care how he looked. Did
not guard his weak point. Was too
proud to take advice. Didn't fall In
love with his work. Got IN rut and
couldn't get out. Never learned to do
things to u finish. Loved his ease and
didn't like to struggle. Was the victim
Of the last mans advice. Was loaded
down with useless baggage. Lacked the
faculty Of getting along with others
Coult. not transmute his knowledge In.
to power. Tried to pick only the how.
ers of his occupation. Knew good
deal, but couldn't make 1t practical. A
little success paralyzed him. Worry
killed him. Success. like health. lies
not IN outward things, but within. We
must not wait until Everything Is
right" for us to do some particular r
thing. We rust and rot AWAY, awaiting
chances. which never can be ours until
we create them ourselves. COnova at
one time, having no clay. modelled one
Of his dfyincst figures In butter. See
what Bret Harte got out Of the barrer
sands and sage Of California. 1t wa,
a finer assay than gold miner eveI
dreamed Of. But the riches lay within
himself. The one whose purposes ar,
right has only to dig. dig-confdent
that the gold Is there and remains only
to be uncovered.

THE LATE WILLIAM B. ALLISON.

Sudden death has claimed William Il.
Allison. the most eminent citizen Of
Iowa, the man who for over forty years
has had the confidence of Its people
and has faithfully represented their In.
terests In one or the other house of
Congress. The loss Is not theirs alone.
The Senate Of the United States Is de-
prived Of Its most sagaclous and expert
enccd counselor. To give In detail the
work that Mr.. Allison did during his
long period Of public life would call for
the writing Of the legislative history of
the last four decades. There were few
measures enacted by Congress during
that time which do not bear the i'm
print of his mind. His work was quiet
ly done, but 1t was none the less ef.
fective. He was not one Of the mag
netic" men of his time. lie was not
the originator Of striking policies. lie
was deliberate ana cautious. He aimed
to keep abreast with the people rather
than to take the lead and invite them
to follow. II he had been more bold
and self-assertlve his chances for a
presidential nomination would have
been better, but his conservatism saved
him from the perlls which sometimes
beset mora aggressive men. As 1t was
all who knew him put full faith In his
judgment. They knew that they would
be committed to no rash measures by
following him. He was the model dis.
Greet and safe legislator. Mr.. Allison's
death is deplorable because there art
not SO many men Of his stamp In pub
lie life that one Of them can easily bt
spared.
