cUBA's POOR BEGINNING.

Speaking for the struggle for office
under the new Cuban government, a
Havana newspaper says: This strife
over public office is shame to the
palace. All officers of secretaries of
State department seem like converts
of charity houses, where soup or
bread is distributed to famished and
desperate crowds, left destitute by
some great calamity" 1t appears
that an agreement for the division of
spOils has been reached between the
parties. Each wing of the Liberals
is to have 35 per cent, while the ne
groes are to be allowed 80 per cent,
Of the shares of each faction. Never
theless, there are not nearly enough
office to go around These scenes
do not offer much encouragement for
the future of Cuba. The instruction
against Palma appeared to haev no
more patriotic basis than an inordi-
nate thirst for spells, and the new
regime evidently is well representa-
tive of that insurrection in spirit, as
1t is in Individuals Express.

the other students, says the Cleveland
Leader. He had, however, used up a.

PROPER AGE TO ENTER SCHOOL.

There has been a noticeable tendency
in this country within the last decade
or two to lower the age at which
children are limited into the public
schools. Tots of four are now eligible
to enter the kindergarten, and many
parents take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to relieve themselves of the
care of their little ones for a part of
the day This may be a good thing
for the teacher, upon whom the task
falls of mo1ding the mind of the child
but it is not approved by the physi-
clans. American Medicine indorses
an article from the Scientific Aneri-
can contending that pupils up to nine
or ten years of age have not the
slightest conception of the subjects
under the curriculum of
our public schools as at present ar
ranged, "The matter is the most Sc
rious defect In our public schools sys-
tenn" observes the medical journal
quoted, (which in this respect really
wastes the time of the student and
the money Of the taxpayers. "-Ro-

PETITION FOR PARDON.
. Honorable e. F. Noel Cover

10 honorable II. r.. Noel Cover
nor.
State OF Mississippi.
Your petitioners, resident citizens
of Rankin county, Mississippi, would
respectfully show unto your excell-
ency: That John Wells charged
with numbering Joe Sanders, in the
Circuit court of Rankin county, Miss. ),
about eleven (11) years ago at the.
August term of said court and by
agreement sentenced to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for life. That
he has served as such convict for
IL years years, and has been obedi-
ent to orders and established a good
reputation for convict. That the.
man he killed had threatened to kill
him and was a dangerous and VIC
lent character, and John Wells had
good reason to believe his life was
in deadly peril We think Wells has
been sufficiently punished under the
circumstances, and therefore pray
that he be pardoned.
