cuba's Negro Problem.

Cnba's negro problem. is worse than
ours. The Cuban negro Is a native
product and he is a patriot. He was
soldier in the war for independence
and he demands social equality. poiiti-
cal equality and full representation in
the affairs of government. When his
demands are not met. he is ready to
"revolute" and it goes without saying
that he has friends and allies among
the lower class of whites. The
negroes of Cuba will not lie treated
as an inferior race, and the govern
ment must reckon with them on all
questions. social and political. Ii is
the toughest problem that the young
republic has to deal with and 1t is
ever present. II is pressing just now
and is threatening to precipitate a

MAYOR oAYNoR AN ASS AND A
BOOR.

Mayor Gaynor. OF New York. proved
himself to be an ass aud a bocr Thurs
day evening. The mayor was a guest
at the annual dinner of the Associat-
ed Press and American Newspaper
publishers Association, of which
b. dies William Randolph Hearst is
member. Yet he made this dinner
the occasion for yitnperatiye attack
upon MIR. Hearst. accusing the New
York editor OF crimes and black
guardlsm. The mayors speech OF
some two thousand words, before the
crowd of newspaper men and their
guests who had assembled In the
spirit OF good fellowship, was devoted
almost exclusively to this denuncia-
ton OF lis political enemy.
The average cornfield negro would
be too well hammered t. revlle his
host during dinner, and probably his
instict would tell hing that guest at
a social gathering might do well to
revIle nobody
Mayor Gaynor no doubt feels that
he has Just cause for strong resent
ment against Mr.. Hearst. but II he
had mt been wholly devoid of any
sense of the fitness of things he
would have voiced his grievances mt
another time and place and before
another audience.

Our Sensitive Newcomers.

The largest part OF the alien popu-
lation OF the East Side that has been
here more than two years feels itself
AmeriC anized and greets with sciS,t
enthusiasm immigrants that arrive
from Ellis Island at the barge Office
landing. The f0es are particularly
sensitive about escorting their rela-
tives from the steerage of big ship
to homes in boroughs Of the big city.
The dress OF a young woman just from
Poland excites comment and some
times deyision among those who
have not been long enough in the
country 10 speak the language.
That is why the sisters and other
female relatives OF Polish girls carry
with them when they go to Ellis Is
land to welcome the homeseekers a
bundle of modern American dresses.
The immigrant steps out of heF
queer and distinctive dress in the
womeu's private room aboard the gov
eminent ferryboat and puts on the
toys that are taken from the bundle
by the sensitive Poles. Emerging. the
immigrants looks just like the aver
age New York woman OF the East
Side and nobody makes fun of her
The discarded dress is always left
behind and gathered in by the ferry
employee in charge of the toilet room

A WISE AND DESIRABLE RE-
SyRiCTtON,

Some members of the city Demo-
cratic committee have raised a ques-
ton as to the meaning of that section
OF the municipal primary plan which
provides that each voter participating
in the primary shall vote for one can
didate fer the board of aldermen and
two candidates for the common coun-
ell. During the meeting of the COM
mittee Thursday night this matter
was discussed, some of the commit
teemen objecting to the section on the
ground tina; the judges would be COM
PEELED 10 throw out ballot on which
the names of all candidates for the
lower branch except one were scratch
ed. while one member insisted that
the judges would not have to throw
cut such a ballot.
There ought TO be no argument
over this matter. The language OF the
section Is plain and there is no reason
for supposing that II was not intend
ed to mean just what 1t says. When
n voter does not leave the names OF
two candidates for the common coun-
ell unscratched. he does not comply
with the plan under which the pri-
mary is held. which says specifically
that each voter shall vote for two
candidates. and his ballot is inyalidat-
ed. The judges, personally. might
question the wisdom of the section.
but their only duty is TO conduct the
primary according TO the plan.
The section of the plan in question
imposes wise and desirable restric-
ton upon participation in the pri-
mary. and the committee should see
shat 1t is rigidly enforced. The OBJ
ject ~ the restriction is obvious The
plan contemplates that the two men
nominated for the common council in
any yard shall be the choice OF the
majority Of the Democratic voters OF
that ward. This object has been de-
feated time and again by friends Of
certain candidate. who. by scratch
ing the names of all The candidates
except one, secured the nomination
for their man over another who was
the choice Of larger number OF
voters. This is an old trick that has
been used In all kinds OF electicns by
all kinds OF people The section OF
the plan to which some of the com
mitteement are now Directing was
aimed directly at the trick. and II
h.ss the mark. There should be sucf
provision in the plan for every pri
mary IN which more than enc csndi
date for the same Office is 10 b.

Corrective Measures to Mar
ket'S Weak Points.
MONEY SITUATION BETTER
Most Notable Feature OF Changed
Condition is Lowest OF Week OF
Call Loan Rate-strong influence
from Western Railroads.


NEW YORK, April 29.-The stock
market today felt the benefit OF the
, corrective measures which have been
, applied to the weak points in the
situation. The effect was especially
notable in the money market, where
the call loan rate ran of to the low
est of the week. AS tOday's loans
on stock exchanges carry over until
Monday, this rate represents the end
OF the month condition. the conflict
with the May settlements not being
sufficient to keep the rate up. An
important factor in this was the cot
ton market settlement, the heavy no.
tees en- Man contracts being taken
care Of by the bull leaders in that
market. Estimates Of the weeks cur
rency movement showed a substantial
inflow of cash from other points and
a corresponding relief from the drain
OF the weeks gold exports and sub
treasury operations.
The sum total of these Withdrawals
reached the imposing figure of $l7.-
25S.00O The publication of these es-
Inmates had its part in the easier tone
which developed in the money mar
ket.
A strong influence was felt from the
report that the western railroads
have notified the Interstate Cons
merce Commission that they will file
schedules OF increased freight rates
next Monday.
