THE CUBAN "INSURRECTION.'

The word '.insurrectioD." at least III
its common Interpretation. may be lit
tie TOO formidable to apply to the dis
turbance which is now reported from III
Caney. in the province of Santiago Gle
Cuba. or it may not Evidently the Ha-
vana government is seriously concerned
over it. and it is hopeful and com
mendabIe indicat ton that vigorous meas
ures are heing pursued for the prompt
restoration of order Cuba is a country
in which even small disturbances cannot
safely be tolerated. A raid by half a
dozen chicken thieves, if unrebuked,
might in a few days grow to ominous
proportions.
The present uprising seems. however,
f. be a manifestation OF discomfort or an
exercise of blackmail rather than a
serious effort to overthrow the govern
ment There are many men in Cuba VINO
did more or less service in the last war
with Sp9fn and who think that they
have not vet been sufficiently paid for
it. These include a large number OF
negroes. who. in addition to desiring
pecuniary rewards, are ambitious OF
political distinction. There are those
among them who have the notion that
the country owes them living. And
as they became accustomed during the
Sranish war TO taking TO the WOODS
and conducting a bushwhacking cam
paign. they naturally reTert to the same
practices to attain their present ends.
They think thus to take as loot some OF
the pecuniaTy compensation to when
they imagine themselves entitled. and
also thus to bully or to blackmail the
government into doing something for
them.
This is q state of affairs which many
other countries have had to deal with
for some years after the close of war,
especially of q civil war. We were
not free from it ourselves a gener-
alton ago. 1t is more severe and dan
gerous among some peoples than among
others, and perhaps it nowhere re-
quires more iudicious treatment than
in the mercurial and impulsive Queen
of the Antilles Probably it can be
entirely eradicated only by the lapse
of time and its inevitable results. When
q new generation has arisen in the
island. which knew not the struggle with
Spain. we shall see new Cuba and one
more easy to govern. Until then, for the
next twenty years. there will probably
be occasional disturbances, though we
may expect 10 see them diminishing in
frequency and seriousness. Meantime
the Havana government will do well to
remember that eternal vigilance is the
price not alone of liberty, but equally of
authority of order and of independence.

DEBT AND CONSERVATION.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The Baltimore American Of July
20 gave letter you printed from b. n.
Baker on conservation, which was a reply
to an editorial in The New York Times. =
and which. in turn. was a reply to The
Tribune's statement
Mr. Baker has caused some doubts of
his fitness as national conservator by going
TO great lengths of late in proposing and
working for the construction of an ornate
boulevard between Baltimore and Wash
inston, at cost, to start with, of some
SS9ooo.o0o. This totally unnecessary boule-
ward calls for funds and help from all the
states, from the national government and
from foreign nations as we'll A committee
OF one hundred has been appointed TO
work in the interests OF the boulevard
Miss Jane Adams. of Chicago Hull
House, is FIRST on this list of one hundred.

House, has been called by a Chicago daily

the exception in which further debt might

The question for the country TO ask Mr..
Baker is this. Are you going to conserve
things or are YOU going to run us into
further immediate debt for proposed
future advantages? Not a man In the

WHY SHOULDN'T THEY SMOKE?
Not Unladylike for Women if Not
Ungentlemaniy for Men.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: One who is not hampered by an
cient notions Of woman's inability to think
and act for herself cannot fail to be
amused at the discussion relative to the
female sex and cigarettes There is moth
ing much more ridiculous than a sex nine
tenthS of the members of which, accord
ing to a medical authority, use tobacco
becoming Mortified at the idea of another
sex fndulging mildly In the use of cigar
cites. not because it is injurious to the
health, but because Z Is ''unIadylike' No
one believes that it is ungentIemanly for
a man to smoke cigars. a pipe the
much discussed cigarette itself, but the
man who insists that an after dinner
smoke is absolutely essential to his hap
piness. because, perchance. it settles his
nerves. would throw a fit if his WIFE, who
had been worried with the care of chill
dren, servants, butchers, bakers and a
thousand and one other things. should in
sist upon her right to the same remedy
for nervousness.
Inconsistency has been looked upon as
an attribute Of the gentier sex but MOTH
ing could be more inconsistent than the
attitude of men toward the use of to-
bacco by the male and female sexes.
There isn't the slightest reason why what
is sauce for the goose should not, in this
instance, be sauce for the gander, and If
there is no more serious objection to a
greater intimacy between my lady and My
Lady Nicotine than that the habit is un-
ladylike, the female sex should feel per-
fectly free to smoke as generally as does
the male sex. This will be one way to get
rid of some traditions which are hamper
ing the progress of women.

NEW TRIALS OF TTBERCTLIN.

IN the latest issue of The New York
Medical Journal" there are two articles
dealing with the use Of tuberculin for
remedial purposes. One is contributed
by DR.. James Alexander Miller, pro-
fessor of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons and director of the Bellevue
tuberculosis clinic. The other comes
from Or. Henry Mason King. chief
physician at the Loomis sanatorium, in
Sullivan County. \. Y. Both writers dis
cuss the size of the dose which they
think it safe to administer, one of them
incidentally referring TO the amount ap-
proved by DR. Trudeau, of Saranac
Lake. They also consider the frequency
with which the remedy should be given
and the length Of time during which.
when the treatment is deemed advisable
at all it should be continued They
agree in thinking that tuberculin cannot
be employed advantageously in every
case of consumption and regard a spe-
cial study of the requirements of each

The world will do well to sit up and
take notice of the truly epochal discoy-

the eminent ocIllist and phlologiSt of
Berlin. DR. Hirschberg. We are told that
he has been devoting himself TO elab-
crate researches into the etymOlogy of
the word graft" with the result that
he now confidently affirms that its origin
is not obscure, as is porularly supposed
but dates from an Oldtime gardening
''idiom. which was later adopted by the
medical profession Moreover. 'the
root Of the word, Hirschberg discovers,
lies in the Greek 'grafeion. Et Get

French ''greffe.' and to the word graft
