ENGLISH SPEECH IN CUBA.

The proposal, which seems likely TO be
made effective, to abolish the teaching
Of the English language in the schools Of
Cuba is unfavorably commented upon as
manifestation Of ingratitude toward
the United States. We should prefer TO
than here This country concerns itself
with facts and rights rather than with
sentiments. 1t certainly is not soliciting
gratitude from Cuba or from any one
else If Cuba does not care TO show. or
thinks she has no cause 10 show, graft

United States can doubtless manage to
get along pretty comfortably and pros
perously without It. And we assuredly
should not for a moment wish Cuba to
do anything just for our sake which
would be contrary or prejudlcial to her
own interests.
much stronger criticism of the pro-
posed exclusion Of English would be that
II would be against the interests Of Cuba.
There is no overlooking the fact that
cOmmerclal ana social relations between
Cuba and the United States are close
and are sure to continue close, as they
have long been. AS by far the smaller
Of the two countries. that connection Is
OF chief value to her. We could get along
without Cuba far better than Cuba could
get along without us. Therefore it is for
Cuba rather than for us to promote and
to cultivate the close relationship. 1t Is
for Cuba TO learn our language rather
than for us to learn hers. On that
ground It may be unwise. from her own
selfish point Of view for Cuba to drop
the study Of English from her public
schools
In so doing, moreover, she would he

THE STATE or THE MAINE.

The condition in which the hulk of
the Maine has been found IS precisely
what might have been expected. For
more than thirteen years the wreck has
lain at the bottom Of harbor which is
the recipient Of a great deal of filth and
which is practically devoid of tides or
other currents which would wash away
the sediment which inevitably settles
upon such objects. Therefore it has be-
come filled in every accessible cavity,
and deeply coated over, with a partiCu-
larly dense and adhesive deposit, the
removal of which is, of course, neceS-
Saly and will entail much work. The
removal of it will be watched carefully,
no doubt, for the sake Of any human re-
mains or other objects Of value which it
may contain.
That the steel structure has been
greatly cOrrOded and weakened, so that
ii is doubtful if it is strong enough to
bear being raised and fioated, is not in
the least surprising, and we are not sure
that IT is much to be regretted, save as
posing OF the hulk. 1t would seem to be
desirable TO have the examination of the
hulk, to determine if possible the char
acter Of the explosion, made while 1t
lies in it's present place and before it
is disturbed in any way save to free it
from water and mud. 1t may not be as
convenient to do it there as it would be
in drydock. TO which the hulk might be
conveyed, but it will give greater as
surance Of accuracy in observation, and
that, rather than mere convenience, Is
desirable. The raising and removal of
it would necessarily be attended with
many changes in the disposition Of the
parts, some Of which might confuse in
vestigation. 1t will be best to examine
the wreck where it lies.

THE FLAG AT MIDDLEBROOk'

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. Circumstantial evidence alone might

That II was in Washngtons possession

Trnntor end Princeton is proved beyond
cavil by two portraits Of him painted pV
his officers. one by Charles wilson Peaie
ana the other by Trumbull. Both pictures
are hanging now in the public buildings III
Washington. Both are admittedly accurate
"a 70 details and were painted just AFTER
the two engagements.
Furthermore. as washington undouot-
edIv asked Congress to adopt the stars

was done without debate the records fall

the headquarters knew I'm advance 1t would

that It was also in their possession ana no
Doubt hying from their staff pole at MID
dlebrook even before June H.
II is therefore purely n matter whether
tho army Headquarters had or had not the
Stars and Stripes In their possession during
that June. The two paintings referred 70
allow no other idea than that they ala
have II. It's adoption by Congress was
surely automatic in its effect or working
and IL the flag was flying any day during
their encampment at Middlebrook after
June IA, then 1t was at the heights or
Middlebrook where the Stars and Stripes
first flew over the Continental army after
its official adoption. The nation had no
flag until that time.
As many Of your readers are doubtless
interested in American history, l hope this
controversy may bring out some undiscov-
cred evidence either by a document or
local book OF history. further supporting
the contention OF the Washington Camp

TOO EAMILIAR.

I'm the matter of colloquialiZing his
Christian name Senator jeff Davis, or
Arkansas. has found an enthusiastic imi-
tator in the House of Representatives
"The Congressional Record Of June IL
contains a speech credited to '1on. Pat
Harrison" Of Mississippi. When he pre-
pared a sketch of himself for THE Con-
gressional Record at the beginning OF
his service the name Of the statesman
in question was Byron Patton Harri-
son. Now that romantic collocation Is
abridged to mere Pat.
Senator Davis undoubtedly thought
that there was some political advantage
to be gained in appropriating the nick
name Of the first and only President or
the defunct Confederacy. He was proba-
bly, playing to the Arkansas "hill-billies,"
az is his wont. But what virtue can MI.
Harrison see in IIibernanizing Patton
into pat? 1t is an imposture which
could hardly delude the "hill-billies' or
Mississippi-if there are any citizens
so classifiable In that state. Why should
n Representative want to shed his real
name for an unnatural and unconyinc-
ing abbrevation? The public does not
relish such liberties with the nomen
clature of craftsmanship. Statesmen
ought to avoid being too familiar. Mr..
Harrison should take 10 heart the dis
cipline recently administered to the Hon.
Richmond T. Hobson for the offence OF
addressing an Alabama audience minus
his "burying coat"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-06-18

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: There is a reason for the present
widespread shortage of water that 1 think
f. not at all understood, but to which be-
lievs I have a clew in the theory and ex-
periments made by Henry Draper several
years ago, and which, I have been studying
for a long time. Diapers theory was this:
The earth is great dynamo. creating a
current OF electricity by It's own motion,
and all thunderstorms are caused by
moisture rising from the earth, and in hot
weather finally rising high enough to reach
this current. Water being conductor of
electricity. as soon as enough Of 1t reaches
this current 1t causes a disturbance that
we call lightning. This condenses the
water or moisture I'm the atmosphere and
gives us a shower
Draper was so sure that his theory was
correct that he took party OF men and
went to tho Rocky Mountains to prove It,.
When near the top of a high peak he found
electricity strong enough TO telegraph from
ono peak to another without the aid OF
wires. I believe this was the first trial Of
wireless telegraphy. Soon after making
these experiments and publishing them he
died, ana. SO far as know. no one has ever
carried the experiments further.
In recent years thunderstorms have be-
come less frequent and less severe in this
part OF tho United States. Moreover. after
nearly every storm now we have two or
three days OF foggy damp weather. The
atmosphere does not clear up as 1t used TO
do at once after thunderstorm. Why?
As We have Increased tho use OF electricity
these storms have grown less frequent In
proportion as this current that we arc
using acts in the Same way that the one
above u' does. Also, as tho evaporation
from the earth directly after shower Is
much more rapid than at any other time
this lower current causes the foggy. damp
weather. This is simply theory. OF course
but believe 1t is correct THEORIST

THE COMFY ISLAND OPPORTUNITY

1t is made known that at least four
Of the borough presidents are in favor
Of Increasing the city's park space at
the seashore whenever opportunity
arises That is most welcome assur-
ance, for it logically means that they
are in favor of adopting The Trbune's
suggestion Of the prompt acquisition OF
that part of Coney Island which was
recently burned over.
For there can he no question as to the
presence Of unique opportunity. IT Is
solely because the opportunity has been
presented that the matter of seaside
park extension has been brought up at
all. Before the fire there was no thought
of acquiring property which was COW
cred with buildings for which a high
price would have had TO he paid and
which then would have had TO be de-
molished. The opportunity arose with
the fire which swept the buildings away
and left nothing but the bare land to be
acquired
The resolution of the Board Of Alder
men dealing with the subject is COM
mendably framed. 1t requests the Board
of Estimate to take the necessary steps
for acquiring the land. There IS no
suggestion Of considering the desira-
bility of such acquisition. That, goes
without saying OF course, the title to
the land must be assured. and the Ques-
ton Of acquisition by direct purchase
or through condemnation proceedings
should be carefully considered. But
those processes are logical part of the
necessary steps" TO which the resolu-
ton refers.
No mistake will be made in taking
prompt advantage Of the opportunity
now presented; on the contrary, through
the acquisition of that area for seaside
park benefactiOn of great value will he
conferred upon this city for all time.

THE CLEVELAND MEMORIAL.

The raising Of the fund for the Cleve-
land memorial tower at Princeton, y. D.,
and the assurance that the work will be
begun in the near future and will be
eypeditiously pressed to completion are
cause for general satisfaction. 1t Is
desirable to erect memorials of men VINO
have filed important places In our pub
! lie life. though the doing of this Is so
often attended with delay and pecuniary
embarrassment that many persons have
come TO regard such undertakings with
prudent reluctance. 1t is homogeneous
with the very spirit and purpose of the
memorials to have them wait for years
Ia-hegging for funds. or to remain for a
! long time half finished. The years or
incompletion of the Washington Monu-
ment mt the national capital and the de-
Law over the erection of a fitting tomb
for General Grant in this city are re-
membered with humiliation. 1t Is re-
| freshing 10 know that three years after
his death arrangements are perfected for
the building Of suitable memorlal 10

There will he none TO question. either,
the propriety' Of such memorial. The
controversies which Mr.. Cleveland pro-
vGked or In which he was involved dur
ing his distinguished public career are
still fresh in mind. and the disagreement
with some Of his policies which was Wig
orously expressed has by no means
abated. The personal rancor which I'M
fortunately was manifested. perhaps
more by a disaffected faction of his own
party than by the opposing party, has
however happily passed away. In per-
snective he has gained and not lost es-
teen. Apart, moreover. from his per-
sonal qualities and performances, 1t was
Mr.. Cleveland's fortune to be conspicu-

not be needed for building purposes for
another generation, but which now Is
almost entirely abandoned and unpro'
ductive. In some cases 1t has come to
be- neglected through the dying out or
moving away Of the families which for
merly cultivated It; in some it has fall
Ell into the hands Of spectators, who
are simply holding 1t for rise In price;
and in some it has been deliberately
taken out Of cultivation by its owners
and divided into building lots" with
the mistaken idea that thus purchasers
at fancy prices will be attracted. There
are thousands Of acres which were thus
dealt with ten or twenty years ago and
which remain to-day just as they were
then. and in all these years there has
not been enough got from them to pay
the taxes.
It is a foolish and wasteful. policy to
let all this land lie idle. 1t would be
easily possible to cultivate much OF 1t
so as to pay a good profit above the
taxes and interest on the value. There
is little better land in the world and
none more accessible to the best of mar
kets. If affords an inviting opportunity
for the cultivation Of fruits and vege-
tables, for poultry raising and even Tor
dairying, and 1t also suggests at least
a partial solution of the problems OF
urban congestion An organized move
ment for the Improvement Of these
lands would, we believe, promise grati'
fying results.

SEBTRRAN AGRICULTURE.

The suggestion Of Mr.. Harte, state
Senator from Queens County, that a
city Department of Agriculture should
be provided for in the new charter of
New York, may at first seem fantastic
to those who regard the metropolis as
entirely alien to rural pursuits, and in
deed it may not upon mature consid-
Grafton be found practical or desirable;
but 1t really does seem to contain the
expression OF principle which should
be Of value to the suburban districts
which are comprised within the politi-
cal boundaries of this city, and still
more to the semi-rural zone without that
boundary That principle is that all
land should be utilized, and that until
it is needed for building purposes some
way should be found Of keeping it I'M
der profitable cultivation.
Mr.. Harte estimates that there are
forty thousand acres Of available farm
land within the city limits which will
not be needed for building within fif-
teen years. That does not seem an ex-
travagant estimate. Some of ii is still
cultivated but probably most OF 1t Is
lying idle. II is supposed to be too val
liable and too highly taxed for agricult-
ural purposes, and so it Is left idle until
it shall be demanded for building pur-
poses. 1t is easy to argue that this is a
mistaken theory. Granted that the land
Is too valuable TO pay, through farm
ing, the taxes and interest on its mar
ket value, there Is still no reason why
some return should not be got from
cultivating IT, It's owner had better
lease it at a rate that would permit the
lessee to cultivate it profitably than to
get nothing at all from II. And the ex-
ceptional returns which could be got
from cultiyating 1t would enable n
shrewd agriculturist to pay consider
able rental
More convincing still is the case of
the hundreds Of thousands of acres of
prime farming land lying within the
Communication zone around this city,
which generation ago was under high
and profitable cultivation, which will
