Our Representatives at Havana.

The State Department has definitely
cited the Cuban government to discharge
its duty in the matter of protecting the
American diplomatic representatives at
Havana from attack. For some time past
the minister of the United States and
the secretary of the legation have been
subjected to savage criticism by an organ
of the party opposed to the Cuban admin
istratiOn, eliminating in innuendoes and
virtual charges against their personal in
tegrity. This is the same paper that
few months ago assailed President
Gomez and the editor of it was depOrted.
Later he was permitted to return and
now continues the attack. though he has.
it is reported, shielded himself behind
the nominal editOrship of a representa-
tive sitting in the Cuban assembly, who
is thus immune from prosecution. The
United States cannot. of course. take &C
count of the political conditions in Cuba
which have led to these attacks. 1t must
look to the facts themselves, and it is
fully justified i'm demanding that the gov
American representatives full protection.
necessarily an offense. But when the
tions of alleged turpitude and is calcu-
lated to incite public antagonism without
cause, 1t is the duty of the government
represented by the officials thus assailed
to demand their protection. OF course,
the time may come in any such case
where the wisest course is to withdraw
the representative. not as punishment,
but as means of avoiding friction. Evil
IDENTIFY there is nothing in the Cuban stu
alton now to warrant or even suggest this
course. The State Department has APP
parently no reason to doubt the good
faith and propriety of conduct of its rep
resentatives at Havana, and in the par
ticular circumstances it would be unwise
and possibly provocative of further fric-
ton if the United States were to recoS-
nize the clamors of Cuban partsans and
by the withdrawal of it's minister and
secretary, even for the purpose of pro-
motion to other posts. give an excuse for
the inevitable declaration that their guilt
had been acknowledged by this govern
ment.

The District and National Taxes.

Elsewhere i'm The Star will be found
an article which bears upon the question
of the Districts participation in the up-
Keep of the national government through
the payment of federal taxes. with par
ticular reference TO statements made in
the course Of the debate in the House the
other day in which Representative john
son of Kentucky displayed a table giving
the federal contribution TO the District $
maintenance in terms of the proper
tomato shares Of the various states, divid-
ed among them according to population.
a clearly misleading and unsound method
of apportionment. Mr.. Johnson referred
to the government payments to the sup
port Of the District of Columbia as a
Subsidy" an obviously improper char
acterization. as developed in the course
of the debate that followed. 1t is shown
by the matter printed elsewhere that the
District is itself considerable contribu-
tor To the national upkeep. thus paying
on both sides of the capitals account. and
being the only contributor who has absO-
lutely nothing to say concern ng the dis
position of his contribution.
On the basis of the figures discussed
in this publication the District compares
most favora bly, in the matter of the pay
ment of federal taxes with the states,
Notwithstanding the great disparity in
area and population. For instance, dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80. 1909.
the District paid in internal revenue
taxes for the support of the national gov
eminent more than the combined contri-
buttons of Maine. Vermont, Mississippi.
North Dakota. Nevada. Oklahoma and
Wyoming Other facts are brought out
in this extract which go directly to the
point of proof that the District is not
medicant thriving upon the bounty of
other states, in enjoyment of subsidy
extracted without warrant and itself
bearing no proper share of the .rightful
burdens resting upon an American COM
munity.

The Democratic Dilemma.

William Barnes. jr., of Albany. some
times known as Boss Barnes. a politician
OF undoubted ability and acknowledged
fighting quality, is more interested just
now in the democratic dilemma than in
the proposition that the republicans and
the pToSressives get together. He
sights trouble ahead for the democrats,
and is banking somewhat on their record
for laundering. which he expects to see
heightened after March 4.
There is something in this forecast The
democrats are not a happy family. They
have troubles. and must meet them. They
have swatted protection with words, and
have now the opportunity to swat it with
deeds. Rhetorically. they have roasted
the trusts to a turn; but rhetoric alone is
poweIless against monopoly. And if
lamentations about an unelastic cur
rency availed. our currency would today
be the best ordered in the world.
But the democrats are advised of their
difficulties, and are straining every nerve
to adjust them. They well understand
what failure on any one of the three
problems in hand may cost. y tariff

cans and the proSressives have IA certain

vote on how much revenue shall he raised

A Scramble for Spells.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Democratic senators have not placed
themselves in an enviable light by the
attitude they have assumed toward
President Tafts nominations. and they
will have themselves to blame if during
the next four years the appointments of
the President are made the basis of con-
slant fractional conflict. BY refusing to
confirm the spending appointments the
democrats will justify the taunt of their
political opponents that eagerness for the
spoils of victory, rather than patriotic
craftsmanship. are the moving motives
of their policy. If at this stage they
stoop to such eXpedients to get control
of patronage the imagination falters at
the spectacle they are likely to present
to the nation when both houses of Con-
gress. as we'll as the executive, shall be
under their control.

Blinker was displeased. A man of
less culture and poise and wealth
would have sworn. But Blinker al
ways remembered that he was a gen
tleman-a thing that no gentleman
should do. So he merely looked bor-
ed while he rode in a hanson to the
center of disturbance, which was the
Broadway Office of Lawyer Oldport,
agent for the Blinker estate.

"Sit down." said double-chinned
sgray Lawyer Oldport. "The worst

ships of the rich! The papers are
not yet ready to sign. They will be
laid before you tomorrow at eleven.
You will miss another day. Twice

nose of a Binker. Be thankful that

The Blinker wealth was in lands,
tenements and Entertainments, as the
legal phrase goes. Lawyer 0ldport
had once taken Alexander in his lit
tie pulmonary gasoline runabout to
see the many buildings and rows of
buildings that he owned in the city.
For Alexander was sole heir. They
had amused Blinker very much. The
houses looked so incapable of pro-
ducing the big sums Of money that
Lawyer Oldport kept piling up in
banks for him to spend.
In the evening Blinker went to one
of his clubs, intending to dine. No
body was there except some old TO
gies playing whist Everybody was
out of town. But here he was kept
in like a schoolboy to write his name
over and over on pieces of paper.
His wounds were deep.
Blinker turned his back on the TO-
gies and said to the club steward,
who had come forward with some
nonsense about cold fresh salmon
