The Presidency of Cuba.The people of Cuba would do well to

"read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest"the letter which Senor Estrada Palma hasaddressed to Senor Kigueredo on the sub¬ject of the Cuban presidency. It shows a

clear insight into the whole Cuban situa¬tion. and is at once a call to duty and a

warning. The Cubans may see by reflect¬ing upon its suggestions not only what isessential to success In inaugurating inde¬pendent government for themselves, buthow swift and certain failure will be ifthey neglect or refuse to work together atthe start for the common good. Govern¬ment by parties is a good thing, and partycontests are necessarily spirited and some¬

times acrimonious; but intense party spiritcannot be indulged in at the inception of

governmental enterprise without Injury toeverybody. "United, we stand: divided, we

fall." The Cubans would do well to believethat unless they unite on some general fea¬tures of government they cannot hope tostand at all.The fact is that again, at this time, the

Cubans have need of some of the spirit ofconcession to one another that character¬ized them at the time of the armed revoltagainst Spain. There were different viewsprevailing then as to the best plan of pro¬cedure. but they were compromised intoone workable line of action: and that was

adopted, and it led to success. The com¬mon enemy was of more moment than theopinions of any one leader, no matter whatthe measure of his devotion to Cuba. Andso there is the necessity now for a compro¬mise of views on the subject of the new

government. The common good ought to beof more moment than the opinions of anyone leader or set of leaders; and if that Isnot ascertained In a spirit of toleration andconcession, and a plan of procedureadopted which shall insure harmony be¬tween the executive and the legislative de¬partments in starting the wheels to turn¬ing, Cuba's future will not spell prosperity.Nothing is more safely to be predictedthan that.Senor Palma speaks modestly of his own

abilities for a man who has lived for some

years in the United States and been in con- itact with our politicians. There is no Ileader in either party with us who doesnot feeL himself equal to the duties of thepresidency of the United States, and is notwilling to offer bond for their faithful andsuccessful performance. But Cuba is notAmerica, and Senor Palma knows his own

people.. > »

I.nwnon and Ilia Boat.The decision of Mr. Thomas Lawson to

destroy his yacht Independence in case shecannot obtain a contest with craft of herclass sailing under the colors of the NewYork Yacht Club does not strengthen theposition of that gentleman before the publicin the matter of his unfortunate contro¬versy. Mr. Lawson has built a racing craffwhich has developed some tine qualities,though not proving herself as yet quite theequal of either Columbia or Constitution.It is possible that after a tinal tuning theBoston boat, with her unusual lines, mightshow a superior form in an average of per¬formances. As the case stands, she hasnot met expectations. If she is destroyedshe will remain in the minds of most peo¬ple either a mystery or, more probably, a

failure. Mr. Lawson's decision smacksstrongly of the petulance of the small boywho smashes his kite because the otherchildren refuse to play with him.

?The western farmer is unable to see how

any administration could have prevented a

drouth, and the eastern farmer is wellpleased with the prices resulting from a

scarcity of his products. On the whole, thesituation, calamitous though it may be insome respects, presents very little encour¬

agement to populism. .

The -United States by paying off its own

debts and lending money to Europe makesit plain that prosperity as a national propo¬sition is no myth.

Discordant Ant i-Iniperlal lata.The articles by ex-Senator Edmunds and

ex-Secretary Bout well in the North Ameri¬can Review for August present a curiousdiversity of comment from the anti-im¬perialist standpoint upon the SupremeCourt decisions In the Insular tariff cases.Mr. Edmunds seems to accept JusticeBrown's opinion and reasoning In theDownes case as that of the court, and on

that basis pronounces happy the states ofthe northwest that have "ceased to be ter¬ritories ' and are delivered from the des¬potism . . of a Congress . . whosepower over their lives, liberties, fortunesand happiness was restrained by no con¬stitutional barrier." Mr. Boutwell show3that Justice Brown's contention on thispoint was not sustained by any of his as¬sociates, and that Congress is, under thedecisions, restrained by constitutional bar¬riers in dealing wUh territories as wellas statvs; and in the light of the opinionsrendered Mr. Boutwell Is hopeful that allof our recent acquisitions will soon be or¬

ganized and incorporated as territories andthus be made an integral part of the UnitedStates as those words are employed in cer¬tain sections of the Constitution.Mr. Boutwell Is clearly the more accurate

In his interpretation of the tribunal's ver¬dict. But his conclusion suggesting a vir¬tual triumph for antl-lmperiallst principlesin that verdict is not so convincing. TheImperialistic contention, in substance, wasthat the power should be recognized inCongress to treat recently annexed terri¬tory. for so long a period as the nationaland territorial welfare might require, asnot within the "United States" in the sensein which those words are employed in therevenue uniformity and national citizenshipclauses of the Constitution. The SupremeCourt has confirmed this power in Con¬gress. which is also givon the discration oftaking such action with reference to In¬corporating the annexed territory as willcause this power of discrimination to cease.The power exists until Congress Itself

takes the steps defined by the SupremeCourt which will terminate It. This au¬thority is all that is required for the pro¬tection of the national welfare, and is allthat any imperialist should desire or ex¬pect. The point at issue was the existenceof a power, capable of being exercised whenneeded; and the decision against the anti-Imperlallxts on this issue is not at all weak¬ened even if Congress in the present caseshould in its discretion exercise the power

only for a short period, or even refrainfrom exercising it at all.Mr. Edmunds discovers a distinction to

the detriment of modern republican spiritin the slight differences of wording in theacts giving Jefferson the power to adminis¬ter Louisiana territory and McKinley thepower to administer the Philippines. Jef¬ferson, Mr. Edmunds says, was empoweredonly to administer existing laws; McKinleywas authorized to set up and execute alllaws thought by him to be necessary.Before Cbngress acted Jefferson was to

execute the existing laws of the despoticgovernment of Louisiana colony withoutany power to modify them on republicanlines; McKinley in enforcing the Spanishlaws in the Philippines was, it is said, em¬powered by Congress to make such modiil-cations. Which method of treatment ismore republican, more democratic, moreAmerican in tendency? Mt. Edmunds'construction of the Ijouisiana act makes itan unconstitutional re-enactment by Con¬gress of all the oppressive and despoticlaws then existing in Louisiana, and acommand to the President of a free re¬public to enforce without modification thismonarchical system.The historian Henry Adams says of tho

acquisition of Louisiana:"Within three years of his inauguration

Jefferson bought a foreign colony withoutits consent and against its will, annexed Itto the United States by an act which hesaid made blank paper of the Constitution;and then he who bad found his predeces¬sors too monarchical and the Constitutiontoo liberal in its powers . . . madehimself monarch of the new territory andwielded over it against its protests thepowers of its old kings."Of the bill for the temporary government

of Louisiana passed later, Thomas H. Ben¬ton says:"It was a startling bill, continuing the

existing Spanish government; putting thePresident in the place of the King of Spain;putting all the territorial officers in placeof the king's officers, and placing the ap¬pointment of all these officers In the Presi¬dent alone, without the consent of the Sen¬ate. Nothing could be more Incompatiblewith our Constitution than such govern¬ment.a mere emanation of Spanish despo¬tism, in which all powers, civil and mili¬tary, legislative, executive and judicial,were in the intendant-general representingthe king; and where the people, far frompossessing political rights, were punishablearbitrarily for presuming to meddle withpolitical subjects."Mr. Edmunds suggestion is to the effect

that the Taft government in the Philip¬pines would be more in harmony withAmerican and republican principles andthe spirit of the Constitution If it had beenforbidden by Congress to inject Into thelaws anything of Americanism and repub¬licanism and had been authorized merelyto perform executive functions, substitut¬ing itself for the governor-general and thefriars who represented the King of Spainin applying to the Filipinos the despoticlaws and governmental system which thepeople had found unbearable and againstwhich they had revolted. On this theorythe King of Spain is preferred to the Presi¬dent of the United States as temporarylaw-maker In a new territorial acquisitionduring the preliminary transition periodwhich continues until Congress gets readyto act.

Queues.A serious proposition has been advanced

recently in this country by the Chinese re¬form leaders, calling for a general ruttingoff of queues in the interest of progress.It is believed that several thousand China¬men will respond to the summons by j-acrl-ficing their pigtails on the altar of reform.This means, of course, more than a mere

surrender of a personal adornment. Itmeans that the queueless Chinaman can¬not return to his own country until the re¬form has taken root there in official soil.Curtailment was one of the radical meas¬ures proposed by Kwang Su In the days ofhis reform enterprise, but it was not for¬mally promulgated and bore no results.The queue is described by some writers onChinese affairs as really a badge of serTvility, having been decreed by the Man-churian conquerors. It is worn, however,today by Manchus and Chinamen alike, andit must have lost Its significance If it wasever thus meant to denote the subject race.It is difficult to see what advantage 's tobe gained in behalf of real progress inChina by the curtailment of all the China¬men in America. Reform is not wantedhere, but in the home country, and eventhere the abandonment of the queue willnot of itself signify much unless the re¬forms strike deep at the roots of the evilsof which civilization complains. The denu¬dation of the Chinese head might perhapsfollow as a result of a reform, but it issurely not to be considered as a token ofadvancement at this stage. It would bebetter. Indeed, to do nothing to prevent thereturn to China of the celestials who haveImbibed modern ideas here, and who mightserve as missionaries of the new thoughtof the western world among their country¬men. Queueless, they would be objects ofscorn, if they escaped official rebuke alive.China must be brought to reform throughsome other medium than the scalp.The theory of the San Francisco police

that one man planned and executed thegold smelter robbery renders the crime ofmore interest than otherwise. It was a re¬markably clever achievement on the firstassumption that a gang had conducted it.If a single man did the work It becomesone of the most extraordinary pieces ofcriminal craftsmanship on record.

* e mThe Ilallooa Experiments.

Santos-Dumont's painful experience yes¬terday demonstrates the danger now at¬tendant upon the use of a gas bag as thebasis of aerial navigation. The Inventorexplains that the bag was not sufficientlyfilled to render K stable against a puff ofair, but the fact remains that when thebag is filled to the safety point It offers anunyielding surface to the wind, and Istherefore liable to sudden lurches as theunsteady currents strike It at various an¬gles. Some day science may discover agas much more rare than the hydrogennow used for flotation, suitable for use inballoons or airships, which will permitthe employment of a smaller bag and theconsequent reduction of the dancer whichbesets the balloonist. But it Is difficult toconceive a gas so rare as to be capableof lifting proportionately much greater

weights, volume for volume, and yet to besafely confined within the walls of ballaon-maklng materials. The rarer the gas themore readily It leaks through the pores ofthe containing envelope. But in any eventthere would remain the factor of a bulkybody handicapping the motor and the steer¬ing apparatus. Santos-Dumont's expe¬riences quicken the expectation that themost practicable development In this linewill be through the aeroplane, which willutilize the very currents which now tendto prevent success.

Senor Palma predicts that the first ad¬ministration of Cuba's new government willencounter much trouble and disagreement.However, Cuba knows where to come forgood advice, if It will avail itself of the op¬portunity.

parts of the United States if the bandagewere removed from her eyes and a modernweapon substituted for the Roman sword.

SHOOTING STARS.

Drawingr a Distinction."I was in the South African war," said

one Englishman."General?" asked the other."No. Journalist.""Oh, I see. You were a reporter; not a

regretter."

Handicapped by Circumstances."He has told me he loved me," said the

fair girl, confidingly; "but I don't knowwhether to marry him or not.""Don't you think he tells the truth?""I am sure he does his bsst to tell the

truth. But, you see, he works in theweather bureau."

A Great Inducement."Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torklns,

"I almost wish we were living in China.""With all the hatred for foreigners that

exists there?""I know it would be embarrassing. But

since they smashed the Forbidden City,just think how cheap bric-a-brac must beselling in Pekin."

The Difference.A word of wisdom is forgot;

It swiftly disappears.But if you say a foolish thingIt worries you for years.

Out of the Ordinary."That foreign nobleman who wants to

marry you "

"Yes, father," answered the fair girl. "Iam sure he loves me.""But are you sure he's a genuine foreign

nobleman?""Why do you doubt him?""I asked him about his debts, and he

said he didn't owe a cent."

Still In the F*uture.When we've gotten China quiet,When the Boers are whipped for keeps,

When the anarchist quits howlingAnd the dynamite sleeps;

When the man who makes the weaponsIs no longer subsidized. .

When we don't hate one another.Then we'll all be civilized.

But never mind my halo;You can let my harp oe still;

I won't need any crown as yet;Perhaps, some day, I will.

Of course we'll all be civilized,A happy, harmless crew;

But ere we reach that blessed stateWe'll wait a year or two.

Public Baths and Bathing.From the Newark Advertiser.In the matter of public baths the aver¬

age American city is barbaric. In NewJersey the only decent public bathing fa¬cilities exist in Newark, and these arecomparatively limited. A city as large asCamden has no public baths. Japan islooked upon by us as semi-civilized, and,therefore, inferior. But in the city ofTokio alone there are more than 800 publicbaths. We can go to Japan to learn howto be publicly clean. We sum up the re¬sults of the last two thousand years of hu¬man experience in the word "progress."But in public cleanliness we have progress¬ed crab fashion. Twenty centuries ago thecities of the Roman empire contained nu¬merous magnificent public baths. Thestate expected every citizen to wash. Wedon't need the elaborate Roman system ofbaths, but we do need bathing houses forthe general public and baths for the schoolchildren, the latter more especially In thedistricts where the poor abound. The suc¬cess of a recent experiment of baths in aschool house in New York will serve toIntroduce baths In other public schools inthat city. Perhaps also private philan¬thropy will, in this respect, come to theaid of the school authorities.

Prevention of Malaria.From the Philadelphia Preaa.Just how the building up of cities and

the consequent draining of fresh waterpools and swamps drives away malariaIs shown in that, as Commissioner JohnB. Cosby of the board of health of NewYork points out. "out of an estimated pop¬ulation this year in the five boroughs of3,530,517 we have had only fourteen casesof death attributed to malaria. Post-mor¬tem examinations would probably revealthat those subjects had other complica¬tions." This shows that if you keep themalaria-bearing mosquitoes from breedingyou keep down the chance of infection,and on the other hand, with no infectedmaterial in the shape of malarial patientsavailable, the pathogenic mosquito is un¬able to become an agency in the transmis¬sion of disease, so that once clean up a re¬gion of malaria and it will stay cleaned up,as the disease cannot originate by itself inthe mosquito.

. . ?

A Cool Roof.From the Philadelphia Inquirer.No one denies chat this Is & great age

Business triumphs and the arts could notfairly be said to languish. The professionsare busy and science advances. And. look¬out over the seething roofs of a great hotcity, and remembering how science hasadvanced, we ask again, can science notinvent some kind of a roof which will re¬tain coolness Instead of heat? Not 'amealone would be the reward of such an in¬ventor.

Libraries la Southern Schools.Prom Public Opinion.An act of the general assembly of North

Carolina To encourage the establishmentof libraries in the public schools of therural districts." provides that when anycountry school district shall have raised $10for the establishment of a library, thecounty and state boards of education shalleach contribute $10 more for the purchaseof books. The libraries thus gathered are

fr** of charge at the disposal bothof the school children and their parents,and'Provision la made for the Interchangeof the libraries from school to schoofsothat each may have the benefit of all.
