Cuban Conditions unci Prospects.
When public opinion in this country
pi.nhed past the peace-at-an -price
dement and dcclatcd war, that element
df elded to woik off its chagrin at the
espont-e of the Cuban Insurgents. Since
li could not. verv well play traitor to
its own cnuntrj, " immediately started
to dlhcredlt the put pose fir which tire
war was begun, in hope of making
Americans Mck of their bargain. To
this determination chiefly we are in
debted for the activity with which a
pottle n of the American press has late
ly been holding the Cuban e-aut'e up to
ridicule. Nobody has been deceived
ly this activity who has taken p.Uns
to Keep in touch with the faets; and
nobody at all will be deceived long.
The Cubans are not s.ilnu. Tiny ate
nut prodigies of valor or dlriPtlon.
They have their good points and their
bad points and the latter aie much
more numerous than they ought to be
and than they will be In cour-e of time.
The Cubans are what a, century of
Spanish misrule, vith Its negation of
Cuban rights, Its hostility to Impiove-irr-nt
and its utter neglect of inoialcand
public Ins-tiuctton, lias made them; tno
masses of them are poor, ignorant and,
in the main, thiiftlettsbelng of Latin
blood they are also mercmial, and hav
ing had so long to counterplot ngalnst
their Spanish oppressors, they have be
come by nature fuitlve, suspicious and
tricky. We speak now, of course, of
the average Cuban as found in Cuba
the real child of the soil.
Hut the? capacity of tile Cuban for
d velopment is shown in the splendid
character, ability and attainments of
those Cubans who hae enjoyed the op
jnii tunltles of education In the Vnited
f-latis and who are toduy the direct
ing influences in the Island's piesent
involution, as they will be In command
win n it shall have gained its ficedom
and set out to guide its own balk or
Independent statehood. Hintory Is elo
quent with teioids of the quick tnins
fc rmatlon which has come in the chai
ucter and mosaic of a people of mu
i.ral ability who. having long suf
ltied undet oppiession. aie given at
last the inspiration and the incentive
of freedom. We cull see the beginning
of the transformation between the lines
of (Jenctai Gomez's latest proclamation
to his troot, which after notifying
them of the coming of Anieitian res
cue pioceeds in the following strain:
1 take this occasion to icminil each Cu
ban In Uu sen leu Unit he now Ims a
country iccognizcd. fct which he nnm
ilBht with nl! honor and glory. Hi Is now
ii Cuban soldier nod nut uii insurgent, and
will respect the rules ol civilized vv.cr
f.nc. 1 will older punished any chlel, olh
c. r oi private who fully to respect tbo
riphti of our prisoners of war, and sneli
pi i. oners will be m-uteel with respect lo
their ranks nnd aecuicilng to ilu rules ot
civilled coin tries and thu constitutional
arm). Our soldlm will conduct them
fi'hox in such manner it a to gain for
themselves the good olllccs of our brttl-.
r. ii of thu fnltcd fin te und for tills
reason it is my wish that the- arniv of
f'ulti may exhibit model discipline. 1 de
sue to impress upon you that we will not
contlriuo this vw. whirli has been so gal
lantlv kept up for the last tnrce jijls,
with the idea of reveinre We nre lighting
for liberty and independence and not for
revenge, anc I would call .votir attention
to the fact that the hlstuiy of the vvurll
snows that loss of blood ha-c ulwavs bcu
tl.c price of llbcrtj. Notwithstanding vo
mint ever remember nur dead martvrs to
the cause of Cuban fieeelcm and tight tlio
good light, nnd It will not he long before
eveiy Ppanlrh soldier wM have left our
soil. We havo hud to contend ngalnt a
most cruel enni, one which Ii.ih known
no honor, and Its methods of wurfnro
have been most harharous und ever.v net
of Spain has Hhriwn Its thlist for blootl
and desire to trample down and anni
hilate the people of Cuba I do not desire
that our army shall umulate Its example,
but I would piefer that our methods of
war be those of civilized nations, that
we may show to the enemv that thoso
whom they urn lighting arc moio honor
able than themselves. .
Though In this outburst wo can per
ceive evidences of that .firiuidlloquence
of rhetoric which Is a molal character
istic of nil Latin peoples, yet the es
sential strain in It Is a new pride, n
prldo which has not been with the
avciago Cuban buforo ns an incentive
entering Into his dully thoughts and
actions the pride of recognition, of
dawning responsibility. 'We who have
always had freedom and who tako it
as a matter of course, thinking little
of its importance, cun havo ibut faint
conception of what the effect is likely
to be upon the Cuban people of the
knoYvledse.whi'n It comes home to them,
Nek t?J?-fttL-J
-
that the Iouk struggle against Spain;
the struggle, which has engulfed gen
eration after generation, drenching
each with blood nnd punctuating It
with ruin, Is about to end in the real
ization of the traditional aspiration.
Why, we wonder, should any Ameri
can rejoice or gloat over discoveries
that the Cubans In arms have been
further reduced In foifuno and In num
bers than was recently believed In this
country? Why should It be paraded as
a topic for Jest and satire that the
Cuban army has been found by our
otllcers to he more ragged, more bittle
worn nnd Ium formidable in fighting
strength than we had been led to sup
poie? The fact that It has jeslsted
until Spain has reached the limit of
its tyranny In Cuba attests Its deter
mination nnd each now proof of its
suffering and sacrifice should augment
rather than lessen American sympathy
and respect. It Is probable that the
Continentals at Valley Forge nfforded
the Tories equal scope for ridicule and
cruel sarcasm, but this fact does not
deti act from the high place which his
tory 1ms accorded to the men who made
possible tlie fltst American republic.
On second thought, business reasons
duly considered, France has decided
that It is Impolitic to abuse Americans
openly. Hence from now on she will
gtiai dedly stab thcin In the back.
rir. Gladstone Laid to Rest.
The moitnl remains of William E.
OIudMnne will be laid to rest in the
hallowed fane of Westminster Abbey
this nfternoon, p.nllament having un
animously niomorallicd the queen, ac
cording to custom, to 'grant the gient
statesiiiat ho had been Its most prun
ineni light for over a half centiny a
public funcrnl, and thl was according
ly ordained tluough voice of soveielgn
and people It Is a fitting consumma
tion of such a life as that of Mr. Glad
stone, that his ashes should mingle In
the glorious old abbey with the dust of
men who are numbeied in the select
loll of England's illustilotiri dead.
Westminster Abbey was founded in the
telgn of Edward the Confessor. It la
the pantheon in which the sons who
have made England great In war and
peace, in Ilteratute, religion, science
nnd art through all thoso centuries,
have been laid to repose, It is, of
course, tiuo that in this historic nec
lopolls others have found a tomb who
weie no less deserving of execration,
ruthless kings nnd lawless tyrants.
Ileie lleniy VIII and two of his de
capitated wives He burled side by side
to its pious founder Plantagenet,
Tudor nnd Stewart having fought their
lat light on cnith slwp the last sleep
in its hltoilc Isles. There rest In this
long, last sleep illustrious warrlom
who havo made the namo of England
synonymous with power and conquest
throughout the ninth, such as Mail
boiough and Wellington; admirals
such as Howe and Camperdown, who
mlsed the I'nion Jack in the battle
and to the breeze In every sea; religious
lefoimeiH such ais Cramner and Kid
ley, commingle witli monks and nn
.chorltes and pi elates who died centu
ries befcii o In communion with Home.
In the "poet's corner" a galaxy of gen
ius is forgathered in death, who have
crystallised in immortal verse the high
est imaginings and j earnings of the
human soul. Milton an1 Keats, Gold
smith and Teniiyison and Ilrovvnlng
are better known to us Americans than
perhaps the others. Orators nnd
statesmen like Lord Chatham and I'Itt,
lturke and Fox; administrators like
Cllve and Wan en Hastings, painters
like Reynolds and actors like Garrick
people it crypts. In the eternal com
panionship of those immortals Mr.
Gladstone will take his place.
Westminster Abbey to thousands of
Ainei leans who cross the Atlantic an
nually has been a place of interest
and pilgrimage. They have wandered
tluough its naves, transcepts and
cloistcis, or have attended divine wor
ship In its chapel, or listened to the
magnificent music of Its choir. No spot
In the IMtlsli isles has so many or
such ancient and hallowed associations
for tl.e stranger. It will be none the
less attractive from the fact that a
statesman who died but yesterday,
whose name has been a household word
wherever the English language is
spoken, is among the number whose
names ate traced on its mural tablets
and whose monuments comprise its
scuipunes. it vviiuiii nave,- oecn vir.
Gladstone's wish very probably to have
been buried In the family mausoleum
In Hawarden village. Hut concerning
a man who has devoted his life to
humanity, the public enteis clnlm to
betoken Its honor and esteem by dis
posing of the poor lifeless corpse in Its
own way. Mr. Gladstone would have
been the last to deny this claim, what
ever solace a more private interment
might bring. The puhlto was his idol
as ho In turn was the idol of the pub
lic. The Tribune on the morrow follow
ing Mr. Gladstone's death published a
number of tributes delivered from the
pulpits by clergymen of different de
nominations in this locality. They
voiced the sentiments that have found
expression with striking unanimity
throughout the United States. We are
engaged in a war which would have
found favor with Mr. Gladstone. Lib
el ty to poor and opptessred national
ities was the passion of his life. In
the last days of his career ho would
have rejoiced to have seen Kngland
take up aims In the cause of human
ity, ns represented by the persecuted
Atmenlans, Ho was a lover of peace,
but not nt any pi lee; not nt the price
of oppression of a people, whether
sanctified by the name of royal auto
crat or an allegorical travesty of con
stitutional government. There are
some great men who have outlived
their work and reputation In politics
nnd even in literature. Hut the name
of Gladstone, like that of Washington
and Lincoln, will live on, growing ever
mote luminous amongst the shades and
shadows of hlstoiy.
Thero are somo people who might
hesitate to entrust their lives to tho
tender mercies of a red Indian nutse,
and yet It Is declared by competent
authority that Indian tills make Ideal
trained nurses. Many of the gradu
ates of Carlisle aro taking up this pro
fession with pronounced success. An
eminent physician says that they pos
sess every requisite, great Intelligence,
narvo and hleh courage. They never
become excited, never lose their heads,
and having remarkable physical endur
nnce and strength ate well fitted to
pttrsuo this laborious vocation. Be
sides all these qualifications, they are
kind nnd attentive and follow a physic
ian's orders Implicitly.
The Divorce Court.
Eleven divorce cases were heard at
the suit of husband or wife In court on
Monday of this week, nnd several cases
have been entered since. So fnr as ap
pealed from the testimony, conjugal
infidelity does not seem to have figured
largely, the complaints on which thn
separation ordets were granted being
chiefly abandonment nnd cruel treat
ment. In other words. Incompatibility
of temper seems to hnve been the main
source of domestic Infelicity. The
Judges, of couise, administer the law
ns they find It. It Is not part of their
duty to enter Into the mural and social
questions Involved In a divorce law
which permits the severance of the
matrimonial bond on such slight and
seemingly Inconsequential facts as
simple desertion and cruelty. These
may seem on the part of some people
to be sufllclent in themselves on which
to base a divorce suit. If we are to
legard the marriage tie as a mere per
sonal pledge or contract, In which the
state and society are In no wise con
cerned, the relief granted by the couits
to the participants In this pledge or
conttnet Is a formal legal process of no
more relative consequence to the In
tegrity of the family, society and the
state than nn agreement over the hir
ing of a piano, which, owing to some
ambiguity or non-fulfilment of the con
tract, requires the Intervention or In
tel pretatlon of the court. Hut the
matter does not stand thus In any
civilized country, nnd even among bar
barians the marriage bond has Its
solemn sanctions and Individual, If not
tribal, enforcement.
Few questions are surrounded with
greater moral and social difficulties
than that of divorce. The family is the
unit of society and the stale. The dis
solution of the marriage bond Involves
the disintegration of the family, nnd
the communion of the stnte is the cor
rollary of the dispersal of the family.
When a man and woman marry they
change not alone the status In which
they formerlv stood towards each
other, but towards society nnd the
state. In the natural course of events
they bring1 forth children, nnd these
children they nre obliged by law,
human and divine, to rear from help
less infancy to the adult state, or until
such time as they are able to do for
themselves. So much must bo clone for
them by their parents, 'following out
the dictates of natural law and the
obllfffitlons of the constitutional law,
and upon the proper performance of
this duty depends the perpetuation of
the race In n progressive tatlo. We aie
justified in saving that the value of
the marriage contract depends upon
the fulfilment of Its natural and con
stitutional obligations faithfully. I'pon
these rest the fabric of our civilization.
Whether marriage is regarded as a
civil contract or a sacramental or re
ligious union, the essence of its estab
lishment was the protection of the
family as the unit of civic life. Pub
lie opinion may vary as to the grounds
on which divorce may be legitimately
and Jnocuously granted, and it Is evi
dently tending in the United States
and In France, if not in England, to
waids a greater laxity In Its binding
obligations, but there Is no question
about the danger to society which the
loosening of the marriage bonds in
volves. We have emphasized the social and
state obligations of the marriage tie
rather than its religious sanctions.
These must not, of couise, be neglected
In reviewing this momentous question.
When the Human civilization gave
way to the Christian dispensation, the
church took under her especial guard
ianship the marriage bond. She con
stituted It into ii sacrament, pro
nounced it indissoluble, anathematized
the transgressois of its transcendental
lelntionship, spiritualized It and sanc
tified It with her blessing and protec
tion. When the relations of the state
to the church become less harmonious,
when their spheres of Influence became
distinct, the state more and more en
croached on the sacramental preroga
tives of marriage and seculurlzed it as
far as it was able. Perhaps the state
has gone too far in this direction. At
any late the outcome of the recogni
tion of the civil marriage as the only
legal obligation has gone far to make
divorce if not fashionable, at least
easy. The secularization of marriage
has gone on, until barely nny form of
religious ceremonial remains to be ac
counted for. Of course the churches,
and the Hainan Catholic church in par
ticular, hold on to their ancient and
sacred formularies. Hut their influ
ence Is palpably waning. We do not
say that under certain circumstances
divorce should not bo granted, but
surely these should not be trlvlil, tem
poiary, or evanescent. Learned Juris
consults have agreed that adultery on
the part of either husband or wife is
a sufficient grievance for the nullifi
cation of marriage. In the United
States this Is held to be so. In Eng
land only on the pait of the wife does
It afford ground for divorce. If the
wife pleads it as a justification, she
must also establish her husband's
cruelty. The divorce laws in many
states of the union are unfortunately
premiums on subornation of evidence,
perjury, collusion and adultery.
Much amusement has been made by
the newspapers regarding the Holland
Dames and their antics, but the little
Daughteis of the Holland Dames are
heaping coals of fire on the heads of
writers for the press by organizing n
fund to aid newspaper correspondents
who may become sick or disabled while
at the front. "Nobody thinks about
tho newspaper men," Bald one small
maid, "and yet thty nre In every hit
aB much danger us the soldier, with
out any claims to care or help if In
need." This Is true, ulthough as a rule
the newsnapers make more consider
ate employers than Uncle Sam.
The Tribune owes an apology to Hon.
John H. Hcwiolds for lnudvertently
omitting his name from the list of
legislative nominations kept standing
at the head of this page. It Is scarcely
necessary to say that Mr. Reynolds, la
very much a candidate for re-election
nnd that he will bo returned by a ma
jority which will signally attest popu
lar appreciation of the fine record made,
by him at llarrlsburg last Besslon.
The lot of a soldier Is not a happy
one, however far removed he may be
from the scat ot war. Sixty volun
teers weie arrested In the midst of the
delcctabltltlcs of a strawberry festival
with village girl accompaniments the
other night nt Nlantlc, Conn,, nnd
mnrched Ignornlnously back to camp,
which they had forsaken without leave.
Inventor Holland now offers to enter
Santiago harbor with his submarine
torpedo boat and sink tho whole
Spanish fleet If the United States gov
ernment will tow his boat' to the har
bor's mouth and ngree to buy It after
the work Is successfully done. Unless
Mr. Holland Is engineering a huge
bluff, this offer ought to be worth con
sidering. Colonel Alfred H. Love, of Philadel
phia, president of the Universal Peace
Union, has written to Premier Sngasta
suggesting that In the Interest of peace
Spain Immediately withdraw her mili
tary forces from Cuba and Its vicinity.
Colonel Love will pause for a reply.
MKJor Smith, an American formerly
with Gomez, but now connected with
General Shatter's force, has Just re
turned from a secret expedition to
Havana. He says Blanco has food for
six months and 140,000 nrmed men. Ho
will need 'em both ere long.
Minister Polo dc Bcrnabe Is to be
rewarded for his good woik In the
United States by an appointment as
chief nsslstant to the Spanish minis
ter of foreign affairs. Polo deserved
better than this.
Thirteen dollars a month for piivate
soldiers is not enough. Congressman
Acheson's bill to double the pay of tho
rank and file should be passed with
out delay.
No one doubts that Quay can nom
inate Stone If he is willing to take tho
risk. But is he willing? Probably not.
If Senator Quay has heard from
Beaver as we dare say he has he
should pause and reflect.
Some of fh? Things
War is Teaching Us
New York Commciclul-Advcrtlser.
n HHNHI'ICHNT featuic of war is its
Ml woik in sweeping away humbugs
lit When iiupstlonsi ure to bo settled
ji by fighting. Illusions shrivel, chei-'dir-il
theories uie suddenly tesfl.
evints move swirtly, ami governments
and policies must move with ecpial spied.
Speculations full of IN and huts got no
audience in war. Things have to be done,
and have to be done on the Instant. Spec
ulation is supplanted bv epilck judgment,
anil that quick Judgment, too. Is usually
right. Old coi.dltlous me swept nwuv by
the pressmo of Instant need, and new
conditions appear with staitling sudden
ness. War Is thus educational. It re
veals to the pec pie at latge tilings which
statesmen haidl guessed In peace. U
takes the people a little way into thu
counsels of fate unci makes them feel
something of natural law hi its hlgheft
and most abstruse workings.
o
"What do we care for abiond?" Is one
humbug which this war has already
chilled. Wo have found th it we cnie u
deal for abroad. We have found tint
fighting In American waters a decrepit
Kurpoean state Involved us at the start
in necesltv of playing the game of Hu
rnpean stateciaft. We nlwavs bellcvd
that anv war between us and a foreign
power would lie simply a defensive war
on our part. We have fancied that all we
should have to do would be to stay at
home and defenu our coasts We can
whip all Huropp, therefore, what elo we
want of an army or m? Besides, 1.0
power on earth would dare attack .
Or continental Isolation and our strength
aro our defense1. So the whole countrv
J.'iuntllv and gaily echoed Mr Cleveland's
Venezuela message. We would cheerfully
go to war with Kngland on a minute's
notice, and she never would elare tight us
nnywav. Now wo have nn object lesson
Wo have learred that an nation may
have to light when It hast expects It, ,.nd
that neither our isolation nor our
strength is enough to prevent even a
weak power fiom fighting us when to
yield would lie disgrace. The Venezuela
incident had made us think we rTuld dlc
tnte terms to the strongest power In Uu
rope, and we found, after a certain point,
we could not to the weakest. So war be
gan, and we havo spent lis first month
In preparing to begin fighting on land.
o
Humbugs have been dvlng every day In
our domestic affairs. We have ulways
thought we did not need an army except
to keep the Ineiians eiulet. We also
thought we had a reseive army In th"
National Guard. Now we havo found
that It takes as long to make nn army
out of the National Guard as It does out
of any other plain civilians. In a general
way we ure- learning that war is u trade
ot nations, and that everv nation tint
thinks of making war needs to leiirn that
tiado just ns thoroughly ns a carpenter
learns his trade. Wo shall imdeistiinl
hereafter that no nation Is so great that
It can treat the lest of the world with
drflance miles' it Is prepared nt nny time
to support that dellance with fotce. Wo
have found that tho claim of being a
great nation has put us under bonds to
maintain our greatness. Greatness Im
plies responsibility. We nre taking it. The
United States will be a far more power
ful nnd respected nation when the war
Is over than ever before But we shall
not bo so boastful, and while, after the
war, we shall spend much more money
on war preparations than we ever spent
in peace, wo shall havo a less warlike
temper.
