Tho merchants and planter, who conHtitute i he teiili.stautlnl element of the Island's population, nnd pay it Brent majority of all tuxes contributed to the hiip port of the government, have abstained Horn all participation In Insular poli tics, and have left tha field free to the levolutloiuiry type or agltutor and Place-hunter now In command. Naturally these men view with dread the constitution of asovernmont In which power will be largely vested In mi In ('sponsible nnd non-producing class, but like many merchants nnd business men In the United States, they have not learned that the way to prexent Mich n contingency Is to t light down to practical politics and out-votc It. They deserve no sympathy If their failure to receive oonsldoiatltm n elite to theli failure to demand it. It is a familiar fact ot evcry-day life that people got Eoma t lines less than they ask for, but very rarely more. The patient nnd retir ing citizen, who expects that In the busy whirl of affairs somebody will Mop aside and look after his particu lar Interests, while he neglects them, Is Indulging in a vain hope and laying up ticasures ot disappointment Sooner or later the pioporty-ownlnpr ii.tercilH In CuIli must awaken to 'I'lr lot-poiiHlbllltlos. When that time r.mios I hey will recognize, and not onlv recognize, but nor upon tho knowledge that their mture piosper !iy Is Intimately imohed In the pros neilly or the I'nltid States: that the. mat hots for ihelt tobacco nnd sugar no to I'u had mainly In the United Sl.itv. and that the quickest and best woy in avuio favorable access to ilioo inuikPt. and to entourage the interthaiige .tf trade which is ut tho bottom of all social piogrcs Is to be- "inn .1 p.iit .if th" rt.lted States. Whether this will come before the NpoihiKiit of an Independent republic has bien put to a trial or not, (he fuiuio only can leietnilnr, but the m ry fact that everybody with .my knowledge (if the situation recognizes that annexation Is the ultimate solu ilou of th? whole problem establishes a stiong practluil reason why those who i-dillv want annexation and for rtlwni It Is in the nature of economic s.iivaiion .-hould not fall into the puorllc habit of hesitating to express liielr opinion nnd to shape means towaid that end. This Is said not from any splilt of greed to aequir? "Cuba, but wholly from the standpoint of i'uIm'k own best Interests, and it Is about time that the Cuban people who know what Cuba's real interests are diould develop the spirit of willing ness to uateguard tluMii, even at the 'xpciifc of Incurring temporary re sentment ftom tho schemers who urn Idcjttlng to exploit that rich Island nnd K'Kul In the spoils of Its misgovern nielit ieaily all of the people who en do'ao JIis.

WITH A VIKW to ehrcknig the disposition union some Americans when abroad to regard their American passport us .1 special ex emption from local customs nnd laws and as a kind ot tinchallengable high license to "do as they dmn please," the-state dopailnient at "Washington has adoptwl tho sensible policy of sending with every passport a notice tf the applicant explaining Just what the laws are In tho country or coun tries thiough which he Intends to navel and showing hlm to what ex tpnt he la protected by tho passport. Thtjto notices are not olllclal nor do they uttempt to cover every point that might arise, but they nro clear and plnjn so far as they go. Here, for cxumple, Is tho notlco to American cltlrcns formerly subjects of (ler many, who contemplate returning to that country: A Geinuu who emigratel before tic li (oenteru mn olu, or Iwture lie lui been actually called upon to jppear b'fuie the military mitliorltle, Duy al'v a rctldcnco In lbs L'nltcd btatcs of ile "itun of" slelfiilr on Paper Heading ""'.V4'"f .27 .20 .21 .Id .175 .155 .17 .13 .1M jein and after due naturatlullon, return to (fennany on u ,lt, but lilt right to remain In hl former home I, denied by (icrinany, and he nuy lw expelled alter n brief aojourn, on the ground that he Kit flcnnaiiy merely to etado military crlrr.

In view of the fact that most of the bother encountered by Americans abroad develops In Germany and ori ginates over tne very points covered lu the foregoing quotntlon, It would be expedient Tor citizens of Oennan birth who may revisit the Kathetland to cut this aitltie out and preserve; it for futiiio reference. The subject of municipal icforni la one claiming the attention ot every community more or less. We publish below, omitting namef. a letter from one In chargo of the schools or school funds of a school district In thla coun ty: "In Kegards too the note you sent me i Oont under Stand It What Hill Is this I cant sea eney thing ot It in the nudet of Last year can It ltee the ehool furnishing company If It H Why It Int cornspon with the nudet Pleas Kite me & hot Mo now." An Index of Public Sentiment. AMONG the Interesting freak bills of the present legisla tive season is one befoic the general assembly of Illinois providing for a "public service coin mission" to regulate the contiol of corpointtons of a quasi-public charac ter, liy Its terms the control of all railroad, telegraph companies, tele phone, electric light, power, heat, ex press nnd water companies would pass Into the hands of seven men to be named by the governor. This commis sion Is to llx the rates the corporations shall charge, the wages they shall pay, the number and kind of people they shall employ. It would nlso have power to pre&cilbe the amount ot stocks and bonds to bo Issued, and one of Its duties would be to see that no coi poratlon paid a higher dividend than fi per cent. Manifestly this bill Is an Impossi bility: yet laughing at It does not 10 niovo the fact that It Is an expression, distorted and fanciful, It Is true, of a public belief, which Is growing stead ily In the United Stntes, In favor of more stilngent public regulation of public utilities. There Is hardly n com munity of considerable sizes In the countiy which Is not awakening to a consciousness of the truth that in the easy-going methods of regulation here tofore prevalent It has been getting the small end of the bargain. There are exceptional cases of conspicuous honesty nnd fairness In the dealings of quasi-public coiporatlona with the people whom they serve, but these are so tare and beautiful as to piove the rule that the tendency of such cor porations, when not restrained, Is to operate upon the Vanderbllt Idea of "the public be d d." There have been local Illustrations In which lates have been raised without a word of parley or "by your leave" beyond the ox parte assertion that tho Increase Is fair. As to the truth of this assertion the public has no means of learning save through Individual litigation; and the average citizen Is rarely In mood or funds to meet the bother and cost of lighting a powerful corporatism through the vatlous courts essential to a final decision; he naturally pro fers to submit, for a time, to what ho regards as extortion and, while sub mitting, muse his wrath against a day of Judgment. It Is this patient nursing of popular wrath which constitutes the danger of an excess of testiictlve legislation when once tho avalanche moves. The American people on tho average are fair. They are not conllscationlsts. They do not, when at a normal con dition of mind and temper, want any corporation w hlclt serves them with light, heat, water or lapld transit to do so on terms that, with good man ngement, will make impossible a fair profit on tho capital and enterprise actually Invested. The straightforward method of dealing with them Is al ways tho best method In the long run. because it wins their confidence and respect. The great trouble Is that In tho majority of Instances tho man agers of publlo utilities, In their eager ness to shape tesults to tho liking of the stockholders, fall Into the habit ot forgetting the other parties In Inter est. They try to bluff or cheat the people; they rely on their ability to corrupt legislative bodies or to win legal battles on technicalities by rea son of their supeilor power to employ ablo and Ingenious counsel and to meet the expenses of frequent appeals, all the whllo overlooking that in bathing the public's Intuitive senso of light they are simply toying with a volcano that ono day may buist forth and sweep them to Inglorious destruction. Vo continually hear complaints In regard to tho lack of confidence in spelling on the pnrt of tho rising generation, und yet it would probably be impossible' to induco the, educational experts of the country to abolish tho system of teaching pupils to read he fore they know tho letters of the ul- phabet. Tho return to tho good oh method of standing pupils up In a row and lotting them "spell" each other down, would, In u few years, elevate the standard of spelling In our public schools to a plane that would leave no cause for regiclM, An additional restriction upon Immi gration Is proposed by Congressman Adams In a hill providing that foreign ers who have been confined In an asy lum for the Insane, Idiotic and epilep tic, before landing In the t'nlted Btates, or who, within two yenra nfter their arrival In the United States, shall be come Insane shall be returned to tho country whence they came. Tho pres ent law simply excludes those who arc Insane, Idiotic or epileptic nt tho time of landing. As a result of an Investi gation made by the Immigration au thorities tho fact Is discovered that while tho foielgn-born population of the United States Is 10 per cent, of tho entire population, thlrty-flvo per cent, ot tho insane arc forclgn-born. It Is evident, therefore, that wo have been receiving a considerable number of persons who should not have been per mitted to land under any circum stances and whoso Immigration has doubtless been expedited from the oth er side. Them Is enough Insanity ns It Is among our own people without In viting a disproportionate lncrensc from abroad. ". - Instead of taxing savings banks' sin plus one per cent., as originally propscd, the Odell programme In New York state has been changed to put a tax of ono per cent, on the par value of the secuiltles held by taxings banks as suiplus. This, It Is estimated, will yield $"0,000 of state revenue nnd yet represent not more than seven cents on every 3100 ot deposits too small u tax to warrant the banks In teduc lng the rate of Interest. Tho tests of the recently invented emergency tablet, Intended for an army latlon, have demonstrated a de llclcncy In nutriment. This has veri fied tho predictions of the unscientific. Tho tablet Invention may be all right for medicine, mineral water and cir cus lemonade, but there ts little nu triment or enjoyment In food con sumed without mastication. It is to be regretted that the report that King Edward had pardoned Mrs. Muybiick Is unfounded. The guilt ot this woman, who claims to be inno cent, has never been fully established, and It would seem that after the many weary years kIio has buffered In prison she could, with ptoprlety, be given tho benefit of the doubt.
