Cuba.
IT "WAS a deploinble mlsfoi lune
that the Cuban lccipiocity bill
was defeated by a gioup of sen
atom whose political Intel est In
beet sugar was mote Inoidinately con
seivutive than the flnaiulal inteiestsof
their constituents. The btate.s In which
the piodtiLtlon of beet .sugar Is an
Industry weie natutally ei anxious
that it should not be endangeied by
competition fiom without. Hut ns the
majotlty of these seintois hue now
dlscoveied the cltl.ens of these Mates,
which they weie so solicitous to cone III
ato by lefusing a modeiate letlpuual
concession to Cuba for hpr chief and
nlmost sole indiistty, could place their
piinclples befoie their pockets anil
concede to national expediency the
piospect of Individual gain. Ptesldent
Itoobewlt could do no inoie at the time
t jut n lin did. In his Htienuous advocacy
of Cuban lccipiocity ho had tho loun-tjyttnet-the
pi ess with him In an uuan
idilty which Is seldom witnessed on n
(ifiestlon which hud, so far as the Amen
lean peopln could appieclato Its m
pWthntc, only a sentiment of Justiie
ifricf humanity to icconmiend it. The
1)111, however, was defeated and wo can
hardly blame the Cubans If they do
not accept tho effei vescence of our
good intentions in speeches and news
paper nt tides us a matei lal obligation.
.Since the defeat of the tecipioelty
bill the Cubans have been Blowing
mote and inoie hostile to us, not have
they htihen In any way tn conceal It.
The Cuban government has ptepaud it
taiiff of its own which would puctlcal
ly annlllilato out nude with the laluncl,
such ns.lt Is. It Is endeavoilns to lloat
a loan with foielgu Aliunde! o which
might lead tho cciuntiy Into devious
paths fipm whit h she might not be
able to extilcate heihelf without our
Inteifeience; while tlm best etfoits of
thp udminlstiatlon have fulled to se
nile the adhesion of the Cuban govern,
inent to tho tieuly by which the teims
pf the Piatt uiuoudmeiu must be en
teicd Into between tho two govern
ments. The Cubans have Home jeason
to show for their leseutment. Hut Cu
ban statesmen aie not so unenllght

:ultles and the limitations under which
the administration laliorn. AVe hove

Lesson of a Tragedy.
CIIIXTtriC investlgntois can
no doubt llud much to lutetest
them In the ucent tiagody at
llouipstead wheie seveial
membeis of a family became the lc
tims of a delkate boj whose mind had
been uubalaiued by mental wnik of a
chaiactoi that should have been lett
to oldei heads. The boy had foi some
time been engigtd upon Inventions and
had succeeded In pioducing seveial
which In time might have been -valuable.
Hut befoie the goal hud been
leached, his mind gave w.tv and six of
his lelatlves weie s.icillhcd to his
fi eny.
While the lesults of ovel study aie
not as tenlble evervwheie as In the
Homestead case, it Is a question
w bethel chlldien of the piesent age aie
not encouiaged ot dijven bevond their
poweis of enduianee hv ambitious odu
i.itois who seem to exeiclsp but little
judgment In tialning pupils undei theli

seen at-
tendants ot the "high school.

td It ought not to need the opinion
of a specialist to point out to the mod
el n eduiatoi that this oit of piessme,
exiept in cases of extiaoullnaij bodllj
vigoi, will exhaust the neive fnice of
c 111 Id I c li and make them old men and
women befoie their time. Life is
scaicelv w oi th the living if it is to bo
made a test of enduianee fiom child

inoie In the existence of the aveiage
boy and glil than a tliesonie stiuggle
to inastei knottv pioblems that lequhe
constant application in m hool and out.
It is not necessity ten any bov oi glil
to win fame befoie anhlng at majoi
itj. In tact, sad as it ina appeal to
the piogiesslve cducatoi, hlstoiy sel
dom points out a case wheie an Infant

thiough the Kiitlsli embassy
to the nmpeioi William has
moused all the Indignant vehemence of
the Got man pi ess. The Geunans ton
sldei It nn act of lngiatltude, if nothing
vioi'i', When the geueiuls Intlmited
theli intention ot visiting Geimany and
of pTjing their lespects to the kaiser,
they weip Infoyni d that this could onlv
be done thiough the Intel medial y of
the Ilngllsh anibassudoi. Tiny loadily
acquiesied In this aiiangemetit, hut lor
some ip.imiii this appointment was
shoitly altei cancelled and the Ileitis
suggested that If they weie to pay their
lespects to the empeim the invitation
should come 1 1 om him. If he weie evei
so willing to accommodate them the
cmpcior could not, without outiaging
nil diplomatic usage, coufoim to such a
teriupst. Tim Poor guneinls me Hiltlsh
subjects, they have swoin nlleglaiue to
the Htltlsh oiovvn; they solemnly piom
ised to the colonial seeietaty that they
would lefinln fiom nil acts which would
actually oi seemingly subveit the tetnis
of the tieaty of peace, The Hiltlsh gov
ernment has acted towiud their late
enemy mote thuu guneiousl.; they have
ronfoimed justly to what they believed
the exigency of the situation demanded
for tho best Intel ests, tho mateilal
piospects and the immediate wclfaie or
the vanquished huigheis. It Is not, ot
course, possible thiough spontaneous or
stipulated geneioslty to lecouclle tho
conquered, after a war, to theli alteicd
foituucs. The Uopis me not the most
enlightened people in the vvoild, uoi mo
the Hiltlsh with the highest and most
dlslnteiested motives aluajs huppj in
dispensing their political favois, Hut
in this Instance they seem to huvu dis
