Senator Vest of .Missouri has written an article in which he urges that the t'nlted States must keep faith with Culm In respect to Its promise that the Cuban people shall have absolute inde pendence, but he shows that he does not expect an Independent Cuban gov ernment to long continue. lie says that having given them liberty, let us permit them to use It. If they succeed In self-government we can rejoice with them. Hut ho does not expect that they will succeed. On the contrary, he says that In the light or history It Is probable that they will but repeat the not too successful course of Mime of the South American states. "It Is but logical to expect them to go the same road," says .Mr. Vest. "In this event we have set a precedent not to permit anarchy as a disturbing factor on our coasts and Interfering with our coast wise trade," He declares that an archy In Culm would mean the estab lishment of a refuge for every broken and desperate man in our land, that It would be a menace not only to our rev enue laws, but to the property and lives of our citizens resident on the neighbor ing coasts. He concludes that the In evitable result would be u demand on the part of all order-loving Cubans for permission to come under our Hag. Senator Vest obviously believes that Cuba will ultimately become a part of tho United Stntes and he would further that consummation by leaving the Island to tho chance of anarchy, regurdless of the disaster and suffering to the Cuban people and tho Injury lo American In terests which he points out would re sult from that condition. He evidently does not think the Cubans tire prepared for self-government, but he would give It .to them without any restriction, although believing thatjhe couseiiueuce would be anarchy, requiring tho Inter ference of the United States, and that out of this would come n demand from the order-loving people of the lshino, If any should survive the Internecine strife, for annexation to the United States. .Mr. Vest Is unmistakably uu annexationist, but he would have an nexation como as the sequence of civil conflict in Cuba, with all that implies of destruction and disaster. The conditions submitted by congress contemplate the avoidance of civil con flict, the prevent luu of anarchy and the establishment of n stable government adequate for the protection of life and property uud the security of individual liberty. They do not, as Senator Hev- erldge has said, deprive Culm of any thing that can help her, but bestow every benefit and erect every safeguard necessary to her settled and orderly self-government. Mr. Vest says that under no circumstances can tills gov ernment tolerate any foreign Interfer ence In the affairs of Cuba. Is It not, then, most Important that there shall be ample safeguards against such Inter ference, provision for which Is made In tho terms proposed by the United States? These conditions do not look forward to annexation, but to it per nmnciit Cuban government maintaining intimate political relations with the United States necessary to the peace and security of both. The arguments of Senator Vest do not Improve? or strengthen the position of the opponents of Hie Plait amendment. T.lielr effect, on the contrary, will be to make supporters for the American con dltloiis. A SVMl'ATHETlO IVlvK. Whllo ir.en and women In broadcloths and silks and satins worshiped thu risen Lord theso two young men wore thrown among the vilest of .the vile, and all for tho nwful crime of hauling brush. While those whoso stomachs know not of hunger wero singing anthems theso two young men heard naught but cursings und rovlllngs becauso they wern thrown among tlio besotted criminals of tho city for the heinous and awful crime ot daring to earn an honest penny In do fiance ot an obnoxious monopoly that owns thn city administration body, boots and breeches. This Is a Christian and a civil ized community. If thd preachorB and tho laymen aro to bo believed, but the spec taclo of men being thrown Into Jail and forced to bo tho companions of criminals becauso they preferred honest work to stealing or begging Is not calculated to offer convincing proof of tho assertion. Tho lesson of Raster loses some ot Its slgntl canco In tho face of this disgraceful con dition of affairs In Ornaho. World-Herald This is truly pathetic. It would draw tears front a bronze statue. Hut the heartrending picture Is overdrawn and overcolored. While men and women In brondeloths nml silks ami satins worshiped th risen Lord, hundreds of men who wero born in the Imago of God were Inn gulshlng In penitentiaries. Jails and re lorinatorles In tho company of tho vilest of the vile. While those whose stomachs know not of hunger wero sing lug anthems, these wretched victims of criminal indulgence were compelled to live on bread and water and deprived o the Inallenablo right of all human be lugu to life, liberty and the pursuit o happiness. This is it Christian and civilized com mtmlly, but the spectacle of men being thrown Into jail Is not uncommon, in tlilo particular Instance, the action of the police authorities wns for- the pro tectlon ot tho health of the romalndi of tho community, As well ,as for the prevention of systematic lawbreaklng Ono would Imagine theso honest youn men, who would rather toll than steal went for tho first time in their lives thrown In contact with tho vilest of tho vile, when, as a matter of fact, they liavo neon arrested over autl over for various offenses. Ono would Imagluo that these young men would have been lu church If they had not been coullued In Jail, when the very suggestion o spending a half a day lu church would have shocked their nerves more than spendlug u whole day In the company o the vile. Tho truth Is that tho so-called attempt to haul ashes ami brush was an attempt to dump tilth and garbage in front o the city, where It would rot and breed contagion. The fact Is, also, that these victims of a great "conspiracy wero nr rested for violating tlio city ordinances and If the pollco had not arrested them they would have been derelict In the discharge of their duty. It goes with out saying that no notice of this arrest would have been taken by any paper wore It not for the anxiety to prejudice the public against the police and city government because it Is not In the hands of popoerals. AXUTHMt VVTMIHAK IS VltlSA. The report of another outbreak In China, not directed against foreigners but In the nature of n. rebellion, is con firmed. The leader of this movement Is staled to be the former commander of the northern army, who was In cluded among those whose execution was demanded by the ministers of the powers. Although the force he Is said to have under him Is not at present very formidable, General Tung Full Slau is represented to be an exceedingly popular man and one of the ablest ot China's military men, so that he may all about him a powerful army If he uts the means or equipping it. n is tulle probable that Prince Tuan, who has been sentenced to degradation and xlle, Is more or less responsible for the new uprising and If so there is good rea son for the reported alarm of the court, u spite of the fact that the Chinese peace plenipotentiaries seem eiispuscu to regard the movement its of uo great ignillcauce. Tho theory Is suggested that the ob ject of the outbreak Is to create a dt- erslon of Interest In order lo force un conditional protection of the leaders. It s possible that such Is the case, but It is pilte as likely that tho purpose Is to overthrow the relgulng dynasty because of It having yielded so union to the de mands of the powers, especially In the matter of the punishment of thoso barged with responsibility for the autl- foreign uprising. That u very strong eellug of opposition to tho dynasty ex- sts Is well known and It Is not Improb able that some of the leaders of tills opposition feel that the time Is ripe for striking a blow at rulers so feeble and ieldlng. Hut whatever fie motive of the up rising, It appears that tho foreign ministers are not disturbed by it and do not contemplate any Interference unless foreign Interests shall be en dangered. This new dllllculty, however, ucreases Interest In the Chinese situa tion and further developments will be eagerly awaited by all the powers, cuxstntusisG Tin: mkuit system. The merit system was under consider ation by the president and cabinet a few days ago, due to the visit of rep resentatives of the Civil Service lie form league to the president and their statements as to violations of the civil service law. At the request of the president each of the cabinet; oltlcers eported touching Hit) operation of the law in his department, It being shown that the charges of violations of tho law are not Justified. The statements dleltcd showed that in each depart ment 1 hi; full spirit of the civil service law prevails and instead of tiny disposi tion lo modify the regulations there Is ou the contrary u sentiment in lavor oi further extensions for tho rules. The attempt to make it appear that the present administration Is hostile to tho merit system will not sticcoou irrth those who know the record of Tirm dent MeKlnley on tilts subject and the views of members of the cabinet. livery one of those olllelals has shown In the administration of his olllco a thorough interest in the merit system and there s not a conceivable reason why they should not continue to do so. They can have no personal or party concern in doing iitherwise. Surely they under stand that any backward step in regard to civil service reform would lnevlt ably work Injury to the republican party, which gave the country tho merit system and has steadfastly supported the policy. It is said to lie tho intention of Presl dent MeKlnley to extend a modified merit system to the uuchissllled service, this having been ids purpose when the order was made removing certain post Hons from under the civil service reg ulations. It Is in connection with this that complaints have been submitted by the Civil Service Iteform league and doubtless the president will promptly rectify tlio matter. The law passed some years ago, when Interest rates wero high, makes the minimum Interest on deposits of county funds I! per cent. That should not. however, bar the county from receiving any Interest on Its balances In the banks. The city has for years received t! per cent front the same depositories that are holding the county money. Why cannot the county board tako some action that will give the county the benefit of Its deposits?

AIM', Till: SKXKS -HA.V(il.Vi IIAIlITSf I (imulilliiK ii nd DrlnkliiK Slciullly In- rrciiMiitr Anionic Women. Philadelphia Press. Tho attack on gambling among women In prlvato homes tn Now York City made by several clergymen threo weeks ago has been followed by u running tiro In tho press all over tho country. For a rcspectnble ivciiinn to play for stakes twenty years ago In any American city was almost tin known, though betting has nlways existed. In New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago and probably Bos ton thcro appears to bo no doubt that tho European view of looking on n woman's playing for moderate stakes as quite per mlsslblo obtains In n largo clrclo enjoying social position. What such do all soon do. Beforo long, If matters go on, white many woman will never play for nny money and soma women will nlways condemn tho net, It will bo possible) for women to play for money in American social ciries just as women do abroad. Fastidious peoplo will not do It, Women religious or circumspect will avoid gambling; but no social stigma will attach to tho practice. This deplorable changu In American man ner, stoutly resisted as it Is, hut evidently widespread, Is only a part of tho changa In tho habits of American women of dubious value. A quarter of a century ago an American woman avoided drlnklngvwlno or beer at a public restaurant, save in an ultrnfashionabio set. Tnid lias grown so common It no longer attracts remark. At privato dinners women onco rather avoided tho ttso of wlno. Books of advlco and manners, of etiquette and behavior, essays and fiction, ono limited a woman at dinner to ono wlno. Woman drink today In public nnd prlvato as freely as men, outslilo of circles In which Btreps Is laid on temperance. No one, wo think, can doubt that In our eastern cities eo f!w ns drinking at tho table Is concerned women drink moro and men less than each onco did. Kugllslv women of tho lower classes, thoroughly respectable, drink at bars and public houses. They never hovo here. At this point no chnngo has come But among tho well-to-do and still moro among tho fashionable, or thoso who would llko to ho, women drink moro freely and moro publicly than onco. At a fashionable country club, not In Philadelphia, tho gov ernors wore, forced to tako notice of noisy cocktail drinking by young wmnon on the club porches, For vnrlous reasons, drink lng has decreased among men, ns clubs public dlnnors and prlvato entertainments abundantly show.

TAKU KIMU.Y TO Till! M! ATOIt. Battlo Creek Ittpubllcnn: The final action of tho legislature In choosing Dietrich and Millard for senators atoned for all tho sins of that august body during tho whole ses sion. The state will be ably represented tn tho United States fennte. Thompson nnd Hoscwater deserve credit for 'sacrificing their own Interests In order to bring nbout tho election of theso men. , Mltidcn Gazette (rep.): The action of Thompson, Hoscwater and tho other candi dates for tho United States senate, la with drawing from the light and' turning their strength to new men, places them beforo tho people as better republicans than tho half dozen or more self-constituted guardians of tho party In tho stnto who would hnvo re-, turned to their homes without electing sen ators had tho withdrawals not been made. Those wise legislators, thoso perfectly' good and puro republicans, who run their bluff and kept It up should each bo given a lenthor medal us a mark of their being so much better thin tho balance ot thu party. Ashland Gazette (rep.): The termination of tho senatorial deadlock was much moro happy than It was feared 11 could be. In fact, It could not hnvo been better, and the breach that threatened to do great harm to thu republican party In this stato has been healed. What Is more, tho state will bo represented in the upper house by two thoroughly competent business men, who will attend to the business with loyalty and business foresight. Yet the fact re mains, and Its effect will make Itself fell in tuttiro politics, that the time ut tho legislature that ought to have been given to tho transaction of necessary business wns frittered nway to no purpose. The only conclusion that ono can draw after re flecting upon tho situation In Delaware, Montana and Nebraska Is that tho far bet ter way Is to elect senators by direct voto of the people. Wood ltlver Interests (rep.): The selec tion of Joo Millard of Omaha and Uovcri'cr Dietrich oa tho two senators for Ncbrassa was gladly acquiesced In by a largo ma jority of tho republicans of tho state, who were greatly alarmed lest there should bo no election and thu state would go un represented. While ninny of tho repub licans of Nebraska do not relish thp par ticular manner In which lho cholco ot ben ators was effected, nor do they feel that tlio best senatorial timber Nebraska hhd was elected, .still It Is a matter of congrit ulntton that two good business men have been selected against whom tho party nor tho people have any serious grounds of objection. It Is sincerely to ho hoped that in tho near futuro tho cholco of tho Unt'.;d States senntors by a direct voto of tho pco plo will not bo a hazy dream, but a happy reality. Madison Chronicle (rep.): Tho outcome of tho senatorial contest was a great sur prlBO to all Nebraskans and displeased no one except the unsuccessful candidates and tholr supporters. The fight was a vigorous ono from start to finish, with a gratifying ending. Tho two men selected to tho hlah position of United States senators aro able and conservntlvo men. Governor Dietrich had a hard light In tho campaign last fall, but tho result showed that he had the peo ple's confidence nnd they have had no rea son to regret the support given, for his administration so far has been very busl- ness-llkc. Joo Millard is known through out our great stato and lias tho esteem of all, Ho has been a resident of tho state for forty years or moro and Is well equipped to represent Nebraska In tho senate. He 13 tho head of a great banking houso and Is recognized ns a great financier. The legislature was most fortunato In selecting two such ablo men. Tlldcn Citizen, (rep.): Tho election of two senutors at tho eleventh hour Is causo for gratification to every republican lu Nebraska. For weeks past the situation Justlllcd tho expectation of tho legislative choice falling upon 1). Ii. Thompson or nobody. As lato as tho cvculng preceding tho election the suggestion of dark horses was scouted, but It seems that tho candi dates all came to their sober senses at the last moment and put party fealty beforo personal ambition. Tho withdrawal of all tho republican nsplrauts was soon followed by an agreement to support Diet rich and Millard and Nebraska was onco moro In the column ot republican states. The Citizen still contends that Mr. Hosa wiiter'a acknowledged ability and thirty years of toll for Nebraska and tho repub lican party hnvo honestly earned him thw distinction of being elected as senator from thu North Platte district, but as tho choice of tho legislature has fallen upon two good business men of undoubted loyalty to the republican party, tho sense of in justice to its favorite candldato Is largely atoned for by' tho belief that tho stato will bo ably represented in the national senate by tho two men who havo "fallen up stairs" Into that body.

Every legislature puu through it lot of dangerous measures ou the last days of tho session In tho hurry and bustle to get through. Kearney Hub (rep.): Tho lopping off of Items in the general appropriations and claims bills by tho governor's veto amounts to nbout $1CO,000. It Is a deep and sweeping cut nnd possibly some Innocent pcoplo will suffer, but In tho main the governor's notion will bo upheld. When our debts aro paid we can possibly afford to Indulge In a few luxuries. York Times (rep.): The governor only gave them a scare. Ho wanted to bIiow the legislature what they deserved for giving tho clerk of the court the money that rightfully belongs to the state. Tho su premo court commission will be a fact Just tho samo and then beforo nnother legis lature meets tho work will be caught up and men can go Into the court with hope of speedy relief. Auburn Post (rep,): Governor Dietrich Is creating as much sensation with his Ilttlo veto ns did Orovcr Cleveland n few years ngo, only thnt tho governor's veto is endorsed by 00 per cent of tho citizens of Nebraska, while tho other was not. Tho governor believes the way to mako money Is to save It nnd ho hns cut oft nil extrava gant appropriations mndo by tho legislature. Tho total amount saved to tho stato by tho governor's voto will run up Into tho hun dreds of thousands of dollars. Greeley Leader (rep.): It looks ns though Governor Dietrich's business sense und notions of manly honor so far got tho better of his political policy thnt he con cluded to cut the whole scheme of Jobbery that hung to tho court commissioners by a veto. But thu pressure of tho pntrlots, who arc ablo to work all parties, was so great that hu finally revised his veto and didn't entirely kill tho commission. Wo may bo too far nway to see clearly, but that's the way It looks from hero. Schuyler Sun (rep.): in Justice to tho many who have cases beforo tho supreme court tho Sun believes that Governor Dietrich did right in letting tho supremo court commission stand. In paring down what ho considered needless oxpcnseB con nected with tho court ho did equally right nnd wo glory in tho spunk of a governor who has backbone enough to tako enro of tho . Interests of the taxpayers bb he has been doing. May his successor prove as faithful a watchdog of tho treasury. Falls City Journnl (rep.): Governor Dietrich cuts down appropriations In tho samo wholesale manner as tho alleged "re formers" Increased them. In dcnllng with houso roll No. 436, being a measure pro viding for tho payment of tho salaries of olllccra of the stato government, Governor Dietrich withheld his approval of tho sec tion providing $1,000 per annum for a clerk to tho court reporter nnd $000 for a deputy librarian. In tho course of his message the governor says: "My approval Is with held from tho foregoing appropriations bo cause tho duties rightfully devolve upon tho clerk, and If he 1b unable to perform them he should be required to havo tho work performed without expenso to the state." Governor Dietrich may not bo a roforrher In name, but he Is a reformer lu fact, which Is much better. nil VAN IUillUKIiD. Indlnnapolls Press (lnd.): Incidentally, tho election of Uolla M. Wells, gold demo crat, to bo mayor of St. Louis, wns an In dication to Mr. Bryan, who took a hand In tho campaign against Wells, tbat his rc tltcment from politics wns not made too soon. Detroit Free Press (dcm.): Mr. Bryan's attempt to establish himself as a dictator lu tho local pollticB of St. Louis was bit terly resented by many of the slanchest democrats of tho city, and his opposition Instead of injuring Mr. Wells' candidacy, seems to havo helped it. New York World (dcm.): The notion of the St. Umls democrats In nominating and electing a sound-money man as mayor Is an event ot moro than local Interest. It Is tho most significant of tho niany proofs that tho democrats of tho Bouth and west nro cutting loose from that "body of death" the insanely reiterated 16 to 1 fallacy. New York Mall and Express (rep.): The fight In St. Louis was between Parker, a straight-out republican, and Wells, a gold democrat, and tho latter Is Indebted for his victory is no small degreo to tho abusive attack upon his candidacy by W. J. Bryan. The Ncbraskan,, by his ofllclous Interference In a contest In which he was In no way concerned, appears to havo united tho St. Louis democracy In favor of Mr. Wells a union without which the latter could not have wou. Washington Post (rep.): The only gains scored by tho democrats anywhoro since Mr, Bryan becamo the national leader ot thnt party have been won by Ignoring him and the Issues for which he stands, Tho congressional elections of 1898 showed what tho democrats could do by sinking Bryan Ism, But ho could not tako tho hint. In Kansas City last July he ordained nnother national detent. And thnt did not fcaze his Inordlnnte self-conceit. When bis political brethren In tho republican city of St. Louis mimed a candldato for mayor whom thoy believed they could elect, Mr. Bryan gave all tho aid nnd comfort that ho could to tho Top Coats for Sprin lint for seoniiii to o.vn borate, wo would sny our new toj) coiits won.' pcrfeot.
