The responsibility is with the republicans. ‘They have shown no desire to shirk it. 1 the contrary, at their caucus, held the ‘ay after Congress assembled, the repub- lican Senators ‘promptly teok the Dingley bill under advisement. An early report was fairly to be expected. But before eny tigation of the situation could be made, Mr. Atlen comes forward now with & motion designed to take the whole mat- ter out of their hands and throw the bill a bait of raw beef into the arena of tor opposes the bill in In fact he was a m= ber of the free coinage coalition which the bill up at the last session.“ He lares that the bill could be put into such as to secure his vote.

Travel in the British is im several respects uncomfortable a mpared with that in America and of Jate years the managers of the English reilway systems have begun to realize the advantages offered by such devices as the American couplers, the American baggage check system, the Pullman car service, the dining room car and the various schemes to heat passenger ccaches. All of these were unknown up to a comparatively short time o in England and now that the magnates © started in to adopt the best features the American system, the advantages of which have been thoroughly demonstrated by the experience of over half a century, many of the patrons of the roads have begun to protest against these “innova- tions” which they denounce as unpatriotic, loyal and altogether unnecessary. For anee, one of the Queen's subjects re- Uy wrote to the London “Engineer” a letter which was reprinted in the latest issue of the “Engineering News” on this de of the water. He bases his objectio: the Americanizing of the railways main- ly on the differences of climate, the shorter average of a journey’s length in England and the moss-covered foundations of cus- tom on which the typical English service is based. He thinks that the heating of a car, for instance, is wholly unnecessary in # country where ice is not formed thick way s and it breaks Cuba’ © att way ha of enough to hear the weight of a dog. although American travellers in England ; have in the pest had ample reason to com- Plain against the almost dangerously low temperatures of the compartment cars. He thinks the Amcrican car-coupler Saas | as compared with the English device which railway engineers unite in condemning as dangerous and awkward. He protests against the introduction of luxury into the railway trains as being unsuited to the temp2rament of the average passenger and be considers that the adoption of dining cors is a deadly blow at the liberties of Froprietors of railway station eating houses, which in America, certainly, are responsible for a large proportion of the national indigestion. is argument against the adoption of the American baggage check system is that the average journey in Britain is so short as to make the adopt.on of such a plan undesirable, ignoring the fact that the discomfort of finding one's trunk amid a chaos of baggage without | means of certain identification is just as great at the end of a three-hour trip as at the end of one that has lasted three da; His concluding piea is pathetic. He says: “t very much fear that when hard times come again and the companies find peopie have been made dissatisfied with the com- fertabl2 and protitabie English coach, they Will regret the necessity for building more ard more of these travelling drawing rcoms, dining rooms, bed rooms, smoking rcoms, kitchens, lavatories and heaven only knows what.” 3 — ¢ = The Domestic Tyrant. A nation in decay is very much like an individual in decay. The same humors, the Same excesses, crop out, and call for the same redre: on the part of those upon whem they are visited. It is often the case that a man in misfor- tune, whether because of his own or some- body else's fault, inflicts upon his. own household the passionate resentment he fecls against fate. He becomes hard and uncompromising in the treatment of his family, and a nuisance where he ought to be a guardian and benefactor. There is no earthly excuse for his conduct. The mem- bers of his family may be absolutely inno- cent of any part or lot in his downfall. But that makes no difference with him. He cannot survey himself in his altered state without holding somebody to account, and he selects those who are the most helpless and the most easily within reach. If they protest, and protest with energy; that serves but to increase his fury. The m: whe has to be put under bonds pub- licly to keep the peace under his own roof doesn’t deserve to have a roof, and rarely stands to his obligation. How completely Spain stands in this relation to Cuba! She was cnte a proud power—held her head up among the nations, and was respected. Then she began to go Gown hill. Historians are not in agree- ment as to the cavse. But the fact is past dispute. One after another of her colonies rebelled and freed themselves from her rule, until now only two remain, and both are in revolt. She has grown hard and un- compromsing with them, and has been visiting on them the utmost severity of her bitter and reduced state. Neither Cuba nor her Phillipine colony is in any respect responsible for her seedy and disheartened condition. But both have been “catching it’ just as though they had brought it all on. They were within reach, and they ap- peared to be helptess, and so Spain, who should have been their guardian and bene- factor, turned persecutor, and has been making life a burden to them, the members of her own household. has appealed to mankind, but par- arly to her next door neighbor and friend the United States, for protection. She ought to receive it. She ought to have received it long ago. Spain now talks about doing better toward Cuba in future. It is all talk. This public exposure of her con- duct has served but to make her the more bitter in her heart against Cuba, and the more certain in case her authority is re- established tnere to be severer than ever. Her bonds for future good behavior ought not to be taken. She would not respect them Cub ——_+>+e—____.
