Every word and action of Taylor has been misrepresented and construed against him. He was first charged with having hatched a conspiracy which resulted in Mr. Goebel's assassination. He was then represented as a crazy man, raging behind militia guns at Frankfort, under the joint influences of cowardice and remorse. He left town to attend his sister's funeral, taking a daylight train and announcing his destination, and he was posted as a fugi- tive, making tracks for Indiana. He then came here and went on to New York, hiding his identity at neither point, and again it Was announced that he had confessed his guilt by flight. It is nothing, so far as the political cru- sade ts concerned, that the Hes have been as promptly refuted as told. The industry will be continued. The object of it all, as was frankly admitted in one of the negotiations f repres and ¢ Roosevelt for a “confession,” is to “hang Gov. Taylor and damn the republican party of Ken- tueky.” And, as “while the lamp holds out to burn. the yilest sinner may return,” while a dollar of that hundred thousand perjury fund. appropria by the Goebel lature, remains unexpended, the state will be rak=d for “testimony to advance partisan objects at the expense, If nece: f human life.

Evidences are at hand to indicate a pur- m™ in certain quarters to stir up the Cu- bans to at least the semblance of revolt against the administration. The other day Senator Mason introduced a resolution call- ing for @ declaration of the government's intentions !n the matter of the American Occupation of the island and intimating that July 4 would be an appropriate time for the withdrawal of the troops. it week a flurry fn insular politics was caused by the retirement of Rius Rivera from Gen. Wood's cabinet. Now it is announced that Rivera has a large “following.” read} to Join in a demonstration of force against the United States. Of course this means revolution, nothing less. If sincerely in- tended and practically executed the move- ment will cause Cuba great distress and a Prolongation of the period of American occupation. It would be the most un- wise step the radical leaders of Cuba could possibly taka For it is not to be believed for a moment that Rivera represents the real sentiments of the Cubans or that his “following” is typical of the people. The chances are that he heads a small band of malcontents, extremists, professional agi- tators, ready for any change and for an opportunity to engage in a sensational en- terprise. Were there any valid excuse for these American and Cuban suspicions that the administration fs not acting in entire good faith toward Cube it would be per- fectly proper for Congress to give the cue for a new declaration of intentions. But nothing of record or of justifiable appre- hension exists to suggest that the original enunciation of principles toward Cuba com- bined with the resolution of intervention which led to the war with Spain does not today represent the honest program of this government. The process has been some- what slow, to be sure, but no slower than the circumstances justified. It has involved many embarrassments, but probably fewer than would have been the case had not this government been generously tolerant of Cuban prejudices wherever practicable. The program of withdrawal has been fol- lowed step by step. A part-Cuban govern- ment is in charge of affairs, the census— first move toward ascertaining the desires of the people—has been completed, those residents preferring to retain their Spanish allegiance have recorded themselves, and if no overt act hampers the program it will not be many months before the plans of the people as to the form and processes of gov- ernment will have been ascertained by a plebiscite and a constitutional convention. Governments are not made in a day. Hasty work now might prove the greatest of han- dicaps to Cuba's future prosperity and peace. Dealing with inflammable materials, every step must be most carefully guarded in the formative days. Cuba is losing noth- ing by waiting. Her revenues are being more honestly coHected and more carefully expended than ever before, her provinces are in a state of more profound peace than for many years, her industries are reviving under the influence of good government, the majority of her people are learning pa- tience and citizenship under American guidance. An intemperate outburst now on the part of a self-seeking agitator might harm the best interests of the island im- measurably. The best service the real friends of Cuba can do her today Is to urge against all such incendiary, unrea- sonable movements. —__- + +e —____ How British Oleo is Yellowed. The adulteration of foods and the imita- tion of natural food products cannot be said to be confined by any means to this country. They are having experience in England and doubtle: on the continent with much the same evils against which the farmers and housekeepers of America are just now struggling. A governmental ecmmittee has been sitting in England of late asking questions about foods in a man- ner which the majority of the House com- mittee on ways and means would probably characterize as impertinent and illegal. Nevertheless information is being elicited which is vastly instructive to the English consumers of certain foods. For instance, this extract from the current issue of Ap- pleton’s Popular Science Monthly shows how adroit yet how conscienceless are the British manufacturers: “A witness recently admitted to the Brit- ish government's committee now making nquiry into the use of coloring matters and rvatives in food, that yellow coloring ices were largely purchased without discrimination for the purpose of giv- ing a rich appearance to milk and milk products. Asa rule, no question was asked as to the injurious or non-injurious char- acter of the dye so used. One of the best coloring matte known as Martius’ yellow, naphthol yellow, naphthalene yel- low, Manchester yellow, saffron yellow, or golden yellow, and is chemically the same as the dinitroalpha-naphthol prepared from the naphthalene that crystallizes In gas mains, which is an important constituent in the making of lyddite. It ts slightly ex- plosive when heated, is injurious when it comes in contact with an abrasion of the skin, and has been shown by physiological experiments to be a highly improper sub- stance to mix with food.” There is no reason to believe that this form of enterprise is confined to England. To be sure lyddite is not at present an article of American manufacture, but oleo- margarine is, and !t might be important to ascertain—if the House committee would but permit the inquiry—whether this yel- low coloring matter which enters into the composition of explosives and imitation but- ter with equal facility is favored by the American oleo trust. ——__+« «—____ No Boer “Sympathy” in the Senate. The Senate today refused to consider a resolution of sympathy with the Boers. There were 20 votes in favor of taking up the resolution and 29 against it. This margain of nine votes is wide enough to declare emphatically to the world that the upper house of the Am n Congress has no Intention of interfering with England's Process of regulating the affairs of South Africa. This declaration may be under- stood in even a broader sense. It may be taken to mean that the United States gov- ernment does not regard the war in Africa as calling for {ts comments, favorable or unfavorable; that this republic does not propose to allow itself to be drawn into entanglements out of sympathy or hatred or as a result of an sperate domestic political maneuvering. The Senate has adopted the course of wisdom and safety. Had the vote been reversed the govern- ment, to be sure, would not have been pledged to intervention, nor would the ex- pression of sympathy have been broad enough to embarrass the administration In serious degree. But it would have been un- deniably in bad taste and possibly produc- tive of even greater evils in after years, for so dangerous a precedent to be established. ——__+ = —____ Mr. Roberts of Utah will observe that sometimes having more money than he knows what to with will get a statesman into trouble as eastly as having too many wives. . ———__ = —__ Senator Quay can, of course, be abso- lutely sure of the sympathy and support of Governor Stone in thts crists. ———_+ += —_____ Some of the English are making ominous use of the formal “General Roberts” in- stead of “Our Bobs.

The work of raising funds in this coun- try for the succor of the starving people of India was started last night by a mass meeting in New York city addressed by some of the most prominent persons in attendance upon the ecumenical conference. Some of the speakers gave thrilling per- sonal experiences with the Indian famines, having served in that stricken land as mis- stonaries. The meeting was a success in that a strong committee was formed to take charge of the collection of money and a considerable nucleus for the relief fund was secured immediately. It is expected that the American contribution, collected under these auspices, will be large. The famine situation in Indfa is the more appalling because ft {is recurrent. The British government has accomplished won- ders in preventing starvation among the people in famine years, and in solving, even in @ small measure, the general prob- lem of famine prevention. -But the task is gigantic. It involves elements so far reaching that {It is doubtful whether any present governmental enterprise will more than reach the superficial conditions. The land is over-populated. The people are strictly agricultural in their habits. They are restricted by stern religious doctrines and by inflexible rules of caste. They are helpless If left alone and prejudiced against many of the measures taken for their per- manent relief. The solution of the problem les in the change of the population from an agricul- tural to an industrial basis, and to accom- plish this end it is necessary virtually to remake India Some success has been stand?” achieved, but in the face of the enormous numbers requiring virtual regeneration the beginning is but paltry. Climatic condi- thons cannot, of course, be changed. The failure of the crops is a steadily recurrent evil, caused by the peculiar geographical surroundings of the peninsula. With al- most every community primarily cependent upon the soil for sustenance, with no great industrial enterprises to interpose a bar- rier between the treacherous soll and the millions relfant upon it, a crop failure means death to hundreds of thousands. Charity saves many lives. Organized re- lief works partially fend off the penalty the people must pay te their conservatism. But until India learns that life depends upon a new economy England will continue to face this perennial responsibility. And to expect India to learn so tremendous a lesson, destructive of all the doctrines, habits and prejudices of centuries, is al- most to look for the millennium. The Christian world must continue to bear this burden. The missionaries may accomplish a great deal by teaching the Hindus new ways and views of life and, perhaps, this leaven in the lump will even- tually lessen the hardships which Indian fanaticism has imposed upon the white in- truders. ——___+ 6-5» —____ The stateman who does not get his name mentioned for President or Vice President within the next few weeks may as well consider himself permanently off the books. ——_+ = _____ Mr. Clark of Montana may take occasion to remind Mr. Daly that one losing hand does not decide a game, and that he has a number of chips left. i Se So many get employment taking the cen- sus that the statistics about people out of work cannot be accepted as absolutely convincing. —___ + «+ —_____ The British army will take time to re- cuperate, and the Boers will probably em- brace the opportunity to do some more farming. —__+ -=____ SHOOTING STARS. “I suppose you will be a little lonely.” “Why?" asked the base ball enthusiast. “Won't have any ball club, you know.” “Well, the only difference is that this summer we are going to own up to it.” A Disappointment of Wealth.

But I'm too proud to come here an’ use yer back yard fur a gymnasium widout payin’ you a cent fur it."" “Some men," said Uncle Eben, “keeps so busy braggin’ ‘bout deir doin’s dat dey nebber has no time lef’ ter do sump'n wuf braggin’ "bout." Very Annoying. “I despise a person who whistles,” said Mr. Blykins. ‘We have one in our office, and he worries me almost to death.” “Haven't you an ear for music?” “Of course I have. There's the difficulty. Whenever I happen to be whistling to my- self, he invarlably takes up the same tune and drowns me out.” The May Queen. ‘The May Queen comes with gentle tread And gracious manners fair to see, Alas! Where are her courtlers fled? Is no one left to bend the knee? The youths and lasses, once so blythe, By studious scowls their thoughts make known; The pedagogue, with tyrant withe, Has quite usurped her blooming throne. Her Jesters’ arts to trade are turned; Each wields a stern satiric shaft. And e’en the troubadours have Icarned To sing of commerce, war and craft. The May Queen comes, ail garlanded, And yet there sounds no note of glee. Oh, where are all her courtiers fled? Is no one left to bend the knee? ———+++___. A Record on Pensions, From the Indlanapolis News The dispatches announce that “the House broke all records today by passing ninety- one private pension bills.” After making every allowance, there is a recklessness on the part of Congress in dealing with this subject that is most rep- rehensible. It seems impossible to make smen realize that it is the people's that is being spent in this way— money taken from the people in the shape of taxes. It is also true that under our system the bulk of the taxes is pald by poor people, or by those in moderate ctr- cumstances. But the men who have the power to make appropriations too frequent- ly regard themselves, not as trustees for the people, but as attorneys for claimants. And the result fs that those with special interests are taken care of, while those who are affected only in a general way are forgotten. The only thing to be done is to call attention to abuses; to insist that special bills shall be considered by a quo- rum of the House; and to continue to de- mand of Congress the strictest economy in the expenditure of the public money, ———+ +s —___ Not the Right Sentiment. From the Philadelphia Times, A sentiment is developing In Washington that is opposed to maintaining the dignity of this country, just becavse it will cost more money to collect the debt (from Tur- key) than it represents.

Rather than be “bluffed" by Turkey, or any other nation owing an admitted obligation, our entire resources in arms, ships and money should be exhausted in its collection. tunls 18 the popular and the correct feel- ing. ———_>+2—____ A Difference in Appointments. From the Kansas City Star. The appointment to the position vacated by Webster Davis of Frank L. Campbell of the District of Columbia 1s said to have been made by the President as a promotion for merit in an old and Set arece employe of the department. The appointment in this respect differs distinctly from that of Davis. ——> +> —___ For Wheeling or Golfing. From the Haberdasher. ‘The proper breeches for wear when whoal- ing or for golf, if you prefer to wear breech- es, are of the decided pear shape. y are very loose about the hips and thighs and fit snugly under the knee. The knee buttons are closely spaced and the vent is in front of the leg, just on the outside of the shin bone. The breeches are made of tweeds or rough cheviots and are best in derk grounds with a neat hair line plaid. They may be worn with a black jacket of the Norfolk or plain model, or with the scarlet golf Jacket. With the breeches wear plain top hose, low-cut calf shoes, a soft shirt, trace leather belt, coat, stock, ker- chief or collar and tie or four-in-hand.
