Then there are other clalws growing out of the destruction of the property of fo elguers, some of which have alread been presented to the Department of State, Of course Cuba could not assume Spaln’s obligations. Such a burden the people of the island could not carry aud If an attempt should be made by a European power to collect any part of this Spanish debt from Cuba there is no doubt the United States would iu- terpose und fnsist that Spain must pay her own debts. But how about the other claims, such as Germany has laid before our government? Can these also be dismissed as worthless? That is a question that may cause trouble. There 15 no doubt that the United States will be called upon in this matter to protect Cuba and it is not possible to for what complications may result.

In the decision of the United States supreme court In the Neely case the limitations of the powers of the judi clary were recognized. In the arguments before the court, counsel for Neely cou tended that the United States in Cubu acted i alliance with the Cuban re public. Government counsel denied this contention altogether. The dectsion pointed out lh’n! the relations between our governmert and Cuba were to be determined by the political branch of the government, saying that “it is not competent for the judiclary to make any declaration upon the question of the length of time during which Cuba miny be rightfully occupied and controlled by the United States, in order to effect its pacttication How will this recognized limitation of the powers of the judiciary affect the ; " position of the supreme court in regard Uolovel Killlan's appolntment to be |, o n||l|m|lull~l(l|1|l have been tm.

While the Bdwards were not so many, they were nearly all men whose character commanded the attention not only of their contemporarics, but of posterity. While Edward VII may not find his hand so free as did Edward IV, he will find set for it tasks almost as formid able as that of undoing a Warwick, and he may find himself surrounded by politiclans as crafty as a Richard or as aspiring as a Buckingham, He still has the world to convinee that a good fellow may be a good King. In years gone by Indians were given a taste of the power of the United States government to enforce its authority. It is hardly possible that the old men of the tribe have allowed to die out the traditions of the wars which finally ended in their being located in their present territory. The defiance now hurled at the president by the chief of the Suake tribe is simply a mani festation of a phase of Indian character | little understood by white men. In many respects the Indian is a child, and must be treated as such, and when naughty childven are frequently ska dips the flag in sorrow for the death of a true woman and a gracious sovereign, Many thousands of braska's citizens once owned alle glance to Victorla as thelr sovereign, and expatriation in thelr cases has not operated to extinguish the and veneration they retained for her to the end. love It wust be a matter of great chagrin to the lobby to think that the first of the holdup bills went through the lower house of the Nebraska legislature ax if | it were greased.

At the Commercial club banquet one of the reasons glven for congratulation was that Omaha's per capita taxation s less than that of any of its rivals, It| was suggested, though, that a more equitable division should be made.

Springfield Republicar While grip under that admirably descrip- tive title is comparatively new, the thing itself is probably as old as the other germ diseases. The terms grip and influenza are used interchangeably by doctors, and the first recorded influenza cpidemic In Amerlca was that of which Noah Webster wrote in 1786, This epidemle, which died out after o year, followed several epidemics In Europe.

Contrasting Opinfons of the Conduct the Allied Army. Cheago Record annals become more complete the convictlon grows that none the detachments composing the allied torce in China was entirely exempt from the charge of looting and worse. In most instances 1t all depends on the nationality of the witness what the testimony will show as to the relative degrees of obliquity of the various troops involved. It has been a satisfaction to reflect that the soldiers of the United States have stood well at the head in decency and discipline during the Chinese campalgn, even though it has not been claimed that they were absolutely free trom all the evils that followed the capture of Tien Tsin and Pekin. Two Interesting and contrasting opinions have come to band, one published in the London Time from its Tokyo correspondent, the other written for the Antwerp Matin by Victor Collin, its correspondent in China The first statement Is based on {nforma- tion current in Japan among intelligent Japanese observers of the milltary prac- tices of western armies. It is explained that the estimates differ as to the fighting capacity of the various units of the allied army, but are uniform when they discuss conduct and discipline All agree in placing the Unite soldier at the head of the list," w Times correspondent. “No excesses of any kind stand to his discredit xcuses' in the vocabulary of these critics does not in clude the soldier's common fault of in ebriety. No one claims any special virtue for the American in that respect. The appreciations deal solely with crimes—rob- bery, Incendiarism, murder and outrage Not one of thes® is laid to the charge of the United States private. According to Japanese accounts his behavior from first to Inst was that of & gentleman.' This Is gratifying evidence, indeed, as should be appreciated no less in the army than at home. Germans come second in the Japanese list, British third and then after a wide gap the French, followed by the Rus slans at the very Lottom It Is not strange that the Japanese should serutinize the western armies closely, with the memory of the storm of indignation that arose in Burope and American when for once they lost control of themselves and at Port Artbur, in 1804, gave no quarter to the Chinese in retaliation for the shocking tortures they had seen. Except for that one lapse their campaigns were conducted In accordance with the most enlightencd principles, yet, as the Times notes, publicists have pointed to that ome crime as conclusive proof that the Japanese na tion 18 disqualified for alliance with any white people. Mr. Collin, who the first the shocking atrocities perpetr Russians at Blagoveshche places ou the Amur river and in Man- churla, is hardly as kind in his judgment of Americans. He declares that the second place for pillage is given to the American ‘over whom the officers have litt] ntrol and to whom the whole Chine fair seems n good stroke of business.” He hiarges specifically that Amerlcan soldiers have been found breaking open the coffins | n the cemeteries between Tien Tsin | | As the and mor States tes the sober s to was to ted relate by the sk and other | or no and of | valuables He ames the Japanese as best of all, the mans best of the Buropean forces und the ¥French, Americans and Rus slans bad in the order named Evidently personal and of iif formation in the disturbed regions of observation vary sources | muke & cut.
