SR . .Market and Third, S. F. IS CUBA DIVIDED ? T WAS expected that if any friction occurred between the Cuban Constitutional Convention and the United States it would originate with the party of Gomez. To the surprise of all who are au courant with island affairs, General Gomez avows himself in favor of the guarantees asked by the United States, and advises that our occupancy continue until they are granted! 3 This is a"perplexing situation. Gomez was expected to take just the opposite position. But the men and combinations relied upon to support the pretensions of the United States are against him and oppose this country : Read between the lines, however, and the position of Gomez is in logical line with his policy. He sees plainly that our occupancy will not terminate until the guarantees are given, and that the longer we remain in possession the less likely is Cuban independence. He doubtless sees also that the policy of the annexationicts is to deny the demands of this country so as to furnish a pretext for annexation on the score of its necessity.in protection of our interests. Following his idea, it is. to be expected that he reasons that if all these guarantees are given now they will add to the stability of the Cuban republican government and to its successful administration until it reaches such an angle of repose and soundness and order that the guarantees themselves will be lost sight of in the character of that government and in its ability and disposition to deport itself on the line of the guarantees as its natural and proper course. From our standpoint the annexation of Cuba.is unde- sirable. There be those who say, “We have sores and sorrows now in Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines and one more of the same kind will be only a slight addition to our penance—only one pea more in the shoeful upon which we are limping.” But this we do not admit. To openly or covertly promote any course leading to the annexation of Cuba, in the teeth of our pledge not to do so, is a very different matter from. anything we have done in the other cases. We may have done that which needs excuse and explanation, but if we take Cuba we will have to blush for it, with a feeling that no excuse nor explanation can cure. It is with no satisfaction that one reads in American riewspapers that the Cubans are ignorant, vicious, of a degraded race and unfit for independence, for that is just what Spain said as her excuse for denying them that freedom which we solemnly declared was of right theirs. No matter what they are now—they are the same people whose cause we hallowed to the world as holy; they are the same whont we declared were fighting for the cause and deserving of the same rights as our own forefathers. They are no worse and no better now than they were in 1898, when we made their cause our cause, and embarked our ship of state upon a stormy and unsounded sea to go to their rescue. ; The very argument made against them now, that they are mostly negroes, ignorant and in- capable of self-government, is an argument against annexation. 1f they are that kind of people we do not want them as possible citizens and their islands as a potential state of this republic. It is to be hoped that Gomez will bring his people to see as he does. THE PLEASURE OF KILLING. B | SR WAY up between the polar circle and the pole, in the land of snow and ice, where nature is most forbidding and the struggle for animate existence is most' intense, human beings live. The Eskimo, the people of the floe and glacier, fui-clad and blubber-fed, inhabit that dreadful and dreary waste, where winter is the king of the seasons. They have all the arts needful to utilize the slender means cf life in that zone, and none can excel them in skill in the chase, the fishery, the fabrication of garments or the building of habitations suited to their physical condi- tions. These children of the aurora borealis are members of nature’s social union and have a right to existence. But their means of living are being wantonly taken away from them. In the Hudson Bay region the muskoxen are being slaughtered and exterminated by bold white adventurers who trav- erse leagues of snow in quest of sport. The walrus of Greenland are being destroyed in the same wa; This elephant of the sea is the leading resource of the Eskimo: Its bones, flesh, fat, skin and ivory tusks are all of the greatest value in his domestic economy. They furnish food, cloth- ing, implements, shelter and weapons. = As the walrus grows scarce the Eskimos starve and die. Their poor little villages are depopulated, hut after hut, until all are gone, and silence is where the simple people were once busy about their primitive arts. Nature is not lavish in bestowing animal life upon those far northern lands and waters. Her resources there are so abridged that all forms of life must keep well within the food supply. So the walrus and seal must fish from the waters for the Eskimo and be his prey that he may live. Though the Greenland Eskimo has merged his blood with the white Northmen who col- onized his frozen country, the congeners and descendants of the ancient sons of the ice still live on the coasts, near the cold waters, where they can capture the walrus with their spears, and the wanton slaughter of that animal starves them. The Eskimos on the west’ coast of this continent are no more fortunate than their brethren on Baffins Bay. In the Sunday Call was a story of starvation all alorg the Alaskan coast from Norton Sound to beyond the mouth of the Mackenzie. White men for many years have been visiting those waters and have wantonly killed the walrus. Thousands of these animals have been shot in situations where the bodies could not be retrieved and where no effort was made to recover them. Indeed, when the white men shot them it was not for the purpose of making any use of them at all, but for the mere pleasure of killing. The Treasury Department has been notified that this killing for pleasure of the Arctic ani- mals means the starvation of human beings, and the cruel extermination of every Eskimo settlement in Northern Alaska. Orders were sent to the Collector at Port Townsend to request Arctic cap- _tains to discourage such slaughter, but it is doubtful if much attention will be paid to it. The press of the country should rouse public opinion against such cruelty to the animals themselves, many of them being wounded to perish miserably on the ice floes, and such waste of the food and other supplies on which human life depends. True, it is not human life in its most exalted and refined expression, but these people of the pole are our belated brothers, lost in the Arc- tic night and arrested on their march toward the light. They are a far,people, and we do not have to see them curl up in their stone huts and give up the life which was as dear to them as ours 1s to us. » : But in the midst of our plenty and comfort the civilized conscience ought to get sore and sensitive at the thought that these distant dead are the victims of the pleasure we take in killing! The distance is great and the difficulties of enforcing law and compelling respect for the right of the Eskimo to live are so many that it is probable this wicked extermination will go on until the tragedy is over, and the northern lights will fall upon a wilderness where man is no more. A FESTAL INAUGURATION. A St ISPATCHES from Washington announce that the inaugural parades and ceremonies will be conducted this year on a scale of magnificence and with a richness of artistic decoration never before attempted on such occasions. It is natural that it should be so. The increas- ing wealth and population of the national capital afford at each succeeding inaugural an increased incentive toward grand display and an increased means of attaining it. Moreover the number of visitors from various parts of the country grows larger with the years, and thus that element of the parade is also more imposing and more joyous with each new occasion. There is another factcr in the development of inaugural parades that must not be over- looked. The American people have become fond of grand spectacles. We are a pageant-loving people. Almost any appeal for money for such enterprises brings forth large subscriptions. We had a striking illustration of that fact when preparing for the welcome home of the California troops who had served in the Philippines. Other instances can be found on all sides. In fact so much have we grown to delight in rich pageantry and display that our old-fashioned county fairs with their homely simplicity have heen almost abandoned in favor of flower and fruit festivals, where the exhibits of rural industry are displayed with every accessory of banners and garlands and bright col- ored festoons that is known to the art of decoration. In all of that there is nothing to regret. The change from the old forms to the new delight is not a change from simplicity to ostentation, but from dullness to artistic joy. We have not be- come extravagant. We have become cultured. We have discovered beauty and are trying to re- alize it by every means in our power. The effests of the change are to be noted in the homes of the people, in the windows of the shops and in every other department of life. g The inauguration of a President affords Washington a chance to provide such spectacles on. a grand scale, and the city is well adapted for their display. We may reasonably expect therefore that such parades will eventually become noted the world over. What will be done this vear will be but an intimation of greater glories to come. ! - MANSFIELD and the Ideal AMERICAN By L. Du R. MANSFIELD - has publicly suggested to Mr. Carnegie that he has, perhaps, done enough for public libraries—some of which, by, the way, are so iii- managed that they do more harm than good—and that it would now be a grace- ful thing for kim to endow a theater, “which is not primarily a commercial en- terprise, a money-meking concern. Have it so financially independent that it can reject what Is not the best and encourage that which seems to it worth while, even though the latter does not pay. These are golden ‘words, but they come with a bad grace from Mr. Mansfield, who 13 now endeavoring to repudiate his prom- ise to pay M. Rostand's royalties and who, more than any one actor in the United States, is responsible for the fail- ure of the Actors’ Assoclation to make head against tke theatrical syndicate. It is not probable, as Mrs. Fiske pertinently points out, that Mr. Carnegie or any other milllonaire will do anything to help the actors of America until they show signs of courage enough to help themselves. -k Nobody expects poor and obscure actors | vainly to martyrize themselves by knock- | ing their brains out against the stone wall of the syndicate, but one does expect the first actor of America—that we must con- cede Mr. Mansfield to be—to make some kind of a stand against an institution which he has declared to be “‘a menace to art—an outrage and unbearable.” Time was when Mr. Mansfleld expected this Dr. Jekyll mgods. When in that mood he entered into a solemn ledgue and cov- enant- with Francis Wlison, James A. Herne, James O'Neill and Mrs. Fiske “for pendent stage in this country.” But then the Mr. Hyde mood came over him and he, the man who could best afford to make the fight; he, whom people would go to see if he played in a booth or in a barn; he, who is continually prating about his ideals of art and the uplifting of the stage; he deliberately broke the written agreement he had made with his friends, hoisted the milk-white flag of | surrender under | safe retreat of the trust camp, ordered | his man Friday—Palmer—to write to his former associates as follows: *I think he (Mr. Mansfield) regrets that he signed the agreement ard blames me for having per- suaded him to sign it against his own judgment.

People who enjoy fair health take Stuart’s Tablets as regularly as they tako thelr meals, because they want to keep well. Prevéntion is always better than cure, and Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent indigestion and thev remove it where it exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit and efficiency better than any other argument. B. KATSCHINSKI, PHILADELPHIA SHOE CO. 10 THIRD ST.. San Francisso.
