OUR SAILORS IN PARIS
it
I
The presence of 600 Ameri
can Blue Jackets in Paris, un
furling the ' American flag and
enthusiastic 1II7 received by the
Parisians, is certainly a unique
event. We would not be sur
prised if political importance
should be attached to it by some
European diplomats, although
the occasion was entirely with
out connection with internation
al politics. ; The American rep
resentatives went to - Paris to
receive the earthly remains of
Admiral Paul Jones. The honor
bestowed upon bur sailors by
the French was aa expression
of the genuine friendship, the
citizens of " one ' great republic
naturally entertain for those cf
another. Even the soul-stirring
strains of the Marseillaise
should not inspire fear in any
quarter. The , ceremonies at
tending; the delivery of the re
mains to the Americans were
very impressive and the occa
sion was roost happily chosen
for an exchange of compliments
BOILED DOWN
. Some one described political
economy as "the dismal science"
This is in view of the prolix and
pedantio style of most writers
on political economy, a deserved
epithet Take Adam Smith,
. the recogn'zed ablest author on
political economy and, afier
wading for hours through his
prosey definitions of "values"
and compensations and money,
cheerful indued inmt be your
disposition, if a strong case of
blues has not taken . possession
of you, aud you lay cowu the
ponderous volume with a chilly
feeling and belief that all hu
man effort is but a helpless fol
lowing of .t blind, itisfusiate
heartless destiny that humau
will canuot influence, aud over
which heart and sentiment hss
no away This dreariness comes
because of the failure of the
author to recognise the prime
and Universal motive of human
effort, the purpose to bo accom
plished by labor which on being
boiled down, and reduced to the
last anulyf is is to supply the
home wi'h the nccrsoiies and
comforts of life. The home
family, is the unit of the state,
, and all just Governments are
organized for the protection of
the homes therein, and all laws
, are or should be considered
with reference to the effect their
enforcement will have on . the
home life of the people.
; CUBA'S PROGRESS
The official report of the
mosrcompleto disappearance of
yellow fever from Cuba 'since
the liberation of the island frvm
Spanish rule and the inaugura
tion of American sauitary rneth
ods is peculiarly ctincid nt with
comment by tha E?pana Econ-
omica by Financier, published
in Madrid, in aa article discuss
ing the progress ma ie by Cuba
in her industries, commerce,
public works,, administration,
finance, system af public schools
railways . and . sanitation. . The
article contrasts the present im
proved situationwith that prei
vailing under the old Spanisji
regime. It is ( shown that in
dependence has quadrupled tbe
number of primary public
schools, the increase being par
ticularly marked in the rural
districts. '
Wagon roads had to be con
structed on the island to make
connection 'between points f,
production and points of ship
ment. For this purpose toe
republic is spending millions;',
the Spanish administration Jtft
the work to the producer's ma
chete. Commerce ! between
apain and i)uDa nas ot late been
somewhat expanded. I i
"Yea nothing has . been done'
by our government," 'says the
Madrid paper, "toward a com
mercial treaty which might se
cure our future trde . with th
island."
The paper goes on to say:
The yellow fever was a chronio
reproach to our colonial admin-istration.-
A few months of
hygiene and sanitation during
the American . intervention did
more for the island than the
power of Spair had done in four
centuries." This is a tribute
from Spain which is none the
less gratifying though it is but
the expression of a solf evident
fact. The Cuban people are to
be complimented upon carrying
forward the work begun by the
mericanc,and the American
people can congratulate them
selves not only on .mating
Cuba free, but on giving , her
such a s;ood start before hang
ing over the reins of govern
men.
