" ' runlshment of Kiithbone Et Al.

wnti'Sifhik' tliciu fin-li to ton reum' tin
Iirlsoiimi'iit nnd heavy flues the audcn
ela court nt Ilnvami bus done itself
rredit. It him taken a long time to
aceoniplUb this end, which Is ottribut
ed. to the difficulty of obtaining affl
davits in the United States and the
Involved procedure of the Spanish law
under which the defendants were tried;
bat now that Justice has been done
honest people here and In the Island
Urill rejoice.
There were peculiar reasons why
these men, if proved guilty and there
Las never been much doubt on that
score should not escape severe pun
.' Ishment. They were sent as the trust
ed agents of the United States to or
ganize and put in operation a postal
system in Cuba, introducing American
methods in place of those which had
' prevailed under Spanish misrule. They
;were selected not only for their sup-
posed integrity, but for their apparent
business ability, one of them, Itath-
boue, having served as fourth assist
ant postmaster general at Washington,
They were to give the .Cubans, yet un
' schooled In self govertiment. an object
lesson in the management of postal af
fairs, teaching them superior methods
and instilling principles of Integrity
thrift and enterprise. Instead of this
" they gave almost from the start an ex
hibition of extravagance and Incompe
tency and finally looted the Cuban post
al department of something like $125,
000. Much was expected of Itathbone.
JJeely nnd Reeves, and their betrayal
of their trust was measurably a refiec
. tlon ujon the government which had
undertaken to put the Cubans In the
- pathway of Intelligent, prosperous and
righteous self government. Had they
escaped their Just deserts It would
" have been almost a national disgrace
and would have set before the young
republic a most deplorable example. It
Is therefore gratifying to Americans
as well as to Cubans that these inale-
factors have been fined approximately
to the full amount of their peculations
' besides being condemned to penal
servitude for terms of ten years.
Now and then we are -reminded In
that delicate and tactful way charac
teristic of the French people that there
- are still such things as Franco-Amer
ican ties. It is noted that the Pari
sians are now busy in arranging a per
, forma nee at the Grand Opera House
iwhlch will excel any dramatic enter-
r talnment ever given, even In that home
. of the drama. The proceeds will be
; given to the McKluley monument fund.
-The government Is giving its activo
-, support, and every social and artistic
organization is sharing in the work.
. In the circumstances It is not pleasant
1 for us to recall that when President
, Carnot was assassinated our sympathy
. (was shown only In a few formal offi-
, clal messages. That however, should
serve only to double our appreciation
of the present attitude of the Parisians.
, Tbere seems to be rather a dearth of
sensations in New York these days.
Florence Burns has been Bet free and
gone into retirement; the Patrick poi
soning case la ended with conviction of
the accused; nobody has yet appeared
to claim the reward for telling who
. killed McAuliffe, and District Attorney
Jerome is talking for publication less
fluently and forcibly than formerly.
Of course there may be a tunnel explo
. slon or a cavein almost any moment to
kill a dozen people or drop a Fifth av
enue palace into the subway but the
Gothamites have got used to such little
occurrences and don't mind tbem. The
.metropolitan newspapers should re
sume the discussion of the Raines law
sandwich and the open Bide door and
liven up the sleepy old town, i

The new English stamps just issued

taken place.

Cambridge is Btlll behind Oxford In

fifty-ninth between the two universi

won her thirty-third victory, and pre
