Today Means Much for Cuba.
Should Congress grant belligerent riglits to the
Cubans today it will be an act of mercy for which the
civilized yorld will be thankful. At 4 o'clock this after
noon the question will come to a vote, and there is good
reason to believe that a concurrent resolution will be
adopted which will put an end to the brigand-like butch
ery of the Spaniards and place the Cuban war on a less
barbarous footing.
Aside from the duty this country owes as a republic
to patriots desirous of attaining a like condition, the rec
ognition of the Cubans by Coiigress will be a business
transaction that will do more to secure their future favor
and trade than yrears of active commercial soliciting. The
profitable returns from Cuba's rich fields heretofore ab
sorbed by Spain will naturally fall to the friend that
helped her in a time of need, and as the Cubans are sure
to achieve independence our expression of national sym
pathy is certain to win their practical gratitude.
It is estimated that there are $25,000,000 of Amer
ican capital already invested in Cuba which will bring no
returns until peace has ended her struggles. Should it re
sult in Spanish supremacy, the increase of taxes to meet
the expenses of tlie war would make this investment un
profitable; but with Cuban success, made possible by an
act of Congress, American investments, both now and in
future, would be assured of satisfactory returns. Before
the war the annual net revenue of Cuba "was about $80, -000,000,
and under economical Cuban rule that amount
would be largel- increased, inasmuch as it is believed that
Spanish officials squander and steal at least $20,000,000 a
year.
It is useless to speculate on the proportion of this
income that would reach this country as a result of com
mercial intercourse, but it must be taken for granted
that with a friendly feeling existing betweeii Cuba and
the United States the amounfwould be entirely satisfac
tory. It is perhaps unfortunate that the Administration
has shown such hostility to the Cuban cause, and has so
long neglected to encourage recognition. But if Congress
acts promptly and favorably toda7 the arrests and prose
cution of alleged filibusters will soon be forgotten,
and the sentiment of the American people will be in
dicated by their representatives.
O
Something: About the Gas Question.
The question ofcheaiwr gns is uovrl.crore
tlie House District Committee, aud next
Tuesday an effort will be made to decide
whether It is to be furnished by a com
petitive company or If a maximum price
will be fixed at which the Washington and
Georgetown Gaslight Company will be re
quired to supply consumers. Were it
not for the wild-cat cliemc of the Colum
bia company to bring natural gas from
West-Virginia for fuel purposes "its propo
sition to .-eIl Illuminating gas at GO and 75
cents a thousand would seem reasonable.
But. when a cori'ration -promises a gcod
thing and then offers to a- com;uuy it with
impossibilities, tlie entire project is
given a moonshine halo . Even were the
West Virginia gas fields sufficiently prolific
to allow their product to be piped via

btrcets tc be torn up to lay mains for its
distribution, because of the limited life
of tlie natural gas supply.
The Columbia company doubtless means
business and hopes to carry out its con
tracts. It would be unjust to insinuate
that possibly its projectors are trying
to obtain a franchise for speculative pur
poses, but there Is an air of mystery sur
More Sufferers
Perhaps the Turks liave taken fresh
courage from the iiitiful declarations of
Lord Salisbury regarding the ArmcnianB,
for reports come of new massacres or
Christians who have refused to embrace
the Mohammedan religion. The news
filters through slowly, as the strictest
Mirveillaucc is exercised by the Turkish
officials in the East -witli a view to allow
ing as little intelligence as possible regard
ing the actual condition of nrfairs there to
reach the outside -world. Nevertheless, in
spite of this. JJie accounts from there re

but too plainly that the volcano of re

occur at aiiy moment.

Millions of dollars are annually paid out
by the government for the maintenance of
postoffices of the fourth-class. A good
many of these millions might be saved if
Congress were to authorize or direct the
Postmaster General to consolidate wher
ever practicable, the smaller offices; that
is, make them substations of a larger office
near by, and thu cut off the expense
involved in maintaining &o many separate
establish ments. It ie, towever. not only
a question of greater economy, but of better
service, and tlie consolidation, therefore, is
adviableupon two very important grounds.
The trouble with carrying this desirable
reform into practicable effect lies in this
wh.ili It would benefit the people it would
hurt thepolillcians, whom it would deprive
of about the only patronage which, tinder
the operations of the civil service law, Is
still left to them. Yet In this very ob
jection of the politician lies another good
reason for bringing the cliange about, for
the more the spoils element is eliminated
the better will be tlie quality of our politics
and iiolitieinns. Every fonrth-class post
master abolished would become a clerk to
soiiie other postmaster, and subject to'thc

danger in recklesoly dealing with them.
It is a serious thing to give a corporation
permission to tear up the streets and
impede and obstruct travel, to say nothing
of filling public highways ivith uusightly
and uncomfortable debris, and before do
ing so Congress should earefully consider tlie
consequences and decide IT the public
would be benefited by the grauting of a
franchise to the Columbia Gns Company.
As the District legislative body, Con
gress has power to fix the pricC' of gas
and determine Its illuminating qualities.
The AVashingtonand Georgetown Gas Com
pany Is as well equipped to manufacture
good .gas at a reasonable price as any new
company could be, ard from a business
standpoint and in the interests iof con
sumers, it would stem the better policy
to compel that company to meet our re
quirements than to run the risk of bother
ing tlie public by depet d:ng on the pledges
of an unknown concern to give us cheaper
and belter gas. It is to be hoped that J
Congress will take tills view of the
situation. It would certainly meet the
requirements of citizens and prevent the
trouble and inconvenience of disordering
our-streets to lay new mains.

we might expect some reliable informa

will not only prevent them from obtain

which the Turkish government has ex

half-hearted at the best, and even were it
all that it should be the resistance of. Uie

The Armenian Christians are doomed

It would be possible for the roslmaster
General to accomplish the reform, If it
were not that he cannot transfer the un
used balance of the appropriation for
postmasters to the appropriation for post
orriee clerks, though by so doing he could
effect both the change and a considerable
saving. Tlie House Committee on Post
offices and Fostroads might grant him the
permission, or the Committee on Appro

they will not, for they would thereby
vo.'nntarily deprive themselves of the little
mess of pottage that is yet theirs.

AFTER an absence of fourteen years
Robert T.VJan Horn yesterday after
noon took tlieontli as Representative
from the Fifth Missouri district, suc
ceeding Mr. Tar&ney, unseated .
Mr. Van Horn is a ivMtc-lialrcd, "white

City, Mo., "vvhcic he established theJKansaB
City Journal, of. whir h paper he is still
the editor and proprietor.
Mr. Van Horn was elected mayor of
Kansas City in 35 Gl and again in lgGTi,
having served during the war as an of
ficer of Uic Twenty-fifth Missouri In
fantry. "While in the field he was elected
to the Missouri. senate in lf2. and beforo
the expiration of the term was elected
to Congress, and ic-clcctcd twice, serving
In the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and Forty
first Congresses. He was collector of
internal revenue for the Sixth MIsouri
district from 1S75 to 1681. He -was a
delegate to the Republican national con
ventions of 1EG4, 15G8, 1672, 167G and
1550 and was'elecled to the Forty-seventh
Congress In 1882.
It is a remarkable fact that after a
first retirement from Congress of a
dozen years, and a second one of fourteen
years, Mr. Van Horn is again a member
or that body, in which he was a repre
sentative three decades ago.
T IS regarded as a singular coincidence
by members of the House that the an
nouncement of John May's conviction
the management of t lie frauds by which
it is alleged Mr. Tarsney's election was
secured, shouM come on the very day that
Mr. Van Horn was given tlie seat.
The statement thai May had been found
guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary
ror a term of two years, was used by
Mr. Johnson or Indiana with telling ef
fect and seemed to constitute an unanswer
able argument.
May is a wealthy saloonkceiicr, who Is
said to have amassed a fortune of a quarter
million dollars by the perpetration of
similar frauds in the Fifth, Sixth, and
Seventh precincts of Kansas City, which
figure so conspicuously in the contest.

DIAMONDS DLSAl'l'EA-It.
Some Bin Gems tbe HUllmr Vluce of
Which Im Unknown.
One or the most mysterious things
about diamonds is the ease with which,
they can disappear. Two centuries ago.
Tavernier. a French jeweler, very fond of
travel, made hH way to the Ent. where
lie ingratiated himself in the favor of
most of Uie pnnee and iHtentates of India.
A connoisseur in diamnmls, he managed
to obtain views and personal exammanous
or the precious stones then in the treas
uries of rich monarch. He brought back
accounts of no less Uian seven dw moods
of great size, none Iea than 200 carats,
all or which he weighed and described with
an accuracy that gave evident e or the truth
of his statements.
Not one of these diamond has ever been
seen since, or course, it is easy to say
that Tavernier was romnnoing. and tba t the
huge gems existed only iu his imagination,
but iu the case of two or three Tavernler's
descriptions arc sustained by the testimony
of other experts, while Indian historians are
equally explicit concerning one or two
of the others.
With rcgnrd to the "Great Mogul,"
the largest of all .known diamonds, there
is abundance or tcsUmony as to size and
weight in addition to the statements of
Tavernier. It was a Goltotula gem, and
weighed 7S7 carats in the lough, though
much reduced by cutting.
It was the property of Vizier Mirgimola,
a vassal of tlie King of Golconda, who de
termined to have him assassinatedin order
to obtain the gem. But Mirgimola escaped
with his Jewels to Shah Jchan, at that time
the Great Mogul, who speedily learned of
the diamond, and intimated that it would
be a delicate and acceptable preent. Mir
gimola took the hint, the shah got the
gem. and, while it was in the treasury or
Aruugzelic, his successor, Tavernier ex
amined and weighed it.
It lias never been mentioned as seen by
any one since, and, whether it was hidden
before Nahir Shah captured Belhi, or
whether it was part of the spoils, is un
known. It may have icen divided into
a number of smaller gems, or it may be
now concealed in some fortress in India,
Tersia or Arabia, as was the crown of
Chasros ror 1.000 years , to reappear atsome
future time, when it is safe forthe owner
to display his wealth.
Children cry for It! What? Why,

THE CATHODE CAMERA.
The doctors have a camera, according to
the circular.
That takes all kinds ot aches and pains, zy
motic and tubercular;
It points the embolism out in its exact
locality;
It finds toe bullet to prevent the obvious
ratality.
It Is an Instrument which no
One places 'nrath the ban
The camera that's made to pho
Tograph the inner man.
It brings to view the broken bones of Chris
tian and Mahometter;
It's more than on a level with the clinical
thermometer;
It tak's a picture of the brains right
through the thickest cranium.
And muM-s i he spry neurologist smile like a
fresh geranium.
In brightest glorv e'er must glow
From here to Hindustan.
The camera that's made to pho
Tograph the inner man.
It shows with truth the grave results of
accidents so numerous;
The fracture of the ulna and the fracture of
the humerus;
TheJish boos in the diaphragm and all dis
eases mu-cular.
And germs or grim malaria that breed Jn
mists crepuscular.
Thcdoctorsnowmayjustlvcrow
In revelry to scan
The cambra that's made to pho-
Tograph the inner man.
The name or the inventor from the Obi to
the Raritan
Will soon beknown and he will be a medical
Samaritan
O'erwhomthespeciallsts will raveand phrase
abstruse-and clinical,
And place himrorali time upon Fame's very
highest plnnacle-
Bccause his fame must ever grow
Who hit upon a plan
To make a"camera to pho-
Tograph-Xhe Inner man.
