THE CUBAN TROUBLES.
The troubles In Cuba appear to be increasingin severity. They do not yet amount to any-thin? like civil nir. and it is not to be antici-pated that they will. But they do amount to aserious insurrection, in which there seems to bea combination of professional brigands in questof loot, of disappointed offlceseekers striving towin by awe what they failed to get by lawfulmeans, and of those professional revolutioniststo whom periodical uprisings are the verybreath of life. That the people of Cuba or auyconsiderable portion of them are behind themovement or sympathize with it does not ap-
.pear. Rut in so mercurial a country and one solong accustomed to insurrectionary movementsalmost anything may happen. Wherefore it isearnestly to be hoped that the insular govern-ment willpromptly put forth a strong hand and
L atone for being caught napping by suppressing*the revolt in a thorough manner.
There is no ground for sympathy in this coun-try with the insurgents, for there is not theslightest evidence of moral or civic principle intheir. campaign or of cause for their uprisingother than of the most selfish and sordid de-scription. Ifwe grant that the major motiveis not larcenous, but political, even then wemust regard it as aiming at the overthrow ofa government which has done uncommonly well,and which deserves uncommonly well of Cuba,and at replacing it with a government of untriedand unknown qualities, hut which, however virt-uous and competent, would be compromised inadvance by the lawless manner of its accession.Upon such an achievement this nation and the\u25a0world would look with decided suspicion anddisfavor, and upon what we must regard as afutile attempt at it they look with strong repro-bation.Iti*.of course, to be borne In mind, and en-
tirely without offence, that many of our Latin-American friends are revolutionists by heredityand tradition and training, and are naturallyprone to "rise." hs sparks are to flyupward. Inview of their antecedents, the chief wonder isthat they do not more frequently manifest theirInsurgent tendencies, and we must regard themas entitled to commendation and congratulationon the expedition with which they have solargely transformed their dispositions. It isalso gratifying and encouraging to observethat the relationship of the United States tothose, countries is exceedingly influential . forthe maintenance of peace and order. We do notmoau that fear of this country is, like the fearof lieil, "a hangman.-; whip, to keep the worldin order." But far more agreeable to note-there In arising among the intelligent and re*fleeting nwaass of the people in those countriesa resolution to liveupnot merely to the standarddesired, but to tue example set by the United~*>itcs—aiid by Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and

Wedding Kept Secret More Than a Month—Bride a Widow.
It became known yesterday that J. Q. A. Ward,
one of the oldest American sculptors, had beenmarried for more than a month, hi' bride beinghis former landlady. Mrs. Rachel M. OstranderSmith, the widow of an artist. Mr. Ward, who isseventy-six years old. takes his 'marriage, whichhas occasioned much comment among his friends,in a matter-of-fact way. The marriage was kepta secret. Mr. Ward says, to avoid notoriety.
The wedding took place July 19 at the CollegiateReformed Church, at West End avenue and 77thstreet, the Rev. Herman Webber officiating. AMiss Wilson and the sexton were the only wit-nesses.Mr. and Mrs. Ward have known each other for
about forty years, since she was about ten yearsold. She lived at Newburg then, and he at L'r-bana, Ohio. Mr. Ward has been twice married be-fore. His first wife died about seven years aftertheir marriage and his second wife lived a yearand a half only after marriage. Among the worksof Mr. Ward in this city are the statues of Wash-ington in Wall street, the Indian Hunter and thePilgrim in Central Park and the statue of HoraceGreeley in front of The Tribune Building.
Mrs. Ward, whose home has been at No. 31West 84th street, where Mr. Ward has boardedsince his wife moved to this city, had been awidow for nearly twenty years. She has a son.Raymond, an artist, livingin Chicago

ItRuined Him.—Quite recently into a railway car-riage at Oldham stepped a young man. fresh fromschool evidently, and wearing his Orst watch.
The very many proud glancea which he cast onthe gold chain raised a smile on the faces of hisfellow passengers.
Apparently by accident, though mischief mighthave been at the bot'om of It. the subject ofwatches was "brought on the carpet."
"Ah!" sighel an old farmer, giving the watchbark to the young man. who had handed It aroundfor the Inspection of the company, "that theerwatch 'minds me o' my own son."
"How's that?" asked several passengers."Why, 1 gave Mm a watch when 'c wur fifteen

The old and the new mingle inChina. The news-papers from the East tell of a Jail mutiny in Can-ton in which thirteen prisoners escaped. The au-thorities failed to capture them, but issued ordersthat all their relatives should be arrested and Im-prisoned until they could give information as to thehiding place of the escaped prisoners. But beforelong they were offered their freedom on conditionthat they paid 820© to the police. $130 for the chiefand $80 for the rank and file. The bargain wasclinched, the money paid, and the circumstancesduly chronic led as a news item in the native press.In Fatshan preparations were under way to cele-brate the birthday of their idol Saen Kal. But anopposition party arose. They urged that If themoney were to be spent at all. it had bet-ter be spent In cleaning up the drains Inthe neighborhood, since. If there should be any-thing in the Westers, theory of cleanliness, thecommunity would benefit more than by propitiatingSaen Kai. who did little to stay the plague, in spiteof the festivals In his honor. The opposition wonthe day. and the money Intended for Saen Kal wentto the drains.
A good story Is told of a beater on a grousedrive on a Yorkshire moor. He had observed theineffectual efforts of a soldier who shot a greatdeal but killed nothing. A solitary old grouse ap-proached his butt at a leisurely pace, giving thegunner ample time to miss with his first barrel.and after taking very deliberate aim with the sec-ond he allowed the bird to pursue his way un-scathed. "Now, draw your sword to him. Cap-tain!" the Yorkshireman encouragingly shouted.The gun was ineffective, and there seemed timeto repair the failure of hot lead with cold steel.

THE TALK OF THE DAT.
The Democratic campaign has begun with abrisk exhibition of pane smashing. How manyglass fronts* willbe left when the stone throwerswarm up a little with excitement and exercise?
The president of the NMsswgJ bsasjM w i= •>approved the protest of the New Tork stgft
against the forfeiting to Chicago of the base-
ball game of August 7. when the managonvn'. gj
the New Tork club forcibly excluded the regu-larly appointed umpire from the ground? hidoing so he will doubtless bo sustained by alllovers of decent sport. There are several evilsof the baseball field which need sharp and Im-
mediate correction. The bullying and Insulting
of umpires by members of the playing; clubsshould not be tolerated. The abuse of umpires
and of players by spectators is equally detest-able. The Brooklyn games have for some timebeen notorious for the latter evil. Every honesteffort to suppress such practices and restore
baseball to the honorable status of years ago Issure of hearty support.

THE SVLLIYAX"riSDICATIOW"
The Hon. William J. Bryan is a politicalmoralist. The Hon. Roger C. Sullivan is apolitical humorist. Humor and morals do notalways mix, and in the hand-to-hand encounterjust concluded in Illinois the humorist seemsto have triumphed and the moralist seems tohave been worsted. Mr. Sullivan's Idea ofhumor in politics is to profess one thing andpractise another. He Is not worried over pettyinconsistencies between logic and conduct, andcan smile indulgently at the ingenuousness ofcritics who iusist on squaring words with deedsand backing up opinions by action. As is wellknown. Colonel Bryan and Mr. Sullivan differabout a little matter of malversation. ColonelBry:«» holds that Mr. Sullivan is a receiver ofstolen goods— that his title as a member 'ofthe Democratic National Committee is tainted.Mr. Sullivan asserts, on the contrary, that thetitle in dispute is technically flawless, and that,though be may have profited to some extentby the "hold-up" engineered by the "reorgau-izers" at Springfield two years ago, all defectsand irregularities in his commission werecured when the Democratic National Conven-
tion seated the delegation which elected him.Colonel Bryan was convinced— as any disinter'ested student of the record will be convinced—that the Illinois State Convention of 1904 wascontrolled by trickery and violence, and atSt. Ixmis be made a passionate but unsuccess-ful appeal to the "conservative" majority not
to set the seal of its approval on a flagrant
exhibition of political larceny.
The Nebraska leader was in apogee then, andhis protests were fruitless. Now that be hasbeen rediscovered and rehaloized, he has setabout undoing the outrage committed at St.Louis. He lias publicly called on Mr. Sullivanto resign, and has announced that he does notcare for the support or indorsement of a statewilling to tolerate a receiver of stolen goodsas Its representative on the national commit-tee. Logic and self-respect should have com-pelled the Illinois Democrats to face the issueraised by Colonel Bryan. But the Peoria con-vention pusillanimously dodged it. A facing-both-wayg policy was decided on, and the Illi-nois Democracy elected to try to carry Bryan
on one shoulder and Sullivan on the other, just
as the Democracy is trying here to balanceJerome against Hearst, and in Massachusettsto balance Moran against Whitney.
Mr. Sullivan's friends easily controlled thestato convention. Yet, as we have said. Mr.Sullivan is a humorist, and he cheerfully in-
structed his followers to pass a resolution Inwhi'h the man who called him a receiver ofstolen goods and denounced him as unfit toassociate with honest Democrats was laudedas "fittest to lead In the fight to rescue our"gr.verr.nicnt from the hands of special inter-"ests and restore it to ail the people." Said Mr.Sullivan through his committee on resolutions:•*TUe th»« calls for a President of Bryan's
Mr. Jerome has taken the preliminary steps inhis demonstration. Like a brave man be issuesforth into the open. No one on this green earth,high or low. Republican or Democrat, politicalboss or newspaper satrap, shall deny him bis in-born right, his political liberty
—guaranteed to
him by the Constitution and the blood of themartyrs
—to hustle for the delegates. An ancient
political right, to curtail which is to subvert ourfree institutions, to make us something less thanmen. is thus grandly vindicated by Mr. Jerome.But he has no monopoly of this knightly enter-prise. Mr. Hearst, his deadly rival in thehatred of Mr. Murphy. Is several counties aheadof him In the exhibition of inherent politicalrights. Since Monday, however, no Insolentboss, grown great upon the meat of honestgraft, will have the hardihood to deny thatancient political liberty, the right to hustlefor delegates. To this end. then, the solemn"salvos, postulatums and preparatives."
THE POLITICAL LIBERTY ISSUE.
Mr. Jerome is back in that year of grace andverbiage 11*0,. Time loads him now!; the;-. Hespeaks, and we. live over again our yesterdays.It seems last fall. The joys and sorrows ofItwelvemonth may be forgotten in the ne-penthe of bis inexhaustible vocabulary. "Polit-ical panhandler" is new, but it belongs to lastOctober. Itis posthumous. Itconies a thought
-or a year, which is It?—too late. Where arethe fights of that halcyon and vociferous era?Right here, right on earth. The same armoredchampions of right clatter valiantly in theirpanoply. The dead are sitting up and taking
notice of the new thumps that are coming theirway. The same pair of heroes defend the en-
slaved people. The game villain gets what iscoming to him in the way of vituperation andcontracts. Mr. Jerome and Mr. Hearst shoutto him a synchronous and homologous defiance.It is yesteryear. Then "bartender of Good
Ground" and "Where did he get it" were thecommon language of these two champions. WithJerome gas the Hearst balloon was inflated.Both baited the bosses. Both were, are and evermore willbe going to put Mr. Murphy down.
The Tammany leader has his preference, tobe sure, betwixt his Immolators, but that ishis affair. Both are "Independents." Both arefighting for "political liberty." It was lastyear's issue with Mr. Jerome, and by it Mr.Hearst profited as much as anybody. Can theunfathomed resources of the District Attorney'svocabulary revitalize It? Last year he was aquasi-Judicial officer, to whom the bosses re-
fused a renomination because of his politi-cal fractiousness. He went before the peo-ple and told them they could choose their
own District Attorney, not restricted to the can-didates offered to them by parties in conventionassembled. There was then a public desire for
his continuance in office. He appealed to thepopular imagination as a solitary figure pittedagainst a powerful organization. There was gen-
eral Indignation that a semi-judicial officer who
bad served creditably should be punished for hisindependence. To-day who is punishing him for
his faithfulness to his trust r-d to the peopleby refusing him a nomination for Governor?What boss shall he flout Ifhe falls of the Buf-falo nomination? What boss shall be excoriateIfbe gets it? Shall he run alone and cry outthat both parties should have named him forGovernor, and will be find the voters ready to
believe him, as they were when he said heshould have received a non-partisan nominationfor District Attorney last November?
Who is the Charlie Murphy of the Democracy
of the state who holds the fate of the ambitiousin the hollow of his hand, and to revolt against
whom is to give a magnificent demonstration ofthe great issue of personal liberty In politics?
Neither brains nor brute force leads the stateDemocracy ;Itneither follows the persuasion ofshrewd political sense nor troops to the crackingof a whip. Itdoes not know "where ItIs at"
—whether a month hence it willbe radical or re-actionary, whether itwill then believe In follow-ing the ancient traditions of the Republic or Iningrafting upon our government the untried de-vices of experimental socialism.

It was reported lnst spriu« that three menconnected with the South Kensington Museumin I>>nAon bad anticipated the Italian prince inthe conquest of Kuweuzorl. The statement hadan element of truth Init,but was not altogether
correct The particular peak the top of wbfchthey attained (Klyanja) is, a«-cordiug to theirown account, only K379 feet high. The Eng-
lishmen also gay that until the last moment theybelieved they were attacking: the loftiest moun-tain in the chain, but Übat tluor discovered when
MOUXT MARGHERITA.Futly two months have elapsed since the Duke
of the Abruzzi won his freshest laurels as anexplorer, but only within a few days has adetailed account of his achievements in CentralAfrica become available for scrutiny. 'Hence itIs now possible for the first time to dispel severaluncertainties which have existed since the suc-cess of the Italian was briefly announced bycable. t
Geographers will be glad to learn that theheight of the loftiest peak in the Ruwenzorlrange is determined beyond a doubt by baro-metric measurement, and is no longer a matterof guesswork, however shrewd. This summit,which in honor of the Queen Dowager of Italyhas been named Marglierita. rises to an ele-vation of 18.220 feet, and is. therefore, one hun-dred feet higher than Mount St. Elias. whichthe Duke of tin* Abruzzi ascended in 1897. Thedifficulties of mountain climbing are not. ofcourse, exactly proportionate to height abovesea level, but "on the face of the returns" theperformance of uinc years ago has now beensurpassed.
Again, something besides low prices will befound to be essential to an extensive indus-trial use of alcohol. Many of those who willbe benefited by the now resource which is tobe put at their disposal have something stillto learn about it. "The Industrial World
"com-
mented at length a few weeks ago on the factthat the pver the alcohol the lower the tem-perature at which it willvaporize and explode
in the cylinder of a gas engine That i>eriodi-cal pointed out that a novice might get disap-pointing results with a low grade of fluid,
whereas a better quality would gire him pre-cisely the service he desired. This is only one
instance amoug a uumlter which mi^ht be citedto show that consumers must study how to
make the most of their coveted opportunities.Finally, it is probable that the manufacturers
of certain classes of machinery, notably gns
engines, will find it desirable to make somemodifications in their products to insure thehighest efficiency with alcohoi. Very likely they
are studying the question now. but until theyannounce the outcome of their investigations
prudent persons will hesitate to make pur-chases.
The cautious tone which Mr. Yerkes adoptsIn discussing this matter is to be commended.American Ingenuity and energy justify the expectation that after a few years the UnitedStates will afford an example to other coun-tries which will be extremely influential, butit would be a mistake to look for a sudden andvast revolution in the immediate future. Onereason for entertaining modest hopes at theoutset is that the utilization of alcohol abroadhas not yet taken place on a great scale. An-
other and more important consideration is {batno one can now say an; thing definite about theprices which will prevail here during the firstfew mouths after the new law has gone intoeffect. When once it is evident— as we believeit will be In the course of a year or two— thatalcohol can compete on even terms with gaso-lene, there should be a large demand for itbut no one to-day can supply market quota-tions for next January.
PREPARING FOR CHEAP ALCOHOL.
The United States Commissioner of InternalRevenue, who has just returned from Europe,declares that denatured alcohol not yetsupplanted gasolene there. The only automo-biles which were propelled by spirits, so faras his observation went, were in Germany.Nevertheless, he appears to be confident thatin time this country will be in a position toteach the world a good deal about the possi-ble uses of alcohol.
Mr. Root's visit to Chili will l>e accomplishedunder widely different clrcumstauces from thosewhich were a few days ago expected. But itwill be no less interesting to both nations, if,indeed, it does not lead to closer relations anda stronger bond of friendship than could havebeen foreseen. Itwillbe Mr. Root's privilege to
bear in person a message of heartfelt sympathy
and to receive the confident assurance that Chiliis supporting her misfortune with no less forti-tude and recuperative energy than our own peo-ple liave displayed in the face of a similar dis-aster.
MR. ROOTS VISIT TO CHILI.
Tracing in reverse the historic course of theOregon, the Secretary of State has now leftArgentina for Chili. To this stage of bis prog-
ress a peculiar interest is attached. Those twosouthernmost republics of the continent, lying
side by side and enjoying intimate social andcommercial relationships, while topographicallystrongly contrasted, have inmany respects been
much alike. Each has been likened to our owncountry. Argentina being called the United
States of South America, and the people of Chili,
because of their energy, enterprise and progress,being called the Yankees of South America-phrases which we are glad to recognize as com-plimentary to us, as well as to them. The great
cities of each have been marked with a cultureand an opulent splendor comparable with thoseof any of the world's capitals, and a degree ofcivic stability and integrity hns been attained byboth, entitling them to assured places among theimportant powers of the world.
In such a happy condition and amid joyous*
anticipations of the coming celebration of hercentenary, Mr. Root leaves Argentina. A weekago be would have found Chili in a like pros-perous condition. As Itis. he will find the west-ern republic inmourning, her palaces laid waste,her marts of commerce desolated, her peoplestricken with losses, wounds and death, through
such a calamity as seldom comes to any land,though such as we ourselves have recently suf-fered. The contrast between Buenos Ayres andValparaiso will be striking and distressful. Itmay be that these unhappy conditions willcausea change of plans. A house of mourning is nota house of entertainment. That, however, willdoubtless be as the Chilians themselves wishand prescribe.
bonesty. sincerity, and political philosophy."
But when the .Nebraska leader actually at-tempted to demonstrate bis sincerity and put
his philosophy Vinto practice. Mr. Sullivan amiill*Illinois Dmocrats could not hear. time call-
ing. Tlioy wen- willing'to talec as much Bryau-
istic philosophy as was necessary in the ab-stract,-but bolted at tlie Idea of baring it lo-cally applied.
Itis .to be regretted that Colonel Bryan failedillIns effort to discipline Mr. Sullivan. It isgreatly to the Nebraska statesman's credit that
be raised the tainted title issue. We have been
too lax about condoning successful politicalfrauds. Because property rights are not di-rectly .involved we are disposed to leave thebeneficiaries of wrongdoing at the polls or in
conventions undisturbed. It is a wholesomething to go behind the official record some-times, as Colonel Bryan did in this case, and
to pillory the holder of an office or dignity im-properly earned. Mr. Sullivan's retort to Colo-
nel Bryan's attack is to praise him for his"honesty, sincerity and philosophy." But every
politician is not so armor plated in cynicism
as the Illinois national committeeman, andmuch can be done by courageous and outspoken
criticism to lessen the enjoyment of power inpolitics acquired by force and fraud.
