Campos was apparently recalled from
Cuba because he was not cruel enough
in his system of waging war. The new
captain general. Valet-inns Weyler, is so

During the last rebellion he Was sent to

mander of the Spanish army, are true,
then the red Indian scarcely exceeds him
in barbarous methods of conducting
Warfare. But perhaps this very severity
and crueltywill bring Cuba’s freedom '

to make other nations accord the patriots
belligerent rights.

Children of the Revolution.
This is the name of a very admirable
society organized by Mrs. Margaret Sid-
ney Lothrop of Boston. It is an organi-
zation of children and young people un
der ago. Its object is to foster loveot
country and to familiarise its membm
with American history and preserve
places and objects made famous by their
connection with events in the "arid!
the republic.
Too much cannot be said in praise oi
this organization or of the motives
which prompted its establishment.
There is only one thing to be urged
against the society, and that is the
ironclad narrowucss of its membership.
To it may belong only those descended
from "patriotic ancestors who helped it
plant or to perpetuate this ccuntry in
the colonies or in the Revolutionary
war or in any other way." Whether thh
may include the descendants of men
who fought in the war of 1111s or in tht
civil war is not plain. , .
But one thing is certain. The youth-
ful patriots' society ought to be en.
lurged, so that every child under age in
this country may belong to it and get
its benefits. Those who need such an
organization must of all are the children
of foreign parents. If these were ad-
mitted as members and taught pa-
triotism and American history along
with the rest, the organization‘s useful-
ness would be multiplied n hundredfold.

The plan of introducing reindeer in
large numbers into Alaska has much tc
he said in its favor. Reindeer can live
the year around on the moss which
grows so abundantly in Alaska in tin
desolate cold regions where nothing else
will germinate. The reindeer w ill for
11ish both food and clothing to the nu-
tives of Alaska and to the miners w he
continue to flock there in great 11am-
hers. Commissioner of Education
Harris points out in the New York Sun
that the destruction of ' the seal herds
will take, away the chief part
the revenue we derive from Alaska
and throw the territory a (load expense
on our hands. Professor Harris would
have congress make an appropriation
large enough to bring from Lapland at
one time a herd of 5, 000 of the arctir
deer, bringing along Laplanders enough
to teach the missionaries how to care for
,‘them. A herd of reindeer increases 5!:
per cent a year. "As a source 11f profit
Professor Harris thinks the reindeer
might in time take the place of the seals.
They not only give food and clothing,
but also a safe and comparatively rapid
means of traveling over the country.
