Our Duty to the Cubans.
It is still open to the Senate to re-
cover some of its hold upon the respect
and confidence of the country by tak-
ing, and taking promptly, a course of
courageous, humane, and enlightened
action with reference to Cuba. Al-
though it appears that legislation for
the rescue of our own country is to be
suspended while one Senator “twits”
somebody, and while another Senator
puts somebody else in a hole, and while
Senators generally make faces at each
other and gloat over the hated foe’s
predicament, is no reason why Sena
tors of all classes and factions should
not unite as civilized Christians in the
performance of an act of simple decen-
cy and mercy. I
It does not seem to us that our duty
in this connection can be discharged by
passing resolutions of “sympathy” or
“recognition.” Such utterances are
mere sound and fury, signifying noth-
They will neither help the Cuban
patriots nor testify to our own rectitude
and good feeling. They may irritate
Spain, and, if that] be possible, add
something to the cruelty of Spain’s
treatment of the insurgents, but they
will do no good in any direction, and
lag.
they will reflect at once upon our can-
What the
Cubans need, and what we owe it to
ourselves to give them, is help in their
dor and our Christianity.
noble and pathetic struggle for inde-
pendence. What duty, self-respect,
morality, and religion urge upon us is
a practiCal intervention that will erase
this foul blot of blood and barbarism
from the escurcheon of the western
hemisphere. We Cannot salve our
conscience or put away our obligations
by cowardly and hypocritical phrases
that mean nothing. We must forbid
this outrage upon humanity and civi-
lfzrtion or stand convicted oflconniv-
ance in the mostifihideous horror :that
has disgraced andjshocked warm-tin?
In his speech in the Senate on the Cu-
ban resolution, Mr. Morgan said the
atrocities of the Spanish forces in con-
trolling the Cubans were almost with-
out parallel in history. In the last war,
not only had 13,000 Cubans been killed
in battle, but 44,000 prisoners had been
put to death. It was a most shocking
holocaust. The Senator said he had
paused in wonderment to think the Uni-
ted States had stood silently by at this
awful slaughter of 44,000 prisoners, in-
stead of moving, sWord in hand, and
driving the Spaniards from the island.
Bicycling and Accidents.
Simultaneously with the assembling
of the national convention of wheelmen
in Baltimore, last week, there. was a
conlerence, in Boston, of the managers
of the mutual accident insurance com-
panies of the United Satets; and the
latter transacted business quite as in-
teresting to bicyclers as the proceed-
ings of the former. After considerable
deliberation the
adopted a declaration that bicycling is
“a haZirdous occupation,” and hence-
forth is not to be included in accident
policies, except at double rates, or at a
reduced indemnity
which amounts to the same thing.
correspondingly
We do not know What, if any, statis-
tics bearing on this subject have been
collected, but it is reasonable to assume
that the companies have not taken this
They are in the
accident insurance business for the
money there is in it. “I‘he lamp of
experience,” as shown by statistics and
their own books, is their guide. It is
altogether probable that they have
found it unprofitable to insure bicy-
action impulsively.
piers at the rates charged to persons in
non-hazardous occupations.
There is a disposition in various quar-
ters to complain of this change as an
unfair discrimination. It is asserted
twill bicycling is as safe as walking or
oil‘iVlug and safer than cquestrianism.
We do not know that this assertion is
untrue, but we feel quite certain that
walking, riding and driving are not im-
proved in safety by the presence of the
b.cycle on streets and roads. The dan-
gers, however, have been greatly de-
creased by experience and the adoption
of judiciousregulations. The new de-
insurance oflicials'
vices in bicycles are much safer for
their riders “and the rest of mankind”
than the old ones were. The chances
are that, in a few years, almost com-
plete immunity from accidents will be
attained. .
As the bicycle has come to lstay, and
is undoubtedly destined to come into
greatly increased use, there can be no
doubt that every possible effort will be
made by inventors, manufacturers and
users of the wheel to reduce tie liabili-
ty to accidents. _
Meanwhile the wheelmen, if they
want insurance and object to the rates
imposed by the Companies represented
at the Boston meeting, can readily avoid
what they regard as an injustice.
There are enough of them to. form a
mammoth mutual company of their
own, and among them are thousands of
shrewd business men. If the claim
that bicycling is not haZerous be true,
such a company could be made to
prosper. '
Mesmerism.
A large audience greeted Prof. Rey-

full house as his entertainments are

At a meeting of the Board of Directors
, of the Fairfield County Savings Bank
held March 9, 1896, the following Reso-
lutions on the death of the Treasurer of.
the Bank were unanimously adopted:
The Directors of the Fairfield Coun-
ty Savtngs Bank desire to express a
deep sense of their personal loss, in the
death of MR. JAMES H. BAILEY, and to
pay a sincere tribute to his memorv.
Meeting with them 'in his official
capacity, at the last Board gathering,
but as yesterday, they cannot fully
realize that the shadows have length-
ened over hispath, and that his life,
not yet having reached its zenith, has
gone out forever.
Acting as treasurer and secretary of
this bank, during the last eight years,
MR. BAILEY brought to it an enthusi-
asm and energy, which, complemented
by his large business qualifications
have been essential factors in produc-
ing its present prosperity and success.
By the accuracy of his statements,
the Carefulness of his methods, the
thorough acquaintance of every requis:
ite detail,the maturity of his judgment,
the conscientious fulfilment of his duties
his proven ability and his personal in-
tegrity, he Won the confidence and
trust as well as the reliance of this
Board. ' - .
But, beyond his official capacity,they
recognized in him those other sterling
qualities, which made him “all in all a
man.”
Courteous in his manner, affable in
his address, considerate in his bearing,
obliging in disposition, positive, yet
not aggressive in his opinion, firm in
his convictions of the right, loyal to his
sense of truth, pure in his motive, up-
right in his action, guiding his life upon
the higher plane, as the truth was
given him to see, he won the regard,
esteem and affection of his fel-low-men.
He encompassed himself ' With many
friends; he made no enemies. The
measure of his life is not in years, but
in exalting and perfecting of character.
He leaves with us the cherished mem-
ory of his example.
We extend to his wife and family our
heartfelt sympathy in their sorrow and
affliction. With them we mourn, reali-
zmg the loss. To them we commend
the heritage of his life, and for them
invoke the care of “Him who doeth all
things well.” .
