Gov. Allen, of Porto Rico, reports
that the prospects of that island are
very encouraging. Such knowledge as

not been a brilliant success. The situ-

It seems that the Rev. Dr. Jacob
Schlegel of New York is suffering from
the cruel tooth of remorse and conse
quently is niuoli distressed in mind and
soul. He has performed the marriage
ceremony no less than three thousand
times, and is saddened by the thought
that he has beou an agont for the pro
motion of the unhappiness of six thou
sand people. He declares that close ob
servation bas convinced him that mar
riage is a failure, and that a young
man who gets married is only one or
two degrees removed from an absolute
idiot. The reverend gentleman makes
the rather startling statement that the
cause of marital misery is the girls,
nine-tenths of whom have no ideas
above frills, furbelows and shirt
waists. ’The girls,"he says,“I do not
like them. They will insist on having
so much. If their hnsands make $10 a
week they want a hired girl!"
The women, ot course, will denounce
the Rev. Dr. Schlegel as a slanderous
old monster, or something else equally
as vile, but there is some truth in what
he says. He is wrong, however, in
placing the responsibility for marital
infelicity exclusively upon the girls.
When a young woman marries n poor
young man she does not think of the
struggle that is ahead of them to make
both ends meet and provide food,cloth
ing and shoes for the little Willies and
Nellies who are soon to pul in an ap
pearance, but is happy in the contem
plation of the paragon that is going to
be hers—her very own dear hubby. She
pictures him as the handsome, brave
generons and devoted Reginald de
Montmorency, the hero of her favorite
novel, and for a time there is a regular
honey and dovev lifo in the little cot
tage, with a lonesome vine struggling
along the railing of the porch.
But as the months come and go she
begins to realize that her paragon is not
what she pictured him to be. He is not
the same as when they used to coo at
each other in the hammock and utter
long drawn signs in the moonlight. He
has fallen into the habit of coming
home in the evening and bringing with
him the aroma of sour beer and bar
room sausage. He does not dawdle her
on his knee and call her sweet little
gnmdrop and other pet names suggest
ive of articles dispensed by confection
era, but on tbe contrary be finds fault
with anything and everything Bhedoos
The result is frequent quarrels and
mutual reproaches. Cupid, disgusted
with his own job,pins on his wings and
Hies away to make still other people
miserable.
Bat there uro some married people
whose life is one long sweet peom set
to mandoline music and who become
more devoted to each other os they
grow older and age whitens their hair,
therefore Parson Schlegel is very much
off his base when he says the only
really happy people are those who have
not permitted themselves to be inveig
led into the matrimonial net. Mam
age may be a failure in many instances,
but not in all cases, Parson Schlegel to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Some of onr Eastern brethren who are
losing sleep over this country’s attitude
toward Cuba seem to think that that
island is full of American soldiers. As a
matter of fact the American“army of oc
cupation" in Cuba is au army iu Eimo
only. Tho are only about 5,000 troops
iu the island, which is COO miles long
and as large as Tennessee.There are four
troops of the Second Cavalry at Matan-
zas and four at Pasa Caballas; four
troops of the Fourth Cavalry at Puerto
Principe, one at San Luis and one at
Guantanamo; four troops of the Tenth
Cavalry at Manzanillo, and four at
Holgnin. At Havana there are station-
the Seventh Cavalry, eight companies
of coast artillery and one battery of
field artillery. All of the iDfantry have
been withdrawn from the island. Hav
ana, Matanzas and Holguin are on the
northern coast; Guantanamo, Manzan
illo and Puerto Principe are on or near
the sonthern coast. Ia Santiago pro
vince there are only 1,100 American
soldiers. While there are few troops
in Cuba, their presence has a strong
moral effect. It will be or ought to be
a long time before they ore withdrawn.
If more troops aro needed we can put
them there iu short order.—Nashville
