inhabitants are in the most abject po-
litical seryitude. They have not the
smallest share in the government; and
dare not meddle in the management of
their own affairs" Blessed with large
fortune, they send their sons and
daughters to the schools of Paris and
New York to receive the highest ed
ucation, and see them return to their
country, enlightened by education and
travel, to succeed to their own political
and social vassalage. No wonder they
are discontented and angry. No won-
der that they hate the vile tyranny
which degrades and robs them.
The proud blood of Spain flowing in
the veins of the Colonists has often
glowed at all these injuries. They
cannot comprehend why their glorious
island should be "pelting province"
to distant and tyrannical government.
They think, oh, monstrous audacity,
that the dominion of their country
should rest in themselves. And so for
twenty years they have speculated on
"repealing the Union" by the moral
force of their strong right~arms. From
Havana, Santiago, and Trinidad. to
the Copper Mountains, "Young Cuba"
has been propagating revolutionary
doctrines: and preparing to snap the
golden link of the Crown.
In 1887 they asked England to
guarantee her protection and they
would proclaim their independence
and abolish the slave traffic. But Eng
land, the hypocrite, talked of interna-
tional treaties and the rights of prop-
erty, and took to scourging and plum
dering her own Cuba, he arer at home.
And so Cuba looked about her for an
ally, and she has found a right sturdy
one at last. She has given her heart
and soul to America. And soon the
Lone Star will burn in the constellation
of the States.
Cuba tried a chance year ago, and
failed. She had her "'48" in Fifty
One when Lopez, the brave and hap
less, had his neck broken in her cause.
She looks to 'surer sources" this
time. 1t is no petty piracy that she
hopes in. A great organization, which
includes, besides the fifteen thousand
American volunteers who are armed
in her battle, the leading citizens of her
own land, and is consecrated by the
blessings and prayers of her whole
population, has undertaken her deliv-
erance.
"Where there's will there's way"
says venerable proverb, and neither
America nor Cuba want that will.
Washington will not hesitate on ac-
count of the menaces of Madrid.
England is Mortified at the greedy
appetite of America. She groans over
this piracy in the caribbean seas
and looks anxiously at Jamaica, fear
ing that it will be also annexed (and if
it were worth it it mighty Mexico,
it is plain, will speedily fall into the lap
of the States. Canada is ripe and
loose on the branch. Jonathan Wild
is shocked. He has only helped him.
