SpauisA Proposition to Transfer Gu
Hi 10 France in 1890.


That i'Cuba will eventually be ours
is sentiment rapidly becoming uni
yersal. The conservative wing press
of the north speaksof this as a fixed
fact. Nowhere does it seem TO be
denied OR depfeciated except 4by a
few of the late Scott papers of the
South. Even the New York Cou-
rier and Enquirer, while it denies
that here is any considerable por-
ton d the Al nerican people who
cherish flli5usterfng sentiments ofiac-
quisiti On towards Cuba, says:
ecu a will eve ntually become ours;
such Undoubtedly is the popular feel
ing But in this feeling there is
nothing blamewprthy. 1t does not
spring from the covetous spirit, but
from the clear understanding 1t is
seen that causes over which we have
no control, will sooner or later sun
der Cuba from Spain, and that this
separation, by necessity, must result
in its junction to 0 or own country
The Spanish ma tic 10 is too weak, too
deficient in strength and judgment,
to retain her hold much longer upon

itself that its te nu re is precarious.--

Forei gn Departm ent-tbat so long

priseq Of the negotiation put an end
10 it, before it had reached maturity.
This insecurity arises partially IN

Democratic State Convention,

Last week, we made allusion to
this subject, and suggested the 18th
of April, as the proper time for that
body to assemble. Since then, the
Nashville American, suggests the
'lst of May as the most suitable date
for its assemblage. Either of these
dates will suit the democracy in old
Lincoln, and, we should thi ak, vii
give ample time for the party in all
the counties Of the State to hold pri-
mary meetings, appoint delegates
and allow them to arrive in Nash
vile, in time TO participate in the
nomination. Besides, as we before
said, the roads at that tim Of the
year are usually in good or er;;- the
party throughout the State will then
have had a breathing spell in " hich
to "gird up its loins," preparatory
TO entering busy canvass, How
ever, the time is Of small import
the man selected, and the energy
and perseverance, of the party, hold
tbe scales Of success. During the
ensuing canvass, we may expect as
stern and Diet ermined a struggle as
we have eve had in this State. We

that's certain. The wings,
although defeated in the Union by a
majority uneq ualled since the time
.swhereof the memory Of man run

no efforts in maintaining their ascen.
dancy in Tennessee. All, or nearly
all, depends upon the selection of oul
candidate. With some men, success
appears to follow asa legitimate con-
sequence; while with others, defeat
appears to brood over every thing
they undertake. With man who
can command the democratic strength
enthusiastically, and thus "set all
bands to work." the result is not
very prob ematical. We would stand
a chance, and good one, too, for
success, with any man whose name
is at all likely to be presented but
of course, some are stronger than
Others -and hundred votes may
