san DOMINGO

The following extract from the speech
OF the Honorable Carl Shurz of Missouri,
delivered in the Senate of the United
States in opposition to the annexation of
San Domingo shows that there is a strong
feeling against that project in the minds
of some, The commissioners will prob.
ably give Us more light upon the subject.
President Grant is no doubt honest in
his desire for annexation and has said,
that he wishes the fullest investigation
into the merits of the case possible.
=" Now, sir, | am, for arguments sake,
willing to grant all the good things that
are said about the people of SanDomingo.
They are described TO us as the most
peaceful pastoral race in the world; a
people who, like Paul and Virginia, lead
an innocent, child like existance peace
ful, harmless, hospitable, honest, coniid-
ing, and just ready to drop into our arms
as children wonld drop into the arms OF
their mother. | say am willing to grant
that for Arguments sake, although the
history Of those people which lies open
before our eyes-a history ofinterminable
aud bloody civil feuds, of murder and
observation-disclosures In rather striking
contrast to this poetic description. Still
! WIN let the senator from Indiana have
the full benefit Of all the magnificent
things which he has been telling us about
the people Of that island. | will not even
