THE CUBAN QUESTION

Circumstances alter cases. Hereto
fore we have had but little commercial
relations with South America, and
that little has been by way of Europe
and a long extended triangular sea
voyage. Reciprocity viii many times
double the trade aud many times
shorten the sea line to South America.
East and west lines will no longer be
the natural course OF our commerce,
and north and south lines must neces-
sarily very largely increase. Cuba lies
in the path of the new commerce, and
many more OF our citizens will 60
there and engage in business. As a
way-station, Cuba will be of great i'm
portance to the United States, and as
military outpost it will become almost
a necessity.
-
The st. Joseph Herald, in a strong
editorial on the subject, makes the
following statement; while slavery
existed its opponents were opposed TO
annexing Cuba, because it would add
slave territory, and being a slave coun-
try, great producer of sugar, and
having a tropical climate it would
have greatly aided the cause Of slavery
in the United States. But slavery has
been abolished both ia Cata and the
United States, and that which was an
argument against annexing Cuba has
become an argument for annexation.
-.
I'VE need the products of Cuba, all
of them, and those products will not
compete with any product OF the
United States. Canadian products
would compete with ours, aud so long
as we uphold a protective tariff we
can have no commercial union with
Canada. We are seeking CONNER
cial union with Cuba by way of reci-
procal trade, and that commercial
union win be very favorable to a po-
litical union
"a ship canal across Central Amer
lea is a necessity and il will be made.
and when that is completed the Gulf
of Mexico will become what the Hedi-
terranean sea has been, and as Spain
is losing power, and will probably not
be able to much longer hold Cuba, all
the great nations Of Europe will be-
come greatly interested in acquiring
possession OF the West India islands
that form the seaside boundary to the
Gulf OF Mexico, and as the Monroe
doctrine, so popular in our country,
will not permit Cuba to pass to any
other nation, the United States will
necessarily be compelled 10 purchase
the island In order TO keep it from
falling into the hands of other coun-
tries
president Grant and Fred Douglass
would have succeeded in acquiring
Santo Domingo had not Sumner quar-
relied with Grant about it and stub
bornly fought the scheme In executive
sessions OF the senate. Douglass de-
clared that the island would sustain
: 900. 900 Of coIored people in addition
TO its native population, but Sumner
opposed giving our colored people an
opportunity to live in country occu-

1.-The experiments of cOlonizing the
negroes i'm northern states have about
run their course and their unpr0fita-
bleness is becoming apparent to all.
The natural climate of the negro is
further south and their restlessness
in several of the southern states shows
plainly that they have begun to drift
and wander away without knowing
what is before them. The rich
islands along our southern borders
will make splendid homes for them,
and although they should stay where
they are or go elsewhere as they may
freely choose, if we owned some of
these southern Islands they would
have the same inducements for emf
grating south that our own people
have for emigrating west"

pied by their own people. when Fred
Douglass or some other of their able
men could execute their laws as gov
ernor or represent them in congress.
Cuba offers us another opportunity
very similar to that which President
Grant desired to take advantage Of
and if that island was owned by the
United States, its unoccupied land
could be given to our colored people
who might desire to emigrate there
instead Of coming north to the hot,
bleak sands Of Oklahoma"

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR BEG0ARs
Singular Profession of siEhtiess Russiss
Peasant

Singular Profession of sighttess Russian
Peasant
A Riev (Russia) correspondent describes
IN interesting family Of blind peasants
living In the suburbs of Percy sslav. The
head Of the family is stron and healthy
man, forty-six years of age, blind for the
last twenty years, named Semen RSmsic
His wife is also blind. They have one
child. boy about six years old, and
maintain the mother OF Semen and the
aged father Of his wife. The old people
do only the homework, while Semen
himself supports the whole family. He
can do many kinds Of work. He chops
wood, weaves baskets and straw hats,
works IS cooper, winds ropes and con-
structs Tyres" on which blind Russian
bsggars play when they walk about beg
ging in the streets.
All these kinds of labor Semen per-
forms very sknfully, though in a print
tive fashion. But he works at such
trades only in the winter months and
when orders are sent to his house. His
practical occupation is training blind
beggars He takes into his house blind
young fellows who wish to become pro-
fessional beggsrs and teaches them how
to ply their trade" Such pupils must
engage themselves to stay with him for
two or three years and to hand over to
him all that they get by begging in the
streets during that time.
He engages young boys to leadVhis
pupils about according to his directions,
and pays them twelve roubles a year, be-
sides their board and lodging. His pupils
he teaches popular tunes and songs, which
the plaintive hymns which they sing at
the gates of the churches, and also teaches
them how to play or accompany them
selves on the beggar's Tyre. He derives
quite an income from his pupils. During
the day time he sends them out to beg in
various directions, and they bring him
coins, bags Of vituals, old garments,
towels, handkerchiefs and whatever they
get. What can be used In the establish
mont In given to the old couple who keep
house for him; the remaining victusls
are sold as food for cattle in the village
and the old garments to rag peddlers.
And mono OF the peasants or peddlers
who come to buy Semen's goods can take
advantage Of him, for despite his blind
meas, he knows we'll what wares are
worth. When there is fair in town he
goes ont begging himself and in the
holiday seasons he makes begging trips
to suburban towns and villages. The
rest Of the time he is 1T home instructing
his pupils and filling orders for his me-
chanical work
