THE GOLDEN CORN.
BY EDxA DEAN PROCTOR.

By EDSA DEAN PROCTOR.
The rose may bloom for old England,
The lily for France unfold;
ireland may honor her shamrock,
Scotland the thistle bold;
But the shield of the great Republic.
The glory of the West.
Shall bear stalk of tasselled corn,
ofall our wealth the best.
The arbutus and the golden rod
The heart of the North may cheer.
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
It's royal clusters rear:
The jasmine aud magnolia
The crest of the South adorn,
But the wide Republics emblem
Is the bounteous. golden corn.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT Cuba,

Recent advices from Cuba indicate
ing up In that land in favor of annexa-
ton to the United States. A staff cOrre-
spondent of the New York Tribune,
who has been spending some time in
Cuba, writes that he finds public sentl.
ment among the intelligent classes on
the island is almost unanimous in favor
of annexation. Cuba is growing very
tired of her vassalage to Spain. 1t is a
connection that brings her no strength,
no trade and no good of any kind. while,
IN the other hand, it brings taxes. tax
gatherers, and burdens of various kinds.
Intelligent Cubans see that their COM
mercial interests are bound up In those
of the United States, and they are en-
tirely willing to make their political in
terests identical. The great advantage
they have derived under the reciprocity
arrangement, which Spain was forced
to make by skillful management on our
nection, and has given a distinct i'm
petus to the growth of the annexation
sentiment. 1t la quite within the possi-
bilities that before many years have
passed Cuba will be asking the United
States to establish a protectOrate over
the island or admit it into the Union.
Aside from its commercial value,
which would be very great, Cuba would
be of inestimable value as q point of
defense of the interoceanic canal across
the Isthmus of Darien which the United
States will, sooner or later, own or con-
troll. When that waterway is opened,
as it will he before many years, the Pa
citic. the gulf and the Atlantic seaboards
will practically command them all. The
government that controls and fOrtifies
that island will control the approaches
TO the isthmian canal, and virtually
the canal itself. Forty years ago. when
Edward Everett was Secretary of State.
he said in one of his state papers: Cuba
lies at our doors. 1t commands the ap-
proach to the Gulf of Mexico, which
washes the shores of five of our States.
1t bars the entrance to that great river
which drains half the North American
continent" At that time an inter-
oceanic canal had not been thought of,
but now it is an assured fact, and it may
be added that Cuba will command the
approach to that. England sees this
very clearly. and is trying to negotiate
acommercial treaty with Spain by which,
in consideration of a loan of $500. 600. 600,
she will be granted a fOothold in Cuba
that will end in her establishing q pro.
tectorate over the island. In such mat
tiers this country is at the disadvantage of
having no continuous foreign policy. We

well administered as it might be, and
we are not yet entirely free from ring
rule and partisan influence in municipal
affairs. but this is the fault of those who
are administering the government. AS
a form of government it is one of the
very best. The concentration of all ex-
ecutive power in the hands of the
Mayor, the executive head of the city.
and its distribution among departmental
boards appointed by and responsible to
him, and through him to the people, is
the ideal form of municipal government.
Its practical operation in this city has
been such as to fully vindicate the prin-
ciple. and nothing would induce the
people to go back to the old form. The
State would be greatly the gamer in the
way of efficient city government and
political reform if every city in the
State of 10000 population and more
could have q charter like that of this
city. The Legislature can rest assured
that whatever opposition there is in any
quarter to the adoption of such a char
ter comes from interested motives, either
personal or partisan, and is not based on
a correct understanding Of the princi-
pies of municipal government.

THE POPULIsT sWIEDLE IN CLOSE STATES.

-
The organization of the legislatures in
States where the alleged Populists held
tho balance of power should afford
timely information for Republicans
and those who voted the Populist
ticket under the impression that
it was to be a party which would
hold itself aloof from the old parties.
In Montana, the first day, the Re.
publican members of the House elected
q Populist for temporary chairman, but
when it came to regular organization
the three Populist members voted with
the Democrats. In Nebraska the Demo-
Gratis had only q handful of members,
but they voted with the Popuiists in the
House and elected the Populist candi-
date for Speaker. In the Oregon Sem
ate, the Democrats and POpulists united
on a ticket and elected it. In Colorado
cit is generally understood" that the
Democrats and POpulists will unite to
elect the legislative officers. And it was
not aweek ago that Director Taubeneck,
of the Populist party, issued from this
city n general order directing Populist
members of legislatures, where they hold
the balance of power, to yield not an
iota, assuring them that in the end they
will compel n of the old parties to
support their candidates and policies.
But thedecree of Taubeneck is notheed-
ed. Those to whom it was addressed are
Populists of the revenue brand. They re-
member that two of Tanbeneck's rs
sociates in the Illinois Legislature
of 1891 played a game of poker with
Senator Palmer's friends wherein each
was permitted to win $4,000 and then
each voted for Palmer, while Taubeneck
stood out and got nothing. The Popu-
lists in legislatures prefer $4,000 to
glory of the Taubeneck variety. Mr..
Cleveland wants SenatOrs-wants them
above all things-to offset Hill and
Murphy. of New York. so that he can
ignore them. His friends in these States
have the Offices. The Populist legisla-
tors have votes. They are Sin it" for
offices. and two or three votes for the
Cleveland candidate will insure land
offices and such. There is no principle
in the political makeup of ~two-thirds
of the men who get into legislatures as
Populisrs. They are Populists because
they could not get office from the old
parties, notably the Republican. They
are elected by combinations under false
pretenses. They are the natural allies
of the Democracy, while the Demo-
cratic leaders In most States recognize
them as such when they shall have been
purchased. Two-thirds Of the Populists
in legislatures will eventually vote for
Democratic candidates for United States
Senators if not purchased and at the
outset if tender is made. Republicans
have only to watch the movements in
the legislatures referred to to sec that
the Journals assertion is absolutely
correct.

les Of municipal government.

THE leaders of the social reform"
movement in Germany recently issued
q manifesto opening thus:
Rise. wage slaves. blackened with toll for
your masters. Rise in your might and free
yourselves from the infamous thraldom of
beaurocracy, capitalism. milltarism. and
clericalism. The police and the army are
your brother workers, and you have moth.
ing to fear from them. Therefore, the time
Is ripe for the social millennium. Let the
German DrOletariat lead the attack upon
the rotten system of modern society. Let
them sweep from the face of the earth the
present conditions, etc.
Pursuant to this advice and in order
to hasten the advent of the social mil
lennium referred to several thousand Goa
miners have struck. The mines in the
district where the strike has occurred
are operated by the governmental
form of p~aternalism, by the way. which
the sOcialistic refOrmers in this country
are anxious to have adopted here. 1t
has been the aim of the Emperor William
to conduct the mines as models for the
rest OF the empire in respect of sanitary
and hygienic regulations. rate of wages,
hours Of work. etc. Yet although the
management of the mines has been con-
ciliatOry and paternal to a remarkable
degree it became necessary, in the
opinion of the miners, to 60 on a strike
in order to hasten the social millennium.
At last accounts they were reported TO
be armed with bombs, internal machines
and pistols, ready to fight tor the social
millennium at the drop of a hat. Here
is n case in which paternal government,
the universal panacea among American
sOcialistic reformers, does not seem to
have worked well. By the way, what
chance could workmen ever expect to
nave in q strike aCainstthe gOYernment9
