would be forever shaken, and we should
commit an injustice that would make our
sons blush. The Cu6ans would have been
wanting, not only In self-respect, but even
in the instincts of self-preservation, If they
would have endured such q degrading and
destructive system. Their grievances are
of such nature that no people, no human
community capable of vaIulng its honor
and OF aspiring to better its condition, could
bear them without condenming itself to
utter nullity and annihilation.
"Spain denies to the Cubans all effective
powers in their own country. Spain con.
dcmns the Cubans to a political inferiority
In the land where they are born. Spain
confiscates the product OF the Cuban's
labor without giving them in return either
safety, prosperity or education. To main
tain by force OF arms this mon strous regime,
which brings ruin on a country rich by
nature and degrades a vigorous and INTEL
ligent population, q population filled with
noble aspirations, is what Spain calls de-
Tending Its honor, and to preserve the pres
tige of its social functions as a eivilizing
power of America.
'The Cubans, not in anger but in despair,
have appealed to arms In order to defend
their rights and to vindicats an eternal
principle, a principle without which every
community, however robust In appearance,
is in danger-the principle Of Justice.
."Nobody has the right OF oppression.
Spain oppresses the Cubans. In rebeIling
against oppression they defend a right.
The Cuban cares not a straw for the num-
Der of his enemies, nor has he measured
his strength, They have cast up an ac-
count of their grievances and measured
the mass of injustice that crushes him, and
with uplifted heart has risen to seek re-
dress and uphold his rights. Let America,
let the world, decide where rest justice
and right. .

A PREDICTION.

One has heard OF shipping Goals 20
Newcastle. but we never think OF the
probability OF shipping lumber to Puget
Sound. And yet that is what we may
expect in The future, according 70 Prof.
Runnebaum, OF Berlin. unless our for
ests are protected against the reckless cut
ting and widespread eonhagrations of the
present day. Tho professor was sent by
the German government to examine the
timber resources OF the Pacific &C asst.
and. while he was struck with their vast
ness. he expresses amazement at the
waste going on Ho was here while for
est fires were raging and the heavens
elouded with smoke. The devastation
wrought prompted him 20 remark that
unless our forests arc preserved there are
those now living who may see lumber
shipped from Germany 20 Puget Sound.
While European countries arc planting
trees. the professor says VIC are sweeping
away our timber growths. unmindful Of
the fact that the life OF tho forests IL
the life OF the people. and that we are
destroying now what is In part the right
fsl heritage Of future generations.

MONEY SEEKING EMPLOYMENT.

The craze for investment by English peo-
pie in the South African mines is much
20 be regretted. The disasters following
rash speculation from whcb the entire
world Is now but slowly recovering seems
10 have taught our neighbors no lesson
They are recklessly buying shares In COM
panies which will never pay dividend,
and will as surely decline as did those
OF the many Wild cat mining propositions
OF California and Nevada. 1t is not at all
probable that the great majority OF the
investors are dupes. They do not intend
10 wait for dividends. but expect TO hold
their stock for higher prices, when they
calculate 10 sell out. Long before the
time when the schemers will permit the
stock to decline they will have sold out
at immense profits. and the smart In
vestors viii he left with the stock on their
hands BY manipulation the market QUO
tations will fuctuate with tempting prom
ises OF still higher prices. and then they
viii dwindle down. leaving the promoters
rich and tho investor so much the poorer.
The same scheme has been successfully
worked before, and the unlearning guilt
bility OF the people affords perennial
harvest.
one reason for the readiness with which
English people SEEK such means OF spec-
uation Is that the rate oe interest on all
government securities and in savings
banks Is 80 low that the accumulation OF
money by small capitalists is very slow.
