THE STUGGLE IN CUBA.

All America is interested in the
struggle of the Cubans for liberty. And
these are anxious days alike for the
island patriot and his Spanish ruler.
There is little question that the crisis
is close at hand. The Spanish army
is being deciminated by yellow fever
and southern epidemics, and the pa
triots, called insurrectionists, are har-
rowing the Spanish army. with guer-
rilla warfare. While the losses in
battle have not been so severe, the
ravageS of the climate have inflicted
terrible loss to the Spanish troops. 1t
is believed that if the insurgents can
hold out little longer and mass their
forces for some notable capture or vic
tory, they will bring Spain to terms.
The United States government has
not so much as recognized the belliger-
ants. who seem to desire a Republic.
But there is a very large negro pop
ulation in Cuba, and with a general en-
reimbursement there might be negro
supremacy. Cuba as an independent
Republic would not necessarily mean
the dominance of CubanS of unmixed
blood.
Another plan proposed is that Of a
protectOrate. If the Cubans should
succeed in severing their allegiance to
Spain and could then assume friendly
relations with some such country as
the United States, which should have
a general supervision of their affairs,
they would be very much pleased, no
doubt That would relieve them of
any fear Of negro supremacy and also
of the burdens of foreign government
which they now have to carry.
But the crisis is very near at hand.
Spain announces that she will not wait
till cool weather as heretofore an
nOunced but send at once an over
whelming force to crush out the pa
triots. Failing either in or by this
and the independence of Cuba is as
sured. The question arises is the gen.
eral intelligence of the island up to a
Republican standard of government.
If so then Cuba ought to be an indie
pendent Republic, otherwise join her
fortunes to her great, powerful and
free neighbOr, the United States of
America.

its corn yield of 1898; Kansas had still less
to show: Nebraska's farmers gathered
hardly oue-twelfth Of their ordinary har-
vest.
Harvest results have many times in his
tory served to turn the scale in important
national events. Professor Thorold Rog
ers has pointed out the curious fact of
England's five successive famine years of
ls4S to 1s5o-a period of distressingly hard
times. These were the very years when
the Puritan revolution gained the country.
and the fortunes of Charles 1. and his
landed aristocracy were finally ruined.
The resources of France at the close of
the Seventeenth century, impaired al
ready by Louis X1N'S extensive wars,
were utterly shattered by the protracted
dearth of 1899 10 1855, and the nation which
confronted Marlborough in the Spanish
Succession Wars was commercial wreck
The very mercantile navy built ID by
Colbert was rotting at its docks. Under
quite different circumstances-for hard
times are not always an unmixed evil
acceptd history itself attests the enor-
mons influence of the English and Irish
harvest failure of Is45 in forcing Great
Britain's adoption of free trade. History
has been slow TO attribute TO the great
American wheat crop of 1873 its true share
in the successful resumption Of specie
payments.
The harvest of 1895 has in fact doubly
wide significance. Following as partial
consequence the European wheat fall-
ures' of 1879 and 1891 respectively, and the
high grain prices which attended them,
production of wheat, the world over, was
expanded on an enormous scale. 1t is
true in one sense, as Professor Senior de-
clares. that the necessities of life canont
he "oyernroduced But it is easily pos
sible to overproduce one of them. When
this happens in the case OF wheat, the
"vis:ble supply becomes necessarily the
dominating factor. No less than S0,OOo,-
600 bushels of marketable wheat over
hung the market, in this country alone
when the panic of 1898 came on u.s. Inc
sudden decline of Is cents bushel was
the simple result of realizing to pro-
tect outstanding debts and acquire actual
money against emergency.
The enormous worlds production. since
the price of wheat was thus fixed, has
steadily kept down the market, even be-
low the manic level until this years re-
turns proved that the farmer had sought
out his own cure-had diversified MS
crops and cut down his acreage OF wheat.
The poor wheat crops Of Europe. even on
the diminished acreage, and the partiai
failure of our own winter-sown crop
have worked in the same direction. Last
week the American Visible supply was
but IS, O0o, 900 bushels. against 6o,OOo,ooo one
and two years ago, and S9.ooocN al the

THAT BULL-FIGHT.

Some of the Georgia papers are max
ing a mistake in their criticisms of the
north for not taking more interest in
their exposition. These gentlemen
should not forget that Georgia was the
state which refused to make any ap-
preparation for state building at the
Chicago worlds fair. Besides the in
terest in the Atlanta Exposition is very
general throughout the north.
AS for the bull-fght, the people of
the north are not more prejudiced than
the people Of the south. The bull
fight feature was a mistake and the
managers of the fair would do well
to frankly admit that it was g. mis-
take and abolish it. They Numbered
in carelesSly giving their consent 10
anything in the nature IF a bull-fght
on the grounds, and undoing the blum
der by revoking the permission. They
are now engaged in explaining that the
performance is TO be only L ''Side-
show" and not feature of the Expo
sition: and that the contest will be at
worst 4 harmless encounter. in which
neither man nor animal runs any risk
of being hurt. But all that most peo-
pie who read anything on the subject
will see is that they propose TO have a
bull-fight at Atlanta, and such an i'm
preston will not only be injurious to
the prospects of the Exposition, but
harmful TO the reputation of the south
generally. The best thing the mana
gers can do is 10 take immediate steps
10 prevent the contemplated contest,
which will be the furthest possible re-
move from an attraction if il is al
lowed 10 come off.
