he would have 1t understood that he cares
not for hardship, and trouble is foreign to
him.
When the reporter asked him what he
would do if released from the gloomy
walls and barred windows, Mike replied
that he would take the lecture platform
and preach temperance. He said that he
firmly believed he possessed more knowl-
edge about the selling of liquor than any
man in Maine, and could give rousing
good talk on the subject, citing points
which the majority of people knew moth

During the short talk engaged In, Mike

TF THE CUBAN REVOLT
 SHOULD SUCCEED.
IOhieago Record.I

There is enough in the recent re- ports from the scene of the Cuban revolution to warrant the belief that the United States may yet be summoned to play an important part in the future of the island. As suming that the reports as to the situation there are even partly true, it is evident that Cuba is nearer the establishment of her independence than ever before. Should she suc- ceed it would be by no means strange if her leaders, regarding a protectorate as most desirable form under which to administer the affairs of the island, were to appeal to the United States or Mexico to assume charge.
 The colored inhabitants of Cuba number about 30 per cent. of the en- tire population, and, as rule, these people are poor and ignorant. Slav cry has been abolished and educa- tion was made compulsory :n 1880, but the time has been too short to permit of any real improvement in the condition of this part of the Cuban population. What to do with these inhabitants is perplexing question with the insurgents, and it is probable that they would rather remain as a dependency on some other government than assume the difficulties of administration with so large portion of the population un- fitted to attempt self-government. And were the Cuban leaders to de- eide that the burden is too heavy, they would be far more likely to ap. peal to the United States than to Mexico. While the Cubans and Mex jeans speak the same language, the two peoples are not bound together by so many ties as exist between this country and Cuba. Most of Cuba's trade is with us, and there are comparatively few products which it can exchange with Mexico.
 1t is yet too early to assume that the result will be victory for the insurgents. But vague as the re- ports are it is evident that up to date the revolutionists have the best of the struggle. In view of their spunky resistance and the re- ported weak financial condition of Spain, it would not be surprising if the question of a Cuban protectorate were to be forced upon the atten tion of the next Congress.
