WHOLE HOG OR NONE.

IL Uncle Sam Is inclined to take
possession OF the Island OF Cuba,
and such other OF the group lying
in the mouth OF the gulf of Mexico
as can be acquired by purchase
or other peaceable means, then it
might be in order to acknowledge
the claims of Cuba to her own in.
dependence. II this is not the in
tention, it might be as we'll to look
before the acknowledgement leap
is taken. To force Spain to relin-
quish her hold on Cuba wiShout
providing in that act OF enforce
ment some practicable govern
ment for that island, by which a
reasonable probability Of stable
government would be assured,
would be mistaken kindness.
Cuba is in no condition to gov
ern herself by the consent OF
her own inhabitants, for she has
not in her masses the requisite in.
telligence. To hand her over to
some dictator who would govern
the island in his own interests I'M
til he was driven from power by
some rival, would not tend either
to Industrial prosperity or to gov
ornamental stability. There is no
denying the general sympathy
that exists in the United States
for the people of that unfortunate
island, nor that the sentiment Of
this government is opposed to all
autocratic rule upon the islands as
we'll as the main lands of this west
ern continent. 1t is also true that
the interests of our own peo-
pie, commercial and political,
are opposed to the ownership
of the outlet to the great
southern gulf by foreign gov
ernments, which may become
hostile at any time. These and
other considerations might be ad-
vanced in favor of a positive stand
by the administration at Washing
ton and by congress in favor of
Cuban independence, but this will
not obviate the fact that such indie.
pendence may be a greater misfor-
tune to Cuba than her present
government at the hands of Spain,
particularly as that monarchy
seems inclined to yield a measure
of home government to the island.
That armed Intervention in behalf
of Cuba would be popular in
these United States is certain, and
the statesmen who advocate such
Intervention will strike a cord of
popular feeling that may aid them
In securing popular endorsement,
but this is not alone sufficient to
justify step that will change the
whole face of affairs in the Antil-
leg. 1t would be as unwise as I'M
generous to Cuba for this country
to take any step for her emancipa-
ton from the control Of Spain, I'M
less 1t is intended to see the mat
ter through, and this means at the
very least the establishment of
such a protectorate over Cuba as
will insure her the full support of
the military and naval force Of the
United States in maintaining her
independence. 1t may be the best
thing that the United States can
do to thus proceed, but before it is
done it will be wise to understand
the end from the beginning.

In the ensuing sentences:

We should cease to sing about them rs the
heather who bow down to worship images OF
wood and stone. This thing OF describing every
body excepting ourselves as ldolaters, In the in
terest of Christianity, ought to stop. We must
change our ways OF thinking and talking about
the japanese. While am convinced that
Christianity Is the true faith, | believe that
there Is some truth and revelation In the Japa-
nese religion. The Church. while carrying on
missionary work In Japan. must DO us polite
toward tho Japanese religion as is our Govern
ment toward the Government of Japan. Our mis-
sionary maps are often made in black and white
patches to show how white We are and how
black are all the people we call heather. We
whitcwash ourselves, and make our own coun-
try white. Just as though vice and crimc were
not rampant here: Our forefathors divided
tho religions of the world into two classes
calling our religion the true one and the Others
some revealed truth in all religions. The
Japanese have glimpses OF tho Supreme BEING,
and now We can lead them onward TO a better
view"
The foregoing sentences, which wcro uttered

tAched from their elaborate context, but are in
perfect conformity with It, They give evidence
