THE population Of Cuba is in round

THE population Of Cuba is in round
numbers 100000. OF these one-third,
or 500, 900, are negroes. The whites are
divided into " Peninsulares," those born
in Spain, and " Insulares," those born in
Cuba The Peninsulares are small in
numbers, but powerful in influence, be-
ing generally officials and wealthy mer-
chants, who thrive on monopolies and
other advantages their birth and con-
nections give them. The Insulares are
about 100000 in number, and generally
hostile to Spanish rule, since its benefits
are not for them. Only a small pro-
portion of them are actually in arms.
OF the 100000 negroes it is claimed
that only $4,000 have Joined the in
surgents, the remaining $4,000 being
loyal to Spain. There are three recog-
nized political parties in the island-the
" Loyalists," the Autonomists and the
" Alienists-" The Loyalists, made up
almost altogether from the Peninsulares,
are for the mother country through
thick and thin. The Autononists,
which include the bulk of the Insulares,
have been for Home Rule for Cuba,
while the Alienists are for separation
and independence Some of them are
in favor of annexation to the United
States, and part of them against il.

occupation of Atlanta, and tell the
always interesting stories of the Marches
20 the Sea and Through the Carolinas,
ending with a graphic description of
the Grand Review at Washington. These
articles viii be copyrighted by The

subscription is promptly renewed, that
you may not miss one of these, as well

THE SONS OF VETERANS.

We want to see the Sons of Veterans
doubled in number before the end of
next year. The time is ripe now for
beginning energetic work to develop
this grand Order into splendid proper
tons IL can be done if the brothers
will all work for it, and In the right
way. The Order has now passed the
critical stage of infancy and is on the
upward turn. II has demonstrated its
right to live and its usefulness.
All that is necessary now is for good,
steady work in increasing its men,
bership. No boom is desired, with
a general rush-in of new members,
but careful selection of members who
are desirable and who will add strength
to the Order. This is especially impor-
tant now, for the new blood will largely
determine the future of the Order. The
Sons of Veterans should within a few
years be the strongest and most inhuen-
tial organization in the country, with
enormous capacity for good to the Ma
ton and to its members.
Let each Camp write to The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE as to what it is doing.
Nothing else will be more effective in
developing interest in the Order, for it
will stimulate brothers everywhere into
active emulation.

as to what you are doing.

GREAT BRITAIN will find much
difficulty in consolidating the European
Nations against the Monroe Doctrine.
She is having trouble with nearly all Of
them with reference to her land-greed
in other continents, and they are not
averse to seeing her get sharp reverse
from America. She has very bitter
quarrel on hand with France about the
occupation of Egypt; her dispute with
Russia is centuries old, and liable to
assume fragrant form any day; she
and Germany cannot agree as to their
respective "spheres of influence" In
Africa; there has been some friction
between her and Italy over the Abys-
sinian and Egyptian boundaries, and so
it goes. The only country in which she
is liable or likely to get any sympathy
is Spain, who wants her help to keep
Cuba out of our hands. SPANS inau-
ence would count for about as much as
that of the Populist party in the next
House of Representatives.

Size gives this paragraph to famous


book:
One of the most potent causes for this
| outburst of evil passions was book written
by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, of Connecti-
cut, called Uncle Toms Cabin" Mrs.
Stowe had never been South, or seen
slavery and slave-owners as they really
| were but she was a violent Abolitionist
and she wrote for an Anti-Slavery news
paper q story founded on isolated cases of
cruelty and crime picked mp from other
papers. "Uncle Toms Cabin" supplied
at once a reason and a justification of
the intolerance of the Abolitionists, and
seemed to give sort of sacredness to their
opposition 10 the Constitution, to the laws
of the land, and the DEGREES Of the Supreme
Court. Passion and prejudice OVERRIDE
allegiance to the Government. In vain the
South denied the SANDERS given broadcast
to the world. "Uncle Tom" was repub-
lished in England, it was translated into the
European languages, and its caricatures of
Southern life were multiplied thousand
fold by Abolition energy and fanaticism.
When Mrs. Stowe was pressed to give her
authority for the account she gave of the
Kentucky and Louisiana planters she pub
Iished "a Key" which showed, among the
VI SidNouUiuciS anu tHCii hceioooj
how few were the instances of wickedness
such as she gave to the world rs the habtual
daily life of the broad South. The book
aroused universal indignation at the South;
but The Overdrawn statements had won the
ear Of the civilized world, which refused to
hear the South in her own defense.
From the way the fair authoress NAL
treats English grammar and rhetoric, it
would seem that she thinks they are also
Abolitionists.
We have already exhausted our space
in giving these extracts, and must defer
till next week the discussion of "the his
tory" of the events befo' and enduin'
de wah."
From the enthusiastic Endorsement
which the book has received from lead
ing men all over the South it seems
likely that it will be everywhere accept
ed as the school textbook of history, and
have a pernicious power in coloring the
minds of the rising generation as to their
relations to the people in the rest of the
country.

THE VENEZUELAN MATTER.

There is something of an abatement
in the strained feeling over the British
aggressions in Venezuela. Americans
of all parties and every position have
been very unanimous in expressing the
opinion that this Government should
vigorously assert that Monroe Doctrine
in the matter, and fol" few days the
British press was very truculcnt in as
sertions that Great Britain must not re-
cede. Some of them insisted that Great
Britain is as much !" an American
power" as the United States, having
more territory on this continent than we
have. and consequentlyoan equally good
right to dictate as, to any continental
policy.
The news that Russia had sent feet
of war vessels to occupy part of China
brought a sudden change in the tone of
the English papers. 1t looked as if
Great Britain was on the eve of a
mighty struggle with her traditional
enemy for ascendency in the Far East,
and their tone suddenly became very
placatory toward the United States and
Japan. They told us that we and Japan
were, with England, "great Pacific
powers" and should join with Great
Britain in resistance to Russian aggres-
sions. In return, England would join
with us in asserting the Monroe Doc
trine; together we would hold the tur-
bulent little States of South America in
order; together we would build the
Nicaragua Canal, and do many other
things.
We are not to be caught that way.
we VIII dLbe1lu I'd JHlS CoitlHenJ, lucluu-
ing South America, ourselves, without
any outside help, and in our own way.
We are quite big enough for the job, and
do not desire either advice or assistance.
We will also dig the Nicaragua Canal our
selves, and hold it firmly after it is built.
1t will be. as President Hayes styled it,
"a part Of the coast line of the United
States As for Russia's designs on
Korea and China, they are none of our
concern. Let Russia, Japan, Great
Britain, France, and Germany fight
that out among themselves. Our SYM
pathies will rather incline to Russia, who
has always been our friend in times when
we needed friends. nhS
The announcements is made that the
Administration will take no further steps
in the Venezuelan matter, but turn all
the papers over to Congress, and wait its
action. This is right We can rest
assured that the next Congress will do
the proper thing. ,ie,,r

IF any of the emasculated Mug
wumps can read the French papers, and
do read them, it must sadden their
souls to see In what terms those journals
allude to their beloved England. They
speak of the English as Unsuitable
hymas," leopards, skulking tigers"
ETC., and say: "Our sailors are itching
to lower the high talk of the insular
Goddams, and of invincible C?H?Y??)
Albion herself" This is because Eng
land has recently seized a chain of
Channel islands which the French think
belong to them, and also on account of
the Egyptian question.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1895-10-31

LET us have it at once and most pos
itively understood that the Monroe Doc
trine is not matter for arbitration. It
is a purely domestic matter, like the
question of a mans honor, or the con-
duet of his household, which he must
determine for himself, and not submit
to the direction of his neighbors. 1t is
no more proper subject for arbitration
for international arrangement than is our
Internal Revenue system, or our Indian
policy. We are quite capable of taking
care of it ourselves, and will do so. Let
England attend to her own business, and
we will manage ours without her help or
advice.

SENATOR SHERMAN has created a
furry by the publication of book of
Memoirs, in which he naturally tells of
his disappointments in not receiving the
nomination for President, and reflects
upon Garfield, Grant, and many others,
who, he thinks, stood In his way, or in
terfered with his success. 1t is very
natural that Sherman should feel as he
does. He Is a strong. positive man, who
has been many years In the political
field, in prominent position where blows
were distributed pretty generally. It is
inevitable that he should have scars
which pain him at times, probably all
the time. That is the fate of all kinds
of battling. Senator Sherman should be
philosophic enough to understand this,
and keep quiet about his particular hurts.
If all those whom he has hurt in his long
years of struggling for his own political
fortunes should begin to cry aloud about
their aches, we should have fine chorus

LEADERSHIP OF THE HOUSE.

LEADERSHIP OF THE HOUSE.
| 1t is getting to be question of lively
interest who will lead the Republican
in the next. House on the floor. o
course, there is no question who viii
lead the House itself 1t will be a some
what stout gentleman from Maine, WHOSE
initials are I. b. r.. But who viii oc
cupy the position on the floor so ably
filled in the last session of Congress by
Mr.. Reed? In the dominant party thi:
leadership is usually exercised by the
Chairman of the Committee on WAYS and
Means. When Mr.. Reed was Speaker OF
the 51st Congress Maj. VIM. Mckinley
was the Chairman, and John G. Carlisle
led the Democats as their ranking member
of the committee. In the SD Congress
w. M. Springer, of Illinois, was the
Chairman, and Mr.. Reed the ranking
Republican member, his party associates
being Burrows, of Michigan; Payne, of
New York; Dalzell, of Pennsylvania,
and Hopkins, of Illinois. In the last
Congress President Cleveland brought
his influence to bear to displace Springer,
and put VIM. L. Wilson in his place.
The Republicans on the committee were
Reed, Burrows, Payne, Dalzell, Hop
kins, and Gear. Burrows and Gear are
now in the Senate, which leaves besides
Reed, Payne, Dalzell, and Hopkins.
Payne is a man of ability, and of very
fine presence, but not generally re-
garded as alert and aggressive enough
to satisfy many Republicans He has
the advantage of being a steadfast friend
and adherent of Mr.. Reed. Dalzell is
small man, with a very active mind
and quick, sharp wit, which his oppo-
nents find very uncomfortable. He has
a fine faculty for keeping the other side
stirred up, and he does not Let his talent
rust from disuse. HE has the disadvan-
tage of having fought Senator Quay
very stubbornly in the recent contest in
Pennsylvania; and, as Senator Quay is
a stanch Reed man, it is thought that
this greatly hurts Dalzell's chances. The
Western members are generally pretty
strong for Hopkins, of Illinois, who is
a thoroughly-equipped man, and enc of
the best debaters and parliamentarians
IN the House. There are some who
believe that Mr.. Reed will go outside Of
the Committee on Ways and Means, and
select Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, from the
Committee on Appropriations, for the
leader. Mr.. Dingley, who is genuine
ly able man in every way, is not self
assenive one, and has not filled the
newspaper columns to the extent of some
other men Of less ability and service.
He is personal friend of Mr.. Reed,
and in many ways would come nearer
representing him on the floor than any
body else.

UNLESS we want to see the European
Nations divide up South America
among them as they have done Africa
and a great part of Asia, we will insist
obstinately upon the Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine is no more q

ton of Independence or the Consti-
tutional Amendments.
