HOW THE WAR WILL END.

| IL is a. common inquiry, DuG now
will the Cuban war end? Spain never
will recognize the independence of Cuba
without we put pressure upon her
probably actually declare war against
her."
1t will end, as all attempts of Spain
to recover her revolted colonies have
ended-in progressive inanition on the
part of Spain, in which the military eff
forts will become feebler and feebler, and
finally cease altogether, with the country
passing actually into the hands of the
Cubans years before Spain is constrained
into officially recognizing the islands in
dependence. The Mexicans began to
try for independence as early as 1908.
Twelve years later the Spaniards seemed
to have restored their authority in the
country. Then the revolution took fresh
life, and there followed years marked
by considerable battles, in which there
would be as many as 5000 men engaged
on side, and then would be years in
which there would be nothing but lit
tie guerrilla fighting. 1t was not until
1929 that the United States recognized
the independence of Mexico. Then
Spain sent a column of 1000 men to
the country to recover it. but they were
taken prisoners. That virtually ended
the war.
Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador
began struggling for their independence
in 1910. The war was prosecuted fit
fully for Is years, and ended in 1923
by the last of Spanish troops being ex
PEELED from the country. Sometimes
Bolivar, the patriot commander. would
have an army of $50 men, partly freed
negroes, and sometimes he would have
one of $4,000.
Chile first struck for freedom in 1910,
and succeeded in recovering the last
town in possession of the Spaniards in
1890.
The Argentinians began their revolu-
ton in 1910, and two years later capt
ured the last Spanish forces in their
country, at Montevideo. They then
turned in and helped the Chileans and
Peruvians to drive the Spaniards out of
their countries.
Peru was the last to rebel, which she
did in 1920, and by 1926 the last of the
Spaniards were driven out of Callao.
Uruguay, Guatemala, San Salvador,
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras
had like experiences.
Everywhere the history was the same
as that of the present struggle in Cuba.
The Spaniards would hold the towns,
which would enable the commanding
officers to fill their pockets by "squcez-
ing" the people. There would be long
periods of languor, followed by spas
modic efforts to get possession of the
country districts. The insurgents would
employ the years in getting firmer hold
on the country districts, making the peo-
pie accustomed to their Government, and
strengthening their forces by impress
ment of men and supplies, Finally they
would get strong enough to attack the
towns, and one by one these would come
into their possession, until nothing was
left but the principal port, which would
eventually succumb to their efforts, Sec
onded by the inability of the Home Gov.
eminent to succor it, and the revolution
would be complete. This is the way it
will be in Cuba.

MEMORIAL DAY.

year far exceeded in universally and
impressiveness that of any previou:
year.
While it is lamentably true that there
was a great deal of baseball playing
and similar sporting events" it does
not seem to us that there was as much
of this as in other years.
The Sabbath-like character OF the
day is gaining an ascendancy in the
peoples minds. This is largely through
the determined insistence upon it of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The re-
suit is that people who have no special
promptings of patriotism, no particular
regard for the dead who died for their
country, are seeing that it is excessively
bad form" to 60 to games and horse
races on Memorial Day, just as it would
be on Sunday, and they do not go.
Fashion is always more powerful
than either religion or law, Fashion
seems to be setting its face against desc
erations of Memorial Day, and in favor
of its decorous, seemly observance.
People of all kinds are coming to re-
member their own dead on that day,
even if they care nothing for the Nations
dead. 1t is we'll that they should.
They will all be bettered by visit to
the cemetery on that day, and by laying
a loving tribute of remembrance on the
tombs of such of their friends and kin
dred as have gone before. While it ele-
Yates them, it adds to the general sol
emnity and impressiveness of the occa-
sion. 1t contributes to raise the day
into what we all desire il to be In the
minds of the rising generation-a deeply
impressive Sabbath of American Patri-
otism.
BY determined insistence in this line
we can secure every year a more gen.
eral and respectful observance of the
day. 1t seems absurd to lecture men
and women who want to 60 to baseball
games and horse races on Memorial Day
about the respect due the Nations dead.
1t as absurd to lecture a great portion of
them, for they are utterly careless and
frivolous, and many of them would 60
to a public show on the day of the
funeral of their own parents.
The way that large portion of these
can be reached is the way that they are
being reached-by cultivating the idea
that it is "bad form low and vul-
gar-to be seen at boisterous public
sports on that day.
The most powerful influence in this
direction can be exerted by the women
young and old-who are always the
arbiters of the fashions and manners.
BY all respectable women uniting to
frown down attendance on such sports
on that day, the patronage would soon
be confined to the low and bad, who are
VIGOROUSLY unpreftable customers, and
the games die out for want of support,
just as We hope to see the Sunday base
ball perish, and that very soon.
As the years 90 by Memorial Day
takes a noticeably deeper root in the
hearts of the whole people. Efforts are
made to increase the sweet impressive
ness Of the ceremonies. Orators strive TO
have the most finished productions for
the day. Beautiful poems are written,
and music of a higher order is pro-
duced, and all this combines with other
influences to bring much greater num-
Der of peoples to the parades and cere-
monies.

IT looks very much as if Italy has

THE island of Cuba is the same size
as the State of Tennessee, and has about
the same number of inhabitants. Of
these about 100000 are whites, of
Spanish descent, and 100000 negroes.
Only one man in every four Spaniards can
read or write, and probably the percent
age of illiteracy in Cuba is still greater.
Spain draws from the island, in the shape
of taxes and other exactions, from
s34,OOO,00O to $9O,00O,O00a year. The
people are consequently ground down to
the lowest stage of poverty. The Cap
tain-General is always poor man when
he is sent to the island, and very rich
when he leaves it. He gets $4,000 a
year salary, while his extortions and
stealings are beyond computation.

The allegation that the Cubans do
not have any seaport has hardly solid
basis. While none of the prominent
seacoast towns arc openly in their hands,
the whole coast is much more open to
ingress and egress than any OF the ports
of the so-called Southern Confederacy
was after 1861. There is no trouble in
shipping arms and ammunition to the
patriot forces, and they reach them with
great promptness. The Cubans are
much better off in this respect than the
Mexicans were in 1S64-'66, when they
could only be reached by going over
American soil

THE hopes Of the Anti-Ring elements
in Louisiana that the Legislature would
do something to prevent the gross cleo

the seating of Mr. Foster have not been
realized. BY an unexpected vote of sc
to 4S the Legislature refused to 20 be-
hind the returns, and declared Foster
elected by 26,62S majority. After all
the talk the Ring seems more solid in
Louisiana than anywhere else in the

Mrs Bryan would sacrInce ana en-
dure anything once She HAD made up
her mind that tl was right. She
has ideals and will consider her hus-
bands nomination as righteous ana
step toward what the Bryans maintain
is the correction Of the wrongs Of the
masses Of the people Size has q sweet

the men and women who penetrate her
reserve appreciate her honesty of pur-

Mr.. Bryan lives we'll in a commOdious
dwelling in the fashionable part of Lin
coin. His family consists of Mrs Bryan;
Ruth, aged II; William J., Jr., aged 6,
and Grace, aged 5. The study, ia which
both Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan have desks, is
n very attractive room. II il filed with
books. statuary and mementos of cam
paigns. There are busts or portraits Of
noted men, and there are two butcher
knives which Mr.. Bryan used in the
campaign with Field to refute the lat
ter's boast Of the effects Of high protec-
ti0n.
Last year Mr.. Bryan was asked il he
had any aspirations looking to the
White House, and he said: ''No, have
no wish to be presidential candidate,
neither now nor in the years to come.
My whole thought now is centered Oh
my family and my profession so far as
my own personal desires 20 l was

they need fathers care, and wish To

sarily abandoned during my four years

ton which nominated him for president,
