WHY NOT ANNEX CUBA2

The solution Of the Cuban question Il
in annexation. Every common interes
existing between the United States anG
Cuba suggests annexation. Those in
terestS for the most part are sweeping
and reciprocal, to say nothing of the
contiguity Of the two countries. The
United States produces all that Cuba
wants and all that Cuba produces the
United States must have. But a few
hours of sailing separates the two coun-
tries. Cuba lies close under the pro-
| tectlng shadow of the great North
American republic. SO outside Of ma
! terial interests Cuba and finally all of
the West India islands should be but
so many states and territories of the
| Union. In the event of war with Eng
land or any foreign nation Cuba would
prove Of incalculable advantage.
Therefore the United States should not
only proclaim the independence of
Cuba, but should declare its intention
TO maintain that independence against
the world, however offensive such an
attitude should prove to European ma
tons, Was Cuba as closely allied to
England that power would not hest
tate moment to take 1t under its pro-
lection. All this talk upon the part
Of the Democratic papers that the Re
publican party is seeking TO put MIR.
Cleveland in a hole over the Cuban
question is rot The Republican lead
erS who are demanding that the in-
surgent patriots ShalTbe recognized are
inspired by the same spirit which die
tated the Declaration of Independence
Cuba is the most fertile spot on the
globe and would be rich indeed had her
people but such a chance as is afforded
the people of the states Its being fer
tile and wealthy renders annexation all |
the more desirable.
There can be no doubt that recogni- |
ton of belligerency in the Cuban in
SurgentS by the United States would be {
followed by similar action on the part |
of nearly all the Latin American ma
lions. 1t may be that some of them
will not wait Their sympathies are
of course with the Cubans who are now
going through a struggle like those
which all Spanish-American nations
had at one time with Spain. They re-
vOlted for reasons similar TO those
which caused the outbreak In Cuba,
and the history of each illustrates the
Of Spain to successfully gov
ern colonies. By oppression and mis-
-ule it has lost all its American pos
sessions but Cuba and Porto Rico, and
{ will soon lose these.

AMERICANS IN FRANCE.

To France and Italy go many Amer
lean students in the arts annually. but
the universities of France have been
practically closed against them.
Friends of the cause of higher educa-
ton in this country are congratulating
! themselves ON account Of the recent
! step taken by the authorities that con-
| troll the French universities. After
| long consultation between these au-
! thoritieS and the Americans living in
France, sufficient concession has been
made to allow the study of electives in
courses leading TO the degree of doctor
of science to allow student TO begin
his course in one French university and
finish at another; and to allow him to
take all his examinations for the de-
gree at one time.
Although the American student is not
specifically mentioned In the matter,
yet 1t IS said to be largely on his ac-
count that the concessions have been
made.
Heretofore the German universities
have been the favorities of American
students seeking higher degrees abroad
and in certain departments, such as
philosophy, this will continue to be the
case. But the action of the French
authorities opens, or promises to open,
splendid opportunities to Americans in
search of certain branches of learn
ing which can be found nowhere so
well as in France. The recognition OF !
American college degrees as the equiv |
alent of corresponding study in France |
is still to be hoped for.

THAT FAST MAIL TRAIN.

That fast mail train, for Kansas, to
run on "some trunk line from Kan

knocked out by dozen objections as
We're some others Of like character.
The Eagle very clearly set forth the
next day what the bill meant. 1t was
not in the interest of Kansas. 1t was
simply job and no doubt engineered
by the newspaper interests of Kansas
City. The train was to leave Kansas
City, Missouri, at a. m. and to over
take the train at Newton which had
left that city at II p. III. In the in

was in the interest of Missouri morn

carried nothing else unless the IL
o'clock mails were held back at Kan

just one Kansas morning paper and all
the evening papers of Kansas City, Of
Lawrence Topeka and EmpOria, and
would have benefited nobody in Kan

Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that
you can't be cured.
There must be cure for you some

he has mistaken the cause. Anybody j:
liable to make mistake sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from indi
gestiOn, and one out of three dyspeptics

he is sick, but he blames it to something
