question of the character, fitness and

news matters Of general interest In Ie.
latlon to the progress of the candidacy
of any aspirsnt will be freely given,

every candidate fairly, but do not de-

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

Having considered we'll all there Is in
our relations with Spain and with other
countries bearing on the Cuban situs-
tion, and having given due weight to
our international obligations and our
duty to perform faithfully our part in
maintaining the peace of the world,
we are reminded that the Northern
people of the United States grew
weary of maintsing the institution of
slavery for our Southern neighbOrs,
and in like manner the whole body Of
our citizenship is now weary with sup
porting Spanish dominion in our neigh
boring. island Of Cuba.
The earth is the heritage Of the
people, and the right to its use for
purposes of subsistence descendS to all
men alike. No nation, no race, no
people, colony or clan has any natural
right 70 take and use any more Of the
earth's surface than Is necessary for
the subsistence of it's own population.
The right of migration is inherent.
A monopoly of land is no more justi-
fed In natural law than q monopoly of
water or air. It is true, of course,
that in present conditions governments
are necessary agencies in carrying for
ward the general improvement of the
race, and they need among themselves
often power to enforce restraining
regulations upon one another for the
common good Of all. The Anglo
Saxon could not have made Of this
country what he has made Of it, had
he come in company with the Mon
golian and made common cause with
him. Nor could he have done what he
has done if he had taken the sborig-
insl American into partnership. AS
to Great Britain, Germany and France,
we are not prepared to say that the
net result of their influence beyond
the boundaries of their own countries
has not been good. But it is not that
way with Spain. Her conquest of
Mexico, Central and South America,
destroyed q race and swept from the
earth q civilization quite equal to that
of the conquerors. 1t is computed
that not less than 100000 human
lives were sacrificed by Spsniards in
gaining and continuing possession Of
the American gold and silver mines.
Without considering the early his
tory of Cuba, 1t Is sufficient to know
that, for seventy.five years at least,
the people Of that island have had q
continuing and just complaint. Cuban
mismsnagement may be said to have
begun after the deposition of the royal
family of Spain in 1903, when the cap
tain, general or goVernor-geners system
was insugursted. The people, since
that time, have been governed at arms
length by q nation whose chief interest
Is to despoil them.
Subject to sutocFstic rule by paid
agents of the mother country, the
Cubsns naturally became restless and
turbulent. Beginning in 1929, the
struggle now pending is the fifth in
series Of attempts to throw off the for.
eign yoke and establish government
Of their own. During the ten years
war beginning in 1888 these people
made q formidable resistance, develop
ing all the traits Of q skilled soldiery.

The New York World manages to
tell more truth and more absolutely
untrue things than any metropolitan
paper in the East. One issue John SheE-
man is the greatest public benefactcr Of
the age and in the course Of 8 day or
two something like the following appears.
It 10 to be wondered that the World
viii not some time learn that it pays to
tell the truth ell the time. Speaking Of
the Gould's escaping taxation it says:
"The final success Of the heirs Of Jay
Gould in escaping taxation in this city
by the dodge Of fixing o residence else
where is but another sign Of the times.
These heirs inherited fortune Of some
@8O,OOO,O0O. They resisted an assessment
Of 81OOOOOOO, and have succeeded in
avoiding any taxation here for State or
local purposes,
AIN doing this they simply followed
the example Of most Of their class. Not
10 per cent. Of that form OF accumulated
wealth in this city known as personal
property and subject by law to taxation
is actually assessed and pays taxes. It
was only the other day that young Astor
swore his assessment like q gentleman
and a plutocrat. And last year
combination of millionaires succeeded
in nullifying the income tax, though in
the process it was necessary to get the
Supreme court not only to reverse an
unbroken line Of decisions upholding
such law, but to revoke It's own recent
decision.
"Thus does wealth escape itsjust share
Of the cost Of government. Eighty per
cent. of all the tariff and internal
revenue taxes is collected from the
neoessaries or comforts Of the people Of
small means. Soon after the war every
TAX laid specifically upon Wealth-yield-
ing in one year as much as 1926, O00I I0OO-
was repealed. There is now no federal
tax left based upon the just principle Of
taxation according to benefits received
and ability to pay. The State and local
taxes on real estate are paid chiefly by
tenants. Labor and consumption pay.
Wealth escapes.
"And yet the tax sx-dodgers, the treasury
squeezers and the plutoOrsts who corrupt
politics and control the government TO
their own selfish ends wonder that
Socialism and Populism and other signs
Of discomfort multiply, and that there is
a menacing unrest among the people"

Inthe seventh the locals scored two ON

The work of Norfolks outfeld and
OF Hargrove for the visitors was magnih-
cent. G. McFarlan and Cleve, as well as
little Mac, covered their territory well,
and the first two are credited with clean
assists. lElrgrove distinguished himself
by throwing Il runner out home from
deep centre. rs well as by fielding his
position with his usual happy success.
Rollins was a decided improvement to
what he was in the morning game.

well, and had his arm with him at crit

Bile. Ramp got on to Evans for two
doubles, each of which isiwellcd the score
by two runs apiece.
As for Evans. after the first inning he
didn't seem to care much whether he
won or lost He Is charged with two
errors. Some scorers would have given
him three. He did not seem 10 be able
to field his position at all. His hits were
all pretty well scattered until the NINTH

The Game I'm Detail.

The first game was played on the
Portsmouth grounds, and was "a comedy
of errors so far as the Changers were
concerned, all seven of Norfolk's runs
being unearned and the ma jority of
them Snade with ease born of the weak
ness displayed by the opposing force.
Both of Bnandt'ts wild pitches brought
in runs; Pat Rollins behind the bat.
put up, with one exception, the most
miserable exhibition he has been guilty
of this season. Heilman in the first
made costly error which eventulIted in
a tally, and Rieman's error and Pats
wild throw in the seventh, let in another.
Brandt pitched Il good game, though
hits were punched on him in two in
nings, the seventh and first. The loss OF
the game Is by no means chargeablc to
him, however, though, with gifts of
bases and Wild pitches, he materially
assisted In losing 1t.
Leach was In the box for Norfolk, and
only eight hits were obtained off him,
all of them being well scattered, the only
score made by the locals leing i'm the
first inning. Mailman. with Lefty out,
drew a base on balls and stole second
