INTERVENTION IN CUBA.


There is a popular demand in vari
Gus parts of the country that the gov.
eminent intervene in the Cuban wa
and put stop to it. The grounds OF.
which this Intervention is asked ara
that the bIoodshed and cruelty MAY
cease; that they are a disgrace to
civilization and an outrage on human,
ity
What is transpiring in Cuba today
is what transpires wherever there IL
war. War is the killing of human be
ings by wholesale, and it can be moth
ing but revolving. Those who are de.
manding that this country intervene iii
the Cuban war and stop it apparently
forget that such Intervention meant
the involving of this country in wal
with Spain. The war in Cuba cannot
be stopped by the fiat of this or any
other government A war with Spain.
which would be the absolutely certain
consequence of Intervention, would
mean an increase, on a tremendous
scale, of the very evils Intervention IL
designed to cure.
Spain is on a very good war footing
in Cuba. and already has an army
there of some two hundred thousand
soldiers. They are good fighters and
would not for one moment shun con-
flict with anv force this government
might land upon the island; in fact
they would rather welcome it as de-
cided change from the guerrilla war;
fare they are now under the necessity
of carrying or. SPANS failure to SUBJ
due the rebellion is largely owing to
the fact that the Cubans cannot be
brought to bay.
OF the final triumph of the United
States over Spain there could be no
doubt. but the triumph would have
its price. and it would not be an in
differently small one either.
1t is not impossible that interven-
ton by this country might bring on
complications with Europe; it is hard
ly probable but it is not impossible.
Such a thing is not desirable for the
country, though the possibility of 1t
would not deter the government from
doing what it deemed right and proper.
To intervene TO put a stop to
bloodshed and the barbarities of war
would be very much like pouring oil on
the flames. Those who are demanding
it should think of these things. The
present horrors would be increased ten
fold and they would come home to our
own people. There would be no dan
ger of invasion, but armies for the in
vasion of Cuba would have to be raised
and battles would have to be fought
Cubans. Then there would be sea
fights. and the outcome of sea fight
cannot always be foretold.
If the government can by its good
offices bring about a cessation of hos
tilities in Cuba it should be done To
recognize the independence of the Gu
bans is preferable to intervention,
which would almost inevitably result
in annexation. There would be but one
construction possible of such a result,
which would be that the intervention
was for our benefit rather than the
Cubans'.
The whole Cuban business is deplor-
able in the extreme and the relations of
this government to it will have to be
conducted with extreme delicacy. The
government must be above just re-
proach in all things Intervention for
the purpose of putting an end to the
cruelties and barbarities of war. fol-
lowed by annexation, would hardly be
above reproach.

A NEW JERSEY STORY.

A champion story about turkey
gobblers comes from New Jersey. that
land famous for large and vicious
mosquitoes. The man who tells it
owns poultry farm out in Pisoataway
township. His name is suppressed be-
cause some writer of stories for the
press may say the story was stolen
from him. and this might lead the re-
lator into trouble.
This man says he was sitting at a
window in his house when he saw
tramp crossing the field towards the
turkey Enclosure. His son wanted to
get shotgun and go after the tramp
but the father said no. The tramp
went into the Enclosure, took his COB
bier, when all the rest, some % in
number, made an attack upon him.
Some seized him by the pants Cramps
don't wear trousers), while others flew
onto his shoulders and attacked his
neck. He hung to his gobbler and
started on the run, the whole herd fol-
lowing in hot pursuit, after the manner
of policemen on the trail of burglar.
The attack was so furious that he was
compelled TO drop his bird and fly for
his life. The birds followed him down
the road for a long distance. The
climax of this story is that the man
who owned the turkeys declared they
were so angry that he was compelled
to wait a couple of hours before he
dared to drive the birds back into their
Enclosure.
Such an incident could not happen
in any place but New Jersey, that is to
say, no one but a New Jerseyman
would have the cheek to tell such an
internal yarn. And it is among such
people that Mr.. Cleveland has deter
mined to pass his remaining years.

There was a rumor on the streets
yesterday that the supreme court had
arrived at a decision in the election
contest case and that the law under
which the election was held was de-
clared invalid. There is no foundation
whatever for the rumor and it was
evidently started by some idle tongue.
Whether or not the supreme court
has arrived at any decision yet is not
known, but it can be stated definitely
that there will be no decision rendered
before Saturday, and probably not I'M
til Monday.

The GIobe-Democrat says that Idaho
is the fourth state to grant full woman

BRYAN, %, 1872; Mckinley, 1924 and
Bryan's plurality of 1868 would have
been more than doubled by woman
suffrage. That was the effect in Colo
RADIO and Utah. where the Bryan plu-
reiities respectively were 1SS.54O and
1852. Idaho viii probably find. before

and divided its joys. This doubling
the vote for Bryan makes woman suff-
rage all the more meritorious.
