THE FREEDOM OF cunA.

We know that France our friend proved
Also we know the golden rule.
But for the United States to free Cuba.
Would mean fight against another
rule.
We think of these families stricken
With woe
Who are pressed by Spanish bands.
But Tor the United States to fight you

Would cause war in our lands.

And may God spare them without loss.
Or causing the United States a foe;

THE CUBAN CROP.

There have been published from time to
time 50 many conflicting statements regard.
inc the condition of the growing sugar crop
and the influence of the rebellion. in so far
as the yield is concerned, that the statement
from a gentleman who has recently returned
from "A trip over the entire island is not ONLY
interesting, but is instructive as we'll.
The gentleman was disinclined to talk on
the subject, on the ground that his remarks
might be misconstrued as an attempt on his
part to influence the price Of sugar. He
informed n representative Of this paper that
his trip was from Havana, on the west end
to Santiago, on the east end, and that while a
large portion of it was made by means Of
the railroads, he had an opportunity to Judge
Just about what the prevailing conditions
are. In the Las Villas region. the richest
portion Of Cuba, and where about so percent.
Of the entire crop is grOWn-he said the
plantations certainly looked as though thew
had not been given sufficient care, and the
prospects were not as brilliant, and he be-.
lieved that the crop would fall far short of
expectations.
Continuing, he said, that while there
might be cane enough standing in Cuba to
make 100000 tons Of sugar, it was problema.
tical how much Of it would be ground. as tha
insurgent leaders had issued a proclamation
to the effect that tho grinding of the cane
would be followed by the confscation of the
estate. Iii is largely to this that the short
age will be due, the planters not caring to
put money OH the cane fields. Regarding
the railroad facilities, they are not in good
shape. The people do not care to use them,
as they have been advised by the insurgents
hat the use of the railroads would be
attended by much danger, and in this respect
the prospects of getting the cane to shipping
points are not good. Taking it all in ali, he
was of the opinion that the shortage would
be greater than the largest estimate vet
made.-Ne,s York Shipping List.

a breach OF tue Monroe doctrine, as recently

Britain, OF to receie in some marked way
from his present position.
An occasional correspondent of the Times

population. The Sialnsse are therefore grow

vague, and one does not quite see why French
intervention should stop progress in Siam,
while British Intervention would materially
encourage it. We suspect, however. that
the French, after their fashion, are making
themselves hated by their interference with
old customs, and that when the struggle for
Siam actually begins, they will find that the
whole population, if not pro,British, is at

will probably build up something; but as yet

Some ngIi~h mesl If letters have follow
ed suit by drawing up an eloquent protest nd
dressed to literary men III the United States
against a war whict could not bat leave the
most serious and injurious traces upon our
literature. There would be triumphant re-
cords of victories on both sides which the
other side would bitterly resent, There
would be everywhere stories Of the ruin and
misery wrought in American or English
homes; and the wrath excited would take
generations to ohliternte. The literature OF
both countries would be deeply scored with
the passions evoked on both sides, and the
united action of the Aagl Saxon race for
great common ends would be rendered I'M
possible for a long future. 1t is said that
Mr.. George Meredith, Mr.. Leeky, Mr.. Leslie
Stephen. Sir Walter Besant, and many others
have given their signatures to this address.
But why in recording the great names OF
which both couu REG are proud, Grants
name should have been preferred to Llncolns,
we cannot imagine. Not only in the United
States but i'll England, LincoIn'a name Is a
name to %coniurc with; while General Grant
two presidoncies unfortunately dissolved a
great deal Of the glamour which his mlll-
tary achievements had gathered round his
mama
