them and every hope which inspires them.
They understand the genius Of our insti-

the fern of government under which we
live and do build their faith upon founda-
tions laid by ~thetfathers. Andrew jackson
has stated with admirable clearneSs and an
emphasis which cannot be surpassed. both
the duty and the sphere of government.
He said.

not be produced by human institutions.

We yield to none in our devotion TO the
doctrine just enunciated. Our campaign
has not for its object the reconstruction OF
society. We cannot insure to the vicious
the fruits of a T1rtuous life: we would nor
invade the home of the ~prcvident in order
to supply the wants Of the spendthrift.
we donot propose to transfer the rewards
of industry to the lap of Incidence. Prop
erty is, and will remain. the stimulus te
eTleseavor and the compensation for toll.
We believe. as asserted in the declaration
of independence. that al men are created
equal. but that does no mean that all
men are, or can have equal possessions ir
positions or merit: it means that all shall
stand equal before the law. and that gov
eminent officials shall not. IN making. cor.
STRUNG or enforcing the law. discriminate
between citizens.

In his message sent to congress in DeceHr

NO men living are more worthy to be

of Washington City. Fifty miles to
the eastward lies old Matanzas, the
great sugar shipping port OF Cuba.
On the opposite southern coast is
Cienfuegos, also famous for its exports
of sugar, while still to the eastward
and on the south eide of the coast,
nestled against the foot of the Sierra
Maestro range, is the old city of San
tiego.
The Cubans, through long centuries
of adaptation to environments, have
become modified into a peculiar and
distinctive type of people, differing in
tastes, habits and ideals from the
Spaniard of their mother Nation.
AS in every other land, there are all
classes and conditions of people; the
refined and the uncultured, the rich
and the poor, the high and the low.
The influence of habit have moulded
them into a gentler and less aggress-
ide race than that from which they are
descended, and has ameliorated many
of the other characteristics of temper
ament by which we are wont to Judge
Spaniards.
There is one characteristic, how
ever, which dominates these people,
and concerning which Americans
should not be deceived by representa-
tions from the ruling power of the
country and this is that in the heart
of every native of the island, even the
first generation of Spanish descent,
there is a strong ineradicable love of
liberty, coupled with aspirations that
the island may become part of the
United States, the country which con-
sumes their products. and which, to
them, appears perhaps in an exagger-
ated sense, the ideal of all that is free
and happy. The sentiment of the isl.
and should not te judged by the ut
terances from Habana. The spoken
sentiment of Habana is Spanish, be-
cause of the machinery and social sur
roundings of administration are con-
oentrated there.
In the spring of 1893 the writer of
this article traversed the length of the
island, visiting the interior villages
and plantations, and stopping, ..as an
explorer must do, with the everyday
people, wherever night overlook him,
and whenever conversation was
maintained for a few moments the
Cubans' words would inevitably drift
into pathetic discussion of the bur-
dens of Government, and the hope OF
liberty. The writer then saw that
throus hout the island there was mine
of public sentiment, which would some
day explode with tremendous force. and
lay destitute the apparent prosperity
