All unwittingly, no doubt, but none
the less impressively, Capt. Mahan
submits in the last of bis notable Low
ell Institute lectures strong practi-
cal argument for the acquisition of
Cuba by the United States.
The vast material wealth and vaster
potential resources of the Ever Faith
full Isle are familiar story. But Capt.
Mahan points out that in a military
sense the value of Cuba to our coun-
try is even greater. "Cuba," he says,
''is as important to the Gulf of Next
co as Gibraltar is to the Mediterrane-
an" sThe control OF the Mona Pas
sage, Hayti and San Domingo, with
Cuba, would mean the blockade of the
Caribbean Sea-"
Capt. Mahan looks forward to the
time when an interoceanic canal will
be constructed, and holds that that
would make the possession of stra-
tegic positions in the Antilles all the
more essential to our security. Ha-
vana is the best harbor in the West
Indies. It's narrow entrance renders
it easy of defence. It's distance from
Key West is about that from Bost o
to Portland, Me.
The support of SO disting uished a
student and historian, who is notably
a man of sober, conservative views,
will be gladly welcomed by the ad-
vocates of annexation. Capt. Mahan
takes broad, philosophic view of all
these problems. His argument for
the acquisition of Cuba was merely an
incident of his series of lectures-not
the end and aim of it. No other ma
ton than the peaceful, unsuspicious
United States would ever have allow
ed vantage grounds like Cuba, the
Bahamas and Bermuda to remain for
more than a century in the bands of
fol eign Powers which in national cris-
es had proven our especially relent-
less enemies.
But it may be objected to Capt. Ma
hams argu ment that as Cuba lies
SO near our seaboard as to be practi-
cally "within our lines" and easily
taken possession of by a military
force in an emergency. To this Capt.
Mahan w ould probably reply that we
could not tax Cuba in this impromp-
tn manner uni ess we were stronger at
sea than our antagonist or how could
we protect our unarmed transports
ferrying over an army of, say, hun
l.od +bouoand pnan9
Capt. Mahan's op mons, however,
are of purely acadsm sig nificance
ust now. They need not arouse in
the slightest degree the resentment
of the Spanish government.

The question whether a colored boy
shall be admitted to the Annapolis
naval academy is still exciting good
deal of discussion, particularly in Gin
cinnatti, Washington and Annapolis,
Some of the political leaders in Gin
cinnatti assert that Congressman
Shattue will lose many supporters by
his action in appointing young Bundy
to the cadetship. In reply to these,
General Shattue says that the sever
al thousand colored voters among
his constituency are entitled alike
with the white to his services, and
that, as the boy beat all other appli-
cants in competitive examination,
no other course could consistently
have been pursued. The congress
mans fairness and courage in ap-
pointing andtsanding byBundy can
not be too highly commended. It's
o be hoped the young negro will
prove worthy.

REPUBLICANISM IN EUROPE.

The prospects Of Greek republic
! arising out of the ruin of the Greek
cause in the war with Turkey would
appear to be far from promising, yet
they would not be necessarily hope
less. The present French republic
owes it's existence to Paris mob,
which overturned the government of
| the second empire on the morrow OF
Sedan and only a fortnight before the
German lines closed around French
capital. When the republic was pro-
claimed cool observers estimated it's
Duration by months only, and the
Commune seemed to justify the worst
forebodings of those who predicted
it's speedy downfall. Yet it survived
the storms, both Of foreign and do
nestle war, and stands to this day,
the only French government that has
endured for a quarter of a century
since the destruction of the old re
gime in 1889.
Republication is stronger than
ever in Europe, although no republic
has been proclaimed since Spain abol-
ished manarchy in 1873, only to re-
turn to it two years latter. The re-
cent elections in Italy show a marked
gain in the republican vote, land Spain
and Portugal possesses large repub-
lican element that keeps their rulers
in fear and trembling. Germany,
Austia and Belgium are honeycomed
by the socialist, who are uncom
promising advocates Of the social
republic. Norway has been several
times on the point of severing the
ties that bind her to Sweden and set
ting up as an independent republic.
Russia is full of liberal thinkers,
whose demands range from reform
to revolution, and there is not a
country in Europe chat does not con-
tain large numbers of thoughtful men
who believe in the republican instead
of the monarchial idea, and would
welcome any addition to the family
Of European republics.

King George to lose his throne as a
consequence Of defeat in war into
which he was driven by popular clam
or, and it is quite likely that a repub-
lie established bv revolution would
lead to temporary anarchy. Never
theless, if the precedent of France
counts for nything the Danish dy-
nasty, once ousted from the throne
will never come back. The march of
democracy is SO irresistible to-day
that even the gravest faults fail to re-
verse its progress. There is little
doubt but that Srazll enjoyed as much
freedom and much better order under
the good Dom Pedro II. than under
the military dictators who have gov
erned her since his abdication,yet the
has never been restored
And the Greeks are people far SUI

and education, and consequently more
