SPANISH DELAYS.

1t is a well known saying that the Span
ish, more than any other people, are prone
to 'put of till tomorrow" that which is
sought to be done today. 1t has been re-
duced to maxim by their statesmen and
they are adopts in its practice.
Spain will never grant independence to
Cuba. She never granted it to any of her
colonies. She will promise and always
find an excuse for delaying fulfilment
The more promises she makes the more
excuses she will have for delay. In fact,
it seems always to have been to make
promises and then to make the nom fulfil
ment Of one the excuse for the non fulfil
ment OF the rest, so that we see that the
more she promises the less she means to
do anything.
Now, this Spanish characteristic Is so
well known that we have often wondered
why our government has had so much
patience when Spain has made and not
kept her promises regarding Cuba. Can it
be possible that she can fool all of our
presidents 90 the time?
At the beginning Of spring we conf
IDENTIFY expected that by this time the
government at Washington would have
done something positive. The commits
sioner sent to Cuba has returned and re-
ported. The report is of a nature as to
forbid any doubt of the fact that Spain
has forfeited all right to Cuba, and the
American people are willing, in fact eager,
to act. II we delay much longer, we can
scarcely have right to say that an inter-
ference will be based on any but sordid
motives, because we have had plentitude
OF knowledge OF the barbarity existing
there, and have not raised q hand to stor

FROM THE BOARD OF sELECTMEN
WAKEFIELD, MASS

Our acquaintance with Wood, Harmon a
Co. dates from the fall of 1889. At that time
they opened large tract OF land Containing
about 100 acres. In the southerly part OF our
town, called Greenwood
The last two years have convinced us that
opened an era OF prosperity In Greenwood
never before known; To the largely In
creased valuation OF that part of our town
(l7o, ,000) this firm Is undoubtedly entitled to
the credit. We can endorse them as success
ful suburban builders.
We also believe that any community would
be benefited by their presence, and can rec.
comend their property to home seekers as
being an investment that will with all rea
sonable certainty, increase In value.
