vcrsary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln
was observed in this city and vicinity
Members of the Middlesex club celebrated
the occasion tonglt at the Brunswick. The
first speaker was Governor Hastings, who
was followed by General b. f. Tracy
General Tracy spoke of the great growth
of and acquisition OF territory by the
United States since the declaration OF In
dependence and said Consider the pres
ent situation in Cuba. Here is one OF the
richest and most fertile islands in the
world lying at our very door, the key to
the Caribbean sea, the Gulf o. Mexico and
the lsthmus of Panama. We long since
proclaimed to the world that no nation
other than Spain should be permitted to
obtain control of Cuba. For three years
its people have been In struggle to
achieve their Independence. The story OF
their suiferings has shocked humanity but
in spite OF our deep interest in the pros
perity OF Cuba and our sympathy for its
struggling patriots, We have adhered faith
fully TO our international obligations and
have vigorously abstained from interview
tion. May God speed the day when peace
with liberty shall gladden. the hearts of
that brave and long suffering people.
There is one other measure of vital
moment TO the future prosperity and safe
ty OF this Nation which should be Under
taken l'-sore the close Of the present CEN
fury, and that Is the construction OF the
Nicaragua canal. The vast consequences
TO this Nation that hang upon its success
full accomplishment can not be oyerest-
mated. The canal should be built and
controlled by The United States alone The
annexation - the Hawaiian Islands and
the beginning of the Nicaragnan canal
