OUR ALTITUDE TOWARDS CUBA.

Looking back over the century, we see
how often Cuba has been source Of
irritation. anxiety, and danger. Military,
commercial, economic, ethical, and polit-
zeal reasons have combined to compel
the United States to concern itself with
the neighboring Island. Nevertheless,
from 1875 tn 1895 there were but two
cases OF direct interference with the
destinies Of Cubt-bv President John
Quincy Adams In 1896, aud by President
Grant In 1873 We saw the Spanish
Empire break up without stirring for
Cuba we saw filibusters 10 1881, IL
1854, In lsGs-7s, In 1875, and the ad'
ministration never gave them aid o'
comfort; In 1854 and 1873 there came ex
cuses for war, and they were not claimed
Among the advocates OF the annexation
OF Cuba have been Presidents Jefferson
Monroe. John Quincy Adams, Jackson
Polk, Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan
and IL was not annexed.
Reviewing the whole period, II seems
an historical truth that-so far from the
Cuban policy OF the United States havipi
been one Of aggression--few nation:
have shown more good temper toward 1
troublesome neighbor, more patience
with diplomatic delays, or more self
restraint over coveted possession. Ever
slavery, though IL could prevent, coult
not procure, annexation. The Cubsr
controversy has not been sought by tho
United States: Il arises out OF thu
geographical and political conditions o.
Americs. As the French orator said II
1893: II do not accuse the King; | d.
not accuse the nation; do not accuse
the people; accuse the situation. -
