DOWN ON THE CUBANS.

We hear Il great deal these days about
the failure of the Cuban troops to fight.
Yesterdays Washington Post had a car
toon representing Uncle Sans big wagon
of supplies and provisions surrounded
by Cubans, with this inscription, Where
the Cuban troops fought gloriOusly.'
We went to war because these men
were being starved to death. 1t will
be well to give them enough to eat and
give them arms before expecting them
to fight in Il kind of warfare to which
they are not accustomed.
Although we went to war under solemn
pledge not to annex Cuba, there is /;
strong sentiment now in favor of an
%neXation. If it can be shown that the
Cubans did not measure up to their
duty, the anneXationists will have a
powerful argument. See?

81 BELIEVE IN GOD."

War brings out other things than evil.
1t not only puts men to the test and
discloses bravery that makes ali the
world applaud, but it shows that the men
who are the %fiercest in battle are humble
Christians. In publishing the account
of the conduct Of the men on the Texas,
this paragraph appeared in the press dis
patches:
Capt. Philip called all hands to the
quarter deck, and with barred head
thanked God for an almost bloodless
victory. Il "ant to make public ac-
acknowledgements here he said, that l
believe in God the Father Almighty.
| want all you officers and men to lift
your hats and from your hearts offer 81
lent thanks to the Almighty" All hats
were off. There was a moment or two
of absolute silence, and then the over
wrought feelings of the ships company
relieved themselves in three hearty
cheers for their beloved commander"
There is nothing in the history of
Cromwell's Ironsides more inspiring that
this recognition of the God of battle.

THE ANNEXATION Of HAWAII.

The Hawaiian islands have been an
pie now enjoy the glory OF beng cItl-
zens of the foremost Republic in the
world. 1t is to be regretted that the
resolutions of annexation were pressed
and carried as a wal measure. Their
consideration should have been post
poned. We have long regarded the an
nexation Of these islands as a new and
dangerous departure from the settled
policy of the United States. Mr.. Reed
said that to annex Hawaii meant to an
mex leprosy and Cuban annexation
would mean the annexation of yellow
fever.
The first has been accomplished. and
it is to be hoped that the Speaker of the
House erred when he said our chief
addition would be leprosy. The argu-
Iment of Senator Morgan that. unless we
annexed Hawaii now when it was offered
to us. some other country would possess
it. and later. when we needed Il cOaling
station in the Pacific, we would find
ourselves without one, carried the day
for annexation. With Hawaii we have
added $4,000. 900 to our national debt,
we must spend millions of money to for
tify the island and improve Pearl har-
Dor. and we have added problems which
may tax our posterity to solve.
The country will watch with interest
the methods employed to govern Ha-
wall. 1t is to be hoped that the expert
ment Of government at long taw on
those islands will be given a fair trial
before we undertake to incorporate the
Philippine and other islands. If we are
to take the doubtful step to Imperialism.
let us not be p%recipitate about it.
