In the wisdom OF the position he took in

the independence of the Cubdns, and
he sees in the present condition of at
fairs down there additional reasons for
believing that he and his associates were
right in advocating that justice be done
the Cuban patriots,
The Ohio senator declares with force,
and no man is more iOrcib!e in stating
his views. that congress is not going to
tolerate the administration scheme Of
EgyptiZing Cuba. We want no standing
army Of occupation there, he conteuds
The proper course with regard to Cuba
is the practical recognition OF that in
words in the resolution of congress,
which said: "The people of Cuba are,
and Of right ought to be, free and indie
pendent"
The senator takes direct issue with
tho administration plans looking to a
large standing army and the location
Of big part Of it in Cuba for an indcfi-
mite period. Senator Foraker is not al
ways right nor is he always on the pop
ular side; but he can feel secure in his
position this time. He is right, and the
people are with him.
Despite all the efforts that have been
