Gur Duty in Cuba.


Various publications are appearing,
not only abroad but also in our own
country, calculated to throw 0cubt up-
on the good faith of American inter-
vertion in Cuba. 1t is asserted, for in
stance, before the attempt has been
made, that it is not possible to estab-
lish stable government among the
present inhabitants of the island and
that already, ere the armed forces of
Spain have retired, the administration
had concluded that its military occu-
patton must be preparatory to annex
alton only, all thought of Cuban inde-
pendence having been abandoned. In
different guises this report may be ex-
pected to re-appear at frequent inter-
walls for some time to come inasmuch
as it is the work of professional mis-
chief makers probably hired to increase
the difficulties confronting us in Cuba.
1t needs only to be said of this kind
of representation that it proceeds in
utter ignorance of the underlying quail
tiles of the American character. The
American people are not knaves, say
ing one thing while meaning another;
and they are not "qutters." They
may meet with disappointments with
respect to the neighboring people
whom they went to war to free: they
may have moments of self reproach,
disgust and impatience, but behind II
all is a buttressing wall of moral
strength which will keep them faithful
to their pledge and save them from
the dishonor of its deliberate viola
tion, Their duty in Cuba is not so cas-
lily changed that the first adverse
glimpse will justify them in overthrow
ing utterly the purpose for which they
combatted Spain and warrant the sub
stition of programme of forcible an
nexation once Characterized by the pre-
sent chief executive as criminal ag-
gression."
The path mapped out by our duty
in Cuba is straight and unmistaka BILE.
IT is to superimpose civilization upon
chaos and when that is done, retire
unless pettioned by the great mass of
natives to stay. Lawlessness must be
repressed with vieor, filth must be re-
moved and modern sanitation enforced,
rights of property must be established
and protected and the legitimate as
pirations of enterprise and self i'm
provement must be given ont only op-
portunity but also encouragement. 1t is
contrary both to testimony and to
common sense that among the popula- =
tion of Cuba when thus liberated from
the paralyzing horrors of a most san
culinary. vindctive and devastating
war there cannot be found a sufficient
representation of character and intelli-
gence TO form the nucleus of stable
statehood.
Fortunately in the personality OF
William Mckinley the advocates of
good faith in our treatment of the Gu
bans have an ample guarantee against
perfidy.

One of the first acts of General Mer-
ritt upon taking command of the army
of occupation at Manila was to issue
the following order:

RUDYARD'S REGRETS.

AT a dinner of the KiplinG club of Yale
university the following verses were read
as an answer by Rudyard Kiping to an
invitation to attend the celebrations:

r.aximum penalties known to military
law.
All the information thus far received
goes to show that the spirit of this
credtable order is being obeyed unani-
mously. The correspondence in foreign
papers dwells in terms of unusual
praise upon the exceptional humanity
which has characterized both our nav
al and our military operations in the
vicinity of Manila. In fact. the same
Is to be said of every portion of the
area of hostilities during the entire
period of the wars continuance. Not
even among our sailors. who might
have been pardoned little vindictive-
ness in memory of the treachery shown
to their comrades of the Maine, has
there been the slightest disposition,
outside of fighting hours, to exhibit
i'll will. our war has been in the high
est degree merciful war, just in chas-
tisement but generous afterward.
1t may be that so rare an example
will be lost upon the world, but we
doubt it.

and Deweyism. Monroeism protects the
independent nations of this continent in
working out their own destinies in their
own way, free from European interfer-
ence. Deweyism is the principle of eX-
pansion which, under the name of the
Monroe doctrine, first made the boun-
daries of the country conform to physical
geography by extending it's frontiers TO
the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific, AMI
which is now carrying the boundaries be-
yond these barriers. Deweyism supple
mcnts Monroeism and carries it to its
logical climax. They are different phases
of the same principle. Monroeism gave
the United States geogra phical and polit-
ical primacy in the western hemisphere,
while Deweyism is making it a great
world power.

The naval construction hoard has
resolved to recommend the construct
ion as soon as feasible of three more
battleships, larger, faster and more
powerful than any now afioat; also
three new first class cruisers of 10000
tons displacement and 22 knots speed !;
also a number of smaller cruisers rang
ing in size from ships like the Olympia
to ships like the Detroit. The esti-
mated cost of these various ships is
$S2000,000, or about what Is costs to
maintain our present navy one year;
but with them added to the ships we
now have our naval power, allowing
for superior efficiency, would be next
in> rank to that of France, If not next
to that of England. We can't foretell
what congress will do in these prem
ises but we can imagine what the ver-
Gict would be if the foregoing propos-
al were submitted for approval to a
vote of the people. The objectors would
hardly cast shadow.

Battleship boys, endless-chan dimes
and other elements at work in the in
terest of rebuilding the Maine will
doubtless vex the navy department for
some time to come. TIE presence of
persons of spasmodic temperament is
ALWAYS felt in times of unusual ex-
element. 1t is probable, however, that
in due time the various schemes now
on foot will die ont and that all will
realize that the best way to strengthen
the United States navy is by congress
sional appropriation backed by revenu :
tax and tariff receipts.

DEWEY.
From the Wilkes-BaIr ReccId.

Without dispute from any quarter, this
splendid naval officer will be recognized
as the man who deserves the highest hon
ors the government shall confer upon
any one for distinguished services in the
war with Spain. Brave, generous and un-
assuming. he has accomplished every
thing that could possibly have been eH-
pected of him, and infinitely more. His
ability as a commander was less of a sur
prise to the country than his marvellous
tact in avoiding complications that con-
stantly threatened him in his isolated po-
sition. Admiral Dewey has certainly
demonstrated that he is a remarkable
man, and the ration demands that as
soon as congress meets the highest naval
rank this country has known be revived
and Admiral Dewey be made the recipient
of its honors.

stable government which the United
States has pledged itself to help bring
into existence. In addition to thus pro-
viding for the soldiers Of the Cuban
army. the plan under consideration by
the president contemplates the mus
tering into the United States Volunteer
army of large number Of Cuban SOL
diers who are American citizens. Their
services could be used to good advan-
tage as members Of the various inn
mune regiments to he maintained on
garrison duty in Cuba. This arrange
ment is manifestly preferable to under
taking another military campaign
against our recent allies; and above
all, il is only fair.

FAR-REAcHING CONSEQUENCES
From the Washir gtcn star.

The war has shown that the world must
readiust its judgment of the American
influence beyond the national boundaries.
1t has strengthened the prestige of the
United States as has no other event or
series of events in its history. The great
republic is henceforth to be reckoned as
one of the material factors in universal
trade and progression. Best of ALL how
ever, has been the domestic uplift, the
freshening of the peoples national spirit,
the revelation TO the citizen of the ma
tion's duty and its power to perform
what is set for IL to do. The people have
been taken from their narrow ruts of
localism and selfshness and placed upon
broad, high plane of patriotism, and
filed with a thoughtful, but ardent, con-
fidence in their government and institu-
tions. and in the future of the great re-
public.

DEMINe, N. NJ, Dec. 5 5-Lord Nun
caster, lord lieutenant Of Cumberland
county, England, who had been search
ing throughout the United States for
the heir of his title and estates, has at
length found him In the person Of Ed
ward Pennington, Deming, N. NJ.
Lord Muncaster is childless and the
recent death of several English rela-
tives has narrowed the title down to
the American branch of the family.
This branch is descended from Capt.
Joseph Pennington, who came to Amer
in the last century.
Edward Pennington is the eldest di-
rect descendant of the old captain. He
is we'll known in southern New Mexico.
AS true blue American he feels some
what 10th to accept the honors that are
to be thrust upon him.
