Those who think he CUBAN problem is
practically solved vii. lind themselves mis-
takea. What is going 10 happen in re-
spect to Cuba as soon as Congress meets?
A strong demand VIII be made that the
island be allowed sef-government and il
viii be urged that as Congress pledged it.
self TO see that Cuba had her freedom the
pressure in behalf of self-gOvernment VIII
be very strong. And there VIII be
strong .obby present to urge Independence
for the island. Congress may resist the
pressure, but the probabilities are that il
will not. Demagogues. for purposes of
their own, will begin to say that the gov
eminent is showing bad faith in withhold
ing self-government from the people.
Suppose the demand for Independence Is
granted before the people are really ready
for it, what will be the result? The SOL
der element viii get control or political
affairs, and the first thing it will do will
be to bond the island for the many mil
lions claimed 70 be- due the soldiers. And
then will come demands for pensions
Taking into account the fact that the
bonds. unless guaranteed by the United
States, would have TO be sold at a discount
on account of the fear Of revolutions. the
chances are that a debt of 500, 900 or
more would be fastened on the island, and
absolutely nothing would be done as a re-
suit of the debt for public improvements
or for the development of the islands re-
sources.
And what would become of the fran
chises for which there has been such
great demand since our government has
had possession of the island, and which
the government has been saving for the
benefit of the Cuban people? The indica-
tons are that they would be disposed OF
by adventurers who would get into power
and the money would find IFS way into
their pockets-at least, the greater part of
it would. When the island had been skin
ned, so to speak, and loaded with debt,
then there would come a revolution, and
we should have to interfere again. But
the condition of affairs would be worse
then than it was when we took possession
after the surrender of the Spaniards.
We have got to keep faith with the Gu
bans, of course, but we can do that with
out permitting them to be robbed and
ruined by adventures and men who have
nothing at stake in the island We can
retain possession until the element that is
tit to govern stands a first class chance to
get control of the proposed government.
If the present uncertainty about the fu,
ture of the island continues, Cuban prog
ress is going to be very slow, because
those who have money are afraid TO in
vest it. They will not invest it until
they feel assured that the island will have
an intelligent and stable government. If
we have the wisdom to retain control of
the island until the people have time to
adjust themselves to the new conditions.
and to think over the situation carefully.
Cuba will not become a separate nation.
1t will became state in the union.

TO ADVERTISE GEORGIA.

John Wanamaker spends hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year in advertis-
ing, with the result that he gets back
Mr. Wanamaker attributes considerable
measure of his success to a liberal use of
printers Ink.
The state of Georgia has an infinitely
larger stock of valdables to offer to the
public than Mr. Wanamaker has; and the
most of them are vastly superior bargains
10 any that ever went on Mr.. Wanna
makers famous counters. Suppose the
state of Georgia were to adopt the sue
cessful merchants plan of advertising lib
orally her bargains, would she not also
reap great profits? 1t is not suggested, of
course, that Georgia advertise remnant
sales, and run special marked-down "for-
this-day-only'' prices. That would noe
suit Georgia's business. But there is a
kind of advertising that would suit il adj
mirably, and it is understood that the
next legislature will be asked TO appropri-
ate some money 90 be expended for print
ers ink for the benefit of the state.
What is wanted is a neat concise, ac-
curate, exhaustive handbook of the states
resources, climate, etc, for gratultous
distribution to home-seekers, capitalists
and investigators generally, through the
state agricultural department Inquiries
are constantly being made respecting these
matters by persons in the North and West.
and the person addressed is nearly always
at loss to know just where to get hold
OF the information desired The publica-
ton of pamphlet such as that sugges ted
would cover the ground. Nearly every
other Southern state has provided such liz
erature, and it is being scattered broad
cast. The pamphlet could probably be
prepared and printed for a few hundred
dollars, The investment would be a good
one, however, If 1t cost several thousands
of dollars. Indeed, Georgia would do a
wise thing if she appropriated a good
round sum every year during the next
ten years for advertising purposes. The
world does not know what a great. rich
and promising state Georgia really is.
hence the world must be told. One Of
the energetic promoters OF the scheme for
handbook of the state is Mr.. Edwin
Brobston of Brunswick
