1t is reported from Havana that
American officers In control OF affairs
there are living in luxury at the ex>
peDse Of the Cuban people; some Of
them even drawing double pay, which
is a clear violation OF the law, this
being expressly forbidden. 1t is also
charged that Gen. Brooke has been ex-
ceptionally extravagant. with Cuban
funds, having expended 100000 on the
palace he occupies, formerly that Of
the Spanish military governor.
When there are so many officials who
can easily obtain fortune from the
Cuban revenues it will be long time
before the sacred promise of congress
is complied with and the Cubans allow
ed to govern themselves. In fact the
whole So called expansion movement is
being doomed by the corruptionists
who expect to get rich at the expense
OF the conquered people.

GOVERNOR LONGING.

It has been reasonably certain for
some time that Judge A. H. Longino
would be the choice of the Democratic
Convention for governor. When the
delegates gathered at Jackson there
was strong effort TO combine all the
Longino opposition, but the attempt
was futile, and before the convention
assembled the names OF Critz, Varda-
man, Powell and Montgomery were
withdrawn, and Judge Longino was
nominated by accIamation. The SEN
T1NEL believes that the convention has
chosen wisely and well, and, moreover,
it has nominated the candidate OF the
people. We have the highest respect
for all the honorable and brilliant gen.
tlemen who aspired to this position,
but almost.from the time that he an
nounced mis- candidacy we have main
tanned that Judge Iongino would and
should be the nominee. Judge Lon
cino is TOO we'll known to the people
Of Mississippi to need notice here,
but our opinion Of him, as published
in the SENTINEL Of January l4th,
under the heading, Judge Longino
for Governor" is our opinion still. AT
that early period OF the campaign, the
SENTILEL said:
Judge A. H Longino, of Greenville,
has definitely announced his candidacy
for the Office of Governor of the State.
Judge Lorgino is a distinguished Dem
ocrat. of eminent abilities and fine rec>
ord His candidacy will be a notable
one, and will attract to him the SIPS
port OF many citizens who desire to ele-
vate to public Office men of sterling in
tegrity, great industry and superior
talents. We can say with perfect fair
ness to all, that none of the dstin"
guished Mississippians who have been
mentioned in connection with this ex-
alted office would make better, ,strong~
er or purer executive than would
Judge Longino. He is pre-eminently
a gentleman OF common sense and encr-
gy, and these valuable qualities are
coujoined with perfect honesty and
fearlessness. He would be a ecorkinQ
governor, with abilities equal to any
emergency, and a determined patriot
ism which would make the welfare of
the State and people the supreme con-
sideration, regardless OF any personal
advantage. 1t is d tribute to the splen-
did abilities, capacities and moral
worth Of Judge Longino that his cans
didacy has elected SO many warm and
unsolicited encolniulns from the press
and people.

We who live in the villages and the
country should be thankful that our
lot is cast in such pleasant places,
close to natures heart and freed from
the straishtlaced conventionalities OF
life. There is an atmosphere within
the walls Of large cities which deadens
the pure and good In man aud quickens
the natural tendencies toward evil.
The toilers there know nothing OF the
bright side Of life and their existence
is passed in an artificial world-they
live only by the sweat OF their brow,
and they live only to sweat. The farm
er in his cabin has pure air, pure
water, health that puts color in the
cheek, strength in the arm and happi-
ness in the heart, and he has the as
surance that the soil will always yield
him living. He sees less Of the
grandeur Of the works Of man but he
feels the mightiness of nature and is
happier than he who swelters in city
tenements. The country is the only
place on earth for the poor man, and we
are all poor.

To all OF Us at times this old world

can believe that everything happens
for the best, and that out Of every evil
coraes a good. The cheerful man

Sunshine OF his nature around the lives

Therefore we envy the man who Is SO

Second only in Importance, in Cuba,

Cuba has never had really good roads,
III the American Interpretation of the
term, while roads that were fairly
good have been limited in number and
have recently been practically impassa-
ble, save at great Inconvenience, be-
eause of neglect aud lack of use in
oidental to the protracted rebellion
against Spain. Capital stands ready
to enter literally upon the labor of
agriculture, but an essential of ade-

satisfaction, is now being undertaken
by order of the War Department, ope-

governors. It's completion will mark
