The South Bend Tribune has an article
on the recent growth and business of that
city. which shows it TO be in a very pros
porous condition The present population
Is shown to be at least $500. while that
OF the towns and country tributary to the
city is fully $500 more. 1t appears that the
completion of certain suburban electric rail-
way lines has contributed materially to the
prosperity OF the city. TIL large manu-
featuring interests OF the city were never
in a more prosperous condition. and the
same may be said of other lines OF business.
The Tribune says: Few people are out OF
work II they really desire TO labor. Some
factories are running overtime with the
largest forces I'm their history, which,
coupled with the splendid state OF CONNER
cial interests. speaks volumes for South
Bend as an active. growing and progressive
business center"

Cuba and international Relations.


Ever since the discovery of America, four
hundred years ago, Cuba has held an i'm
portant relation not only TO. the adjacent
territory on the Gulf of Mexico, but to all
the territory along the east shores of the
new continent. No bit of territory has been
so much coveted, caused so many jealousies
or given the nations so much trouble. There
has always been a Cuban question. 1t was
the point of departure for Spanish expedi-
tions for exploration. 1t was the stopping
place and point of departure for all Spanish
ships in this quarter of the world. In war
fare 1t is the natural point of attack for
all the Atlantic coast south of the James
river and the gulf. AS a place of trade
England captured it in 1862 and soon re-
turned it. 1t was the center of Spanish rule
in the new continent. Later, when the
power of Spain had declined In America. all
nations were jealous OF each other lest one
should gain that important outpost. i'm the
ocean. The Monroe doctrine was invoked
partly TO warn other nations not TO inter-
fere in Cuba. About 1910 the United states
feared that Spain would sell Cuba TO Eng
land, and earlier England was fearful lest
France should obtain the Island. once the
United States. Great Britain and France
tried TO come to an agreement not 10 get
control CT Cuba. Later Presidents POLK.
Pierce and Buchanan attempted 10 purchase
the territory. Ever since the formation or
our government Spain In Cuba has been a
constant source of annoyance. Twice we
have been on the verge Of war with Spain
because of Cuban troubles. During the war
for the Union Spanish sympathy made Cuba
a cover for blockade-runners Revolution

into the contention, until. finally. after long
suffering. the United States ordered the
