Reflections oil a Bachelor.

Babies generally remind You n lot
more Of curdled milk than they DO Of
angels.
Going without love never makes a
man most happy, but it generally
keeps him least miserable.
When a man under 80 thinks he is in
love he could have the toothache on
both sides at once and never know it.
There are very few women who can
help insinuating to a man that they
don't think another woman's hair
waves naturally.
You can always tell whether a wo-
man has got any diamonds by what
she says about the new style of wear
ing them in the morning.
The trouble about living thing
| down is that it generally means living
yourself up.
When a man gets ready to let a
woman have her way, he has got ready
| to get out Of it.
When a man is getting married in a
church he feels about the same as if he
Vas being stuffed and put in q glass
! case.
When q woman meets another wo-
man in the street car and insists on
| paying the fare for both of them, she
will always hate her if she let's her
| Every woman loses some respect for
her husband when she discovers that
! he doesn't know any more than she
does about keeping the water pipes

As n permanent possession Cuba would
be of infinitely mure value TO us than the

CUBAN ANNEXATION.

A Washington despatch to the st. Louis
5lobs- Democrat alleges that the policy OF
she administration is to bring about the
annexation of Cuba, not by force, but by
inltivating sentiment among the
Cubans in favor Of that policy. Two
important steps In this direction
lre now in contemplation, the first the
organization of IA native constabulary and
corps of $1,000 native guards. The
second will be the census and the enroll
ment of the resident population. Cuba
has never had a census taken, except nc
cording to siipshod Spanish methods. The
United States will at the proper time,
probably during the coming fall, conduct
= census. Native Cubans will be the
iirect~d and supervised by Americans.
On this csnsus will be based an enroll
ment Of voters preparatory to Cuba's first
siection. What shall be the qualifications
Of Suffrage Is yet to be determined. but
universal suffrage is not fav ored. Prop
erty or educational qualifications, or both
may be established This is what the
American commissioners have provided
in the plan for the government of Hawaii
Conditions in Cuba are much the same
II the franchise Is limited by property or
by educational qualifications In Cuba the
result of vote on the question of annex
ation can be foreoasted with absolute GER
tainty now. There is no doubt where
the prospective voters possessing such
qualifications stand. Coercion has no
place in the Administrations annexation
policy. But in all Legitimate ways, from
this time forward, the idea of ultimate
organic union of Cuba to the United
States will be fostered by the executive.
Some very strong arguments can be
offered in favor of the annexation of
Cuba, If it can be secured by the volun-
tary action of its Inhabitants. At the
rate American capital is pouring into the
island its property ami industrial inter-
ests will before many years be completely
controlled by Americans Then too, 1t is
practically certain that when its sani-
tasy condition is improved the island
will have large American population
for considerable part of the year at
least. In one way and another the
people of the United States are sure to be
closely identified with the future Of this
island Besides it may become of great
Importance to us TO control Cuba ms
a means Of defence. 1t lies at the en-
trance of The Gulf Of Mexico, and its pos
session In time of war would be of great
value to US. The strongest objection to

The revenues of the government are
showing pleasing increase. For March
they reached an average Of million and
q half of dollars day. The normal peace
expenditures of the government should
be about a million dollars day. Thus
this rate OF revenue leaves half million
dollars day to be used in restoring order
In Cuba and civilizing the Filipinos.
The Spanish war has so far cost us about
ssa millions of dollars. 1t was not
thought, at the time Congress adjourned,
that our present revenue raising system
would meet the expenditures before us.
