Everything that affects the welfare
OF the people Is a legitimate subject
of comment to the real statesman.
The statesman Is not narrow man.
1t is the politician who is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as 1t Is, and seeks, as far as Is in his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in its various forms Is rap
Idly becoming national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know OF its virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca

CUBA WILL BE ANNEXED.

Not by force will Cuba become
a part of the territory of the United
States. The operation of natural
laws is something not TO be denied
or reversed. AS an intelligent
people, wishing to advance in the
world, to secure peaceful conditions
and sound prosperity, the Cubans, at
some time not distant, will welcome
a complete incorporation of their
is land with this republic. Self-interest
will decide the matter. Sentimental
ism is running its course, and the
common sense facts of the situation
are developing from month to month.
There are in Cuba a number of
elements politically antagonistic to
each other. Provincial jealousies
are threatening. Old race prejudices
and .feuds must be restrained with q
firm hand. Cuba's business relations
are mainly and unalterably with this
country. In spite of all the burdens
imposed by Spain, the bulk of Cuba's
foreign commerce was with US. Now
that the wall is broken down the
currents of trade begin to run free.
A great volume of American capital
will 90 to Cuba If the island elects to
remain under our flag. But Ameri-
can enterprise must necessarily hold
back as long as a chance remains
that Cuba will choose to be tempo
Tarily another turbulent Spanish
American republic.
We are pledged to give Cuba a
stable government. By no possibil-
ity can this be construed to mean
that our forces will withdraw entire
ly from the island as long as the
seeds of civil war are alive. A
stable, free government Is one con-
dCcted securely and harmoniously by
a majority of the electorate, and by
= full recognition of the rightful
power of majerities. No govern
ment is stable unless it is able to
perform international duties, to pro-
tect life and property, and to defend
itself against outside aggression.
Cuba needs the sheltering arm of
the United States. 1t needs the
freedom of trade with us that prevails
among our own states. That can be
secured only by annexation. Should
the island become separate nation
ality it must face the same tariff
regulations as Canada, Jamaica and
other foreign, though contiguous
regions. Will the Cubans, after a
calm consideration of the advantages
of union with this country, vote for
what is most dangerous and unprofi-
table to themselves? It seems in
incredible.
Annexation with the United States
is high privilege and one that we
are not offering to any people but
the Cubans. We should not agree
to annex Canada except through
cautious negotiations, and these
might result in a failure to agree.
Cuba stands in different light. It's
status, as far as we are concerned, is
distinct from that of any other spot
on earth. We have given much in
life and treasure for its liberation.
Its offered cesslon was refused be-
cause we had promised its people a
