A PRoTECTORATE FoR CUBA.

1t is evident from the discussion going
on in the newspapers of Cuba that al of
the Cubans are not in favor of absolute
independence. II is probable, if the truth
could be obtained, chat it would be found
that a majority of the property owners
and business men are against independ-
ence. The reason they are is that they
want a stable and liberal government, and
that they do not believe they are likely
90 have il the Cubans have entire control
of the public affairs of the island.
Another reason they are against indie
pendence is, that Cuban sugar would not
be admitted to any foreign market free of
duty. If Cuba were annexed to the
United states the Cuban sugar crop would
be worth to the sugar growers of the is
land almost double what it would be I'M
der an independent form of government.
That fact is bound eventually to hove a
tremendous influence in settling the ques-
ton Of the future government of the is
land.
Naturally the Cubans who have nothing
at stake, and the observation-disclosures who
hope TO get into good positions under an
independent government-are insisting
upon independence. The most of those
vho have nothing 20 lose in the event q
mistake is made, give the question of the
kind of government the island ought to
have very little thought They have been
demanding independence for many years,
and they undoubtedly believe that they
want independence. 1t is probable that
If the island were thoroughly canvassed
and the question of a government for the
island Were fairly and strongly presented,
a majority of the people would be in favor
of annexation.
At present. however. the majority are in
favor of independence and it is probable
that government will have to be given
a trial 1t may be that that is the short
est way to show the Cubans that self
government is not the best thing for
them.
There is no doubt that there are infu-
entail men at the back of the movement
against independence. The arguments,
which are appearing against it, while pre-
scented in a way TO leave a doubt as to
whether those who are presenting them
care very much whether or not the Gu
bans are given absolute control of their
own public affairs, are undoubtedly hav-
ing their effect They are making the
Cubans think, and when Cubaus study the
question, stripped Of al sentiment they
cannot help seeing that annexation would
be better for them and for the island.
American institutions are being gradual
ly introduced. and the Cubans appear to
be taking 10 them very kindly. Before
they are aware of Il they Will find them
selves admirng these institutions, and
less inclined to demand independence. 1t
is said that at Santiago there is already
O very strong sentiment in favor of an
nexatIon. An excellent administration OF
public affairs has contributed to bring
about this result If the island should be
held for another year by our army. and
there should be as satisfactory a govern.
mcnt in an of the other provinces as there
Is IN Santiago, IL is doubtful II it would
Dee possible 90 secure "a majority vote in
che island in favor of Independence.

The Chicago beef packers say that the
supply OF beef cattle for the year is 5i,l0O
short Of the supply at the corresponding
period of last year, that the demand is
greater than has been the case for a num-
Der of years, and that beef cattle are
worth $5.25 per 100 pounds, which is 81
cents higher than the average for last
year. A prime steer fit for beef, they saw,
is worth IS TO $40 more now than a yeal
ago. They give these figures as showing
why the price of beet has advanced. and
that part Of the advance is going into
the pockets of the producers with the ex-
ception OF TWO packing houses it is said
that the packers do not own catt}e on the
ranges, but buy their stock in the open
markets Ii IS predicted that the demand
for beef viii continue strong for consid-

THE TROUnLE IN NI,INTosH.

We agree with Capt. Grayson in respect
to the trouble in Mcintosh county The
situation has not at any time been as
serious as it has seemed to be to some
of those on the ground. No doubt the ne
groes were excited and aggressive. and
in some instances Intentionally offensive;
but as far as we are yet informed there
was at no time any serious attempt at
organized resistance to the authorities
There was bad feeling. and no doubt there
were "A few negroes who were anxious to
bring on a conflict between the whites and
the negroes. That is shown by the action
of Deicgal in shooting to death Deputy
Sheriff Townsend and wounding Deputy
Sheriff Hopkins. But the evidence is yet
wanting that there was any widespread
and organized movement among the ne
groes to defy the authorities and commit
acts Of lawlessness.
No doubt the military has had a good
effect in preventing lawlessness, and for
that reason it is well that soldiers were
ordered to Darien. 1t seems to us, how
ever, that if the leading negroes in Darien
had offered to assist the sheriff when it
was known that there was opposition on
the part of some of their race to bringing
Delegal to Savannah, there would have
been no trouble whatever. Later nforma-
ton shows that we were mistaken in stat
ing that the sheriff had no apprehension
that an attempt would be made to lynch
Delegal 1t seems he had apprehension
that an attempt to lynch him would be
made and that was the reason he pro-
posed to remove him to a place of safe
~, but he had no fears that the people
of Darien would attempt to commit vio-
lence. He was afraid that a mob might
be collected in the country The charge
that had been lodged against the prisoner
was one that would afford mob an ex-
cuse for taking the law into its own hands.
The military will maintain order There
is no disposition on the part of the negroes,
as far as can be learned, to interfere with
the officers in the discharge of their duties
or with the courts. The military will re-
main until the slayer of Deputy Sheriff
Townsend is tried, and until the cases of
the rngleaders of the disturbances in Da-
rien are disposed Of If the situation is
| handled with wisdom, justice, firmness
and conservatism, there will be no more
trouble in Mcintosh county growing out
of the Delegal affair.

AFRAID OF THEIR OWN WITNESS.

One Of the most remarkable feature or
the Dreyfus case is that the state is
afraid of its own Witnesses. The lawyers
for Dreyfus have been trying for days to
get an order from the courtmardal to
send a couple If disinterested physicians
to examine Du Patty de Clam, who is one
of the chief witnesses for the state, but
who it is claimed. is too I'll to attend the
courtmartial The state has the testimony
which he gave ia the first trial and this
it proposes 10 read at the present trial
The counsel for Dreyfus contend that the
testimony he gave in the first uial was
composed Of falsehoods. and that it can
be shown that it was If an opportunity
is given to cross-examine him.
But it appears that the state and the
military party don't want him cross-exam-
ined and he himself doesn't want TO be
cross examined Is he so i'll that he can
not attend the trial? His physicians say
he is, but the Dreyfus party don't be
lieve any such thing. Therefore they ask
that two disinterested physicians be APP
pointed to report on his illness.
The refusal OF the courtmartial TO grant
this very moderate and just request Is
calculated to create the impression that
the truth would be dragged out Of Du
Patty de Clam if he were TO be subjected
to cross examination, and that the bottom
would drop out of the case against Drey-
fus. The fact that on Saturday Col Maui
rel was shown up in a very bad light
Maurel, who was president of the first
courtmartial-makes the military party
very scary about permitting any more Of
their Witnesses than they can help being
cross examined

A farmer living near Americas is grow
ing 5000 pounds of seed okra under con-
tract for a seed house in Richmond Last
year the same farmer raised and sold
solid carload of pearl millet seed. He is
making money by raising seeds in large
quantities. Why are not more of our
farmers raising seeds for market? A great
many of them send to Philadelphia or
Detroit for seeds of the commonest vege-
tables, which they plant in their gardens,
paying at the rate of % cents TO 81 per
ounce for them Is there either sense or
economy in this sort of thing? The North
ern raised seeds are not a whit better
than might be raised in Georgia, and it
often occurs that Georgia raised seed
is better adapted to the native soil ana
climate than any other. Georgia ought to
be furnishing watermelon seed for the
whole country, but it is a fact that in the
city of Savannah, and doubtless in every
other Georgia city and town likewise
there are every spring many pounds Of
watermelon seed imported from Northern
seed farms.

capital needed, ii is said is at hand, and
the mill will be erected soon. 1t is to be
hoped that the Information is correct.
Mount Pleasant is across the harbor from
the city of Charleston, where the supply
of sea island cotton would be Immediately

cheap There are many reasons for think
ing that a wen managed thread mill at
that place would prove a success. And
The success of a thread mill at Mount
Pleasant would induce the planting of
other mills of the kind elsewhere in the
South-in Savannah, for one place where
the Georgia and Florida sea islands find

ton facilities are superior.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal looks
hopefully 10 the future of cotton. 1t says:
ION the whole there is reason for optim-
ism on the part of the cotton producers
both for the immediate present and the
years to come The price is abnormany
low and cannot remain so in view of the
fact that prices on all companion prod
ucts are running at high tide. Nor is it
possible for production to keep pace with
the increased consumption under our new
and vrile policy of commercial and ter
ritorial expansion. We are producing cot
ton for ourselves and the cotton wearing
ne tons and we are going into the mar
kets of the world to sell il, eliminating
the European broker"
