POLICY AS TO CUBA.
The Nation Must Keep Its Pledge to the
World.

The president speaks of the qualification
with which he announces the restoration
of friendly relations with Spain, result ng
III the evacuation of Porto Rico and the
withdrawal of Spanish authority from the
island OF Cuba. he refers to the pledge
of the United States made at the outset
of the war with Spain, disclaiming any
disposition or intention to exercise SOW
erignity, jurisdiction or control over Cubl
except for the pacification thereof and
the asserted determination of this govern
ment when tnIs was accomplished to leave
the government and control of the island
to its people. as a resolution of the high
est honorable obligation that it must
bc certainly kept. He dwells on
the administrative measures adopted in
Cuba and aims TO fit it for its regenerated
existence. This nation has assumed be-

WHEAT CROP.

All the signs indicate "a good wheat
crop this year. In the first place deer
SHOWS help the wheat by keeping thu
ground warm, and if this be true this
winter has been particularly fdvocaDlt
for wheat, for we have had an unusua
supply of snow Then again here il
another sign. in which the old Dutch
farmers of the piedmont portion 1f this
State have great faith, and that IS me
kind of weather there is on Ash Wednes
day. They say that if Ash Wednesda,
is rainy and disagreeable day the
wheat crop win not be good. But i
that day is bright there will be a goot
wheat crop. As yesterday, which wa
Ash Wednesday, was a bright lay VI
may expect according to this old sign
an abundant wheat crop next June. We
sincerely hope this may prove true.
