pOratiOn court OF the place wherein the

THE PRESIDENT AND cunA.

The President. In that part Of his mes
sage which treats of the cuban question
declares that the pledge contained IN tn
Cuban re- soluiiou~ T. 90 Ire hishes, hon
orabIe obligation. gnl must be sacredly
kept" None the less. It viii strike the
| average reader that he wouldn't he DIS
appointed IL things worked around 80
| that we could slip out OF the pledge.
| Clearly the hope of annexation has found
| lodgment In the Presidents breast seeing
! that further on he says:
"The new Cuba yet to arise from the
| ashes of the past must needs be bound to
us by ties of singular intimacy ana
strength. II It's enduring welfare Is to be
assured. Whether those ties shall be or
ganic or conventional, the destinies OF
Cuba are In some rightful form and man
ner irrevocably linked with our own but
how and how far is for the future to de-
termine in the ripeness of events
And clearly also he would have US give
the leayen Of annexation full time In
which to work. For he adds
"Our mission. TO accomplish which we
fulfilled by turning adrift any loosely
framed Commonwealth TO face the vicis-
STUDIES which too often attend weaker
States, whose natural wealth and album
dant resources are offset by the incongrui-
ties of their political organization and
the recurring occasions for internal rival
ries TO sap their strength and dissipate
their energies"
Lord Salisbury, at the Guildhall ban
quet in 1856. in speaking TO the question
Of British evacuation Of Egypt, said:
1.-THE different cabinets have all con-
sidered that our sojourn in Egypt should
not continue, except for limited time
only it Is not a question OF limit OF
time, but limit TO be marked by the
achievement of the work undertaken"
All the world knows how time served
to afford Great Britain excuse for dis
regarding her pledge respecting Egypt,
and to change the character of her I'M
dertaking. In their essence there Is
striking analogy between the position
taken by Lord Salisbury in 1886 as to the
evacuation Of Egypt and the position
taken by President Mckinley in 1899 re-
specting Cuban independence; and. con-
sidering our drift towards imitation OF
British policy. it is not impossible that
analogy may 60 further. AT any rate, no
one can analyze what the President says
about Cuba without being convinced that
he sees, and not sadly. the prospect of
times bringing about conditions that
will absolve us from our pledge, alter
the character of "our mission" and in
vite US to place our imperial arm around
the island.

Rev. Mtssrs. Ninnick. Moore, and

The new pastor of Marshall-Street
Christian church Will probably be one OF
the three following ministers: Rev. Har-
ry Minnick. OF Lubec,. Me-; Rev. a. X
Moore. OF Memphis, Tenn, or j. T. L.
Hundley, OF Hanover county Va.
The committee from the church to
nominate pastor has reached decision.
and will report to the church next Sun
day. This committee has also agreed not
to take the public into their confidence
till that time. All Of the gentlemen
named above are we'll known in Rich
mond, and IL is believed either OF them
would please the congregation. Mr.. Min
nick has been pastor in Virginia. and Is
represented as a good preacher and pas
tor. Rev Mr.. Moore has been pastor at
Marshall-Street, and was greatly instru-
mental in building their present house Of
worship. He ID also a great friend OF
Rev. Carey f. Morgan, pastor of the
seventh-Street church. Rev. Mr.. Humid
ley is the Tidewater District evangelist
OF the Christian Church, and is pastor
OF a church in Hanover county.
Rev. Mr. Moore would be good guess
as the man the committee has agreed
upon.
