SENATOR BEvERIDGE AND CUBAN
ANNEXATION.

In predicting and advocating the ulti-
mate annexation of Cuba to the United
States Senator Beveridge was very careful
to explain that he spoke for himself alone
and that he was not counseling any viola
ton of the pledge OF the United States
guaranteeing Cuban independence. The
pledge having been made he would have
IL strictly complied with and leave the
question of future annexation to the free
choice Of the Cuban people. but he did not
hesitate to say that he regarded the max
ing of the pledge as an inconsiderate act
on the part Of Congress and an error which
might entail years of friction and embar-
rassment before it could be remedied. The
Journal is in full accord with Senator Bev-
eridge in this view of the case. 1t is clear
ly of opinion that Cuba ought TO belong
to the United States and will ultimately be
annexed. This has been the logic of the
situation from the formation of the gov
eminent, and never more so than at pres
ent when the United States is engaged
in making good its pledge of Cuban indie
pendence. IL is as true to-day as 1t was
when Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1923 that
the acquisition OF Cuba. 'in the control
il would give us over the Gulf of Mexico
and the countries and isthmus bordering
on IT. would fill up the measure OF our po-
litical well-being." Almost every Pres-
dent from that time TO the present and
many OF our foremost statesmen have held
the same view.
1t is unfortunate for all concerned that
in making declaration OF war against
Spain Congress was stampeded. as IL were,
into sacrificing craftsmanship to sentiment
and indefinitely postponing the acquisition
OF Cuba by guaranteeing its independence
and the establishment of a Cuban govern
ment. The mistake was an honest but a
costly one. The real cause OF the war
with Spain was entirely distinct from the
independence OF Cuba. That was a polit-
ical impertinence which was entirely out
OF place In declaration OF war sufficiently
provoked and abundantly justified by other
causes. The sequences OF the war have

The Journal yesterday mentioned the
case of a grocer at Richmond, Ind, who
recently gave a large order for future
shipment of canned goods to be shipped
If Mckinley was elected and to be can
celed If Bryan was elected. The same
feeling is manifested in other places. A
large manufacturing concern in milwaukee,
recently received an order for five carloads
of material accompanied by the following:
In further reference to our contract, will
YOU kindly advise the writer whether, in
case conditions were TO become seriously
unsettled on account of the election and
the jobbers should be confronted by a
panicky state of affairs which would re-
suit in a sudden shutting down of business
you would give us permission to cancel
the order we have with you for January
shipment?
In the East hundreds of contracts have
been made and orders placed with the
proviso This agreement to be null and
void in case William J. Bryan is elected
President of the United States in Novem-
Der. 1900" Mr.. Bryan's friends may claim
that these fears are groundless, but the
fact that they exist is an indicator of the
feeling among business men.

MR.. PATRICK EXPLAINS
HE WAS IN NO HURRY To CREMATE
MILLIONAIRE RICE'S BODY.
Says the Death of His Client Was
Due to Natural Causes-Law-
yer for Both Sides.

NEW YORK. Sept 26.-The body of Will
liam Marsh Rice, the millionaire, whose
death last Saturday is the occasion of un-
usual inquiry, official and otherwise, was
taken to the crematory at Fresh Pond to-
day and will be incinerated some time
tomorrow. Professor r. A. Withaus.
chemist, will analyze the contents of the
organs taken from the body. DR.. A. Bur-
ney Cannon, superintendent of the Belle
vue Dispensary, said that embalming fluid
injected into the body after death at once
destroys every trace of any vegetable poi
son which may be in the body. Chief of
Detectives McClusky said he had no rea-
son to believe that Rices death was the
result of murder nor did he believe there
was any forgery connected with the case.
Lawyer Albert T. Patrick said to-day:
"I had no intention of having Mr.. Rice's
body cremated on Tuesday, and conse-
quently the statement that the police pre-
vented the cremation is erroneous. The
reason 1 did not intend to have the crema-
ton take place on the same day as the
funeral was because Mr.. Jones had re-
ceived telegram on Monday night at IL
o'clock from Houston. Tex. requesting
that no disposition be made of the body
until James A. Baker and Frederick A. A
Rice should arrive here. Immediately on
receipt of this message, 1 telephoned the
undertaken to stop cremation until Thurs
day. pending the arrival of relatives. How
ever L instructed him to have the funeral
services on Tuesday. Upon the under
takers arrival / told him that Mr.. Rice
had left written instructions for crema-
ton without embalming. This was Sunday
night. The undertaken said 1T was impos-
sible to say when the body could be Gre
mated, as the crematory required twenty
four hours notice, and having no tele-
phone they could not be reached before
Monday morning. He added that ii would
be impossible to preserve the body any
length of time without embalming il. Nat
urally told him to go ahead and embalm
1t. All the relatives were Immediately noti-
fed, and / have no reason to believe any
Of them will find dissatisfaction with what
l have done"
Lawyer Patrick added: ''Mr. Rice's
death was not due to unnatural causes.
We were glad that the autopsy was per-
formed, for We knew the result would
point but one way. We await the result
of Professor Witthaus's examination with
confidence"

Four years ago yesterday Mr.. Bryan,
i'm a speech delivered on Boston Common,
said:
The gold standard fills our streets with
opportunity to work The gold standard,
by increasing idleness brings poverty to
those who should have enough and to
spare. The gold standard has nothing to
defend ii except the misery which has fol-
lowed il wherever il has been tried. The
gold standard is a failure If you will ac-
cept the testimony of those in every land
who had it. We have commenced a war
fare against the gold standard, and we in
vite you to join with US now If you do not
join with us now, and we are~defeated this
year we will come again and extend the
invitation until majority of the people In
this country do join us.
AT night of the same day, Sept. IS, 1896
Mr.. Bryan spoke at Springfield. Mass,
where he paid his respects to the press
and challenged any gold-bug paper ''to dis
pute that g ny policy which is injurious to
the agricultural classes has nothing to
commend it to any nation on earth" The
rest of his speech was mainly devoted to
showing how impossible it was for farmers
to prosper under a gold standard. The
farmers of America were never more pros
porous than they are to-day, and never
had better reason for disregarding the
advice of Mr.. Bryan.

something to do with commercial inter
ests in China. Mr.. Search said trade In
American manufactures with China had
reached enormous proportions before the
present trouble began and that as soon
as settlement is effected it win be better
than ever. He seemed hopeful that the
settlement would not be long delayed.

been made far more costly 10 the United
States by the necessity Of carrying out a
policy which excludes for the present the
idea OF annexation, and the accomplish
suit has been indefinitely postponed. When
one considers what has been accomplished
in Cuba during the brief period OF Ameri-
can occupation and what is likely TO hap
pen when it ceases one cannot but believe
with Senator Beverage that at will be
an evil day for Cuba when the stars and
stripes comes down from MORO Castle"
But come down they must. The faith and
honor OF the United States are pledged TO
that as irrevocably as they are that the
flag shall never come down in the Philip
pines. The faith and honor of the United
States are pledged that Cuba shall have
complete independence and a government
of its own, and the pledge must be kept
to the letter. But when Ii has been re-
deemed events will resume their natural
course, the United States will be free to
fest destiny, and when circumstances de-
mand the annexation OF Cuba, as they
undoubtedly will before many years, the
United States will be in a position to cor
rect an error which should never have been

President Mckinley is not making any
speeches this year. His position forbids,
and his public duties are too exacting. Be-
sides, his record and the universal pros
perity that prevails throughout the coun-
try are speaking for him. In 1896, how
ever, Mr.. Mckinley was free to speak, and
did so to delegations visiting him at Can
ton. Four years ago yesterday he made
nine speeches to as many visiting delega-
tions-to delegation of commercial trav
elers from Illinois, a delegation of steel
workers from Pittsburg, a delegation of
workingmen from Pennsylvania a delega-
ton of railroad men from various points,
delegation of real-estate men from Buff
falo. a delegation of iron workers from
Pittsburg, delegation of workingmen from
Piqua, delegation of tin-plate workers
from Pennsylvania, and a delegation of
naturalzed citizens and first voters from
Cleveland These speeches covered all the
issues of the day. and contained solid argu-
ments and eloquent appeals in favor of
sound money and honest finance, the pres
ervation of national credit and honor, the
protection of American industries, the
maintenance of American wages and legis-
lation that would open the factories and
start the mills then closed, and which
would bring employment for workingmen
and prosperity for all. Because Mr.. Nc
Kinley is now in a position where he cam
not make speeches. the people should not
forget that he stands for the same prin-
ciples and policies now that he did four
years ago. Nor should they forget that
Mr.. Bryan is now stamping the country
as he was four years ago, in opposition to
all that Mr. Mckinley represents.
