the country will be freely open to capital
and enterprise. the Cuban people will be-
gin to realize that II they would command
the means they feed for development, they
will have TO be In position to give host
ages for its security, or largely get along
without any. Thus, IL it were understood
that within a few years, and before the
end OF our temporary occupation the peo-
pie were certain to ask for the protection
of the American flag and sovereignty,
there would be no difficulty ia interesting
all the capital and skill that America
and the United States could furnish and
Cuba utilize. On the other hand, if there
seemed to be danger that the elements
of ignorance and barbarism which are not
without numerical strength in Cuba,
might be able TO block the wish of the
intelligent and property-owning classes
for annexation, it is very doubtful il much
financial assistance would be extended
from outside sources. Mr.. Seward is APP
parently correct in the conviction that the
law of gravitation is actively at work, and
that the West Indian apple which has
dropped from its Spanish stem must in
evitably fall into the lap of America. For
the speedest and greatest good Of the
island. that ultimate result cannot come

criminals tried TO buy themselves out OF
punishment by building churches and en-
downing converts.
II is not necessary TO assume that such
gifts are always made with the deliber-
ate purpose of bribery. But the principle
Of the transaction-or the lack of prlnci-
ple-is exactly the same as that of buy
ing votes. The college professor of po-
litical economy who stiles his convic-
tions, or refuses to allow himself to hear
more than one side of question, who at
tempts to bias his pupils in favor of GER
tain methods, because some capitalist has
put a gold muzzle on the faculty OF that
institution, need not plume himself on any
superiority to the ignorant laborer who
sells his vote for five-dollar bill. There
are excusing circumstances in both cases,
of course The bribed voter may argue
that his family needs the money, and he
really does not know which candidate Is
best, so that il is just rs well to vote for
one as the other. The college professor
argues that he has a duty to his family.
and there is really no proof that the meth
DDS of trusts and syndicates are absolutely
wrong. His line of argument, subtle and
elaborate as it is, is singularly Ike that
OF his fellow citizen who cannot speak two
sentences of correct English. Again, the
voter may take his money and spend it in
the nearest saloon. So may the professor
spend the largest part of his salary in
making collections of things which do not
add one whit to his value as a man or
teacher II is time that these things
were looked at in the clear light of day.
and described Just as they are.
The money which the capitalist spends
on the college is really an insignificant
sum. as a rule, compared with what he
makes out of 1t indirectly. 1t is no small
thing 10 secure the support. or at least the
silence, of two or three scores of the most
brilliant and influential men in the coun-
try-men who WELD an influence over hun
dreds, sometimes thousands, Of students
who are going 10 be the thinking men OF
their respective communities. 1t is not
small thing to have the support of the
churches and all the respectable, well-to-
do people in them; OF the religious or
CARNATIONS. big and little, and of silver
tongued politicians as we'll. Contrasted
with this huge, inert mass OF comfortable
people, what does the protest of the weak
amount to? Those who are chiefly hurt
by piratical methods of amassing fortunes
are the poor. the ignorant the hard-work-
ing on the one hand, and the independent,
fearless thinkers on the other. The man
of thought and Imagination, and the man
who works with his hands. join forces on
this great ethical question of the rels-
tions between capital and labor. II is in
evitably so in any period of transition and
evolution. And the outcome is invariably
the same in the end.

The double distinction of being the old

Senator Lodge, whose Grafton on Daniel
Webster at the unwilling exercises Thurs

considered one of the most finished men OF
letters not alone in the Senate, but in the
whole country. Though admitted to the
bar of Massachusetts, in 1876. he has Tor
long time followed the profession OF
literature.
Senator Bacon, who is spoken OF as
possible candidate for Vice President on
the Democratic ticket, should that honor
be given to the South, has been for many
years prominent In Georgia as lawyer
and politician. He was elected Presiden-
tial elector on the Seymour and Blair
ticket In 1868, and was for fourteen years
a member OF the Georgia House Of Rep
resentatives.
Representative Robinson, who yesterday
addressed the House upon the Pension BILL
has one o. the strongest voices ever heard
in that body. and 1t can be heard easily
in any part OF the hall.

sentatives OF both parties paid their re-

the best OF health and spirits.
1t is said that Senator Allen. who yes
terday delivered his first set speech since
his recent appointment, will close the de-
bate for the minority side on the fnan-
cial bill.
Representative Benton of Missouri yes
terday evoked a round Of applause on the
Republican side when he said, during the
course Of his speech on the Pension bill:
Though it has been more than thirty
years since the civil war, l have never
heard an old Confederate soldier complain
at paying taxes that help to make the

seuores Manuel Rasco. Subus Menesee,
Pedro n Pequeno Augustin II. Aguero,
Jusn n. Jiminez, and Claudio Dumas.
The President received the party cor
daily and expressed his satisfaction at the
effective manner in which the CUBAN CEN
SINS had been taken. He enquired into tue
Industrial and commercial affairs OF the
jeIand and detained the delegation some
time listening to their views upon the
present condition of affairs in Cuba. The
president expressed the hope. as the dele
CATION was leaving. that future relations
between the peoples of the two countries
would be cordial and friendly.
The supervisors coming as they do from
the several provinces Of the island. were
able to give the President much valuable
information regarding agricultural condi-
lions. which lie at the basis OF prosperity
in that country ravaged by years OF discord
and war. The President listened atten-
lively 10 what the Cubans had to tell him,
and the impression created by the inter-
view was mutually favorable.
The delegation also called on the secre-
tary OF War and was complimented oy MIN
ON the promptness and success OF their
work in taking the census.

he will withdraw his resolution which de-
mands of the President to know why the
