THE DEBUT OF CUBA LIBRE.

OF late Cuba has been almost lost
sight Of in the interest and sympathy
aroused for Porto Rico by the CONVEX
sion of that unhappy island into a
crown colony to be governed by an Ex-
ecutive and council named from Wash
ington and to be commercially de-
spoiled for the benefit of American
trusts and franchise grabbers.
Nevertheless, an important stage of
Cuba Is approaching, and within the
next few months events may DC looked
for that will go far to determine wheth-
er American occupation OF the island
is to be brief lengthy. or, maybe. per-
manent. We refer to the outcome of
the various municipal elections, which
will be held in June. and which will be
the first real taste of self government
Cuba has had.
At present, q commission OF fifteen
Cubans. with Horato S. Rubcns. as
legal adviser. is engaged in framing
rules to govern the elections, and in
determining the qualifications necessary
these have not as yet been definitely
fixed upon, 1t Is understood that there
will be a. property and an educational
qualification for all voters save vet
Grams of the Cuban army.
In anticipation of the approaching
elections. political activity is intense
all over the island, and parties and
70
well-defined parties differing upon mat
ters OF local policy, but 1t is interesting
to note. and Is certainly significant,
that not one of them favors annexation
by the United States. These parties are
the Cuban National party, led by
Gomez; the Conservative party, led by
Rodriguez and Callazo; the Republican
party. led by Sanguilly and Gomez, the
mulattO leader: the Veterans party.
composed of old soldiers of the war for
independence: the Democratic party,
with an organization only in Matanzas.
Such are the conditions under which
Cuba is to try its hand at home-rule.
There are plenty Of people In our own
beloved country who would be pleased
to see the experiment fail, because fail
ure would mean the retention of
American troops on the island, with
possible annexation under the plea of
guaranteeing stable government"
Cuba. as colony, would be fat feed
ing ground, and advocates OF the repu-
dlation Of the pledge given by Congress,
that the island shall be independent
are not wanting. There is little doubt
that IL colorado excuse shall be given
at the coming elections. the first stcp
IN Reputation will be taken by this
administration. II the Cubans are
wise. therefore, they will conduct their
first election very quietly. One good
sized riot would do the business for
them.

The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly was in session for an hour
and a half yesterday afternoon and
comparatively few questions Of import
ance were discussed. Reports were
favorably received from a number of
the standing committees and action
was taken with reference to bills which
have been unaccounted for.
The meeting came to order with
President A. L. Bauer in the chair, and
after the usual preliminary proceed
ings, John LadlSin, delegate from the
Tailors Union, No. 246, presented Gre
dentials and was obligated.
The first committee report, which
was accepted and turned over to the
trustees, informed the delegates that
the net proceeds from the Labor Day
picnic amounted to $46742, and that
there was lot of outstanding tickets.
The matter was carefully considered
and on motion the secretary was in
structed to communicate with three of
the members and request them to ac-
count for the tickets and money in
their charge.
Delegate Boes suggested that the
label law, to which the assembly's at
tention had been called at the previous
meeting, needed an introduction to ex-
plain why the passage of the bill is
demanded. A member of the legisla-
tive committee was then questioned in
regard to the bill and answered that
he knew nothing Of it, as he had been
absent when it was presented Dele
gate Boes thought that if a member of
any of the standing committees should
be absent two consecutive sessions that
he could be impeached. Other remarks
followed and the question was finally
dropped, the chair ruling that it had
not been taken up under the proper
head
One of the delegates reported that
the Riverside strike had been settled
and that the men would return to work.
The arbitration committee also an
nounced that it had been in conference
one night with the executive commit
tee of the employees union, but had
taken no hand in the settlement of the
differences.
A report for the past quarter was
submitted by the finance committee
and on motion it was received and
fled
Delegate Sims advised for the well
fare of the assembly that the cases of
all bills not accounted for should be
closely investigated and moved that
the secretary be ordered to draw on
the treasurer for the payment of GER
tain bill and to collect the same
amount from one of the members.
Delegate Tracy urged that the assem-
bly, proceed carefully in the matter
and deemed it advisable to summon
this member before the executive
board to explain why the bill had not
been paid. He considered it unjust to
question the delegates honesty before
giving him an opportunity to exoner-
ate himself. There was a second to
Delegate Sims motion and after a pro-
longed discussion Delegate GILES NOV
ed that all the other cases of bills be
Investigated before the bill under dis
cussion be paid. A prompt second fol-
lowed and the substitute carried unan-
imously. The matter was referred to
the finance committee.
The assembly adjourned at $3.50.
