THE FUTURE OF CUBA.

The proceedings of the constitutional
convention in Cuba are not altogether
encouraging. SO far, they give weight
to the position taken by Senior Rod
acted as advisor in Spanish law to the
American peace commission in Paris in
1898. He discusses the question, Can
there ever be a Cuban republic?" in
the Decembe: number of The Forum,
and his conclusions are as follows:
The friends of Cuba, interested in the
welfare of that beautiful and interest
ing island, which in the hands of the
United States would be a perfect para
disc, instead of sowing distrust and
promoting n encouraging aspirations
which can never be realized, should
strive, on the contrary, to help the Gu
ban problem to be solved in the only
way which is possible and natural, and
the only way which can be satisfactory
to all the parties concerned, namely, by
making the connection between Cuba
and the United States of America or
ganic and permanent. No Cuban who
has a dollar or desires to make it non
estly aspires to any other thing; and
those among the insurgents of 1895 who
know what they are talking about con-
cur in this opinion. No man has ever
expressed himself more strongly in this
sense than the one who was president
of the so-called Republic of Cuba,' in
the letter which he wrote from Cubitas
to the New York Times. He said:
CUBA is properly American, as much
nc iS r nnn leland ar-l T ill., It,.
can be but one ultimate disposition OF
ito be included in the great American
Sisterhood of states"
Has any one better right to speal
for the Republic of Cuba" and for the
insurgents of 1895 than the venerabl,
Marquis of Santa Lucia, Salvador Cts
neros y Betancourt who sacrificed al
things upon the altar of his countr.
and signed his name to those wo.ds?

try They are aware that any policy
which leaves to the Chinese the manage
ment of their internal affairs will make
it impossible to collect their claims from
funds raised by internal taxation. Hence
there is no other course for them than
the one they will sooner or later be like
ly to follow. namely, dismemberment.
That China will be d~ismembered we
may be assured if for no other reason
than that the powers would find them
selves unable to avert such a
ton even though they We're really desir-
Gus of preventing it. But when the sit

that ACKNOWLEDGMENT would solve an 9TH

made doubly sure. If the powers agree

the president can have a force sufficient
for emergency. with power to reduce 1t
when there is no further demand for its
continuance. A regular army with a
maximum of 96. 900 men and a minimum
of 50, 900 would meet the requirements.
The people of this country are not
afraid OF. an efficient regular army. 1t
will be made up of their own boys, but
if it were not they would still not be
afraid of it. In my district every town

If Bryan had been elected the demo-.
Gratis would have favored an army fit

that they could trust Mr.. Bryan and,
would not be afraid of an army under
him. Wen, we can trust Mr.. Mckinley,

THE ARMY.

According to the dispatches, an agree
ment has practically been reached re-
garding the reorganization Of the army,
in which the president, the congressional
leaders and the war department officials
concur. The main point in the plan is
that the permanent army shall have a
minimum strength of SO, 900 men, which
may be increased, should occasion de-
mand, in the presidents discretion, by
doubling the size of the companies.
AS the army now stands. i. sconsists
of 5000 regulars and 5000 volunteers,
but in the absence of legislation, the
number would be decreased in July neXt
to 27,o5o.
During the late campaign, Mr.. Bryan
and the democratic orators generally, in
dulged in much loose talk regarding the
immense standing army that the repub-
lican administration would establish.
The answer is found in the agreement
upon a basis of $4,000, which, under ex-
listing circumstances, is probably small
enough to suit.
In this connection, Representative J.
A. T. Hull, chairman of the house mill
tary affairs committee, made this inter,
esting statement last week:
My desire is to get the bill over to the
senate before the holidays. l don want
the senate to plead lack of time for con-

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The gOldenrod candle are all burned out
By the zigzag fence of gray;
The asters have turned to withered seeds
the wind will tlutter away;
But here's a cheer for the waning year,
And the glad Thanksgiving Day!
The thrushe have flown in the treetops
high,
And the bluebirds could not stay;
And lone and hushed are the empty
nests;
But the children smile as they say.
when frost is chill on the misty hill
And the glad Thanksgiving Day.
They know that the harvest is garnered
In it's ripe and golden store,
And patient and still the brown earth
waits,
For the time Of it's toll is DER:
1t waits the snow that shall fold it low
Till it wake from sleep once more.
The daisies will whiten the field again
And the robins build, next May;
So gratefully sing, little children, sing,
Till the air with mirth is gay,
A song for the cheer of the happy year
And the glad Thanksgiving Day
