VIEWS OF NEw-YoRK.s NEW GOVERNOR.

The development of the arts. the inestimaoie
benefits received from the many scientific discoV-
cries and the moral physical and mental advance
ment in people and their surroundings during
the last century impose greater duties and greater
responsibilities upon succeeding generations. THESE
obligations should be discharged that all the
people shall share in those advantages which re-
late to their pleasures comforts and necessities.
Our country. which has achieved such a high po-
stion among the nations of the earth, should
maintain IT, not by force Of arms, but by her
efforts in the OF humanity. Individuals and
governments should seek the end-tO avoid

professional men for their views the lessons
which the nineteenth century should hand to the
twentieth. Several OF these messages follow:
CUBA IN THE NEW CENTURY
Cuba stands at the porta! OF self-government A
constitutional convention, made up OF delegates
supposed To be elected by her people, is now in
session at Havana. and is proceeding with DELHI
Grafton which may be hopeful sign. The more
careful the delegates are in reaching conclusion
the more lasting the results Of their work.
There are several results this convention may
reach at the opening of the new century. II may
declare for free Cuba. independent OF the United
States and the rest OF the world. Our Government
is pledged to establish stable government in the
island. and TO make this pledge, good there must
be some supervision OF the conventions work from
Washington. Whether the United States is to have
a suzerainty protectorate, control at ALL
over Cuba's affairs. depends upon the form OF
stituton adopted and the power under IL to main
tain a stable government capable of protecting life
and property, and to give confidence to capital
Our Government will have to consider, too, the
commercial relations proposed between Cuba and
the United States.
To predict the form Of government TO be proposed
by the convention would be premature. Only one
thing is certain. and that Is that the United States
cannot and will not step In and override any wise
form OF constitution or government that the people
