Gomez On Annexation.

1t is significant, because 1t is cor
roborative of all that has reached this
country of the best thought among
both Conservatives and Radicals lI
Cuba, that General Gomez and Gen
eral Palma should agree that the ul
innate destiny of that island is annex.
alton to the United States. That law
of political and economic gravitation
has been recognized by American
statesmen since the time of Jefferson
1t could not receive favorable consid.
Grafton in Cuba while that island was
ruled by Spain as source of revenue
only. But released from bondage to
the transatlantic peninsula, the
tendency of the island and its people
toward more intimate association with
the United States becomes daily more
apparent
There are two potent causes of this
growing tendency on the part of the
people of Cuba. one cause is political,
the other economic. The Taxpayers Of
the island have had before their eyes
for two years the object lesson of
American administration of public af-
fairs. A military government is never
popular, but ours in Cuba has been
clean, efficient, honest. In direct con-
trast has heen the local conduct Of the
municipal civil administrations, entire
I,. In, hn nIS Tho rnsnlf has
been a dread by owners of property
and by heads of families who wish to
see their children educated. of the day
when American protection shall b-
withdrawn.
The other influence is the desire to
enter the American market Perhaps
this influence is deeper and will prove
to be stronger than the desire for n
clean and economic administration.
But it appears already in the move
ment for concessions in duties on Gu.
ban products.
1t is probable that such men as
Gomez and Palma understand well
that as time passes it will become
more and more evident that the de-
sire for annexation is far more ardent
in Cuba than it is in the United States.
1t must be the people of Cuba who
will entreat admission in the fanny
of the Union. Whenever that time
shall come, it will be for the United
States to determine the terms and con
ditions of annexation. But that prob
lem may safely be left to the future.
The outlook for the present is yisibly
frightened by, the warm expressions
of gratitude and friendship uttered by
the grizzled patriot, who declares once
more that there must be Cuba llDre,
even for a limited period, and who
recognizes the essential dependence of
the island upon its fostering neighbor
republic.-Mail and Express.

109th anniversary of his birth the 9th

A literary discovery of interest, II
not of moment, is reported from the
Bodleian Library at Oxford. Some
poems of James l., in the kings own
hand. have been found in the collec-
ton and are to be duly edited. 1t is
not expected that the monarch's poeti'
cal reputation will be greatly enhanced
by the newly found manuscripts. This
right to refrain from reading them is a
part of the freedom which Englishmen

she went to her country house last
year she offered ive girls the use Of the

which they exchanged hall bedrooms

SO carefully guarded their independ
snce and their selfrespect will be a

such an action was "neighborly." Per

use wood.
