Cuban Gratitude Not TO Be Relied Upon.

Never in the history Of the world mas
gratitude has been 50 thoroughly de
served by one people at the hands of
another as in the case Of this country
and Cuba. But if we study that same
history we shall discover that little re-
lance can be placed upon gratitude so
deserved. 1t seems to be contrary to
human nature for a people, struggling
for independence. for government of
their own. to yield or jeopardize one
little Of what they may have gained
though they may have been indebted
for what they have to another nation
This country wisely RETAINED from
risking the results of the Revolutionary
war to later help France, though but
doubtful if we should have gained our
independence at the time we did. OF
course it was evident that the French
government it cannot be said of in
dividuals like Lafayette. aided US not
through love of our cause but through
hatred of England. This feature. which
characteriZes nearly all cases where
one nation has supported another,
with the practical exception of our as
sistance to the South American states
in throwing off the Spanish yoke, is
noticeably absent from our interference
in the Cuban struggle. or if not alto
Sether absent it certainly was not one
of the determining factors. The peo-
pie Of this country genuinely sym
pathized with Cuba in her struggle.

thusiasm. and the result of it's deliber-
ations was to put in nomination for

mission to the bar he formed a part
nership with his father, the late Judge

tinued in the active practice of his pro-

gal adviser. and an able advocate.
He has taken an active interest in
the affairs of our city. especially in
our public schools serving for some
years past as a member of the COM
mittee. 1t has been a labor of love
with him. and to it he has devoted no
small amount Of time ana thought.
