CUBAN ANNEXATION

The antl-imporialists have made
many predictions, all of which have
failed TO come to pass Every prom
ise made by the administration has
been kept and the terrible things pre-
dicted have not materialized. A safe
rule is not to prophesy unless you
know; this applies to the case under
consideration.
II has been declared a Thousand tines
that the administration had no interi-
tion of keeping the governments prom
Use regarding Cuban independence
meanwhile it was diligently preparing
the way for that end An election was
arranged under such restrictions as
we're necessary TO ascertaining the real
sentiments Of the people. This was de-
nounced as un-American, autocraht
and un-Democratic.
When the constitutional Convention
met, we were told that Mckinley was
prepared to impose conditions impos-
sible for them TO accept, and with the
passage OF the Platt resolution a cry
Of exultation went up from the camp
Of anti-imperialism; their prediction
had been verified. Still the administra-
ton kept its even tenor. and when a
Cuban delegation came over they vert
politely treated. and told shat the Off
cials Of the government were not given
TO lying but meant every word. and
that The guarantees we asked were nsk-
ed as much for the benefit OF Cuba "a
for our own. They bolieyed as. return
ed, and the amendments were adopted.
When Congress assemblies the next
step will be taken Of granting cuba
her Independence. Then what will the
prophets and pr snosticatcrs saye
Why, they will .,clare that their pro-
test drove fae prcsidrnt into iScophs
his promise.
Nov brave old General Gomez comes
t. me front and makes declaration
which is sufficient to esuso nervous
proshatlon in anti-imperialist ranks
lie declares that ultimately Cuba will
become a part OF the United States. and
that this Will be brought about because
her people viii demand IT, lie thinks
that her complete independence will
soon be accomplished, after which the
other idea will take root and grow until
annexation is asked. Wise old Gomez.
Every intelligent American has long
held the same opinion, but most per.
sons have been content to keep oui
pledges and await the arbitrament o.
the future.

The many friends of Peter L. Cooper
will be shocked TO hear OF his death.
He was young man who. single-hand-
ed. had fought his way from very
humble surroundings TO a position hign
in the ranks of his profession. lie
could be trusted, and his party honored
him for that reason. As deputy at
torney-general he did such good work
that many declared him the brains OF
the office. His death was untimely. fol
his friends had looked forward to an
honored and useful old age. His career
is well worthy Of the emulation Of ou
