Can Cubans Govern Themselves.

One of the best known diplomatists recently
declared that the Cubans are incapable OF
governing themselves, and that the United
States must maintain its present control in
definitely. or else annex the island. There
will be those who will dispute this, but there
are none who dispute the well established fact
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is capable OF
controlling the common diseases of the stom
ach. 1t is a remedy that is backed by 30 years
OF success. 1t is an ideal medicine for consti
patton; strength builder for those who are
pre6isposed to lung troubles, and for nervous
ness 1t is a wonderful benefit. AS an appetizer
it is incompatible. Those whose stomachs
are out OF order should not fan to try a bottle.

rHE REPRESENTATIONS OF OHIO.

AS stated yesterday, there is GER
tainly excellent reason for democratic
iubilation and encouragement of spirit
in the election news which reports
democratic victories in many towns in
Ohio, the presidents own state, and
the especial republican possession of
Mark Hanna. Tom l.. Johnson's
election to the mayoralty of Cleve-
land, with prospect of his being the
democratic candidate for governor of
Ohio next fall; the victory in Column
bus of John N. Hinkle, the democratic
candidate for mayor; the republican
defeat in Hamilton, the election of the
democratic city tickets in Z1nesville,
Norwalk and Marietta-al this makes
an excellent showing for the party OF
the people.
1t may be taken for granted that the
Republicans bitterly contested every
foot of the ground. Ohio democracy
should now proceed to organize for
state victory in the fall elections.
They have good fighting chance tc
elect governor and a majority of the
Ohio legislature.
The latter achievement would mean
the election of a United States senator
from Ohio in place of Senator Fora
ker. This would be signal triumph
indeed. The democrats of Ohio ought
to do their level best to prove that
their state is not owned in fee-simple
by the republican machine organized
and controlled by Mark Hanna.

WITH THE CONSENT OF THE GOV
ERNER

When France ceded the Louisiana
territory to the United States she
stipulated that the inha bitants should
be incorporated into the union of the
United States and admitted, as soon
as possible, according to the princi-
pies of the federal constitution, to the
enjoyment of all the rights, advantages
and immunities of citizens of the
United States"
Denmark desires to cede the Danish
West Indies to the United States.
But. remem bering the instance of
France, she insists that the sale be
conditioned on the consent of the in
habitants and that 1.-the inhabitants
become, not only American subjects,
but American citizens" The islands,
in short, are to become part of the
United States, and their products adj
mitted free of duty. On these con-
ditions Denmark will part with them
on the payment of $4,000, 900.
The Danish authorities know what
they are about. They do not purpose
to leave the future status of any of
their subjects in doubt.
Leaving the political relations to be
determined by congress, has proved
ii disastrous agreement to Porto Rico
and the Philippines and to all con-
cerned, and Denmark will not repeat
that mistake. If we want these ISL
ands, and the people are willing to
transfer their allegiance, we must take
them in under the constitution, as
we'll as under the flag. without any
qualification or subterfuge. If we are
