OUR CUBAN WARDS.

The Cubans are mere tyros in re
publicanism and will have to learn a
great deal before they can move the
machinery of government as they
ought to do. They adhere to the old
Spanish forms and modes of thought
as is evidenced in the recent request of
the adherents of General Maseo a can
didate for president. These petition
ers desire that they have representa-
ton on the board of election returns
as other parties are represented. In
asmuch as General Maseo announced
his candidacy after the board was ap-
pointed, Secretary Root very properly
refused the request. The Cubans
went farther than this. They request
ed that as representation was denied
them that the election be postponed,
The absurdity is apparent to the Amer
lean but to Cuban with Spanish
training it seems to be very reason
able proposition. They do not realize
tndL IL du eleCIlOn Couiu pe poSlpoueu
for such reasons, new candidate
might spring up afterward, and so on,
until the election would be postponed
Indefinitely.
Spanish modes are so antiquated,
absurd and inconsistent with good gov
eminent that it will require the Gu
bans to be very assiduous in forgetting
all that they know, and devote their
time and talents to acquiring United
States ideas. They will do it event
ually, but they can arrive at the de-
sired result only in following out the
suggestions that any thoughtful Amer
lean could give them.
