CUBA AND ANNEXATION.

We publish this morning a communi1
cation from Gainesville, Fla. in
which the writer takes the position
that the time is not distant when
Cuba will be annexed to this country.
He states that for the past two years
he has been the editor of the Havana
Post. The inference we draw from
what he says is that he finds a very
strong sentiment among Cubans in
favor of annexation--a sentiment so
strong that soon after Cuba has her
own government there will be a sue
cessful annexation movement.
He does not say whether this state
ment is based upon the belief that the
Cubans are incapable of self-govern-
ment or upon the fact that the island
would be far more prosperous if it had
free trade with this country. 1t would
of course have free trade if it were an
nexed.
The Republicans in Congress seem
to think that the Cubans will make a
failure Of self-government. When the
Philippine tariff bill was under dis
cussion last week Representative Hep
burn of Iowa said, in the course of
a speech, that the time was not dis
tant when the Democrats would ac-
knowledge the "unwisdom of giving
Cuba independence" and that state
ment was loudly applauded by the Re-
publicans. 1t would seem from this
that the Republican party is looking
forward TO the annexation of Cuba.
Indeed " may be that they were pro-
vidlng the way for it when they in
sisted that the Plat amendment
should be made a part of the Cuban
constitution.
1t is no doubt true that the Cubans
will not be satisfied with self-govern-
ment unless they have material pros
perity along with 1t. If we make Porto
Rico, Cubas' near neighbor, prosper
ous the probabilities are that the de-
sire for similar prosperity will be-
come so strong in Cuba that it will
not be possible for the anti-annex-
ionlsts to resist it. There is certainly
room for doubling that the future
status of Cuba viii be settled when
she has a government OF her own.

Prince Lubonirski, one of the Rus
slams most popular in Paris, is about
to ride, as the result of q wager, from
spa to Nice on one horse, and bring
the animal to the Riviera in perfect

this season, on account of the snow on
the mountains of the Vosges, Jura and
the Alps.

Lord Stanmore, who Is now 72
years old, enjoys the distinction. or
being the last peer created by Mr..
GLADSTONE. he is the son of the Earl
OF Aberdeen, who was prime minister
IN the f1tties, and in whose cabinet Mr..
Gladstone held the chancellorship of
the exchequer. He was not only prl-
yate secretary to his father, but he
was attached to Mr.. Gladstone's special
mission to the Ionian Islands. LORD
Stanmore was selected as the first gov
ernor OF Fiji, and he had an exceed
lngly difficult and delicate task in the
conversion of that erstwhile cannibal
Kingdom into an orthodox crown colo

Father Ignatius who has been wag-

known in the United States, is now ga
years old. He is the most picturesque
figure in the Church of England to-
Gay, and whether on the mission plat
form or that of the church congress
always creates sympathy and even en-
thusiasm by the vigor and eloquence
of his utterances. His services are
attended chiefly by men, but in Lon
don women are equally attracted by
them. His monastery in the recesses
of the Welsh hills is very beautiful
place, and those who have visited it
describe it as an ideal refuge from
the worries of the world.

Had a Fool for Client.

Speaking OF unique cases in the
law" said a member of the Galveston
bar, according to the Galveston News,
Il am reminded of a case which is Of
ten told by lawyers, and the beauty
about the story is that it is we'll au-
thenticated. 1t really happened. Law
yers have a fund of these things on
hand, for some of the most curious
happenings in the world happen to the
lawyer. But generally some young
member of the bar. some limb, as the
saying goes, will figure in the story.
But in the case have in mind it was
an older man and one who had sus-
tanned a fairly good reputation as a
member of the profession. He became
involved in litigation and fought his
own battle. He won the case in the
lower court, but it went to the Su-
preme Court on an appeal. In the
record the well known expression "a
fool for a client was used facetiously
by the lawyer while urging his claims,
and the expression went to the Su-
preme Court with the transcript The
august judges laid aside their usual
austerity and took advantage of the
opportunity afforded to say something
realA funny, in the way that wit Is
judged when coming from the judi
ciary. They examined the record care
fully and picked out the expression
about the lawyer having a fool for a
client. The serious judges : dilated
somewhat at this point. 1T appears
from the record said the court in de-
livering the opinion, that the severat
grounds set UP by the complainant
(who was the lawyer are amply sus-
tanned by the proof in the case, and
there seems to be no ground for in
reference on the part of a court OF
review The finding in the lower court
is sustained, and the case is affirmed
in all particulars The lawyer got
more than he bargained for. but he
was probably lucky to get off so light
ly. This is the only case I know of
where d sane mans declaration that
he was a fool was judicially affirmed,
and 1 suppose it is the only case on
record"

False AIarms for Engineers.

When a mans sitting in an engine
cab, looking up the track with a con-
stant watch for danger a burden on his
mind" said an enginere, to a writer
for the Salt Lake Herald, things
sometimes look different from what
they really are. This is especially true
if after long servie his eyes begin to
be a little affected.
Il used to know an old engineer who
was one of the most careful men on the
road. In fact, he was always worried,
and fear of an accident got to be al
most a mania with him. One day he
ws pulling long freight down a pref
ty fair grade, when he sudden clapped
on the air and gave the 'high-balP
with the whistle, sending the brake
men out over the train setting the
hand brakes as fast as they could. FL
nally they brought the train to a stop.
and everybody ran UP to see what was
the matter. Among the men who came
up was a red-shirted section man.
When the fellow not close, Jack, the
engineer, began to rip out the biggest
string of cusses l ever heard. He
damned up and down any man who
would wear a red shirt while working
on the section, for Jack had seen that
Shirt and thought it was a red flag,
and stopped his train"
l Ildu an experience HIySelL not lOnS
ago." spoke UP another engineer. 1t
was since the new electric headlights
were put in. You know how they
look coming up the track. They're SO
bright you can't see anything else ana
it's hard TO tell whether they are NOV
ing or not
Il was running a freight, and had a
pretty heavy train. We were coming
around a curve just before making a

of those electric headlights flashed on
me. 1 thought it was all over with
me, but l stopped to put on the brakes
and reverse, and hung on just min

very heavy, and ] got the train stop

will not be laid aside until it is dis
posed of.
The bill is not a partisan measure.
1t is approved by both parties. There
is no reason, therefore, why it should
not be passed within a week or two
after its consideration has been begun.
1t will have opposition, of course, be-
! cause the Pacific railroads do not in
tend to permit it to pass if they can
help it. They will not be able. however,
to delay its passage through the House
more than few days. Indeed, it is
probable that they will not offer very
serious opposition TO it while it is in
that branch of Congress. They will
husband their strength for a fight
| against it in the Senate. There is al
ready a Nicaragua canal bill pending
in that body and it may be that the
Senate will prefer it to the House bill.
But, if it does, it will be an easy mat
ter to make a satisfactory bill out of
the two bills.
The House BILL known as the Hep
burn bill, provides that $1S0,000,O0O shall
be expended in the construction of a
canal across Nicaragua, and appropri-
ates $10,OO0,O 900 for beginning the work
Full authority is given the President
to carry forward the great undertaking
to completion.
No doubt the several companies
which have, from time to time, OBJ
tained concessions from Nicaragua and
come forward with claims against the
government. but if the present temper
of Congress prevails they will get moth
ing. AS one of the prominent members
of the House said, in speaking of these
claims, they are matters for Mica
ragua and Costa Rica to settle. Con-
gress has nothing to do with them.
Congress will not worry about them.
1t will let the fellows who have the
concessions do the worrying"
1t will not be surprising if work on
the canal is begun in the summer of
1902. The canal may be completed in
ten years; and it may be twenty before
it is open for traffic. The only thing
that is certain is that if the canal Is
begun it will be pushed to completion
as quickly as possible. There will be
no lack of money, as in the case of
the Panama canal, though it is safe
prediction that it will require a great
deal more than $3.50, 900, ,00Qa to build it.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: The San Francisco Cali
thinks that the solution of the Gu
ban tariff question would be to let the
tariff alone and sudsidize the Cubans.
Naturally Your sibsidist is always
willing that somebody else may be
subsidized If by that means his own
subsidies may remain untouched"
The New York World (Dem.) says:
mo matter where in the civilized
world England with great difficulty ar
rives by sea, there she finds herself
face to face with Russia. And behind
England is the sea, while behind Rus
STA is the whole Russian empire. Rus
sian statesmen must smile as they
hear our statesmen chattering of world
empire based on acquisitions of distant
islands, as they watch us initiating

land has done from necessity and
what has at last brought serious strain
and peril to the British Empire"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: "It is unthinkable that the
