As announced in Saturday

Of the four affairs, which were
erected on the sidewalk, for the
ceremony Of the elevation of the
Host. These affairs were very
artistically arranged by the church
societies, being tastefully con
structed with pillars aud arches of
green branches, with an altar in
the center bearing a sacred image
and wax candles which were
lighted for the ceremony.
The procession passed down the
middle of the street, being led by
three acolytes, the central one
bearing a crucifx. Then followed
the classes of the Catholic Sunday
School, the pupils of the Incarnate
Word Convent, the pupils of St.
Joseph's College, and the follow
ing societies of the church: Society
Of Children of Mary, Altar Society.
Living Rosary Society, and League
of the Sacred Heart. each division
being headed by a handsome ban
ner with appropriate designs on
it. Next came a number Of lit

ing wreaths, and carrying baskets
of flowers which they scattered in
the centre of the street. The en-
tire procession marched in two
divisions, one on either side of the
street. a band Of music followed,
playing a sacred march AcOlytes
with censers came next, walking
backwards and waving the burn
ing incense in the way of the
Host. This was borne by the
officiating priest, who, with a
priest on either side of him,
all clad in sacred vestments, walk
ed under a large canopy of red
satin, which was carried by four
male members of the church.
At each station, the procession
was halted, the priests assembled to

FORESTRY LEGISLATION.

The state senate has passed Senator
Arends' bill designed to encourage for
estry in Nebraska by providing that the
increased value of property by reason of
growing such trees shall not be a subject
for taxation, which virtually means
that the trees so grown will not be
taxed, although they will undoubtedly
be of value. The bill provides that the
portion of farmers land devoted to
tree planting shall be limited in order
to benefit by the new law, and there are
other restrictions and provisions. This
is small step in the right direction.
Nebraska is one of the states most need
ing legislation for the promotion of
forestry and friends of the movement
will be pleased to see it's popularity grow
until the state is converted into picture
land of groves and forests. Norfolk

lations that should exist between the gov
ernment of Cuba and the United States.
The calling Of this constitutional con-
vention to frame a constitution for a
civil government to succeed the military
one is evidence of the "pacifcation" of
Cuba and indicates that the time had
arrived for carrying out the pledge ''to
leave the government and control of the
island to it's people"
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations, without waiting for an official
report of the work of the convention,
adopted an amendment to the army bill
empowering the president to make GER
tain demands upon the people Of Cuba
and making their enjoyment Of self
government conditional upon the accept
ance of these demands.
Independence is commonly understood
to mean exemption from reliance upon
or control by
Limit Independence. others. Cuba then
to be independent
must be exempt alike from control by
Spain, the United States or any other
country. Congress, however, demands
that Cuba shall agree not to make
certain kind of treaty. This is an
assumption of the right to supervise the
treaty making power Of Cuba and thus
limit the exercise of sovereign power.
It amounts to saying that Cuba shall not
make any treaty not agreeable to the
United States.
If Cuba is independent, it is, in re-
lation to the United States, foreign
country, and the supreme court of the
United States has so declared. The
senate demands that Cuba shall not
"permit any foreign power to obtain
lodgment in or control over any
portion of said island" Immediately
following we demand that Cuba agree
to violate this pledge. The government
of Cuba must "sell or lease to the United
States lands necessary for coaling or
naval stations" Cuba is placed in the
uncomfortable position OF being required
to agree to do and at the same time not
to do thing.
We also demand the right to intervene
in the internal affairs Of the island,
whenever, in our opinion, it may be
necessary to preserve Cuban indepen-
dence and the maintenance of govern
ment adequate for the protection Of life
and property, thereby for all time sub
jecting Cuba to the "control and juris-
diction of the United States.'
These demands not only infringe upon
Cuban independence but they will in
involve us in endless trouble and dis
sention. By the treaty of peace our
obligations in Cuba are limited to the
ofo hn ta

means Of enforcing our will except by

the Cubans wish
Coercion. Or is the president
to enforce obedi-
ence? Is he to say to Cuba: accept the
conditions we lay down or we will re-
main in the islands forever and use the
army and navy Of the country to main
tain our position? Can we with honor
to ourselves and justice to the Cubans
do this? How may we reconcile such an
abbreviated form Of independence with
the absolute and unconditional pledge
we gave them? Cuba is no more bound
to receive instruction from the United
States in the establishment of an inde-
pendent government than from the
British parliament or the Spanish
cortes. 1t is an unmanly defence to
assert that we may make demands upon
Cuba in return for what we have done.
We took up Cuba's cause for humanity's
sake and it is ill-becoming self-respect-
ing nation to demand pay for an act of
humanity. We can better obtain and
merit Cuban gratitude by keeping our
promises.
The situation in Cuba is an extremely
delicate one. To intervene in the man
ner indicated by
Must Keep Faith. the senate is to
invite war. The
Cubans are already chatting under
the continuation of American occu-
patton and, as Senator Morgan said
in the senate, the attempt to coerce them
will mean war. If we leave them alone
there is the possibility of civil war.
The South American republics are in a
state of almost continual revolution.
Instead of minority patiently and
quietly acquiescing in the will of the
majority they get up a revolution and
attempt to overthrow the government.
This, it is alleged, will take place in
Cuba if our government surrenders con-
troll. This might have been urged three
years ago as weighty reason against
Cuban independence, but it is too late
now. Whether right or wrong we then
declared the people of Cuba to be capable
of self government. And if we would
be true to our promises we must now
give Cuba absolute independence and
trust the result to Providence. Better a
civil war among the Cubans than war
between Cuba and the United States
brought about by our perfidy. If civil
war results or condition Of an
archy befalls the island, then we
may, on the same ground we made wal
upon Spain, intervene again in Cuba and
establish order, and perhaps by that
time the people of Cuba will be con.
vinced that their best hopes of liberty
and freedom lie in annexation to the
American republic. And if we are true
; to our pledges they will be convinced OF
