AN AMERICAN STATE WITHOUT STATEHOOD.

The oyershadowng power of the United States, ar
brarily and mercileasy exercised. has forced little
Cuba to accept the Platt amendment and become the
shadow Of republic rather than the absolutely free
and Independent Cuba which has been the dream OF
her citizens for the past half century.
The resolution of congress under which went
10 with Spain formally pledged the nations word
that Cuba ought to be and OF right should be indie
pendent republic and that had no other purpose
than to withdraw and leave the island to it's people
when it was once paoihed. The Plat amendment to
of the appropriation bills, declared would only
Withdraw partally-that is to say we would retain
naval stations the island control Cubas foreign
latons. maintain supervision of her finances and
ercse the right to send troops to the island any
time preserve order.
These reservations may in fact be to the advantage
Of Cuba in time, That Is the theoretical side The
practical result is to reduce Cuba TO the condition of
one of our American States, with control local af
fairs only and without several of the commonest at
tributes Of sovereignty
The accomplished fact, In short, is violation Of
National pledges to Cuba and to the world and
will always remain cause for questioning our Ma

freedom would have followed Statehood to the advau-
tage OF both the mainland and the island AS 1t is

made of II dependency without granting it the bene

If the Cubans are wise they will soon seek to be.

emasculated sovereignty. Possibly the purpose has all
along been to drive them to such action But the open
violation of National word of honor has been none
the less apparent and discredtable to the adminisra

NECESSITY FOR IMPROVED JURY SERVICE.

II that the new jury law enacted at the late
session OF the Tennessee legislature and designed to
improve the character of the juries by compelling the
service OF less professional class of Jurors has not
been meeting expectations because the judges have not
been rigdly enforcing it.
1t has become practice in Tennessee, as in many
other States to excuse large numbers Of the better

element, usually an intelligent nonsentimental, prac

seeks in every possible way avoid Jury service The

The Commercial Appeal admits that it is self
