THE ANN ARBOR DEAL.
New York Commercial Points Out Its
Value 10 Wabash.

1.-The purchase of the Ann Arbor by
interests directly connected with the
Wabash, is of more importance than the
mere amount of capital involved in the
deal would indicate" says the New
York Commercial. "The acquisition of
this property places Wabash in direct
competition with Pennsylvania Michi-
gan connection, the Grand Rapids *

spects peculiarly situated. Its mileage
crosses and connects with every impor-
tant system in Michigan. It's important
ferry service across Lake Michigan has
already been noted in these columns aud
in this way connects with ST. Paul,
Northwestern aud most of the other sys-
TENS in the northwest. It's terminals in
Frankfort and Toledo are looked upon
as being exceptionally valuable.
Formerly most of the traffic of the
company was northbOund, which made
necessary re empty car mileage.
Through the introduction OF the ferry
service and the increased tonnage there
by derived from Lake Michigan aud
from its connections in Wisconsin the
earnings have shown a considerable in.
crease.
During the last fiscal year Ann Ar.
Dor earned gross Sl.154,l4S and showed
a surplus over charges of Sll3.922, This
amount was equal 20 , s per cent. on

dends have been paid on either issue Of
the company's stock, the management
for years of late having consistently fol-
lowed the policy of putting practically
all of las available earnings back into the
property in betterments It's estimated
that over 81 600 600 of current earnings
have been expended in this manner dur
ing the last seven years. As result OF
this policy the general physical condi.
d, ton of the property has been vastly inn
proved, and now is in excellent shape. "

In the Republican, national platform
OF the last presidential campaign is tho
following: ITO Cuba independence
and seltgov eminent were assured in the
same voice by which war was declared,
and TO the letter this pledge shall be per.
formed 4" The promise has been kept in
scrupulous good faith. The matter is
closed and has passed into history.
Whatever may be thought of the pro-
priety OF such pledges in appealing to
the unfathomed arbitrsments Of war the
word Of the United States was given,
and it has been redeemed. Congratula.
tions for the party in authority are in
order. Every act Of the Repub.
lican administration in regard TO
Cuba has looked to the fulfillment Of the
assurance by Congress that the inhab-
itants OF Cuba should be at liberty to
form an independent government of
their own, at their option. This was
one OF the tasks ahead in 1896, though
not foreseen at the time. 1t has been
faced and completed with characteristic
Republican capacity and fidelity. The
rest OF the world has been skeptical
about the entrance Of Cuba into the
family Of nations. The Cubans them.
selves were not easily convinced of the
sincerity of the United States. As the
world goes there was ground for the
doubt. Average diplomacy often pal
tiers in double sense, keeping the word
OF promise TO the ear, but breaking il to
the hope. An international pledge
often resolves itself into yelled aggres-
SION in which words are used only TO
deceive. Upon the usage of many other
ountries was based tia suspicion that
the United States also would find some
way TO nullify the position on Cuban in.
dependence announced before the
declaration of war in 1898. All the
questionings OF motives and purposes
are at an end forever, and Republicans
can point again 20 the fact that their
platforms are made to be carried into
effect

appreciate the value of Organization.
The only reward asked for this work
is representation on the legislative
ticket of the Republican party. And
there is every reason why they should
have it. Portuguese Americans have
representative men in every reputable
line of business and every profession.
Their good character. their integrity
has become so well established that the
Portuguese are looked to now as they
have been in the past for material as
sistance in gaining for the Territory
the steady development in all agricul-
tural pursuits which is necessary to
insure our future progress. They are
home builders and home lovers. Such
caliBer is certainly needed in legisla-

standing which the Portuguese can
place in the field will attract the votes
Of all citizens of progressive intelli-
