THE CUBAN REPUBLIC.
New Nation Likely to Be Born About
May / of This Year.

ANCR AFdLfOIA AfAhClS " ADS oOIA <ADOub
May / of This Year.
Although the Cuban republic appears
to be in sight, several formalities have
to be observed before its existence actu-
ally begins. The election held ON the
last day of 1901 chose several sorts of
officials House of Representatives, or
popular branch of the new governments
Congress; electors who will choose
President and Niee-President of the re-
public; electors who, acting in conjunc-
ton with the Provincial Councils, will
name four Senator's in Congress from
each of the islands six provinces; and
also Governors and councils for each Of
the provinces. Thus the preliminary part
of the work of creating the republics
machinery has been performed.
The next step in the work Of preparing
the way for the installation of the new
government will be taken few weeks
hence On Feb. rs, 1902, the senatorial
electors and the provincial councils will
choose the Senators. The presidential
electors will meet on Feb. 10, and will,
Oh Feb. "A, the anniversary Of the day
on which the Cuban rebellion of 1895
started, elect a President and a Vice
President of the republic. The result of
the voting on Feb. n win be forwarded
to the Central Board of Scrutiny, COM
posed of Cubans entirely. and that body
will transmit it to the American military
Governor of the island, Gen. Wood. This
will be the final step in the preparation
of the republics governmental machin-
cry, but the time at which it is to 20
into operation is still to be declared, and
this date cannot yet be announced def
nitely.
From present indications the United
States direct physical connection with
Cuba will end about four months hence.
After all the forms of creating the gov
ernment's machinery have been certified
by the American authorities in the isl
and, Gen. Wood, acting on the direction
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root, will officially announce the date for
the meeting of the Cuban Congress and
for the proclamation of the Cuban Pres
ident. Probably the date for the with
drawal of the American troops from the
island will be announced by Gen. Wood
at the same time. The chances are that
the withdrawal will take place on the
same day as the one set for the actual
Inauguration of the government, or a few
days later. The present probability is
that the United States troops viii evac-
uate Cuba ON or about May /, 1902, anG
that a new nation will be born in the
Gulf of Mexico.

great estates of the rich. Fox cubs are
very clever and very playful, but they
never are quite tame, and hence are
only temporarily safe house compan-
ions.
When invited to spend the night at
the home of a friend, it is now impef-
ative to add to the nightrobe and the
toilet auxiliaries a set of clean sheets.
Really fastidious people do so. When
the Gar and CZarina were invited to
be the guests of Paris. their touches
were fitted by France with linen from
the stock of royal napery accumulated
during the emperorship of Napoleon
III. The imperial guests calmly and
quietly directed their attendants to re-
move the French linen and substitute
for it the pieces wrought with the
arms of the Romanoffs. This. it was
explained to their perplexed entertain
ers. was the Gar and Czarina's invaria-
bic CUSTOM and it seemed to them to be
as imperative a piece of refinement as
the owning of individual toothbrushes.
Now all the smart set pretends to have
been ever scrupulous in regards TO indf
vidual bed linen. and diapers are hap
Ply because it increases the quantity
and enhances the quality Of their sales.
since their patrons consider that only
exquisitely fine. monogrammed or
crested sheets, ingeniously hand
stitched. are good enough for use when
going a-visiting.

and treating the Indians as other citi-

100,13 acres of land, adjoining the Usage
nation, in Oklahoma, and also have a
credit of about 100000 in trust fund

There are about $50 members Of the

that the lands shall be divided into
homesteads of 100 acres each. and al
lotted to the members of the tribe. the
balance of the lands either to be appor-
toned among the members or sold at
public auction, ana the proceeds placed
to the credit of the Indians. The bill
sets aside 100 acres of land for school
purposes, twenty acres for town site,
twenty acres for Il cemetery and FIVE
acres as a reservation on which will be
located the tents Of the INDECENT members
of the tribe
The Kaws have been selected for the
purpose of testing the merit of the gov
eminent policy, on account of their adj
yancement and industry There are but
lightweight full-bloodS in the tribe, and
almost without exception the members
of the tribe have shown thrift in the
management of their affairs. Most of
them are prosperous and are anxious 70

Republicans ignore the South,

AepuDtlCduS ignore the south.
The Republicans in Congress who
have planned to reduce the South's
representation because certain States
have adopted constitutional provisions
denying to ignorant negroes the right
10 vote, may well ask themselves why
the black belt has not produced man
worthy of place In the Cabinet
Attorney General Knox and Post
master General Smith are both from
Pennsylvania. Mr.. lnith's reslgna-
ton leaves that 81 e with tn one
Cabinet member. but the asgJintment
of Governor Shaw to the Treasury port
folio will give Iowa two members. Hon.
James Wilson. secretary of Agrieul-
ture being a resident of that State.
Missouri has a cabinet member in the
person, of MIR Hitchcock, but with that
exception the entire South is without
a place in the Presidents official
household, despite the fact that one
State in the North or West is &c corded
two members. If the President felt
any interest in the party in this section.
would he not put himself in closer
touch with the Southern Republicans?
1t is remarkable that in the thirty
five years In which the Republican par
ty has had opportunity to grow in the
more Southerly States 1t has produced
only two or three men who were deem
ed deserving of Cabinet places. Ii the
Republicans so ignore their brethren in
these parts, it must be for cause. The
explanation is easily found All that
is needed is to take a look at Southern
delegations in national Republican con-
yentions to note the congIomeration OF
small caliber white men and the
swarms of ignorant blacks WIG, IN the
main, are clamorous for spells. SO
soon as the convention adjOurns the
door is slammed in the faces of these
Southern brethren and they have no
part in national councils. Yet certain
Congressman are insistent that the
Southern States should permit these
BLACKS to vote, regardless Of then abili-
ty to read. The Republicans have no
use for the negro except in campaign
years. and men who are perfectly Will
ing to do all in their power to make the
black man a source of annoyance to the
white people of the South give him
neither social nor political equality in

MAY GUST NEGROES.

Ex-Slave Land Holders in Cherokee
Nation May Suffer Eviction.
Thousands of negroes who were for
merry slaves or descendants of slaves
and are now holding land in the Indian
Territory, may be declared homeless by
the courts, as the result Of a defect IN
an old Cherokee Indian treaty This
treaty is said to have been enacted dur
ing the closing days Of the Civil War,
and gave the cx-slavcs which the Chero-
KEGS had owned the right of citizenship
in the territory, and the right 60 hold al
lotments OF Land The right was also
extended TO the descendants of the slaves.
The Indians have acquired wisdom with
civilizations and have discovered they
have been beaten by the negroes in The
selection Of homes. Some OF the more
intelligent among the Indians have been
Investigating and have found that the
treaty which was enacted during the
Civil War was not tribal act aud al
lege that it and the later treaties which
have been based on it will have no stand

The Republican Retreat.

Some Republican partiSans would
say that the Republican party never re-
treats, and it seldom does when the
fieshpots and the fishes are in sight.
But its history since the Civil War has
been a series OF practical retreats. and
-jj,.st at this time it seems TO be making
ready for one Of the most shameless
inconsistencies of its history.
1t is important for the honesty of in
dividual Republican thought. and the
instruction CT the people generally. that
the heresy of the party action should
be noted and it is more consequential
to those who do not approve Republi-
can history to observe its present dis
honesty
Reciprocity -reciproca trade rela.
tons with foreign countries-was pro-
claimed by James G. Blaine-one of
the most brilliant figures in Republican
history--to be the logical pan-American
policy, and it was pointed out as pres
ent political duty by President McISin-
ley in his memorable speech in this city
in September last THE days of exclu-
siveness are past" said Mr.. Mckinley,
but what does his party say now? And
what is the courage of President Roose-
welt in Placement Of the heretofore mas
terful control of Senator Hanna?
The President in his message does not
make more plain a reciprocity policy
which all could see was the Towering of
the thought of Mckinley, but rather
does it appear that, with a few pretty
adieus, the reciprocity of Republican
historic thought will find its end in the
memory of Mckinley.
The Republican party has frequently
suffered from the offensive personality
of those whom the chance Of circum-
stance happened to give prominence,
but there have been few such situa-
lions as the leadership of Hanna nov
provokes If Theodore Roosevelt shall
follow this politician and eschew the
memory of Mckinley he will take his

Parties are necessary in free govern
ment. and partisans disagree, but the
President of the American common
wealth today is masterful in his power
for that popular good which comes
from national greatness and depends
on no party. With the force and vigor
of youth and the strength of personal
popularity, Theodore Roosevelt forces
American history; as he shall answer
his trust to the American people. so
shall his name appear therein-master
