today is wholly unlike the situation of ten

leaders of that day were doing. He stood
up for his own opinion. There were al
most as many opinions as there were lead
ers. Mr. Watterson thought the Wilson
bill anything but democratic measure
Mr. Wilson, who presided over its construc-
ton. regretted the necessity of putting in
any protection duties. Mr. German, who
mutilated the measure. did so because Mr.
wilson did not put in more protective du-
ties. Mr.. Hill refused to vote for the bill
because it carried the income tax feature
which he very correctly denounced as popu-
listic and unconstitutional. Mr.. Cleveland
refused to sign the bill the ground that

Mr.. ElkinS' Speech.

Mr.. Elkins found an opening, as The Star
hoped he would, for a speech explaining his
Joint resolution for the annexation of Cuba
But the speech by no means justifies the
resolution. 1t adds rather to the senator's
offense. For an offense it was to propose
as solution of the Cuban situation the
absorption of the island by the United
States at this time. The Cuban people have
but just taken their affairs into their own
hands, and are entitled to all of the en-
enlargement their sponsors can hold out to
them Instead of that Mr.. Elkins so far
as he is concerned. expresses, both in his
resolution and in his speech. the spirit of
doubt as to the success of the Cuban VEN
ture, and would hurry it to an end He
does not however. as Mr.. Plat of Connec-
ticut reminded him, speak for the American
people on this subject. and the Cubans. it
Is to be hoped, will be properly impressed
with the fact.
1t Is true, as Mr.. Elkins states. that the
annexation of Cuba has been the subject of
discussion in affairs since the early
days of the republic. Before the civil war
however, 1t was part of the scheme of the
slave power, which was seeking an enlarge
ment of it's territory, and was confronted
with an impossible barrier to the north
purpose, and Cuba was sought. The most
earnest of those pressing for Cuban annex
alton at that time were southern men. The
slavery question, far more than Cuba s
strategic value to the United States, in
fuenced the sentiment that then existed.
We have now an entirely new situation.
Slavery has disappeared both from the
United States and from Cuba. Cuba
strategic value to the United States is all
that remains of the annexation problem.
AS the result of this the south is opposed
to annexation, alike because of free sugar
and because of the race question. The
southern men insist that the race question
is already sufficiently difficult with US, and
that the hundreds of thousands of Cuban
negroes, speaking corrupted Spanish, would
be far from desirable as American citizens
Nor do the Cuban negroes favor the change.
So that in both countries today a strong
anti-anneXation sentiment is to be reck-
oned with.
For d dozen good reasons therefore this
is not the time for a discussion of Cuban
annexation. Cuba today wants a govern
ment of her own, and her flag has been
flying over the island less than fifty days
We helped TO raise it. and should be the
last to propose lowering it,

Tariff Reform.

The following interesting story comes from
Indianapolis:
Thomas Taggart who has undertaken TO
organize Indiana for David Il. Hill, has me,
IN unexpected obstruction in the marked
opposition of the members of the Indiana
Democratic Editorial Association and IL is
now certain that forty-four of the demo-
cratic weeklies and daiies in the state will
not only oppose the Hill boom but Will ar
tempt to counterfeit il by urging Indiana
democrats to take stand I'm favor of Rich
ard Olney-
; In discussion of the subject at the as
scciations meeting at French Lick it was
FOUND that forty-four out of the fifty-six
editors present favor Olney as against Hill
and steps were taken to offer direct and Wig
orous opposition to any attempt to organize
for tho New Yorker.
The chief objection offered TO Hill is
that he was one Of the men who stood in
the way of tariff reform legislation while
IN the Senate. and the belief was expressed
that he would be a weak man on a tariff
reform platform"
