CUBA Is TRANQUIL.

According to trustworthy advices
there is no substantial foundation for
the reports of possible disturbances in
Cuba. Havana correspondents say that
the Cubans realize that the eyes Of the
world are upon them as we'll as the
United States and their pride is at stake.
They know that the life or death Of
the republic depends upon their behav-
ing themselves and they are determined
to conduct themselves Alright. The most
radical leaders, 1t is stated, impress this
upon the people, and it Is safe to say
that their counsel will prevail, for they
have a pride in their republic and are
determined to give it a fair trial.
1t appears that there is a bitter feel
ing ON the part of the anti-annexation-
lists toward the annexationists, but 1t
is not likely TO lead to any serious
trouble, because there is an impression
that If any grave disturbance should
occur in the island, anything threaten
ing a revolution, the United States
would at once interpose and perhaps
take permanent control or the sland.
Doubtless our government would offer
the Cuban government assistance II II
should appear necessary to preserve
peace and order in Cuba, but only in
the event OF the inability Of the Cuban
authorities to pat down an uprising
would the Un.ted States intervene,
Meanwhile affairs IL the new republic
seem to be moving along without any
great difficulty. The financial situation
is not quite satisfactory and the gov
eminent is not getting as much revenue
as could be desired, which prevents pub
lie improvements that would give EN-
ployment 10 the people and better the
situation. Yet less complaint is heard
the people as a whole seem to be fairly
well contented and there is a very gen
eral disposition 10 keep the nag Of tht
republic flying.

on his way TO Paris to assist in the in
vestlgation Of the matter Of title and
he has expressed no doubt that the re-
suit win be entirely satisfactory to our
government, an opinion acquiesced in
by some of the ablest lawyers in con-
gress. The question will undoubtedly
be speedily settled after the American
officials get to Paris. and with this dis
posed of in the way expected an agree
ment with che Colombian government
will promptly follow.
1t appears that Nicaragua and Costa
Rica are still hopeful Of some hitch in
the negotiations that will give them a
chance. The ministers Of those coun-
tries at Washington profess to believe
that the United States will not be able
to make satisfactory arrangements for
the construction Of a canal at Panama
and will therefore in the end revert to
the Nicaragua route. This is of course
possible, but as now appears not at all
likely.

PhilOsOphic Examinations ON the Good
Crops Always Following Disaster.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
One of the strange things about agri-
culture in Nebraska is the fact that, lille
the crops are ruined there many times
every growing season, the harvests are
almost invariably bountiful.
This statement Of course will call to
mind the somewhat similar conditions
which prevail annually throughout the
peach district of Michigan. However. there
is a difference. The Michigan peach crop
is ruined as a rule by a late frost, and
only once every spring, whereas the Ne
braska corn, wheat, oat, rye and barley
crops are ruined frequently every summer
by drouth, floods, hot winds and hail
storms.
Travellers through the parts Of Nebraska
which have been desolated most frequently
are surprised to find them thickly inhabited
by a happy and prosperous people. In
those counties where the drouths, floods,
hot winds and hail storms lay waste thou
sands OF acres Of growing grain every sea-
son may be seen from a railway car window
handsome farm houses, fine barns, fields of
golden corn, herds OF fat cattle and other
evidences Of the bounteous blessings which
nature D0oLOWb upon an luuuSIlouo poOpiS'
Nobody but a complete stranger to the
way OF Nebraska, however, will permit this
apparent contradiction to trouble hin. The
traveller familiar with the vagaries of agri-
culture in this transmissour common
wealth will simply continue to look out Of
the car window and say nothing.
The crops Of Nebraska had already been
ruined three times this season when the
following dispatch reached the Inter Ocean
from Hastings:
"A terrific hail storm prevailed over a
considerable part Of the farming country in
this county this afternoon. Chunks Of ice
Weighing nearly a quarter Of a pound fell
for fifteen minutes. Chickens were killed
and young stock injured. Oats and corn
were driven into the ground"
That the oats and corn should be driven
into the ground by chunks OF ice weighing
nearly a quarter Of a pound will surprise
nobody. Neither does 1t seem strange that
such hailstones should kill chickens and
injure young live stock. The strange thing
Is that there should be anybody or anything
left in or near Hastings 20 tell the tale.
Perhaps these quarter-of-a-pound chvRks
of ice fell with the soft side down in most
cases, or perhaps they fell with force ouly
on the tassels and heads Of the corn and
oats. How far the stalks were driven into
the ground the dispatch leaves us IN con-
lecture and we are equally at a loss to
know whether they can be pulled back again
in time to break a corner on the Board Of
Trade.
But we presume they can.

THE DEMocRATIc"HARMONY MEETING


THE DEMOCRATIC "BARMONT" MEETING
The meeting at Nantasket under the
auspices Of the New England Demo
cratic league, with a view to promoting
party harmony, contributed nothing to
the attainment of that object, If in
deed it shall not have the effect to ag-
gravate democratic discord and division.
The conciliatory talk of Edward NJ.
Shepard Of New York was neutralized
by the utterances of w. j. Bryan. The
former would have the differences Of
the past forgotten and all democrats
united on the questions Of the present.
Mr.. Bryan declines to forget the past
and he refuses to harmonic with those
democrats who did not accept the Chi
cago-Kansas City platform and support
him. He still believes hat the doc
trines upon which he made his two
presidential campaigns are the true
principles of democracy and he proposes
to adhere to them.
Mr.. Bryan divides into two classes the
men who did not support him in 1896
those who understood the issue pre-
scented and those who did not under
stand the real nature Of the contest.
OF the former he declared that until
they ARE completely changed in their
sympathies they cannot return to the
party without injuring it." The refer
ence is to that large body of democrats,
including the ablest men in the party,
who rejected the free silver heresy and
who still believe in sound money. This
element Mr.. Bryan proposes, shall not
be recognized as democrats and shall
not be permitted to have anything to
say in regard to democratic principles
and policies unless they repudiate what
they did six years ago and confess they
were wrong in not supporting Organism.
The inference is that If they are adj
mitted to the councils of the party Mr..
Bryan will refuse to associate with
them.
Thus democratic Harmony" has been
given another slap and 1t remains to
be seen what the effect will be. Be
yond this the speech of Mr.. Bryan at
Nantasket is inconsequential. He said
nothing that he had not uttered many
times before. The country has been
long familiar with his demagogic class
appeals and they can exert no influence
now upon the intelligent and discern
ing. They had some potency when the
country was under a pail Of industrial
and commercial depression and millions
of people were idle, but they carry no
weight now when prosperity abounds
and the demand for labor in portions
of the country is in excess of the sup
ply. When the people are In distress,
as they were a few years ago under the
operation Of democratic policy, the
demagogue has his opportunity, but his
voice is not needed when all the peo-
pie are prosperous. The opinions, the
doctrines and the predictions Of w. ].
Bryan during the past six years have
been utterly discredited by events. No
politician in u history was ever more
completely wrong than he has been. HIS
latest deliverance shows that he has not
gained In wisdom and therefore has not
improved his claim to popular con-
hdence.
