THE United States has kept iii
word with Cuba, says our imperialis-
tic friend the Nashville American.
Not because it wanted to; not from a
sense of justice, but because it's word
was out. But for its word. it would
have treated Cuba as it is treating the
Philippines. But for its word, Cuba,
instead of being free, would have been
made bowling wilderness. Instead
of the young men of Cuba enjoying the
inspiration and hope of life in a free
republic. all of them over ten years
of age would have been ordered killed,
but for sits word. Fortunately for
Cuba, they got Its word" before the
carpetbagger obtained complete con-
troll over the administration. Pity
the Philippines did not get ''Its word"
before it had Toasted it's lustful eyes
upon that fair flower of the seas. Pity
for the honor of this country its word
must be proven before its sympathy
can be aroused or its sense of justice

DIR. Palmer was one of the stronges
leaders of the South in the pulpit i'm
mediately. preceding and during the
Civil War, and on Thanksgiving day.
1860, preached his famous secession
sermon in this city. In 1861, when
the Southern churches withdrew from
the Presbyterian Assembly at Philadel-
phia and met at Augusta, DR.. Palmer
was chosen as moderator, taking his
place as head of the Southern Presby-
terrain Church. His service in the
army was irregular, but his intimacy
with Gen. Polk and Gen. Beauregard
helped to turn his attention to the
spiritual necessities of the troops, ana
at one time he had full charge of de-
failing the Southern ministers in the
Army of Tennessee.

Washington. May 27.-The House

The feature of the day was lively

which was carried-S8 to IL.
MIR. Lands Ind. followed this VIC
tory with an amendment to prohib bit
the sale Of intoxicants in the Capitol,
and it prevailed by still larger ma
joritv-108 to 10.
The bill brings together into one act
all the scattered legislation heretofore
enacted in regard to the immigration
of aliens into the United States, ar
ranges 1t in sequence; eliminates what,
has become obsolete by reason of sub
sequent legislation amends some Of
the administrative features, and also
adds some provisions to the general

To Help Negroes Emmlgrate from
this Country.

| Chattanooga. Tenn, May 2S.-The
International Emigration and Com
mercial Association, composed of lead
| ing negroes of the country, is holding
a convention here. Bishop Turner and
DIR. Heard, Minister to Liberia under
Cleveland, are the chief promoters of
the new scheme. A petition has been
prepared to be presented to the Presi-
dent and Congress asking an appropri-
alton of $500, 900. 600 to assist dissatis-
fled negroes to leave this country. The
petition says:
This is no scheme of compulsory
colonization and deportation. The APP.
preparation asked should be available
for those only who voluntarily seek its
aid to assist them to home outside
of the United States. We are positive
that many hundred of thousands of
our people would freely and cheerfully
avail themselves of the opportunity to
live their lives amid other surround
ings and conditions. Such provision
will help everybody. 1t will help
those who leave the country and those
who stay, both white and colored. The
plan is rational and human. Things
have reached that condition in our
country that colored people enjoy rela-
lively less of the institutions of the
country, less of the protection Of the
laws less Of the usual and ordinary
processes Of the courts-in short. less
of humanity and all the rights that
belong to man independent of conven-
tions, compacts ana constitutions,
than in any nation on the face of the |
earth calling itself Christian and CIV
ilized even less than obtains IN Tur-
key and China. Judging from the fire.
luency of mobs and the unauthorized
taking of human lives our country has
assumed the first place in the ranks

Paris mo. Mercury: "For the
good of the army" is new cry in this
land of Washington, Jefferson and Lin
coin. One would think that he had
been suddenly transported into militia
rized France or soldier-ridden Ger
many to hear this strange prattle.
"For the good of the army" murder
must be hushed, torture condoned and
freedom subverted. 1t was the Cry
against Dreyfus, and has helped throt
tie justice and liberty from Romulus
TO Roosevelt. ''For the good of the
people" is a hating phrase in these
days when the jingoes are trying to
stir up military ardor over the butch
cry in the Philippines.

Your Uncle Marcus Aurelius Hanna
is the whole thing in the Ohio Repub-
lican convention. Foraker is a bad
second, and Grosevenor is merely a
'me-too" to the Boss. This country
is absolutely under the dominion and
control of the Republican party. And
the Republican party is under the do
minion and control of Mark Hanna.
When we recall the immortal lines,
"ill fares the land. to fastening ills a
prey, where wealth accumulates and
men decay" how dark appears the flu
ture of this country. It's greatness grew
under the wise and patriotic admins
tration Of statesmen. It's degeneracy
must be fast under the selfish rule of
commercial boor.
